Plea;se paste this sheet on the blank side of the frontispiece portrait of Mrs. La Mance. After the first thirteen chapters were off the press and the next twelve chapters pretty well set up, a perfect avalanche of data poured in. The book had to be out on contract time. The Author fell and broke her right shoulder. In spite of her pain she dictated changes to a stenographer. On account of the short ness of time and her inability to use her arm, the proofreader, 250 miles away, had to see to making these changes. Under these circumstances several mistakes were made. Chapter XIV, Page 69, the proofreader jumbled the More head record somewhat. Chapter XVI, Page 73, the surname Kleppinger in the same way was sometimes given as Kepplinger. Chapter XX, Page 102, Messer and Secrist names were mixed. Miss Sipes sent in the data of Catherine Waltman, Page 103, who married Alexander Sipes. It was promptly sent in, but it was too late for insertion. In this same unfortunate Chap ter XX, Rev. W. V. Waltman sent first the particulars of his own immediate family. Later he sent in the lines of his six brothers and sisters, Edgar C., John Ambrose, Charles G., Bert William, Margaret C., and Ruby E., Waltman. This was lost in the mail and never was received. By inserting a page of the same size of the book, and pasting the inner edge in securely, there will be an additional leaf right where it is needed. On it make the corrections and additions. Page 215, tenth line from the bottom, erase the words, "Georgetown, Pa." Page 216, second line from the bottom, should . read, "A widow for fifteen years." Page 217, second line from the top, erase, "He died young," as the party named is still alive.

THE HOUSE OF \VALTMAN

A FOREWORD ABOGT THE WALTMA~;s

"vV e be brethren,"-Genesis, xiii, 8

EARLY every \,Valtman is a descendant of one Valentine \Valdman, a surname that in a little over a hundred years became \Valtman. N Valentine Waldman was born in Alsace, where his father, a Spanish Conte (count) was in charge of Spain's interests in that buffer coun try that Louis XIV of France coveted and eventually by treachery secured. His father was assassinated, the boy was smuggled over the border to save his life, and adopted by Count Frundsberg who gave him the name of Walt man to conceal his identity from Louis XIV. Valentine died on his wife's estates in Bavaria about 1750. His only heir, Conrad Waltman, came to Philadelphia October 25, 1738. From him the most of the \Valtmans come. There are three other lines that now write their name as Waltman. They are recorded in the Allied Families section of this book. One of them is a Jewish family, not at all numerous. We have ourselves talked with repre sentatives of this line and know that they have no connection with the main Waltman family. Toward 150 years ago Germany compelled all Jews to adopt a surname. This name was chosen then because "it sounded well," and for no other reason. The other two lines may be or may not be related to each other. They are not of the Valentine \Valtman blood. The Baltimore line came a little after 175 O, first to Baltimore and then to Philadelphia. The Emanuel lines, two of them of the same general family, came drifting along from Ger many; a family of a grandfather Emanuel, his sons and a grandson or nephew, from 1767 to 1771, and another Emanuel who went to Virginia. From Emanuel of Philadelphia came three sons. Their line is all that we know of that family. The records show that Emanuel died "advanced in years," October 4, 1808, and was buried i,n "St. Mary's old ground," near Philadelphia. Some of the Emanuel line emphatically deny this, but rec ords officially made at the time are pretty hard to uptrip. The family traditions that have been handed down, of the Valentine \Valtman line, embrace these factors: ( 1) That both the Countess Barbara and her father, Count Hiram, were each the last one and the only one of the generation. (2) That the family was a very wealthy one. (3) That it was a scholarly line with poets and writers in it, and one of these author ancestors was a Barbara, in a day when women authors were about as scarce as roses in winter in a Minnesota garden, and another such ancestor was a Conrad. ( 4) In the ancestral line were generals and famous soldiers. ( 5) That this family were close followers of Martin Luther himself. ( 6) That they suffered terribly in the Thirty Years' War, only one male being left alive, and he a child. (7) That they lived in Bavaria near the Black Forest, and also near Alsace and its capital, Strassburg. ( 8) That Valentine, the first \~faltman, was of the purest Castilian (Spanish) blood, and of a high 2 title if he had had his just rights. ( 9) That his father was the victim of foul play and political plotting, and that the child was kidnapped by his father's friends in Alsace and smuggled across the border into Bavaria. ( 10) That there he was adopted by a count whose only daughter he afterwards married. ( 11 ) That Waltman was a "made-up" name to conceal the child's real identity. ( 12) That in some war or treaty after a war, Valentine lost his estates and title. No one person had all of this. Valentine, the younger, at one time had the papers that proved much of this. They were burned in 1873, but the general contents were pretty well known both to Valentine's daughters and to his grandchildren. The author herself, in her teens, lived for a time at her grandfather's, Valentine3, who knew more of the family history than anyone else. Her own mother was a young lady in her teens while Andrew Waltman2 was alive, and living in her father's home, and heard him re hearse the history of the first Valentine Waltman, his own grandfather. It was not so far back, after all. We have found in a twenty-five years' research that every one of these traditions were true. Now a coincidence or two is not remarkable, but four or five coincidences, eight or nine, and then the whole ten and twelve, IS remarkable. Of course, Andrew2 was familiar with the fly-leaves' records that were in the big old Bible and that he had read many a time when he was a boy and a grown youth. He was seventeen when the records were de stroyed, and he was the youngest of thirteen. \Vith those familiar records in the background of the rememb:-ance of thirteen sons and daughters, it is explainable why the family traditions were so true to facts. The author started out to run each tradition down to earth and find if it had any and what solid foundation. The fragments of an old document in the Bible helped. German and Bavarian history helped. Our own Mother's remarkable, phenomenal memory of what her grandfather told her, and that she repeated over and over to her interested daughter, was the greatest help of all. Every statement has proven true. In spite of the destruction of one set of records and the burning .of another set of records, we really KNOW the history of the family in detail from the close of the Thirty Years' War, in 1648, and in general for a long time before that. If we are no better for rank and wealth in days gone by, we are none the worse for it. It is our's and we have a right to know it.

CHAPTER I

DIGGING FOR DATA

"Ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee." Deut., xxxii, 7

OME of the older grandchildren of Conrad Waltman could remember him when he was sane. They were familiar with the old Bible, even S then a very old book. They had read on its record leaves the names of their old ancestors, though no one had forethought enough to copy them. They had seen the brass-bound kegs that had come to Conrad full of yellow gold, three of them. These were kept nearly 100 years in Andrew Walt man's family. They had seen and handled the books, boxes full of them, that after the Countess Barbara's death has been sent over to her son. And Conrad talked freely of the past before his mind failed him. Kezia Waltman\ with the finest memory that mortal could have, used to sit at the feet of her grandfather, Andrew Waltman2, and over and over hear the romantic story of the kidnapped child, Andrew's own grandfather. She gave to us the foundation. The old fragments of a document of April 9, 1699, hidden in a secret pocket under the lining of the back lid of the old Bible that was purchased in 1652, gave confirmation that the 11.ame of Valen tine Waltman's foster father, was what we had believed it to be, Hiram von Frundsberg. When that was a proven fact, we had but to patiently "dig" into German and Bavarian history to find out about the Frundsbergs. There it was, and plenty of it. And everything fitted into the oft told story of the poets and scholars, the Conrad and Barbara that wrote so well. It took patient, plodding work, but it did bring Conrad Celtes and his wife, Barbara Dalberg, to life again. And the tradition of famous warriors materialized into the record of the battling Furstenburgs and their branch, the Frundsbergs that fought so hard for their emperors that they died out as a line, save only those with the plebian blood of Katherine Bierly. Katherine, who married Conrad Walt man, the last leaf of the last twig of the last bough of the Frundsberg ancestral tree. For he was the last heir of his mother, who was the last heir of her father, Count Hiram, and Hiram was the last, the very last of the famous warrior house of Frundsberg. It is a good thing to have fresh blood sometimes. Lincoln said that "the Lord must love common people, He made so many of them." Patient digging brought to light the price the Frundsbergs paid for their Protestantism in the bloody Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648, which left but one male alive of the whole family, and he a child of nine. It found for us that greatest general of his century, Gen. Georg von Frundsberg, who clapped Luther on the shoulder as the latter was going into the Diet of Worms to be tried for heresy, and encouraged him. Digging away, we found the records of Conrad Waltman's sons and daughters, and their sons and daughters. An honorable record indeed. Dig- 4 ging away cleared up the record and amplified it of many an allied family that intermarried with the W altmans. It took twenty-five years to do this. It took a trunk full of records. It took many a visit to great libraries. It took photostats from Bavaria, some of them made from old paintings over 400 years old. It took study of heraldry and of patriotic orders. It took translators to assist the author who unfortunately does not read German. It took photostats and illustrations from rare books kept under lock and key, from the British Museum, from the Philadelphia, New York and Newberry Library of Chicago, in the anti quarian and genealogical section. It took paid work from those in charge of State's records, some of them hundreds of years old. It took weeks of digging among the more than 60 volumes of the Pennsylvania Archives, as well as the Archives of other states. It has taken hundreds and hundreds of letters. It has taken midnight oil and plenty of it. But it has resulted in this volume. Read it, and rejoice that behind you were honest, industrious, religious ancestors. Rejoice that you can do as well, if you will; rejoice that there are others coming after us that may pattern after us. And may our loving Heavenly Father do good to each one and all of us. 5

CHAPTER II

THE HOUSE OF FURSTENBERG, PRINCES AND LANDGRAVES

"The Prince of his people."-Psalms, cxiii, 8

HE high and princely House of Furstenberg was one of the greatest families of all southern Germany. The name is derived from T furst-a prince, and berg, a castle. Literally it means the prince's castle. As powerful a family as this and ruling over much territory, had necessarily many castles. But the castle was Furstenberg Castle on the left bank of the picturesque Rhine, "Father Rhine," as the Germans love to call it. It was situated on a bold promontory about ten miles north of Bingen, "Fair Bingen on the Rhine." There was an ancestral Castle Furstenburg in the celebrated Black Forest, thirteen miles above Scha:ffhausen. There was a Castle Furstenberg near the border of Bavaria and Alsace, not far from the city of Strassburg, the capital of Alsace. We more than suspect that this particular castle be longed to our special branch of this great house. The Castle of Furstenberg in the Black Forest was built in 1218 by the branch that called themselves the Zahringen-Furstenbergs. And here is where the art of making gun powder was discovered, on this estate, by Schwarz. Another fine castle was on the River Rhur. · Probably a score or more of these seats of power belonged to this semi-princely house, for they were supreme in power and importance throughout their medianized principality that extended from the Principality of Baden almost or quite to Switzerland, and over old Swabia and what is now Bavaria. They had possessions even in Austria and in Bohemia. Up to modern times, the emperor of Germany was elected by seven great houses, the Electors. Germany had been divided into seven Circles in 1389, with an Elector over each. In 1512 the Emperor Maximilian divided it into ten Circles. The Furstenbergs were over the seventh circle, which embraced most of Bavaria and part of Baden and Wurtemberg. They held much of the upper Danube. They were also the Counts of Heiligenberg, Land graves of Stulinger and Baar, Lords of Jungnau, Trochtenfingen, Hausen and Meskesch. A Landgrave was a semi-princely title, a council over an entire province. Naturally Branches arose. These new divisions were not princes or land graves or electors. They were Counts but powerful ones at that, with great wealth, and having high honors. Our own Furstenberg or Frundsberg House was one of these branches. And today, in all Germany, there are almost none of the name! There is still a Prince Fursternberg in Austria, and a Prince Fursternberg in Bo hemia. But in their real home onlv one small familv is left of the Furstern bergs, none at all of the Frundsbergs, the branch to which the Waltmans belonged. 6

RUINS OF CASTLE FURSTENBURG F'rom a photostat made expressly for this work.

They were not a prolific family. They were warriors of renown, states men and ecclesiastics, and the many wars of Germany decimated their ranks. There used to be a proverb in old-time Germany and Bavaria, "The Emperor fights no great battle but a F1.1rstenberg falls." When that fright ful Thirty Years' War raged, 1618-1648, the bloodiest war mankind ever saw, the Catholic and Protestant Furstenburgs and Frundsbergs fought to a finish. Our branch, the Frundsbergs, had but one male left alive in the whole line, and he a minor of but 9, Count Hiram. And as if that was not enough, two separate "last heirs," with no one to take their place if they died without legitimate heirs, each of these con tracted a morganatic marriage, and the line officially died out, though they left children behind them. One of these was the Ludwig, the Landgrave, of the Furstenbergs of Baar, Kinzigthal, Heiligenberg, Jungnau and Troch telfingau. He threw it all away for the lady he loved, and all of this vast estate went to the crown. The other was our own ancestor, Count Conrad 7 \\ altman, who contracted a morganatic marriage with Katherine Bierly. The couple left plenty of descendants, but in the eyes of the law, that Frunds berg-vValtman line died out with Count Conrad. The Crown took the estate. THE BLACK FOREST

Bavaria was the real home of this family. Bavaria is the largest German province and the most southerly one. It is bounded on the north by Baden and \Vurtemberg, on the southeast by Alsace and Lorraine, on the south by Switzerland, and on the west by Bohemia and Austria. In former days, by the Prussian Rhine Provinces of today. The Rhine, after it leaves the Bavarian Alps and Lake Constance, makes a great elbow, and on the eastern side for 100 miles runs the vast Black Forest with its thick forest of blackest green firs, its hills and lakes and mineral springs. To this day the peasants speak in whispers of the elves, fairies, gnomes, sooty dwarfs and "little men" of the enchanted forest. Of the malignant dwarfs that lure men into caverns lined with gold and studded with pearls, emeralds and rubies, and then cause the earth to close over them so that never mortal beholds them again. Of the gnomes that guard the mines, and the fairy rings where the "little people" dance on moonlight nights. Right in this richly wooded land with its mines and lakes, together with the fertile lands south of this, in the Palatinate as it was called, was where our ancestors lived. The Bavarians were a brave, lively people, fond of plays and music, lovers of poetry. They are mostly fair and tall. Their women are fond of dress. Alas! they were all fond of their beer. Not so long ago Bavarians averaged to drink 60 gallons of beer per capita, which broke the record of the world. ~~r~- Cesar conquered Bavaria a few years before Christ. Clovis defeated them in 496.

But it can only be proven back to Count Egino ,.(Egon), who died before 1136. Over a territory that had the rivers Rhine, Necker, Ill, Main and the Leck and the Danube, with rich valleys and plains ad jacent, these powerful nobles acquired great wealth, which was augn:ie;nted by many marriages with heiresses. ,.:,:¥-~ Our own branch for generations wrote the name interchangeably -Fur stenberg and Frundsberg. But when the Catholic wing in the Thirty Y:ears' \Var clung like a leech to the Furstenberg name, it was not so populanwith the Protestant branch, to which our line all belong. And when in 1681, those scoundrel brothers, Egon and William Furstenburg, both Bishops of the Catholic Church, and both creatures of that vile Louis XIV of France, the Benedict Arnolds of their day, deliberately gave the keys of Protestant Strassburg, the capital of Alsace, to France, on four o'clock in the afternoon of September 30, 1681, and turned the helpless city without a blow over to their arch enemy, Louis XIV, the Protestant branch dropped forever the name of Furstenberg. 8

CHAPTER Ill

THE HOUSE OF FRUNDSBERG

"Riches and lzonor."-1 Kings, iii, 13

OUTH of the Black Forest and covering part of it, lies the estate of the Frundsbergs in southern Bavaria. Their holdings extended well down S toward Switzerland and were on both banks of the Rhine. On the other hand they were close to the border between Bavaria and Alsace, and near enough to the capital city of Strassburg in Alsace that they often went there. One of the families from Valentine, the second Waltman son born on American soil., have it handed down that the family passed so often from Bavaria to Alsace, or vice versa, that they hardly knew to which country they belonged. This is an exaggeration, but there was an element of truth in it also. They were an opulent family, after centuries upon centuries of hoarded wealth and of marrying heiresses wealthy in their own right. There were not many of this line. They had few children, and were such plucky warriors that they went headlong into every war scrap that came along, and the Germany of that day was always having a war scrap of some kind. This kept the family pretty well thinned out. The Thirty Years' War, finished up the males of the entire Frundsberg line save only our Count Hiram, a boy of 9, when the war closed. In all Bavaria tliere are now but 15 noble houses left in 1900 that were in existence before the Thirty Years' War. The two Frundsbergs that history tells us about, were closely connected with Luther, the great Protestant leader. These two were the Count Frundsberg who was present in his official capacity as one of the great nobles of the empire at the celebrated trial of Luther for heresy before the Diet of Worms. He representing Swabia, the Sixth Circle of the 1 0 into which Germany was divided.. The other, that great general, the General Grant of his day, General Georg Frundsberg, the idol of all Germany. A little before Luther's day there came what is known as the Humanist movement, which really laid the foundation of the Reformation. The col leges and universities under the control of the Catholic Church that was then supreme throughout Christendom, had degenerated into fourth rate schools, where a mass of silly, childish and improbable superstitions were taught, and the whole trend of their learning was to exalt Rome, the church and its institutions. Classical learning and secular history, science and higher learn ing were scarcely known. The Humanists fought all of this, though not from a religious stand.. point so much as from the scholastic side. One of the chief leaders was Bishop Dalberg of ,v orms, who practically made Heidelberg the great university that it became. Catholic bishop that he was, he threw himself heart and soul into the Humanist movement, filled the university with professors who stood for a revival of real learning, and surrounded himself with talented young people who shared his views. Among this brilliant circle were two of our own ancestors, the much-talked-of poet fore-parents, Barbara Dalberg, the bishop's own niece, and the poet laureate of Germany, HEIDELBERG, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY IN GERMANY

Conrad Celtes, that Barbara Dalberg afterwards married. Heidelberg, \Vittenberg and the city of Strassburg were full of Humanists, revolting from the phantasies and puerilities of a corrupt ecclesiastical system. The Frundsbergs embraced the new teachings to a man, just as a little later they became redhot adherents of Luther. On the heels of all this came Martin Luther, that lionlike man of God. A scholar, a theologian, a thinker, he became the great leader that set on foot the Protestant movement. In vain in youth he tried fasting and penance to find peace to his soul. But the reading of Habakkuk 11-4, "The just shall live by his faith," brought instant and a marvelous conversion. A great light came into his soul, and he began to teach that God alone could forgive men's sins. The Pope who needed money badly just then, sent Tetzel into Germany to sell indulgencies. For certain sums of money, the church would forgive sins and leave the purchaser guiltless. At first Tetzel did a wonderful busi ness. Then Luther thundered out against him, nailed his famous 9 5 theses to Wittenberg's Cathedral door, and burnt the Pope's bull of excommunica tion that followed. Germany was aflame. All Europe stood agape at Doctor Luther's revoluntionary boldness. Charles V, a bigot all of his life; the emperor that the historian Motley says put between fifty thousand and a hundred thousand Protestants to death in the Netherlands alone, in his efforts to stamp out rebellion against the church in which he so firmly believed; this young ruler, barely of age, came to the throne at this time. He was for making short shift of Luther at once. But the Imperial Diet that he called at \Vorms were some of them both Humanists and adherents of Luther, and they would not consent to condemning him without giving him a chance to appear before them and pleading his cause. They insisted on the Emperor's giving him a safe conduct to Worms and back. Therefore he was summoned to appear at the bishop's palace where the Diet was assembled, for April 17-18, 1521. The historian, Aleander, said that Luther faced "a papal sentence of death in this world and damnation afterwards." Luther's friends remembering how John Huss, promised protection, a few years before had been burned at the stake for saying less than Luther had said, begged him not to go to \Yorms. "-YVhat mean you?" said Luther. "My emperor has summoned me. It is my duty to appear. Though there were as many devils in \Vorms as there are tiles on the roofs of the houses, I will go." \Yhen he did go, a hundred horsemen went with him to protect him. All the way the streets were packed with great crowds to see him pass. The Emperor's journey itself witnessed no such crowds. As he was about to pass into the palace, General Georg Frundsberg, the idol of the land, a man -of war, every inch of him, pushed his way through the crowd. In a voice shaken with emotion, he said to Luther as he clapped him on the shoulder: "My poor monk! lv1y poor monk! Thou art on thy way to make such a stand as I and mv knights have never done in the toughest battles. If . ~ - GE:'.'l'. GEORG FRU:\'DSBERG, 1-1-73-1528

IO thou art sure of the justice of thy cause, then forward in the name of God, and be of good courage-God will not forsake thee."* Through the great crowd that blocked the way, Luther made his way into the palace. It was already dark and the candles had been lighted. It was a most august assembly. The Emperor Charles V was there in his robes of state, seven princes, eleven margraves, a cardinal, thirty bishops and twenty-eight dukes and counts galore. Luther spoke but a few sentences, and the real trial was postponed until the next morning. A crowd of 5,000 surrounded the building. Count Frundsberg of Frankfort was there as a member of the Diet. Was it our forefather? We think so, and that he was a near relative of Gen. Georg Frundsberg. Count Frundsberg has left an account of Luther's appearance that night. He said that Luther's face could have been no whiter under the coffin lid than it was then, and his voice was almost in audible. He spent the entire night in an agony of prayer. "His Geth semane," D'A.ubigne called it, but when he appeared the next day, he was calm, but bold as a lion. His voice rang out as he boldly refused to grant any authority greater than that of the Scriptures, or that men could be saved by anything less than faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. "Here I stand, so help me God." These famous words of his are engraven on his monument. That speech electrified all Europe. \Vhole nations became Protestants almost in a day. Those familiar with the history of the Reformation know that Luther's own friends kidnapped him and hid him securely in the Castle of Wartburg for a year, to save him from the vengeance of Charles the Fifth, who would otherwise have put him to death. Here Luther translated the Bible into German, one of the best of all translations. Here also was where he thought the Devil appeared bodily to him, whereupon Luther hurled his ink-well at him, leaving a stain that tens of thousands have visited the castle to see. Small wonder that the Frundsbergs idolized Luther. General Georg Frundsberg was one of a long line of Furstenburg or Frundsberg generals, but he was the greatest of them all. (His name is written both ways, but more often as Frundsberg.) German history tells of these Frundsberg and Furstenburg generals, Generals Egon, two of them, Karl, William, Casper, Louis, etc. But the greatest Herzog ( war lord) of them all was this Georg Frundsberg of our own branch. He was born in Mindelheim, Germany, September 24, 1473. He died in the same town August 2 0, 15 2 8, aged 5 5. He was the hero of twenty great battles and took part in twenty-three wars. It is stated that he even went to the Holy Land. The historian Henderson says: "No other gen eral was so loved, and his troops so devoted, as Georg von Frundsberg. He faced every hardship his troops had to face; looked after their interests, and made every sacrifice for them. He believed in military training and him self organized the landknecks or regiments of pikemen. His very presence

*"My little Monk! My little Monk!" Another version gi.-es it: '•If thou meanest honestly, and art sure of thy cause, go forward in God's name." A dozen of the old historians tell of General Frundsberg's greeting and blessing. I I inspired victory. He never failed his emperor whatever he was called upon to do and he never surrendered." Like all of this branch he was a dyed-in-the-wool Protestant. His private secretary, James Ziegler, wrote a sizzling hot attack on the pope, and the General backed him in it. It must,be remembered that the reformers were first called Protestants in Bavaria, and perhaps nowhere else did reli gious fervor or feeling run any higher than there. Naturally enough Catholic authorities have said bitter things against him. Rossetti tells of his inhuman sacking of Rome, and the savage vengeance he took on the pope and his followers. As a matter of fact he was dying in his old home when Rome was sacked. His last war was when his sovereign ordered him into Italy. The pope had taken sides against Germany, largely of course because so many of Germany's people had renounced Catholicism. The General was ordered to teach Rome a lesson to mind her own business. He was plainly told to conquer Rome, and sack her if need be, to do this. There is no reason to believe this caused much sorrow to the old veteran, who had precious little use for the pope at any time. _ Right at the beginning came trouble because Germany lacked funds to pay her troops. Frundsberg sold some of his estates and pawned his wife's jewels to pay his beloved landknecks. By a new pass and in splendid order, he crossed the Alps, won a great battle or two in Italy, and was all but ready to turn his face toward Rome when, on May 5, 1528, some of his troops • • , r , • r 1 v ,.Ii.. h" mutm1ea ror tneir pay. venera1 r runusuerg went at once to ulS troops to pacify them. To his consternation some of his own loved landknecks leveled their spears at his breast. The old Hero was so horrified that he fell at their feet in an apoplectic fit. In sorrow and shame they carried the old war horse back to Germany to die. He got to see his dear old wife once more. Less than four months later he died. His son, General Casper Frundsberg, 15 0 0-15 3 6, died a few years later, but 3 6 years old. General Georg's grandson died in 15 8 6, and with him that entire family became extinct. Of the Frundsbergs only our closely rel~ted line was left. The Thirty Years War, 1618-1648, nearly finished up our line. Every male, every female apparently, save one, young Hiram von Frundsberg, a child of nine, was left when the war closed. Possibly his mother was alive also. It is curious how long a family resemblance can be traced. If the reader will turn to Chapter XXIV, Kezia Nichols section, and compare the illustra tion given there of Col. Valentine D. Nichols, who was born 362 years after General Georg Frundsberg, with the full page picture given in this chapter, he will note the same straight nose, the square jaw, the same comtemplative eye, the same full brow. His character was of the highest. The illustration of Gen. Georg Frundsberg is from an old German painting over 400 years old. Back of the hero are his family Coat-of-Arms, dimly showing, and to the right, the Arms of his Province. Gen. Georg Frundsberg is sometimes called the Prince of :Mindelheim. On one occasion he made an impassioned speech to his soldiers; told them his son had been captured, and he was going to rescue his son. His troops wildly acclaimed: "You are our father! \\Te will follow you to the death!" 12

CHAPTER IV

THE SCHOLARS IN OCR LINE

"Of making niany books there.is no end, and much study is a v.. :eariness to the ftesh."-Eccles., xii, 12

EFORE taking up the story of Count Hiram Frundsberg, the sole sur vivor of his line, let us go back a little to the scholars, Barbara Dal B berg and Conrad Celtes, of whom family tradition has said much. Very, very proud their descendants were of them. In their century there were no higher authors' names in all Germany. In a thousand years we found records of but two women in all Germany that wrote a line. One of these was the Duchess Louisa Henriette, Electress of Bradenburg and granddaughter of Admiral Coligny. She wrote but a single hymn. The other was Barbara Dalberg. The Dalbergs were an ancient and noble family. They stood so high that for centuries they had the privilege that when an emperor was crowned, and as usual created several knights to show his gracious power, that a Dal berg among younger sons was the first to be knighted. A herald in gold lace called loudly, "1st kein Dal berg da?" "Is a Dalberg present?" Their ancestral castle was at Kreuznech, in the Rhine province. It was customary for generations for one of the sons to be made the Bishop of \Vorms. The direct family has now died out. Bishop Johann Kammerer von Dalberg, 1445-1503, was a very learned man indeed. He studied at Erfurt and in Italy, and was learned in both law and languages. He was placed over the Heidelburg University, and practically made it the great school that it became. Heidelburg is called the most beautiful town in all Germany. He brought professors from many lands, endowed chairs, established the library, and brought in new blood. Celebate though his church required him to be, he surrounded himself with young people of a scholarly turn of mind, of whom Conrad Celtes was one and his niece, Barbara Dalberg, was another. Barbara was a regular blue stocking. She wrote books! She dared to own it! And, after a time, she married her uncle's favorite, "Conrad, a great scholar." Neither of them was so very young. Conrad died in 1508, leaving small children. Conrad Celtes Portucius (pronounced Tsel'-tes or Cel'-tees and the last name, which is usually omitted, is pronounced Pro-toot'-se-us), was born in \Vipfield in 1459. His family name was Missel-Pickle-which, according to the fashion of that day for scholars, was Latinized into Celtes. His father was a vintner or wine maker. He was determined that his son should follow his occupation. Conrad was determined to be a scholar. The Ger man of those days was a stern parent. Three hundred years later than Conrad's day an American father of Bavarian descent forbade his children to play ball. During his absence they played. He found it out. Beginning with the oldest son, half a head taller than his father and who was married within a year, he threshed each one most soundly with a cowhide whip. CO:\"RAD CEL TES, 1-1-59-1508

There were eight to whip. Incidentally his hand was so lame that he could 11ot milk that night! That was the old German idea of family discipline. Conrad's father beat him so unmercifully that the lad ran away to Heidelburg and put himself u_nder the protection of Bishop Dalberg, who soon realized that here was a master mind. Celtes studied much, traveled much and half starved himself to buy books. He received many degrees. He was a master of languages, of philosophy and of history. He was a writer of history, of rhetoric, of essays, of plays, operas and poems. He was a leading Humanist, a movement that did much to preP.are the way for the Protestant Reformation. His first book in 1486, "Arts Versificandich et Carminium," created an immense sensation. Because of it, the next year Frederick III at the Diet of Nuremberg made him Poet Laureate, the first German to bear this title. The Emperor Maximilian I in 1497 made him Professor of Poetry and Rhetoric in Vienna. In 15 02 he was made the head of the new Collegium Poetarum et Mathematicorum. He was a great mathematician, and a re markable Greek and Latin scholar, as well as an antiquarian. He unearthed at the Convent of St. Emmeran at Regensburg a beautiful Latin poem by the Nun Hrosvitha in 1507, and made the celebrated map of the Roman Empire that his friend, Konrad Putinger, completed. He was engaged on an elaborate history of Germany, only one volume of which was completed when he died at 49. As late as 1 8 81 a volume of his Epigrams was published in Berlin. He studied in Italy in Padua, Ferrara and Rome. He traveled in Poland and Hungary. He was a professor in Ulm, Erfurt, Liepzig, Basel and Vienna. He died at the latter city February 4, 1508. The author had the pleasure ( see the full-page illustration,) of seeing and handling a leather-bound book, a volume of plays, written by Celtes and published more than four hundred years ago. It is so highly valued that special permission had to be obtained to take it out of its case. It has the same thick paper, big print and profuse, coarse wood-cuts such as were used in the old Waltman Bible that was published in 1652. This book of Celtes was written in 1501 for the Elector Frederick. Edward Maslin Hulme says: "His poems are tinged with paganism, and his teachings made for independence of thought." Celtes said of the invention of printing, "Priests can no longer keep their holy science to themselves, and heaven and earth must give up their secrets." He also said, "I wish to practice my devotions in the woods and fields, and not within musty church walls which echo with the babble of priests." For the protege of a Catholic Bishop, the uncle of his wife, that was pretty strong language. In the full-page illustration of Conrad Celtes, it will be observed that he wears a fur-trimmed professor's gown. A magnifying glass shows two rings upon his fingers. It was customary for a monarch when he appointed a Poet Laureate or named a man for a high educational position, to present him with a ring. So these rings would have been the royal gifts of Frederick the Elector and :Maximilian I, the Emperor, who had so honored him. He wears a heavy gold chain with a cross attached, so he was not quite a heathen. His velvet cap is surmounted by his Coat-of-Arms and crest, used as an inset. Around this and encircling the head is a golden laurel wreath, denoting his office as the Poet of the Court. As Celtes interpreted that puzzling word, Humanist, it signified a human, i. e., a common-sense going back to the classics and to Paul and the Evangelists, rather than to bow to small, smug traditions of the priests. "Christ alone judges the he1-etic." "The sole authority is the Scriptures." "Responsibility is to God, not the Church." The Humanists rejected the doctrine of Purgatory, and the masses, and thought there was no virtue in repeating Ave Maries or in praying to the saints. It was a movement that led up to the Reformation. It is certain that this is the Barbara and the Conrad that were both poets and both authors, who married and we;:-e the ancestors of the \Valtmans. 7 \\ e cannot trace all the names, but it is thought that their great grand daughter was the mother of Count Hiram Frundsberg, and that she was born not far from 1600. Conrad was married at Heidelburg. Both Conrad and Barbara had namesakes all down the line for three hundred years, and it was persistently handed down that there were two writers, a Barbara and a Conrad in Count Hiram's ancestors. They were undoubtedy these two. I .)!"'

