FOREWORD

Many years ago, the author became interested in collecting the history of his mother's family, and after much time and research, and quite a bit of expense, the author now presents this completed work before the public. I wish to thank all of the various kinsfolk who assisted me in any way, and I especially wish to thank the ones who have already contributed for their patience. Especially do I wish to thank Cousin Charles Heiner (173b) of East Berlin Township, York County, Pennsylvania, who was so kind to advise with me and let me have access to his notes, which consisted of the family of Henry Heiner ( 4e), and his brother's and sister's and the family of Frederick Heiner -( 4f).. Also, I wish to thank Dr. Alfred Jaeger, of Munich, Germany and those who assisted him in his research. Also, some of the statements were based on information given by Wolfgang Menzel, in his "Germany," Vol. I.L If any errors occur, I wish to apologize for them, and say that I am sure they occurred in copying from one set of notes to another. The Author

0- ORIGINS According to Heintz, the German name Heiner, Ryner, Hayner, Hoenir, Huner, Reinard, Hanner, Hohenir, etc., is possibly derived from the word "Haginer" which means "master of a hedged-in dwelling" which indicated a farmer or landholder. Pott, another authority, groups it with "Reinert, Reinhardt, etc., meaning "strong as a hedge." Such a title might have been given one of tp.e early Heiner ancestors for some outstanding deed, perform­ ance, or characteristic, and there is the possibility that the Coat­ of-Arms could have been a,varded for some such deed. Should we desire to go into mythology for the name, we find that Hoenir, spelled practically the same, ,vas one of the Aesir and a brother of Odin, and assisted him in the creation of the first man and woman, Ask and Embla. In the name "Huner" the "ii" is the German umalat and has an "ue" sound. The correct pronunciation of the name is "Haner." It is highly possible that the family had its earliest origins near Heinersdorf, Saxony, which place could have been named for the family. Ho-\vever, even though the root word is found in Saxony under various spellings, there is no definite proof that this is a fact. According to research by Dr. H. Meissert of Linnich, near Aachen, there was a family of nobility from the old County of Valkenberg, known as von Hoen. Because the name Huner or Honer comes from "Hoen" (the "oe" pronounced as "u"), the dimunitive being added ,vould make it Hoener or Hiner. This family was of the Protestant Faith, as a result -.of the Reforma­ tion, and were residents in the predominately Catholic Duchy of Julich, and the name ,vas probably changed for confessional rea­ sons, and Leonhart Huner might have gone from this predomi­ nately Catholie Duchy of Julich to Weinheim, Kurpfalz, Germany, a predominately Protestant Country. The fact that Johannes Heener (Hainer or Heiner) who was from Birsen, Sovereignty of Ostenbach and who first settled near Rhinebeck, N. Y. in 1720 (Birsen or Virsen being in the Lower Rhine Valley and in the same vicinity), would tend to locate the place from whence the Reiners of Ne,v York originated. The records of Weinheim suffered severely in the disturbances leading to the Thirty Years War and in that war, and many of the citizenship records among them, hence it is difficult to ascertain the point of origin of the ancestors of Leon­ hart Huner. However, we can conclude that they came from this part also, and originally from Saxony, where the name main­ tained its original spelling. The various changes ,:vere probably the result of local pronunciations. The main difficulty in tracing the direct line was due to the fact that the familv never staved in any one place over t,vo or three generations. ~- ~ 6 Coats-of-Arms were bestowed upon persons by the Emperor, as a result of heroic achievement, or sale; later by the Princes of the various states; and in most cases the Coats-of-..Arms of citizens were chosen by them, though some were granted to them. The Heiner Coat-of-Arms is found in the "Wappenbuch" by Siem­ bacher, and is the only one found, and is found in the section allotted to Saxony. Inasmuch as Siembacher does not designate which Heiner family carried the shield, nor at what time, every Heiner family is entitled to the use of this Coat-of-Arms, accord­ ing to research by Dr.... .:\.lfred Jaeger of Mfinch en, Germany. Each of the nations of Germany originally had two colors i:ato which the shield was divided, one the ground color and the other the figure represented upon it. The colors were the same in every fam­ ily belonging to the same nation, the figures alone varying. French shields were white and red; Swabians, red and yellow; Bavarians, white and blue; and Saxons, black and white. However, the rapid succession of different reigning fan1ilies and the intermixture ancl exchange of feudal possessions was productive of great confusion in the ancient colors of the four principal nations of Germany. In the Heiner Arms, the golden cock in the lower half of the shield . on a green so-called Dreiberg (Three Hills) is exactly the same position as the three branches of the rose in the upper half of the shield. The three hills might be indicative of the ancient residence of the Reiners. However this may be, the first authentic record of the family is that of Leonhart Huner of Weinheim. As said before, it is presumed that he came from the vicinity of Jiilich and the lower Rhine country, and because of the fact that Herman Goessgens, a prominent citizen of Weinheim, who came from the Duchy of Julich, was godfather of Herman Huner, might be said to substantiate this idea. An interesting item arises because the early Htiners of Wein­ heim were physicians ( or barbers), and after a lapse of many gen­ erations, various members of the family are again fallowing this profession.

