Extractions: This link is a simple explanation for the similarities and differences of the Dunkards (German Baptists), the Mennonites and the Quakers. Often, those who spoke German were believed to come from Germany, and the Alsace was sometimes Germanic, and sometimes French, but those Mennonites and Amish originated in Switzerland. All were pacifists, did not believe in swearing an oath to a governmental entity and the Dunkards and Mennonites were not politically active, in contrast to the Quakers. JohnO's family could have arrived in the US in NY, went up the Hudson, and across the Erie Canal to the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area and then traveled across into Ontario. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~annieron/Dunkards%20Men-nonites%20and%20Quake This thread: RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com

Extractions: Home Table of Contents Surnames Stray Winders Up until the 16th century, Europeans were essentially Catholic. But just about the time that Columbus was "discovering" America, Martin Luther in Germany, Zwingli in Switzerland, Calvin in Geneva and Knox in Scotland were publically questioning the Catholic Church. Thus began a period of religious rebellion. Among the rebel religions were the "peace churches": German Baptist (Dunkard), Anabaptist (Mennonite), and Society of Friends (Quaker). These religions had these things in common: Because of these differences with the normal civil order, there was a separation from the main-stream culture of the new colonies. To make matters worse, the Brethren and the Mennonites spoke German, separating them even further from the English-speaking populations.

Some know it only as the third stop along the Anaheim and Azuza on the old Jack Benny "excursion train." Others recognize it as the heart of the southland grape and wine industry. Still others are familiar with her grand history from Indian days through the era of the 13,000 acre Cucamonga Rancho and to the wonderful days surrounding her growth around the turn of the century. How many of us, except for a few however, would recognize the names Marquette, Eswena, Grapeland, and Rochester? Each one was at one time, a part of the area known as the West End of San Bernardino County. In fact thy all came from lands once included in the old Rancho. The truth is, they were as well known then as Cucamonga, Ontario, Upland, Etiwanda, or Alta Loma are today.

Here are some of the religions that the settlers had in Colonial America: The Puritans The Puritans believed that you should build your house near your neighbors house so that you could watch them. They believed it was their job to watch every move you made. No single person was welcome to a Puritan village unless a family took you in. Only married couples were allowed to own land. In Puritan villages you were expected to act like an adult at the age of six or seven years old! That meant that you had to get up and do your chores very early in the morning. In Puritan villages, there was a simple little house made of wood, called, a meeting house. You and your neighbors gathered there for a few hours to talk about your day, and the pastor would talk about how to be a good person. You had to go to these meeting houses on Sundays and two days during the week.

Extractions: Table of Contents Return to the History Books Page JOHN ROTHROCK, PIONEER DUNKARD THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THE OLD AND THE NEW SCHOOLS SECOND, OR NEW SCHOOL CHURCH ... WOMEN'S CLUBS John Rothrock, one of the donors of the land on which the city stands, was a leader and a minister in the Dutch Reform, or Dunkard Church, and was very active in its affairs until his death in 1860. Although his followers made no special effort to increase the formal membership of the society, its annual meetings, or out-of-door revivals, were largely attended, even by many Dunkards from a distance. As Mr. Rothrock was comparatively wealthy and the local members of the church were industrious and fore-handed, the society maintained for some years a strong and good influence on the community. The Baptists and Presbyterians organized classes not long after the Dunkards took the field tinder Elder Rothrock, and in 1836, as has already been noted, the Methodists founded a society. The Presbyterians and the Methodists have maintained their organizations to the present time. The Old and the New School Presbyterians commenced building churches about the same time in 1843; but the history of the periods of disunion and subsequent union has been so well written by A. R. Orton that the writer is pleased to condense from one of his articles.

