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."

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.

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.

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 "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-
HISTORY OF THE HAETWOLE FAMILY 53
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
34 HISTORY OF THE HEATWOLE FAMILY
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. ' '

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.

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

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.

Franz August Krieger, and was born August 3, 1874, at St.
Avoid in Lothringen. He attended the royal lyceum at

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.

we present to him in sincerity the testimonial that he, in
his office, has been most skilful and diligent; in his conduct
toward every man, most charitable and obliging, and has
served the whole congregation most profitably. His con-

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

Herewith is the relationship of the widely ramified

toward establishing the relations of kinship and in perserv-
ing the interest in the old ancestral seat of Steeg.
This delightful continuation of attachment the Ameri-
can branch of the family, separated for 153 years, mani-
fests anew, in that the wife and daughter of Congressman
Joel P. Hiitwohl (mention on page 41), of Northfield, Min-
nesota, are intending to visit Steeg in the latter part of 1901.
There may also be presented the appended picture of
Steeg, which, at the spot where the sun is shining, shows
the present family dwellings, where of old lived those of
our forefathers concerning whom the following verses
speak so ingeniously; lines which were inscribed in the re-
gister of Jacob Hiitwohl's tavern by a visitor to his cellar-
ages, August 16, 1895.
When Bacchus, merry comrade, wddely famed.
For home-seat hard upon the Rhine's green strand
Chose here the fairest spot in all the land.
It was from thenceforth Bacchus' Altar named.
He^e planted he and titled the trailing vine.
HISTORY OF THE HEATWOLE FAMILY 61
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
I Rupp's collection of thirty thousand names.

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.
No. 2 — Second Generation 1.
(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,

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

(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

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.
He was blessed with a family of children that numbered
an even dozen, eight sons and four daughters, all of whom
married, and settled within a few miles of the old home-
stead, on which their father remained up to the date of his
death, which took place June 18th, 1875, at the advanced
age of 85 years, 7' months and 22 days. He was buried in
the old "Shank' ' grave-yard, by the side of his wife who died
six or seven years before.
David G., their eldest child, was born April 7th, 1812,
and died near Dale Enterprise, August 18th, 1857; buried

uel Long, and died October 26th, 1849; was buried near the

the scenes of his childhood and went to the state of Ohio,
where he married Barbara Kolb, a daughter of Henry and
Elizabeth Kolb, of Columbia county. While here he applied
his mind to the study of medicine and in the course of
time, by hard study, and close application, fully qualified
himself to alleviate his fellow beings of the ills, which the
flesh is heir to. He first practiced his profession for some
time in his adopted state; then for some years in the north-
ern part of Pennsylvania, and for some length of time in
HISTORY OF THE HEATWOLE FAMILY 77
Waterford, Elkhart county, Indiana. At present he is a
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,
giving dates of births and deaths, and places of burial:

will observe that of ten children who sprang from David and

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
days, and was buried in the Shank graveyard.

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

In the year 1879 he moved with his family from Rock-
ingham county, to Elkhart, Ind., where, up until recent
years he was connected with the Mennonite Publishing com-
pany as associate editor of The Herald of Truth. With the
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.

the 25th), for holding the funeral obsequies at Elkhart, Ind.,
where the body was also buried, a large concourse of people
assembled with the family connections in Virginia, at the

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.
3. Daniel F., born December 18, 1854.