CHAPTER V

A NE\V LEASE OF LIFE FOR THE FRUNDSBERGS

"For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition." 1 Sam., i, 27

HE close of that cruel Thirty Years' \Var, 1648, found one Frunds berg left alive - and possibly his widowed mother. That was T Count Hiram. All of the family traditions make him young. Some think that he was five years old, some that he was in his middle teens. Be tween these two extremes fit best his marriage, the birth of his only child, and his death toward the close of the \Var of the Spanish Succession, 1713. So we may safely conclude that he was about nine years old, possibly ten, when the Thirty Years' War closed, which would make him born A. D. 1639, or possibly in 1638. (The name was pronounced Froonz'-berg.) The war definitely left the state religion of Bavaria Catholic. By a com promise clause the great Protestant nobles were allowed to remain Protestant and this protection was extended to their retainers and tenants. As the young count had an immense estate, it meant that an extensive Protestant settle ment took refuge under him. He was really a standard bearer for a Luth eran Settlement. More than that, all of his kindred had died for the Pro testant cause. The boy's guardian signalized his headship of the Lutheran faith by purchasing for him, in 1652, the Eible published that year by Oslander and Pellicamps of Vhttenberg, Germany. This was the most sumptuous Bible ever published. The author saw a reproduction of it in the British Museum, and the cost of it was over 500 pounds ($2,500.00). The author's own copy, the identical Bible that Count Hiram's guardian pur chased for him in 1652, is still in fine shape, but has lost its jeweled clasps. The Thirty Years' -Yfv ar brought to Protestant Germany an appreciation of the Bible that they had never known before. In the midst of that life and death struggle plans-were made to publish the most magnificent Bible that up to that time had ever been made, ten German. Electors or Princes were then leading the Lutheran hosts. These were lovingly and patriotic ally designated Herzogs, i. e., war-lords, and a section of this sumptuous Bible had ten full-page pictures of these leaders, and ten full-page-long biographies. \Vood engravings were then in their infancy. These pictures of the Herzogs and their Coats-of-Arms, and sometimes picturing their families also, are absurdly stiff in posture and coarse in execution. But they are wonderfully interesting. See the full-page illustration of one of these Herzogs. Luther was their hero of heroes. There are twelve pages given to his biography. The full Lutheran Creed is given in the famous Augsburg Con fession that Nlelanchthon drew up in 1530 when the Emperor Charles the Fifth demanded a statement of what they believed. There was a many page concordance, and a profusion of woodcuts scattered through the volume. The pictures of the herzogs were the work of T. C. Clausner, who curiously 16 enough signed himself "sculptor." The other engravings were by the famous artist, Louis Crananch, the Elder. Clausner's own autograph is written in this section. The paper is heavy and coarse. The type very large. No one would have needed spectacles to have read that Bible! The volume is very large, 16 ¼ inches long, 10 ¼ inches wide, 43/2 inches thick and weighs 13 pounds. The boards of the cover are of curly bird's-eye maple, but were completely covered with a superb quality of pigskin, that now, ( 1928) at 2 8 0 years after its binding, is strong enough to last 500 years more. The binding has five heavy raised bars at the back and is beautifully embossed on the out side lids. At the four front and the four back covers were once hammered brass corner pieces, showing a design of acanthus leaves. Two brass clasps closed the volume, and originally these clasps were elaborately adorned with jewels of ruby, sapphire, topaz, crystal and turquoise. When the author acquired the Bible in 1921, the jeweled clasps were gone, gambled off by our black-sheep forefather, Count Conrad, although the side brasses still are there ar.d four of the brass corner-pieces remain. So many of the family have asked for a description of this book, that it is here given, together with illustrations of the volume and some of its pictures. This imposing volume, resting on a table in the great ancestral hall, was at once a testimonial to the owner's wealth and to the orthodoxy of his religion. Someone has said that it was a wicked waste of money, when Bavaria was all but beggared by the war. But Count Frundsberg was wealthy and doubtless his guardian thought it most fitting to his station and his Protestant leadership. Most of this Bible was prepared during the war. But the wild raids and destruction of property made it unsafe, after all, to print it then. Four years after the war closed, the Bible was printed, using the plates already prepared. It is a rare volume indeed, and probably the only one of its kind in all America. It contains the autograph in bold scrip and black ink of Andrew Waltman, 1 796, the year his father died and he became the owner of it. On the back cover's inside lining is the name of Barbara F. "\Valtman, still faintly legible. She was the only child of Count Hiram.

We know little of Count Hiram. He married early, for as the last one of the name it behooved him to secure an early heir to his dignities and estates. His wife's name is not on record, but from namesake it is thought to have been Margaret. Their hopes seemed doomed. For twenty-five years they were a childless couple. We know he was patriotic, for he was one of the faithful Bavarians who almost took their lives in their hand when they snatched the baby boy of the murdered Spanish Count from the hands of that sly fox, Louis XIV of France, always ready to wreak his vengeance on those who in any way thwarted his plans. He would no more have minded a child's murder than he would taking a pinch of snuff. vVe know also that he enjoyed hunting. Out of these two characteristics came the romance of Valentine \Valtman's adoption. THE OLD FRCSDSBERG-'\'P.LT:\L\X BIBLE OF 165..:

A PICTURE FROM THE OLD FRUNDSBERG-WALTMAN BIBLE OF 1652, SHOWING A "HERZOG" OF THE PROTESTANT FAITH

Every Saint Valentine's day it was Count Hiram's custom to go with friends to hunt the wild boar in the Black Forest. They started early with beaters and gun carriers, with bugle and hounds. One of the old hunting songs that came down the family is this. \\7e do not know its origin: "Come all ye jolly sportsmen that love to hunt the boar; That love to hunt the wild hog and leave him in his gore; \Vith a whoop! whoop! ·whoop! in the hollow, All in the merry strand, \Vith the ran, ran tan, And the tippy, tippy tran, And awav with the roval bow! wow! wow! And the ~iddle diddle· do, And the bugle's horn, For into the woods we'll run, brave boys, And into the woods we'll run." Late in the afternoon of February 14, 16 8 1, a tired but merry party swept from the thick, blackish-green fir thickets of the Black Forest into the open edge of the timber, the "wald" of the Bavarians, The Count was vis ualizing how tomorrow, roasted to a turn, the boar would be brought in to a party of his friends, resting on the great silver platter that was never used for anything else. There would be an apple in his mouth and a string of smoking sausages around his neck. It would be washed down with more beer and wine and spirits than his prohibition descendants of 250 years later like to think about. There would be generous helpings for all, and plenty left for the retainers-and then his dreams were interrupted. Right in the wald where the big road came-in, stood a little boy not quite three years old. He ,x1as a remarkably handsome little fellow a11d he was dressed in velvet and lace-a dress that only the child of a great noble would wear and that only upon great occasions. The Count did not need to ask any questions. He knew who it was, the kidnapped child that he had thought safely hidden in Strassburg. The poor little waif that scarcely knew a dozen German words appealed to the childless Count. It had been a bitter grief to both him and his wife that no child had come to them. There was danger in taking him to his home, but the Count never hesitated. "He is mine," he said, ''and I will bring him up as my own son." That was a bad, bad year. Step by step, foot by foot, Louis XIV re morselessly, relentlessly pursued his course of crooked diplomacy, trickery and assassination, that he might steal Spain's bridge across Alsace to reach Germany and Holland. Everything was going Louis XIV's way. Quite openly now he was paying the two Furstenberg brothers, Count Hiram's kinsmen in the Catholic branch, both bishops, both rascals, Egon and William, I 00,000 livres a year to help him steal Alsace, and help him in his other nefarious schemes. The shame of it almost choked the Count. Could he have foreseen that in September of that very year, that these two traitor kin of his, with the basest treachery, would deliver the city of Strass burg, a Protestant stronghold and the capital of Alsace, lying in peace, suspecting no evil, to its arch enemy, Louis X1'\ he would have felt even worse. That was what they did. They opened the gate of the city, and Strassburg fell without a blow. ,vhat Louis xn~ paid for this at the time the nefarious deed was done, no one will ever know. But ever after that he unblushingly paid annually to each of the traitor brothers a "pension" of 100,000 livres a year, something like $22,000.00 in our money. The indig nation was so great against these two traitors that they were arrested, but Louis made such threats that perforce the authorities had to release them. Louis even went as far as to solicit the cardinal's hat for Bishop William. But Count Hiram did realize the danger the child would bring to his home. Everybody was sworn to secrecy, Count Hiram gave out that he was an adopted child. He named him Valentine, because he found him on Saint Valentine's day, and Waldman (later changed into Waltman), because he found him in the wald. He could not inherit the estate. That was entailed. But the love and affection of a father and mother went out to the little bov they raised. This is the story of the king's enmity toward the child. · Spain was then an extremely wealthy country, owing to two things. First, America, which was hers by right of Christopher Columbus's discov:... ery, was pouring a stream of wealth into her coffers. Second, by a series of ambitious marriages with heiresses, other countries fell to Spain. At one time she held all of Holland and the Netherlands, Burgundy, Portugal, and much of Italy. She had to have a path across that chain of small buffer states between Germany and France, Lorraine, Alsace, French Comte and Luxenburg, and she had secured this one way or another, so that she could pass from Spain to the Netherlands without going through France. Now France had always made a bugaboo of those buffer states. Her cry was, "France should have them to make her safe." That was always her policy. For 7 5 years Spain had the misfortune to have poor rulers. She had poor ministers in charge of her policies. Perhaps they were sometimes men that could be bought. While Spain was at her weakest, France had at its head the man who reigned the longest of any European ruler, 74 years if one counts the years of his minority. Louis XIV had no morals. He had no scruples. He was absolutely without honor. He believed in bribery, trickery, and would stoop to assassination if necessary to carry out his plans. He was astute, adroit, a born diplomat, and he labored unceasingly all these years to break Spain's power and to take those buffer states from her. He was as surely an enemy to Germany. He virtually accomplished his aims as to Spain, although he kept haressed Europe into almost constant war to do it. Whenever he wanted a fresh slice of Spain's territory he began a war. He took it then if he could, and if not, by diplomacy and bribery he ob~ained it by treaty. He kept nibbling away, nibbling away until he got it. He delighted in State and formalities. It took seven men to change his shirt. He built the magnificent Pa]ace of Versailles at the cost of one hundred million dollars. He it was who revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685 and bitterly persecuted the Huguenots. · Spain was particularly unfortunate that from 1670 until 1700 she had on the throne, the last of his line, a semi-idiot king, Charles IL At thirty five he was as wrinkled and weakened as a man of eighty. His enormous chin hung down nearly to his chest. His thick tongue protruded from his mouth so that it was with difficulty that he enunciated his words or swallowed his victuals. They believed in the divine rights of kings in those days, and the loyal Spaniards spoke piteously about their "poor, bewitched king." So anxious were they for ap heir to the throne that twice they married him to a fair young bride, but no heir came. The first one was a Bavarian princess, and hostile to crafty Louis XIV. She was warned, "Be careful what you eat, be careful what you drink." But she was poisoned. The next natural heir after Charles II was a Bavarian prince whose mother was of the house of Spain. He, too, died under grave suspicion of having been poisoned. The Bavarians and Louis XIV had no love for each other. Four or more wars arose over some phase or other of the Spanish claim over part of Alsace, hard by Bavaria's border, that she used as a stepping stone to get to Holland without crossing France. Alsace was a rich, prosperous land about the size of Connecticut or a little less. The old German saying was: "Three castles on one mountain, Three churches in one church yard. Three cities in one valley, Such is Alsace everywhere." Alsace means Ill-Sass, "the seat of the River Ill." Yet small as it was it had this one splendid city of Strassburg, whose beauty Victor Hugo so charmingly extolled, a strictly Protestant city, and it had as neighbors ten important free cities as prosperous as itself. And Louis XIV wanted that rich territory! The more that his enemy Spain had possession in it that gave her a strong influence in Alsace, and its capital, Strassburg. Spain sent into Alsace to take charge of her interests a vigorous young grandee. H_~s first name was Pedro (Peter). His last name we do not know, after poor insane Count Conrad destroyed the fly leaves of the old Bible with their valuable records. Evidently he was succeeding only too well to suit jealous Louis. On April 9, 1678, a little son was born to this Spanish (Castilian) Count Pedro. Later that same year, by one of his crooked treaties, Louis XIV got his first nibble at Alsace. Count Pedro stood in his way of getting another nibble. Louis knew how to send out men to rid him of troublesome foes, "and no questions asked." One_ thing is certain, the young father of little Valentine met with foul play. Did the widow, Countess Eleanor, hide the child for a time? If she did, it was no longer safe to do so. All we certainly know is that a few staunch Bavarian noblemen were behind a friendly kidnapping, and were sworn to protect the child to manhood and to help him regain his rights. In the fragments of an old document found under the back cover of the old Bible of 1652 are the initials of some of these nobles: Jn. Los-, G. A. and J. L. \\r. There is an H. Fur--burg also, and that was none other than_ Count Frundsberg, whose name was written interchangeably Frunds berg and Furstenburg. There is the carefully pen-printed initials, H.F., that also stand for Hiram von Frundsberg. Why cannot Count Peter's full name be found Because the hundreds of years old and musty records are in Madrid, and t would take a "pull" to 20 get them to consult; it would require the study of Spanish; it would cost a small fortune to go there and stay for months, even if one had the "pull," and without it nothing can be done in a case like this. Seven years after Valentine's adoption, when the lad was about ten years old, a second thing occurred that set every tongue wagging. To a father of forty-seven and a mother nearly as old, after twenty-five weary years of waiting, a baby girl was born to the last of the Frundsbergs. The proud father named her Barbara for the famous grandmother back in the line. There was great rejoicing, and well there might be.

ORDER OF ST. HUBERT, \Vorn by Count Hiram von Frundsberg, born 1739 Here is an illustration of the famous Order of Saint Hubert. It was adopted in Bavaria in 1444 to commemorate a great victory won on St. Hubert's day, and was the most prized decora tion in the kingdom. The badge was suspended from a handsome, wide satin ribbon. The badge itself was of scarlet and gold, doubled to ma:ke two ends, one above the other. On the main ribbon is a crown in gold. Below the crown is a Maltese Cross in silver, with an engraving in the center of Saint Hubert. Elaborate and very striking. With it was worn a beautiful collar of gold hunting horns. This collar groundwork was of gold and blue and was linked by a Gothic monogram, "I. T. V.," which stood for the motto of the order, "In Trau Vast," in alternate red and green enamel. Only the sovereign, princes of the blood, and twelve of the highest nobles could ever belong. The von Frundsbergs' head was one of the twelve nobles. In the disturbances and wars of Count Hiram's time, no new medals were issued, but he used that one that had been his father's before him. 21

THE REASON FOR THIS CHAPTER Most of our readers will skip this chapter. It has been written solely for the Doubting Thomases who want to know, "\;\That is your authority?" "vVhere did you find such and such records?" "How do you know it is so?" Every possible pains has been taken to verify the assertions in this book, not only in the first five chapters, but in the subsequent chapters. The dates, names, and statements made in such chapters as XVI and XXIV and XXV, have been referred for final supervision back to those of those particular lines who know their family history best. Some of the genealogical sections have been re-written the third and fourth time to get every date and name in correctly. 34

CHAPTER \'11

VALENTINE AND BARBARA

HAT do we really know of Valentine and Barbara? \Ve know she was a student and loved books all of her life. \Ve know that W Valentine grew up with remarkable good looks. He bequeathed to a good many of his descendants a complexion that was as fair as a lily, with rosy cheeks. A complexion that high-born Castilians pride themselves on in a land where all but their class are dark and swarthy. A complexion that does not burn or tan or freckle, and that even to extreme old age is as fresh as a child's. He is said to have been somewhat haughty. Perhaps, and some of his descendants have shown some of that disposition also. '\::Vhen he was really roused, he had a hot Spanish temper also, and sometimes that went down the line as well. Valentine was of age in 1699. Always it had been held up to him that he had a great estate and a great title that was his if he had his rights. In 1700 poor simple Charles II died. It was found that tricky Louis XIV, his worst enemy, had induced him to will his kingdom to Louis' grandson. The war of the Spanish Succession immediately broke out. Valentine was vitally interested. If Spain won, Valentine could claim his title and estate. If Louis won, he would never regain either. This war lasted thirteen years. Valentine was doubtless an officer in that war. Before it was over with, Valentine mar ried his foster sister, Barbara. It was not an easy thing to do on account of the rigid law of eben burtig. Old Count Hiram was nearing 8 0 and was anxious for the match. He went before the authorities and gave them confidential proofs of whom Valentine really was. Objections were withdrawn and Barbara became his wife. The autograph here given of Barbara \\7 altman was written on the in side of the back lid of the Frundsberg-Waltman Bible. It was 218 years old at the time it was photographed, and was much faded. By the aid of chem icals the writing was brought out so that the camera could reproduce it. It reads "Barbara E. 'Naltmann."

ACTOGRAPH OF BARBARA E. WALTMA~, WRITTE~ ABOUT 1710 35

The war closed in 1 713, three years after their marriage. Spain lost by treaty every inch of her hold in Alsace. \Vith it went all of Valentine's hopes. Not even the estate in Spain could be his now. Spain was crushed and unable to make restitution. Historians speak of this treaty as a most shameful one. But France, now hand in hand with England, The Mistress of the Seas, was too powerful for other nations, sick of war, and all afraid of Louis, to interfere. Louis bribed England to force this iniquitous treaty by giving her Minorca, Malta and Gibralter, that control the Mediterranean and the Far East. The old Spanish grandees lost their power. With these new adjustments died Valentine's chance to recover his estates.

GIBRALTER, THE BRIBE OF LOUIS XIV TO ENGLAND TO WIN HER SUPPORT TO THE TREATY OF 1713 THAT IM POVERISHED SPAIN

The old Count seems to have died before the close of the war. His wife must have survived him ten or fifteen years, as she knew before her death of that pitiful cripple, poor Peter the heir, that could never live to inherit. Conrad, the next and only brother, strong and bouyant, must be the one to carry on the line. Someone, and evidently she was the one, left an inde pendent fortune to Conrad. As it proved, the worst thing she could have done. Peter, the heir, was a hopeless cripple for years. It is said that he was paralyzed in the lower limbs. He died after years of suffering, and only Conrad was left. If Conrad was three years older than his wife, who was born in 171 8, then he was born in 1715. He was a dashing, handsome fellow, brave, rash, impetuous, with streaks of high honor, but the greatest black sheep in the whole family. He was a spoiled child, a spoiled youth and a spoiled man. He broke his father's and mother's hearts, led his poor wife a sorry life, fussed and quarreled with his sons, wasted four fortunes and died dependent upon his children, after an insanity of many years. This insanity was brought on as much by shame and remorse as anything else. vVhen Countess Barbara died in February, 1762, by her directions, boxes and boxes of her cherished books were packed up and sent to her only child. Had he remained in Germany he would have been Count Conrad. He never claimed the title in America, although he was occasional spoken of as such. Among the books was the Bible that Count Hiram Frundsberg had purchased 110 years before, and a prized hymnbook of nearly a century before. It is said that there were many rare books among these. She had willed him the family plate, and this was sent. There were great ewers, platters, waiters, goblets, and flat ware in abundance, the accumulation of a great family for centuries. Not a piece of the plate remains or of the family jewels. . It is in the Spanish blood, that craze for gambling. All of the plate, the jewels and the money was lost this way. Conrad even gambled away the jeweled clasps off from the Bible! It certainly exemplified the sorrowful expressions in the second chapter of Ecclesiastes. "l had great possessions .... I gathered me also silver and gold .... Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun, because I should leave it to the man that shall be after me. And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? Yet will he have rule over all of my labor." 37

CHAPTER VIII

HEADSTRONG CONRAD

"Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!"-James, iii, 5

AVARIA, after the bitter Thirty Years' '\Var, was counted as a Catholic country, although a tenth or more of her people were Protestants B and were promised liberty of conscience. Early in the 1700's this was changed. The powerful nobles, such as the von Frundsbergs, and their retainers on their estates escaped. But bitter persecution came to the rest. 30,000 men, women and children fled the land, fearing death. Their farms, cattle, horses, their money· and their jewels were confiscated and they went out literal beggars for the cause of Christ. The men and the women were allowed to carry a bundle of their possessions on their back, and one in their hands, and the children that were old enough could carry a bundle also. They were allowed nothing else. Holland opened her doors to them, and ten thousand remained there. 20,000 went to England. Now England was of their faith and sympathized with them beside,-all the more that it was really the King of France who with all of his power was the real cause of this persecution. But England has never liked foreigners in her land. There was a cry made that these beggars would take the bread out of the mouths of English workmen. So the generous British people raised a great sum, enough to pay for the pass- o-P t() A mPrir-::i "f 1 () ()()() T'IP()nlP hnu thPm f,vvl fnr nnP uP.-::ir -::inrl h1Hr ao- ..__ ...... _,.__.._..._'-'_ ....,.,_ ...

They were taken over to Philadelphia and landed there. They are the Palatins, (Bavaria had the Upper and Lower Palatinates) and Lutherans and Moravians, of whom Pennsylvania history has so much to say, and this 10,000 became the an cestors of the Pennsylvania Dutch. A misnomer, for they were not Dutch, but High German. Her~ they prospered and did well, save that the Indians killed about 200 of them. Ten thousand were left in England. Good Queen Anne was on the throne. She had a big heart and little brain. She gave a sum that balanced what the British people had given, a sum that must have run into the millions in our money. A queenly gift indeed. Then because she had no business acumen,, she turned all of that money over to favorites of hers without any bond. Those rascals stole two-thirds of that money. They crowded their charges into ships, packed like sardines in a can. The slow sailing ves sels struck calms and struck storms. They were four months crossing the ocean. Epidemics broke out, and over 2,500 were buried in the sea. They were not taken to Pennsylvania, but taken up the Hudson River and landed at where is now Poughkeepsie, N. Y., but then unbroken pine woods. Here the rascals who had received the Queen's money to use for these refugees, sailed off, leaving them not a dollar, not a pig, not a cow or horse, not a plow; worst of all, not a teaspoonful of victuals. In six months' time 2,500 more had died of starvation. For a year there was not a light in any house, and the people lived on roots they dug out of the ground and roasted and boiled acrons. In the dead of the winter, with snow to their knees, the men made rude sleds, on which they placed the women and the children, and the men them selves, under the guidance of Carl \Veiser, the Indian interpreter, dragged the sleds to Pennsylvania, breaking the road every step of the way. About half of these Duchess County, N. Y., Palatinates went. The rest toughed it out where they were. Those who went with Weiser also became the ancestors of the Pennsylvania "Dutch," or more correctly Pennsylvania Germans. Some people say the reason that the Pennsylvania Dutch are such good cooks and hearty eaters is that they are trying to make up for all of those roasted acorns! It was good blood. Out of those Bavarians and Moravians of New York came General Herkimer of the Revolutionary \Var, President Martin Van Buren, and one strain of President Roosevelt's blood, and T. De Witt Talmage, the great divine. Out of the Pennsylvanianites came the poet and traveler, Bayard Taylor, the poets John G. Saxe and Joaquin J\,1iller, the merchant prince John Wanamaker of Philadelphia, and that much liked author, Gene Stratton Porter, who wrote Freckles and The Girl of the Limberlost. Among the very earliest refugees were Belthesar Schaffer, and his son George Bartholomew, ancestors of the wife of Andrew \Valtman.3 So religious were they, and so highly did they esteem the privilege of becoming an American, that when they were naturalized, April 1 71 9, Belthezar and George Bartholomew first took the sacrament, then went from their knees to the court house to swear allegiance. ( See oath of Allegiance in Appendix.) Not far from 1725-32 there came four Bavarian brothers and a sister, Frederick, vVilliam, John and Jacob Bierly and their sister, Anna l\1aria, who shortly afterwards married Adam Miller, the grandson of the Quaker emigrants who came to Pennsylvania in 1682-83, as personal followers of William Penn. Many of the Andrew \Valtman3 line came from this Bierly Miller strain. Evidently these Bierly boys smuggled some money through, for they became heavy owners of land. Th::: Bierlys were commoners, but well fixed financially. They seem to have been under the protection of the Count of Frundsberg, so the older Bierlys stayed on in Bavaria. When her brothers and sister went to America, they left behind them a little sister Katherine, born in 1718. (Her tombstone says 1708, but this was the stone-cutter's error.) Katherine Bierly grew up a tall, well-built and fine looking girl. Katherine had twenty descendants who looked like her, beside two who resembled her, it was said, as closely as one twin resembles another. See Chapter XXIV, Kezia \Valtman section. Kezia was the author's mother, and was one of these "doubles." See also article Bo·v.:man in Chapter XXVI, where another one of these "doubles" so resembled Kezia that the latter's own children could not tell their photographs apart! This "like- 39

A "LIKENESS" OF KATHERINE BIERLY-WALTMAN. Katherine had two "doubles" who resembled each other as much as do twins, and were declared by those who had known Katherine to be her "very spit image." This por trait is really of one of these "doubles," Anne Eliza (Bowman) Wilson. See Bowman Section, Chapter XXVI. ness" of Katherine Bierly is really a picture of Anne Eliza Bowman-\Vilson, who was called the "lvlother of the Confederacy." Conrad \Yaltman met her and fell violently in love with her, and she with him. Trouble came at once. Both sets of parents, the \Yaltmans and the Bierlys, were strongly opposite to the match. It was not alone that Conrad was known to be wild and headstrong. Katherine was a deeply religious girl and would as soon have cut off her right hand as to have become Conrad's light-of-love. \Vith all of his faults, Conrad had very high regard for personal honor in regard to women. He trained his sons that no \Valtman must ever sully the name of any woman. One of his sons, trained to that high ideal, compelled his own son to marry the girl he had betrayed. "No W altmaf/- ever leaves a woman to face shame and dishonor," he said. And there was the rub. Conrad could not off er Katherine honorable marriage. Germany at that time was under the iron law of eben burtig equal birth. Royalty could not marry nobility, and nobility could not marry commoners. The Bierlys were commoners. The only possible compromise was to make her his morganatic wife, which at best was only to recognize her as a legal concubine. He could never present her to court or to his circle of friends. She could never bear his name, have his title or share his honors. If children were born, they were only legalized bastards, and could not inherit name or title or estates. The Bierlys wanted Katherine to marry a farmer or burgher, and be come a good frau. The Waltmans were absolutely furious. They stormed and raged at their son's folly. Spoiled Conrad, utterly unused to discipline, accustomed to absolutely having his own way, selfish and high tempered, acted about as mean as a spoiled young fellow could. He "sassed" his parents good and plenty. He defied them. Vowed he would have Kather ine, and let the estates and the money go to the crown. Oh! they had some wild scenes over the matter. The upshot was that early in 1738, Katherine fled with her maid (her nurse, according to the Bavarian custom, she called her), and went to Hol land. Conrad, with his grandmother's legacy to help him out, promptly went to her and they were married. It was only a m~rganatic marriage. More than that, it was not even legally that. More than once, both in England and in Europe, the last apparent heir has been restrained by legal means from jeopardizing the rights of his successors to an entailed estate. Over the protests and the posi tive commands of the Countess Barbara, the last legal head of his house, and he the last, the very last link in succession, without nephew or cousin to pick up the severed link, he could not barter away his unborn children's rights without Countess Barbara's permission. She, of course, would not give it. Friends were sent to him in Holland to lay the situation before him. Legal representatives went to him to Holland. He was in a hornet's nest. Stubborn Conrad would not yield. Beside, Katherine was now in an inter esting condition. In July, 1738, Conrad fled from his tormentors. He took his Katherine to Rotterdam, Holland, and boarded the ship Davy, commanded by William Patton. They landed at Philadelphia October 25, 1738. And now Kather ine was a legal wife. None too soon, for late in the year she gave birth to twins. 41

CHAPTER IX

A NE\V LIFE IN A NE\V LAND

"All of their loi:e and their hatred and their en',:y is now perished."-Ecclesiastes, ix, 6

T w As a tremendous change to Conrad Waltman, from Bavaria to pioneer Pennsylvania. His home was no longer in a castle with a retinue of I servants to wait upon him and every luxury at his command. His new home was a large but plain log house in a frontier land, with what he consid ered peasants for neighbors, and occasional Indian visitors dropping in upon him. It was well furnished for a new country, for Conrad always wanted the best things that were procurable. But it was very different from appearing at the court of Elector or Emperor, clad in broadcloth and velvet, with a gold sword at his side, and wearing jeweled ribbons that denoted his rank. It was not like associating with ladies resplendant in courtly finery. It was not at all like the days when he used to ride to historic Heidelberg, or to Wittenberg or Strassburg. And being human, and being used to lord it over others, when the novelty wore off, it did not please him. When he arrived in Pennsylvania, Conrad cut quite a dash. He had money and he spent it recklessly. He bought up thousands of acres of land.

CourtesyoftheD.A.R.Magazine. THE LIVING ROOM OF 1750 Land underlaid with coal and oil. Every bit of this he eventually gambled away. Gambling was a gentleman's diversion, as he looked at it. And heaven knows, he needed diversion. Philadelphia was the metropolis. There was wealth there, not a little aristocracy, and society. He never got over the feeling that his good Kath erine was beneath him, though never a man had a better or a more patient wife. She put up meekly with his superior airs, and his irascible moods, and did her best to get the brood of children that came aiong to follow her example. It was she that made the sacrifices, she that did the work. It was she that trained that baker's dozen of children, for Conrad, who really loved them, had a poor way of showing it. He had no patience whatever with them, and half of his children left home on account of not being able to get along with their father. But dear, good, gentle, patient Katherine was ever a good mother. \::Vhat a grand woman she was! She may have been a "commoner," but she was one of nature's noble women as well. Moreover, Katherine was never at liberty to go with him when he wanted to make trips or go to Philadelphia. She brought new and vigorous blood into the family. In a little less than twenty-two years she presented her liege lord with thirteen sons and daughters. She had the German ideal that a wife had just three things to live for-outside, of course, to humor her husband's slightest whim-and that was the "kinder, kirche, kliche," of the Germans, the children, church and kitchen, in English. Instead of what

Magazine. 43 everyone thought would be her station in life, plenty everywhere, every convenience known in that day, and plenty of help, it was quite the reverse. Their money took wings. It was not easy in a new country to get kitchen maids, or seamstresses, or w~men to do laundry work. There was a big family and worlds to do. She was the one who stood the brunt of it all. Undoubtedly their home was well furnished for that day, for as long as Conrad had money he was not a niggard, but she had to do a half dozen women's work-and he let her.

Katherine learned to milk and make butter and cheese, render out lard, make soap and starch and blueing, cook and bake and scrub, spin and weave and sew and knit, stuff sausage, dip candles, and a hundred other things. Above all, she took the best of care of her brood of little ones. vVhere-did the money go that should have hired help for her? It went over the gaming tables of Philadelphia. Katherine dreaded unspeakably those annual or semiannual trips of Conrad to the city. Conrad took a half hearted interest in farming. He kept a drove of hands who cleared up his valleys and sowed them to grain. But whatever his crop, the gambling sharks got it. He gambled away his money. He gambled away his land, a hundred or two hundred acres at a time. He gambled away his stock and his produce. He had been known to take four-horse loads of wheat to Philadelphia and gamble away wheat, horses and wagons, and come home deeply in debt. He died dependent on his children for the bread that went into his mouth. Conrad always came home from an orgy of gambling, sour, blue, snappish and fault-finding. He was no match for the gambling sharks into whose clutches he fell, and who sneered almost in his very face at their easy victim. Letters never ceased coming from Germany. His parents wrote letters that would have moved a heart of stone-they ,vere so tender, pleading and pathetic. They begged him to come back to them because they were old and lonesome, and he was all they h;:i.d. Conrad would not leave poor Kath erine, nor his children. He made the excuse that he was in debt and could not come. Three times the \Valtmans sent to him a strong oak cask, bound 44 with stout brass hoops, filled to the brim with gold. These casks were long preserved in the family. The author's grandfather, Valentine '\Valtman4, saw them constantly at his own father's home, where his grandfather, Count Conrad, died. They were still there when Valentine was a man grown. Conrad gambled every bit of those three fortunes away, just as he had his grandmother's legacy, and just as he did the plate and other treasures sent him after his mother's death. As already told, he gambled away the very jeweled clasps off from the 110-year-old Bible. It was four years before the "\:V altmans swallowed their pride. Then Valentine wrote if Conrad would only come he might bring Katherine and the childrer.. What it cost to the proud man to write that, God only knows. Conrad promptly named the last baby after him, showing his annreciation for the overture. The Countess still wrote begging, pleading, heart-broken letters. A few years after, probably when Valentine died and life seemed utterly wretched and forlorn, she, too, gave up the struggle and asked him to bring his family. Again the newest baby was named Barbara because of this turn of affairs. But no pleading could have move Conrad. He had made a failure of his life, and he knew it. He could not and would not have the humiliation of having his family scorned by high-born no_bility. He apparently did not get along well with his boys; he was too irritable and captious. But he was eaten up with remorse that he had broken his parents' hearts, and cheated his children of their inheritance. It had been easy enough to throw away a fortune and a family tree for the sake of a pretty face that struck his fancy. A patient, forgiving wife his pretty bride turned out to be. But his parents; grief and the realization of the wrong he had done his children troubled him. All this told on his brain. Along in the 175 O's by spells melancholia gripped him. Old as he was, in July, 1776, when he was 61, he joined the Flying Squadron raised to repulse the British in New Jersey and Long Island. He enlisted under Col. Nicholas Lutz, Captain Peter Rundio and Lieut. Robert Brown, in Northampton County (Pennsylvania) Troops. See Penn sylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. VIII. Also Vol. XXIII, Series III, page 455. .