Leonhart Huner, died in Weinheim, Kurpfalz, Germany about 1597. He married Agatha (Schneider?) in Weinheim, and had issue. As previously stated he possibly came from the Duchy of Julich, or the lower Rhine country, with Herman Goessgens who is believed to have been the godfather of Herman Huner ( 1). The following items are found concerning her: (1) Wehrbuch I, page 391, dated November 11, 1597 mentions the house of the widow as the neighbor's house of Lorenz Hodt and Heinrich Hammelbach. (2) Wehrbuch I, page 550, dated Oct. 9, 1598, looking back to the year 1595, reads: "Vester Schneider and wife, Martha, sells to her brother and brother-in-law, Michael Schneider and wife, Petronella, one-half morgen of a vineyard in Wolff. On the one side, Hans Hennen and on the other side the buyer himself." There is pledged against the Schaffnerei W einheim, 25 gulden redeemable Hellergelds. Leonhart Hiiner's widow, Agatha, put up 5 gulden and the seller's son, George Schneider, 20 gulden.? Otherwise interest free and proper. About 115 gulden. Happened in Anno 1595. Placed in Wehrschafft on Oct. 9, 1598. (3) Leonhart Htiner's widow, Agatha, sells Anno 98 Ascen­ tionis Domini to the Honorable Georg Schneider and wife, Magdalena, one fourth of a vineyard in Wolff? of Asmus Hammelbach, on the other side Hans Fischer Maurer. Interest is one bucket of wine from the Schaffnerei Wein­ heim and the 25 gulden redeemable Hellergelds pledged against the Schaffenerei. Sale made for 20 gulden. The buyer to pay 20 gulden and the seller to contribute another 5 gulden and so pay off the 25 gulden pledged against the Schaffnerei. Placed in W ehrschafft Oct. 9, ano 1598. ( 4) Wehrbuch II, page 412, Lorentz Hodt sells to Sylvester Schneider his lodging in the Large Quarter, on the one side young Leonhart Schmidt, on the other side Leonhart Htiner's widow.

SAMUEL PO'f'f S POIN'TER, l?A'fHER OF REBECCA POINTER, WIFF, OF "FREDERIC!~ I--IINER ( 4f) Between Sherburn 1\1:ills and Upper Blue Licks, on the river, about 3 miles from Sherburne. Born Loudon Co., "\Tirginia, 1769, 5 years old ,vhen I cade to Brownsville. Lived there 15 years, or thereabouts. Came to Kentucky first in November, 1788. There was one hewed log house, at that time, in Washington. Old Daniel Peck lived in it. But there v1as a heap of cabins. Also but one hewed log house in Lexington, a s,vearing man livedthere, nameforgotten. I think he rented the house. Was in Lexington, time of Harmar's Campaign. If I should have gotten $2.00 more, I would have gone. A fell ow that stood by listening as we made our bargain said he would take vvhat Charles Landers was offering me to go as his substitute. It was 13 miles from Lo,ver Blue Licks to first house toward Lexington. One Smith lived there. Kept liquor. Hunters from Lex­ ington, that ,vent out to hunt, put up there. Had pack horses with them to carry the wild meat on. Masterson's Station was 15 miles to the right of Lexington. Christmas eve, 1788, the snow fell nearly one-half leg deep. That night ,ve stayed there. The next day the sun shined warm, and in two days it was all gone. I made my home at Crossplain's, Boone's old station. John Hen­ rvs, Jno. Bledsoe (Bletcher, we called him), old Robert Franks, Rd. Cheney, and Geo. Shnup, a one-handed man, ,vas in that neigh­ borhood. Henry and Chaney I had known up in Virginia. The sta­ tion ,vas evacuated, but these men I have named, kept arms. There was no station there any more. Daniel Boone~ at this time, was living at Boonesborough. My father wanted (Daniel Boone) me to come and live with him, and I wouldn't. I had a step-mother. My grandfather had raised me. So I came off do,vn to Chaney's and Henry's at the Crossplains. I went with this Henry through Lexington to Masterson's. It was peace then about Lexington and Crossplains, but not to the right of Lexington about Masterson's. Every f e,v ,veeks troubles broke out about there. The Irish Station was 3 miles this side of Millersburgh. Became a Station afterwards. Only this family living there as I first came. Had settled out on a/c of the ranch. Cane was plenty there. I got in one Elijah

