Lecture! [n.s., n.d.] Isabella Baumfree (Sojourner Truth) was born in 1797 on the Colonel Johannes Hardenbergh estate in Swartekill, Ulster County, a Dutch settlement in upstate New York. She spoke only Dutch until she was sold from her family around the age of nine. In 1829, Baumfree met Elijah Pierson, an enthusiastic religious reformer who led a small group of followers in his household called the “Kingdom.” She became the housekeeper for this group, and was encouraged to preach among them. Robert Matthias, also known as Matthias the Prophet, eventually took control of the group and instituted unorthodox religious and sexual practices. The “Kingdom” ended in public scandal. On June 1, 1843, Baumfree adopted the sobriquet Sojourner Truth. Unsoured by her experience in the “Kingdom” she joined the Northampton Association of Education and Industry in Massachusetts. This anti-slavery, pro-women’s rights group lived communally and manufactured silk. After the Northampton Association disbanded in 1846 Truth became involved with the Progressive Friends, an offshoot of the Quakers. Truth began her career in public speaking during the 1850s.

  • William Penn's Experiment in Religious Freedom
    BIBLIOGRAPHIC ESSAY William Penn’s Experiment in Religious Freedom: Resources Documenting the Colonial Religious Experience at the State Library of Pennsylvania by Iren Light Snavely ot long after his arrival in Pennsylvania in late November, 1742, it dawned on Lutheran Pastor Henry Muhlenberg that he was no longer in his native Prussia. The ecclesiastical norms and expectations of the European continent, a state church with prebends and mandatory tithes, had no meaning here. When Nhe arrived at New Hanover, Pennsylvania with an official letter of introduction from the religious authorities of the University of Halle to take charge of the Lutheran congregation there, some parishioners took “offense at the salary mentioned in . the letter.” Others complained that “they would not allow themselves to be deceived again. [W]ho knew whether I had not written the letters myself?” He found he could expect no help from the “deacons and elders . , for in religious and church matters each has the right to do what he pleases. The government has nothing to do with it and will not concern itself with such matters.”1 Muhlenberg’s story illustrates a surprising point made by author Dietmar Rothermund in his book The Layman’s Progress, namely, that William Penn’s “Holy Experiment” actually lacked a “central religious concern.” “The holiness of this experiment rested on the principle of formal and guaranteed religious tolerance rather than . any positive and definite plan.” As a result, a diverse mixture of English Quakers, German and Scots-Irish church groups, German sectarians and radical separatists settled freely throughout the province.

  • Why Did They Leave Wittgenstein? Pre-Dreisbach Emigrants
    DERR, Vol. 1, no. 7, 15 December 2013 1 WHY DID THEY LEAVE WITTGENSTEIN? PRE-DREISBACH EMIGRANTS People have always moved from their native lands, in particular when the reasons for leaving and the possibility of doing so coincided. Before the opening of North America to settlement from abroad, such persons would have gone to neighboring territories, or possibly other European regions, or even joined some foreign military force. Wittgensteiners were no exception. Rather surprisingly, when thousands of hopeful German-speaking families converged on London in the years 1709-1710, seeking to find passage to the New World, no Wittgensteiners are known to have been among them. Or if so, they left no record; with one possible exception. Arnold Hoefnagel (Arndt Huffnagel), the first recorded Wittgensteiner on North American soil? In the marriage records of the Dutch Reformed congregation in New York, previously New Amsterdam, we find that on 31 November 1712 Arnold Hoefnagel from "Wittenstyn" and Sarah Kleyn from "Manheym" were married, after having registered on 17 November to have the banns read out at the Sunday services.1 The church records were of course kept in Dutch, but the couple's places of origin are recognizable as Wittgenstein and the city of Mannheim on the Rhine, rather far south of Wittgenstein. We can only conjecture in what circumstances they may have met. This Arnold Hoefnagel, actually Johann Arndt Huffnagel of Laasphe, eventually settled in Pennsylvania. He evidently maintained ties with his brother, Johann Christian Huffnagel, back in Wittgenstein. A document in the Princely Archive in Laasphe shows that in 1723, Johann Christian had informed the co-regents, Counts Henrich Albrecht and August, of his intention to deal equitably with his brother Johann Arndt in Pennsylvania, in an inheritance settlement.2 This archival document provides us with a Laasphe background for the New York bridegroom of 1712.

  • Johann Zadam Qruber Pennsylvania-German Prophet and ^Poet
    Johann zAdam Qruber Pennsylvania-German Prophet and ^Poet OHANN ADAM GRUBER (1693-1763) is one of the least-known figures of colonial Pennsylvania, yet he played a significant role J among the German element in the religious history of the first half of the eighteenth century. He was a prolific writer and poet and had numerous works published both in Europe and America. Before coming to Pennsylvania in 1726 he was a prominent leader in the unusual religious movement known as the Community of True In- spiration. This group later migrated to the New World where it established the well-known Amana Community in Iowa, one of the longest-lived and most successful of the many American religious communitarian experiments. In a recent study of Pennsylvania- German poetry Gruber has been called the "most important unat- tached religious leader in Colonial Pennsylvania/' and in all prob- ability the most gifted of the German poets, excepting only the talented but enigmatic leader of the Ephrata Community, Conrad Beissel.1 Johann Adam Gruber was born in the Duchy of Wurttemberg in 1693, the only son of a Lutheran clergyman, Eberhard Ludwig Gruber (1665-1728).2 After losing a position in Grossbottwar (be- 1 John Joseph Stoudt, Pennsylvania German Poetry, 1685-1830 (Allentown, Pa., 1956), lxiii, 30.

Doren, Ph.D. Interim Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education and Dean of the Graduate College ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My most ardent and heartfelt thanks belongs to my advisor, Linda Eaton, who gave me unmitigated enthusiasm and constructive feedback throughout this process regardless of her own time commitments. Without her generosity, words of advice, and willingness to connect me with her vast network of textilians, this thesis would look very different. Linda advocated always for the value in making as a form of scholarly inquiry, and I plan to take that confidence in approach with me in my work beyond Winterthur. A generous grant from the University of Delaware’s Center for Material Culture Studies allowed me to begin my thesis research in the most hands-on way: learning to operate an eighteenth-century knitting frame and producing stocking-gauge fabric and patterning at the Framework Knitters Museum in Ruddington, England.