http://home.centurytel.net/dbrownfamily/brown/jacobbrownstory.html

Extractions: May 2000 Although the deed was dated February 4, 1875, nearly four years elapsed before Jacob Brown could sell his 25 acres in Liberty Township and move his family permanently south, just 15 miles, to another log cabin. Throughout this new township (named Marion), forests of cottonwood, poplar, beech, and oak spread for miles in every direction. The infamous Black Swamp, which for decades discouraged settlement in northwestern Ohio, still existed. Above him the forest crisscrossed; beneath, the ground sucked at his boots. But Jacob Brown was optimistic. Using a few animals, such implements as he could build or buy, and his own strong back, Jacob knew full well that he could transform this densely wooded property into a productive farm. He'd grown up with a worthy example. Jacob's father, Henry Brown, was an early settler in Washington Township, in one corner of Hancock County. Along with his brothers, Martin and John, Henry Brown arrived in 1833 to carve a home from the seemingly impenetrable forest. The three brothers had each purchased 80-acre parcels in Section 36 of the township, and they faced the daunting task of clearing 240 acres. Jacob, Henry's tenth child, was born sixteen years after the brothers arrived.
Peters Creek Church Of The Brethren

http://www.garstfamily.com/pccb.html

Extractions: One of the Valley's Oldest Peters Creek Church of the Brethren built in 1845 Early in the 18th century Europe was torn by strife. In the Eder Valley, near Schwargenau, Germany in the spring of 1708, Alexander Mack along with seven others, began a movement which evolved into what is known today as "The Church of The Brethren". In 1719, Mack, with his numerous followers, fled from Europe to America. The colony which they established in Germantown, Pennsylvania was the beginning of the "Dunkards" in America. We must remember the people called "Dunkards". who first came to the area were clannish, German speaking and for many years held themselves apart from their neighbors. They were hard working, industrious people and as a whole, excellent farmers. They sought only enough land to supply their needs. They sought neither wealth nor social prestige. They were not interested in political office and certainly they were not desirous of any type of military honor. When the Shenandoah Valley was first settled the Germans heavily populated the upper portion.

Extractions: Ephrata, Hotbed of Religion Last Update: In 1782, when Comte de Segur visited Philadelphia, it was the religious toleration that excited his admiration rather than the fine proportions of the State House, or the markets along the High Street, or the handsome country houses with gardens dipping down to the Schuylkill. That Quakers, Episcopalians, Mennonites, Dunkards, Lutherans, Reformed, Presbyterians, Moravians, Roman Catholics, Jews, Methodists, and Baptists could all worship amicably together, each had his separate church or meetinghouse, each in his own fashion: that to him was the miracle. Ephrata had smaller buildings as well, among them an almonry, a granary, and a bakehouse in back of Saron, and here and there cottages for the married couples in addition to the barns and mills of several kinds. As Beissel had scruples about the use of iron, the brethren substituted wood for iron wherever possible. Saal was built without any iron, wooden pegs being used in place of nails. This was in obedience to the injunction given by Moses in Deuteronomy 27:5:Thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them." Furthermore, iron is symbolic of evil and darkness. The trenchers from which they ate were naturally of wood, but so were the knives and spoons and even the Communion goblets. Blocks of wood were used to iron their clothes. Much importance was attached to symbolism. In determining the size of one of the larger buildings, they were guided by the symbolism of the numbers designating the length of the building. They believed that in any number a circle represented God and the downstroke man. The number 66 was rejected because in each of the 6's man was put before God; 100 was rejected because there man was put before God. Finally 99 was approved because in each 9 God was put above man.

http://www.horseshoe.cc/pennadutch/religion/plainpeople/plainp.htm

Extractions: The meaning of the phrase "The Plain People" which has been chosen as the heading of this chapter, is locally well understood, but when one comes to set down just what is included in this rather common expression it is not so easily done. There is a group of religious organizations composed of several denominations in Lancaster county, to which this appellation has been applied by common consent. The group at present includes the Mennonites, the Amish, the Church of the Brethren (often called Dunkards or Dunkers), the Brethren in Christ (River Brethren), the United Zion's Children (Brinserites), the Yorkers, the New Mennonites or Reformed Mennonites. It is the purpose of this chapter to set forth in a sympathetic and unbiased manner the brief history of these organizations together with a description of their respective beliefs and practices. In no sense is there any desire to criticise or condemn. Even where one would find himself in disagreement with some of these beliefs or practices, there is no less respect and reverence for those who hold these views. There is no question but that these sturdy people, by their pious lives, the practice of their simple faith, their strong devotion to what they believe to be right, by their self-denial, and by their integrity and frugality, have made a large contribution to the social, religious, economical and industrial life of our great county, and have added to the solidarity of its citizenship.

