43. Why Did Wampflers Emigrate?
    Another sect, the dunkards, from a background of the Reformed Church and radicalpietist were followers of Alexander Mack of Schwarzenau, Germany.

    Extractions: Section 1.3 Last update: 11/2000 The Pennsylvania Dutch were composed of a number of groups drawn to William Penn's colony by the lure of religious freedom and the abundant land. They came from the German Palatinate, Holland, Saxon, Alsace, England and Switzerland. Oscar Kuhns in his book "The German and Swiss Settlements of Colonial Pennsylvania" (Kuhns, 1971) describes the conditions of the German Palatinate and Switzerland that lead to the mass immigration to the new land (over 100,000 immigrants prior to the American Revolution). The time line of changes in these lands is supported by writings contemporary to the period in Eshleman's book (1917). The German lands had been in the constant throes of war for a century and at the beginning of the 18'th century the Protestants of this region were persecuted by the Catholic upper classes. At this time the majority of the inhabitants were either Lutherans or Reformed. Swiss Menonites and other pacifist sects had been driven out. The feudal system drove a wedge between the classes that made peasant life very difficult. The Swiss federation, on the other hand, was not touched by the Thirty Years' War and its aftermath, but did have a feudal system entrenched which gave the peasant class little freedom. In particular, religious persecution of the Menonnite and other pacifist sects drove many to immigrate to the new world. This persecution was prompted by the "traffic in soldiers" that supported the Swiss elite in the 18'th century. The anabaptists and mennonites driven from Switzerland first settled in the Palinatate and Alsace around 1671. The authorities in Berne were particularly determined to drive them out. In 1709 they began to actively remove them to America.

    Extractions: Last update: 02/05/'04 1.7.A Philip RETURN TO INDEX Philip was born in Maryland (or Pennsylvania) on January 10th, 1790. He was the son of David and Mary Sanchwick Wampler. He was probably a third generation Dunkard (Church of the Brethren). Earlier analyses suggested that he was a first generation convert to this religion, but recent records suggest that his grandfather, Peter, and his grand mother, Barbara, were both members of the famous Conestoga Congregation in Pennsylvania. Many other members of his family were prominent in the work of the Brethren. He and his father were pioneers in the Ohio territory and in early Brethern congregations of Montgomery County. Philip's sons Edward and Joseph were early Brethren ministers and pioneers in Missouri. His Uncles John and Daniel were also active in the church. Remembering that the Dunkards believed in adult profession and baptism, the various mentions of Philip's joining the Dunkards are still consistent with his father and grandfather's families also being part of this sect. Philip married Catherine Royer on April 27, 1815. Catherine was born February 21st, probably in 1798. She was the daughter of Peter and Anna Roop Royer of Maryland. Philip and Catherine moved to Montgomery County Ohio in 1825 or 1826 soon after his father David had made the move. The following letter written to her mother in Maryland on February 1830 gives some sense of the life of a farm wife in this frontier territory:

    Extractions: Conscientious Objectors In The Civil War Members of several pacifist religious groups conflicted with Union and Confederate officials to defend their conscientious scruples against bearing arms. They tended to suffer most severely in the South, where manpower shortages, a martial spirit, and invading armies left little sympathy for men unwilling to fight. But under each of the opposing governments they sometimes endured violent persecution by civilians, brutal punishment by military authorities, and death by firing squad. The membership of smaller sects such as Dunkards, Amanists, and Schwenkfelders varied between 800 and 1,200. The largest politically active sects, the Society of Friends (Quakers) and the Mennonites, counted well over 200,000 members in 1860; most lived in the North. Shaker and Quaker leaders sought blanket exemptions for their draft-age men, but most cases throughout the war were resolved individually. Often draftees reported voluntarily to instruction camps, then either refused to serve in any military capacity or requested assignments in hospitals; others expressed willingness to support the war effort by furnishing supplies to the army. Lincoln accepted these alternatives and encouraged objectors to apply for exemptions, thus delaying any legislative attempt to address the problem until the draft became an issue in August 1863. Pacifists in combat-torn regions such as the Shenandoah Valley hid or fled with their families to escape being hunted by home guards. By war's end Kentucky Shakers at Pleasant Hill reported having fed at least 50,000 soldiers from both armies and estimated losses in supplies, stock, and buildings at $1 00,000. Some Southern pacifists did enlist voluntarily for combat positions, among them a few Shakers and 6-20 Quakers; 2 companies of Moravian men from Forsyth Cty., N.C., were also mustered into the army in June 1861. Most were expelled from their sects during the war but were readmitted afterward.

