FOREWORD. 


Ancestrial  pride  is  a  trait  common  to   human   kind. 

There  is,  at  present,  unusual  activity  among  Americans  to 

run    down   family   Imeage.     The   Library  of   Congress  at 

Washington,  D.  C,  makes  a  speciality  of  collecting  books 

and  pamphlets  on  Genealogies.     The  National  Society  of 

<;^  the  Daughters  of  the  American  Revolution  has  done  much 

Wj   toward  collecting  and  placing  in  convenient  form  much  of 

rv  American  Genealogy.     The  purpose  of  this  volume  is  to 

^WS^    put  in  permanent  form  the  lineage  of  the  Heatwole  Family. 

^1  In    1882,    David    A.    Heatwole   collected   data   of   the 

\t!^   American    Heatwoles    and  published    in   booklet  form    a 

S    *' History  of  the  Heatwole  Family,"  which  has  been  incor- 

(^    porated  into  this  volume.     The  interest  thus  far,  manifest- 

iT  ed  in  the  Heatwole  Genealogy,  gives  purpose  and  courage 

"V    to  the  author  of  the  present  volume  of  Heatwole  History, 

Vi    which  not  only  brings  the  family  line  up  to  the  present  time 

s.^   (1907),  but  follows  it  back  into  the  parent  European  stock 

'^    somewhat  beyond  the  date  1608. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  Heatwoles  throughout  this 
country,  together  with  their  connection  will  be  sufficiently 
interested  in  this  work,  to  peruse  carefully  these  pages, 
and  that  the  future  generations  ]vill  be  inspired  to  pre- 
serve and  improve  the  worthy  racial  qualities  of  their 
ancestors. 

"  The  sins  that  practice  burns  into  the  blood 
And  not  the  one  dark  hour  which  brings  remorse 
Will  brand  us,  after,  of  whose  fold  we  be." 

Tennyson.

HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


THE  INTRODUCTION. 


The  purpose  of  the  present  work  is  to  set  forth  in  a 
more  permanent  form,  the  material  thus  far  gathered  of 
the  Heatwole  lineage,  and  in  addition  gather  and  co-ordinate 
the  material  gotten  from  more  recent  scources,  and  put  all 
into  a  single  volume,  that  covers  the  entire  scope  of  the 
Heatwole  Genealogy  as  far  back  as  the  beginning  of  the 
Seventeenth  Century. 

So  far  there  have  been  two  efforts  to  put  in  perma- 
nent form  the  Heatwole  lineage;  the  first  was  made  by 
David  A.  Heatwole,  of  Dale  Enterprise,  Va.,  in  1882  when 
he  published  a  small  pamphlet,  "A  History  of  the  Heat- 
wole Family  from  the  Landing  of  the  Ancestors  of  the  Race 
up  to  the  Present  Time,"  The  second  effort  was  made  in 
1901  by  Jacob  Hixtwohl,  Jr.,  of  Steeg,  Germany,  when  he 
published  the  Chronik  der  Familie  Hiitwohl.  The  first 
covers  only  the  American  line  up  to  1878,  the  second  covers 
the  European  branch  from  about  the  year  1608  to  the  present, 
and  includes  the  pamphlet  by  David  A.  Heatwole  translated 
into  German.  The  present  volume  not  only  includes  both  the 
Chronik  der  Familie  Hiitwohl  and  the  History  of  the  Ameri- 
can branch,  but  there  is  added  a  complete  family  register  of 
the  Heatwole  lineage  to  the  present  time  (1907).  The  Heat- 
wole genealogy  is  then  complete  from  1608  to  the  present 
time. 

It  is  through  the  kindness  of  Dr.  John  W.  Wayland,  of 
the  University  of  Virginia,  that  we  have  a  translation  of 
the  Chronik  der  Familie  Hiitwohl.  "The  History  of  the 
Heatwole  Family"  has  undergone  no  changes  except  to 
mark  the  generations  through  it,  beginning  with  the  ances- 
tor Mathias  Hiitwohl,  and  to  correct  some  errors  which 
were  overlooked  in  reading  the  proof  when  it  was  published. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  American  branch  grew 
from  one  ancestor  into  numerous  families  scattered  throusfh- 
out  many  states  of  the  Union,  but  more  particularly  in  the 
Shenandoah  Valley  of  Virginia,  without  the  parent  stock 
in  Europe  knowing  anything  of  its  existence.  Credit  is  likely 
due   to  Mr.  John  T.    Heatwole,  of  Denver,  Colorado,  for 
discovering  the   home   of    the    ancestors   on    the    Rhine. 
He      chanced     upon      the      name      "Hiitwohl"    through 
Congressman  Joel  P.  Heatwole,  of  Minnesota,  and  institut- 
ed correspondence  with  Jacob  Hiitwohl  at  Steeg  bei  Bach- 
arach   am  Rhine,  and  found  that  the  Rhine  Hiitwohls  are 
distinctly  related  to  Mathias  Hiitwohl  who  immigrated  to 
America  in  1748,  and  who  is  the  single  ancestor  of  nearly 
all  the  Heatwoles  in  America  today.     It  will  be  noted  that 
more   than   one  hundred  and  fifty  years  had  elapsed  from 
the  time  Mathias  Hiitwohl  landed  in  America  to  the  time 
John  T.  Heatwole  sent  his  first  letter  to  Germany  in  1898. 
To  show  the  particular  circumstances  leading  to  the  finding 
of  the  parent  stock  in  Germany,  a  letter  bearing  date  of 
Dec.  26,  1898,  to  D.  A.  Heatwole  from  Jacob  Hiitwohl  Jr., 
of  Steeg  Germany  is  here  quoted.     "The  lately  deceased 
American    Consul-General    at    Berhn,    Mr.    Julius    Gold- 
schmitt  was  my  customer.     In  the  month  of  February  of 
this  year  (1898)  he  wrote  to  me  that  a  friend  of  his  Mr. 
Joel  P.    Heatwole,  of  Minnesota,  had  seen  my  label  with 
him   and   therefore  had  requested  him  to  search  whether 
there  might  not  be  a  connection  between  his  and  my  family, 
but   without   any   particulars   I   could  not   find   anything. 
Happily  not  much  later  on  the  second  of  July  I  received  a 
letter  from  Mr.  John  T.  Heatwole,   of  Denver,   Colorado, 
with  the  enclosure  of  your  history  of  the  Heatwole  Family. 
In  consequence  of  your  genealogy  I  have  discovered  that 
your  great-grand  father  Mathias  Hiitwohl  was  bom  in  the 
year  1711  under  the  name  of  Johann  Mathews  Hiitwohl  m 
the  house  in  which  I  now  live,  as  son  of  Johann  Georg  Hiit- 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


wole  and  the  latter  was  born  in  1685,  as  son  of  Hans  Georg" 
Hiitwohl.  Your  great-grandfather  Mathias  Hiitwohl  was  a 
brother  to  Johann  Peter  Hiitwohl  born  April  27,  1713,  and 
this  must  be  the  great-grandfather  of  my  branch." 

It  will  be  observed  by  reading  the  Chronik  der  Familie 
Hiitwohl  that  our  ancestor  Mathias  Hiitwohl  left  the  Father- 
land with  wife  and  two  children,  but  no  record  of  them  is  to  be 
had  in  connection  with  his  landing  at  Philadelphia  in  1748. 
It  is  most  probable  that  his  wife  and  two  children  did  not 
survive  the  sea  voyage  incident  to  German  emigrants  of  that 
time.  In  proof  of  this  belief  Jacob  Hiitwohl  quotes  from 
"The  Germans  in  the  United  States"  by  Rudolf  Cronau, 
Chapters  IV  and  V,  where  is  related  the  cruel  practices  of 
ship  captains  of  packing  emigrants  into  their  ships  in  num- 
bers far  beyond  the  capacity  of  their  vessels.  From  this 
condition  hundreds  of  emigrants  lost  their  lives  during  the 
voyage  across  the  Atlantic,  and  Mathias  Hiitwohl's  wife 
and  children  must  have  shared  the  fate  of  these  unfortunate 
ones.  Another  view  of  the  matter  ought  to  be  given  here. 
It  is  known  to  have  been  the  practice  of  the  United  States 
emigrant  officials  not  to  include  the  names  of  the  children 
of  immigrants  under  sixteen  years  of  age  on  their  lists,  thus 
it  is  possible  for  the  children  to  have  survived  the  voyage, 
and  that  their  descendants  are  still  living  in  Pennsylvania 
or  elsewhere.  While  back  of  these  views  are  mere  evidence 
of  fact,  the  first  seems  more  plausible. 

Just  how  the  name  changed  from  "Hiitwohl"  to  "Heat- 
wole"  is  not  known.  The  only  evidence,  known  to  the 
author,  of  the  anglicizing  of  the  name  is  found  in  "The 
German  Element  in  the  Shenandoah  Valley"  by  John  W. 
Wayland,  where  he  says  that  the  United  States  authorities 
sometimes  required  the  immigrants  to  anglicize  their  names. 
The  name  has  undergone  various  metamorphoses.  The 
ancestor's  names  as  written  in  the  register  at  Philadelphia 
in    1748  is  "Hiitwohl."     In    1799   in   deed  of  erant   from 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


Gwinn  to  David  (Harrisonburg,  Va.,)  the  name  is  "Het^ 
wol,"  other  forms  are  "Hetwold,"  "Heetwell,"  "Hutwell," 
"Hicdwohl,"  "Heatwol"  and  "Heatwole."  The  last  form 
is  the  one  now  generally  used.  Those  of  the  family  now 
living  in  Jefferson  County,  West  Virginia,  use  the  form 
"Hicdwohl."  It  should  be  remembered  in  this  connection 
that  the  first  few  generations  of  Heatwoles  did  not  speak 
Enghsh,  and  giving  their  names  to  the  civil  authorities,  the 
latter  received  only  the  phonetic  utterance  of  the  name, 
and  in  writing  the  name  spelled  it  out  in  English  form,  and 
thus  we  might  account  for  the  form  "Hetwol,"  in  the  deed 
to  David  Heatwole,  and  so  with  many  or  all  of  the  other 
forms  used. 

As  to  the  origin  of  the  name  nothing  is  definitely 
known.  There  is,  however,  something  of  interest  in  the 
meaning  of  the  name  Hiitwohl.  It  is  made  up  of  two  Ger- 
man root  words,  a  verb  and  an  adverb.  The  first  (Hiit) 
being  a  form  of  the  verb  which  means  "to  guard,"  "to 
watch,"  "to  herd,"  the  other  (wohl)  the  adverb  which  means 
"well."  The  name  then  means  "to  guard  well."  Whether 
the  name  was  applied  to  the  person  because  he  "guarded 
well"  a  military  post,  or  to  the  shepherd  who  looked  well 
to  his  flocks  on  the  German  hills,  or  yet  to  the  pastor  who 
kept  well  the  ecclesiastic  flock  intrusted  to  his  care  we  can- 
not say;  but  from  the  number  of  Hiitwohls  in  the  seven- 
teenth century  occupying  the  latter  position  (pastor)  it 
would  seem  that  the  name  came  from  the  latter  circumstance. 

The  Heatwoles  of  America  have  very  largely  embrac- 
ed the  Menonite  faith  in  their  reHgious  life.  From  a  rather 
careful  investigation,  it  was  ascertained  that  out  of  nearly 
one  thousand,  that  have  affiliated  themselves  with  any 
church,  six  hundred  and  fifty  are  Menonites,  with  less 
than  a  hundred  in  each  of  the  leading  denominations. 

While  as  a  rule  the  Heatwoles  of  America  have  pre- 
ferred  to   live   a    simple   rural    life,  seeking  a  livelihood 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


largely  through  agricultural  pursuits,  yet  a  number  of  them 
have  and  are  now  occupying  some  of  the  highest  positions 
in  civil,  political,  educational  and  religious  life  of  America. 
The  names  of  the  German  Hiitwohls  are  found  on  the  records 
of  the  Kingdom  of  Prussia  among  those  called  to  high  ser- 
vice in  that  government.  They  have,  both  in  America  and 
in  Germany,  developed  a  character  noted  for  its  sturdy,  prac- 
tical and  conservative  qualities.  It  is  interesting  to  note  in 
this  connection  that  the  general  features  of  the  parent  stock 
have  not  been  lost  in  the  American  branch,  for  there  is  even 
today  a  striking  resemblance  between  members  of  the  two 
branches.  Doctor  T.  O.  Heatwole,  of  Baltimore,  Mary- 
land, who  in  1899  visited  the  Hiitwohls  on  the  Rhine  says 
of  them  in  a  private  letter:  "Upon  my  arrival  in  the 
European  port  letters  of  greeting  and  welcome  to  the 
Fatherland  were  put  into  my  hands,  which  left  no  possibil- 
ity of  a  doubt  as  to  the  cordiality  of  greeting  which  awaited 
me  at  the  ancestral  home  at  Steeg.  *  *  «^  *  '-£)jq 
members  of  the  Hiitwohl  family  in  Germany  are  a  thrifty 
people,  cultured,  refined,  honorable  and  highly  esteemed 
and  respected  in  the  business  and  the  social  world.  The  con- 
servatism and  practical  qualities  of  the  Heatwoles  of  our 
own  land  can  best  be  appreciated  by  contact  with  the  sturdy 
going  Germans  who  through  centuries  past  have  held  their 
own  against  the  many  obstacles  presented  in  the  nature  of 
-political  upheavals  within  the  special  confines  of  their  chosen 
section.  They  are  loyal,  law-abiding  citizens  and  in  every 
way  equipped  to  reflect  credit  upon  the  present  day 
civilization." 

Through  the  courtesy  of  Mr.  Luther  Kelker,  custodian 
of  the  Division  of  Public  Records  of  the  State  Library  at 
Harrisburg,  Pa.,  the  author  is  able  to  give  the  readers  of 
this  volume  the  autograph  of  Mathias  Hiitwohl,  as  entered 
on  the  original  pledge  that  was  required  by  the  Province  of 
Pennsylvania  at  that  time.     It  might  be   of  interest  to  say 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


here  that  while  a  number  of  the  ninety-six  immigrants  of 
his  ship  made  their  marks,  our  ancestor  wrote  his  own  name 
as  here  given  : 


c*  . 