But it was soon evident that there were too manv "wheels" in his head for a soldier, so he was dismissed and sent home. Hi·s family has a remarkable record. The old Count not only joined the army himself, but all eight of his sons served in the Revolutionary \Var, three sons-in-law, and sixteen grandsons. \Ve doubt if there is another American family that has a record that equals it. The family believe that three sons died during the war. One of these, Nicholas, was said to have been his father's favorite. It was his death, it is said, that finished matters for the poor old man. He went violently insane. He lived 1 8 years more, but never recovered his faculties. One of the old family friends was Jacob Hottenstein of a good old German family. \Vith three of her sons dead and her husband insane, poor Katherine's cup of sorrow was full. This Jacob Hottensteinwrote a letter to her in German. Translated, it runs like this: "This world is full of trouble, labor and sorrow. It always was. It always will be. But he who puts his trust in the loving, living Lord, will be sustained." This old letter, 143 years old in 1921, when the old Bible came into the author's possession, was in the Bible, where Katherine \Valtman always kept it, because it was such a solace to her in her troubles. There was a good side to old Conrad, after all. Cranky he undoubtedly was, but after all he never swerved in his a:ff ections for his wife. She was still the one woman in all of the world for him. His word was highly respected. His sense of honor was keen. He respected religion and doubt less esteemed himself a Christian man. And he was a hospitable man. He himself was a Lutheran, but he had a most kindly feeling toward the Moravians, especially toward their missionaries, and he delighted to entertain them. The Moravians began their missionary work in Bethlehem, Pa., in 1 7 44, a little less than six years after the \Valtmans landed. The first church was put in the next year. Rev. Henry M. 1\tluhlenberg was their first pastor, and on his circuit to various points found a ready welcome there. Other missionaries followed. It is said that the v,..r altmans entertained Bishop David Nitschmann within three years after they came, as well as Bishop Spagenberg and Count Nicholas Zizendorff and his daughter Benigna, him self a great misisonary, when they came into that region, trying to convert the Indians, only four years after the \Valtmans came. Count Zizendorff was liked so well that the favorite son, Nicholas, was named after him. It is told of Count Zizendorff that an Indian determined to kill him. The Indian slipped up noiselessly. The good man was all alone, reading his Bible. Presently a poison snake crossed the room and cra,vled right over the missionary's feet, then crept away, without the missionary stirring or noticing it. The superstitious Indian told the tribe that now he knew that man was under the protection of the Great Spirit, and no one must do him harm. Carl \Veiser, the interpreter, it is said, was another vvelcome visitor. Their nearest church was at Bethlehem in an adjoining county. _-\. few years later a church was built in Sancon Township, in then Northampton County, on the main road to Philadelphia. In 1760, twenty-two years after their arrival, a new church, the first Zion Southern Church at Kreidersville was put up-perhaps a log building, and here they ever after worshipped. It is a side light on the dependability of their son Valentine, that although living miles away, and a young man of but 29, he was placed on the building com mittee that in 1771 erected the more substantial stone church. The W altmans did not lack for thrills. In 175 5 there was an Indian uprising uncomfortably near them. Within a few years there were several massacres. A very bad outbreak came in 175 6, when 114 whites were killed and 52 carried away captive. The Christian Indians joined their savage brethren, and were said to have been perfect devils. Terror was on every side. Three hundred refugees fled to Nazareth. Many went to Bethlehem and some to Lancaster County or to Philadelphia, or to such fort or blockhouse as could most readily be reached. The Waltmans fled somewhere, "flying for their lives." The cows were turned loose in the woods for their udders to spoil ; the cream was left to moulder in the churn; the bread to burn black in the big brick oven; the hogs and chickens turned loose to fend for themselves. Conrad delighted in good horses. The best and swiftest of these were harnessed to a couple of wagons, while fourteen-year-old Frederick and twelve-year-old \Villiam rode "lead" horses of the others roped together. The wagons were piled full of house hold plunder. Katherine2 and Margaret2, the twin sisters, were both married and gone. But there were the two women, the mother, Katherine, and seventeen-year-old Eleanor, nearly grown Valentine, little Michael, 4-year-old Anna Barbara, 2-year-old Ludwig and the "bit-y baby" Nicho las; there were bundles of clothes, bedding, victuals and hastily gathered-up valuables, that together filled the wagons to overflowing. And off they galloped to safety, fearing each moment to be surprised, tortured, scalped and killed. \\There were Conrad and John Peter? We have to read between the lines to answer. In 1755, with all this threatening, Benjamin Franklin led a movement to organize the pioneer men into companies of Militia or Minute Men. Conrad was no coward. It is as certain as a thing uncertain can be that both he and his past-sixteen-year-old son were both in the Militia and had to go to their companies. It was left to the next boy, Valentine, a boy of fifteen in 175 6, to look after the rest and be the man of the family. \Vhen the scare was over, the \Valtmans returned. Still, there was trouble and fear, on into and through 17 57 and perhaps later. Scarcely a list has come down of those Militia. None that give Conrad or John Peter's names, but that they were gone is shown by the fact that Valentine, a grown boy in his sixteenth year, but representing the family, signed a petition of Northampton citizens begging the authorities of the Colony to protect them from another threatened Indian uprising. This was in September, 175 7. See Valentine \Valtman's autograph, taken from that petition, as given in Chapter XVII. 47

vVyoming Valley, not far away, had three Indian wars in less than twenty years. Braddock's defeat at Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburg, July 9, I 7 5 5, meant danger to all eastern and central Pennsylvania. In 17 62 the "Pennimite" War arose when Connecticut settlers and Pennsvlvania set tlers claimed the same territory, and b~ood flowed freely. For ·seven years the state was in the throes of the Revolutionary "\Var. They had thrills good and plenty! Easton, Pa., was not so far away. How anxiously they all awaited the outcome of the great Peace Council in Easton, in 17 59, when the governors of two states and the chiefs of fifteen tribes, Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, Tuscarora, Nanticoke, Tutelo, Delaware, Unamine, Mun sey, Mohican, Conory, Chirgant, and Wappinge met together. The Chief Teedyuscung opened the pow-wow. "I called," he said. "The Indians have come. Speak, and they will hear-sit, and talk. I will sit, hear and see". Chief Tokaio of the Cayugas spoke. "A road has been opened for us to this Council fire. Blood has been spilt upon that road. By this belt [ of wampun,] I wipe away that blood, I take the tomahawk from off your heads." In all the chiefs made twelve speeches, some of them warlike. T eedyuscung said to the white governors, "You placed us at Shaksmoken and Wyoming-You have sold that land-I sit like a bird upon a bough-I look around and know not where I may take my rest-let me come down and make that land my own that I may have a home forever." Conciliatory Chief Nichas said, "This deed we remember-We sold the land-all things are right." Then Teedyuscung agreed, "Onas, son of Penn [evidently an Indian name for the governor of Pennsylvania]-We trust him-we know him-he loves justice-we are satisfied." And the treaty of peace was signed. Two German papers were com ing to the W altmans at that time. One from Germantown and one from Lancaster County. For eighteen years there had been but one post-office in all that great county,, that of Wilkesbarre, and they were lucky to get mail once in a couple of months when someone went after it. After the scare of 175 6 was over, a regular stage coach, with driver and an armed "courier," ready to open fire on any skulking Indian that would try to stop them, was put on between New York City and Philadelphia, and then on to Baltimore, and there was a mail once in two weeks at a much nearer post-office now for the Waltrnans. Imagine the eagerness to read the out come of this Council, two weeks after it was all over with! Twenty-one years more, in 1777, they had a post-office in their own township, and mail once a week. Katherine died after the '\\rar was over, in 1786. She was buried in the churchyard of the old stone or Zion's Church, fifteen miles northwest of Easton and near Kreidersville. It stands on an eminence overlooking a beautiful valley. Her sons, John Peter and Valentine (it is supposed as to the latter), their wives and children, lie buried there also. John Peter put up her monument. On it it states that she was born in 1708. That was the error of a careless stone-cutter. She was born in 1718, ran away at twenty, was the mother of thirteen children, the youngest of whom was . born in 1760, when she was in her 43rd year. She lived at the old home and tenderly cared for her poor old husband. Her daughters Anna Barbara and Maria helped her do this, until after the war was over in 1783. Theri Andrew, the youngest of all, took their place and was his mother's right hand man. After her death he kept bachelor's hall three years. Then he married the daughter of his captain, Adam Zarfess. It suited the Captain, but not his daughter, the fair Anna Maria Margretta. She was very much in love with another man. Those were the days when children obeyed their parents. "Andrew \:Valtman is the finest man I ever knew," said Captain Zar fess. "A good son makes a good husband. You will marry Andrew Walt man." She married him. He proved to be the best of husbands, sure enough. But once, when someone said-"You are glad enough now that you took Andrew Waltman, are you not?" The little woman's eyes snapped fire. "I wouldn't give Andrew Walt man's whole body for the other man's little finger," she said. But she got over it, as people will, did her share in taking care of the insane father-in law. She was really a happy, useful woman, and her husband thought to the day of his death that no one else was like his own "Anna Maria Mar gretta," as he always called her, as though her very name was so precious to him that he could not let a syllable of it get away from hirri. Poor old Count Conrad lived until 1 796. There is no trace of his grave; though doubtless he was buried by the side of the woman for whom he gave up wealth, position and parents and crossed the ocean to make her his legal wife. What a strange bundle of inconsistencies he was! So sharp and crabbed in the family, and such a mortification to his children that no one erected a marker to his grave. :More than that, in a day when every child was expected, as a mark of respect to name after a father, not a son named a child for him. His daughters were filial enough to do this, yet we remem ber that a daughter ran away and married at fifteen. As a parent Count Conrad was as little a success as he was as a son or husband. Poor Conrad! May the good Lord, who knew how much he was spoiled in the bringing up, make allowance for him, and may we find him in a better world, redeemed by his Maker. If there have been better, there have been worse men. 49

CHAPTER X

THE INJURY TO THE OLD BIBLE

"They Belie•z:ed the Scriptures."-] ohn, ii, 22

T HAS already been briefly told that Conrad "\Valtman in a fit of tem porary insanity tore out the fly leaves out of the old Bible that came I down from Count Hiram von Frundsberg. This was· in the autumn of 1777. His eight sons were in the Revolutionary \Var. Only his wife and two younger daughters, Anna Barbara and Maria, were at home. At that time the State was seething with war. Eight battles were fought on Pennsylvania soil, in three months' time, from September 3 to December 7, 1777. The American troops ran absolutely out of wadding, a necessity to the rifles of that day. Tow, hemp and paper were requisitioned by foraging parties sent out far and near. Church after church ioyally turned their hymn-books over to the American troops. There are Pennsylvania records which tell that Captain Vveitzel asked twice in 1777 for hemp for wadding before he could get any. Colonel Bertram Galbraith took from the press of the Mennonites at Ephrata, Pa., three cart-loads of unbound Bibles. Shortly after on a similar occasion, in the neighbor state of New Jersey, occurred the incident related by Brete Harte in his poem of "Parson Caldwell:" "Here is the spot. Look around you. He had cause you might say. Above on the heights When the Hessians that dav, Lay the Hessians encamped. Marched up with Knyphaus.en. By that church on the right They stopped on their way, Stood the gaunt Jersey farmers, To the farms, when his wife, And low ran a wall. With a child in her arms, You may dig anywhere Sat alone in the house. And you will turn up a bal1. How it happened none knew Nothing more. Grasses spring, But God and that one of the hireling crew Waters rush, flowers blow, \Vho fired the shot. Enough! Now she lay, Pretty much as they did 92 years ago. And Caldwell, the chaplain, her husband away.

Nothing more, did I say? Did he preach? Did he pray? You've heard of Caldwell, the parson, Think of him as you stand \Vho once preached the word Bv the old church to-dav. Down at Springfield. What, No? Come Keep the ghos:: of that ~ife That's bad. Why, he had all Foulv slain in vour view. All the Jerseys aflame. What would you do? Why, just ·what he did. And they gave him the name Thev were left in the lurch Of the "Rebel High Priest." For ·the want of more wadding. He stuck in their gorge. He ran to the church, He loved the Lord God, Broke the door, stripped the pews, And he hated King George. Looked out in the road 'With his arms full of hymn-books, And threw down his load At their feet. Then above All the shouting and shots, Rang his voice. "Put Watts into 'em! Boys, give 'em \Vatts !" And thev did. That is all. You may dig any·where And you will turn up a ball. But not alwavs a hero Like this, and that's all!" 50

A DOGBLE PAGE FROM AX OLD HYMX BOOK OF THE 1600's

It was in 1780 when Bret Harte's hero "gave them \Vatts." Over in Pennsylvania in the autumn of 1777, when the poorly equipped American army were fighting desperately against great odds, there was the same calamity, no wadding. Some one told the officers that there was a "crazy German" in Northampton County that had a whole roomful of books. That was Conrad V•.7altman. Officers and soldiers appeared and demanded the books in the name of the Continental Army. Of course the easily unbalanced fellow became excited. He carried out armful after armful of his mother's cherished books that had been sent to him after her death fifteen vears be fore. Some of these were very rare. He tore to pieces the vene~able old Lutheran hymn-book, that was then over 100 years old. Next followed the family Bible, 125 years old, and treasured because the last Count Frundsberg bought it, and because it had the old, old records of the family in it. Good Katherine begged the officers to not let it be de stroyed. \\Then they did nothing to stop him, she and her two strong-armed daughters tackled the madman and by sheer force took the Bible from him. 51

He gave a last fierce yank that tore the back loose, ripping out a V-shaped piece, and tore off a strip of the pig-skin binding from the back cover. He jerked out all of the :fly leaves, back and front, and a dozen pages beside out of the front of the sacred book. The officers grabbed their arms full of papers and scraps, then :fled. Those priceless records of hundreds of years, that could never be replaced, were fired away at the British. Religiously the three women gathered up every scrap that was left. \Vhen the Bible came into the author's possession in July, 1921, there were still three double leaves of the more than a hundred-year-old Lutheran hymn-book in the old Bible, Jacob Hottenstein's letter, and the dozen loose leaves torn out of the Bible. An expert repaired it, putting in a false inside back and attaching the old one to it, antiquing a piece of pig-skin and insert ing it in where the wedge had been torn out, and making it ready for another three hundred years. During the repairs, safely hidden under the lining of the inside back cover, was found fragments of an old document that had doubtless been kept in the Bible, and had been torn into bits by Conrad in his frenzy. Poor Katherine had gathered every scrap she could find of what she knew was a most important document of settlement between Valentine Waltman and Count Hiram von Frundsberg, on the occasion of the former becoming of age, April 9, 1699. She slipped in every scrap, some of them not over an inch in diameter. Then she pasted the lining back. Out of eleven pieces only two matched. This shows something of what a good sized document it was. German experts deciphered enough to tell that it was an accounting with an heir that had come of age. Probably not over a fourth or a fifth of the manuscript was left. Count Hiram showed a careful, methodical mind. Everything was shipshape, and his writing was plain, as a college man's writing should be, but often is not. The letter of Jacob Hottenstein's has been referred to in Chapter IX. This Jacob Hottenstein was a prominent man in those days. He lived at a considerable distance from Allen Township, Conrad's home, in what was then Northampton County, but is now Luzerne. But the families visited each other. There was a congeniality: between them. Jacob Hottenstein himself descended from a noble German family. Not long after the visit of the officers to Conrad's home, seeking material for wadding, and shortly after the visit of Baron DeKalb and Baron Steuben as told in the next chap ter, a new misfortune visited the Waltmans. Eight sons were in the Revolutionary \"lar. William died in the service. A blow to the already distressed family. Then Frederick, fifer in another company, paid the supreme sacrifice, leaving a wife and three children. But the first of the three sons to sacrifice his life was the next to the youngest son, Nicholas, a happy-dispositioned boy and a handsome young fellow, who lost his life, in 1778. The other brothers, Frederick in 1779 and William in 1782, met their death. Poor Conrad went stark, raving mad over Nicholas' death. He never was sane again, although he lived eighteen years· longer, dying in 1796, 52

2.ged 81. Faithful Katherine cared for him. After Andrew, the youngest child, returned from the war, he cared for him and for her until their deaths. Katherine was broken-hearted over her husband's plight and the death of her three sons. Then it was that Jacob Hottenstein wrote that comforting letter, reminding her that ''this ,vorld is ,full of trouble and sorrow, but he who puts his trust in the loving, living God will be sustained." This letter was such solace to her that she kept it in the Bible. It was still there when the Bible came into the author's possession. The question has been asked, who fell heir to that .historic book? It was well understood that the Bible was to go to the oldest son's line. Probably that was Count Conrad's own request in his lucid hours. John Peter there fore should have been the next custodian. But he was not. The old man was a daily trial to care for. Andrew, the youngest of all, did this, and did it cheerfully. Peter was the soul of generosity. "\Vhen the father died in 1 796 he insisted that Andrew was entitled to it above any other son, as he had so faithfully cared for both parents. So Andrew kept it, and his bold autograph is seen on the inside cover of the front lid. Andrew told his children that the Bible should next go to his oldest son, Valentine, the author's grandfather. But his wife, Anna Maria Margretta, thought differently. Valentine was a fine young man, that any mother might well have been proud of. The next son, Adam, was named for her own father. But her special favorite was the third son, Abraham. \Vhen the two oldest sons were both married and in homes of their own, Anna Maria Margretta took things into her own hands and gave the precious book to Abraham, giving as her excuse that he was "such a fine German scholar." Abraham's line kept it until 1 921, when the last owner of that book, Oscar Waltman of San Diego, California, for reasons that seemed good to him, restored it to the line of Valentine, "where we knew all of the time that by rights it belonged." Valentine left only daughters, of whom Kezia \Valtman Nichols, the author's mother, was the oldest child. At the time the Bible changed hands, July, 1921, there were but two of Kezia's children alive, Valentine Nichols, of San Jose, Calif., and Lora La Mance, the writer of this book. Valentine Nichols was as generous in his day as Peter Walt man was in his. He surrendered his rights to his sister, only asking that for six weeks he might have it in his possession. He studied it lovingly all of this time and then gave it up to her. FRAGMENTS OF' A DOCUMENT OF APRIL 9, 1699, FOUND HIDDEN IN A SECRET POCKET ~, OF THE OLD FRUNDSBERG-WALTMAN BIBLE

CHAPTER XI

\'ISITORS FROM VALLEY FORGE

"Faithful nzen, ':L·ho may be able to teach others also."-2 Tim., ii, 2

VERY American knows about Valley Forge and the terrible hardships endured there that fearfully hard winter of 1777-1778. Hungry, E enduring half starvation, the soldiers were ragged and their bleeding chapped feet were making bloody tracks in the snow. Horses by the hun dreds were dying for lack of hay or straw. No medicine, no soap, no meat, sometimes no bread for days at a time. By February 1, nearly 4,000 men slipped silently away. Not really deserters, but their heart failed them as they became cold and weak, and no succor in sight. This was the time when tradition tells that Washington was seen to kneel by a tree and heard to pour out his heart in earnest supplication to God to help the Americans in this hour of direst need. To the Waltmans this time is of special interest, for five of the Vlaltman sons were there, freezing and nearly starving. These were the five, John Peter, Hiram Michael, Ludwig, \\Tilliam and Nicholas. It was possible that Andrew was there also. It was a crisis in America. It was not only that the British trained troops outnumbered us; our soldiers were destitute of the commonest equipment of war, lacked clothing, blankets, money, food and medicine. There were no experts to drill and discipline the troops. \Ve must have money or credit to buy guns, cannon and ammunition, and we needed trained military men to develope efficient soldiery. Congress wisely sent Silas Deane, a level headed and most persuasive diplomat, and Benjamin Franklin that all Europe admired and believed in, to France. They secured credit and arms. They also secured three leaders that could train and weld together our many diverse American elements into one strong fighting machine. A wiser, better,

\j BARON DEKALB BARON STEUBEX 54 stronger choice could scarcely have been made. These three were Marquis de Lafayette, Baron De Kalb and Baron von Steuben. Marquis Marie Joseph Paull Yves Roch Gilbert Du Mortier La Fayette was but nineteen years old when he came over. At the age of thirteen he was left an orphan, his father, mother and grandfather all dead. Their com bined fortunes left him a princely inheritance. He was married at sixteen to a daughter of the Due de N oailles. His rank gave this enthusiastic young nobleman a tremendous influence in both France and America. He espoused America's cause. \Vhen he attempted to leave, the French government for bade it. At the instance of the British Ambassador, French troops seized the ship that La Fayette was fitting out at his own expense, and even went so far as to put the Marquis himself under arrest. He eluded his guards, in disguise, and with eleven chosen companions sailed from a port in Spain. Two British cruisers were sent in pursuit of him, but he reached our shores in safety. No wonder the hearts of the American forces were elated over such a oowerful aid as La Fayette could be, and proved to be. He threw himself whole souled into the patriot cause. He was a special favorite with Washington. The Marquis assured Congress that he asked but two things; to serve with out pay, and to be a volunteer without rank of any kind. Congress on July 31,, 1777, passed a resolution that "his services be accepted, and that, in con sideration of his zeal, illustrious family, and connections, he have the rank and commission of a Major General of the United States." He was wounded that same fall, at Brandywine, September 11, but he had proven in actual trial that he had both courage and discretion. When he recovered, he went to Valley Forge, as did also Baron De Kalb, and they bore the hardships without a murmer.

SOLDIER'S HUT AT VALLEY FORGE j.)

Baron Johann De Kalb was born in 1 721 in Alsace. He was only six years younger than Count Conrad \Valtman, and his home was near Bavaria. The two families were acquainted with each other, and the Baron had visited the ancestral home of the Frundsburg-\Valtmans only a short time before the Countess Barbara's death and heard her lament that her onlv son chose to make his home in "a barbarous wilderness," far from those of ·his own birth and breeding. Baron De Kalb, when he came to \Vashington in September, 1777, was fifty-six years old. Keen, able, well-trained in military science, he was wel comed by the American officers. The rank and file liked him. As active and full of life as a boy, always smiling, always affable, he made friends everywhere. He fell with eleven wounds at Camden, South Carolina, in 1780, and died for the American cause. Baron Frederick \Villiam August von Steuben was born in Magdeburg, Germany, November 15, 1730. So he was forty-seven past when he came, and he had a fame that had made him known over three continents. At fourteen he served under his own father at the seige of Prague in Bohemia. He became Adjutant General over Prussia, and was famous as a trainer and a disciplinarian. He wrote a practical treatise on military tactics. At thirty two he was made a baron for his services. In the Seven Years' \Var of Fred erick the Great, he was a general. Afterwards Frederick made him Adjutant General over Germany and made him the chief of his own personal body guards. It is said that Frederick the Great was the most rigid disciplinarian that ever lived. Steuben was almost as thorough.

The Baron's private fortune brought him in an income of $4,000.00 a vear. He resolved to eschew war and travel. He turned down offer after ~ffer from other governments to train their soldiers after his efficient meth ods. But in France Franklin and Deane so pathetically pleaded the cause of the American colonies that the Baron came over, reaching \Vashington at Valley Forge, on February 28, 1778. He at once offered to serve without pay-there never was a more generous man-and to serve without rank. Congress made him a Brigidier General and made him the Director of Mili tary Tactics, and Inspector General. It had been a terrible winter. The British with their superior numbers and better equipment had won the two hard fought battles of Brandywine and Germantown, followed by their marching into Philadelphia, where they remained over winter, feasting, dancing, wining and enjoying themselves. General \Vashington with 10,000 troops, on December 19th marched into Valley Forge, eighteen or twenty miles from the city, where they encamped for winter. It was a stragetic position. The British could not get past the American troops to the south or west. On one side of the valley were pre cipitous cliffs. At one end the waters of the Schuylkill were an barrier. As for the rest of the valley it was protected by earthworks and rifle pits. The soldiers put up log huts with the crevices filled with cement. But one in every five was barefooted in December. By February 1, one half were barefooted and their clothing in rags. No blankets, and the hard est, coldest, bitterest weather in years. Washington frantically appealed to Congress, to men of wealth, to farmers. He begged for food, for shoes, for hay, yes, even straw, to feed the famished horses, dying by the hundreds. The worst was over by February, although hard enough even then. Steuben said he had never seen another commander that would not have surrendered under such incredible hardships. When Steuben came and began drilling the soldiers he found them pro foundly ignorant of military requirements. They were sure enough the "awkward squad." The Baron was high strung. They tried his patience, and sometimes he let loose a volley of such profanity as was never heard be fore, such a mixture of German, French and English. When he cooled off he would give the soldiers all of the money he had, help them get shoes and coats and something to eat and personally visited the sick. He was im mensely popular with the soldiers, and sitting around their camp fires they would laugh by the hour over his queer English and his many-languaged profanity, and his rip-roaring impatience. Camden, in Anecdotes of the American \Var, tells that on one occasion when the Baron had used his full vocabulary of oaths in German and French, he vociferated to his aide-de-camp, Major \Valker, "Vien Mon ami \Valker! vien mon bon ami ! Sacra-G-- dam de gaucherie of dese badauts-je ne puis plus-I can curse dem no more!" When the war was over, Congress gave him a gold-hilted sword and a township of land near New York, and an annuity of $2,400.00. New Jersey, Virginia, New York and Pennsylvania gave him land also. He divided some of the land with other officers he thought needed it and always shared his .J / annuity with others. He always shared whate,0 er he had with others. He died in 1794, on his estate at Steubenville, N. Y.

THE VISIT OF STEGBE:::-- AXD DE KALB They heard of Conrad \Valtman over in Valley Forge. The old noble man who himself had served three months in the Flying Camp in 1776. Everyone of his eight sons, his sons-in-law and every grandson as soon as he was big enough to march and carry a gun, each and all volunteered until nearly thirty were in the army. Five and perhaps six of his sons were right there in Valley Forge, freezing and starving, but sticking it out. De Kalb knew Conrad personally. He and von Steuben resolved to visit him. By starting at four o'clock in the morning, and by hard riding, they could reach the \Valtman home after dark. This was what they did. They spent two nights and one whole day with Conrad's family, leaving before daylight the third morning to return to Valley Forge. That was in March, 1778. What meals, cooked in the good old-fashioned German way, Katherine and her two daughters, Anna Barbara and lVIaria, set before them! The chickens suffered that day! Sausage, souse, ham, fresh pork, spare ribs, tenderloin, milk, butter and eggs; potatoes, pumpkins, carrots, cabbage and saurkraut, were set before them. There were pies, cakes, German puddings sweetened with maple sugar; there was sassafras tea, buttermilk, dumplings, smearcase, bread and butter, everything the good frau could rake or scrape together. It was a giorious day! Conrad was at his best. He was fortunately per fectly rational that day, and delighted to entertain men of his own rank. He was in high good humor, and Conrad at his best could be most entertaining. Long, long afterwards the daughters told of De Kalb describing his visit of twenty years before to Conrad's mother, the Countess Barbara, and of how she sat surrounded by her books, a great scholar, as everybody knew. They remembered how_ the courtly baron spoke of the famous scholars back in the line; of the poet-laureate, Conrad, and his wife, the woman writer of a day when women writers were as scarce as hen's teeth; and she was another Barbara, as was this pretty girl, Anna Barbara, now waiting upon them. And Conrad glowed and spoke of these old forebears also. The memory of that visit never left them. Nor their pride that they felt when they heard out siders telling of this learned Conrad and Barbara, and of the old titled line of the Counts who died :fighting for the Bible and their Protestant faith. This was the last sunshine in Conrad's life. A son killed; another died in the service. Frederick and ,villiam no more. And then the news that the old man's favorite, gay, laughing, handsome Nicholas, had died for his country. It was too much for the old man's shattered brain. He went ab solutely insane. The cloud never lifted. For eighteen long, weary years, Conrad was cared for as a child. The two attractive daughters spurned all suitors to help their sacrificing mother care for him. Not until Andrew came home after the war, and took the brunt of the care of their father upon him self, did these faithful sisters marry. CHAPTER XII

THE NEXT GENERATION, IN BRIEF

"Search niay be made in the book of the records of thy fathers."-Ezra, iv, 15

EFORE taking up the descent of the families from Count Conrad and Katherine \\Taltman, we give this brief resume of their thirteen chil B dren. After the destruction by fire of the records of Valentine Walt man in the summer of 1873, there remained no complete record of the births and deaths of these sons and daughters. Nevertheless, the list as given is not far from right as regards the order of the children. \Ve know who the four oldest were, we also know the four youngest. The other five are somewhere in between, and of one of these we have the date, and another we know by certain data. The two oldest children were twin daughters, Margaret3 and Katherine,3 born late in 1738. Katherine3 was named after her mother. She was reported to have been a very beautiful woman. She certainly was a chip off from the old block. She ran away at fifteen, and married Barnett Hampshire. They went to Lancaster County to live. When things got pretty rough at home, the other girls would go to visit her and stay a few months, and she always married - them off. Blessed be a family match-maker! Several of her sons served in the Revolutionary \Var, and one, Adam Hamsher, was a well-known captain. Margaret3 was supoosed to have been named after her father's grand mother, the Dowager Countess Margaret von Frundsberg. She, too, passed the good looks on to her family. She married John Yonce, son of the emi grant Melchior Yant, and lived in Lancaster County. All of her sons served in the Revolutionary War, as did her husband also. She dutifully named after her family. She had Conrad, Peter, Nicholas, Andrew, John and Val entine. Ber's has been a prominent and fine family, and she did not fail to hand down the fine looks of the Waltmans. Her daughters are not cer tainly known. Eleanor, named for her father's grandmother, whose husband, Count Pedro, was assassinated by orders of Louis XIV, was born early in 1740. She married Michael Lutz. This was another Lancaster County match. Right after the Revolutionary War she was known to have been quite a wealthy widow, living then in Berks County. She, too, named after her father's family, and had several sons in the \Var of Independence. Her daughters are not known. Sergeant John Peter Waltman was born May 9, 1741. He married a Miss Boyer. One daughter carried on the line. Both sons died unmarried, one but a child. Frederick was born in 1742. He was a fifer, and was killed in the War in 1779. He left three sons, one of whom died ~ithout heirs. William was next. He helped to defend Philadelphia in 177 5 and en listed again. He died in the latter part of the Revolutionary War, leaving a son, William. 59

Yiichael was another son who broke away from the rest of the family. \\T as he another one that could not get along with his father? He went to Maryland, and his sons went to Indiana. A prominent line. A soldier and pensioner. · Lieut. Valentine lived and died in Northampton County, Pa. One daughter lived to marry and two sons. A large and influential family. Anna Barbara was born about 17 52. After the Revolutionary \Var was over she married Jacob Kuder. The descendants traced are of Ohio. Ludwig \Valtman was born in 175 4. He was a pensioner and died in York County in 1822. He had a son Lewis. v,.r e know little of this family. Almost certainly he was another son that did not get along well with his father. Some have thought he was not Conrad's son, but he was, and served for a time in Jvlichael's company, or so it is indicated as the two were paid off together. Nicholas was the eleventh child, born about 175 6. He is said to have been merry and happy of disposition. Tradition says he was his father's favorite, and that his death, during the War of Independence, was what finally upset Conrad's brain, never to become rational again. Maria Waltman, the youngest girl, was married not far from 1786 to Melchoir Ruckle. The lines traced went to Ohio. Fine people. Andrew Waltman, born 1760. The youngest of all. Like every one of his brothers, he was a soldier. He married his second cousin, Anna Maria Margretta Zarfess, and he and she faithfully, carefully and dutifully cared for his afflicted father until the father's death in 1796. The author is de scended from him. We have the fullest data of his line of any of the Waltmans. The next chapters will take up in detail the history of these families as far as it is known. None of the Waltmans have been traitors to what they believed was right. They have loved their country. They have ever been a religious family and have stood well in their communities. If we have not been over rich or powerful or famous, we have been good people in the main, and that is better. There is inserted in the book four leaves, ( 8 pages) left blank for inser tion of private records. This will prove a convenience to those whose lines are but briefly mentioned. Those who have further data on their particular family should certainly enter it on these blank leaves for the benefit of their children after them. 60