46. Deardorf History>
    He and his family belonged to the Church of the Bretheren (dunkards) and were plain people living off the land and observing all of the strict rules.  
    http://www.craigcamera.com/deardorf.htm
    
    Extractions: The following quaint piece of photographic history was prepared by Merle S. Deardorff, probably about 1983, and printed under the Deardorff letterhead. The Deardorffs raised flax and wool from which they made all of the cloth for their clothes. They also made the looms for weaving it. They had a blacksmith's shop for making their own tools and shoeing their horses, a cider mill, and a corn and feed mill which was run by horse power. They also had a saw mill With two five foot eight inch circular saws capable of splitting a log five feet in diameter, which was run by a forty horse power stationary steam engine. This engine was also equipped to make shingles and do the millwork to produce high grade lumber. Their furniture was nearly all homemade, they pegged shoes, blocked hats, and took care of most of their personal needs. Most of the food for the approximately 30 employees who ran the mill, was raised on the farm. Their back yard was equipped with two very large Dutch ovens, and a large kitchen for putting together the meals. Laben was raised on the idea "if you need anything, make it yourself", from which he became very inventive. All his life he had a creative mind, and was continually thinking of and making new things. He graduated at age 18 from high school and almost imediately bought a new suit which was his first that was not home spun. He also had his picture taken, which was not looked on favorably by the Dunkards. On presenting a print to his favorite aunt, who was then quite old, she remarked in her down-home drawl, "Now Laban you shouldn't have done that; those photographer fellows go into a dark room when they do their work., and people that's honest do their work out in the light."

    Extractions: HISTORY Hepburn Township was organized in 1804 out of a territory set off from Loyalsock. It was named to honor William Hepburn, an ex-State Senator and judicial administrator. It embraced the territory, now found in the Township of Lewis, east of Lycoming Creek, and a portion of Cascade and Eldred Townships. Among the first settlers on the Lycoming Creek was John Thompson (1784) who opened a hotel a mile below Cogan Station. Samuel Reed built the first house in Hepburnville in 1800, which stood until 1874. It was the only house between Newberry and Trout Run. He was also the first teacher in the township. In the early 1800’s William Ball settled in the area now called Ball’s Mills. William built a fulling mill, clover mill, woolen factory, and a sawmill. His son Samuel built a grain cradle factory in 1867. During this same period, a tract of land in Loyalsock Township, called Hopewell, was obtained in 1792 by James Willits. It contained 422 acres.

    Extractions: Kimmel Cemetery, located west of Jonesboro, Ill., was transcribed by Darrel Dexter in the winter of 1997. It is probably the oldest cemetery in Union County. To my knowledge, it has the oldest legible marker in Union County, that of Jacob Woolf, who died in 1823. (The oldest marker in St. Johns Cemetery is dated 1828 and in Jonesboro Cemetery 1829.) Kimmel Cemetery is often called the "Old Dunkard Cemetery." The earliest members of the families buried there were connected to the Dunkard Church, or German Baptist Brethren. There was at one time a large Dunkard Colony south of Jonesboro, composed of Woolf, Hunsaker, Kimmel, Davis, Dougherty, Vancil, Wigle, Limbaugh and other families. They are in some ways similar to the Mennonites and were called "Dunkards," the German word for "dippers," because they baptized by dipping the person forward, face down, into the water three times. Jacob Woolf and George Davis, who died in 1816, were made the first deacons of the church in 1813 and George Woolf was chosen the pastor. In 1826, Charles Dougherty, the son of Charles and Elizabeth Woolf Dougherty, was ordained a Dunkard preacher in Union County. Between 1827 and 1831, most of the Dunkards left to settle in Adams Co., Ill. The last love feast was held by the Dunkards in Union County in 1836 at the home of Daniel Kimmel.

    Extractions: Jill Davidson: This afternoon's session is the community's, or outsider's, view of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. I add this point for someone who might not know. Clarence made reference to the Evangelical Mennonites. That's what we were called before we were called the Mennonite Brethren in Christ, and we were called other things, too. But that's who he means when he says Evangelical Mennonites. They became the Mennonite Brethren in Christ and later the Bible Fellowship Church. It's the same group. The early people, Father Gehman's crowd, they were first called the Evangelical Mennonites. Clarence: I hate to have a formal presentation after all those wonderful choruses and stories. I think we could probably do well to let all of you talk and tell your stories. My voice is getting poorer and poorer so I don't know how long I'm going to talk this afternoon. Maybe we'll turn it back to you. We were talking about the different names by which your denomination has been known. Of course, the original formal name was the Evangelical Mennonite Church. Daddy Gehman and his associates. "Daadi Gehman." They used to say that. "Daadi Gehman." After one merger, they became the Evangelical United Mennonite Church, and then the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. Those who were outside and didn't particularly like you called you such names as "holy rollers" and, in Pennsylvania Dutch, "Schtrawler Gemee", which literally means the strugglers, because sometimes in the throes of emotionalism, they seemed to be struggling or beating the air, at least, that's what those who were criticizing your people would have said.