The  total  number  of  names  to  be  found  in  this  volume 
is  about  two  thousand  five  hundred.  Out  of  that  number  a 
few  over  six  hundred  and  fifty  go  by  the  name  Heatwole 
or  Hiitwohl, 

It  is  impossible  to  acknowledge  here  in  a  special  way 
the  assistance  that  so  many  have  rendered  in  the  preparation 
of  this  work;  the  author,  however,  wishes  to  express  his 
thanks  to  all  who  so  heartily  aided  him.  Special  thanks  are 
due  Bishop  L.  J.  Heatwole,  Rev.  Christian  Good  and 
Millard  O.  Heatwole  for  valuable  assistance  rendered  in 
making  the  Index,  and  to  David  A. "  Heatwole  for  informa- 
tion and  assistance,  without  which  this  volume  would  be 
much  less  valuable.  The  author  is  indebted  also  to  Gen- 
eral John  E.  Roller,  of  Harrisonburg,  Va.,  for  valuable 
suggestions.  The  scheme  of  numbers  used  throughout  the 
family  register  has  been  adopted  from  the  Berry  and 
Wenger  histories  prepared  by  Joseph  Wenger,  of  South 
English,  Iowa. 

With  grateful  acknowledgement  to  all  for  the  encour- 
agement received  during  the  preparation  of  this  work,  the 
author  submits  it,  conscious  of  its  imperfections,  with  the 
hope  that  it  may  find  appreciative  hearts  and  homes  among 
the  people  in  whose  veins  flow  the  He:itwole  blood.

OF  THE

A    TRANSLATION    FROM    THE    GERMAN, 
BY  JOHN  WALTER  WAYLAND  ; 

WITH  SOME  EMENDATIONS  SUGGESTED  BY 
PROFESSOR   R.   H.   DABNEY. 

University  of  Virginia, 
Aprii,-May,   1907. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  11 


As  ancestor  of  the  Heatwole  Family,  we  introduce  the 
worthy  clergymaTi,  Georg  Hiitwohl,  of  Morschbach,  near 
Rheinbollen  upon  the  Hundsriick,  15  kilometers  [about 
9  1-3  miles]  from.  Steeg. 

His  descent  and  the  date  of  his  birth  have  not  been 
ascertained;  but,  so  far  as  is  known,  he  died  in  the  year 
1608.  He  must  also  have  been  one  of  the  first,  or  the  first, 
of  the  evangelical  ministers  at  the  old  church,  already  dedi- 
cated in  the  year  1006,  of  that  part  of  Morschbach  situated 
on  the  former  Roman  road  fron  Bingen  to  Trier. 

The  Reformation  in  the  part  of  Morschbach  belonging 
to  Pfalz — Simmern  was  inaugurated  on  July  16,  1557, 
through  the  duke  residing  in  Simmern,  Frederick  H,  who 
appointed  as  pastors  to  the  foremost  churches  of  his  land 
men  from  abroad — men  of  piety  and  skill  in  the  Scriptures. 

It  is  possible  that  Georg  Hutwohl  was  a  native  of  this 
place;  it  is  possible,  also,  that  he  sprang  from  another  sec- 
tion of  Hundsriick,  where,  as  appears  from  the  following, 
many  of  the  persons  of  the  name  Hutwohl  were  found  at 
that  tim.e. 

The  royal  archivist  at  Coblenz  writes  on  August  26, 

1899: 

"The investigations  undertaken  inconsequence  of  yotir 
inquiries  have  not,  I  regret  to  say,  led  to  the  discovery  of  any 
information  concerning  the  Rev.  Peter  Hiitwohl,  of  Morsch- 
bach. The  Acts  at  hand  concerning  this  village  are  very 
incomplete,  and  do  not  enable  one  at  all  to  determine  when 
Morschbach  ceased  to  be  a  self-sustaining  parish.  Only 
from  the  property-register  of  the  local  church  for  the  year 
1608,  one  may  conclude  that  the  said  Rev.  Georg  Hiitwohl 
had  just  recently  died.  In  the  said  register  appears  a  Mel- 
chior  Hiittwol  as  clergyman  at  Laubach  and  as  agent  of  the 
Morschbach  minister.  (He  could  as  well  have  been  the 
uncle  as  the  brother  of  Rev.  Peter  Hutwohl.) 

"Further,  in  a  tax-register  of  the  bailiwick  of  Simmern 


12  HISTORY  OP^  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


for  the  year  1656,  is  found  entered  among  the  tax-payers 
belonging  to  the  town  of  Simmern,  but  living  outside,  the 
widow  of  Hans  Wilhelm  Hiitwohl.  I  would,  therefore, 
humbly  suggest  to  you  that  you  next  undertake  further  in- 
vestigations in  the  church-books  and  the  city  record-office 
of  Simmern." 

"Dr.  P^orst  (in  deputy).'* 

All  further  investigations  in  Simmern,  Horn,  -and  the 
provincial  church  records  in  Vallendar  were  fruitless;  but 
in  Karlsruhe  the  Coblenz  record  was  confirmed.

and  School-Teachers  from  1585  to  1621. 

On  page  114  is  found  the  following  entry:

On  page  115b  is  recorded: 

Laubbachen 
Melchior  Hiitwol,  Clergyman.     7  October,  1603. 

Dead." 

The  first  bearer  of  the  name  Hiitwohl  in  Steeg  was 
Georg  Hiitwohl,  who  was  a  grandson  of  Rev.  Georg 
Hiitwohl,  and  a  son  of  Rev.  Peter  Hiitwohl,  of  Morschbach, 
and  who  followed  the  trade  of  a  cooper  in  Steeg.  Georg 
Hiitwohl  was  born  in  the  year  1615.  He  married  in  the 
year  1647,  Anna  Sophia  nee  Lieschied.  He  died  at  the  age 
of  73  years,  on  May  28,  1688,  after  his  wife  had  preceded 
him  3  months  earlier,  on  February  29,  1688  (leap-year),  at 
the  age  of  64  years. 

He  lived  through  the  period  of  the  Thirty  Years  War; 
and  was  doubtless  one  of  those  who  suffered  keenly  in  the 
war-storms  of  the  time,  Steeg  suffered  so  terribly  during 
this  period  that  it  has  not  even  today  regained  its  former 
size.     Before  the  Thirty  Years  War  brought  its  ruin,  the 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  13 


number  of  births  each  year  was  about  50.  Today  the  num- 
ber varies  between  25  and  35.  The  whole  population  of 
Steeg  took  refuge  once  during  the  period  in  the  forest  of 
St.  Goar,  in  order  to  escape  the  outrages  of  the  inhuman 
soldiery.  A  gentleman,  who  had  abundant  opportunities 
for  becoming  acquainted  with  the  misery  of  the  war,  tells 
us  as  an  eye-witness  how  he,  as  a  child  in  his  father's  house, 
beheld  the  wild  excesses  of  a  plundering  crowd  of  soldiers: 
The  first  thing  that  the  troopers  did,  beginning  in  my 
father's  dark  painted  rooms,  was  to  stable  their  horses  there- 
in. After  that,  each  one  had  his  own  particular  task  to 
perform,  of  which  each  blazing  ruin  and  desolate  waste 
gave  evidence.  For  if  indeed  some  began  to  butcher,  to 
boil,  and  to  roast,  so  that  it  appeared  as  if  there  was  going 
to  be  held  a  carousing  banquet,  there  was  some,  on  the 
other  hand,  who  would  be  storming  through  the  house, 
from  celler  to  garret,  and  there  was  no  place  secure  from 
them.  Others  put  together  of  cloth,  clothing,  and  other 
household  articles  great  bundles,  as  if  they  were  going 
somewhere  to  set  up  a  retail  store,  but  what  they  did  not 
choose  to  take  with  them  was  broken  and  ruined.  Some 
pierced  into  the  hay  and  straw  with  their  swords,  as  if  they 
had  not  had  enough  hogs  to  stick.  Some  poured  the  feath- 
ers out  of  the  beds  and  filled  them  with  bacon;  others  put 
dried  meat  and  other  things  in  them,  as  if  it  were  then  pos- 
sible to  sleep  on  them  better;  others  knocked  in  stoves  and 
windows,  just  as  if  they  had  an  eternal  summer  to  proclaim. 
Copper  vessels  and  tinware  they  beat  together,  and  packed 
up  the  bent  and  broken  prieces.  Bedsteads,  tables,  chairs, 
and  benches  they  burnt  up,  although  many  cords  of  dry 
wood  lay  in  the  yard;  earthenware  and  dishes  all  had  to  be 
smashed,  either  because  they  preferred  to  eat  roast,  or  be- 
cause they  judged  themselves  able  to  hold  only  a  single 
meal.  The  servant-boy  they  laid  bound  upon  the  ground, 
put  a  gag  into  his  mouth,  and  pored  into  him  a  milk-pailful  of 


14  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


filthy  barnyard  water,  a  thing  they  called  a  Swedish  dram, 
which,  instead  of  tickling-  his  palate,  contorted  his  visage 
with  marvelous  grimaces.  By  this  means  they  induced  him 
to  lead  a  party  to  another  place;  there  they  captured  both 
persons  and  cattle;  and  brought  them  to  our  yard.  Among 
the  number  were  my  father,  my  mother,  and  our  maid. 
Once  there,  they  began  to  take  the  flints  out  of  their  pistols, 
and  in  the  place  of  these  to  screw  up  the  thumbs  of  the 
peasants,  and  to  torture  the  poor  fellows  sorely.  One  of 
the  captured  peasants  they  thrust  into  the  bake-oven,  and 
were  behind  him  with  fire.  They  put  a  rope  around  the  head 
of  another,  and  twisted  it  together  with  a  stick  so  hard  that 
the  blood  gushed  out  at  his  mouth,  nose  and  ears.  In 
short,  each  one  had  his  device  for  tormenting  the  peasants, 
and  each  peasant,  on  his  part,  underwent  his  particular 
torture. 

Added  to  such  devastating  excesses  of  the  soldiers, 
there  came  also  during  the  war  a  fearful  plague,  which  con- 
tributed its  part  toward  making  Germany  a  complete  waste. 
In  Steeg  there  were  buried  on  a  certain  afternoon  during 
this  period  a  hundred  corpses — so  many  that  the  astonished 
clergyman  did  not  have  a  chance  to  record  their  names  in 
the  church-book.  At  the  time  a  writer  makes  complaint 
concerning  the  woes  of  his  day: 

How  pitiable  are  the  great  cities!  Where  formerly 
were  a  thousand  streets,  are  now  not  more  than  a  hundred. 
How  wretched  are  the  small  cities,  the  unwalled  towns,  as 
they  lie  burnt,  ruined,  in  confusion,  so  that  neither  roof , 
rafter,  doors,  nor  window  is  to  be  seen.  How  they  have 
transformed  the  churches!  They  have  burned  them,  carried 
off  the  bells;  they  have  turned  them  into  horse-stables  and 
sutlers'  quarters;  they  have  defiled  the  altars.  O  God! 
How  miserable  is  it  with  the  villages!  One  may  walk  for 
ten  miles  and  never  see  a  person — not  an  ox,  not  a  sparrow; 
where  at  some  places  not  an  old  man,  not  a  deserted  child, 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  15 


not  even  a  few  old  women  are  to  be  found.  In  all  the  villages 
the  houses  lie  full  of  corpses  and  dead  animals— husband, 
wife,  children,  and  servants,  horses,  hogs,  cows,  and  oxen, 
side  by  side  and  one  upon  the  other,  slaughtered  by  the 
plague  and  hunger,  full  of  maggots  and  worms,  and  partly 
eaten  by  wolves,  dogs,  crows,  ravens,  and  other  birds;  for 
there  was  no  one  to  bury  them;  no  one  who  has  mourned  for 
them  or  wept  over  them.  So  great  has  the  want  become 
that  the  people  have  fallen  upon  one  another,  have  killed 
and  eaten  one  another;  so  great  that  the  poor  have  cut  out 
pieces  of  flesh  from  the  carrion-heaps,  broken  up  the  bones, 
and  with  the  marrow  thereof  cooked  the  flesh  that  already 
was  filled  with  worms. 

The  marriage  of  Georg  Hiitwohl  with  Anna  Sophia  nee 
Lieschied  was  blessed  with  six  children,  five  sons  and  a 
daughter,  whose  names,  in  chronological  order,  were 
(1)  John  Simon  Hiitwohl,  (2)  John  Sebastian  Hiitwohl,  (3) 
Sophia  Margaret  Hiitwohl,  (4)  John  Georg  Hiitwohl,  (5) 
John  Jacob  Hiitwohl,  and  (6)  John  Peter  Hiitwohl.  The 
father,  Georg  Hiitwohl,  appears  to  have  had  a  great  lik- 
ing for  the  name  John. 

The  eldest,  John  Simon  Hiitwohl,  was  born  on  the  4th 
of  February,  1649,  and  died  in  tender  childhood  on  the  6th 
of  August,  1653,  at  the  age  of  4}4  years. 

The  second  son  of  Georg  Hiitwohl  and  Anna  Sophia 
nee  Lieschied,  John  Sebastian  Hiitwohl,  was  born  February 
9,  1651.  He  married  Anna  Christina,  whose  family  name 
as  well  as  her  wedding-day,  was  not  ascertainable.  John 
Sebastian  Hiitwohl  died  at  the  age  of  37  years,  on  February 
27,  1688.  His  wife  outlived  him  almost  a  quarter  of  a 
century;  she  died  on  May  9,  1712. 

John  Sebastian  Hiitwohl  and  Anna  Christina  had  two 
sons:  (1)  John  George  Hiitwohl  and  (2)  John  Mathias 
Hiitwohl. 