CHAPTER XIII

LINE OF KATHERI~E \\'" ALTMAN H_.\:\1PSHIRE

HRIST:.\'!AS, 173 8, filled Conrad and Katherine's stockings to overfl.o\V ing. Two bouncing baby girls had come to share their lot in the C new world, Margaret and Katherine. It was not always a harmoni ous home. Conrad was irascible and at times unreasonable. A number of his children left home because he was so hard to get along with. Now Katherine was not her meek, long-suffering mother. Not at all. She had some of Conrad's high mightiness, which is another way of saying they clashed in a lively way sometimes. In those days, and in a pioneer land, there was no outlet for the girl, and her father's notions were too aristocratic for him to have permitted her to make her living outside of her home, even if there had been an opportunity. So Miss Katherine took the bit in her teeth and ran away. She eloped. 1\1arried at fifteen, and was a mother at sixteen. Tradition has always said she was a beautiful woman. She went at once to Lancaster County and lived there the rest of her life. There was prob ably considerable feeling between herself and her father. She seems to have been only a shadowy name to the younger children, so we may suppose she gave her father's home a wide berth. When the author was fifteen a Doctor Hampshire came to our county, and lived there for some years, and Kezia \Valtman Nichols and he soon found that her father and his grandmother were own cousins. He was a popular man, jovial and lively, and a remark ably handsome man. They had two daughters, Lena and ---. Kezia said that was the only time she ever saw one of the Hampshires. But Katherine2 remained on good terms with the rest of the family. \Vhen her father was too imperious, first her twin sister Margaret, and then the next sister, Eleanor, took the occasion to make Katherine Hampshire a "visit." And each time Katherine married her sister off to a Lancaster County man. Hamsher and Humsher soon became Hampshire. Fifteen-year-old Katherine Waltman married Barnett Hampshire in 1753. He was almost certainly the son of Anton Hamsher and his wife Mary (Barnett) Hamsher, who landed in Philadelphia in 1748 from the Ship Patience and Margaret, via Rotterdam, Holland. Mary is thought to have been the daughter of John and Janett Barnett, religious refugees of the Platinate of Bavaria. They came early to America. They had six sons and this daughter Mary. One of these Barnetts was killed by Indians and another son was captured and redeemed "for the price of a handsome horse." So they were pioneers of pioneers. It was natural enough that Anton Hamsher's family went at once to hunt up Mary's people in Lancaster County, Pa. Barnett and Katherine had nine sons. If any daughters they are un known. CAPTAIN ADAM HAMPSHIRE: (Humsher, Hamsher). He was born in 17 54 to a 16-year-old mother. He had four uncles and aunts younger than he. He was a pensioner in 1833, then 79 years old. His tax receipts 61 show that he was in good circumstances. There are a dozen notices of his· military services in the Pennsylvania Archives, Series III, V, VII and VIII. See these, all in Series III, Vol. XVI, page 72+; Vol. XVIII, pages 13, 148, 263. Many others. \Vhile· he served in the Continental Line, his longest service was in the 7th Company of the Third Battalion of Northampton County Associated :Vlilitia, as ensign, lieutenant and captain. In all he served from 1777 until the close of the war in 1783. His uncle, John Peter \Valtman, his future uncle who later married Anna Barbara \Valtman (Jacob Kuder) and his brothers, Daniel and Barnett Hampshire, Jr., were under him. Quite a family affair. BARNETT HAMPSHIRE,3 Junior (Humsher). He served in the same company in 1782 under Captain John Deter and "Lieut. Adam Hum sher." See Pennsylvania Archives, _Series III, Vol. XXI, page 615, and Series III, Vol. XIX, page 351. DANIEL HAMPSHIRE~ (Hamsher). Was in the same company. See Pensylvania Archives, Series III, Vol. XXIII, page 305. HIRAM HA1\1PSHIRE3 (Hamsher). \Vas named for Conrad \Valt man's grandfather, Count Hiram von Frundsberg. He was also a Revolu tionary soldier. CONRAD HAMPSHIRE3 (Humsher). \\Tas named for his grand father, Conrad Waltman. He served in the war under Captain Philip Beck in the 6th Company of the 3rd Battalion of Lancaster County Militia. See Pennsylvania Archives. JOHN HAMPSHIRE:: in 1790 was living in York County, Pa., near his uncle, Ludwig Waltman. At that time he had a wife, two sons under 16 years of age and two daughters. VALENTINE HAMPSHIRE.:; ANTHONY HAMPSHIRE.:i JACOB HAMSHIRE1 in 1 793 married Catherine Ulrich. One of these sons, .!vhich one is unknown, except that it was one of the four other than Adam who served in the war, i.e., Barnett Junior,3 Daniel,3 Hiram:: or Conrad/ took up a soldier's land-grant or homestead in Pompey, N. Y., in 1798. He is supposed to be the grandfather of Frank Hampshire, D.D.S., of Indiana. Katherine ( vValtman) Hampshire was alive at seventy-three in 1 811, when she signed some legal papers. And that is the sum total of ail that we know of the Hampshire family. CHAPTER XIV

THE LINE OF MARGARET \VALTMAN YONCE

"Thou art a fair 'Woman to loo_k upon."-Gen., xii, 11

ARGARET W ALTMAN 2 was one of the twin daughters, the beginning of Conrad1 and Katherine's familv. She was one of the beauties M of the family, and her good looks· have gone down the family to the sixth, seventh and eighth generation. Tall, stately sons and daughters, well formed features and a complexion that is a blending of the rose and the lily. She was still living in 1811 when she signed legal papers. At about seventeen she made a visit to her twin sister, Katherine Hamp shire, and there met her husband, John Yonce. Their marriage was a con genial one. Their home was first in Lancaster County and in their later years in Dauphin County. She had six sons, Peter,3 Conrad,3 Valentine,3 Andrew,3 Nicholas3 and John.3 John was named for his father, Conrad for her father, and Valentine, Peter, Nicholas and Andrew for four of her broth ers. The order of their births are not known, save that Nicholas and An drew were the youngest sons. This indicates pretty plainly that Margaret occasionally journeyed back to her father's home and became acquainted with the younger members. For Nicholas was but a baby when she left, and her brother Andrew was not born until four years after her own marriage. It is thought there were two girls, Katherine3 and Barbara,3 but this is not certain. John Yonce, the husband, was the son of Melchior Yant, (pronounced Y ont), who came in the Ship Robert and Oliver, Walter Goodman, master, sailing from Rotterdam, and landing in Pennsylvania, September 11, 1738, just two weeks before the arrival of Conrad Waltman. He was a Palatinate from Bavaria, which means he left all behind him, the only terms on which he was allowed to go and take his family, leaving all of his possessions to the

Melchoir Yant received a warrant for 5 0 acres of land in Lancaster County in 174 7. I-le had three sons-John, Jacob and Casper. Jacob's. descendants live near Harrisburg, the state's capital, and mostly write their names as Y engst and Yingst. John Yonce and his six sons all fought in the Revolutionary War. John Yonce, Senior, died before 1790. Before taking up their war records, let us notice the surprising changes in the surname of this family. It is doubtful if another such an instance can be found in the whole world. In 5 0 years, 1738-1788, as shown by county, military, land and tax records, this surname was written in over 100 different ways. The emigrant Melchoir Yant was himself listed Yant, Y ont, Yand and Yundtt. John Yonce, who married Margaret Waltman, was put down as Yonce, Y ont, Y ent, Youse, Yong, Y ons, Youst and Yontz. His son Conrad in the military records is given as Yingst, Yonce, Youtz and Yeser. Valen tine is recorded as Yonce, Y ent. But Peter! In five years he is put down 11 ways, Yonce, Y engst, Yungst, Yingst, Y outz, Y ountz, Yount, Y ont, Yonts, Y erts and Ungstl For curiosity's sake these more than 100 spellings and pronunciations are given: Yonce Yengst Yont Yonts Youtz Yungst Ungst Yerts Yountz Youne Yunt Yunts Yand Yundtt Yundt Yandt Yunck Yon Yonn Yent Yentz Yents Youse Yong Yons Yingst Yezer Yeunts Yohns Yohn Younce Youps Yant Yeengst Yencht Yendt Youch Youts Yohnz Yennts Yennts Yezent Yountt Yuntt Yertz Ongest Ounce Yencht Yaunts Yauntz Yennz Yeuts Youtz Yezen Yohns Yuntt Oungst Monounce Yeinst Yontz Unangst Yunte Younze Ungstz Yone Yaun Yoncz Yants Unst Yontuze Yaunz Yonde Yond Unce Yaunze Youncez Yungzt Youz Yantz Yeaunts Ungst Unce Unts Untz Untze Younz Yingz Yaungz Yous Yeauntz Yaunts Yuntz Yunce Yans Yaunze Yench Yings Yune Younce Yaunts Youncez Yans Yuant Yount Yanz Yonze Yaunse Yonch Yunce Yonts Yauncz Yonz Yanze Inze Yaunce Yauntz Yondz Yunez Yunzt Yonzs One hundred and twenty ,·ersions, and I+ more that are past the English tongue to pronounce!

One hundred and thirty-four ways of spelling one German name! Mar garet's line nearly all adopted at last the simplest, plainest, easiest and most phonetic spelling of all, Y-0-N-C-E. At first glance it does not seem possible that all six of the Yonce's sons were in the Revolutionary War, but they were, and their Father also. Mar garet's children came fast. Peter and Valentine (twins?) were about 19 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. The war lasted seven years, and many a well-developed boy of 15 served in the war. So the boys all were soldiers, as were five of their Yonce cousins. There was no more patri otic state in the union than Pennsylvania. July 9, 1776, John Yonce, Senior, enlisted in the Northampton Troops of the Flying Camp, that his father-in-law, Count Conrad Vlaltman, also joined. His son, Valentine, also joined. John was under Captain Arndt, but Valentine was in the Eighth Company, under Captain Santee. This was the ill-fated Flying Camp which was so miserably defeated in New Jersey a little later and many prisoners taken. ( See Pa. Archives, Series V, Volume VIII, page 23.) Nothing daunted, John Senior enlisted twice more. Once under Captain John Sleter, in the 10th Battalion. John Junior and Conrad served with him. He was in Captain Sleter's Company in 1781 and before. (See Pa. Archives, Series V, Vol. VII, page 1038; Series V, Vol. VII, page 95.) Next he joined "for the ,var," under Major James Parr and Captain James Wilson, 1st Pennsylvania Troops, Continental Line. They were disbanded at the close of the war November 3, 1783. (See Series V, Vol. VII, page 450; also Series V, Vol. II, page 650.) He fought at Flatbush, Long Island and Monmouth. Valentine Yonce=: served more than once. He ,vas a substitute once for 60 days for Adam Esig, July 2, under Captain John Sentee, 8th Company, 2nd Battalion of Northampton troops. (Series V, Vol. VII or VIII, page 209.) He served in the Flying Camp troops to which his father and his grandfather Conrad \\Taltman belonged, and was lucky enough to escape being captured. He served under Captain Santee, 8th Company. (Series V, Vol. VII, page 540, and Series V, Vol. VIII, page 23.) He served again in the Continental Line, Lancaster Militia (Series V, Vol. IV, page 35 6. )The year after the war closed, and the Indian outbreak was so bad in \Vyoming, Pa., he served again, under Captain Lewis Stecher, 6th Battalion of Northampton County lvlilitia. Colonel Nicholas Kern in command. His uncle, Andrew \Valtman, was in the same Battalion (Page 47 5, Pa. Series V, Vol. VII). Peter Yonce': also enlisted several times. He is listed as a member of Captain Patrick Hayes' Company, Benjamin Miller, Lieutenant, in the 7th Battalion of Lancaster Troops. (Pa. Archives, Series V, Vol. VII.) Before that he was reported "on a tour of duty," July 1-29, 1781, defending and in the Battle of Lancaster. He served under Captain Casper Stoever and Lieut. Philip Greenawalt in the 2nd Battalion of Lancaster County. (See Pa. Archives, Series V, Vol. VII, page 128; also Series V, Vol. III, page 48 8.) In 1783 he was back again, called here "Petter Yonts" in the 4th Battalion, under the same Captain "Pattrick" Hayes. His then Lieutenant was Benjamin Mills. (Pa. Archives, Series V, Vol. VII, page 450.) He had served under Hayes and Mills, in Lancaster County. He enlisted in May, 1781 (page 693 of Vol. VII, Series V), and again listed in May, under same officers, in 7th Battalion, same records, page 770. This time he was Peter Y outs. As Peter Y engst he is given in Pennsylvania ·Archives, Vol. II, page 743, and Vol. VII, page 128, all of Series V. Conrad Yonce3 was in the 10th Battalion, both in 1781 and 1782, under Captain Andrew Stewart, 5th Company. He had previously served with his father in the Flying Camp in 1776. When the Indians were threatening the settlements in 1778, he served under Captain Whitley. These various services are recorded in Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. VII, pages 1005-1038. Also in History of Dauphin County, page 104. John Junior3 served in the Flying Camp in 1776, along with his father. (Series V, Vol. VII, page 96.) In 1786 he was living in Northampton County. Nicholas Y once:i (Yont) served in the 4th Company, 10th Battalion, under two separate Captains in three years. Captain John Lutz and Captain George Rees, and under Col. David Jenkins. (Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. VII, pages 481 and 981. Andrew Y once,3 had his services recorded in Pennsy1 vania Archives, Series V, Vol. VII, page 513. The baby of the family, but he got in! He was under Captain Martin Bowman, 5th Battalion of Lancaster County troops in 1783. About 1 790, or a little before, two of the Yonce brothers, Conrad3 and Valentine/ went to southern Virginia. Some of their descendants live in Jacksonville and Ocala, Florida, and in Kentucky to-day. Andrew Yonce went to St. Clair County, Mo. He married Esther Coulter. They had eleven children, Fannie, Virginia, Thomas, Flan, Vililliam, Maria, Margaret, Henrietta, John, Florence and Addie. Peter:; is the only one of them all whose line we can trace after 1800. He was married twice, first to Elizabeth Keller, and second to Clara -- In the Lower Saucon Reformed Church are these records of baptism. "Peter Unangst and wife Elizabeth, ~on Valentine, born September 28, 1784. Son Jacob, born May 13, 1789. Elizabeth, born October, 1787." In 1790 he was living in Chester County, and had four sons, so that two sons were born dur ing the war, and were older than his son Valentine. Elizabeth Keller was the mother of his children. 66

Elizabeth Keller, who married Peter Yonce, brought some good blood with her. Peter Keller (Keoler, Kehlor, Keohler ), was born in Switzer land about 167 5-1680. He was a very prominent, stirring, energetic man. He came with his family to Springville, near Trout Run, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in 1730. The family ret own the place. Here he built a grist mill, a great convenience to the early settlers. Two of his grandsons were officers in the Revolutionarv \:Var. His oldest son was Martin Keller (Keoler ), who was born in Switzer land about 1707. He died before 1770. Martin Keller, Junior. He was the father of Elizabeth who was the wife of Peter Yonce. 3 The Kellers were strong Lutherans. We know that Peter3 and Elizabeth Yonce had at least five children. In 1804 Peter deeded his farm to the oldest son, John.4 This son John died comparatively young, in 1814. He married Catherine Caswell, or accord ing to another authority living on the spot, Catherine Cassell, the daughter of Jacob Cassell. This last is probably correct. Their children were Peter,5 Elizabeth,5 Beaty,5 Thomas,5 Rebecca,5 Andrew5 and Ebenezer.5 PETER YONCE5 (Youts, Youse), [John,4 Peter,2 Margaret,2 Con rad.] He married Allie, daughter of Michael Brown. They had thirteen children, and four of the daughters never married. James Edward Yonce,° born 1828. Details are given of his line. Prof. William Brown Yonce.'1 A daughter may have married a Turner.

Opened a little store, and managed so well that she brought them up, gave them advantages not often attainable in the back woods, which that county certainly was at that time, and acquired enough to comfortably support her when she retired from a business life. If ever there was a saint on earth, and a refined woman of the highest ideals, it was Eliza Yonce. She brought her children up with great care. Her eight daugh ters were modest, attractive, capable women, every one. They had the \Valt rnan good looks, also. Louisa Virginia Yonce.' In the late 1870's she married a l\1r.

Rev. \Villiam Brown Yonce6 [John/ Peter/ John/ Peter/ Margaret/ 1 Conrad ], was a well known clergyman and a well known college professor as well. It is said that he was a perfect double in looks for President Ben jamin Harrison, and even in Washington was taken for him. He married Victoria, the daughter of Bishop J. J. Glossbrenner. She died in 1874. Their three sons were all educators. They were Professor Glossbrenner Victor Y once,7 of Lutherville Seminary, Virginia, I van Vernon Yonce,' of Salem, Virginia, who died in May, 1922, leaving at least one son, G.

LINE OF ELEANOR \VALTl\1AN LUTZ

"The lines ha'z.:e fallen to nie in pleasr;znt places. Yea, I hai:e a goodly heritage."-Psalms, X'r.:i, 6

ATHERIXE V,7ALTMAN's children were at the first very close together. So Eleanor, the third child, was born not long after the new year of K 1740. She was the second sister to visit Katherine Hampshire over in Lancaster County, and, like Margaret, match-making Katherine soon mar ried her off. Her husband was Michael Lutz. He is supposed to be the son of George Lutz who came over in the ship Davy, which landed at Philadel phia, October 25, 1738. This was the boat on which Conrad Waltman took passage, so that the two families knew each other. Michael was a lad going on eight, as he was naturalized upon coming of age, February 2, 1 745. The Lutz family came from Switzerland. We do not have a full list of their children. The oldest one seems to have been Hiram, named for Eleanor's great grandfather, Count Hiram Frundsberg. He served in the Revolutionary \Var, joining the army when a little under 18. That was in 1776. Before the war closed Andrew Adam Lutz, named for her brother and her mother's brother-in-law, served in the war also. Beside these we know of a son Conrad, named after her father, ("";p.f'\rrrP n.-:irnPrl fA,- h;c- Pm;i"'rt"'"'l't, ... n-t'"'--inrlf..,+-J...o...- f:.or...-rw-o.

Eleanor's husband died before 1779, when she is taxed as the "Widow Lutz." She was then living in Berks County, and was considered a wealthy woman for those days. Hiram Lutz enlisted under Colonel Morgan, November 16, 1776, in the Fifth Battalion of Lancaster County Troops. George Lutz and Conrad Lutz both marched under Lieut.-Colonel Heister, in Heister's Battalion in Company 6, Berks County Militia. They began service August 11, 1 78 O, in a general alarm, but were soon dismissed by General Morgan when the alarm subsided, and returned home. Later, both served with Berks County troops under Captain Ludwig. This is the sum total of our knowledge of this Lutz family. 7 I

CHAPTER XVI

LINE OF SERGEANT JOHN PETER \VALTMAN

"He v.:as a faithful man and feared God."-N eheniiah, vii, 3

OHK PETER WALTMAN:! was the oldest son of Conrad and Katherine (Bierly) \Valtman. He was born May 9, 1741, and died November J 9, 1817, in his 77th year. He was named for Conrad's grandfather, the unfortunate Castilian (Spanish) grandee who lost his life through the hired assassins of the French king, Louis XIV. John Peter,2 Valentine2 and Andrew2 are the best known of all of this large family. Perhaps that is because they all stayed fairly near together and lived and died in Pennsylvania. Three of their brothers lost their lives in the Revolutionary War; Ludwig went off into another county and seemed to keep aloof on general principles, and Michael went south. Naturally the memory of those who crossed over and of those who lived a good ways off, grew dim. John Peter was the full name of this oldest son, though he was more often called Peter. On account of such a large line of descendants coming from his nephew, Peter,3 son of Valentine Waltman,2 it has seemed best to speak of this older Peter as John Peter ,2 the name he himself gave when he enlisted, and reserve Peter for his nephew. John Peter's3 line has run out, save for the descendants of his daughter, Anna Barbara-Anewalt. But it will go down in the family's recollections; how generous and big-hearted he was in all his dealings with others, and how high were his principles. He was well-to-do for those days. He lived and died a few miles from his father, in Lehigh Township of what was then Northampton County. John Peters'2 two brothers, Frederick2 and Valentine/ each were married and had children, while John Peter was still a bachelor. Cupid found him a sweetheart at last. She was Maria Elizabeth Boyer of an old Bavarian family who came to America for religious liberty. They were married about 1774, when John Peter was thirty-three. She was devoted to the Church. The author has personally known some of these Boyers. They were fine people, good neighbors, religious almost to fanaticism, upright, honest, capable and industrious. But as firm as the rock of Gibralter itself! They were tall and blonde, some with hair of that rarest of all color, a pure gold. Not cottony, not auburn, not taffy-colored, but a clear yellow. Southern Bavaria is near Switzerland, and these Boyers were good singers. They were adepts, like the Swiss, at yodel singing. They were a merry, laughing, witty set, although their high spirits sometimes alternated with the deepest mel ancholy. Peter himself was getting to be something of a bachelor when he fell in love with this good-looking girl that could sing and laugh, spin and sew, and was famous for her bread and pies. John Peter2 and his father had never been congenial. Like most of Con rad's boys, he left home early. He was impatient with his father's cranki- 72 ness. He dearly loved his mother, and Katherine leaned on him for coun sel and affection. John Peter's marriage did not please Conrad. He married a commoner, but when his son married what he considered a peasant's daugh ter, a woman who worked in the field and helped to get in the hay, it was quite a different thing. If the good Maria Elizabeth took it to heart-and quite likely she did Peter was between two fires, his very decided wife, and his very trying father. John Peter was always ready to support his parents; but after Conrad com pletely lost his mind and had to be cared for like a child, he could not well bring his father to his own home over the opposition of his wife. John Peter felt that he, the :first born son, ought to have been the one to have cared for his unfortunate parent. During the Revolutionary War the two sisters, Barbara and Marie \¥altman, helped their mother care for him. After the war was over and the girls married, it was Andrew/ the youngest child of all, who shouldered the burden. John Peter2 felt.it keenly. When Conrad died in 1796, leaving the treasured old Bible behind him, it should have gone by rights to the oldest son. But John Peter generously insisted that Andrew that had done the elder son's part, should have that family heirloom. So it passed from the oldest heir to the youngest. John Peter/ as the oldest son, erected a grave stone to his mother's memory. But when his father died ten years later, he did not mark his grave in any way. \::Vhen once they had a grudge, the Boyers were stiff. Maria Elizabeth evidently did not stand for anything of the kind, and her husband craved peace. When the first disturbances arose in the Revolutionary War, three of the Waltman sons went at once, in 1775, to the defense of Philadelphia, John Peter, William and Nicholas. Every one of the sons were in the war eventually, but John Peter enlisted again and again, serving most of the time during the entire seven years, in the J\,,lilitia of Northampton County. Sometimes the Militia would be at their homes, but at an hour's call they shouldered arms and fought valiantly. He enlisted four separate times i!1 the Seventh Company of the Third Battalion of Northampton Troops, under Col. Nicholas Karr. In 1780, he served under his own nephew, Captain Adam Hamsher, in the Seventh Company of the Third Battalion, in Northampton Militia. He was a sergeant, and was wounded in service. Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. III (?) pages 276-292-310. \Vhen his brother Frederick died John Peter and his wife made a home for the youngest boy, Nicholas. John Peter, his wife and children are all buried in the churchvard of the old Stone Church. John Peter:! anl Maria Elizabeth were the parents of these children: Elizabeth \Valtman/ baptized March 17, 1775. Sponsors, Peter Meister and wife Elizabeth. Believed to have died in childhood. Anna Barbara \\'"altman,3 named for her aunt, was born June 1, 1777; some say June 5, 1778, but the first date is from the church records. Her sponsors at her baptism were Henry Bayer (Boyer) and her aunt, Anna 73

Barbara \Valtman. She married Peter Anawalt, born Kovember 22, 1772.. He died July 20, 1825. Anna Barbara died August 4, 1853. The inscrip tion on her gravestone is very much worn and has had this amazing de cipherment: "Anna Barbara \Valtman, born May 14, 1742, married Peter Anawalt, died at 28, August 4, 1828 ! " The figure 28 may mean they were married 2 8 years. They had four children, a son and three daughters. Peter,4 Elizabeth/ born 1799, married John Miller; Catherine/ born 1802, married George Hower, and Lydia.-1 The Anawalts trace back to Valentine Anewalt who arrived at Phila delphia, October 21, 1761. He settled in Allen Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He served as a private in the Revolutionary War under Col. John Siegfried. He is buried at the Zion Stone Church at Kreidersville, where the Waltmans are buried. He died February 8, 1802, aged 70. His first wife and mother of Peter, was Johanna Margaret Kurtz, 1 733-1793. There were eight other children. Jacob also lived in Allen Township, where he had a farm of 150 acres, and owned nearly as much more in a second farm in Lehigh Township. Peter Anawalt,4 the only son, was born April 3, 1797, died March 3, 1 841. He married Elizabeth Bliem, 18 0 0-18 5 6. They lived at Allentown, Pa. Seven Children. Stephen Anawalt."

LIKE OF LIEUTENANT VALENTINE \VALTMAN

''Sober) gra'7)e) temperate, sound in faith, in charity and patience." -Titus, ii, 2

-T. VALEl\"Til\"E \VALTMA!l has .?een very ~uch mixed up with his brother, John Peter \Valtman,- through their two sons, each named C Peter, and not far from the same age. It is a matter of record in the Zion Lutheran Church that John Peter's son died unmarried, January 14, 1811, aged "29 years, 7 months and 4 days." He was a trifle more than two years younger than his cousin, Peter \Valtman,3 son of Lieut. Valentine.2 The line from a Peter of the third generation from Conrad could come and did come only from Peter the son of Lieut. Valentine2 and his wife, Cath erine Beaver. By a queer twist of "handed down" pedigree, two leading families from this same Peter/ born February 8, 1779, claim Catherine Beaver as their stem-mother, but insist she was married to Peter,3 son of Sergeant John Peter.:: There were but the two Peters in the third generation of Waltmans. So the northern line of Valentine's descendants certainly came from this older Peter/ as the southern line as certainly came from his older brother, Andrew.3 Lieut. Valentine \Valtman2 was the sixth child and the third son of Con rad and Katherine (Bierly) \Valtman. He was born in 1742. The vValt mans back in Bavaria felt very bitter about Conrad's misalliance, as they con sidered it. But at the end of four years, when Conrad flatly refused to leave his wife, his broken-hearted father wrote to him to come back and bring his family with him. They could not change the rigid German law. Katherine and her children could not be presented at court or be brought out in society, or be recognized only as a morganatic wife and as children of a left-handed marriage; but they would be made welcome at their home, and he begged them to come. Conrad was all they had, and the line must die with him. They wanted and needed their only son to cheer their last days. Conrad was too proud to stand the humiliation of going back and having his family ignored by the nobility, where he belonged. But there was a reconciliation between father and son. In honor of it, the new baby was named Valentine after his grandfather over in Germany. Valentine was called by his German neighbors by the common nickname for Valentine, Felty. But in the family, either the full name was used or the shortened name of Tine, sounded as the i in thine. He was one of the few Waltman boys who could get along with his father. He was always on intimate terms with the two brothers, Peter and Andrew, who also remained near the old home place. And with his two sisters, Anna Barbara and Marie, who so long lived at the old home. His home was in Allen Township, County of Northampton, as was Andrew's also. John Peter2 lived in Le high Township, in what was then the same county. Valentine2 lived in what was called Tockenland or Tockerland, i. e., Dryland, because in prolonged DEPARTMENT OP' PUBI.IC INSTRUCTION PENNSYLVANIA STATE LIBRARY AND MUSEUM FREDERIC A. GOOCHARLES.

Archivist. In testimony Whereof I hereby Affix the Seal of this Department. 77 dry weather the land became parched and cracked. A neighbor of his was his sister Margaret's father-in-law, ::Vlelchior Yont (Yonce), who was buried there in the Dryland cemetery. He was about twenty w:hen he married Catherine Beaver. Evidently he was a thrifty farmer, for the records show that he paid above the average tax in that day of close money and low taxes. The Indian still passed through the land. The memory of frequent outbreaks and of the dreadful massacre in the \Vyoming Valley remained. No one wanted to get the ill will of the red man, then not considered a romantic figure at all, but a pesky nuisance. Valentine's policy toward them was always one of conciliation. One winter, when their hogs were all fattened and ready to butcher, every hog was found dead. It of course was the work of Indians. Not knowing but what the Indians might have first poisoned them, the family were afraid to eat the meat. The carcasses were hauled off. Before noon Valentine had the chagrin to see brave after brave pass by the house, each carrying the quarter of a hog on his shoulders. Another time Valentine was threshing at the barn. Along came a strap ping big Indian and asked if he could have a rooster if he could catch it. It would not have been prudent to have refused, so permission was given. Away went the Indian, swift as a panther, jumping over fences as he went, like some circus performer, but he got the rooster, and ,valtman got the laugh.

AUTOGRAPH OF VALE~TINE WALTMAN When Valentine was but a boy in his sixteenth year, but practically grown, he signed, September, 175 7, a petition to the authorities of the Colony beg ging protection for Northampton County families from Indians. It is sup posed that both his father and his older brother John Peter, were in a com pany of Militia, off in active duty protecting homes and driving off the warring Indians, as already told in Chapter IX. In 17 5 6 there was a desperate condition, and 166 persons were killed or captured by Indians. The Militia was ordered out and the women and children fled to forts or protected towns. Katherine fled with the nine children that were at home, and Valentine, a lad of but fifteen, acted as the head of the family, taking them through to safety and looking after his mother and the little ones. They returned, only to have a sharp menace the next year. It is evident that his father and brother were again ordered out, for neither of them signed this petition. Valentine, as representing the family, did, and the auto graph above is photographed off from the original petition. It shows the confidence his father reposed in this stripling to leave him in charge, and of how resolute and alert he was to protect them in every way. Valentine2 was the chairman of the building committee of the Zion Lutheran Church in 1 771. His name frequently appears on the rather scrappy records of the church. The year of his death is not known. The last record was in 1790. His widow married again, her last husband being a Mr. Sandel. Valentine2 and Catherine were the parents of seven children, three sons and four daughters. ANDREAS WALTMAN,3 born 1765, confirmed in 1780. \Vhen he came to manhood he changed his name slightly to Andrew, after his uncle, Andrew Waltman. He went south and was the head of a considerable line. ELIZABETH WALTMAN.3 VALENTINE WALTMAN, JR.3 \Vhen they were taking subscrip tions to build the church, in 1771, each of these children, then little folks of 4 and 2, were honored by their father by having their names listed as making a modest contribution to the building of the church. There has been a private birth record of Valentine given, but nothing else has ever been found relating to either Elizabeth3 or Valentine, Jr.3 They may have died, or Valentine may have gone south before 1800, as did his brother Andrew,3 and like Andrew, faded out of the recollection of the next generation. From all three of the northern line of Lieut. Valentine's descendants came the persistent statement that there was but one son in that third generation. There were three sons, and two that have left traceable lines. Susanna,3 born probably about 1769-1770. No further records, and this a private one. Her brother Peter named a daughter Susannah. MARGARET W ALTMAN3 (Margretha), probably born about 1776- 7. She married Adam Lerch, who was born in 1777 and died in 1840. They are both buried in Zion Lutheran Church where Conrad and Katherine Waltman and many of their children and grandchildren lie. Margaret was named for her aunt, Margaret Waltman Yonce. She was a wife thirty-two years and the mother of 1 0 children. She died eight or ten years before her husband. MARIA BARBARA WALTMAN 3 was born February 6, and baptized March 25, 1781. She was doubtless named for her two aunts, both single at that time and helping care for poor Conrad, worse than a child. The aunts were Anna Barbara and Marie \Valtman. Her sponsors were Jacob Beaver it is not known whether he was her grandfather or her uncle, and this same aunt, Anna Barbara \Valtman that for the third time stood as sponsor for some of her brothers' children. This was the child that an absent-minded church clerk wrote down as the child, when he meant the grandchild of Conrad and Katherine Waltman, and absolutely omitted the names of her parents! The only other record of Maria is that of her tombstone, "Maria "\Valtman, born June 3, 1780, died September 12, 1852." A nephew at the time of her death gave what he thought was the day of her birth, but he made her out to be nine months and twenty-three days older than she really was. Evidently she was an old maid that was appreciated, judging from her many namesakes. 79

PETER WALTMAN/ the youngest child but one, was born February 8, 1779. He was married ( 1) to Elizabeth Fatzinger, born October 16, 1785. She died at the birth of her last child, August 29, 1820. They were married January 10, 1804. He m?,rried (2) on lvlarch 16, 1823, Mrs. Susannah (\Vint) Reichard,, widow of Leonard Reichard, and daughter of Henry and Catherine Wint. There were seven children by the first wife, Joseph, Annie, Maria, Rebecca, Hannah, Eliza and Henrietta. There were two by the last wife, Susan (Susannah) and Harriet. Peter died January 5, 1836, and his wife Susannah, May 16, 1 8 5 3. Peter Waltman served in the \Var of 1 812 from August 18 to December 5, 1814, in the Northampton Blues, under Captain John F. Ruhe.