    Extractions: Jill Davidson: Clarence was born and raised in Vernfield, which is just a few miles from Graterford. He lives in the same house today where he was born and raised. He is highly literate. You can tell that when you listen to him speak. He's well-read, a local historian. He is a co-founder of the Goshenhoppen Historians. Clarence was raised in the Indian Creek Church of the Brethren in Vernfield, but he is now a lay preacher at the Amwell Church of the Brethren in Sergeantsville, NJ. Clarence's mother was a friend of several daughters of "Rose Jelly" Jakie Moyer and it is from his mother's experience and acquaintance with the Moyer family that Clarence gets his stories about Jacob Moyer. Clarence: It's a great pleasure for me to be here. This is the first time in my life that I've been in this meetinghouse although my great-great-grandfather was here at the dedication in 1892. I'm going to tell you a little bit more about that in the second lecture of the day what his impressions were- the impressions of an old Dunkard in an Evangelical Mennonite Meetinghouse. I like what Ward Shelly had to say in the paper that he delivered on Jakie Moyer at our Delp Meetinghouse a few years ago. He said he embodies the Scripture, "He being dead, yet speaketh." Although he is gone all these many years, dying in 1914, when my mother was thirteen years old, all of his descendants embody many, many workers in the Lord's Kingdom: preachers, and missionaries, Gospel Workers. All represent that testimony, the witness that he left.

    http://www.keathleywebs.com/keathley/german.html
    
    Extractions: In 1792, four German brothers, John, Jacob, Joseph, and Daniel Keithley moved into Bourbon Co, Kentucky. There is some evidence that they were in western North Carolina in the 1780s, and family tradition places them in Pennsylvania at some earlier time. Supporting this is the fact that John was married to a Pennsylvania Dutch woman, Maryanne Riblen, and that the customary migration trail from Pennsylvania would have passed through the western part of North Carolina, and not the east. The Germans left a slim paper trail as they moved westward through Kentucky into Lawrence Co, Indiana about 1810. The existence of a fifth brother, Samuel, has been postulated for years, but no certain evidence has ever surfaced. These people were clearly German, as they read German Bibles and spoke German at home. While it is possible that they originally had roots in Medieval England (see below), it is more likely that they are not real Keithleys at all, but simply adopted the name. Etymologically speaking, there is no history of the name "Keithley" in the Germanic languages. There is evidence, in fact, that these Germans originally spelled their name "Kicheli". Whether that spelling is the Germanization of "Kygheley" (later Keighley), or a completely unrelated name, is not known. If it is unrelated, the use of the modern spelling "Keithley" is probably coincidental.

HOUCK, SR.: Placed in the scrapbook is a copy of a photo that is likely a picture of Joseph and Ann (Williams) Houck. This photo, along with a number of other family photos and documents, was given to Anne Wheeler (Melton) Ross by her father, Jesse Houck Melton, on his visit to California in 1959. According to Anne, Jesse told her who they were, but she no longer remembers. The picture was made using a photo imaging process called "Daguerrotype". This process was first made public in 1839 in France , and became quite popular in the 1840's and into the 1850's. Daguerrotype was replaced in the late 1850's by a less expensive "Ambrotype" process. Thus, the picture was probably made between 1845-1855.

    http://ktreemo.tripod.com/
    
    Extractions: In Europe, neither the Catholics nor the Lutherans wanted anything to do with the more fundamentalist sects, like Mennonites. Such "problem" people were often apparently asked to leave the country of their birth. At least, this was true of Switzerland. The Stauffer family, for example, was supposedly kicked out. They went to Germany (some probably went to Holland), possibly to the Krefeld area. In the late 1600s, William Penn toured Holland and parts of Germany, inviting the persecuted peoples to come to Philadelphia (Penn was a Quaker, you know). Many Germans/Dutch (whom Penn called "meine Hollander") took him up on the offer. The first organized group arrived in Philadelphia in 1683 and settled the area now known as Germantown. Penn and Franz Daniel Pastorius, a lawyer from Sommerhausen, met the ship when it arrived. Information provided by Linda Bauer of Boyertown PA Bobb Mill where Isaac Kummerer and Elizabeth Bobb met when Isaac came to work for Daniel Bobb. In 1744 Conrad Bopp purchased from Christain Beidler 100 acres of land and a grist and oil mil in what is now know as Forge Dale on Dale Forge in Washington Township, Berks County. He died intestaate but the mill continued to be operated by his oldest son Daniel until 1774 when Daniel bought it, continuing its operation until 1827, when he sold it to his son Daniel. The Bopp mill is about 1/2 mile above Barto on the north barnch of the Perkiomen (see Cyclopedia of Montgomery Couujnty by H. W. Ruoloff, 1895). When this mill was in need of enlargement or repair, the man secured was Isaac Gumry, who worked all winter (1792-1794) living at the Bopp home. In the spring he married the oldest daughter, Elisabeth.