John    George    Hiitwohl    was    born     on     January    8, 


16  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


1682.  He  married  the  clergyman's  daughter,  Anna 
Sophia  nee  Andrea,  on  August  -8,  1687.  [1687  is 
evidently  incorrect.  The  year  was  probably  about  171Q.] 
God  bestowed  upon  them  five  childred,  four  boys  and  one 
girl.  There  names  are:  (1)  John  Mathias  Hiitwohl,  (2) 
John  Peter  Hiitwohl,  (3)  Maria  Regina  Hiitwohl,  (4)  John 
Gerhardt  Hiitwohl,  and  (5)  John  Ulrich  Hiitwohl.  John 
Georg  Hiitwohl  died  on  February  14,  1738,  at  the  age  of  56 
years.  His  wife  died  on  March  27,  1759,  in  her  72d  year. 
The  second  son  of  John  Sebastian  Hiitwohl  and  Anna 
Christina  is  John  Mathias  Hiitwohl.  He  was  born  on  Nov- 
ember 8,  1686.  He  married  Sophia  Margaret  nee  Lyschied 
— the  manner  of  writing  the  name  is  noticeable — and  died 
in  his  29th  year,  on  August  14,  1714,  after  he  had  been 
made  fortunate  through  a  little  son,  John  Georg  Hiitwohl, 
His  little  son,  John  Georg  Hiitwohl,  born  on  January  15, 
1713.  John  Mathias  Hiitwohl  was  elected  in  the  year  1711 
to  the  field-guard.  The  oath  by  which  he  had  to  order  his 
conduct  may  be  interesting: 

1.  "You  shall  promise  and  then  swear  before  God  and 
his  Gospel,  to  be  friendly  and  obedient  to  our  most  gracious 
prince  and  lord,  Karl  Theodore,  Count-Palatine  of  the 
Rhine,  Chief  Treasurer  and  Elector  of  the  Holy  R-oman 
Empire  in  Bavaria,  Duke  of  Jiilich,  Kleve,  and  Berg, 
Prince  of  Mors,  Marquis  of  Bergen  op  Zoom,  Count  of  Vel- 
dentz,  Sponheim,  the  Mark,  and  Ravensburg,  Lord  of 
Ravenstein;  to  be  loyal  to  the  honorable  council  and  the 
whole  commonwealth;  to  promote  their  best  interests;  to  de- 
fend them  from  injury;  and  not  to  relinquish  such  efforts 
with  regard  to  a  single  motive,  how  means  may  be  contriv- 
ed for,  as  for  yourself,  the  honor  that  belong  to  the  people. 

2.  You  shall  be  a  guard,  and  keep  your  eyes  intent 
upon  every  man,  and  that  none  the  less  because  of  friend- 
ship or  gift,  nor  yet  because  of  any  sort  of  motive  that  the 
hearts  of  men  may  contrive. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  17 


3.  You  have  permission  to  punish  those  who  glean 
apples,  pears,  peaches,  nuts,  grapes,  chestnuts,  or  anything 
else,  whatever  it  may  be,  before  St.  Martin's  Day,  on  the 
estates  of  other  persons;  also  those  who  pull  off  such  fruit 
for  other  people,  knock  it  off,  or  in  any  other  way  obtain  it 
unlawfully. 

4.  Likewise,  when  you  observe  a  man  who  appears  as 
if  he  were  about  to  do  some  mischief,  you  shall  follow  him 
day  and  night,  and  give  close  attention  to  him. 

5.  Likewise,  when  anything  by  reason  of  distraint  or 
as  money  from  persons  fined  shall  be  given  to  you,  you 
shall  not  keep  it  yourself,  but  shall  deliver  it  to  the  burgo- 
master; what  he  then  shall  give  57-ou,  you  shall  have  to  keep. 

6.  You  shall  keep  in  order,  day  and  night,  people  and 
stock,  and  whatever  is  abroad. 

7.  You  shall  punish  all  those  who  pasture  their  cattle 
upon  second-growth,  or  turn  them  into  orchards  and  fields, 
before  St.  Martin's  Day;  but  they  may  turn  out  and  pasture 
at  that  time  upon  their  own  property  without  harming 
other  persons. 

8.  You  shall  punish  all  who,  in  the  vineyards  or  else- 
where, cut  fire- wood,  or  remove  it  in  a  harmful  manner, 
either  in  winter  or  in  summer-time. 

9.  You  shall  punish  all  those  wagoners  who  carry 
drags  on  their  wagons  behind,  thereby  tearing  up  the  road- 
way and  the  laid  foundations,  and  transgressing  and  violat- 
ing the  law. 

10.  You  shall  also  bring  to  account  and  judge  all  those 
who  enter  upon  the  estates  of  another  and  turn  up  earth,  as 
if  they  had  permission  to  make  use  of  the  property  for 
themselves,  and  when  the  one  so  doing  cannot  with  truth 
prove  such  a  condition,  you  are  to  arrest  him  and  bring 
him  up  for  trial,  just  as  if  he  had  been  apprehended  upon 

the  deed. 

11.  You   shall   also   punish    the   vagabond   servants, 


18  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


who,  without  permission  of  their  masters,  shall  lead  in  with 
themselves  upon  their  masters'  estates  other  servants,  male 
or  female,  to  give  them  the  same  wood,  leaves,  grass,  or 
fruit,  etc.,  and  to  have  them  come  for  that  purpose:  they 
shall  be  all  punished  together. 

Now,  when  this,  as  appears  above,  is  read  over  to  the 
guard,  thus  shall  the  burgomaster  question  the  guard: 
Have  you  well  understood  what  has  been  read  over  to  you? 
You  shall  sincerely  answer  Yes;  and  faithfully  shall  perform 
it.  Then  shall  each  one  raise  his  two  forefingers,  with  his 
thumb,  and  shall  say,  one  after  the  other:  Whereas  every- 
thing has  now  been  read  over,  and  we  also  have 
well  understood  it,  the  same  will  we  and  each  one 
separately  faithfully  and  diligently  perform,  which  we  do 
swear;  so  help  us  God  and  his  holy,  Gospel.  In  the  begin- 
ning was  the  Word,  the  Word  was  with  God,  and  the  Word 
was  God. 

The  first  son  of  John  George  Hiitwohl  and  Anna  Sophia 
nee  Andrea  is  John  Mathias  Hiitwohl,  (The  American  An- 
cestor). He  was  born  in  the  year  1711.  He  marrried,  on 
February  11,  1744,  Anna  Christina  nee  Heiderich.  Their 
two  daughters,  Christine  Elizabeth  Hiitwohl  and  Anna 
Susanna,  were  born  on  October  16,  1745,  and  on  October 
17,  1747,  respectively.  Concerning  the  members  of  the 
Hiitwohl  family,  ample  data  in  regard  to  this  period  are  to 
be  had.  It  is  therefore  noteworthy  that  with  John  Mathias 
Hiitwohl,  at  the  year  1747,  particular  facts  of  information 
cease.  However,  in  the  year  1748,  on  September  15,  a 
Mathias  Hiitwohl  landed  at  Philadelphia,  on  board  the  ship 
"Two  Brothers";  so  it  is  possible  to  infer  with  confidence 
that  this  man  had  emigrated  from  Steeg. 

In  order  to  prove  that  the  disappearance  of  our  ances- 
tress Anna  Christina  nee  Heiderich  and  of  her  two  daugh- 
ters, Christine  Elizabeth  Hiitwohl  a^id  Anna  Susanna 
Hiitwohl,  was  due  to  the  emigration  movement  of  that  time, 
an  article  of  the  Cologne  Gazette,  volume  1897,  Nos.  527  and 
596,  shall  here  follow.

THE  GERMANS  IN  THE  UNITED  STATES. 

BY    RUDOLF  CRONAU. 

.  ,^     ,,■.,'"'  IV. 

The  Great  Emigration  of   the  Palatines  in  the  Eighteenth 

Century. 

During-  the  wars  which  Germany  at  the  end  of  the  17th 
and  at  the  beginning  of  the  18th  century  was  carrying  on  with 
the  "Most  Christian  King,"  Louis  XIV,  of  France,  there 
was  no  land  so  terribly  visited  as  the  Palatine,  which  at 
tliat  time  was  inhabited  by  about  a  half-million  people. 
Already  during  the  Thirty  Years  War  the  Palatines  had 
lived  through  cruel  times,  but  these  were  nothing  in  com- 
parison to  the  distress  which  was  inflicted  upon  the  Palatines 
through  the  predatory  excursions  of  the  French. ,  When,  in 
the  year  1688,  the  French  hosts,  without  a  declaration  of 
war,  threw  themselves  into  the  land,  they  came  with  the 
design  systematically  to  turn  it  into  a  desert,  in  conformity 
with  the  will  of  their  king,  who  wished  to  know  that  the 
frontier  between  France  and  Germany  extended  through  a 
4esert.  Innumerable  smiling  villages  went  up  in  flames; 
Heidelberg,  Mannheim,  Speyer,  Worms,  Alzey,  Oppen- 
heim,  Kreuznach,  Gernsheim,  Ladenburg,  and  many  other 
places  sank  in  ashes;  the  imperial  sepulchres  in  the  cathe- 
dral at  Speyer  were  burst  open  and  plundered.  With 
blood  and  fire  the  French  incendiaries,  Melac,  Turenne,  and 
de  Gorges,  wrote  in  the  book  of  history  their  names — names 
on  which  the  curse  of,  thousands  fastened  itself. 

To  the  horrors  which  the  Palatines  at  that  time  experi- 
enced, were  added  besides  oppression  and  religious  perse- 
cution through  their  own  sovereigns.  Already  four  times 
during  the  last  hundred  years,  with  the  change  of  princes 
four  times  introduced,  had  the  Palatines  been  obliged  to 
qhange  their  faith;  for  cnjus  regio,  ejus  reUgio,  those  princes 


20  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


declared,  and  forced  their  subjects  first  to  go  over  from 
Catholicism  to  Lutheranism,  then  to  become  Reformed,  then 
again  Lutheran,  and  finally  once  more  Reformed.  In  the 
year  1690,  ever^'body  in  the  territory  came  under  the 
government  of  the  Jesuit  Elector,  John  William,  who,  him- 
self a  fanatical  Catholic,  now  once  more  would  make  the 
Palatines  Catholics  again  b}^  force.  Epicureanism,  prodi- 
gality, and  extortion  from  townsmen  and  peasants  were 
characteristic  of  this  simpleton  at  the  court  of  Diisseldorf , 
who,  in  his  manner  of  life  and  habits  of  luxury,  not  only 
sought  to  ape  after  Germany's  greatest  enemy,  Louis  XIV, 
but  even  erected  during  his  lifetime  his  own  monument, 
which  even  yet  is  to  be  seen  upon  the  market-place  in 
Diisseldorf. 

The  inscription  says,  "The  grateful  city  has  erected  this 
monument  to  the  Prince";  but  how  little  reason  his  subjects 
had  for  gratitude  appears  from  this  fact,  that  about  the 
year  1708  thousands  of  the  poor  Palatines,  who  no  longer 
able  to  keep  the  everlasting  empty  coffers  of  the  spendthrift 
full,  came  to  the  resolution  to  go  over  to  America.  In  this 
resolution  they  were  not  only  strengthened  by  the  constant- 
ly threatening  French  peril,  but  they  were  also  encouraged 
thereto  by  their  countrymen  already  dwelling  on  the  other 
side  of  the  ocean.  Especially,  a  little  work,  considerably 
distributed  among  the  Palatines,  the  so-called  "Golden 
Book,"  whose  ornamented  title-page  was  stamped  in  gold 
with  the  picture  of  the  Queen  of  England,  made,  through 
its  enticing  descriptions  of  the  English  North-American 
colonies,  the  deepest  impression  upon  the  poor  people.  The 
first  company  of  Palatines  who  went  abroad  stood  under  the 
leadership  of  the  Rev.  Joshua  von  Kocherthal,  numbered 
52  head,  and  came  in  March,  1708,  across  Holland  to  Lon- 
don, where  the  English  government,  which  wished  to  peo- 
ple its  trans- Atlantic  possessions,  declared  itself  ready  to 
conduct  them  over  to  the  shores  of  the  Hudson.     There  the 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  21 


Palatines  founded  a  settlement,  which,  in  memory  of  their 
home  town,  they  called  Neuburg— the  present-day  New- 
burgh . 

The  news  of  the  friendly  reception  and  assistance 
which  had  been  extended  to  the  Palatines  on  the  part  of 
English  government  came  back  to  the  Palatinate,  and  call- 
ed forth  here  great  excitement.  This  was  turned  to  good 
accoimt  by  the  English  commissioners  sent  to  the  Palatin- 
ate to  stimulate  the  spirit  of  emigration  still  more;  more- 
over, the  fearfully  cold  winter  of  1708  and  1709,  during 
which  all  field  crops  and  vines  were  destroyed  and  the  wine 
was  frozen  in  the  casks,  contributed  not  a  little  to  the 
same  end. 

It  was  in  the  spring  of  1709,  that  the  Rhine  became 
the  theater  of  one  of  the  most  extraordinary  events.  All 
floating  craft,  in  the  shape  of  rafts,  skiffs,  boats,  and  other 
vessels,  went  gliding  down  the  beautiful  stream,  all  laden 
with  unfortunate  people,  who  in  bundles,  boxes,  and  chests, 
were  carrying  with  them  the  few  things  they  still  pos- 
sessed. From  the  upper  Rhine  these  emigrants  took  ship  to 
Holland,  passed  over  from  there  to  England,  and  tarried  at 
London  to  obtain  from  the  English  government  the  further 
advancement  to  North  America.  In  England  they  became 
alarmed  at  the  multitude  of  the  German  emigrants,  whom 
they  were  soon  no  longer  able  to  lodge,  and  for  whom  they 
had  to  make  temporary  quarters  in  the  Schwarzen  Heide 
(Black  Heath)  near  London. 

