  • The Geology of Switzerland Township, Monroe County, Ohio1
    THE OHIO JOURNAL OF SCIENCE VOL. LIU JANUARY, 1953 No. 1 THE GEOLOGY OF SWITZERLAND TOWNSHIP, MONROE COUNTY, OHIO1 THOMAS ARKLE, JR.2 Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological Survey, Columbus 10 The aim of this report is twofold. It is primarily an attempt to summarize the geologic events that transpired in the past as interpreted from the exposed rocks in Switzerland Township, the Ohio River valley, and in the broader region of Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Secondly, this report summarizes the structural and economic geology of Switzerland Township and immediate environs. HISTORY AND ECONOMIC SETTING OF SWITZERLAND TOWNSHIP In April 1819, ten German and Swiss families embarked on a flat boat on the Aar River enroute to Berne, Switzerland, and thence on the Rhine to Antwerp, Belgium. After 48 days aboard the Eugenius, a French vessel bound for New York, they landed at Amboy, New Jersey. Six families purchased teams for the overland trek to Wheeling, West Virginia. At the mouth of Captina Creek at the present site of Powhatan Point, Ohio, they found two Pennsylvania Dutch men who informed them that there was plenty of government land in Monroe County, Ohio. On September 15, Father Tischer and part of his band continued down river 15 miles to Bare's Landing, Ohio Township, and the remainder settled in the hills above Powhatan Point. Switzerland Township, an area of about 28 square miles, was organized by the latter group January 1, 1827. These early settlers selected a small portion of the maturely dissected Allegheny Plateau (fig. 1) as the site for their new home.

  • Captain John Baker Was Stated to Have Been Born in Bingen-On-The-Rhine,1 Germany in 1737 and His Original Surname May Have Been Becher
    CAPTAIN JOHN BAKER 1 CAPTAIN JOHN BAKER 2 CAPTAIN JOHN BAKER 3 CAPTAIN JOHN BAKER 4 CAPTAIN JOHN BAKER Captain John Baker was stated to have been born in Bingen-on-the-Rhine,1 Germany in 1737 and his original Surname may have been Becher. Bingen-on-the-Rhine is in the Rhine-Hessen region of the present day state of Rhineland-Palatinate. This was part of the older Palatinate area of Germany and a location of great unrest for centuries. In some references Captain Baker was listed as coming from Prussia that was the largest state in “Germany” at the time. Researcher Uwe Porten of Germany could not find any reference to the Becher (Baker) in his search of church records in Bingen-on-the-Rhine, Ober- Ingelheim, and Gensingen. The Protestants living in Bingen-on-the-Rhine during the 1700’s worshiped in the later two towns. Ober-Ingelheim had a Protestant church from 1650 and Gensingen had a Protestant church from 1660. 2 Bingen-on-the-Rhine was mostly Roman Catholic and the Baker family was Protestant in the United States and thus was probably Protestant in Germany.3 Germany, as we now know it, was formed in 1871. The author believes that Captain John Baker was from further south in the Palatinate region. There is a very high probability that he was German Lutheran, Dunkard or Mennonite. Many of his children became members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The Baker family was associated closely with the Reager and Wetzel families. The Reager family was from Switzerland.

Both books were produced by the Archives & History Ministry Team of the Western Pennsylvania Conference of The United Methodist Church. See the INTRODUCTION to the latter named book for a brief history of The Advocate. Our sincere appreciation is expressed to Betty Anne Stroup, A & H Secretary and Genealogist, who expended innumerable hours reading the microfilm from which these records were obtained. In compiling this material Betty Anne confined her searches to the marriages and deaths which were reported and published for the years 1834 through 1855. The microfilm was made available by Pelletier Library, Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania. All pertinent data have been included for more than 3,000 deaths. Generally, names of persons and places are spelled as they were found in the original. A Surname Index and some Sample Records supplement the alphabetically arranged records. We express thanks also for the assistance of William Waybright, A & H Archivist, as well as to Naomi Horner and David Grinnell, Ministry Team members. Helen G.