HOME OF PETER WALTMAN

Peter lived on a farm of about 15 0 acres, in what is now a part of Allen town. The house in which he lived, as will be seen by the illustration, was a good one for that day. It has since been torn down. It long since passed out of the family. His children remembered in those old days when there were no professional undertakers, and no hearses, and when a local cabinet maker made the coffins for the dead, that Peter's four handsome, coal-black horses were always loaned for funeral occasions. Like most of the Walt mans he delighted in fine stock and gave them the best of care. It is said that Peter himself always drove the hearse team, with the coffin in the wagon and the nearest relatives grouped around it. 80

3 2 1 A:rrnREW \VALTJ\L-\~ [Lieut. Valentipe, Conrad. ] He was born in Northampton County in 1765 and died in Sabuta, ~1ississippi, in either 1837 or 1839. (Authorities differ), making him either 72 or 74 at the time of his death. Like his uncle John Peter, he was in no hurry to get married. He was supposed to be about 43 when he married. He could talk both English and German, but his wife could talk only broken English. Her name is not known. She may have been a Miss Hamilton. At his death, all seven chil dren were minors. For twenty years after the Revolutionary \Var ended there was a large emigration from Pennsylvania to the southern states. Michael Waltman's2 line went south. Three of Margaret Vv altman Y once's2 sons went to Vir ginia. Andrew'' got the emigration fever also, and went first to Alabama, where he may have stayed a score of years or more. Then he went to Missis sippi, to Sabuta, where his children were born, and where he probably was married. But he did not forget Pennsylvania. It cost 25 cents postage in those days if a letter was sent under 300 miles, and more for every additional 100 miles. Our frugal forefathers therefore wrote few letters. A death, or a marriage might cause a letter to be sent, but rarely anything else called forth a family epistle. Peter and Andrew occasionally wrote to each other, years apart. Just as the northern line of the younger generation forgot that there ever had been an Andrew, so the southern line forgot where their forefather An drew came from. When they became anxious to trace their pedigree, all they could tell was that Andrew's son Levi used to tell that his father spoke of a brother Peter. One line remembered that when Andrew was 65 he got a gossipy, family letter that told how his cousin's daughter, Kezia-the name stuck because it was such an odd one-had DARED to go to an academy, and by so doing had raised a pretty row. A lot of the conservative neighbors had petitioned the academy to dismiss her because of her sex; and how to the last "'V\T altman, kith and kin of them, they had risen up in arms and said if Kezia wanted to go to the academy and was willing to be the only girl in a school £ul of boys, that was her and her father's business, and they would stand behind them and see that she had her rights. It was a pretty kettle of fish all right, but the fighting \Valtmans won out. This same incident is told more fully in Chapter XXIV. Oddly enough it was that piece of news rehearsed nearly a hundred years later, that solved the problem of where these southern \Valtmans belonged. Andrew': was the onlv one who had a brother Peter. And scholarlv Kezia was the author's own "mother~ All of our life we had heard of that tempest in a t~apot in Huntington, Northampton County (later Luzerne), and An drew;· the only one of the brothers' sons, had gone south.

It is small wonder that this family knew so little of their ancestors. Nearly all of those descended from William Hamilton Woltman live in Texas.

FERDINAND WALTMAN4 died single in the 1860's. Some of the family think he served in the Confederate Army, and was killed in the war. DESCENDANTS OF PETER,3 SON OF LIEUT. VALENTINE \YALTMAN.2 "Learn to maintain good ,;_;_·arks for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful."-Titus, iii, 14 ' PETER \VALTMAK,3 born February 8, 1779, is the only remaining son of Lieut. Valentine \;Valtman whose descendants have not been given. As has already been told in the earlier part of this chapter, he was married twice, first, in 1804, as a young man of about twenty-five, to Elizabeth Fatzingeri a girl of nineteen. She was born October 16, 1785. By her he had seven children, a son,. J oseph,4 and six daughters, Annie,4 Maria,4 Rebecca,4 Hannah,4 Eliza,4 and Henrietta,4 at whose birth her mother died, August 29, 1820. The oldest was but fourteen. But someway or other Peter worried along, kept his family together, with such housekeeping as his little girls could do, supplemented by the aid of a hired girl. March 16, 1823, he married again, this time to l\1rs. Susannah Wint (Winden), widow of Leonard Reichard, a widow of thirty-nine. It is no light task to go into a home over six stepchildren, of ages now ranging from seventeen to three. Very likely the little girls were poor housekeepers. The new mother might have been tactless and something of a scold, but the facts certainly were that things did not move smoothly between the new mother and the first wife's children. Two children of her own were born, and an old wife's children are proverbially humored and spoiled. That did not help the wounded feelings of the motherless children that tired of being found fault with. Susann;h Vv altman refused to put up w:l;iat she consid~red the children's "sass," and the outcome was that the older children were made to leave home, scattered to other families, here and there. Some of them were put out to service, though their father was a well-to-do man. In those days people did not rush into the divorce courts. Peter \Valtman did the best he could, and stood what he had to stand. He was not the first widower and will not be the last one to find that two brands of families under one roof do not always harmonize. Do_ubtless Susannah thought herself a Christian woman. Less than two months after her husband died, which was January 5, 1836, she bought the family Bible that after her own death, l\fay 16, 18 5 3, came back to the family of the first wife. After one or two other changes of ownership it came into the possession of Joseph \X/altman6 of Evansville, Indiana, who now has it. The records in it are in German, and are difficult to decipher. They were probably written by Susannah, the last wife. 4 1 JosEPH \VALTMAK, (Peter,3 Lieut. Valentine,2 Conrad. ) He was the oldest child and the only son of his father's family. Born October 28, 1806. In 1830 he was married to Margaret Mary Bast. There were ten children, Adaline,5 Samuel,5 Frank,5 Henry5 and Henrietta,5 who were twins, Mary,5 Peter,5 William,5 Joseph5 and John.5 A fine little brood. Their father moved to Easton, Pa., where most of his descendants have lived. He was an expert bridge builder and was justly proud of the first-class bridges and important ones that he erected. He built the cotton mills at Easton, 1833-6. In 1 843 he sank the curbing across the Delaware River for the Lehigh Valley Railroad. He died ]\fay 13, 1898, age 92 years. His wife died October 6, 1890. Ao ELI KE WAL TMAK. 5 -(J oseph,4 Peter ,3 Lieut. Valentine,2 Conrad.1) She married William Cameron. Five sons, two daughters. Irvin Cameron6 married Lizzie Vogel.

CHAPTER XVIII

FREDERICK WALTMAN2

"Make a joy fut noise unto the Lord."-Psalms, xciv, 4

"Bang-whang-whang goes the drum, Tootle-te-tootle goes the fife." REDERICK WALTMAN 2 was named for his mother's brother, Frederick Bierly. He was the sixth child and third son of the Waltmans. He F joined the 6th Regiment of Northampton Troops of the Continental Line as fifer. His brother Ludwig was in the same company. The British troops were sent out with fine military bands. An inventory of a captured band showed that they had drums, fifes, oboes, clarinets, horns, French horns and bassoons, that sold for a thousand dollars at auction. But the Americans, without money or credit, were hard pushed for martial music. Their bands consisted of drums and fifes alone, and the complaints were loud and long that fifes were often unattainable. Conrad was brought up to music, and doubtless had fifes and flutes of good German make. His son could and would be a more expert musician than could usually be ob tained. So he was made a fifer. The common soldier had an allowance or pay (?) of $7.33 per month. Washington himself ruled that the fifer, so hard to obtain, should have the rank of a corporal, and draw $8.33 pay. It was surprising how expert the drummer and fifer became. The drummer had to learn "by ear," as no music sheets were furnished him. He had to master the flam., the roll and the drag, and the ruffle to beat for a slow march, a parade march, a quick step and for the troop assembly, and the "tat-too." The fifer had sheet music. See illustration. He had to play "To Arms," "Troops Assembly" "Ladies Parade" "Double Time" "Raveille" the call to rise in the morning,' "General Call,"' and "The Retreat"' at bed' time. They played French marches, and after 1777 the fifer played "Yankee Doodle." Another tune was "The \Vorld Turned Upside Down." Wash ington himself danced to the fife as it tootled "The Continental March." "A Successful Campaign" was a favorite with the Continental Fifer. It was carefully regulated that the sergeant was to march to the left, the drummer next to him, and the fifer to the right. In a regiment of a thousand men there were to have been 20 to 30 drums and fifes, but there almost never were that many fifes, as they were so difficult to obtain. The very first observance of Washington's birthday in the United States was in cold, bleak Valley Forge, February 22, 1778, when in a nipping gale 21 men in Proctor's Artillery Band paraded before headquarters in biting .cold and serenaded him. Frederick was in another band that did not par ticipate. In 1779 Frederick was killed or died in the service, and the government paid his widow what was due him. He had married young. \Ve do not kno\v the name of his wife, or the daughters, if there were any. She is supposed to have gone back to her people. Katherine and John Peter, the uncle, took the three boys, Fredrick, John and Nicholas. Frederick, Jr., sen·ed also in the "\Var, as did John. All three of the sons had some land in Berks County, Pa., do_ubtless part of their father's estate. Frederick was unmarried in 1820. John was said to have been a very fine young man who died without heirs in Northampton County. The youngest son, Nicholas, went to live with John after the latter married, and is counted in l 790's census as a "male under 16." He was a farmer in Northampton County, Pa., the last record that referred to him.

"'But when our country's cause proYokes to arms, How martial music every bosom warms."

"Endure Hardness as a good soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Tim., ii, 3

HE EXACT year of his birth is not known, but it was not far from 1748. He, Frederick and Michael2 were born between Valentine2 T who was born in 1742 and the year 1750. Like most of the other sons, he left home, and evidently bought land in or near Philadelphia, as did Michael also. William married, and left a son William.3 He served first in the defense of Philadelphia in 1776, in the 2nd Battalion under Captains Patterson and Robert Duncan. He enlisted again, later, in the 4th Battalion of Northampton Troops, under Captain John McCally. He must have been killed or died in the last year of the war, as his estate was settled up in 1783. He had 80 acres of land near Philadelphia on which he paid a considerable tax for those days. In his first enlistment, for three years, in 177 6, he serv_ed under Captain Derick Patterson, Company No. 1. Was paid September 9, 1779. Again he was in the Philadelphia Militia in the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion, under Captain Jonathan Wanamaker. The last enlistment, under Captain McCally, date not given. He was known to have been in the battle of Princeton in 1 777, and later to have been sent out against the Indians, who made so much trouble 1782-84. His son, William, Junior, went to "\Vashington County, where he had 40 0 acres surveyed, October 21, 17 84. He is believed to have had a son \Villiam, born 1795, died 18 96, aged 10 I, Lycoming, Pa. No further records. \Villiam was in Valley Forge, 1777-1778. CHAPTER XX DESCENDAi\TS OF LIEUT.. HIRAM l\1ICHAEL \VALTMAN2 "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord."- Psalms, xxxi:ii, 23

UT. HIRAM MICHAEL WALTMAN 2 was the eighth child of Conrad W_altman. He was named Hiram for his father's gra1:dfather, Count L Hiram von Frundsberg. He was always called by hrs second name, Michael, and enlisted under that name. The records show that just previous to the war he owned real estate in Philadelphia near his brother William. He joined a Maryland regiment and after the war he lived and died in Frederick County, Maryland. He died in 1829 and was buried in the Apple's Churchyard, in Maryland. He was in Captain Stull's Company of Col. John Gunly's Regiment of Maryland Troops. He enlisted for three years and was at White Plains and Valley Forge. His name first appears on a company roll dated at yVhite Plains, September 9, 1778, and last appears on a list from the Commission er's office, November 2, 1784, showing the issue of a certificate for money due for services rendered. After this chapter was set up, came a last minute note from D. Russell Talbott, the State Commissioner of the Maryland Land Office, Annapolis, saying he had found it recorded that this Michael Waltman had served as a Lieutenant of Maryland Troops. Nearly all of this chapter has been written by Rev. Walter V. Waltman, a high A. -S. L. official o{l\1ichigan. Occasionaily a note or a date has bee~ added. Otherwise it is entirely his composition.

REV. WALTER Y. \;VALTMAN'S HISTORY OF LIEUT. HIRAM MICHAEL \\rALTMAN'S LINE

In preparing a family history, I con:fess that I am inexperienced. Mrs. Lora S. LaMance has asked me to prepare a history of my branch of the Waltman family, which takes us back to the days of Hiram Michael Walt man, one of the sons of Conrad \Valtman, who was the founder of the Waltman famil v in America. He married Mary (Polly) Prutzman when he was about 35. There were four sons, Thomas, Michael, Jr., Peter and Jacob, and four daughters, Roxy and Margaret, Mary Elizabeth and Caroline Rebecca. Michael was named for himself; Peter's full name was Peter Hiram, after his father's great-grandfather and his uncle Peter. Jacob was named for Lieut. Michael's brother-in-law, Jacob Kuder. Margaret was named for her aunt, Margaret Yonce. Two of Lieut. Michael's sons, Thomas and Michael, Jr., went to Brown County, Indiana, in the days of the big land rush, 1837. Old letters that are still preserved in the family show that their sisters and 99 their brother Peter kept up a correspondence with them. Here are the f ac similes of one of these brothers and of their sister, Caroline Rebecca vValt man Zimmerman.

Here are some of those old letters: Mechanicsville, Maryland, February 4, 1838. Dear Brother Thomas: We take the liberty of writing you a few lines. We are all well at present and we hope that these few lines will find you all in the same state of health. There is not much news to write to you. The times are much as they were when you left this place, there is nothing strange happened since you left. Hear a great deal of talk about the west, and that Rightnouner and niece are coming back. \¥e have heard that they are back at Tiffin, Ohio, and are coming here not till spring. You have not wrote to us about any of the rest that went with you, whether any of them are settled near you. Is Ott (Wolf) and his mother, (Thomas vValtman's mother-in-law), with you? We did not think that he would go further than George Wolf's, or did you get past to where he lives? I am determined to see the west yet. Michael and Susan (Peter's children) are at me to go out in the spring and buy a piece of land. They say they will go. They are talking about the west most steady. I do not know for that, but I think that I will see it sometime next summer. I would like for you to give me information by the next letter how you got shet of your money, whether the note of the bank will pass. There is nothing but shinplaster (paper money) of every kind here. William Green and Jacob Ferow in Mechanicsville, they make money here. Jacob Ferow has sold his mill and lands to Arnieal Faus for twelve thousand dollars. You say you lost Bull. ( the dog.) He never came back. How far do you think it would be out of the road to come through Tiffin to come to where you live, or how far do you call it to Tiffin from where you live? I think it must be a lonesome place in a new place like you live in. It must look wilder than it is here. I reckon young people are scarce to be found in your place. How near have you a meeting house to go to preaching? Thomas Goarley he has bought his old yard again of Michael Freeman. We have had no winter yet worth speaking of. It is looking a little like snow now for a few days past. I have no more to write at present, this much 100 of your respectful brother. I give my respects to you and all your family. \Vishing that I may see you all before long, PETER \VALTMAN. Several years later Peter \Valtman did visit 1,forgantown, in southern Indiana, and remained an entire summer~ then returned to Maryland. The next letter is nearly twelve years later. Reading between the lines it is evident that the l\1other, Mary (Polly) Waltman, is old.and feeble. She had lived with her son Peter until his wife Nancy'.s death, when she went to live with Caroline Zimmerman, who was undoubtedly her youngest daugh ter. Roxy Waltman had married and had moved away. Mary E. Walt man had married William Long, and the big-hearted Longs made a home for Mary's bachelor brother Jacob, and for the three younger children of Peter Waltman's. Two of these were boys old enough to go to school. Peter's daughter Susan, spoken of a dozen years before, in yet another letter is spoken of as married and the mother of a child. Thomas Goarley borrowed money of Michael \Valtman Junior. Michael was now in Indiana and Thomas Goarley was letting him whistle for his money. Thomas and Michael Waltman, January 15, 1850. Dear Sons: I received your letter and was glad to hear from you, and that you do ing well and are all well yourselves, too. I am not well but am better than I was in the winter. I am still living at the same place ( Caroline R. Zimmer man's), and I expect to stay there. I am still very well contented. I would like to see you and hear from you, but as for me to come out there, I cannot, for I cannot get along. Some days I have got it in my legs so. I still get the pension of your father, that helps me. I am not in want. Your brother Jacob was to see me on Christmas Day and took dinner with me. He was well and still works about as usual. As for your sister Roxy, I know nothing about her, for I have not heard from her this long time; but Jacob has got his home with William Long and they have still got your Brother P~ter's three children, and they are all well, too. The two boys are going to school at this time and they are learn ing well. I was up at Thomas Goarley's about two years ago, and he told me that he would send Michael that money the next week. So I do not know any thing about it, I do not expect to get up to see him, for I am too feeble to walk up there any more. Rusilla Koons (the niece of Thomas Waltman's wife), was married in the spring and in the fall of the year she was buried and her mother has got her baby to raise. Koons' are all well, too. If I could see you, I could talk for hours, but I cannot write any more. Please to answer this letter as soon as you get this. No more at present. Your Affectionate Mother, MARY w ALTMAN. Direct your letter to Utica Mills, Frederick County, Md. Vv ritten by Caroline Rebecca Zimmerman. IOl

Here are the only records of six of the children of :\1ichael and Polly· Vvaltman's children. The order of births not known. But as Michael \Valt man Senior was born about 1 7 5 0, and was married about thirty-five years later to a wife at least ten years younger than himself, we can see that his widow, Polly, nearly or quite ninety when the letter of 1850 was written, was indeed old and feeble. The children born before 1800 were Jacob,3 Mary Elizabeth,3 Peter,3 Roxy3 and Margaret.3 After 1800, the children were Caroline Rebecca,3 Thomas,3 born 1804, and Michael Junior,3 born 1808. JACOB WALTMAN.3 An elderly man in 1850. Apparently never married. He had his home with his brother-in-law, \Villiam Long. MARY ELIZABETH WALTMAN,3 married \Villiam Long. They not only made a home for her bachelor brother Jacob, but raised the three younger children of her brother Peter, after his wife died. No children known of their own. PETER (HIRAlvl) WALTMAN.3 His wife was Nancy. They had a son Michael4 and a daughter Susan,4 sizable children in 1838, and Susan was married and had a child before 1850. \Vhen the wife Nancy died in the 1840's, there were two younger boys old enough to go to school, and a little daughter. Their aunt, Mrs. \Villiam Long,3 took them and raised them.

ROXY WALTMAN .3 She had married and moved away. No trace of her.

3 1 MARGARET \VALTMAN (Michael,2 Conrad. ) She married Mr. Secrist. In 1835 or 1836 they moved to Tiffin, Ohio. MARY SECRIST.4 She married Uriah Crowell. FRA.NK CROWELL.5 ELLA CRO\VELL.5 IDA CRO\VELL.5 FLORA CROWELL.5 CHARLES CRO\VELL.5 LOUISA SECRIST4 married Charles Smith. LUCY SMITH.5 MINNIE SMITH.5 CORA SMITH.5 JESSIE SMITH.5 AMANDA SECRIST4 married Ephraim Nlesser. EMMA MAY MESSER5 married J. A. Spielman of Pittsburgh, Pa. FRANK B. MESSER5 married Gabie "'ilburn. They have one son, Dr. Frank Messer, on the staff of the Fitz-Simmons Hospital, Denver, Colorado. Frank B. Messer has a room at his home practically furnished with the fine old furniture of his mother's. He has one of her wedding gifts, more than 100 years old, a quaint sugar-bowl. He, too, remembers the gold 102 watch and chain that his Aunt Lucinda wore, in the time when such a pos session stamped one as an aristocrat of aristocrats. CARRIE BELLE MESSER5 was named for her aunt, Caroline Re becca Zimmerman. She married G. C. Baumgartel of Edinburg, Texas. Lillian May Baumgartel6 married J. Frank Rush. Frances Mae Rush. Emma S. Baumgartel.

FREDERICK MESSER married Tillie Litzenberger. ALLEN MESSER. . R. MESSER. ULYSSUS MESSER. MINNIE MESSER. JOSEPH MESSER. He was married twice. By the first wife he had these: FRED MESSER. WILLIAM MESSER. There were two other children by the last wife.

LUCINDA SECRIST. This was the lady whose fine clothes and gold watch and chain made such an impression on her young relatives. She never married.

FREDERICK SECRIST. WILLIAM SECRIST.

CAROLINE REBECCA WALTMAN.3 (Michael,2 Conrad.1) She was born about 1802. She married a Mr. Zimmerman, and her aged mother, Mary (Polly) Waltman, was making her home with her in 1850, when the mother was ninety years old. She lived in Frederick County, Maryland. That she was a dutiful daughter goes without saying. She was undoubtedly a favorite in the family from her many namesakes. Whether she had any children or not, there are no records to- show.

It is thought that Peter Vlaltman,3 whose letter speaks of a good-sized son, Michael, in 1838, and had other sons younger, may have had a grand son, H. M. Vvaltman born in 1 8 5 6, and now living in Ellershe, Maryland. If so, he was this Michael's son (Michael,4 Peter,3 Hiram Michael,2 Con rad1) and quite likely H. M. stands for Hiram I\1ichael. Information came too late to get the particulars, but "H. M." is described as "a very fine man." 103

3 1 THOMAS WALTMAN (Michael,2 Conrad ), was born in Frederick County, Maryland, February 2, 1804. He died May 28, 1881. He married Catherine Wolf October, 1828. Catherine \Volf was born December 22, 1809. She died April 18, 1854. My father was ten years old at the time of the death of his mother and I have heard him speak of the great sorrow he felt at losing his mother. I have often heard him say that no one can take the place of a mother. More than fourteen years later, July 19, 1868, Thomas Waltman married again. This time to Margaret Geese. A condensed birth, marriage and death record of the eleven children of Thomas and Catherine W altman's children: Julia Ann \Valtman,4 born August 8, 1829. She married Joseph Mar shall, March 30, 1848. Hiram Waltman,4 named after his uncle Peter Hiram Waltman, October 15, 1830. He married Sarijane McElhany, January 11, 1852. He died September 20, 1901. Mary Ann Waltman,4 born March 6, 1832. She married James Pars ley, March 26, 1856. Harriett Waltman,4 born August 17, 1833. She married Robert Camp hf'll; January ?.2, 1 RO. Shf' clif".cl Jrnmiry 9, 1901 Sarifi.ne Waltman,4 born May 3, 1835. She married Jacob Banta Janu ary 22, 1852. She was married (2) to Thomas A. Kelso. She died July 10, 1910.· Thomas Waltman,4 Junior, born Jan. 22, 1837. He married Anna E. Allender, April 3, 1862. He died March 26, 1907. Margaret Waltman,4 born January 30, 1839.

She married Dudley "\Valker, February 29, 1868. William M. \Valtman,4 born November 15, 1844. He married Mary E.Moser,November 16, 1865. HediedJune 15, 1913. Catherine \Valtman,4 born December 7, 1846. She married Alexander Sipes on February 4, 1866. She died in 1918. The details of the descendants of these eleven sons and daughters of Thomas and Catherine \Valtman's children will be given further on. Thomas \Valtman3 moved with his wife and six children in the fall of 183 7 to his farm near Georgetown, Indiana. I have in my possession an old parchment deed of the \Valtman homestead that was secured from the government by Stevens Robinson, the first owner, who sold his land to Thomas \Valtman that same year. It is'dated in the city of \:Vashington, March 20, 1837, and signed by Martin Van Buren, President of the United States. One of the interesting things I remember about this farin was a spring at the foot of a hill under a large oak tree. There was always a large drink ing gourd hanging on a nail which had been driven into the tree. I have recollections of this being about the best water that it has ever been my priv ilege to drink. The water was always cool and nice in summer and the spring never froze over in the coldest weather. Another interesting thing was the letter written by Peter Waltman to his brother Thomas, my grandfather, on the possibilities of there being no meeting houses in the community. He also inquired how long it would take to come from Maryland to Indiana, and how much it would be out of his way to come by Tiffin, Ohio, where he could visit his sister, Mrs. Secrist. I recall a visit made to the Waltmans by Mrs. Secrist and her daughter, Lucinda. I remember that Miss Secrist wore a black silk dress and a pretty gold lady's watch on her bosom. Both of these left a deep impression on my mind as it was the first silk dress and gold watch I ever saw. One of the earliest recollections of my life is the memory of the old linch-pin ox-wagon in which my grandfather drove from lVlaryland to In diana. I have seen parts of this wagon on the old Waltman homestead about one mile east of Georgetown. Each of the two brothers had at least one wagon and team. I am sure that it must have required several weeks to make the trip. There were long stretches of miry swamps to cross, and wretched roads to follow. A great contrast to the present mod~ of travel. Today it only requires about twenty-four hours on a fast train or two days with an automobile. My grandfather, Thomas Waltman, was a member of the Lutheran Church. In Indiana there was no Lutheran Church in the county. There were some Presbyterians. They got together and organized a Presbyterian Church. The services were held in a private house. Later, a church was built in Georgetown.

~ After leaving his farm, Thomas \Valtman kept a large country store where all kinds of dry goods, hardware, groceries, meats, etc., were kept for sale. He continued in this business until his death.

4 1 JULIA ANN WALTMAN. (Thomas,3 :Michael,2 Conrad. ) She was first married 1848 to Joseph Marshall. After his death she married a Mr. Gearheart. She had children by both husbands. No further records. HIRAM \VALTMAN.4 (Thomas,3 Michael,2 Conrad.I) He married. Sarijane McElhaney in 1862 when he was 32. Several children, but only two lived to marry. He died at 71. His wife was born July 22, 1832, and died March 23, 1917, aged 85. Hiram served in the Civil \Var and drew a pension. He purchased the store of his father, after the latter's death, and conducted it the rest of his life, and his widow kept on with the business until her death. So that the Waltman store was a feature of Georgetown for over fifty years. Hiram \Valtman also built and operated the first roller flour mill in the county. He sold this mill to his brother, Thomas Waltman, Junior. He is buried in Georgetown.

He invented a mouse trap, and could have made a success either as a mechanic 110 or as an inventor. He "picked up" his carpenter business, and was a good one. He was one of the best horticulturists in the whole state and held high office in the State Horticulturist Society. In the late I 860's he helped to form the Old Settlers' Association in Georgetown, and was its president for eighteen years. It was a notable affair,._ bringing in hundreds of visitors each year. But, after all, his greatest success was in law. At his own fire side he studied law books. When he was admitted to the bar some of the lawyers had considerable sport at the expense of the "farmer lawyer." But he went steadily up, up, winning cases against the most famous criminal lawyers in the.state, ex-judges and congressmen. The Columbus (Indiana) Democrat said of him, "Mr. Waltman's power before a jury was wonder ful and hard to explain. It has been said by some of his brother attorneys that they never felt safe when the 'Brown County lawyer' had the closing speech." He was elected Prosecuting Attorney for the Ninth Judicial District of Indiana-a most important one-and served four years, I 8 91-18 9 5. Dur-

WILLIAM M. WALTMAN I I I ing that time some of the most involved and some of the most important · cases came up in all of the state's history. Pitted against him were lawyers of renown. One of these was the widely known Goldsmith case, when the Columbus Herald said he made "one of the strongest speeches ever made to a jury in our court room. His listeners were spellbound." In that four years, he· lost but three cases in all-a perfectly marvelous record. The Columbus Times said when he retired from office, "He has been a faithful, honest, incorruptible and efficient officer." Because of his abilities the Grand Lodge of F. and A. M. of Indiana asked him to codify the Masonic laws of the state, which he did in an admirable manner. His home at Mount View, Georgetown, Indiana, was one of the show places of southern Indiana. He had not only ornamental plantings, shrub bery and flowers, but one of the most extensive peach and apple orchards in the state, kept in apple-pie order, thousands of trees. He loved to entertain visitors. His home was on one of the highest points in the state. He died June 15, 1913. Mary E. ,valtman, his widow., still lives at Georgetown. She spends the winters with some of her children and in the spring returns to her home, garden and chickens. I look back to the early years of my life, being the oldest of ten, and recall the toil and sacrifices of my mother. She made our clothes, knit our stockings, and toiled far into the night as she sat by the big fireplace. Oh, the patience and long suffering love of Mother! ,vill we ever be able to repay it? I fear not.

REV. WALTER V. ,vALTMAN5 (William,4 Thomas,3 Michael,2 Con rad.1) was born August 7, 1866, in a log house on the family homestead. All of the ten children of ,villiam M. and Mary Waltman were born in that house. He was married October 2, 1889, to Ida J. Schneider, who was born December I 3, I 868. To this union four children were born, Mary A.,6 vVilliam L.,6 Chauncey E.,6 and Wallace \V.6 I, Walter V. \Valtman, spent my early life on the farm. \Vas appointed postal clerk in the railroad mail service and served three years. Taught school two years. Clerked in a general store for nine months. Moved to Columbus, Ind., where I engaged in insurance, real estate REV. w. v. WALTMAN, and building and loan business. Was dep- Supt. of A. s. L. uty County Recorder. \Vas letter carrier for almost twelve years, resigning in 1905, then 39, to enter Lane Seminary to prepare for the ministry. I I 2

I wish to bear testimony that the Lord has been good to me. He has kept me and mine in health and prosperity. \Vife and I and our four children have never been in want or su:ff ered any serious illness during all of these years. In 1902, while a mail carrier, I finished in that one year a four years' course in the Chautauqua reading course a._nd received my diploma. I always carried a book with me for reading. In 1903, at the spring meeting of the Indianapolis Presbytery, I was licensed as a local evangelist, conducting weekly prayer-meetings and preaching once a month. In August, 1903, I began preaching in the Presbyterian churches of Nashville and Georgetown. The latter was my old home church, where I was converted and received into the Church. All of this time I was carrying the mail to support my family. I would rise at 3 a. m., on. Sunday morning, ride my wheel 20 or 25 miles, preach two sermons, teach a Sunday school class, leave for home about 9 p. m., get home at 1 a. m., and at 6 a. m. start out delivering my mail. When I entered Lane Seminary to prepare for the ministry, I had my home and an income of but $400.00 a year. There were those that tried to discourage me and said I could not succeed. Others said my family would starve while I was in school, as I would have no means to support them. I had faith to believe that the Lord would care for me and my family. My family said they were willing to trust Him. He did care for us. Should you ask me how, I can only say He made our money meet our needs, and He provided me a place in which to preach, and a home to live in while I was studying in the Seminary and in Cincinnati University, where I took a supple mentary course after graduating from Lane Seminary. I shall never forget that last meal before I started. Two of my boys were to go to the.home of my father and mother. 1\.1y wife and the other two children were to go to Madison, Indiana, to be with her mother, and I was to start to the Seminary in Cincinnati. This was my home where God had given me my children and we had spent so many happy hours together. Before we began that morning meal we bowed our heads in prayer to thank God for His goodness and ask his continued blessing, as we were about to separate. There was not a dry eye. Our hearts were sad, but we knew God would keep us. · I studied very hard in the Seminary, preached twice each Sunday and conducted prayer meetings. May I add that we were never in want, and I never had to sell my home in Columbus. In May, 1906, I accepted a call to the Pilgrim Church in Cincinnati, sent for my family, and we were all together again. One of the dear spots to me is Pilgrim Church. In May, 1907, I was ordained. That was one of the happiest moments of my life. I graduated from Lane May 14, 1908. That was another happy day. I had obtained my desire to receive a seminary edu cation and to be ordained as a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ. In June, 1909, I accepted a call to the Presbyterian Church in St. Ignace, Michigan. I was elected Moderator of the Lake Superior Presbytery in 191.2 and chair man of the Committee on Education. Michigan is a grand state. I have enjoyed this northland of lakes and pines and balsams, since coming here to live. I have been in the lumber I I J camps and have enjoyed the hospitality of the lumber jacks. They are big-. hearted men and will divide their last bite with a hungry man. I have killed deer and partridges, caught the speckled trout, and picked huckleberries and raspberries and roamed the woods with much pleasure and happiness. I have a farm near Mason, Mich.,"where I hope to retire when my work with the League is done. In 1912 I took up work with the Michigan Anti-Saloon League. I feel that this is a great work and the Lord can use me and bless me in this work. I have ~een very busy, holding responsible positions. I am now the Super intendent of the Detroit Division, the second highest office in the state organization. I have been very successful in this field of service. I served four years as the General State Superintendent cf the Michigan Anti-Saloon League. "Let me live in a house bv the side of the road, Where the race of men go by; . The men who are good, the men who are bad, As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat, Or hurl the critic's ban. Let me live in a house by the side of the road, And be a friend of man."

Mary A. Waltman,6 born November 3, 1891. She married (1) Emer son Smith in 1913. They had three children, Mary Catherine,7 born October 17, 1914; Emerson,7 born October 28, 1916, and Elizabeth,7 born October 1, 1918. She separated from Mr. Smith and was married (2) to F. I. Shupe in 1924. They live in Mason, Mich., R.F. D. vVilliam L. Waltman,6 born February 26, 1894. At home with his par ents, Detroit, Mich. He is in the office of the Department of the State's Attorney General. He is following in the footsteps of his grandfather, taking a law course in the Detroit Law School. He enlisted in the Field Hospital, 126th Regiment, in the 32nd Division of the U. S. Army engaged in the World's War. He served on the Mexican border during the trouble with that country previous to entering the World's War. He sailed from the United States in February, 1918, and served throughout the remainder of the war, going with the company into Germany as a part of the ..\rmy of Occupation. He returned home, May, 1919, and was mustered out at Battle Creek, May 30, 1919. Chauncey E. \Valtman6 was born April 13. 1896. He married l\iila Smetley in 1 916. They have two children, \i\Tilliam7 and Charles.; They are living in Chicago, where Chauncey is doing art work and designing. Chauncey E. enlisted in the Aviation Department in the \Vorld's \Var and was trained in photography and drafting in schools in Rochester, New York, and Cornell University. He had received his orders to go to France just before the Armistice was signed. So he did not get across. I I 4

Wallace W. \Valtman6 was born July 2, 1898. He married Irene Kruyt August 16, 191 9. Their two children are \Vallace, Junior,7 born December 15, 1920, and William,7 born July 13, 1924. Wallace is engaged in the electrical business, having a store on Michigan Avenue, Grand Rapids, Mich. Wallace enlisted in Company M, I 26th Regiment, 32nd Division of the U. S. Army in the World's War. Like his brother he was on the Mexican border during those troubles, sailed to Europe, was in the Army of Occupation in Germany, returned to this country and was mustered out at Battle Creek on May 30, 1919. He was in several battles, was wounded twice and gassed twice. He was several months in the hospital after he was mustered out. Wallace was awarded the Croix de Guerre with Palms for bravery Croix de Guerre. on the field of action in carrying a wounded soldier to with Palm. safety while being exposed to severe machine gun fire.