Here  were  soon  assembled  no  less  than  from  13,000  to 
14,000  Palatines  (Loher  says  as  many  even  as  32,468;  but 
the  statements  on  the  point  are  very  contradictory),  given 
over  to  want,  for  the  government  did  not  have  ships  enough 
to  suffice  for  the  transporting  of  so  great  a  multitude.  The 
brilliant  beneficence,  put  forth  at  first,  gradually  waned,  so 
that  by  the  beginning  of  winter  the  misery  became  con- 
stantly  greater,    and   in    consequence    about    a    thousand 


^  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


persons  died.  Under  the  circumstances  some  remedy  for 
the  state  affairs  had  to  be  devised,  so  the  government 
shipped  several  thousand  of  the  unfortunates  back  to 
Holland  and  Germany;  about  3800  they  brought  to  Ireland, 
for  the  purpose  of  aiding  the  weaving  industry  there;  but 
600  they  sent  to  Carolina,  and,  at  the  beginning  of  the  year 
1710,  more  than  3000  to  New  York,  with  the  newly 
appointed  Governor  Hunter.  Only  2227  Palatines  reached 
their  desired  destination,  the  banks  of  the  Hudson,  for  470 
persons  died  of  ship-fever  during  the  voyage,  and  250  upon 
the  little  Governor's  Island,  located  near  New  York,  where 
the  town  authorities  of  New  York  detained  again  for  several 
weeks,  in  bad  lodgings,  the  immigrants  who  were  suspect- 
ed of  bringing  in  contagious  diseases. 

When  finally  this  frightful  quarantine  had  been  lifted, 
the  Palatines  hoped  that  now  their  worst  difficulties  had 
been  surmounted.  But  the  cup  of  suffering  appointed  to 
them  was  still  for  a  long  time  not  at  its  end,  for  after 
Gfovernor  Hunter  had  finally  collected  them  into  two  camps. 
East  Camp  and  West  Camp,  situated  on  both  sides  of  the 
Hudson,  south  of  the  Catskill  Mountains,  there  began  for 
the  most  wretched  creatures  another  additional  year  during 
the  time  of  their  oppression.  They  were  looked  upon  as  a 
piece  of  arable  land  is  regarded  by  crown- vassals,  who 
should  be  put  under  bond,  who  should  discharge  the  assist- 
ance extended  them,  as  well  as  the  expense  of  their  voyage 
over  and  their  maintenance,  through  their  labor,  to  the  last 
(jopper  and  farthing.  They  were  set  to  making  tar  and 
raising  hemp,  whereby  the  English  government  no  longer 
had  need  to  import  these  indispensable  commodities  from 
foreign  countries  for  the  navy.  The  provisioning  of  the 
Palatines,  entrusted  to  the  worthless  speculator,  Robert 
Livingstone,  became  so  bad  as  time  went  on,  and  the  op- 
pression became  so  unbearable,  that  finally  the  people 
re;^used  to  work  longer. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  23 


They  determined  to  flee  to  the  valley  of  the  Schoharie, 
a  stream  flowing  into  the  Mohawk  River,  where  lived  sev- 
eral Indian  chiefs,  who,  during  a  visit  to  London,  had  seen 
the  Palatines  in  their  distress,  and  had  offered  them  enough 
land  for  their  needs.  Now  they  remembered  this  offer, 
and  sought  permission  through  an  ambassador  to  settli 
upon  the  territory  of  the  Indians.  When  this  was  willingly 
granted,  and  the  chiefs  had  again  expressly  proffered  the 
donation,  the  Palatines,  in  March  of  the  year  1713,  despite 
all  the  opposition  of  the  Enghsh  governor,  who  sought  to 
profit  by  the  poor  people  still  further,  set  out  upon  their 
journey  to  Schoharie  Valley.  The  journey  occupied  four- 
teen days,  and  was  rendered  more  difficult  for  this  reason, 
that  they  had  no  sort  of  draught-animals,  and  no  wagons,  to 
transport  the  baggage,  the  women,  the  children,  and  the 
sick.  All  their  property  had  to  be  carried  on  the  back; 
moreover,  far  and  wide  lay  a  deep  snow,  which  made  rapid 
progress  impossible.  When  finally  the  poor  wanderers 
came  into  the  beautiful  valley,  they  had  nothing  to  live  on. 
They  would  undoubtedly  have  starved,  had  not  the  Indians 
taken  pitj  on  them,  and  provided  them  with  game  until 
spring. 

Hardly  ever  were  settlements  begun  under  more  difficult 
circumstances  than  that  of  the  Palatines  in  the  Schoharie 
Valley.  There  they  had  no  plows,  so  they  tore  up  the  earth 
with  sickles  and  sowed  in  these  rough  furrows  the  bushel 
of  corn  which  they  bought  with  their  last  money  in  the  little 
town  of  Schenectady,  30  kilometers  [between  18  and  19 
miles]  distant.  The  houses  they  constructed  out  of  rough 
tree-trunks,  and  made  clothing  and  headgear  out  of  the 
skins  of  animals  killed  by  the  Indians.  Thus  the  poor 
creatures  dragged  along  till  autumn,  when  their  first  harvest 
yielded  83  bushels.  This  produced  grain  they  pounded  upon 
stones  for  want  of  a  mill.  Already  in  the  next  summer  the 
settlements   began   to  win  a  more  comfortable  existance. 


24  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


Seven  small  villages  were  established,  named  after  the 
Palatines'  guides:  Weisertown,  Hartmannstown,  Brunnen- 
town,  Schmidstown,  Fuchstown,  Gerlachstown,  and  Kneis- 
kerntown,  of  which  the  last  named,  as  also  Hartmanns- 
town, stands  yet  today.  The  builders  of  these  villages 
began  even  to  look  forward  full  of  hope  for  the  future, 
when  as  a  thunderclap  the  news  came  that  Governor  Hun- 
ter, on  the  3d  of  November,  1714,  had  transferred  the  land 
settled  by  the  Palatines  to  seven  English  speculators,  with 
whom  the  Palatines  must  come  to  terms  by  one  method  or 
another. 

That  the  latter  held  the  land  by  gift  from  the  Indians, 
and  that  they  had  full  title  to  the  same  by  the  colonial-right, 
which  concedes  possession  to  the  first  settler — about  this 
Hunter  did  not  trouble  himself  at  all.  He  continued  so  to 
annoy  the  Palatines  through  all  sorts  of  unfair  proceedings, 
that  finally  the  majority  resolved  to  emigrate  once  more. 
Only  a  few  came  to  an  agreement  to  make  a  lease  of  the 
speculators  or  to  pay  them  purchase  money.  The  remain- 
ing settlers  moved,  part  under  John  Weiser  to  Pennsyl- 
vania, where  on  the  Susquehannah  they  built  up  a  flourish- 
ing new  commonwealth,  the  place  Heidelberg;  part  moved 
into  the  valley  of  the  Mohawk  where,  in  conjunction  with 
other  fellow-countrymen,  they  established  the  district  of 
Little  Falls  in  the  year  1721,  and  later  Palatine  Bridge, 
Palatine  Church,  Canajoharie,  Frankfurt,  the  German  Flats, 
Oppenheim,  Manheim,  and  other  towns.  Through  the  very 
profitable  barter  with  the  Indians,  many  of  the  Palatines  in 
these  districts  attained  to  great  wealth. 

The  emigration  to  North  America  assumed,  as  may  be 
seen  from  manuscript  communications,  especially  about  the 
middle  of  the  18th  century,  a  great  volume.  In  the  year 
1749  twenty-five  ships  with  7049  Germans  landed  at  Phila- 
delphia alone.  During  the  time  from  1750  to  1752  over 
18,000  are  said  to  have  arrived.     Especially  strong  was  the 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  25 


exodus  in  the  year  1759,  when  nominally  22,000  Palatines, 
Eadensians,  and  Wurtembergers  set  foot  on  the  soil  of  the 
New  World  at  Philadelphia.  [This  statement  as  to  the 
large  nnmber  of  immigrants  in  1759  is  evidently  erroneous, 
ior  German  immigration  was  practically  suspended  from 
1756  to  1761,  during  the  French  and  Indian  War.]  Among 
the  Englishmen  dwelling  in  the  English  colonies,  the  great 
number  of  Germans  coming  in  every  year  infused  for  a 
time  a  downright  uneasiness.  Already  in  the  year  1727 
they  desired  the  government  to  put  a  check  upon  German 
immigration,  lest  otherwise  the  Germans  might  gain  the 
preponderance  and  make  the  colonies  of  the  English  crown 
alienate.  "The  Germans  are  coming,^'  so  it  reads  in  the 
letter  of  an  Englishman  to  the  government,  descended  from 
the  year  1755,  "in  such  strength,  that  they  can  soon  be  in  a 
position   to  give  us  laws  and  language  into  the  bargain." 

THE    REDEMPTIONERS    AND   THE  ORIGIN   OF   GERMAN 
ASSOCIATIONS. 

It  cannot  fail  to  appear  that  the  rapidly  increasing  emi- 
gration to  America  would  very  soon  of  necessity  produce 
unfortunate  conditions  of  every  kind.  The  means  of 
transportation  at  that  time  were  thoroughly  inadequate  to 
the  demands  made  upon  them.  The  number  of  ships 
fitted  for  transporting  large  numbers  of  people  was  very 
small,  and  their  interior  equipment  left  well-nigh  every- 
thing to  be  desired.  Emigration  officers  who  concerned  them- 
selves about  the  safe  progress  and  appropriate  maintenance  ■ 
of  the  emigrants  were  unknown.  The  whole  concern  about 
the  latter  things  lay  exclusively  in  the  hands  of  the  Dutch 
and  English  ship-owners,  who  owed  responsibility  to  no  one. 

But  who  were  these  ship-owners?  Many  of  them  had 
acquired  their  wealth  in  the  traffic  with  negro  slaves, 
which  through  robbery  or  barter  they  had  obtamed  on  the 
shores  of  Africa  and  had  brought  to  the  European  colonies 


26  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 

established  in  America.  When  the  opportunity  offered 
itself  these  ship-owners  and  their  captains  did  not  at  all 
hesitate  to  turn  their  attention  to  piracy.  As  to  the  moral 
principles  of  these  g'entlemen,  the  case  therefore  stands 
decidedly  bad,  so  that  it  is  not  particularly  remarkable 
when  we  see  these  traders  in  black  human  flesh  gradually 
extend  their  operations  to  a  traffic  in  white  human  flesh  also. 

To  that  end  the  constantly  increasing"  mania  for  emi- 
gration offered  the  most  excellent  opportunity.  Intelligent 
utilization  of  this  opportunity  made  it  needless  to  sail  to 
Guinea  and  risk  their  lives  by  the  forcible  seizure  of  slaves; 
for  the  white  slaves  rushed  voluntarily  into  the  net  of  these 
dealers  in  men.  As  a  bait  there  served  a  method,  which  had 
not  merely  the  advantage  of  simplicity  of  nature,  but  also 
bore  deceptively  the  mark  of  the  benevolent  purpose,  of 
noble-minded  assistance,  on  its  face.  Under  the  pretext  of 
being  helpful  to  those  persons  desirous  of  emigrating, 
whose  means  was  not  sufficient,  the  ship-owners  offered  to 
furnish  them  with  passage  over  at  once,  and  to  take  instead 
of  the  cash  payment  a  bond,  by  which  arrangement  they 
would  be  able  in  America  to  discharge  their  indebtedness 
by  labor  performed. 

From  such  relations  concluded  with  the  emigrants  there 
accrued  to  the  ship-owners  so  handsome  a  profit,  tliat  they 
staked  everything  upon  it,  to  bring  the  emigration  move- 
ment still  more  to  a  flood.  To  this  end  they  gave  out  not 
only  the  most  exaggerated  descriptions  of  the  advantages 
of  America,  but  they  also  sent  recruiting  officers  into  those 
lands  which  produced  emigrants  the  more  readily.  For 
this  purpose  they  selected  persons  who  already  had  been  in 
America  and  were  of  influence,  to  give  information  to  those 
who  were  anxious  to  seek  their  fortune  there.  They  did 
this  naturally,  because  they  set  forth  the  prevailing  condi- 
tions in  the  colonies  of  the  New  World  in  the  rosiest  light. 
Each  servant  boy  was  himself  to  be  a  master,  each  maid  a 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  27 


gracious  mistress,  the  peasant  a  nobleman,  the  townsman 
a  count.  Money  could  be  earned  in  heaps;  the  laws  as  also 
the  government,  were  made  only  in  conformity  with  good 
opinion.  In  this  manner  the  handsomely  dressed  gentle- 
men, with  gold  chains,  watches,  and  rings  displayed,  and 
traveling  in  stately  coaches  from  village,  from  town  to 
town,  with  trains  of  attendants,  succeeded  in  stimulating 
yet  more  the  existing  disposition  among  the  poor  people  to 
replace  their  prevailingly  unfortunate  circumstances  with 
better,  indeed  with  splendid,  ones.  The  homely  people  be- 
lieved the  fine  gentlemen,  who  so  well  understood  how  to 
talk,  simply  in  everything  they  said;  they  believed  that 
every  man  in  America  could  be  his  own  master,  have  land 
in  abundance,  and  that  in  a  short  time,  with  only  ordinary 
diligence,  it  would  necessarily  bring  him  to  a  state  of  exis- 
tence such  as  in  Germany  it  would  be  permitted  only  to  a 
nobleman  to  enjoy.  If  they  were  not  able  to  pay  their  pas- 
sage immediately,  that,  so  declared  the  dragnet-men, 
should  be  no  hindrance.  The  ship-master  would  defray  it 
all — yes,  he  was  ready,  moreover,  to  give  in  advance  the 
cost  of  their  maintenance,  as  well  as  anything  else  becoming 
necassary.  Through  such  skillful  misrepresentations,  thous- 
ands upon  thousands  of  the  poor,  deluded  people  let  them- 
selves be  inveigled  into  signing  the  contracts  laid  before 
them  by  the  emigration  agents,  only  to  find  out  later  that 
they  had  fallen  victims  to  unprincipled  scoundrels,  and  that 
they  must  purchase  the  thing  received  with  an  immensely 
dear  value  in  return — with  the  best  years  of  their  life. 

The  first  rude  awakenings  were  awaiting  them  already 
in  the  shipping-ports,  where  their  sojourn  was  protracted 
through  all  sorts  of  pretexts,  till  those  emigrants  who  had 
money  had  spent  the  bulk  of  it  at  the  inns,  whose  owners 
were  in  collusion  with  the  ship-owners.  Then,  for  the  un- 
fortunate ones,  there  was  no  other  way  except  the 
eno-agement   given  to  the  ship-owners,    to    discharge    by 


TS  HTSTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILT 


means  of  labor  all  expense  that  might  accrue  through  their 
maintenance  during  their  passage  over. 