18 Phillip's boat, coming down at Wheeling. As I came along, leaving Limestone, I had left 5 or 6 wagons behind at the L B L. I had been with them the day and also the night before. They traveled so slow I wouldn't stay with them. I started on as soon as I could see. Five miles on, just as the sun got to the top of the trees, I saw 3 guns with their muzzles pointed over a log that had been cleared out of the road and lay close by the roadside] I looked for Indians, but couldn't see any. I kept my eye directed to them and passed on. When I had passed, I saw about 20 steps from that log, 3 Indians behind some brush eating. Saw them from their shoul­ ders up. I passed on about a 100 yards to a turn in the road, and then went on faster and faster till I got to Smith's. Smith said no hunters had been out there yet, but Indians had been about there a day or 2 before. Old Col. McDowell said these 3 Indians took me to be a spy. If I had turned back they would have shot me at once. If I had turned they would have sunposed there was dan­ ger before. Never heard more of those 3 Indians. I lived at F. Smith's near Boone's Station. I had know him in Pennsylvania. I ,vorked with Eli Cleveland, harvesting, 10 days, 1789. He lived at the mouth of Boone Creek. Had hounds to hunt. Cleveland lived in a neck. Had a place posted to keep in deer. If anybody went in to shoot they would set the dogs on them. 'Twas said the dogs were dangerous. but they never troubled me. Cleveland was rich, rich! 'Twas said he hadn't slept with his wife for 14 years. Major Netherland's I knew nothing of. There was word every few days from C. to Lexington that if anybodv wanted to go up to meet him at Limestone ( to P.) Stron, a Can't that lived down about C. ( Cap't Strong) not at for there were onlv the 2 fami­ lies there, they were living near the river. Cau't. John Bartletts and Capt. Benkhans when I went down. l\1v business was with them, as the Cant's. It vvas to get loading for one Mr. McDaniel that lived at Washington, and kent a little grocery there. Two log cabins were between the fort and the river. Harmar's troons were there then .Bartlett and Benham had gotten from the Indians, SOO bear skins, 50 dress-patterns of deer-skins, besides the 5 horses loads of skins and furs. McDaniels was ta1 dng- them to PhUadelnhia to pay a debt. McDaniel moved over by Chillacothe and McArthur married a (Genl. McArthur) daughter of hi~. (Genl) sent word to be readv at Maysville by the 15th day of March. 1791. I got down to Maysville on the 11th. "\Vhen. I got down there, Strong ,vas there. Said he could not provide for anvmore. (Maysville was then called the Point of Limestone.) He had 53. The boat couldn't hold all that he then had with the loading. I don't know what it was loaded with. Mr. Forscythe that I had knov,n in Pennsylvania had gotten in the cast. Strong's said my company he would be glad of. If I had had provision I could have gone. I came out to Washington to one Benjamin Roebuck's to get meat and bread pro- visions. I worked and got a ham and a loaf bread. It rained won­ derfully over night, the night of the 14th and I couldn't get down till the 15th ; 2 o'clock. Jacob and Mathew Boone were then both living in Limestone. Jacob Boone told me he knew the boat was 5 miles up the river. I never could hear of another boat to start till June. Worked for Roebuck a month on Tom Marshall's place; and for John Young, that lived in Washington (covering a house and kitchen that joined to it. I then went down to Citi for Mc­ Daniels and after we had gotten back awhile, started up the river on the 9th of June. This was the first boat that \vent up after Strong's. His boat and this last boat were keels. Strong's boat only got 8 miles above the mouth of the Sciota, the boat came down back again. Twenty-five of the 53 were out on the bank, 23 of these were killed. The other three were ahead as spies, and got back to Washington. There was then no settlement on the Ohio above Bill Brooks. It was all a wilderness to the mouth of the Sciota. That day week, after the boat started, it came back. Eight days after. I think it ,:vas Sunday they started and Sunday they got back. They returned in a day, next morning-having gone down all night. The river was high and they had gone (very high) up slow. Dick-an Irishman, was wounded in the boat and the only one in the boat hurt. The bullet sunk just below his ear (think his left ear) was just buried in his neck. It was thought there were 300 Indians. They shouted, and made a great noise. William Huey, John Barker and James Stafford, that were along, were 3 that had been out in Harmar's Campaign. Mr. Huey jumped on an Indian, that shot a white man in the river. The boat had had to go close to shore, so they could touch bottom in poling. Huey shot 4 times after he shot the Indian in the head, making in all 5 times, before another man rose up in the boat, and didn't know what execution he did after the last fire. The place was in a little narrow bottom, about 50 yards being before (place) any raised ground appeared. P. 20. Dunkard's empties into the Monongahela, where I was viz. at Woriey's.