DESCENDANTS OF MICHAEL WALTMAN,3 SON OF MICHAEL WALTMAN, SENIOR2 2 1 MICHAEL ¥lALTMAN, JUNIOR,3 (1\1ichael, Conrad. ) He was born August 11, 1808, in Frederick County, Maryland. He married Susan ----. They moved to Brown County, Indiana, in the fall of I 837 and settled on a farm west of Georgetown, Indiana. There were several children. I am not able to give all of their names. One was William H.,4 who married a Miss Phillips and at least two children were their's, Ella,5 who married George Gillispie, and they lived in Edinburg, Indiana; Emma5 who married Aaron Zody. They live in Georgetown, Ind., where he is a merchant. They had several children. William H.,4 the father of Ella and Emma, died August 2, 1867, aged 30. - 1 "MAC" WALTMAN,4 (Michael,3 Michael,2 Conrad. ) He married Eliza Brownfelter. They lived on a farm northeast of Georgetown and several children were born of this union. I am unable to give an entire record, but Anna5 married Newton Parsley. John5 married Ina Adams. Samuel5 married. I think they all lived near Georgetown. Michael and Susan \Valtman lived all the rest of their lives on the farm on which they settled as pioneers. I-le died February 16, 1877, and his wife died July 21, 1868. They are buried in the cemetery in Georgetown.

Some will be disappointed with this family record. Some of the family records are incomplete, but I did not know where to get them. My own family has been given more space than any other because I had the informa tion, and for no other reason. 115

CI-LJ\PTER XXI

LINE OF ANNA BARBARA \VALTMAN2 \VHO ~lARRIED · JACOB KUDER

"The memory of the just is blessed."-Proverbs, x, 7 2 E DO not have the birth date of Anna Barbara Waltman. She seems to belong between Hiram Michael2 and Ludwig.2 If so W she was born about 17 52. We know little about her, but that little is very much to her credit. She was a church worker. She was a prime favorite with the brothers that stayed near the old home. She three times stood as sponsor for the children of her two brothers, John Peter and Lieut. Valentine. Her name occurs on the church register as communicant. After her father's complete mental breakdown she, with her sister Maria, helped her mother take care of her afflicted father. She helped her mother and sister take the old Bible from her father's maniacal grasp, when he was de termined to tear it to pieces, and she helped cook those marvelous meals that were served to Baron DeKalb and Baron von Steuben in her father's home, in March, 1778. See Chapter XL That is all, but what an all! A forgiving, loving, dutiful daughter, a good sister, a real Christian, and one who accepted unpleasant duties and with cheerfulness helped her overburdened mother, and gave tip a marriage and home of her own for years, until her brother was free to take her place in caring for the father. After Andrew came home from the war, Barbara married. We do not know just when, but she was certainly past thirty. \Vas Jacob Kuder that she married, a faithful lover that had waited all of these years for her? He was old enough to have been. Or, after Andrew's return, did she pay a visit to that older sister of her's, Katherine Hampshire? If so, Katherine lived up to her reputation as a Past Mistress of Match-making, and speedily married her off. This Jacob Kuder, (Coder, Kooder ), was himself the son of another Jacob Kuder, an emigrant, who came to Philadelphia in 17 51. Jacob Kuder, Senior, in an Indian uprising, served in the Militia, enlisting May 1O, 175 6. The Kuders appear to have lived in Lancaster County. Anna Barbara may have met them on her visits to Mrs. Hampshire, or Jacob may have gone to Northampton County. In the Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Volume V, page--, there is mentioned a "Captain Kuder," no Christian name given. But Jacob Kuder who married Barbara is certainly the one who served under Captain Cleders, in the Third Battalion of Northampton County Troops. See Pennsylvania Archives. The only list of their children that has come down to us is a semi-public record of Jacob "Kooder" of Berks County. Their children were given as Conrad,3 Elias,3 Jacob,3 Nicholas3 and Peter.3 Jacob for the father, Conrad for the grandfather, Nicholas for the uncle that died in the Revolutionary 116

\Var, and Peter for Anna Barbara's brother. There appears to have been an Adam Kuder, not on this record, but a brother nevertheless. In 1834 Jacob Kuder Junior3 and Adam Kuder,3 supposed to be his brother, came from Lancaster County, Pa., to Ohio, to Medina County, and settled near Sharon, where other "'i,f.,T altman kin were living. An old letter says they were "fair dealing men, somewhat aristocratic, but good neighbors, nevertheless." An old note, probably authentic, as it came down the Valentine Walt man3 the Younger line,-and he at one time had the records of all of Con rad's children,-says that Jacob Kuder Senior came in the ship Nancy to Philadelphia in 1751, and was naturalized in 175 7. This note says it was his son, a second Jacob, that was in the war and that married Barbara \Valt man. So the Jacob Junior, Junior, that came to Ohio in 1834 was of the third generation of Kuders in America. This old note expressly says that "Jacob and Adam Kuder who came to Ohio in 1834 were own cousins to Valentine Waltman the Younger." The Kuders were fine people. Two of Barbara's grandchildren in herited Conrad Waltman's melancholia in middle age. Then the dreaded scourge spent itself and appeared no more. The scanty records at hand are none too clear, but apparantly they run like this: JACOB KuDER,3 son of Jacob and Anna Barbara (Waltman) Kuder, and grandson of Jacob Kuder and Conrad \Valtman, emigrants. He had these children: HIRAM KUDER,4 who was given the old Count Frundsberg name. ABIGAIL KUDER,4 who married a '\Vall. Charles Wall.5 JOHN KUDER.4 Other children, names not known.

ADAlVI KUDER,3 brother to Jacob,3 and son of Jacob Kuder, Junior, and his wife, Anna Barbara \Valtman. The children that are undoubtedly his are these: FRANK KUDER.4 Lived in Medina County, Ohio. ADAM KUDER, JUNIOR.4 Lived in Ohio. BERT KUDER,4 who went to California. DANIEL KUDER.4 BARBARA KUDER.4 SARAH KUDER.4 Another account says there were three more children that belong to one of these two families, with the probability that \Villiam4 was still another son of Adam Kuder. The other two were Allen Kuder and Laura Kuder, who married a Welton. These last two, Allen and Laura Kuder, may have been children of \Villiam.4 117

CHAPTER XXII

LUD\VIG \\TALTMAN'S LINE AND NICHOLAS \VALTMAN2

HERE has been needless confusion over the line of Ludwig \Valt man,2 who died in York County in 1822. The other Ludwig with T whom some confused him, was an older man, did not serve in the Revolutionary \Var, belonged to the Baltimore line of an independent Henry Waltman who came to America a full generation after Conrad Waltman came, and, moreover, in the four records found of him, this other Ludwig three times out of the four spelled his name Lodowick or Ludwick. Ludwig Waltman was born in 175 4. \Vhen he applied for a pension, in 1818, he deposed that he was then 64. He died August 8, 1822, aged 68. Like so many of Conrad's sons, there was seemingly trouble with his father. He settled in York County, and there was little intercourse between the families. He was said to have had a son Lewis, which is Ludwig Angle sized. Beyond this we know nothing of his later life. The census of 1790 gives him a wife, one son under 16 and three daughters. Some say he had a son Charles. He was not married when the war closed in 1783. With his brothers, he rushed to Philadelphia's defense in 1775. When the war was over the government paid him back pay on three items, a total of $175.90. He enlisted the second time in the Sixth Battalion of Northamp ton Troops in which his brother Frederick was fifer, and served from 1777 to 1 781. Each time his captain was Captain Bush, his colonel was Butler. See History of York County by John Gilson.

NICHOLAS \VALTMAN2

A. Brother Belo1)ed

With two of his other brothers he rushed to the defense of Philadelphia in 1775, when but 19 years of age. He served under Captain George Nagel in Colonel Thompson's Battalion of Riflemen, as corporal. In August, _1775, he was serving under Captain George Long and Colonel Richard McAllister. July 1 O, 1776, he was in barracks in Philadelphia, under Captain Benjamin Weiser. He was corporal then. Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. III, page 792. This is the last official notice of him, and he is supposed to have died or been killed in battle in 1778, shortly after the episode of Conrad tearing out the fly leaves of the Bible. That was in 1777, and a shock of some kind left poor Conrad insane for the rest of his days, not long after. It was in March, 1778, \vhen with his brothers he \Vas still at Vallev Forge. Killed soon after. · ~ 118

CHAPTER XXIII

THE LINE OF MARIA WALTMAN2 WHO MARRIED MELCHIOR RUCKLE

"A quiet and peaceful life in all Godliness and honesty."-] Tim., ii, 2 ARIA vV AL TMAN 2 was the twelfth child and next to the youngest of Conrad W altman's large family. She was born about 175 8. Some M of her descendants give her name as Marie. But in a birth cer tificate of her son Peter, her name is distinctly given as Maria, so that must be right. Her brother, Lieut. Valentine,2 named a daughter after her. Like Anna Barbara,2 her next older sister, and with this same sister, for years and years she stayed at home and helped their mother care for their poor afflicted father. She helped cook that marvelous dinner for Baron DeKalb and Baron von Steuben, in March, 1778. She also did her share in wresting the precious Bible from the hands of her maniacal father six months before this. Not until Andrew,2 (faithful Andrew, that they all knew would never fail them), came home from the war, did Maria allow herself to think of mar riage. She was twenty-five when the war closed. She may have married by 1784 or a little later. Her husband's father was an emigrant also. l\1elchior Ruckle, (Rooke!) was the son of the emigrant. He enlisted twice in the troops of the Revolutionary War. First, in the celebrated Fly ing Camp, in the same company as that of his future father-in-law, Conrad Waltman, under Captain Peter Runio. Two-thirds of the Flying Camp were captured in the fall of that same year, 1776, in New Jersey. Melchior either escaped or else was exchanged, for a little later he was in the Seventh Company of the Fourth Battalion of Pennsylvania Troops, under Captain George Roudebush. See Pennsylvania Archives. When the rest of the Waltman tribe caught the Ohio emigration fever~ Melchior and Maria felt too old to go. But their son, Peter Henry Ruckle,3 and his family went to this Western Re·serve. His line is all that we have after that generation. But we do have a list of Melchior and Maria's chil dren. They were these, order of birth unknown: NICHOLAS "ROOCKEL."3 Named for his boy uncle that died in the war. ANDREW RUCKEL.3 (Rookel.) Named for his uncle Andrew. He was married in the last accounts, as was Nicholas Ruckle, his brother. WILLIAM RUCKLE,3 born in 1791. Single in the 1820's. FREDERICK RUCKLE.3 Named for his uncle who died in the war. SAMUEL RUCKLE,3 born 1805. PETER HENRY RUCKLE,3 a twin. Born November 28, 1798, in Northampton County, Hanover Township, Pa. The other twin had the same name, turned the other way about! Peter of course was for Maria's brother, John Peter "\Valtman. 119

HENRY PETER RUCKLE,3 the other twin. He came to Sharon. Center, Ohio, and lies buried in the cemetery there. He was an own cousin to Valentine Waltman3 the Younger, and they were bosom friends all of their lives. He was alwavs called Peter. A fine man and a fine wife and fine family. His wife w;s ''Sallie," but as he was married twice, this was probably the last wife's name. The family think her surname was Johns.

THE FIRST WIFE'S CHILDREN The first wife of Peter Ruckle was said to have been a young widow, with one daughter, named Gazelle----. He had two children of his own by this wife. SELINDA RUCKLE.4 She was a tall, fine looking woman of superior character. Always serene and well poised. She married Washington Noble, and they: moved to Michigan. They had a large family. The only names of their children that have come down to us are these: Sarah Noble.5 Henry Noble. 5 Gazelle Noble.5 Selinda Ruckle-Noble4 was born July 7, 1823. She was still living in the 1880's. MARY RUCKLE,4 born February 26, 1825. She married a Wager. 120

THE SECOND \VIFE'S CHILDREN By his second wife, Sallie Johns, Peter Ruckle had these descendants: PHEBE A. RUCKLE,4 born January 28, 1831. Died September 10, 1923, aged nearly ninety-three. She ma~ried Ammie Rockwood. Their children live in Hinckley, Ohio, and in Akron, Ohio. Hon. Bion E. Rockwood,5 a leading citizen and councilman of Akron, 0. His wife, Mamie Lois Rockwood, died in January, 1927. Claud A. Rockwood. 6 Hon. Bion Rockwood lives with him. Helen C. Rockwood.7 RACHEL RUCKLE,4 born March 28, 1834.

CHAPTER XXIV LINE OF ANDRE\V \VALTMAN,2 SON OF CONRAD1 THE . EMIGRANT "He v.:as the son of his father's old age."-Gen., xxxvii, 3

SECTIOK I THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS THAT WENT "\VEST" TO OHIO AND MICHIGAN "Inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers."-] ob, viii, 8

DREW \VALTMA:r,-2 was the youngest of Conrad \Valtman's large family. He was born in 1760. At the time of his birth he had six grownup brothers and sisters. His twin sisters were more than twenty-one years older than he. One of them, Katherine Hampshire, had been a wife seven years and was the mother of three children. Two other sisters had children older than he. He was named for his mother's brother, Andrew Bierly. Andrew Waltman had the \Valtman looks, but he was decidedly his mother's son. He was the man that his future father-in-law, Captain Adam Zarfess, wished his daughter to marry, saying to her, "He is the finest man I have ever known." He was devoted to his patient, much enduring mother. He got along without quarreling with his exacting father. During the long years of Conrad's derangement he took the best of care of his afflicted parent. Few husbands are ever as affectionate and considerate as he always was of his wife. He was an exceptional father, a Christian leader and a good neighbor. Like his father, his seven brothers, three brothers-in-law and seventeen nephews, he fought in_ the war of the Revolution. He served as a private in the Fifth Pennsylvania Continental Line under Colonels Francis John son and Richard Butler. His :Major was Thomas l\1oor. This was in 1777- 1780. He was in the Cornwallis campaign, and at Charlottsburg, Williams burg, Brandywine and Germantown. He served under Captain Adam Zar fess at least a part of this time. See Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. Ill, page 23, where he is recorded by a printer's error as Andrew Waitman instead of Waltman. He also served in the Indian Frontier disturbances in the \Vyoming Valley, Pa. He was enrolled in Captain Jacob Claden's Company, in the 7th Class of Northampton County Troops, or Militia "Now in service in \Vyoming." He was under Colonel Stephen Balliot and Lieut. Col. Nicholas Ke!"ns, in 1784, the year after the Revolutionary War closed. The records show that this Battalion under Colonel Stephen Balliot was organized "for the Frontiers," April 22, 1 782, while the great struggle of the Revolutionary \Var was on hand. The British incited the Indians to rise. This division of soldiers was raised to hold the depredations of the Indians in check and to protect the families in the interior of the state. 122

The family understand that Andrew Waltman joined in April, 1782, but as this was a Militia company, served only when there was an emergency and the Militia caIIed out. \Vhen he was not required to do active military duty he was ailowed to return to his parents' home where he helped his mother in her arduous duties of waitin~ upon and caring for his insane father. See Pennsylvania Archives, Series VI, Vol. III, page 879. Also Pennsylvania Archives, Series VI, Vol. II, page 728. Mrs. Lora S. La Mance, her daughter, Mrs. Lora L. Watkins, and her granddaughter, Mrs. Loralee Johnson, aII of Lake Wales, Florida, have had their D. A. R. records accepted from this military record. Any other female descendant of his, or of his father, Count Conrad Waltman, are entitled to join this rather exclusive organization, on these records. Katherine Waltman died March 25, 1786. Her husband outlived her ten years. Andrew did not marry until after his mother's death and until

after his two sisters had married. These were Anna Barbara and Maria, who respectively married Jacob Kuder and Melchior Ruckle. His choice o:t a wife fell on the daughter of his old captain, Adam Zar£ ess, Anna Maria Margretta Zarfess, nine years younger than himself. She was 20 and he was 29 when they were made one in 1789. He died in 1829 and she died a little over two years later in 1832. The author's mother remembered her grandmother well. She was a wiry little old lady, very dressy, a real aristocrat, that looked and acted the duchess. She wore elaborate lace caps and was always ready to receive her company. The stately old soul was pleasant and affable, but she allowed no grandchild, or anyone else for that matter, to run over her. She exacted deference, and always had it. Her husband worshipped the ground she walked on. In spite of her haughty air, there must have been much good about this Grandmother Anna Maria Margretta. She looked after the poor insane father-in-law as though he had been her own father. She looked well to the ways of her household. In their old age Andrew and his wife lived with their oldest son, Valentine the Younger, and the old wife got along all right with the younger housekeeper, which is saying a good deal when two families live under one roof. She was herself, right through and never tried to be anybody else. She was a loving mother, but her favorite was her third son, Abraham, and she did not care who knew it. She gave the old family Bible that had come down so many generations to this son be cause he was her favorite. By strict rights it should have gone to the oldest son, Valentine. Nearly one hundred years after it was voluntarily restored to that line by Abraham W altman's grandson, and is now in Mrs. La Mance's possession, and she is Valentine W altman's granddaughter, the one that was really entitled to it. Anna Maria Margretta-the name was never shortened-was the old est daughter of Captain Adam Zarfess and his wife, Elizabeth Shaffer. She was Andrew's cousin. His mother's niece, Christiana Miller, married Cap tain Adam Zarfess' father. See the article on MILLER in Allied Families section. To Andrew Waltman and his wife were born four sons and four daugh 3 ters. Valentine the Younger, -(so called to distinguish him from his uncle, Lieut. Valentine Waltman)-who married Achsa Wilson, was born in 1 790; Katherine,3 who married Julius \Volcott, 1792; Adam,3 who married Judy Harp; Susan,3 who married first a Dugan and then her cousin, Jacob Miller; Abraham,3 born in 1801 ; Polly,3 who married a Bolen; Margaret,3 who married a Hess, and Andrew,3 the youngest of all, who married Albertine Zaner. They were a fine, intelligent family, and some of them were of great comeliness. They were all religiously inclined. Many of them became Methodists. Valentine, Adam, Margaret, Polly and Susan, with their fam ilies, all went to Ohio, Michigan or Illinois, that was then called the west. This entire chapter will be devoted to them and their descendants, while the next chapter will be given to those lines that mostly remained in Penn sylvania. 124

VALENTINE '\VALTMAN'S3 LINE

"A just man and perfect in his generation."-Genesis, i:i, 9

Valentine was born October 25, 1790, ~xactly fifty-two years after his grandfather landed in America. Nature was lavish with her gifts. He was fine looking, had high principles, sound judgment, and a quick brain. All of the family spoke English or German equally well. Valentine also wrote German easily and fluently. He was always a reader, and Countess Bar bara's books, the few that escaped Conrad's frenzy in 1777, when he carried armloads of them out to the American troops to be used as wadding, had been read bv him over and over. Counte~s Barbara died in February, 1762. Count Conrad in 1796. Offi cially the family died in the eyes of German law. Great was the Waltman family's surprise, therefore, along about September, 1811, to receive an offi cial letter from the Bavarian Government, telling them that while the estate had lapsed to the crown upon her death, as Conrad put forth no claim to it, and he was then a resident of a foreign land, the government had kept the estate intact as well as all monies received from it for that half century. They had all of the time kept track of the possible claimants. The title had lapsed, as there were no legitimate heirs to a title. But if the family of Conrad Waltman, deceased, would bring clear proofs of their descent from Conrad Waltman and his morganatic wife, Katherine Bierly, and bring properly drawn up powers of attorney, the government was ready to turn ~ve~ the estate and the large sum of ~Oney -accrued to a representative of the family. Only, this must be done before the half century anniversary of her death. Upon that date, if no proper representative appeared, it would be turned over to the crown, and the heirs would be forever barred from receiving this property. There was a great commotion. It appears that all of the brothers and sisters alive at the close of the Revolutionary War, were still living. They were not so old; but a trip to Germany in those days of slow sailing vessels - that took two months to make the voyage, and if storms interfered, took some times four months, was considered as great an undertaking as it would now to go around the world. Every brother had some excuse or other. In family conclave it was settled to send Valentine the Younger. He would be 21, the 25th of October, was foot-loose and single. He prepared for the trip. Michael2 was living in Maryland. Ludwig2 was in York County. The sisters, Katherine Hampshire,2 Eleanor Lutz2 and Margaret Y once2 were living in Lancaster and Berks Counties. '\Villiam,3 the son of William,2 was in Lycoming County. Frederick,3 the son of Frederick,2 and Nicholas,3 his brother, were living in a remote part of the state. Every one of those had to be visited and a power of attorney obtained from them for Valentine the Younger to act for them. I 2 .)-

A fine broadcloth suit was made for the young man for best occasions together with a suit to travel in. Everything was made by hand in those days. Valentine had a little trunk made for the voyage. It was 24 inches long, 13 inches wide and 1-2 inches deep. It had thin iron bands at the edge and two brass bands around the center, riveted with broadheaded brass brads. On the lid was his initials, V. \V., in closely placed brass tacks. It was lined with a small figured blue and white wall paper. It is now in the possession of his granddaughter, the author. It had taken two months to get all of these powers of attorney and to get the other legal papers ready for him. It was now close to December. Just as he was all ready to start, the busybody got in his work. Someone told Valentine that such and such of the heirs had said that they never expected to see him again. He would go over there, get all of that money and all of that property, and never come back. He would keep it. They had signed the agreement that he should have full authority to act for them, but he would be beyond their reach and they could not help themselves if he kept every cent. Valentine was a pleasant man, and one that usually controlled himself well, but he did have in his veins some of that hot Spanish temper. In a rage he tore up every power of attorney, threw the pieces in the fire, and swore the only oath of his whole life. He said "he'd be d---d if he would go!" He used to say that his one swear word cost a fortune. The mischief was done. It was impossible to assemble all of those legal papers again from those widely scattered points and get them together in time for a voyage to Germany, where the family agent must be early in February, 1812. So perished the family fortune.

AUTOGRAPH OF VALENTINE WALTMAN, THE YOUNGER Soon after this Valentine married Miss Achsa '\Vilson. She was born July 25, 1 791. She was a good and faithful wife. Towards her only living son, John \Valtman and he a paralyzed cripple, she showed a tenderness that never tired, a love that never failed. Her daughters were dear to her, but for this one afflicted son she made every sacrifice. Achsa and her mother in-law lived together for years in harmony. After the mother's death early in 1832, Valentine and family moved to Sharon Center, Ohio, reaching there in September, 1832. A missionary Methodist church was organized before the year was out, and Valentine, his wife and daughters Kezia, !vfargaret and Rebecca were charter members. Valentine was always a very active member. He stood high in public esti mation. Their children were six. A careless nurse caused the death of a babv boy at three days old by giving him laudanum to quiet him. Little Andre~ at eight was run over and killed. John, at 20, was paralyzed and was a con stant care until his death at 54. Three daughters, Kezia,4 Margaret4 and Rebecca,4 carried on the line. Achsa died December 3, 1863, and Valentine died in August, 1873. He married again. The last wife was Mrs. Mary (Lacey) Brigham, a fine woman and church worker, but as a neighbor said, "pizen neat." '\Vithin three days of her husband's death she had emptied his little trunk, full of records, and burned them everyone, because she did not want "a mess of papers cluttering up everything." Achsa (V\.rilson) \Valtman was the daughter of a Revolutionary soldier, Andrew \Vilson, and his wife, Rebecca l\tlcLane, the sister of the celebrated "fighting McLanes," everyone of them officers in the war, and grand daughter of Col. Samuel Erwin, the very oldest officer in the Revolutionary v\rar. Naturally she was proud of her family's record. It is too long to be given here, but quite a full account of their long pedigree and their achieve ments will be given in the section, Chapter XXVI, Allied Families, under the subdivisions of l\1cLane and Wilson. \Ve will now trace the lines of the three daughters. 127

KEZIA (WALTMAN) NICHOLS SECTION

"Ready for every good work."-Titus, iii, 2

4 1 KEZIA \:VALTMAN (Valentine,3 Andrew,2 Conrad. ) was born October 8, 1814. She died at the home of her daughter, Lora S. La Mance, December 3, 18 9 5, in Pineville, Mo. She went with her parents into Ohio when it was a new land, married at 23, and went into the wilderness of northern Indiana, and after she was a widow, followed her children first to Minnesota and then into North Dakota while the Indian was still in the land. So she was a fourfold pioneer. The Waltman family were proud of her. She had a goodly heritage, good looks, an active brain and a clear conscience. Her memory was phe nomenal. With the exception of the "begats" as she called them, the gene alogical tables of the Bible, she could repeat every word of the Scriptures from the first word of Genesis to the last word of Revelations. She knew by heart Milton's Paradise Lost, Young's Night Thoughts and Pope's Essay on Man. To the day of her death she could read an article and then repeat it word for word. When the Academy opened at Huntington, Luzerne County, Pa., when she was in her teens, she besought her father to let her go. He consented. Immediately there was trouble. Their conservative neighbors thought it was scandalous that a girl should seek a man's education. They petitioned thf' Ar:irlt>my to pnt hPr ont F.vf'ry W:1 ltm:in, olrl :incl young; stood pat that a girl had just as good a right to a good education as a boy. After weeks of heated discussion the faculty ruled she could stay. One of the neighbors said: "Well, Felta (Valentine), you won out. But you'll spile her! You'll spile her! There can't enny woman git an eddication an' ever make a good house keeper!"

Kezia was 17 when in September, 1831, they moved to Sharon Center, Medina County, Ohio. She became one of the very first women teachers in the state. Because she was a woman, she received a salary of but $2.00 a week and "boarded around." Later this was increased to $3.00 a week and board. Kezia saved her money. A tithe and later a double tithe was put by for her church contributions. A tithe of course is a tenth. To the day of her death she always gave the double tithe, no matter how hard up she might be, so that a fifth of her income went for good purposes. "Not by necessity of rule," she said, "but by grace, because of God's exceedingly great good ness to me." A certain amount of this hard-earned monev went into books that to her were as great a necessity as food to the body. \\7hen she was mar ried in January, 1837, she had saved enough to buy two pretty dresses, "sprigged prints" at 5 0 cents a yard, for her trousseau! She had many suitors. She was a fine conversationalist, agreeable, and of a rare type of beauty. It has twice over been told that she was one of the two "doubles,"-itself a thing out of the ordinary,-that so reproduced the features, looks and carriage of her foremother, Katherine (Bierly) \Valt man, that she might have passed for her. And Katherine Bierly was the attractive girl for whom Conrad \Valtman gave up friends, home and descent of title. Kezia as a girl was tall an9- slender. Her silky hair was raven black. Her eyes were sparkling and dark, and she had the true Vv alt man complexion that had come down 13 6 years to her from the Castilian Valentine Waltman, a complexion that never sunburned, tanned or freckled. Her skin was a blending of the rose and the lily. At 81, her skin was as fair as a baby's and her cheeks tinted like the wild rose. Out of her many sweethearts she chose Nelson Nichols, brainy, upright, true as steel to what he believed. It proved to be a most harmonious mar riage. \Vhen he was "wearing away" in his last sickness, he could not bear her out of his sight. For more than eleven months, she never undressed and went to bed. She slept in a chair or on a couch by his side, ready at a sigh or a turn to minister to him. He died February 3, 1865, and she out lived him nearly 31 years, dying December 3, 1895. Nelson Nichols was born May 11, 1812, in Pomey Hill, N. Y. He died February 3, 1865, in Wolcottville, Indiana, where he was an early settler and a substantial citizen. A cousin said of him, "We were always proud of Nel son. He was good-looking, bright and keen, and had a moral record as clean as any woman's. On Sundays he used to look as though he had just stepped out of a band-box, he was so spruce in his broadcloth and beaver. But he was not afraid of work and always had an eye out for the main chance." His descent will be found in Chapter XXVI, as it is too long to be given here. It went back to Charlemagne of a thousand years before and to royal descent many times over. His father, David Nichols, and his grandfather, Samuel Ki_ng of R. I., were both Revolutionary soldiers. They were married on January 23, 1837, and immediately set out on their wedding journey to the bridegroom's home in the almost unbroken forest of northwestern Indiana, to what is now Wolcotville, Indiana. At that time the nearest store and the nearest post office was at Fort Wayne, forty miles away, and wide swamps to cross to get there. The Pottowa tomie Indians were all about them. Fortunately they were friendly. To reach their new home it was necessary to cross the dreaded Black Swamp on the Ohio border. It took days to cross it. Some days they made but three miles advance. People expected to be mired down every two or three miles and to be pried out with fence rails carried along for the purpose. Oxen do not mire down as readily as horses. So her wedding journey was behind a pair of trusty oxen, a matched pair of red and black, Buck and Bright by name. The wagon was piled full. Fodder and corn for the oxen. Victuals for the humans; a trunk of clothing and household linens. A rag carpet. Hoes and plows, a scythe and grain cradle, and a flail to thresh out grain.

129 corn, seed oats and seeds for the garden; rose roots, snowball, lilac bushes, clumps of flowering iris, tawny day lily, Washington's bower, blackberry lily, London pride, perennial phlox, rocket, "old man" and "old woman," aromatic herbs and a clump of red "pineys" (peonias), for Kezia was going to have flowers if she went without bread. Nelson put in a stock of grape cuttings, and raspberry and current bushes. Small wonder that their home had the most flowers in the county and one of the best orchards. · They took along their furniture, Valentine's gift. Made, as every such thing was made in those days by a local cabinet maker who wrought by hand pretty nearly everything made of wood from an ox yoke to a coffin. There was a bureau, which was quite an aristocratic possession, a fall-leaf table, a four-post bedstead and some splint-bottomed chairs. Besides this there were some carefully packed blue willow-ware dishes, an earthenware churn and crocks, a couple of iron kettles, a brass kettle, knives and forks and spoons, an iron tea-kettle, a wood chopping bowl, a potato masher, a butter ladle and a rolling pin. These last four articles Valentine had made for his daughter out of gum and black walnut wood. Achsa Walton completed this "setting out" by contributing the rag car pet,-a bit of elegance much appreciated,-home spun sheets and blankets, home woven linen towels and a feather bed. Kezia was quite the envy of her girl companions because of the abundance of her housekeeping things! Our pioneer parents were content with the essentials. They asked for no luxuries. · Fifty years later Kezia gave that very rolling pin that her father had made out of a block of black walnut to her daughter. It had seen half a century of use in preparing meals for a family that had a tooth for pies and

THE ROLLING PIN THAT MADE THREE-FOURTHS OF A MILLION BISCUITS

cream biscuit. "There," she said, "is my rolling pin. It has rolled out 50,000 doughnuts and the crust for 37,500 pies and 750,000 biscuits. I think it is entitled to a rest." Their's was a family of readers. She had nine children of her own, of whom six lived to marry. They raised three of Nelson's orphan nieces and nephews; they always had a house full of company, and their's was a preach er's home, no matter what denomination he might represent. Kezia helped to nurse all of the sick in the neighborhood, and did more church work than any other woman in the county. Nelson got breakfast every Sunday morn ing so she could get all of the little folks as well as herself off to Sunday school and church. Nelson was a strong Abolitionist and kept an under ground station ( as the hiding places were called to harbor slaves running away to Canada), a thing neither popular or safe if caught doing it. Both were temperance workers and stood for every uplift movement. Yet this 130 busy wife found time to read and write poetry, for which she had a real talent. Much of it was published in the journals of that day.

GO SEARCH THE FIELDS

Go search the fields, the gardens and the bowers, And cull the sweetest, richest, fairest flowers; Pluck the wild rose that every hedge adorns, But ere you bring it, strip it of its thorns.

Daisies, and glowing phlox, sweet violets, Petunias, pansies, larkspurs, mignonette, And all the varied lovely flowers you see, Gather with care and bring them unto me.

Gather me treasures common and rare, Shells and pebbles and flowers fair, Ferns and· mosses, bits of things. Each one to me some pleasure brings.

THREE SCORE YEARS AND TEN

Three score and ten long years I've told, But strange to say I don't feel old. My friends are kind and health is good, I have my books, my work, and rest and food. I love to gaze on earth and sky; On valleys low and mountains high. And though today I may not know The path in which my feet shall go.

I'll praise the Lord for mercies past, And trust His guidance till the last. He's promised us His tender care Down to old age and hoary hair.

A MOTHER'S GIFT-THE BIBLE

Remember, love, who gave you this When other days shall come; ,vhen she who had thv earliest kiss Sleeps in her nairow home.

A mother's blessing on her son Goes with this holy thing. The heart that would enjoy the one, Must to the other cling.