When  the  contrax:±  was  sealed,  they  finally  went  aboard , 
where,  with  people  jammed  in  between  decks  ^  the  condition 
of  things  was  so'  horrible ,  that  the  present-day  steerage  pas- 
sengers to  America  can  form  no'  idea  of  it.  From  all  of  the 
desci-iptions  of  that  time  that  have  come  down  tO'  us,  sounds' 
out  the  indictm:ent  that  the  emigrants  ''  were  so  densely 
crowded,  together  that  one  sick  person  had  to  inhale  the 
breath  of  another,  and  because  of  the  stench,  filth,  and  lack 
of  food,  there  sprang  up  among  them  scurvy,  yellow  fever, 
dysentery,  and  other  infectious  diseases." 

In  what  horrible  manner  the  Dittch  captains  burdened 
their  ships  with  this  human  freight,  w^ill  appear  from  an 
example — the  ship  '^'  April, ^'  under  command  of  Captain  de 
Groot,  which  sailed  to  America  with  emigrants  in  the  year 
1818.  Although  it  had  room  for  only  400  persons,  it  had 
taken  on  board  1200,  of  whom  115  died  already  in  the  har- 
bor of  Amsterdam,  while  300  had  to  be  taken  back  into  the 
hospital.  The  sea-voyage  was  always  long — extraordinarily 
long,  according  to  our  notions  of  to-day,  and  lasted  at  least 
as  many  weeks  as  days  are  required  at  present.  Once  in  a 
while  it  came  to  pass  that  ships  required  several  months  for 
the  voyage  ;  so  it  was  in  the  year  1752,  when  one  ship  was 
upon  the  sea  17  weeks,  another  24  weeks. 

The  food  was  as  bad  as  possible.  Oftentimes  the  cap- 
tains, under  the  pretext  that  they  must  guard  against  the 
danger  of  a  famine,  allowed,  from  the  day  of  the  start,  only 
half-rations  tO'  be  issued,  and  these,  moreover,  were  of  the 
worst  sort.  They  gave  for  the  most  part  only  bread  with 
salt  meat.  The  schoolmaster,  Gottlieb  Mittelberger,  who 
in  the  year  1750  went  to  Pennsylvania,  and  who  wrote  con- 
cerning his  journey  a  book  of  travel  published  in  the  year 
1756  at  Frankfurt-on-the-Main,  said  therein:  "One  can 
hardly  eat  such  food  at  all.     The  water,  as  they  deal  it  out, 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  29 


is  oftentimes  quite  black,  thick,  and  full  of  worms,  so  that 
one,  even  with  the  greatest  thirst,  can  hardly  drink  it  with- 
out disgust.  The  biscuits,  or  ship's  bread,  one  is  obliged 
to  eat,  although  on  a  whole  piece  hardly  a  place  the  size  of 
a  dollar  was  good,  that  had  not  been  filled  with  little  red 
worms  and  spider-webs."  In  consequence  of  the  over- 
crowding of  the  ships  and  the  bad  food,  the  death-rate 
among  the  emigrants  was  always  very  high.  Children 
under  seven  years  hardly  ever  stood  the  journey. 

In  the  year  1775  there  came  a  ship  into  Philadelphia, 
of  whose  400  passengers  not  more  than  50  were  believed  to 
be  alive,  Henry  Keppeles,  afterwards  the  first  president 
of  the  German  Society  of  Pennsylvania,  relates  in  his  day- 
book that  of  312  wayfarers  250  perished.  The  mortality  of 
those  who  had  arrived  in  a  number  of  ships  coming  to  Phil- 
adelphia in  the  year  1758,  was  estimated  at  about  2,000 
persons  [Some  other  year  is  likely  referred  to  here,  since 
it  is  not  at  all  probably  that  as  many  as  2,000  immigrants 
in  all  landed  in  1758.] 

And  to  what  acts  of  brutality  were  the  travelers  ex- 
posed occasionally  from  the  part  of  the  crew  and  the  cap- 
tain! A  Dutch  captain  touched  at  England  and  sold  40 
stout  fellows  as  recruits  to  an  English  recruiting-officer; 
another  brought  his  passangers,  instead  of  to  Philadelphia, 
to  the  slave  State  of  Deleware,  and  sold  in  New  Castle  his 
load  as  slaves.  If  emigrants  died  during  the  voyage,  the 
captain  and  the  sailors  claimed  as  their  own  the  prop- 
erty they  left.  All  medical  and  other  service  claimed 
by  the  travelers  were  charged  up  to  them  at  an  exorbitant 
price,  so  that  by  the  end  of  the  voyage  the  indebtedness 
of  the  wayfarers  would  reach  the  highest  possible  amcumt. 
For  the  passage  over,  from  six  to  ten  Louisdor  [horn 
$30  to  $50]  were  charged  at  first;  later,  from  14  to  17 
[from  $70  to  $85]. 

At  any  rate,  in  conformity  with  the  amount  of  the  debt 


30  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


and  in  conformity  with  the  physical  condition  of  the  immi- 
grant, was  adjusted  the  period  of  his  service  to  whomsoever 
he  had  to  discharge  his  indebtedness.  That  thereby  the  value 
of  his  labor  might  be  estimated  at  the  most  extremely  low 
figure,  it  was  arranged  that  the  period  of  service  extended 
over  at  least  three  years.  For  the  loss  that  would  accrue  to 
the  ship-owners  through  the  dropping  out  of  dead  passen- 
gers, their  available  relatives,  or  in(^eed  the  whole  company 
traveling  together,  had  to  become  responsible  to  such  a 
degree  that  the  time  of  service  which  would  have  had  to  be 
fulfilled  by  the  deceased,  would  be  assumed  by  the  survivors 
of  the  company.  Children  had  thus  to-  become  responsible 
for  their  parents,  parents  for  their  children,  and  travelers 
for  those  with  whom  they  traveled.  What  an  extension  of 
of  the  year  service  this  arrangement  frequently  meant,  one 
may  judge  from  the  fact  that  in  the  year  1752  fifty  persons, 
which  came  to  Philadelphia  in  a  Dutch  ship,  were  put  in 
prison  until  they  agreed  to  make  good  the  time  of  service  of 
more  than  one  hundred  fellow-travelers  who  had  died  on 
the  way  of  hunger  and  ship's-colic. 

It  gave  the  captains  no  trouble,  at  the  places  of  landing, 
to  turn  their  promissory  notes  and  contracts  closed  with  the 
so-called  redemptioners,  i.  e.,  chattels,  into  ready  money; 
for  the  redemptioners  furnished  such  an  extraordinarily 
cheap  means  of  service  that  the  English  colonists  pressed 
forward,  accordingly,  in  throngs,  in  order  to  come  into  pos- 
session of  them.  The  business  was  carried  on  in  the  fol- 
lowing manner.  When  a  ship  loaded  with  emigrants  arrived 
in  the  harber,  the  captain  published  an  announcement  of 
the  fact  in  the  newspapers,  one  of  which  advertisements, 
from  the  Baltimore  Americcui  of  February  8,  1817,  we  give 
as  an  example  : 

"German  Redemptioners!  The  Dutch  ship,  Ju/vronw 
Johanna,  captain,  H.  H.  Bleeker,  has  arrived  from  Amster- 
dam with  a  multitude  of  farmers,  day-laborers,  and  artisans. 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  31 


who  shall  be  sold  for  the  stipulated  period  allotted  to  each. 
There  are  men  as  well  as  women,  also  a  few  fine-looking 
boys  and  girls.  Those  persons  who  wish  to  provide  them- 
selves with  good  servants  are  invited  to  apply  to  the  ship- 
master or  to  the  captain." 

When  the  purchasers  came  on  board,  it  was  possibly 
not  permitted  to  the  immigrants  either  to  select  their  mas- 
ters or  to  state  their  preferences  concerning  the  work  to  be 
done.  Moreover,  the  members  of  a  family  dared  not  take 
exception  to  a  separation  from  one  another,  whereby  it  very 
often  came  to  pass  that  the  husband  from  the  wife,  the  chil- 
dren from  the  parents  were  parted  for  years,  many  times, 
indeed,  for  ever.  When  the  purchaser  had  paid  the  captain 
the  accumulated  debt  of  a  redemptioner,  the  person  bought 
had  to  follow  his  new  master  and  serve  him  as  a  bond-slave 
till  the  expiration  of  his  period  of  service.  If  the  master 
became  tired  of  him,  or  for  any  reason  at  all  did  not  need 
his  services  any  longer,  he  was  altogether  at  liberty  to  hire 
out  the  redemptioner  elsewhere  or  to  sell  him.  This  was 
accomplished  either  through  advertisem.ents  in  the  news- 
papers or  upon  the  "Vendu,"  the  block,  where  slaves,  cat- 
tle, and  other  property  were  sold.  For  example:  "For 
sale,  the  time  of  service  of  a  German  bound  girl  (bound  to 
service).  She  is  a  strong,  fresh,  and  healthy  wench.  Has 
yet  five  years  to  serve." 

Through  ingenious  resellings,  those  sold  held  no  copies 
of  their  former  contracts;  accordingly,  therefore,  there  fol- 
lowed no  legal  evidence,  so  the  astonished  folk  found  them- 
selves entirely  in  the  hands  of  their  new  owners,  who  in 
consequence  had  it  in  their  power  to  extend  the  time  of  ser- 
vice of  the  redemptioner  beyond  the  proper  limit;  for,  in  case 
of  a  difference  of  opinion  concerning  the  term  of  service  he 
was  bound  for,  the  redemptioner  was  exactly  upon  an 
equality  with  the  negro  slave,  in  his  lack  of  legal  standing. 
Without  the  permission  of  his  master,  he  dared  neither  .«cll 


32  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 

nor  buy  anything-.  If  he  was  found  16  kilometers  [about 
10  miles]  distance  from  the  dwelling  of  his  owner,  without 
written  permission,  this  was  regarded  as  an  attempt  at 
flight,  and  he  would  incur  severe  corporeal  punishment. 
Persons  who  sheltered  fleeing  redemptioners,  or  were  help- 
ful to  them  in  their  flight,  had  to  pay  a  penalty  of  500  pounds 
of  tobacco  for  every  24  hours  of  aid  afforded.  If  they  were 
accomplices  unwitting^ly,  they  were  threatened  with  the 
whipping-post.  Whoever  caught  a  runaway  redemptioner 
got  a  reward  of  200  pounds  of  tobacco,  later,  a  sum  of 
money  amounting  to  50  dollars.  Redemptioners  recovered 
after  flight  would  not  only  have  added  to  their  time  of  service 
ten  full  days  for  each  day  of  their  absence,  but  they  would 
often  be  frightfully  mistreated  besides.  For  their  owners 
possessed  the  full  privilege  to  punish  every  mistake  with 
lashes  of  the  whip.  Of  this  privilege  many  of  the  brutal 
slave-holders  made  such  an  immoderate  abuse,  that  a  law 
had  to  be  proclaimed  whereby  for  each  offence  not  more 
than  ten  lashes  should  be  given. 

The  lot  of  the  different  redemptioners  varied  with  the 
variety  of  human  nature.  Many  had  a  good  time,  many  a 
very  hard  one,  especially  if  they  fell  into  the  hands  of  people 
who,  out  of  the  basest  selfishness,  strove  to  use  up  the 
strength  of  the  redemptioner  as  much  as  possible.  In  such 
cases  he  would  be  burdened  with  labor  to  the  lowest  point 
of  exhaustion,  while  the  negro,  engaged  in  the  same  ser- 
vice, would  be  spared;  for  the  latter,  forsooth,  was  in  bond- 
age for  his  whole  life,  and  had  to  be  kept  able  to  work. 

With  female  redemptioners,  on  the  other  hand,  the 
slave-holders  allowed  themselves  not  infrequently  to  become 
guilty  of  abominable  outrages.  To  that  end  the  laws  of 
the  English  colonies  once  in  a  while  gave  outright  assist- 
ance. In  Maryland,  for  example,  there  was  passed  in  the 
year  1663  a  law  according  to  which  white  girls  and  women, 
who  entered  into  the  marriage  relation  with  negroes  or  mu-

lattoes,  together  with  the  children  resulting  from  such  an 
alliance.,  became  the  property  of  the  owner  of  the  negro  or 
mulatto  in  question. 

The  object  of  the  law  was  to  restrain  white  women  from 
contracting  marriage  with  persons  of  color.  This  law,  how- 
cver,  worthless  slave-holders  turned  to  profit,  in  that  they 
induced  white  female  redemptioners,  whose  time  of  service 
they  had  acquired,  into  union  with  negroes,  either  by 
threatening,  trickery,  or  force;  whereby  the  slave-holder 
obtained  full  right  of  possession  not  only  over  the  white 
victim,  but  also  over  the  children.  The  abrogation  of  this 
law,  which  gave  full  support  to  the  villainy,  was  first  set  on 
foot  through  a  most  unusual  occurrence.  Lord  Baltimore, 
the  founder  and  proprietor  of  the  Maryland  colony,  had, 
when  he  visited  his  colony  in  the  year  1681,  among  his 
domestics  a  girl,  "Nellie,"  who  was  bound  to  pay  the  cost  of 
her  passage  over  by  her  labor  as  a  servant.  Before  tht 
stipulated  time  was  out,  J^ord  Baltimore  went  back  to  Eng- 
land, but  he  sold  beforehand  the  rest  of  Nellie\s  time  of 
service  to  a  country-man  located  in  the  colony,  who,  after 
two  months,  coupled  Nellie  with  one  of  his  negro  slaves, 
and  thereby  obtained  permanent  possession  over  her. 

When  Lord  Baltimore  learned  of  the  oc\:urrence,  he  of 
course  brought  about  the  abrogation  of  the  law  of  the  year 
1663,  but  he  was  not  able  to  procure  freedom  for  his  former 
servant-girl  or  for  the  two  children  born  to  her.  The  courts 
were  engaged  with  this  case  a  long  time,  but  in  the  year 
1721  they  came  to  the  decision  that  Nellie  and  her  children 
must  remain  slaves,  since  the  marriage  of  the  former  and 
the  birth  of  the  latter  took  place  before  the  repeal  of  the 
law  of  the  year  1663. 

