UESICK GENEALOGY

John F. Meslck
1888

INTRODUCTION.

Years were spent in gathering the facts of this family record.
The archives of the early history of the State of New York, in
the Capitol library, Albany, were consulted ; and on a map of
the Livingston Manor, the Miibick house, the home of the
original ancestor, was found on the Claverack creek. In Doc-
umentary History of New York, Vol. 3, p. 404, Veil Miisig
(ii is sounded e,) Mesig, a German Palatine, from Hunters-
town, is named as a volunteer for an expedition against Can-
ada, July 16, 1711. From this scrap the inference is drawn
that the first emigrant of this family came from the Palatinate
on the upper Rhine, of which Heidelbergh was the chief city.
In 17 19, during the reign of Charles Philip, the Reformed
Church, at the instigation of the Romanists, was assailed with
furious persecution, and thousands of its members were driven
into exile, Iea\ing their houses and lands to be occupied by
their oppressors, and taking with them the few worldly goods
that ihey could carry ; and were forced for conscience
sake to become refugees in Germany, Holland, England and
America. The nucleus of this genealogy was furnished by
Thomas Mesick, of Guilderland, Albany County, in 1840, then
aged 86, born in Claverack, and endowed with good memory.
John I. Mesick, of West Ghent, supplied from documents and
traditions family lines that could have been procured from no
other source. Miss Kitiie Mesick, of Claverack, furnished a
large share of the records of the Hendrick branch. The books
of the Claverack and Linlithgo Reformed churches have sup-
plied several names and dates. By extensive correspondence,

1372849

pcated journeys and personal interviews, the compiler has
.lUed up gaps and secured reliable data. What is here pre-
sented would have been lost irrecoverably in a few short years
had it not been sought out at this time.

Ffitz Muzigh, the original ancestor of the Hendrick branch,
was born in Germany in 1694, immigrated in 17 19, landed at
Germantown and settled in the Northern part of Livingston
Manor, on a life leased farm of 168 acres, 7 miles distant from
the head of Warren street, Pludson, i^ miles from Glencoe
Mills, and i^ miles East of the Post road, between Albany and
New York. Tradition says that he brought all his property
on a wheelbarrow ; proof of the sacrifices made for religious
principle. Here he built a small but substantial log house
(125 years old in 1SS3,) still standing and inhabited. This
farm passed into the hands of Harry and Waller Decker, of
Peter N. Decker and of Zachariah Ham, its owner at the last
date. Ffitz Muzigh's name appears- in a list of freeholders
made out in 1720. — Documentary History of Neiv York,
Vol. 1, J>. 424.

In the double door of this log house is a bullet hole which,
tradition says, was made by a shot gun in the hands of Tories
who attempted to rob and murder the old man, who was re-
puted to have some money in his dwelling. The Tories took
him three times to the cellar and hung him from the beam
overhead to compel him to divulge the hiding place of his
treasure ; but his neighbors rallied to his rescue, and the Tor-
ies were alarmed and escaped. This fact indicates that he had
survived the date 1776, and had reached his 85th year.

FIRST GENERATION.

FFITZ MUZIGH. Born 1694. Died after 1776. Mar-
ried Maria Catherine Emigrated 17 19. His chil-
dren were :

A. HENURICK. Born 1715. Died April 3, 1809,

B. JACOB. Born 1717. Died March 19, 1774.

C. CATHERINE. Daughter married Jacob Young.

D. THOMAS. Born 1734. Died July 26, 1782.

Doubt hangs over this relation, on account of the wide
space between the birth dates. Yet Thomas Mesick No. 3,
son of Thomas Mesick No. 2, said in 1840 that his Grand
Father was Fiet Mesick ; and the solution of this difficulty
may be that Ffitz Muzigh had a second wife.

HENDRICK MESICK BRANCH.

SECOND GENERATION.

had a joint lease with his father, until his death. There he
was buried, but his remains as well as those of his wife were re-
interred in the grave yard of the Claverack Reformed Church.

formed Church in 1755. He was in Consistory from 1753 to
1767, and an Elder 1755. He received a Commission as

early age he married Christina Moul, wlio was born at Red
Hook, April 12th, 1754. She was an intellectual woman ; was
quite a controversionalist, and was noted for her fine conver-
sational gifts, being able at any time to entertain a room full
of interested listeners.

This aged couple lived together more than sixty years, and
died upon the same day, November 27, 1834, and were bur-
ied in the same grave. The following inscription appears upon
their tombstone in Clavcrack Cemetery :

"Hcncrvlli this stone two reverent forms are laiH,

\Vlio all the ills of four-score ye.irs defied ;
Happy in life, in death were undismayed ;

They lived together and together died."

ADDENDA.

Rev. John W. Messick, D.l)., of Georgetown, Sussex Coun-
ty, Delaware, reports that that State is full of families, who
spell the name as he does, that is with SS, who are of an inde-
pendent origin, and separate extraction. A score of names
with the same spelling is found in the Philadelphia City Direc-
tory. Rev. John F. Messick, Dixon, Webster County, Ken-
tucky, leports that his grandfather, George Messick, came
from England to Rockingham Co., Virginia ; moved thence
to Kentucky ; and had twelve sons and two daughters, the
progenitors of a numerous posterity settled in Kentucky,
Illinois and Missouri.

As I am now you soon will be.
Prepare for death and follow me."