JAl\IES HINER (7a) James Hiner was born Dec. 23, 1823 between Poplar Plaina and Plummer's Mills, Fleming Co., Ky., and died Jan. 10, 1883 in Gran­ bury, Texas and is buried in the Acton Cemtery. He spent his early days in Fleming Co., Ky. and in 1841 sold his personal prop­ erty. He arrived i.n Texas in the year 1843 and settled on the frontier in what was then Robertson Co., but later became Na­ varro County in 1846. In 1847 he joined the Methodist Con­ ference and served stations in Navarro and Johnson Counties, 1847- 1861; assigned to the Acton Circuit 1871-1873 : Weatherford Cir­ cuit, 1873-1875; and Granbury Circuit, 1875-1878; superannuated in 1878 because of ill health. All the territory composing these circuits extended on both sides of the Brazos from George's Creek to Sanchez and included Wade Channel, Kickanoo~ Long, and Fall Creeks, and as this territory wa~ expo~ed to Indian invasion, he found it necessary to arm himself with Winchester and six shooter ac;; ,vell as Bible and Hymn Book. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he recruited a company at Camn Henderson, near Cleburne, Texas, for the Confederate Army, a11.d in 1862 recruited another company and was made its captain. This company made forced marches to the scene of the war in Arkansas, during which march he became incapacitated for service and was honorably discharged. The remainder of the war he served as a. collector of tithes and clothing. After the Civil War, he removed ,vith the countv site from Old Buchannan to Cleburne, where he served by aupointment and later by election as County Judge of Johnson County, Texas, which of­ fice he held until his removal to Acton in 1871. While at Cleburne, he served as first Worshipful Master of the Cleburne Iviasonic Lodge and donated the property upon which the lodge hall was located. In 1867 he held a noted revival in Cleburne, assisted by Rev. Ben D. Austin. Upon his superannuation he was elected Coun­ ty Judge of Hood County, Texas from 1878-1880, and County Clerk from 1880 to Jan. 10, 1883, the date of his death. When the Granbury College was organized, Rev. Hiner was in­ strumental in getting the approval of the District Conference of 1875, and served on the Board of Trustees until his death. In 1889 this college was transferred to Weatherford, Texas and became

61 Weatherford Junior College, though Granbury College continued to operate many years thereafter. Judge Hiner studied law \Yhile residing at Buchannan and had been licensed to practice to a limited extent, and though never brilliant, vet when the occasion called forth his powers he was always found equal thereto. He served as one of the defendant's counsel in the trial of Capt. V·{. G. Veal before theA nnual Con­ ference of the Methodist Church in Ft. Worth, where he acquitted himself in such a manner as to draw the encumiuns well merited from his brethren and friends. He married first to Miss Paralee Williams in Navarro County, Texas, about 1849, and had issue. She died and he married secondly to Martha Margaret Abney on Nov. 4, 1859, and had issue. He also was Worshipful Master of Acton Masonic Lodge; and Worshipful Master of Granbury Masonic Lodge. RE,~. RORERT HINER (7b)

HERl\IAN Hl.JNER (I)

Herman Huner \vas the son of Leonhart Huner and Agatha Schneider? and was born about 1590 and died June 19, 1654 in Weinheim, Kurpfalz, Germany. He was a barber or physician and surgeon, and the following items are found concerning him: (1) Testament Register, Book II, page 252: On August 25, 1625, Herman Huner, barber, is remembered in the Testament of Hans Philipp Orth, who is ill with the pest in Hiiner's home and is remembered with a loan of four Reichsthaler because the testator needed him in his illness. (2) "Testament Register," Book I, page 247: The Honorable Herman Huner, barber, appears as a witness in a settlement of a fortune of Wolf Greber. Set for Aug. 12, 1625. (3) "Testament Register, Book II, page 270: Herman Huner

62 or Hohner is witness to the marriage ceremony of his wid­ owed mother-in-law, Margaretha, wido,v of Leist, with George Behr, March 5, 1625. (4) "Testament Register," Book II, page 270: Herman Huner is witness to the testament of Mrs. Margarete Heilman, October 6, 1634. ( 5) "Testament Register," Book II, page 290, Herman Huner is witness to the marriage of Hans Rutz with the wido,v of Peter Kuntzel, January 15, 1626.