Many  similar  cases  finally  aroused  the  feelings  of  the 
Germans  located  in  the  English  colonies  to  such  an  extent 
that  they,  indignant  over  the  treatment  which  was  accorded 
to  their  fellow-countrymen,  banded  themselves  together  in

societies,  the  object  of  which,  consisted  in  the  abolition  of 
the  frig'htful  traffic  in  humanity.  One  may  very  appropri- 
ately denominate  these  societies,  enduring'  still  today,  as 
the  forerunners  of  the  present  day  legislation  regarding  im- 
migrants, since  it  was  they  that  brought  about  not  only  the 
abolition  of  the  redempti oner-state,  but  also  the  more 
humane  treatment  of  emigrants  on  the  ships  and  in  the  port 
towns.  To  them  is  due,  therefore,  the  hearty  thanks  of 
those  many  millions  of  people  to  whom  the  fruits  of  their 
toilsome  exertions  have  resulted  so  happily. ' ' 

The  second  son  of  Johann  Georg  Hiitwohl  and  Anna 
Sophia  nee  Andrea  is  Johann  Peter  Hiitwohl,  who  was  born

February  7,  1690.  From  this  marriage  sprang  four  chil- 
dren, two  boys  and  two  girls,  whose  names  were  Anna 
Regina,  Johann  Paulus,  Johann  Henrich,  and  Christina 
Elisabetha  Hiitwol.  Margaretha  Ursula  nee  Eicher  died  in 
the  year  1717.  On  February  22,  1718,  Johann  Peter  Hiit-

He,  the  race  representative ^  was  bom  March  15,  1698.  He 
married  Sophie  Margaretha  nee  Schmpp  of  Manubach, 
January  10,  1719.  The  latter  died  at  the  age  of  53  years 
and  2  m,onths,  on  |nly  5,  1753. 

Her  husband  followed  her  in  death  on  December  15^ 
1759.  At  a  certain  period  of  his  life  johann  Henrich  Hiit- 
wohl  occupied  the  office  of  an  assistant  judge;  besides,  he 
was  sexton  in  Steeg. 

The  second  daughter  of  Johann  Peter  Hutwohl  and 
Margaretha  Ursula  nee  Eicher  was  Christina  Elisabetha 
Hutwohl,  bom  August  3,  1700. 

The  race  representative,  Johann  Henrich  H  lit  wohl,  and 
Sophia  Margaretha  nee  Schrupp  of  Manubach  were  blessed 
with  eight  children,  four  boys  and  four  girls. 

The  oldest  child  was  a  daughter,  Anna  Katharina  Hut- 
wohl, bom  April  1,  1720;  died  March  27,  1722. 

The  second-oldest  daughter,  Christina  Elisabeth  Hiit- 
wohl,  was  bom  September  1,  1721. 

Here  followed  twins,  Johann  Peter  Hiitwohl  and 
Anna  Regina  Hutwohl,  bom  September  10,1723.  Johann 
Peter  Hiitwohl  married  Christina  Margaretha  nee  Fischer, 
in  the  year  1755.  Her  father  was  a  landlord  at  "The 
Lion,"  inBacharach.  In  the  year  1757  Johann  Peter  Hiit- 
wohl was  appointed  field-guard.  Anna  Regina  Hutwohl 
was  not  even  a  year  old.     She  died  July  7,  1724. 

The  fourth  daughter  of  Johann  Henrich  Hutwohl  was 
Katharina  Elisabeth  Hutwohl,  She  was  bom  August  19, 
1725,  and  died  as  early  as  August  25th  of  the  same  year. 

On  July  5,  1726,  was  bom  the  second  of  Johann  Hen- 
rich Hutwohl  and  Sophie  Margaretha  Schrupp,  Johann 
Daniel  Hutwohl.  He  married,  in  Sobemheim,  on  July  13, 
1752,  Anna  Magdalena  nee  Kusz,  of  Sobemheim.  At  the 
time  of  his  marriage  he  was  burgo-master.  Johann 
Daniel  Hiitwohl  kept  a  journal,    in    which  he   described 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  37 


the  current  events  of  his  time.  His  notes  on  the  Seven 
Years  War  are  interesting  to  read.  Each  year  he  closed 
with  a  devout  wish.  The  most  important  entries  from  the 
journal  are  the  following: 

1750  was  throughout  a  year  of  rough  weather.  In 
June  there  was  snow. lying  on  the  mountains.  Especially 
did  the  wheat,  which  at  that  time  already  was  in  blossom, 
suffer  great  injury  in  the  milk-period,  so  that  from  100 
bundles  were  threshed  at  the  highest  from  3  to  3  3^  measures 
of  grain.  Johann  Daniel  Hiitwohl  had  this  year  only  two 
loads  of  white  wine  and  an  a  am  [about  40  gallons]  of  red 
wine  in  the  cellar. 

"1752.  On  the  12th  of  March,  toward  evening,  a  fire 
shot  out  of  the  heavens,  resembling  a  crown  drawing  after 
it  a  pale  train,  so  that,  those  who  saw  it  thought  it  must 
then  and  there  have  fallen  upon  the  earth,  yet  it  was  not 
so.     (Comet.) 

1752  was  a  good  wine  year.  In  the  first  half  of  the  year 
the  weather  was  warm,  so  that  the  blossoms  came  out 
especially  fine.  In  the  second  half  of  the  year  there  were^ 
frequent  warm  rains,  so  that  the  vine  kept  unusually  rank, 
and  in  consequence  Johann  Daniel  Hiitwohl  was  able  to  put 
away  four  loads  of  white  wine— twice  as  much  as  two  years 

before. 

The  year  1753  was  also  a  right  favorable  wine  year. 
September  set  in  much  the  same  as  the  preceding  months, 
with  warm  sunshine  throughout,  without  giving  any  rain, 
according  as  one  earnestly  desired.  October  then  gave  a 
good  warm  rain,  so  that  the  clusters  became  quite  full  and 
mature.  Although  the  wine  left  nothing  to  be  desired  as  to 
quality,  yet  more^than  half  of  it  remained  on  hands.  The 
reason  lay  in  this,  that  the  Dutch  merchants  for  some  years 
past  no  more  had  access  to  the  wine  of  Steeg,  as  formerly. 
The  aforesaid  merchants  had  the  right,  with  the  Lower 
Valleys  and  the  Upper  Valleys,  to  fix  the  price  of  wme;  ac- 


38  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


cordingly,  they  controlled  practically  all  of  the  wine.  In  the 
year  1739  the  Hollanders  stopped  buying  wine  from  these  sec- 
tions, because  the  selfsame  districts  laid  a  very  heavy  toll 
upon  the  Rhenish  wines,  while  the  French  wines  went  free. 

In  the  year  1754,  andmore  particularly,  in  the  month  of 
September,  his  Electoral  Highness  gave  permission  for  a 
new  road  to  be  laid  out  from  Holzthor  to  Bacharach,  up  to- 
wards Nauheim,  from  there  by  the  ruined  Bacharach  castle, 
and  so  further  upon  the  mountain.  (Alte  Chausse.j  The 
work  on  the  new  road  was  undertaken  again  this  spring, 
with  energy,  and  was  carried  on  for  the  whole  summer,  to 
the  end  of  the  year.  However,  upon  the  mountain  the  sub- 
jects of  the  High  Bailiff  of  Steeg,  by  order  of  his  most  gra- 
cious lordship,  have  altogether  at  their  own  expense  carried 
the  road  forward  to  the  Simmern  boundary.  This  road 
has  already  cost  an  enormous  amount  of  labor,  and  will  yet  re- 
quire very  much  work.  The  municipality  had  a  public-road 
section,  of  202  rods  from  Dichtelbach  on  to  the  Simmern 
boundary,  assigned  to  it  for  working,  by  the  government 
office.  Because  the  section  was  judged  to  be  at  this  time  too 
far  distant  from  the  municipality,  they  have  deemed  it  best 
to  auction  off  the  work  to  the  lowest  bidder.  But  the  muni- 
cipality has  found  more  work  than  it  had  assigned  it  be- 
fore, and  therefore  has  suffered  an  evident  loss. 

For  the  defraying  of  the  cost,  therefore,  the  sheep-run 
was  leased  for  four  years  to  the  forester,  Lebersorg,  of 
Bacharach.  Johann  Daniel  Hiitwohl  is  of  the  opinion  that, 
whether  the  cattle  and  the  people  of  the  community  shall 
reap  profit  thereby,  time  must  show;  it  is  not  done  with  his 
will,  and  for  the  evil  results  which  they  hereby  may  have 
drawn  upon  themselves  he  is  not  responsible. 

In  the  year  1757  the  burgomaster,  Johann  Daniel 
Hiitwohl,  put  the  young  men  of  the  town  under  bond. 
They  must  provide  leather  buckets  for  the  putting  out  of 
fire.     Formerly  they   had  also  to  provide  a  cask    of   wane.

wohl  and  Anna  Magdalena  nee  Kusz  was  Friedrich  Peter 
Hiitwolil,  born  January  6,  1760.  Friedrich  Peter  Hiitwohl 
moved  from  Steeg  to  Kirchberg,  and  thus  became  the  race- 
father  of  the  Kirchberg  line.  On  April  8,  1788,  Friedrich 
Peter  Hiitwohl  married  the  butcher's  daughter,  Katharina 
Elisabethe  Schneider,  also  an  inhabitant  of  Kirchberg. 
Their  marriage  was  blessed  with  seven  children,  5  boys  and

Fuchsz  was  born  April  12,  1812;  married  Ludwig  Fuchsz  in 
the  year  1833;  and  died  February  28,  1863. 

The  oldest  son  of  Friedrich  Peter  Hiitwohl  and  Kath-

wohl. He  was  born  September  4,  1791;  married  Karoline 
Wiillenweber  May  2,  1815;  and  died  in  the  year  1871,  in

died  February  3,  1877,  at  the  ag'e  of  72  years.  He  was  in 
his  ioumeyman-years,  with  his  uncle  in  Bremen,  and  had 
from  him  a  silver  watch  as  a  gift.  The  name  of  this  uncle 
cannot  be  definitely  fixed;  but  it  was  likely  Johann  Gabriel 
Hiitwohl  or  Johann  Daniel  Hiitwohl,  sons  of  Burgomaster 
Johann  Daniel  Hiitwohl  and  his  wife  Anna  Magdalina  nee 
Kiisz.  This  uncle  of  Bremen  was  an  "orphan-father"  and 
died  without  children,  Franz  Hiitwohl  and  Wilhelmine

1850  [I860?].  There  he,  on  account  of  the  war,  found  no 
work — he  was  a  paper-hanger  and  upholsterer;  and  he  went 
to  sea  as  a  sailor.  No  one  heard  from  him  for  a  period 
of  eleven  years,  till  he  was  First-pilot  on  an  East-Indiaman, 
and  had  passed  his  examination  for  captain.     He   wrote   in 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  45 


the  beginning-  of  the  sixties  from  London  that  he,  in  the 
whole  period,  had  neither  heard  German  nor  spoken  it  him- 
self, till  he,  at  the  international  exhibition  in  London,  had 
heard  German,  and  thereby  had  become  homesick.  The 
court-commissioner  Krieger,  of  Zabern,  his  brother-in-law, 
had  also  resided  in  America  several  years  (from  1866  to 
1871),  but  never  learned  from  him  that  he  had  married. 
His  mother,  Wilhelmine  Friederike  nee  Fey,  was  of  the  opin- 
ion, however,  that  he  had  a  wife  in  England.  She  knew  noth- 
ing more  definite  thereof,  since  he  was  usually  not  a  com- 
municative person  regarding  his  past.  She  imagined  this, 
however,  because  he,  in  one  of  his  letters,  dated  at  London 
in  the  early  sixties,  wrote  that  his  wife-that-was-to-be  was 
named  Karoline  Sulivan,  and  that  she  lived  at  11  Wells 
Place,  Leman  Street,  Whitechapel,  London;  that  his  letters 
should  be  addressed  to  that  place;  that  they  would  then  be 
forwarded  to  him  in  whatever  part  of  the  world  he  might  be. 
He  was  manager  for  a  ship-owner  of  Boston  or  Baltimore, 
and  died  in  New  York,  December  16,  1874,  in  his  43d  year.

of  19  years,  11  months,  and  17  days,  Maria  Katharina  nee 
Prasz,  who  was  born  March  23,  1822,  and  who,  at  the  time 
of  her  wedding,  was  20  years,  9  months,  and  16  days  old. 

He  had  been  brought  up  for  the  trade  of  cooperage, 
already  followed  by  his  ancestors  in  his  father's  house;  and 
had  served  his  apprenticeship  from  September  8,  1839,  to 
September  8,  1841,  in  Bacharach. 

After  taking  possession  of  the  ancestral  residence,  June 
1,  1855,  he  conducted  also  the  associated  brewery  and  busi- 
ness of  inn-keeping.  Thoroughly  familiar  with  the  raising 
and  culture  of  vines,  he  produced  good  home-made  wines, 
which  built  up  for  his  house  a  reputation  and  celebrity 
which,  after  the  construction  of  the  Rhine  Railway  and  the 
highway  from  Bacharach  to  Hundsriick,  from  1858  to  1860, 
continued  with  unabated  vigor. 

He  succeeded  also  in  building  up  recognition  abroad 
for  the  wines  of  Steeg,  and  in  organizing  a  wine  trade,  which 
is  now  being  carried  on  by  his  sons,  Peter  and  Jacob. 

Misfortune,  alas,  did  not  pass  him  by.  On  February 
13,  1882,  a  fire  broke  out  in  a  neighboring  house,  which  laid 
the  old  ancestral  dwelling  of  the  Hiitwohls  in  ashes.  A  new 
house.  No.  35,  sprang  up  upon  the  selfsame  spot,  and  sim- 
ultaneously he  built  for  his  son  Jacob  No.  34,  adjacent.  He 
built  also  a  part  of  the  cellarage  No,  19  F. 

He  possessed  a  never- wearying  industry,  and  provided 
for  the  welfare  of  his  family,  who  will  cherish  his  memory 
always  in  honor. 