Remember, 'twas a mother gave This gift to one she'd die to save. Remember, 'tis no idle toy, A mother's gift, my darling boy! 131

Her husband died on February 3, 1865. She died at her daughter's in· Pineville, Missouri, December 3, 1895. On her gravestone are these words: "She made the world better by having lived in it." Her second child, Miranda, died when six weeks old. Her third child, Myra, died at seven teen. Her youngest son, Myron, died at eight. The other six children, Fernando,5 Achsa A.,5 Valentine,5 John J., 5 Nancy T.,5 and Lora,5 all married and raised families. Everyone was a church worker, a reader, a pusher and a leader. Kezia Nichols was never so busy that she could not do Christian work. Staunch a prohibitionist as she was, when the saloon keeper's family was down with sickness, she tenderly nursed them back to health. When a woman "that was a sinner," and an unblushing one at that, came down to a long and painful sickness that ended in death, when not another woman would go near wicked "Aunt Cinda," Kezia, near on to eighty, waded the snow, cooked for her, washed for her, waited on her, and tried faithfully to point her to the Savior who forgave the thief on the cross. When her last day on earth had dawned the watchers by her bedside caught the faint words, "Thy will be done!" and she had crossed the great divide. Her daughter Attie wrote:

"Her eighty years of life Were spent in doing good. By deeds she proved her faith In human brotherhood.

Death came and breathed his icy chill Just· where our mother's footsteps trod; Her throbbing heart grew cold and still, Her work is done. She rests with God."

In her younger years Kezia was a Wesleyan Methodist. Later she be came a Presbyterian. Her children were all untiring church workers in five different Protestant denominations. 132

5 4 1 FERNANDO NICHOLS. (Kezia, Valentine,3 Andrew,2 Conrad. )

"Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."-] Thessalonians, xii, 4

Fernando Nichols was born in Wolcottville, Indiana, January 20, 1838. He died in Los Angeles, California, July 1 O, 1910. Two days after he was of age he married his second cousin, 1\!Iary Jane Cady, the granddaughter of a Revolutionary soldier who served in Connecticut. She was one of the salt of the earth. She raised five children to be growi1, made a home for Edgar, her only brother, all of his life, took care of four old, feeble and childish uncles and aunts for years, until one by one they crossed over. And then she feared she was remiss in her Christian duty because she did not do more church work! She died March 17, 1923. Fernando served in Company G, in the 88th Regiment of Indiana Volunteers. Later he joined the Engineer Corps, and did heavy and danger ous duty in building roads and bridges in Tennessee and Georgia, often in the face of a galling fire from the enemy. He was in the battles of Murfrees boro, Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga and of Chicamauga. He helped to build a long stretch of bridges in the face of the enemy in the Chickahominy Swamp, as is shown in the picture herewith given, that was taken at the time

A BRIDGE IN CHICKAHOMINY SWAMP 1 33 for Harpers' vVeekly. But he came out without a scratch. In the Engineer Corps, building bridges, he waded in water up to his armpits. He died of heart trouble that in later years resulted because of this exposure. Fernando was a Baptist from his head to his heels. In ten years' time as Sunday school superintendent he never lost but two Sundays that he was not at his post. He was noted for his crisp, sawed-off-in-the-middle speeches that always hit the mark. His prayers were brief, but powerful. He was a good man. Four children died in infancy. Five married. Minnie 0. Nichols6 was the oldest child that lived. She inherited the traits of both father and mother and lived up to them. Her home is in Los Angeles, California. She married \Vilbur Rose, born in New York, who died in 1920. He was the son of Benjamin and Louisa (Bull) Rose. The father was killed at Cold Harbor in the Civil war. \Vilbur was a child of but four and was not brought up with other Rose families. There are two strains of Roses in New York. One from the religious Refugee Rose family. To this he did not belong. Circumstances indicate that he belonged to the Virginia-New York Roses, and that Benjamin was either the son of Charles Alexander Rose and his first wife, Maud Hallett, and the grandson of Robert and Mary Selden Rose who came to Geneva, N. Y., from Virginia just before 1800, or else that his father was Robert Rose, Junior, 1804-1877, a brother of Charles Alexander Rose. Rev. Robert Rose, 1704-1 7 5 I, was descended from the Roses of Scotland, the sixteenth in descent from Hugh Rose who flourished in 1302, and ninth in line from James the I, through hisdaughter,Princess Annabella of Scotland. He came to Virginia as a minister, having been ordained by the Bishop of London. By his second wife, Anne Fitzhugh, he had Patrick Rose, their third son, who was a colonel in the Revolu tionary \\Tar over a regiment of Cavalry, and fought at Guilford Court House and in the Carolinas. Col. Patrick's first wife was Jane Lawson. Her only child was ROSE COAT OF ARMS Robert Rose, 1774-1835. He married l\1ary Selden and went to New York. Seven children. Of the five sons, three had no children. Robert, Jr., 1804-1877, had sons, by his first wife, Almira Allen. His younger brother, Charles Alexander, by his first wife, Maud Hallett, had children. Either of these brothers bv their first wives could have been the father of Benjamin Rose married by 18 5 5 or a little earlier. Unfortunately they were careless in keeping records, and the names of their sons are not known. 1 34

Charles,7 son of \Vilbur and Minnie Rose, lived to grow up. He married Harriet Cram, and lives on a ranch in California. They have Rupert Wil bur,8 born in 1918; Donald LaMar,8 born in 1920, and Mildred Cram,8 born in 1921. Charles Dickinson Nichols6 was born January 24, 1868. He is a quiet man who thinks more than he talks. He is a contractor and knows his busi ness. His home is in Oakdale, Louisiana, near his younger brother, Edgar Nichols. He married Bernice Petty, a newspaper woman of South Dakota, November 3, 1890. They have two children. After their children were grown and married, and time hung heavy on her hands, Bernie went back to her first love, reporting and journalistic work, and is an A No. 1 success at it. Henry Nichols,7 born December 17, 1895. He married Lucile Ward low. They live in Jac:kson, Miss. No children. Ruth Nichols,7 born October 6, 1900. She is married to Matt Burnett and they live in Beaumont, Texas. No children. Allen George Nichols6 was born December 5, 1869. He died in his beautiful Los Angeles home July 23, 1923. He married Emma S. Reich mann November 3, 1892. Kind, generous, progressive, full of snap and fire, it was a shock to all in his sudden death in the prime of life. Two children, Harry and Gladys. Harry George Nichols7 is a Consulting Chemical Engineer. He has had some unusual experiences. He was sent out as a missionary of the Protestant Episcopal Church to China in 1917. He was instructor of Chemistry and Physics in the Boone University, Wuchang, Hupeh Province. Owing to ill health of himself and wife they returned to the United States in the fall of 1 921, and they now live in Los Angeles. His wife is Dorothy, the daughter of Alfred and Emily (Claridge) Wood, and she was born in Huntington, Hunts, England. She became a social worker. She traveled via Japan to China to marry Harry. In Japan she had ptomaine poisoning, but pluckily went on, before she was half well. Meanwhile Harry was pharmacist for the Church General Hospital at Wuchang. He was more than half sick himself from his overwork in the hospital, and then the authorities were ge-tting ready to quarantine the city for cholera. So sick Harry got away just in time to meet sick Dorothy. They were married at Holy Trinity Cathedral, Shanghai, China, September 1O, 1919, and started up the Yangste River, a five days' trip, to reach Hankow. There was such a storm that none of the ferry-boats dared to cross the river. So the sick bride had to travel for miles in a sedan chair up the river until the bridegroom could find a government lifeboat to take them across the nver. During the terrible famine in China, Harry was placed in charge of the Relief \York at Su Ning. So awful was the distress that the young people gave all they could, even refusing to buy any Christmas presents that they might give more to save human life. A letter from Harry tells the story thus: "In the spring of 1921 I was in charge of the Relief Station at Su 1 35

Ning Hoien, Province of Chih-Li. There were about 60,000 people in the · Hsien (County) and we had only food enough for 30,000. I won't tell what happened to the rest. I was the only white man in the district, and there was only one Chinese who could talk English. Fortunately I spoke a dialect similar to that of that region. I received a nicely decorated parchment of thanks from the president and secretary of the North China International Society of Famine Relief." Their return from China was as exciting. Two weeks before they left W uchang twenty thousand soldiers mutinied and wrecked the business por tion of the city, burning down a thousand homes, looting the mint, the Provincial Bank, etc. 300 or 400 people were murdered that night. George Herbert Nichols7 born in Los Angeles, Cal., October 11, 1921. Harry George Nichols, Jr.,7 born in Covina, Cal., February 22, 1924. Gladys Nichols7 was a business girl until her marriage. She was born April 21, 18 99. As her father said, she is a daughter well worth being proud of. She was married January 12, 1928, to Joseph Kendall Rice. They are living in Hollywood, Cal. The Rice family has an honored history in the United States and goes back and back, to Constantine the Great and his mother, Empress Helena, to the early Britons of the old days when there was no England but Britain instead. Joseph Kendall Rice was born in Lopez, Pa. He is the son of Frank G. Rice and Adelaide (Kinney) Rice. He is a mechanical engineer.

Harry Elton Nichols,6 (Fernando,5 Kezia,4 Yalentine,3 Andrew,2 Con rad.1) born August 12, 18 7 4. He lives in a pretty home in St. Louis. He married a St. Louis girl, Clara Deihl, a housekeeper of housekeepers. Harry has the most wonderful backyard garden perhaps in the state. He raises flow ers and vegetables for the joy of it, and there could be no better ones. He has an expert's fine collection of iris and other choice plants. It is a wonder the yard does not sink under its load! He has his father's kind heart . .I.vlarjorie Nichols, who takes after her beautiful grandmother. She is married to a Mr. Zaft and lives in St. Louis, also. Edgar Fernando Nichols,6 born September 22, 1880. He is called "Ed." He is very like his father in his church activities. A stirring, energetic busi ness man. In the World's \Var, because of his deep interest in religious matters, he was placed in the Y. M. C. A. and Red Cross work in the "Huts," and did good work among the soldiers. He lives in Oakdale, La. He was married June 11, 1903, to Ida Godwin of that place. No children. LINE OF ACHSA (ATTIE) NICHOLS STOWE

"She openeth her mouth with wisdom."-Proi:erbs, xxxi, 26

ATTIE A. (Achsa Anne) NICHOLS.5 (Kezia,4 Valentine,3 Andrew,2 1 Conrad. ) She died in Los Angeles, California, aged 67. A brilliant woman, a brainy woman and an energetic woman. Her first husband was her second cousin, Fletcher Hayes Noble, whom she married in 1863. He died in a few years in Ohio. Their second child, Carrie,6 died young. Their oldest, Myra E.,6 was a remarkably handsome woman. She married Ernest E. Everett. Their five children all died in infancy, and Myra soon followed them to the grave. Ralph,6 the youngest of the Noble children, at 22, mar ried in Idaho, Nettie Benton, a girl of 16. Six months after their marriage he contracted typhoid fever and died. Five months later his posthumous son, Ralph, Junior,7 was born to a 17-year-old-mother. This younger Ralph is married to Mary ----., and lives in Idaho. No children. Attie A. married ( 2) Captain Martin Stowe, born in Massachusetts, in 1830. He died in Hailey, Idaho, many years ago. Her Stowe children are Cora A.,6 born June 11, 1871. She has been married twice. She has a son by the second marriage, Eugene Stowe,6 born December 4, 18 72. He married Stella Gimble in 1903. Arthur W. Stowe,6 born August 29, 1874. Married and has a daughter. George \Valtman Stowe,6 born August 28, 1876. He is married. All of these Stowes live in the far west. They move around so much and write so seldom that the family have lost sight of them since their mother's death. Mrs. Stowe had much of her mother's literary talent. She wrote for leading journals. She was sometimes called "The poet of the Pacific Coast." '\Ve give one of her typical poems:

Because another's muse Gives her a sweeter lay, Shall I, then, dare refuse The words mine bids me say?

Because another paints \Vith touch and skill more free, Shall I hold in restraints The talents God gave me?

Because another's path Seems brighter far to me, Dare I assume God's wrath? Refuse His love to see?

Because another's work Lies in the focus light Of fame, dare I to shirk My duty to the right?

~ o; let me rather ask God's blessing on my own. If I do well my task, I'll hear Him say, "\Veil done." Attie A. was a loyal member of the Unitarian Church. 137

THE LINE OF COLONEL VALENTINE DAVID NICHOLS "A faithful man shall abound u:ith blessings."-Proverbs, xx,.,.:iii, 20

COLONEL VALENTINE DAVID NICHOLS,5 (Kezia,4 Valentine.,3 1 Andrew,2 Conrad. ) Tine, as he was always called, was born October 26, 1845, in \;Volcottville, Indiana. He died February 25, 1923, in San Jose, California. He was married twice: (1 ) to Marie Antionette (Nettie) Stevenson of Cattaragus County, New York. She was the mother of Harold Nelson,6 Hubert V. D.,6 Clyde,6 who died young, Rosamond Elfie Antion ette6 and Lucian. 6 Their mother died when her last child was a few days old and is buried in Brandon, Minnesota. His second wife was Mrs. Kather ine (Lander) Bartoss, who was born in Bohemia. To them were born Ethel,6 Benjamin Franklin,6 Lora K.,6 and Marcus M.6 Mrs. Katie Nichols had a child by her first husband, Mary Bartoss, who was brought up with the Nichols children. The three sets of children got along well. Both parents did their duty. Mary Bartoss married Julius Ukested. She died young, leaving two small sons, Marcus and David V. Mrs. Katie Nichols had been reared a Catholic, but as a young girl she became an ardent Protestant. So earnest was she that she converted nearly everyone of her father's large family to her faith. Tine himself was a man of deep religious convictions. His whole life was a model one. In the

COLONEL VALE~TINE D. ~ICHOLS family he was known as "Tine the Good." He could not tell a lie. In the Civil \:Var he ran away from home to be a soldier. But when the recruiting officer asked him his age, he sturdily insisted, as the question was asked over and over, "I am not quite seventeen." The officer said, "\Ye'll take him for his pluck." He was soon made corporal, although only a stripling of a lad. Twice he was cited for special bravery, and was offered a lieutenancy, which he refused because of his youth and lack of experience. He belonged to the 23rd Indiana Battery of Heavy Artillery, and followed Sherman in his march to the sea. He was a cultured, scholarly man that everybody liked. Orthodox in his views, but a deep and advanced thinker nevertheless. He was such a fine looking man that an artist asked the privilege of making a picture of him as the type of an American patriot and citizen. The artist thought he markedly resembled General Grant. We think he looked much like General George Fundsberg of nearly 400 years before. He loved horticulture and was a model farmer. He was Commander of the Alexandria (Minn.) Post, and Colonel of the Veteran's Legion of California.

Harold Nelson Nichols,6 (Valentine,5 Kazia Waltman-Nichols,4 Valen 1 tine Waltman,3 Andrew,2 Conrad ) was born September 20, 1869. He is :i. railroad engineer. He married when over fifty, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he lives, Mrs. Margaret----, a widow with five children. This has been a fortunate marriage. Margaret is a true home-maker and always cheer£ul, and Harry cares for the children as though they were his own. Hubert B. D. Nichols.6 (Valentine,5 Kezia,4 Valentine,3 Andrew,2 Con 1 rad. ) Born in Brandon, Minnesota, October 21, 1 8 71. He is a successful business man of Ypsilanti, North Dakota. Herbert did not marry until he was forty. Alice, his wife, died less than five years after their man-iage, leaving a son, Marcus.' His father has always kept the child with him. Rosemond Nichols, 6 born August 16, 1 8 7 5. Lucian Martin Nichols,6 born September 4, 1877. He lives mostly with Mrs. Katie Nichols. He is a quiet, indusrrious man that was cut out for a bachelor.

The second wife's children are these: Ethel Nichols.6 Born August 28, 1879. She married first, Theodore Thorson. Her present husband is Elmer Riley. They live at \:Vatsonville, Calif. Ethel is a very attractive woman of sound judgment and generous heart. She has no children. Benjamin Nichols,6 born December 14, 1880, in Brandon, Minnesota. \\Then his father moved to California, he remained on his father's old farm for some years. Then he took up railroading and was a conductor for a Jong time. In 1904 he married Orella (Tillie) Borgrud, who died in May, 1910. Muriel La Verna Nichols/ born July 24, 1905. Benjamin Franklin Nichols, Jr.,7 born lVIay 1, 1907. After a widowership of thirteen years, Benjamin married Ruth J. Holt, born December 6, 1901. 1 39

Lyle Holt Nichols, born March 30, 1924, at Great Falls, Montana. Benjamin Nichols, in 1916, homesteaded at Square Butte, Montana. His daughter, Muriel, is a teacher in Montana. Benjamin, Jr., joined the U. S. Army in 1927 and in 1928 was stationed in the Philippine Islands. Lora Kezia Nichols, born April 12, 1885. She is usually called Kezzie. Her grandmother, Kezia (\Valtman) Nichols always protested so vigorously against her children naming for her, that Valentine Nichols alone dared to do it. It was well that this daughter should have been named after her beau tiful grandmother, for she inherited her comeliness. She married young and has had a large family. She would pass as a sister of her own children today. Like her parents, she is of a deeply religious turn. Lora Kezia Nichols6 was married to James H. Duncan September 2, 1905. He was born December 31, 1878. They live in San Jose, Cal. Jessie Valentine Duncan,' born July 24, 1906. Lora Eloise Duncan,' born September 1 0, 1908. Marcus Edward Duncan,' born May 12, 1910.

Margery Ruth Duncan,6 born February 7, 1922. 6 5 4 3 2 1 Marcus M. Nichols (Valentine, Kezia, Valentine, Andrew, Conrad. ) Was born November 25, 1887. He was the youngest of the grandchildren of Nelson and Kezia Nichols. He is a fine young man and has a good head for business. He lives near Square Butte, l\1ontana, and carries on a big ranch, raising thousands of bushels of grain and plenty of live stock. He married Anna Bertha Hoge June 20, 1912. Marcus was named for his Aunt Lora's husband, Marcus La Mance. Albertine Virginia Nichols,' born January 29, 1914. Marcus Vernon Nichols,7 born July 16, 1915. Nathalie Anna Nichols,7 born January 22, 1918. Katherine Esther Nichols,7 born August 26, 1920. Harry Valentine Nichols,7 born July 28, 1922. They are a strong, robust set of children. Mountain air agrees with them.

LINE OF JOHN JOEL NICHOLS

"Run v.:ith patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith."-H ebrev.:s, xii, 2

4 1 JOHN JOEL NICHOLS,5 (Kezia, Valentine,3 Andrew,2 Conrad. ) Was born September 13, 1848. He died in January, 1918. \Ve quote .largely from his biography published in 1 904. "John J. Nichols was the jolliest boy alive, laughing, joking, singing from morning until night. He entered the Civil War at seventeen and served until its close in 1865. In 1866, when but eighteen, he went to central Minnesota. His romantic disposition took him to Fort Abercrombie in the heart of the Sioux Indian reservation, where he lived with the Indians for some time, learning their language, and having an Indian name bestowed upon him by the red men who always liked him. He learned much of their wood and prairie craft. "At twenty he returned to Brandon, Minn., and married Josephine Pelis sier, the daughter of a Frenchman, a typical pioneer, and his wife, Samantha. Josephine was but sixteen, a large, strong woman of magnificent physique. In frontier parlance she was 'as smart as a steel trap,' could turn her hand to anything, and do anything and everything. Six children were born to them. Her children remember gratefully that in the dark days of financial reverses and trouble, how bravely and with what fortitude she met these conditions. "After a time John moved his family into virgin territory near James town, North Dakota. For years he traveled over a wide, unsettled region, ready to guide hunting parties. His Indian training had developed almost a sixth sense, a marvelous memory of location. He could not be lost. No other man ever knew North Dakota as he did. "He had a hundred adventures. He had a score of narrow escapes from drownings, stampedes of buffalo and terrific blizzards. Several times he was reported killed and scalped. He drove his faithful grays 12,500 miles a year, or as he said, 'Put a belt around the earth every two years.' He was not at all of the cowboy type, but a courteous gentleman always. "Business reverses swept everything away from easy, trusting John. Trouble and death came into the family. He married again, this time to Jeannette Emond and made his new home in San Jose, California, where he died. No children of this second marriage grew up. She died in 1926." Clara Evelyn Nichols6 was married in her teens to Harry Williams. She was left a widow with three daughters. She died while still a young woman, following an operation. Harriet Williams. 7 Dolores Williams.7 Winifred Williams.7 George Nichols6 was killed by a kick f~om a horse before he was twenty. Emma Nichols6 married her distant cousin, Merritt Pierce, of Wolcott ville, Indiana. She was a grand, good woman. She died March, 1925. Marjorie Pierce,7 a teacher and now a business woman in Medora, N. D. On the Pierce side she had two ancestors in the Revolutionary \Var, Samuel Pierce Senior and Samuel Pierce Junior. (Samuel,1 Samuel,2 San 5 7 ford,3 Ebenezer,4 Clark E., Merritt,6 Marjorie. ) She is a beautiful and attractive young woman, and was devoted to her mother. Fanny Lora Nichols,6 died at 17, suddenly. Nelson Nichols,6 a coal mine operator in Medora, North Dakota. At nineteen he married Bertha Lebo. He has many of his father's traits. Elizabeth Irene Nichols,7 "Bess," who is married to \Valter Ray. Kathleen Elizabeth Ray.8 James Nichols Ray.8 Antoine Peter Nichols,6 always called Tone or Tony Nichols. He was born under a lucky star. He can make money as easily as other men can say the multiplication table. He is always smiling, pleasant, and as lavishly generous as his father before him. During his father's long, last illness Tony had doctors, trained nurses and every easement that money could buy for him. He had a touch of the wanderlust that was his inheritance also. He en listed in the navy and had the good luck to be on Admiral Dewey's flag ship. In three years he circled the globe, and was with Dewey on that historic day when Manila was taken in the Spanish-American \Var, 1898. As a memento of it he has the gigantic Spanish keys of Cavite, the fortress that fell into their hands at Manila Bay. He was one of the men who were thanked at Washington, and one of those on whom President McKinley pinned the special medal in commemoration of that great victory. He was the man who invented the "knobs" on automobile tires to prevent skidding. He has made a fortune in his San Francisco place of business in automobile fittings and accessories of every kind, "from a tap to an auto coat and goggles." He married Bessie Merigan. No children.

NELSON P. NICHOLS LINE OF NANCY T. NICHOLS TUCK-TAYLOR

"Be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable." -Titus, iii, 8

NANCY (NANNIE) THERESA NICHOLS,5 (Kezia,4 Valentine,3 2 1 Andrew, Conrad. ) Was born December 14, 1 8 5 0, and was burned to death April 6, 191 7, the day that the United States entered into the World's War. Just previously she had written to her two grandsons reminding them that in every righteous war her people's men had always borne arms for their country. She urged them if war came to do their duty. Her tragic death emphasized her loving request, and the only son of each daughter offered himself as a volunteer in the earliest days of the war. Nannie was always called the most beautiful woman of Wolcottville, Ind., the town where she was born, always lived and where she sleeps await ing the Resurrection Morn. She was a great belle. She was brilliant, witty, boiling over with life and vitality. Her first husband was James Tuck whom she married at eighteen. Mr. Tuck had received severe injuries in the Civil War that gradually broke down his health. He was a druggist, "but not a whisky druggist," as he prided himself. He was doing a flourishing busi-

MRS. ~ANCY T. TUCK-TAYLOR ness when a partner bankrupted him. Nannie came to the sick man's rescue-, made arrangements with the creditors and paid every penny of those unjust debts. She took a course in pharmacy, but branched out into new lines, deal ing not only in drugs but c;arrying cut flowers, jewelry, wall paper, an ice cream parlor and a gift shop. The business prospered. But with all of her cares she never let her church work flag. She taught one Sunday school class nearly forty years, taking them as little boys and holding them until they were heads of families. Every pupil she had be came a Christian. \Vhen one of her class got to drinking, she lovingly clung to him, and by her sheer force of character helped him on his feet again. She was president of an active \V. C. T. U. and a Rebekah and an Eastern Star, of which she was a \Vorthy Matron. No ritual was so long but what she could impressively repeat it word for word, never needing to look at the book. With it all she had the kindest of hearts. She said once that in all of her life she never pulled a sister woman down, never repeated a scandal or said mean, unfounded things about other people. James Tuck died June 16, 1909. On November 1 0, 1914, she married H. L. Taylor, a life-long friend. He said their three and a half years of marriage was one long day of sunshine to him. James Tuck, the father of her two daughters, had this lineage: TUCK. William the Conqueror defeated Harold at the Battle of Hast ings, October 14, 1066. The next year he built the Battle Abbey to com memorate this event. On the walls was hu~1g a roll with the names of the Norman nobles who fought with him that day. Sire (a leader or Com mander) de Touque was ~e. The name becam"e Took, Tuke, Touk, Tewk, and Tuck. The first American Tuck was Doctor Robert Tuck,1 "Chirurgeon," ( sur geon), of Gorlston, Suffolk, England, who was born about 1590, and came to America in 1636. He married Joanna. Four children. They settled in 1638 at Hampton, N. H. He was the first doctor there, was "vintner," selling wine and liquor, kept a tavern, and was selectman and town clerk. Dr. Robert died 1664, his wife in 1674. His youngest son, Edward,2 born 1622, died in 1654. He married l\!lary Philbrick. He left two sons, one born after his death. This was Deacon John Tuck3 who lived to be ninety. He was a farmer, miller, carpenter, selectman, town clerk and a deacon twenty-one years. Highly respected, but amusingly eccentric. He married Bethia Hobbs. Deacon Jonathan Tuck4 came next, 1697-1781. He was five times a representative, a selectman and a deacon for 39 years. He was as eccentric as his father and then some. He was a miller. The mill was 2,½ miles away. In Dow's History of Hampton he is said to have had a white horse which he loaded up as a pack horse with sacks of grain and corn. He carried these sacks back and forth gratuitously. But when he had one of his "Tuck spells" on he would not notice anyone or speak to anyone as he passed by. He was absolutely oblivious of everybody and everything in one of these spells. Women wishing to send their grain to mill, would go to their doors 1 44 and watch his approach. They could tell by his looks if he had a "Tuck spell" on or not. If he had, they shut their doors and waited until the next day. He married Tabitha Towle, and every other one in Hampton was a Towle! Tabitha's grandfather, Philip Towle, L616-1696, was one time fined in Hampton ten shillings ($2.50) for "taking tobacco near ye meeting house in ye face of ye court." One of his sons was killed by the Indians. His son Benjamin was Tabitha's father. He had so many boys that the Hampton wags made up this song about them. "Philly, Caley, Andy, Zack, 'Thias, Jerry, Frank and Nat, And long Leg-ged Sam! " Deacon John Tuck" came next. It ran in the family to be deacons. 1721-1792. He married Sarah Godfrey. Three sons were in the Revolu tionary \Var. James Tuck,6 the first James Tuck in over 200 years, 1754-1812, was in the war seven months in 1775 and four months in 1776. The father, John Tuck,5 served on the Committee of Safety in 1776 and signed all reports, so he counts also as a patriot. James married Deborah Moulton, and the Moul tons were another tremendously big family. (John,1 Henry,2 Josiah,3 Wil 6 liam,4 Elisha,5 Deborah Moulton. ) She was the fourth Moulton girl to marry a Tuck. Shubal Tuck,7 the next in line, went to Ohio and Indiana. His son was the James Tuck8 that married Nannie Nichols. "Jim" was jolly, full of fun, as eccentric as those before him, but immensely popular, nevertheless. At the big G. A. R. gatherings it was a feature to call for a song by Comrade Tuck. He could not carry a tune to save his life, but he could bellow worse than the bulls of Bashan. He made the very dishes rattle on the shelves, as he roared out the Tuck ditty, that set everybody off into gales of laughter, "Oh, stand me on my ear While I peel a bag of 'taters! "

or the Scotch song, "Green grows the rushes, 0." He roared as he looked after his bees, his hobby of hobbies; he roared as he made his famous oyster stew; he roared in his drug-store as he put up medicines. About the only time he did not roar was when he went to church. Sundays at home he roared until the rafters shook, "When I can read my title clear," a.µd he felt very religious while doing it. He wanted all of his men friends to belong to the G. A. R. and every body also to join the Baptist Church! He cultivated no man's friendship unless he belonged to the Masonic order. What he liked, he liked. '\iVhat he hated, he hated. Marie Lora Tuck,6 who has been married twice. Her first husband was Riley Baird of Oklahoma. 145

Donald Keith Baird.7 A soldier in the World's War. Her second husband is Kenner Rice Cobine, a wealthy manufacturer and General Manager of the Hopper Paper Company. They are living in 1928 in Taylorville, Illinois. Marie Cobine is a strikingly prepossessing woman, very patriotic, does much for charity and honors her parents' memory by sending at Easter time to the Wolcottville church where they worshiped potted lilies that completely fill the chancel. Grace Tuck6 married Charles Ile:ff of Gary, Indiana. The Ile:ffs are an old family of English extraction. Their coat-of-arms show a lion rampant between three crosses pattee, or, ( of gold.) The motto is "Vivie ut vivas." They have two children, Gerald and Winnifred. Their parents are justly proud of them. Both of them have always made the very highest possible grades in their schools. Gerald Ile:ff6 volunteered for the World's War in May, 1917. He went over to France, where he was made a Top Sergeant, and where he was given a lieutenant's full responsibilities. The title could not be given to him be cause he was but nineteen, too young to be commissioned. He was the youngest Top Sergeant in the whole Allied Army. August 4, 1918, he re ceived a terrific wound. A shrapnel shot tore away all of the :flesh from one hip and broke the bone. The agony was terrible. Only one man in 500 ever survive a wound like that. He saw he was bleeding to death. He crawled three-fourths of a mile, desperately wounded as he was, until the stretcher boys could reach him, and carry him to the field hospital. He came home after the Armistice, was in the hospital for a long time, but recovered and is now with his aunt's husband in the manufacture of paper, in Taylorsville, Ill. Winnifred Ile:ff6 is a trained nurse, an honor graduate, one of the ten to take the ·highest honors in the whole state. The sanitary conditions of the Gary, Indiana, school where she was in charge of school nursing was rated as the very best one in the U. S. She takes a great pride in her profession. On her 23rd birthday, June 26, 1926, she was married to Louis Matin Harri son of the well-known southern family of Roanoke, Va. They live in Gary, Indiana. LINE OF LORA S. NICHOLS-LA I\1ANCE

"I hai:e learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me." Genesis, xxx, 27

4 3 1 LORA S. NICHOLS, (Kezia, Vale;1tine, Andrew,2 Conrad. ) She was born April 2, 1 8 5 7, the very youngest of her entire generation on her father's side, the youngest but for two others, of the entire generation on her mother's side. Her own grandfather, David Nichols, by a most unusual stretch of generations, was ninety-five years older than she. Her other grandfather, Valentine \Valtman the Younger, was her senior by sixty-seven years. She had three grown-up brothers and sisters when she was born. She is the author of this book. Lora was educated as were all of her brothers and sisters in the Wolcott ville schools and in Miss Susan Grigg's Academy, in that same town, that for more than a quarter of a century was one of the most famous schools in all northern Indiana. She had the honor the year she was sixteen, that for the whole of the scholastic year she was graded 100 (perfect) in every study she had. The only student of that institution that ever had that rating. She was preparing for college when her health failed her, but she has ever been a hard student. She was married April 14, 1880, to Marcus N. La Mance, of Pineville, Missouri, and all of their married life was spent there. At the time of her marriage a close friend of her husband's said to her, "Take it in any way and every way, you have made the finest choice of a husband in this whole county. There is not another young man that can measure up to him." He was a prominent man. Everybody in Southwest lvlissouri knew him, respected him and liked him. He belonged to a high-class Southern family. He had a high sense of honor and justice. He was born October 16, 1844, so that he was in his thirty-sixth year when he married. To this marriage was born a daughter, Lora Lee.6 There were three women that he always thought were exactly right and that could do no wrong. One was his mother, one his wife and the other his daughter. The La Mance home was the parents' home as well. For years the three old people, Kezia Nichols, the wife's mother, and l\1r. and Mrs. J. P. La Mance, the husband's parents, all lived with them until one by one death claimed them. For five years lvlr. La Mance's nephew lived with them as their own son, and for more than two years the sister, Mrs. Attie Stowe, had her home with them. And there was never a ripple of dissension in all of that time! This, notwithstanding that Lora's people were soldiers on the Federal side, while Marcus La Mance's people were of Southern stock, slaveholders, and, in the Civil \Var, J. P. La Mance, the father, was a Lieutenant in the Confederate army, serving under Captain Hugh Ti1man and General Stand Watie, in the 2nd Cherokee Regiment. Marcus himself served in General Parsons' Division, in Company H of the 8th l\1issouri Infantry. The La MRS. LORA S. L\ MANCE IN 1902

Mances came from Huguenot stock. In 1571, in the terrible St. Bartholo mew Massacre they fled for their lives to Switzerland. In 1746, John Louis La Mance came to Pennsylvania. His son served in the Revolutionary \Var, as did five other ancestors on Marcus La Mance's paternal and maternal sides. 3 4 The next La Mance, Jacob,2 died at sea; then James P. ; then Marcus N. On his mother's side came the Scotch-Irish Craighead and Caldwell blood. The last years of Marcus La Mance's life he suffered from an incurable disease. He died June 4, 1906, and was buried in the Pineville cemetery. Mr. La Mance had Scotch-Irish convictions and c;ourage. Their county in those old wet days was counted the second wettest county in the state. Lora became the local and the county president of the W. C. T. U. and put on a hot campaign that finally took the county dry by local option. Marcus La Mance backed her in all that she did and went with her in a canvass to every township in the county. He backed her as well in her suffrage work, that was once exceedingly unpopular in that section. They had the satisfaction to know that they completely changed public sentiment in the county. Mrs. La Mance's hobby of hobbies was her flowers. She was editor for years of Floral Life and also of the Mayfio·wer. She wrote much in those days, and expected to push her literary work. She wrote a novel, and also a family history of her father's people, many historical sketches and a series of floral booklets. But when her husband died, the W. C. T. U. insisted that she turn all of her ~nergies into temperance c,tiannels. It seemed the call of duty. For years she has been a National Organizer and Lecturer of the W. C. T. U. She is also a member of the International Woman Preachers' Association, and preaches as well as lectures. With but one exception she has travelep farther than any other woman speaker in the world. In 21 years she has traveled over a half a million miles, spoken in every state and in every Canadian province but two, and has visited over fifty other countries in Europe, Great Britain, Asia and Africa, including Egypt and the Holy Land. She has been in 145 local option, state wide and national campaigns to banish liquor, and won in all but four-in- other words, she won a little over nineteen out of every twenty. She was the one chosen to go to Alaska, where she traveled 13,000 miles and put in the farthest north English speaking temperance society; it was less than 15 0 miles from the Arctic Circle. She was sent ten times to Canada. She has spoken from whisky barrels, in front of saloons, in cp.urches, courthouses, picture shows, air domes, on ship, from the back of railroad engines, in factories, fire barns, capitol buildings, and in parks and on the street. She has given over 12,500 lectures and sermons. The three most unique compliment~ -she. has ever received are these. When she spoke in Toronto, Canada,

Lora L. La Mance,6 born Janu ary 2 7, 1 8 81, was a student at Drury College, Springfield, Mo. She was married on her parents' 22nd wed ding anniversary to Joseph C. Wat kins, a college graduate and a civil engineer, a member of the South ern Watkins family. He had a clear descent from James Watkins who came to Jamest own, Virginia, in 1608, in the days of Captain John Smith of Pocahontas fame. His father was for twenty-three years over the schools of Ennis, Texas, and his mother wrote a book on pianoforte playing. A finer man, a better man never lived. In the \Vorld's War he was Major. He died September 9, 1926. To Joseph and Lora L. Watkins was born one daughter, Loralee, a graduate of Wesleyan College, Georgia. She was married September 8, 1926, to Robert L. Johnson of Lake Wales, Florida. They have a daughter, Betty Jo, born on November 30, 1927. Loralee lives in a pretty LORA LEE WATKINS, 1902 home next to that of her mother.