OR'fLEIB (OR'l'LEPP)

In his work "Germany," \Volfgang Menzel points out that by the middle of the 14th Century, or at the height of the Middle Ages, the Graf or Count in the ancient Gau, no longer stood at the head of free-born men and equals, though he still exercised the Office of Penal Judicature (Zentgraf or Zentgrafen) and bore the banner, the highest command during war, and these had been heredity in his family. Also, the emperor, as a means of raising revenue, bestowed titles by sale, and as a result there existed numbers of counts who were neither provincial nor popular judges. During this time, also, the \veaker families v;ere attacked and par­ tially ruined by more powerful neighbors and reduced to submis­ sion, and in order to continue free, many of them became inhab­ itants of the cities, as was also the case of the free peasantry. From the fact that the Office of Penal Judicature (Zentgraffen) was exercised generation after generation by the Ortlepp Family, we may conclude that thev were members of the provincial nobil- ~ - ity. The word "von" was not a title of nobility, but could be used by anyone to designate his country, village, or family, hence we could either use it or not use it to designate the members of this family, as Heintz von Ortlepp "the Elder," if we so desire. With

63 the exception of three generations, when one branch of the family was resident in Leuterhausen, the family lived in and near Schries­ heim and were of the provincial nobility (Zentgraf) of the domin­ ion of Strahlenberg, which includd Schriesheim to about 15.20. 1. Heintz von Ortlieb "the Elder" was born about 1310 and lived near Schriesheim; married about 1535 and had: 2.

Weigold Ortlepp, born about 1470 in Leuterhausen and re­ turned to Schriesheim about 1500 ( evidently the Office of Penal ~Judicature had become open to his line again); married into the influential family of Bersich and had: 7a. ------(son), probably Chief of Penal Judicature (Zentgraf) . 7b. Hans (John) Ortlepp, born about 1503 in Schriesheim, and died about 1551; manager of the Courtyard of the Augustiner Monastery; married Margaretha ------about 1525 and had: 8.

Agatha Pfrang, married Leonhart Muller, of Weinheim, and had issue. See Muller. ANTHIS

The name Anthis was used by the brothers, Philipp and ______Anthis, which was the given name of their father, as the family name, as is found from many references in Wehr Book I (bes. page 691). Their father always referred to himself as Anthis or Antonius Bender. Since Bender at that time was the customary designation for one working in coopery, it can be assumed that it was not a real family name but that the family through several generations, and always in one branch carried the occupational designation "Bender" as the main name. 1. Anthis Bender "the Elder" belonged to the Council in Wein-

65 heim in 1563 and is last mentioned in 1566, in vv hich year he prob­ ablv died. He married and had: i.

HEINER J?AlV[IL Y OF NEW YORK

The ancestor of this family was Johannes Heener (Hayner, Hainer, or Heiner), who was from Birsen, Sovereignty of Osten­ bach, Germany and who first settled near Rhinebeck, N. Y., and

68 signed an article to remain on the Livingston Manor in 1720. In 1748 he purchased land in Duchess County, N. Y., where the name is signed as Johannes Hainer; and later he went to Renssellear County, N. Y., where he bought land on which the town of Hay­ nersville stands today. This is a very small place with just a few houses and a small tavern. In 1776 Johannes Hayner had a license to sell beer, wine and spiritous liquors granted by the Mayor of the City of Albany, Abraham C. Cuyer. On July 27, 1710 he mar­ ried Catherine Mussier and had three sons, of which there is record: 1. John Heiner, Jr. 2. Samuel Heiner, born at East Camp, N. Y., married Rebecca Feller of Rhinebeck, N. Y. and three sons and three daughters, four of them marrying. 3. Jacob Heiner, born 1734 and is supposed to have died young. These items are found in "Fellows History of the Hudson River Valley." There was also a Philip Heiner, who was supposed to have been a son of Johannes Heener, but no definite proof of this. There was a Philip Heiner who married Eve Trever (Dryver) and their children were: Anna Heiner, born Nov. 18, 1764; Philip Heiner, Jr., baptized Feb. 5, 1767; Petrus Heiner, born March 25, 1770.