He  died  October  10,  1898,  at  the  age  of  75  years,  8  and 
one-half  months,  after  his  wife  had  preceded  him  in  death. 
May  22,  1892,  at  the  age  of  70  years  and  2  months.

toward  every  man,  most  charitable  and  obliging,  and  has

becomes  a  clergyman.  He  is,  therefore,  esteemed  and  be- 
loved by  us.     Fortunate  the  church  that  has  such  a  teacher.

And  anxiously  provided  for  its  growth, 

Whereby  it  filled  each  robust  drinker's  mouth 

With  excellent  and  stimulating  wine. 

But  most  a  vale  near  by  evoked  his  love; 

To  it  the  Rhine  gave  off  a  narrow  way; 

From  dawning  there  till  night  the  sunbeams  played, 

And  there  the  noble  wine  of  Steeg  gushed  forth. 

This  treasure,  then,  to  guard  and  safely  keep. 

Chose  Bacchus  for  himself  a  cunning  man. 

Who  in  the  culture  of  the  vine  was  skilled, 

And  faithful  also  to  discharge  a  trust. 

"Hiit  wohl,"  said  Bacchus,  garlanded  in  green, 

"Hiit    wohl"    these    clusters    and    their    world-wide 

fame; 
"Hiit  wohl"  the   mountain   in   his   sun-kissed   sheen, 
And,   "Hiit  wohl"    hencefourth    shall    be   called    thy 

name. 
And  to  thy  sons  and  theirs  I  will  insure 
This  guardianship  henceforth,  the  trust  commit, 
So  long  as  this  wine's  worth  is  not  one  whit 
Made  less — this  boon,  gift  of  a  god,  kept  pure. 
Friend  Bacchus  spake.     We  have  to-day  made  test, 
That  pure  and  without  fault  the  wine  appears; 
Wherefore  my  Steeg  be  for  a  thousand  years 
By  Hiitwohl's  sons,  by  sonship's  right,  possest.

History  of  the  Heatwole  Family 

FROM  THE 

Landing  of  the  Ancestors  of  the  Race 

UP  TO  THE  PRESENT  TIME 

BY 

D.   A.    HEATWOLE. 
(1882.) 

PREFACE. 

For  some  time  the  author  of  the  following  pages  has 
had  in  contemplation  a  brief  history  of  the  Heatwole  fam- 
ily which  has,  within  the  present  century  become  so  numer- 
ous in  Rockingham  and  adjoining  counties  in  the  state 
of  Virginia. 

The  object  of  the  writer  in  the  beginning  was  to  gather 
such  information  that  should  lead  to  a  definite  knowledge  of 
the  rise  and  progress  of  the  race  from  as  early  a  date  as 
possible  and  to  transfer  the  same  upon  the  pages  of  a  record 
book  kept  by  him  for  his  personal  satisfaction,  as  well  as  for 
profit  for  those  of  his  decendants,  who  may  look  over  its 
pages  in  future  generations. 

But,  through  the  earnest  solicitations  of  some  whose 
opinions  are  entitled  to  respect,  the  writer  has  now  consented 
to  have  the  manuscript  printed  and  put  in  pamphlet  form, 
for  distribution  among  such  of  the  progency  who  may  de- 
sire some  knowledge  or  trace  of  their  ancestry. 

Having  this  purpose  in  view,  the  writer  has  gathered 
such  information  that  he  thinks  can  be  relied  on  and  which 
he  believes  to  be  correct.  From  the  material  thus  collected 
the  following  pages  are  compiled: 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  63 


History  of  the  Heatwole  Family 

One  hundred  and  thirty  years  ago,  the  ship  Two  Bro- 
thers^ with  Thomas  Arnott  as  master  or  captain,  sailed  from 
Rotterdam  in  Holland,  and  after  having-  touched  at  Ports- 
mouth in  England,  arrived  at  Philadelphia  on  the  15th  day  of 
September,  1748,  where  she  landed  ninty-six  German  emi- 
grants, one  of  whom  was  Matheus  Hlitwohr  the  great  an- 
cestor from  whom  decended  all  thd  Heatwoles  now  so  num- 
erous in  Rockingham  county,  Virginia,  and  elsewhere. 

From  the  scraps  of  evidence  that  have  been  produced, 
it  is  believed  that  he  was  a  native  of  what  is  now  called 
Rheinish  Bavaria,  then  known  as  Poltz  or  Pholtz  (Palati- 
nate). Of  his  parentage  but  little  is  known  to  the  present 
generation,  yet  the  information  obtained  generlly  favors  the 
belief  that  his  parents  adhered  or  belonged  to  the  Lutheran 
persuasion,  and  like  most  of  the  German  emigrants  of  his, 
time  made  the  state  of  Pennsylvania  his  home.  Here  in 
the  course  of  time  he  married  a  Miss  Haas,  a  sister  of  Chris- 
tian Haas,  who  afterwards  moved  to  the  Shenandoah  Valley 
in  the  state  of  Virginia,  and  settled  permanently  near  Tur- 
leytown  in  Rcokingham  county.  He  was  the  same  Haas 
who  died  some  thirty  years  ago,  and  was  said  to  have  been 
over  one  hundred  years  of  age  at  the  time  of  his  death. 

No.  1 — First   Generation. 

Matheus  Hiitwohl,  by  his  marriage  to  Miss  Haas,  be- 
came the  father  of  six  children— David,  Jacob,  John,  Chris- 
tian, Mary  and  Anna.  These  were,  however,  soon  left  father- 
less by  the  sudden  death  of  their  parent,  which  occured  at  a 
time  when  he  was  trying  to  get  a  calf  into  the  stable.  The 
animal  refusing  to  go  in  finally  ran  off  into  the  woods.  He 
followed  it,  but  did  not  return.     Search  being  made,  he  was

found  in  a  sitting  posture,  leaning-  against  a  tree,   and  was 
dead. 

This  sad  bereavement  left  his  widow  with  six  small 
children  to  care  for.  Being  in  limited  circumstances  she 
was  necessarily  compelled  to  put  them  all  out  among 
strangers.

(1)  Jacob,  after  becoming  grown,  married  and  moved  to 
the  Shenandoah  valley  and  settled  near  Charlestown  in  Jeff- 
erson county,  now  West  Virginia.  Here  he  lived  quite  a 
number  of  years,  and  died  at  an  advanced  age,  leaving  but 
few  descendants  of  his  name.^ 

No.  3 — Second  Generation  1. 

(2)  John,  married  in  Pennsylvania,  where  he  also  died, 
being  the  father  of  two  children — a  son  and  a  daughter. 
The  son  died  when  about  18  years  of  age.  The  daughter 
married;  but  the  writer  has  not  been  able  to  ascertain  as  to 
the  name  of  her  husband. 

No.  4 — Second  Generation  1. 

(3)  Christian  died  unmarried  at  Alexandria,  Virginia, 
where  he  was  buried.  He  was  a  shoemaker  by  trade.  He 
was  the  youngest  of  the  children  of  Matheus  Hiitwohl. 

No.  5 — Second  Generation  1. 

(4)  Anna  married  Samuel  Weaver,  from  whom  have 
descended  the  Weavers  of  Rockingham  county,  Virginia. 
She  was  the  mother  of  the  late  Samuel  Weaver,  who  died 
on  his  farm  2]/^  miles  west  of  Harrisonburg.  This  farm  is 
now  in  possession  of  John  Brunk,  who  married  one  of  her 
granddaughters .

ingham  county,  Virginia  and  for  some  time  lived  on  the 
farm  now  owned  and  occupied  by  Hugh  Swope'  near  Dale 
Enterprise,  Virginia;  but  subsequently  settled  permanently 
three  miles  west  of  Mt.  Clinton,  near  North  Mountain, 
where  they  lived  for  a  number  of  years,  and  brought  up  a 
family  of  eight  children  named  as  foUoWvS — John,  Peter, 
Jacob,  Martin,  Samuel,  Susan,  Mary  and  Elizabeth. 

John  Bowman  died  September  17th,  1834,  and  was  the 
father  of  our  respected  friend  and  kinsman,  Benj.  D.  Bow- 
man; who  now  resides  near  Mt.  Clinton  and  is  one  of  the 
few  descendants  now  living   in  Rockingham   county   that 
sprang   from  Peter  and    Mary  Bowman.     Peter   Bowman, 
his  grandfather,  accidently  came  to  his  death  on  December 
22nd,  1823,  at  the  age  of  60  years,  10  months  and  7  days. 
Like  many  of  the  early  settlers  who  came  to  Virginia, 
he  became  fond  of  hunting.     Being  quite   large  and   fleshy 
it  was  his  habit  to  ride  out  into  the  mountains,  hitch  his 
horse,  and  then  hunt  on  foot.     While  out  on  his  last  hunt- 
ing excursion   his  horse  came  home  in  the  evening.     As  he 
[Bowman]   did  not   return  search  was  made  by  following 
the  trail  of  the  horse.     The  party  who  instituted  the  search 
found  where  his  horse  had  broken  loose  from  the  tree  to 
which  he  had  been  hitched,  and  by  following  his  own  track, 
they  found  him  dead,  still  holding  in  his  grasp   his  musket, 
the  contents  of  which  were  lodged  in  his  breast.     It  was 
distinctly  seen  where  he  had  slipped  in  the  snow,  and  in 
order  to  avoid  a  fall  had  struck  the  breech  end  of  his  musket 
upon  the  ground,  which  was  evidently  the  cause  of  its  dis- 
charge. 

Mary,  his  wife,  whose  maiden  name  was  Hiedwohl, 
as  before  stated,  was  born  in  Lancaster  county,  Pennsyl- 
vania, December  18th,  1766,  and  died  some  ten  years  after 
the  death  of   her  husband,  in  February,  1833,  in  the  66th

year  of  her  age.     Both  were  buried  in  the  family  grave- 
yard on  the  farm  now  owned  by  Samuel  F.  Sho waiter. 

No.  7 — Second  Generation  1. 

(6)  The  writer  being  more  particularly  iuterested  in  the 
history  of  David  and  Magdalene  Hiedwohl,  and  their  de- 
scendants, will  from  henceforth  confine  his  attention  princi- 
pally to  the  tracing  up  of  their  nnmerous  progeny. 

David  was  born  in  Lancaster  county,  Pennsylvania, 
in  the  year  1767,  and,  as  before  stated,  was  left  fatherless 
when  but  a  small  boy;  and  as  the  custom  in  those  early 
times,  was  bound  out  until  he  reached  a  certain  age  and 
was  then  expected  to  learn  a  trade.  Unfortunately,  he  fell 
into  rough  hands,  where  he  became  a  victom  to  harsh  treat- 
ment, and  was  frequently  so  maltreated  that  he  carried  scars 
to  his  grave  from  beatings  he  had  received;  and  as  is  usually 
the  case  nowadays,  he  ran  away  from  his  place  of  punish- 
ment, and  joined  himself  to  a  man  by  the  name  of  Momaw, 
in  whose  family  he  remained  until  he  became  18  years  of 
age. 

After  that  he  went  to  reside  with  his  uncle.  Christian 
Hass,  before  mentioned,  of  whom  he  learned  the  shoemaker 
trade.  Becoming  master  of  his  trade,  he  soon  after  married 
Magdalene  Weland,  whose  parents  had  left  Lancaster 
county,  Pennsylvania,  when  she  was  but  a  small  girl.  They 
had  settled  about  oile  hundred  miles  north  of  Harrisburg, 
Pa.,  in  the  then  wilds  which  lay  between  the  north  and  south 
branches  of  the  Susquehanna  River.  But  the  encroach- 
ments of  the  pale  faces,  upon  the  hunting  grounds  of  the 
hostile  Indians,  did  not  meet  the  general  approbation  of  the 
redskins  of  the  forest.  "Squatter  Sovereignty"  was  not 
embraced  in  the  code  of  laws  by  which  the  Red  men  were 
governed;  and  most  of  the  early  pioneer  settlers  of  that  sec- 
tion learned,  by  sad  experience,  that  this  was  too  true. 
Such  was  the  case  with  the  Weland  family.     Twice  were 


HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY  67 


they  driven  from  their  home,  and  had  their  buildings  burned 
by  the  Indians;  and  in  one  of  their  skirmishes  with  the  foe, 
one  of  the  sons  was  shot  dead  and  another  wounded,  the 
rest  of  the  family  barely  escaping  with  their  lives. 

At  this  time  Magdalene  was  about  14  years  old  and  con- 
cluded to  remain  in  Lancaster  county  whither  the  rest  of  the 
family  had  fled  for  safety. 

For  the  space  of  about  seven  years,  she  lived  with  a 
family  by  the  name  of  Grabill,  and  it  was  here  that  David 
Hiedwohl  became  acquainted  with  and  married  her.  After 
their  marriage,  they  remained  in  the  county  in  which  they 
were  born,  and  lived  for  two  or  three  years  in  a  house  be- 
longing to  Bishop  Henry  Martin,  where  he  carried  on  his 
trade.  They  afterwards  moved  to  Franklin  county,  Penn- 
sylvania, where  they  bought  a  small  farm  2  ^  miles  from 
Chambersburg,     Here  they  remained  about  2^ years. 

At  this  date,  [1764]  a  constant  stream  of  German  emi- 
grants was  coursing  its  way  out  of  Pennsylvania  and  pour- 
ing into  the  Shenandoah  valley.  Among  the  many  Germans 
who  left  Pennsylvania  at  that  time,  in  search  of  cheap  lands 
was  David  Hiedwohl,  who  visited  the  "Valley"  and  bought 
85  acres  of  land  located  in  Rockingham  county,  Virginia,  2)4, 
miles  south  of  Harrisonburg;  upon  which  was  built  a  small 
cabin.  The  land  cost  him  the  sum  of  three  hundred  pounds 
[about  $1,400]  and  was  bounded  as  follows:  "Beginning  at 
some  grubs  and  a  heap  of  stones; Patent  and  Harrison's  corner, 
and  running  S.  25  E.  162  poles  to  a  black-oak  in  Aaron  Solo- 
mon's field,  and  with  his  line,  N.  53  E.  13  poles  to  two  wal- 
nuts; his  corner  and  Thomas's  and  with  Thomas's  line  N. 
42  E.  45  poles  to  a  white  oak  and  hickory;  N.  Z2  E.  11  poles 
crossing  a  branch  to  a  walnut;  N.  70  E.  to  the  Patent  hne, 
and  with  the  same  N.  11  E.  69  poles  to  a  stump,  about  a  pole 
east  of  a  large  locust;  N.  68  E.  88  poles  to  a  pine;  Bushong's 
corner;  and  with  his  line  south  eighty-seven  degrees,  west 
two  hundred   and   twelve  poles   to  the  beginning."     The 


68  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


same   land  is  now  in  the  possession  of  George  G.  SnelL' 

After  visiting  his  friends  who  had  already  preceeded 
him  to  the  "'valley,"  he  returned  to  his  home  in  Pennsylvania, 
where  he  sold  his  lands,  and  either  in  the  fall  of  1795  or  the 
spring  of  1796  he  bid  adieu  to  his  friends  and  kindred  who 
remained  in  his  native  land,  and  with  their  blessing  started 
on  his  journey  to  Virginia. 