Extractions: NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE ELLER FAMILY IN GERMANY J. Gerald Eller James W. Hook failed to fully document what he wrote on the history of the Eller family in Germany. Letters were written in 1986 to several researchers in West Germany who were known to be interested in the history of the Eller family and to several archives and church officials. Confirmation, corrections, and additions to that which Hook published on this subject were requested. Several letters and some published information have been received and will be shared when translations are available. For the benefit of readers not acquainted with Hook, his writings on the history of the Eller family in Germany are presented below and followed by letters from three contemporary German Eller family researchers. FROM: James W. Hook, "JAMES W. HOOK AND VIRGINIA ELLER", New Haven, 1925, pp. 102-103. The Eller family is a very old and honorable one in Germany. According to Siebmacher the name in the middle ages was spelled Elner. The family was one of the most distinguished in the Rhineland. Its ancestral seat was near Dusseldorf from whence the family spread to Westphalia and south to the Rhineland Provinces. One branch, at a very early date, settled in Eastern Prussia near Danzig, where Joachim Eller confirmed the family emblem of nobility in 1600. The name and emblem of the Dusseldorf family was adopted by a branch of the Baron von Eberstein family which was heir to some of the Eller estates and in 1819 the emblems of the two families were combined for Carl Heinrich Christian Wilhelm von Eberstein, Royal Prussian Major, universal heir of his uncle Drosten Christian Ludwig van Eller, who was the last of his name to carry the baronetcy title.

Extractions: INFLUENCES IN RELIGION "The population (of Germantown) grew steadily and more diverse, so that by 1735 there were congregations of Mennonites, Brethren (also known as Dunkards and German Baptists), Lutherans, and German Reformed in addition to the Quakers." (Mark Frazier Lloyd and Sandra Macenzie Lloyd, "Three hundred Years of Germantown History: an Exhibition Celebrating the Tercentenary of this Community," Germantown Crier: Germantown 1983 Tercentenary , Germantown Historical Society, Volume 35, Number 1, Winter 1982-83: 7) "Among the Pennsylvania Germans, the Mennonites, Brethren and Schwenkfelders all bear resemblance to the Society of Friends of which religious body the founders of Germantown were members. But the great mass of the Pennsylvania Germans are of the Lutheran or Reformed Faiths. Nevertheless the dialect of the Pennsylvania Germans is akin to the speech of the Friends in that in addressing one another they always use da [sic] equivalent to thee or thou and not the high German me or you. In literary German she [sic] is used in addressing superiors or as a mark of courtesy, while du is employed in speaking to inferiors or in conversation among intimates. But in the Pennsylvania German dialect, as well as in most of the European German dialects, du only is used."

Excluding the Methodists, the current combined membership make up only 1/10th of 1% of total Protestant membership. By 1650 there were 180 sects all based on the Bible. (Each now capable of priesthood.) Today there are over 400 religious denominations in the U.S. and only seventy (70) are of foreign or racial origin. Just two are American, the Mormons and Christian Scientist. The vast majority are derivative from other denominations. No church anywhere, non-Christian as well, has been able to avoid splinter groups, or small sects from developing. It is surprising that the Catholic Church has experienced the most division. And the Methodist Church alone has been the mother of nearly 50 sects.

Extractions: Jesus was born into a Jewish world and became the seed rather than the founder of Christianity. His message that God was a loving father of all life, his rejection of patriotism, bonds of family loyalty, all private wealth and personal advantage, were revolutionary. Jesus never gave much claim to being the Christ, he broke the Sabbath saying it was made for man. Paul, the 13th Disciple, who never saw Jesus in the flesh, was the architect of the Christian church. Christianity was a cult that soon, under Paul's leadership, developed into a religion by adopting practical methods of the popular religions of the times. He buried much of the original teachings of Christ under familiar pagan customs. Christian priests adopted the garment of Egyptian priests, Sunday was taken from Mithraism and Mary came to be worshipped in the guise of Isis, the queen of heaven.