For  the  benefit  of  his  descendants  of  the  present  genera- 
tion, the  writer  will  here  give  the  statement  as  it  was  related 
him,  what  constituted  the  harness,  or  '^rig"  of  his  team: 
straw  collars,  rope  traces,  with  other  necessary  gearing,  all 
of  which  was  made  of  the  same  material.  Reaching  the 
home  of  his  adoption,  he  settled  permanently  upon  his  farm 
where  in  connection,  he  carried  on  his  trade  for  a  number 
of  years.  The  writer  distinctly  remembers  bearing  away 
his  first  pair  of  shoes,  which  were  made  at  his  shop.^ 

David,  seems  to  have  shared  to  more  than  an  ordinary 
degree  of  that  prolific,  procreative  virtue,  which  has  since 
become  so  inherent  to  most  of  his  descendants.  He  became 
the  father  of  eleven  children— seven  sons  and  four  daughters, 
all  of  whom,  with  one  exception,  arrived  to  mature  age. 
He  was  one  of  those  plain,  unassuming  men  of  his  time,  and 
was  a  believer  in,  and  a  strong  advocate  of  the  non-resistent 
doctrine  as  taught  by  Menno  Simon.  He  was  scrupulously 
exact  in  his  mode  of  dress  and  also  in  that  of  his  children — 
never  varied  in  the  color  or  cut  of  his  garb,  and  taught  his 
children  the  German  language  only.  He  was  an  elder  in 
the  church  of  his  persuasion,  [Mennonite]  and  tried  to 
comply  with  what  he  believed  to  be  the  will  of  his  Lord  and 
Master.  He  died  April  8th  1842,  in  the  75th  year  of  his 
age,  and  was  buried  in  the  Blosser  graveyard  1^  miles 
northeast  of  Dayton,  where  his  wife,    Magdalene  had  also

75th  year  of  her  age. 

The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  "Family  Record"  of 
David  and  Magdalene  Hiitwohl  which  I  give,  as  nearly  as  I 
can  translate  from  the  German.  This  will  give  some  idea 
as  to  how  family  records  were  kept  in  the  latter  part  of  the 
eighteenth  and  the  beginning  of  the  ninteenth  centuries.

70  HISTORY  OF  THE  HEATWOLE  FAMILY 


the  eldest  of  the  family  was  born  in  Lancaster  county,  Penn- 
sylvania, and  was  six  or  seven  years  old  when  his  father 
removed  to  Virginia.  He  married  Margaret  Swank,  a 
daughter  of  Jacob  and  Polly  Swank,  and  settled  in  Rocking- 
ham county,  near  the  "Mole  Hill"  in  the  woods.  Being 
possessed  of  a  strong  constitution,  together  with  an  indomi- 
table will,  he  plied  his  axe  and  maul  to  advantage,  and  as 
the  forest  trees  by  which  he  was  surrounded  grew  less  in 
number,  so  little  by  little  his  few  tillable  acres  in  the  course 
of  time  increased  to  quite  a  farm,  the  boundaries  of  which 
were  so  situated  that  never,  through  the  whole  course  of  his 
life,  did  it  suit  to  join  fencing  with  any  of  his  neighbors. 
He  was  a  cooper  by  trade,  and  this  he  carried  on  in  connec- 
tion with  his  farm.  Many  a  barrel  was  turned  out  of  his 
shop  in  those  days  when,  by  converting  into  flour,  was  the 
only  way  in  which  farmers  of  that  time  could  realize  any 
money  from  their  wheat  crops.

himself  to  alleviate  his  fellow  beings  of  the  ills,  which  the

resident  of  Goshen,  in  the  said  county,  still  in  the  practice 
of  his  profession.  Although  the  youngest  of  the  family, 
and  one  of  the  two  remaining  unplucked  branches  that 
sprang  from  the  parent  stock,  and  is  now  about  to  pass  the 
66th  milestone  on  the  highway  of  time,  along  which  he  has 
here  and  there,  encountered  a  thorn  in  his  path;  but  accord- 
ing to  nature's  law  he  has  but  a  few  more  years  to  pass,  ere 
he  reaches  his  three  score  and  ten.  Notwithstanding  his 
locks  are  frosted  with  the  snows  of  life's  December,  yet  his 
mind  seems  to  be  clear,  and  comprehensive,  and  his  body 
full  of  life  and  energy.  His  has  been  a  life  of  activity  and 
perseverance,  and  unlike  most  of  the  other  members  of  the 
family,  has  been  a  warm  advocate  of  the  cause  of  education; 
that  is,  if  he  may  be  judged  by  the  liberal  education  he  has 
secured  to  his  children.  As  he  became  the  father  of  eleven 
children,  to  him  too  must  have  been  transmitted  that  prolific 
generative  power,  known  to  be  one  of  the  prominent  charac- 
teristics of  the  Heatwole  race. 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  to  the  author,

From  the  foregoing  it  will  be  seen  that  of  the  eleven 
children  but  six  are  now  living,  two  sons  Joseph  H.,  and 
Joel  P.,  and  four  daughters,  Elizabeth,  Catharine,  Rebecca, 
and  Emma,  three  of  whom  are  married;  Catharine  married 
Uriah  Anderson,  July  I4th,  1864.  Elizabeth,  Frank  Wis- 
singer,  April  25,  1867;  and  Rebecca,  Levi  Croop,  Novem- 
ber 20,  1875.  Joseph  is  a  graduate  of  the  Medical  College 
at  Cincinnati,  and  is  now  located  at  Middlebury,  Elkhart 
county,  Indiana.  Joel  P.  is  also  located  at  the  same  place 
as  the  editor  and  proprietor  of  the  Middlebury  Record.  Both 
occupy  positions  that  will  enable  them  to  leave  their  marks 
on  the  scroll  of  time.  From  the  foregoing  pages  the  reader 
will  observe  that  of  ten  children  who  sprang  from  David  and 
Magdalene  Heatwole  [at  this  date,  April  16th,  1878,]  buttwo 
of  them  are  now  living,  Abraham'  the  sixth  child  and  Henry 
the  youngest.  From  these  ten  have  decended  89  grand 
children,  an  average  of  eight  and  ninetenths,  56  of  whom 
are  now  living;  568  great  grand  children,  140  great,  great 
grand  children,  and  two  great,  great,  great  grand  children. 
At  this  late  date,  it  is  not  possible  for  the  writer  to  ascertain 
with  any  accuracy  as  to  what  is  the  number  living  at  the 
present  time,  who  descended  from  the  parent  stock,  from 
the  fact  that  nearly  every  state  in  the  Union  is  represented 
by  some  branch  of  the  family,  but  is  believed  that  sufficient 
information  has  been  obtained  to  vouch  for  the  assertion 
that  between  550  or  600  souls  are  now  living,  in  whose  veins 
flow  the  blood  of  David  and  Magdalene  Heatwole  who  emi- 
grated to  Virginia  something  less  than  a  centur}^  ago." 

Here  ends  the  genealogy  as  first  published  by  D.  A. 
Heatwole  in  1882.  From  this  point  forward  the  family 
registers  are  as  complete  as  was  possible  to  obtain  then, 
and  brings  the  Heatwole  record  up  to  the  present  time  (1907). 

I  Abraham  Heatwole  died  March  13,  1879,  near  Dale  Enterprise,  Va., 
at  his  home  where  he  lived  for  46  years,  aged  79  years  8  months,  and  20

Bettie  E.  Heatwole  married  John  S.  Coffman  Novem-

He  was  the  eldest  son  of  Bishop  Samuel  Coffman;  was 
born  on  the  Keagy  farm,  near  Mt.  Crawford,  Rockingham 
county,  Va.,  October  16,  1848,  and  died  of  cancer  in  the 
stomach,  at  Elkhart  City,  Ind.,  at  5:30  p.m.,  July  22,  1899, 
at  the  age  of  50  years,  9  months,  and  6  days. 

The  first  30  years  of  his  life  were  spent  in  his  native 
State.  In  early  life  he  rose  to  prominence  in  educational 
circles  of  the  county,  and  as  a  teacher  in  the  public  schools, 
ranked  among  the  foremost  in  competency  and  zeal  for  the 
work. 

Being  a  member  of  the  Mennonite  church  from  early 
life,  in  July,  1875,  he  was  ordained  to  the  ministry  of  that 
order.  In  this  sphere  of  life,  for  which  he  seemed  pecu- 
liarly fitted,  he  rendered  most  faithful  service  to  his  church 
and  the  Master's  cause  in  general.  During  the  24  years 
covered  by  his  ministry  he  travelled  extensively  as  an  evan- 
gelist— preaching  the  Gospel  in  no  less  than  twenty  States 
and  various  parts  of  Canada,  and  the  number  of  converts

establishment  of  a  church  school  at  the  same  place  in  1896, 
known  as  the  Elkhart  Institute,  he  became  its  first  president, 
and  though  failing  health  already  became  apparent,  he 
labored  most  assiduously  in  the  face  of  numerous  obstacles 
for  its  success. 

Simultaneously  with  the  hour  (2  p.  m.,  on  Tuesday,

No.  339 — Fourth  Generation  338. 

Gabriel  Heatwole,  the  second  son  of  David  and  Susanna 
Helbert  Heatwole,  married  Mary  Smith,  a  widow  with  one 
daughter,  Elizabeth  A.,  in  the  year  1855,  near  Marion, 
South  Carolina.  She  died  at  Patterson  Springs,  North 
Carolina,  August  7,  1870.  It  is  worthy  of  note  that  her 
daughter,  Lizzie  Smith,  stayed  and  kept  house  for  the 
Heatwole  children  till  they  were  large  enough  to  look 
after  themselves. 

Gabriel  Heatwole  was  one  of  the  early  families  that 
wandered  from  the  native  state  of  the  Virginia  Valley, 
and  spent  his  life  in  the  states  farther  south.  He  lived 
with  his  uncle,  Gabriel  Heatwole,  near  the  Mole  Hill,  Rock- 
ingham county,  Virginia,  till  at  the  age  of  17  years.  He 
was  sent  by  his  father  to  Lexington,  Virginia,  as  an  appren- 
tice to  a  silver  smith.  Bear  by  name.  At  the  age  of  22  he 
enlisted  in  Capt.  Harper's  company,  of  Staunton,  Virginia, 
and  went  to  the  Mexican  war  and  served  in  General  Tay- 
lors's  command.  After  the  war  he  was  assigned  a  sol- 
diers quoto  (320  acres)  of  land  located  at  or  near  Tuccoa, 
Georgia,  but  never  took  possession  of  it.  He  drew  a  pen- 
sion for  his  services  in  the  Mexican  war. 

He  located  finally  in  South  Carolina,  where  it  seems 
he  learned  the  dentist  business  of  one  Bennett  Jordan,  and 
practiced  his  profession  till  his  death. 

At  the  opening  of  the  civil  war  he  was  Hving  at 
Shelby,  North  Carolina,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  he 
was  opposed  to  the  war,  he  was  drafted  into  service  in  Oc- 
tober, 1864.  He  went  to  Weir,  Mississppi,  in  1884,  to 
live  with  his  daughter  Georgia.  He  died  and  was  buried 
there  September  13,  1892.

David  A.  Heatwole  married  Catherine  Driver,  of  Tim- 
berville,  Virg-inia.  She  was  born  September  4,  1828,  and 
died  July  27,  1906.  Farmer.  P.  O.,  Dale  Enterprise, 
Virg-inia.  Mennonite.  He  served  a  term  as  county  super- 
visor of  central  district  and  many  times  as  assessor  of  real 
estate  of  the  district;  also  served  on  commissions  to  locate 
roads  and  bridges  in  the  county.  He  is  author  of  a  History  of 
the  Heatwole  Family,  and  furnished  almost  entirely  the  ma- 
terial for  this  volume.  He  was  instrumental  in  the  organi- 
zation of  societies  among  the  young  people  of  his  community 
at  different  times  for  their  intellectual  improvement.  He  was 
the  godfather  of  the  Dale  Enterprise  Literary  Society, 
organized  in  1885,  and  which  did  so  much  toward  the  uplift- 
ing of  many  of  the  young  men  of  that  community.  He  always 
gave  it  the  greatest  encouragement,  and  at  a  critical  mo- 
ment in  its  existence  built,  at  his  own  expense,  a  nice  hall 
on  his  farm  that  the  organization  might  have  a  home.  This 
is  probably  the  most  far  reaching  work  of  his  life,  and  in 
Which  he  likely  takes  a  most  pardonable  pride. 

He  was  president  of  the  West  Rockingham  Mutual 
Fire  Insurance  Company  for  25  years,  which  was  organized 
in  1872,  until  a  few  years  ago  when  he  resigned  on  account 
of  his  advanced  age.  He  was  also  president  of  the  Har- 
risonburg and  Rawley  Springs  Turnpike  Company,  resign- 
ing this  position  only  a  few  years  ago  for  the  same  reason. 

He  is  now  living  an  octogenarian  on  the  farm  upon 
which  he  was  reared  near  Dale  Enterprise,  Virginia. 

Their  children  are: 

1.  Lewis  J,,  born  December  4,  1852. 

2.  Silas,  born  March  7,  1854;  died  March  8,  1854.