"Thy lo'i.:e and faith 'c;.:hich thou hast to,z;:ard the Lord Jesus."-Philenion, 5

MARGARET \V ALTMAN4 was born in Huntington, Luzerne County, Pa., April 13, 1821. She was in her twelfth year when in September, 1832, her parents moved to the \Vestern Reserve, in Medina County, Ohio, and settled at Sharon Center, hard by a beautiful clear spring that came gushing out of the ground. Shewasmarriedatthishome lv1arch 29, 1840,a bride of 19. Her husband was Joseph Potter Brittain, who also was born in Luzerne County, Pa. The Brittains traced their descent back to a nobleman who came over with William the Conqueror in 1066, and who was given an estate whereon he built Brittain Hall, from which the family took their name. The first American ancestor was a James Britton1 who at 27 came over in the ship Increase in 1637, and lived in \Voburn, Mass. He married Jane--- He died in 165 5. His son \Villiam2 married Marv Pendleton in R. I. Their son, also a William,3 married Lydia Leonard in T~unton, Mass. He died in 1732, but she lived to be 94. It is supposed to be their son, the third \Vil liam, but now of New York, who married Mary Collins. Their son, Joseph, 4 was the one who came to Luzerne County, Pa., some time after the Revolu tionary \.Var. His wife was a Miss \Vhite. Here he raised a family, of whom one son, Zebulon,5 married Experience Potter. They were always known as Zeb and Speedy, and it was their son Joseph Potter Brittain6 who married his old Pennsylvania playmate in Ohio. A sister-in-law of Joseph P. Brittain said he was a man who idolized his family. She said she did not believe that he ever spoke a sharp word to his wife in his life, and he was the most indulgent of fathers. When his first born child was five, he moved with his wife and three children, all but babies, to northern Indiana, where his wife's sister, Kezia \Valtman Nichols, lived. Little Ferris mourned for a little ax he had left in Ohio. In mid summer Joseph went back to harvest his wheat crop, found the boy's ax and brought it back with him, carrying it all of the way in his hand to please the little fellow. The nearest post office was 40 miles away. He received no letter. \Vhen he came back, he found little Ferris was dead. He so grieved over the loss of the child, that they had to move back to Sharon Center, Ohio, to break his deep melancholy. All of their children were born at this place, and in the quiet cemetery of Sharon Center, where so many of BRITTAIN COAT OF ARMS their kindred sleep, rests all that is mortal of Joseph and his wife. 150

Margaret was a home-loving woman. The last nine years of her life she was an invalid. So affectionate was their family life that her married daughter Achsa used to come over every day to cheer her mother up; and when her son Perry found that his mother liked his cooking better than any one else's, with his father's full consent, he gave up his work on the farm to keep his mother's house and cook for her. Say, he was some cook! They were the parents of eight children, five of whom lived to marry. FERRIS \VALTER BRITTAIN.5 Born January 10, 18+1. Died in 1846.

She hath done what she could

REBECCA \;\/ALTMAN,4 the youngest child of Valentine and Achsa Waltman, was born in Wilkesbarre, Pa., January 25, 1823. She died at the home of her daughter, Rowena Newton, September 10, 1902, in Medina, Ohio. She was less than ten years old when the Waltmans moved to Ohio. She received an academic education and became a teacher. On a visit to her sister in Wolcottville, Indiana, she met and married a Mr. Greenman. He lived only about two years. The young widow returned to Ohio, and in March, 1849, she married George 1\.1orris, a substantial citizen of Medina County. To them were born four children of whom their parents had a right to feel proud. George 1\.1orris died in the fall of 18 7 3. He was descended from Captain Richard Morris, in Cromwell's army. It has been claimed that the four handsomest men in the Revolutionary Army were all l\t1orris; from this same Captain Morris line. Rebecca Morris was one of the charter members of the Methodist church in Sharon. She never had an enemy. She was gentle, womanly, gracious always, with a placid temperament that was never ruffled or fretted. Her sister Kezia summed it up in this way: "If I had a chance to make Rebecca over, I do not know a thing that I could add that could improve her; I do not know of a single characteristic that I would wish she was without, or had in less measure. She is as near perfect as it is given to a mortal to be. She is a friend to everyone, and everyone loves her." Like her two sisters, her ambition was to make her home attractive to her family. Good cooking, careful housewifery, plenty of books and music, flowers and pleasant com panionship made that home a paradise to her children as they looked back upon it. LAURAETTE MORRIS5 was born 1850. She married William Sedg wick of Weymouth,-Ohio. She was the mother of two children, Frank6 and Edith.6 She was at her mother's home on the occasion of the double wed ding of her two sisters, Alice and Rowena. One-half hour before the wed ding ceremony Edith was born. The happy grandmother remarked that it was not every woman that had the experience of having an addition of two sons (in-law) and a granddaughter within a single hour and in the same house! Lauraette died with that dread disease, tuberculosis. Frank Sedgwick,6 when he grew up, married May Newton, sister to his Aunt Rowena's husband. Both families had children, but no one has been able yet to figure out exactly their relationship. Frank and his wife attended the same medical school, graduated at the same time and are practicing their profession together. Their children have not been given but there are several. Edith Sedgwick6 was born in 18 7 5. She married a Mr. White. ALICE 1VIORRIS5 was born in 1853. . YL·V· Someone said once of her looks, "She has ~~ the profile of a Grecian goddess." She W,1,,1 taught school not as a necessity but as a real "\ ,,,-' ,. .,. joy. There was a double wedding when she married Herbert Knox and Rowena married James Newton. Herbert was a choice spirit. He was one of the trusted executive officers who erected bridges for the King Iron Bridge Company all over the United States. He died of tuberculosis, putting up such a determined fight for his life that he kept up until the very last. Some years later his lonely widow married again. Her last husband was Jay MORRIS COAT OF ARMS J. Jewett of Halstead, Kansas. He had a son Harry by his first wife. After a few happy years she was again left a widow, and has since lived in her own apartments in the house of her sister, Mrs. James Newton.

ROWENA MORRIS5 was born November 3, 1854. She resembles her mother in her serene, gracious disposition. She was married in 187 5, the same day as her sister Alice, by a double ceremony. Rowena's husband was James Newton, and he always was one of the salt of the earth. He has . 1 . r" 11 1 1 1 • l""J'"'l1 t • " 1\.

D. 53, only a genera tion after Christ. Prof. Totten, both a fine historical student and a Bible commentator, says the early records show that Paul sent his disciple Aristo bolus,-mentioned in Paul's epistles-to Britain A. D. 44. He won to the Christian faith King Caradoc, his father Bran, and two of Caradoc's children, Linus, ( 11 Tim. iv, 21 ), the first Bishop of Rome, and Gladys. The Roman emperor deposed the British king, and Caradoc, Linus and Gladys were taken as hostages to Rome in care of Senator Rufus Pudens, son of Pudentius of high rank. The Emperor Claudius changed Gladys' name to Claudia. She was very beautiful and popular, and many poems were written in her honor. Rufus Prudens (Pudens) married her. The poet Martial sang:

"Oh! Rufus, my friend Pudens, marries the foreigner Claudia. Oh! Hymen! be propitious with thy nuptial torch!"

"Our Claudia, named Rufina, sprang we know, F'rom blue-eyed Britons; yet, beloved, she vies In grace with all that Greece or Rome can show, As born and bred beneath their gloomy skies." -MARTIAL I 54

Paul refers to them in II Timothy 1v, 21, also to Rufus Pudens in Romans, xvi, 13. \Vhen he was martyred he was buried in the Pudens cemetery. The early church met in Rome in Pudens' house, and all four of the Pudens' sons and daughters suffered martyrdom. That is good blood to go back to. One of the Newtons distinguished himself in the Third Crusade under Richard Coeur de Lion against the Saracens at the Battle of Escalon in 1192. Another, Sir John Newton, was sword bearer to Richard I of England. John Newton was the first to come to America. It is recorded of his grand daughter that she was the mother of 22 children. If the rest were half as prolific it accounts for the many Newtons in the United States. The seat of the family was at Carlton Manor, England. Minnie Newton6 is a bachelor girl and has a fine position in Chicago. Herbert C. Newton6 married Katherine Blumenstine August 31, 1918, but died within 4 months in that terrible after-the-war-influenza epidemic of 191 9, on December 19th. Alice Newton6 married vValter \Vetzel and lives in Utah where her husband is a contractor on a large scale. Alice \Vetzel. 7 Nevin \Vetzel.7 Ruth \Vetzel,7 born 1918. Ernest N cwton,6 lives in Pittsburgh. He is a civil engineer and manager of the Structural Steel Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. Like the other sons of this Morris family he does big things on a big scale. His wife was Cornelia E. Spitzer and they have two daughters, one of whom is named Rowena after her grandmother. She is a college graduate. The other one is Evelyn S. who graduates in 1928. Rowena Bess Newton6 married \Valter Bivens who died after 1922. No children. She married (2) Zed E. Davis. She lives in Medina, Ohio.

VALENTINE -:MORRIS.5 The youngest of the family. Handsome, brilliant, energetic, successful beyond his wildest dreams, he passed away at the age of 50, on July 1 O, 1902, two months before his mother's death. She said, "I will soon be with him." He was connected with the King Iron Bridge Company and traveled all over the North American continent putting up some of the finest bridges in the whole world. He married Mattie----. They had three children, Valentine,6 a girl, usually called Vallie to rhyme with Ollie. She married Howard :Mans field and lives in Cleveland, Ohio. And these sons: Henry Clay Morris,6 now living in California, and David V. l\ilorris,6 now living in Cleveland. I .)"" .J,

The family of Adam W altman,3 the second son of Andrew \Valtman,2 also went to the Western Reserve in Medina County, Ohio, in 1831, when four of the sons and daughters of Andrew Waltman, after their mother's death, ( their father had died two years previous), went to this new land. Adam was born February 9, 1794, and died June 6, 1849, aged 55. In 1819, a young man of 25, he married Judith (Judy) Harp. Aunt Judy was quite a personage among her Ohio kin folks. She was born September 30, 1800, and died January 28, 1882. She was the daughter of Isaiah Harp and the granddaughter of John Harp who bought land in Pennsylvania in 1734. They were married in June, 1819, and were the parents of nineteen children. Aunt Judy was immensely proud of her large family and did not thank anyone to pity her. She claimed to have the handsomest family in the county. Her youngest boy, Frances Marion, was only three years old when his father died. But Judy was a good manager. She had her own butter, milk and eggs, and raised a good garden, her wheat, her oats, her corn and potatoes. She spun her own flax and wool, raised her own meat, and suffered not for anything to eat or to wear. CATHERINE WALTMAN.4 Born March 29, 1820. Died the next year,June 1, 1821.

Before that her home had been in Philadelphia. Her husband was Julius Vv olcott. She was an extraordinary beauty. At fifty she could have passed for a girl of twenty. She Irked good clothes and plenty of them. In 18 5 5, when the Empress Eugenia of France had brought out crinoline or "hoops" of such an exagger ated size that a lady wearing them had to tilt her skirts and go side ways through an ordinary door, -when it took courage to appear wearing them - she trigged a daughter out in full crinoline, with a silk and lace dress over it, and sent her to church. Staid old Philadelphia gasped! The church authorities had the young lady arrested for appearing in church in an "indecent dress." Katherine Vv olcott died in Lansing, Mich.,:about 1860. Her dates have not beeh preserved, but she appears to have been the second child of Andrew :i.nd Anna Maria Margretta (Zarfess) \Valtman.

CHAPTER XXV

CONTINUATION OF LINE OF ANDREW WALTMAN,2 SON OF CONRAD1

DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM3 AND ANDREW "\VALTMAN,3 SONS OF ANDREW SENIOR

"A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees." Psalms, ixxiv, 5

THE TRIBE OF ABRAHAM RAHAM WAL TMAN 3 was the third son and the sixth child of Andrew and Annie Maria Margretta (Zarfess) "\Valtman. It is well known that he was his mother's favorite son. She was not afraid to say so. He was named for her brother, Abraham Zarfess, which may have accounted for it. He was a good German scholar. His older brother Valentine the Younger and he were the only ones in this family that took to German scholarship, and that, too, pleased fastidious Anna Maria Margretta. So she calmly handed over to him in 1822, when he was twenty-one, the old treasured Bible that was supposed to go down through the line of the oldest son. She was used to having her own way, and she had it this time. Her excuse was that he read it the best of all, better even than Valentine, the oldest son. Abraham was born in 1 801. He died December 31, 18 63. When he was a young man grown, Bradford County was just opening up to settlement. In 1819, the youthful Abra ham went out there, helping build the turnpike road that was to open up that region. The Millers, his father's own cousins, had gone into the wilderness and were carving out farms, building them selves warm log houses and cutting down trees that they might have :fields to till. Na turally young Abraham came often to his kin people. Na turally enough he fell in love with his second cousin, Roxana Miller, whom he married in 1822-23. Josh Billings said the strength of love is shone when a young man of twenty- AUTOGRAPH OF ABRAHAM WALTMAN, 1822 one, without a dollar, marries a girl of eighteen without a cent, and the two go to housekeeping and raise a family of their own. Plenty of hardships were ahead of this pioneer couple. In the years to come the burden of these hardships fell heavily upon Roxana. Poor Roxana! Brave Roxana! Resourceful and hard-work ing Roxana! -that did a man's part and a woman's part, was a father and mother both to her children, brought them up in her own strong religious faith and never gave up in despair. This was her pedigree, a notable one in its way. There was good, sen sible blood on both sides, paternal and maternal.· From her mother's side came extraordinary strength, a gift of nature that she was to sorely tax.

DANIEL MILLER SECTION

"Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings. He shall not stand before mean men."-Pro'i.J., xxii, 29

In the Allied Families section, the House of Miller is taken up and need not be repeated here, further than to say that Roxana came from the John and Dorothy Miller who came from Germany in 1683 to Pennsylvania that they might have the religious freedom that was forbidden to them in their own land. Through their son Albrecht2 and his wife Christina Schaffer, on through Adam Miller3 who married Anna Maria Bierly, a sister of Con rad \Valtman's wife, then Jacob Senior/ the Revolutionary sol dier, and on to his son Daniel,5 then Roxana. Daniel Miller5 was an out standing man in that early day. He was called the "Honest Mil ler," and deserved the title. Daniel Miller went to Ladds burg, in Bradford County, when the Indian was more numerous than the white man, and the wolf and the bear, the wild cat and the panther had to be reckoned with. He was resourceful, energtic, far-seeing, and withal a religious and progressive man, the best possible type of a pioneer whose first mission is to subdue the wilderness and make it fit for the habitation of man. He married Hannah Fowler. MRS. ROXANA WALTMAN, A REAL HEROINE 162

THE FO\VLER FAMILY

The Fowlers came earlv to Connecticut and settled almost on the border of the state of New York: Quiet, God-fearing, mind-their-own-business men and women. After a century or so came a son of the line, famous in his day all over New England, New York and Pennsylvania. His fame even reached England. He was of giant frame. Some say he was over seven feet in height, which statement ought to be taken with a grain of salt. He was so muscular that without being fat he weighed 25 0 pounds. He was named Jonathan Fowler, and he was a second Goliath. He could crack a shell-bark hickory-nut between his teeth. He could bite a 6-penny nail in two with those same hard white teeth; he could bend a silver dollar in those magician fingers of his, and pick up a 40-gallon barrel full of cider, lifting it by the chimes, bring it up over his head and drink out of the bung-hole! One time he was out in the woods without gun or knife. A bear attacked him. He choked the bear to death! King George the Third had come to the throne. He was so delighted at such a feat of strength that he had a special medal struck and sent it to Jonathan Fowler, "the giant of America, who with his own hands killed a bear." That medal is still treasured in the family. Little did King George foresee that in a few more years that very Jonathan Fowler would be in a revolution against this same George the Third that gave him this medal. For Jonathan Fowler, the giant, served in the Revolutionary War. About

Some of the family believe that Mary Chapman's father was related to John Chapman, the queer, eccentric, well-known border hero that was known far and near as "Appleseed Johnny." The Indians might be on the warpath, but not one of them would touch or harm him. They thought that the great spirit had touched him, because of his strange ways, and not one of them would harm him. When the autumn came, Johnny Appleseed would go around to the New York and Pennsylvania cider presses, load up gunny-sacks with the apple seeds he found there, load the sacks on his horse's back and away he would go, walking hundreds of miles. Over in Ohio, or in eastern Indiana, he would go, living on the squirrels or game he could kill, or sharing the hos pitality of the Indians who liked him, yet stood in awe of him. \Vhen he came to some rich glade in the forest he cleared the land of brush, dug up the fertile soil, and planted his precious apple seeds in long furrows. The next time he came by he would thin out the seedlings and pull out the weeds. It is an actual fact that some of the fruit of these seedling apples was fine to very fine. The Indians learned the value of these orchards in the wild erness and the early settlers in Ohio and Indiana grafted their own seedling apple trees from these superior varieties. The author's own father had an orchard from grafted scions of Johnny Appleseed's stock. Gordon and Mary Fowler lived at Monroe, Pa., where he had 1100 acres of land. One of their daughters was Hannah, blithe, happy-natured, always working at something, and such an expert weaver that she was a genuine artist. With a loom of many treadles she could weave counter panes of many colors and of the most unusual designs, birds, eagles, flowers and geometrical designs that would set an antiquarian of today half wild with delight. When a girl in a new country can cook, weave, sew, knit, keep house, make a garden, quilt and make soap, starch, blueing, dip candles, dye clothes, render out lard and make sausage; when she can swim and shoot, trap and hunt, tan skins and make moccasins at home, she is a prize for which rural swains contend. Daniel Miller, pleasant, smiling, honest and upright, won Hannah's hand and both won a prize.

Daniel Miller was born in New Jersey in 1779. He came into Monroe Township, Bradford County, Pa., in 1801, when 22 years of age. The next year he married Hannah. She was born in 1780 and died in 1850, aged 70. Three years later he came to Laddsburg, twelve miles from Mon roe. Laddsburg is still but a pretty hamlet, nestling at the foot of hills. Then it was in a deep, heavy forest, with the tree trunks tied together with enormous wild grape vines, some of them as thick through as a man's leg, and canoping the tops into giant arbors. Dutchman's pipes (aristolochias), with leaves as big as tea-plates, Virginia creepers and trumpet vines vied with the grapevines, while underneath the trees were thickets of dogwood, spice bush, "sarvis" (amelanchier ), ironwood, sumac, laurel and calico-bush. Daniel had to cut a road for two miles from New Albany to Laddsburg to get wagons through to haul his household effects. A few years before there had been a small French settlement at Ladds burg. Probably the Indians scared the settlers away and burned the houses. When Daniel and Hannah began to look about they found the remains of an old sawmill. The mill irons were burned and lost. Miller himself found the handwrought mill crank and Hannah found the rag wheel. Daniel's trade had been that of a tanner and currier, but he could turn his hand to anything. Every new settlement must have a grist mill and a sawmill. With the burned parts that he found, and what he and a blacksmith could manufacture, he set up a primitive mill and sawmill. So poor was the rusty saw that in those first days he and Hannah would load their log on its car riage, start the saw, scurry home and eat an already prepared dinner, rush back and get there before the log was sawed through! The story is told that when Daniel prospered enough to hire a hand to help, this Mr. Brown thought he would sit on the carriage and see if the saw could cut through the tail of his tow blouse. The saw caught the cloth all right but was too dull to cut it, wound the cloth up and stopped the mill. At first Daniel Miller used a hollow stump and spring pole for cracking corn, but in 1 8 1 0 he built a real grist mill. But the bolting had to be done by hand. He had to use a crowbar to start the stone and get the mill in motion. Daniel was always enterprising. The miller's family always kept open house. Everyone who brought-grain to be ground stayed to dinner. All the cooking in those days was done over the fireplace with the help of cranes, iron pots and Dutch ovens that were placed over a bed of coals, while the big heavy, over-hanging lid on top was filled with other coals. In this oven were baked ovenful after ovenful of toothsome biscuits or johnny-cake of corn meal. But it was woeful lifting, face roasting, dirty dish-washing and back-breaking work for the miller's wife and daughters. So Daniel got the first cookstove in Laddsburg and hundreds came to see it. It had a big firebox, a low top with two holes on which to cook, and had no oven. Mr. Sterigere, another enterprising new-comer and the first store-keeper in Laddsburg, went to see it. Mrs. Sterigere asked him how he liked it. He replied: "Why, I wouldn't have such a thing in the house! When you raise the lid, the fire and smoke just stream out!" The settlement of Laddsburg was slow on account of being so far from the main road. In 1818-1819, the owners of the land built the Susquehanna Turnpike from Berwick, Pa., to Tioga, N. Y., now Athens. This was when Abraham Waltman came on the scene, a youth of eighteen. Daniel Miller had a daughter, Roxana, born October 14, 1803, a girl of sixteen. Abraham liked the country and loved the girl. He married her in due time, and bought the wooded farm still known as Waltman's Hill, a pretty and peaceful prop erty now, but then a virgin wilderness that had to have a world of hard work done on it to convert it into a cultivated farm. 'Abraham and Hannah had eight children. The first church at Laddsburg was started in 1829. Among the charter members were Daniel Miller and his wife and their son-in-law and daughter, Abraham Waltman and his wife Hannah. Before this time Daniel Miller had built the first frame house in Ladds burg, a roomy affair three stories high, full of odd corners and unexpected cupboards. The house was built against a hill and the second story opened on the ground at the back. At first the ground floor was used for a wagon shed. The upper storywas used for the Silver Hill Lodge of Good Temp lars. At one end of the house was built a hugh stone chimney into which five fireplaces opened. They lodged transients and there was a sign with the Waltman name and a deer's head. In 1880 this house was torn down, and much of the lumber of the old house used in the new one. In an old chest Newton Miller, Daniel Miller's grandson, found two women's bonnets made to tie under the chin. One of purple silk and the other of lacy, openwork straw. So Daniel's daughters believed in the gospel of good clothes. The old hand-wrought mill crank, when its days of grinding were over was transformed into a rude cannon, and in the olden days the Fourth of July was celebrated in Laddsburg by roars from this old mill-crank cannon. Abraham was over ambitious to get his farm into cultivation. He over worked, became run down in health, and then an unhappy thing happened. He was not always himself. In these attacks he had a mania for getting away or for wandering away in the woods. He took one of these wanderlusts one winter. In the unbroken forests it was not easy to track a man. A cold snap, when the mercury went down, down to many degrees below zero, set in. Before they could find him he was terribly frozen. His legs had to be amputated, one just above the knee, the other above the ankle. But for this, in all probability Abraham would have regained his facul ties. His grandfather Conrad1 had lost his mind, and Andrew,2 his young est child, would have stood a good chance to have developed insanity, but he never did. But the two youngest sons of Andrew did show more or less mental disturbance. The terrible shock of amputation finished up all chance of recovery. Poor Abraham! · Roxana stepped in the breach. She made the plans. \Vhen Abraham recovered his strength he was as anxious to work as ever. "Doing more work than most men," his neighbors said. Roxana in the days when her sons were too small to chop down trees, build fences or plow; when her little girls were too little to cook and sew and weave, wash and iron, did these things herself. Morning, noon and night she attended to her house hold duties, then she and the crippled Abraham would tackle the woods. Together they would saw down a tree. While he rested, Roxana and the little boys chopped the trees into fire-wood or trimmed them up into saw logs. She did a man's work on the farm until the sons were old enough to relieve her. The family were clothed and fed and they never were on charity. Abraham died December 31, 1863. She lived five years longer, dying at sixty-five in 1868. With her physique she should have lived to have been a hundred. She freely sacrificed herself for her family. She was a real heroine. She trained her children to be industrious and resourceful. They had three daughters and five sons. When the civil war broke out, three of the sons volunteered. Daniel Waltman, the oldest son, Sylvenus, the third son, and William, the youngest son of all. Never one lived to come back. It was a terrible price that this family paid for its loyalty. Perhaps it was the loss of her three stalwart sons that helped to break down this mother's magnificent physique as much as the hard work she did when her children were small. The sons were Daniel,4 Joseph,4 Sylvenus,4 Alvin A.,4 and William.4 The daughters were Hannah,4 Mary4 and Sarah Roxana.4 HANN AH WALTMAN, 4 the oldest child, married her cousin, Abram Walt man,4 son of the Rev. Andrew Waltman. According to genealogical cus toms her line will be reckoned from her husband. That is the rule where cousin marries cousin, both in the line that is being traced. Hannah Waltman4 is thus described by Mrs. Annie S. \Valtman: "Aunt Hannah may have taken after the first Valentine in good looks. She was tall and slender. She had dark hair and eyes. She was particular in her dress and of stylish appearance. She was highly respected. My mother, Mrs. Sterigere, and Hannah were great friends." DANIEL WALTMAN4 was the oldest son, and was his mother's right hand man. He married Cynthia Burdick. The \Valtman and Burdick families must have been intimate as three of the Waltmans and Millers mar ried Burdick girls in a few years. Daniel was one of the fair, blond-haired Waltmans. Two boys were born to them, Lewis and \Vallace. Daniel 166 served in the 49th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was reported "missing" at the battle of the \Vilderness and lies with the unknown dead. His last letter was to his wife. "Dear wife-I received vour be loved letter last night :i'nd was glad to hear from you. I was sorry to hear that vou were not as well as you have been, and I want you to get any medicine that you think will do you any good. Take care of ,·ourself and do not work too har-d. I have enjoyed myself very much for the last week. We have had some of the best meetings. We have had a great many soldiers converted here and I have been happy most of the time. We saw General Grant and a great many other generals . . . artillery, wagon trains and other things. . . . If you want to know where we are this summer, look in the papers where the Sixth Corps is, then you can tell whether we are in battle or not. I will tell you how I feel about it. I shall fight for my country and the Lord, and if I do my duty, I have nothing to fear. _ . . I do not want you to trouble vourself too much about anything. If I live to come home again, it will be all right, and if the Lord spares my life, I shall see you again. But if not I hope DANIEL WALTMAN WHO DIED IN THE BATTLE we shall meet in heaven. I want OF TH:E WILDERNESS IN THE CIVIL WAR. you to keep up good courage and alwavs have heaven in view and I will do the same . . . Write when you get this for you do not know how a letter from you cheers me up. Remember, I shall think of you while I live. DANIEL WALTMAN." After his death his widow married again.

ALVIN A. WALTMAN SECTION "A lover of hospitality, a lo'"ver of good rnen, sober, just, holy, temperate, holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught."-Titus, i, 8, 9

ALVIN A. \VALTMAN,4 born Nlarch 14, 1839, and died August 27, 1925. He was the 'i.:ery last of the entire fourth generation that sprang from Conrad, no 1natter what the line. He was married in 1863, in war days. Alvin was a perfect type of the blonde \Valtmans, a strikingly handsome man even down to old age. At eighty-five his skin was as soft and fair as a baby's. His eyes were a clear, bright blue, his features regular, his masses of hair as white as the driven snow. He was of good height and well propor tioned. Alvin Waltman was upright in all of his ways. There was never a stain on his record. He was a great reader, a thinker that took a decisive stand for whatever he believed. He was a strong churchman. In his later years he was so deaf that he could not hear a word that the preacher said, but rain or shine, cold weather or hot, he was there in his accustomed place in the church and in his Sunday school class. He was a model man. Not a milk and water sort, not a sour-faced Christian, but a lively, pleasant, obliging, neighborly man that everybody liked. He was very industrious, and was a capable farmer. He and his wife were the foundation, backbone and the chief keepers up of the Methodist Protestant Church in Laddsburg, where he was born and where he died. He married in 1863 Phebe Williams, a school teacher, just as progressive, and as much of a church worker as he. An ideal couple. She was born in 1843 near Morristown, N. J. Her father was Jeremiah Fairchild Williams. On his mother's side he came from the well-known Fairchild family. Her mother, Susan H. (Fairchild) Cook was a young widow with one child when she married Phebe's father. She was a teacher, and Phebe followed in her footsteps. All her life Phebe Waltman has been a leader. When she was past eighty she was giving family dinners, with twenty-five or more present; put ting up quilts for the aid; getting up church meetings, and incidentally taking all of the preachers and their wives home to dinner; teaching in the . Sunday school and president of the W. C. T. U.; taking in state and county conventions. Always there was plenty of good reading and plenty of good feeding at the Waltmans. They had a family reunion on the 60th wedding anniversary, 1923. Alvin bought the old homestead of Waltman Hill. They had a family of eight children, and always had company. So Alvin had a roomy spring ALVIN WALTMAN AND WIFE

wagon built according to his own notions. That was in the late 1870's. lt had four seats and a top. \Vhile his own family filled it pretty well, there was always room for two or three more. On election day Alvin would pick up and seat twelve men. No slackers at the polls while he was around! This conveyance was noted for miles around. The iron gray horses and top wagon were a Laddsburg feature always. Later in life Alvin moved into Laddsburg and lived on the old home stead of his grandfather, Daniel Miller. MINA I.

ALLIED FAMILIES RELATED TO THE \VALTMANS

"One generation shall praise thy 'Zt'orks to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts."-Psalms, cxlv, 4

There are many of the families connected by marriage with the Walt mans, that their descendants would like to know more about. It is not always possible to do this. We have been glad to give the descents in gen eral, and something of the family history when possible. We have tried· to give the Revolutionary \Var record, if there was any, in each instance. We are asked about that oftener than any other one thing. Where it could be done we have given the official war record, as it will enable both men and women to affiliate themselves with the various patriotic societies connected with that great event in our national history. .Always, if known, we have indicated the country or nationality from which they sprang.

ALDERSON. The descendants from Lora La Mance-Watkins, through her marriage with Major J. C. >'7atkins, inherit Alderson blood, as his mother was Betty Alderson. In an old written memorandum in his mother's writing it was stated, "The Aldersons are related to General Wash ington." Major Watkins did indeed resemble the "Father of his country" in his figure and looks. He had the same Roman nose and firm chin. This would mean that the first American ancestor, Simon, who came early into North Carolina into Beaufort County, married either a Washington or a Ball, from which family, Mary, the mother of Washington came. Capt. Simon Alderson is believed to have won his title by being in command of a company of militia in some early Indian uprising. His name appears in the records nine times. He died late in 1740, leaving a will. Two sons. He proved his rights as freeman October 11, 1709, in Placquimine County. John Alderson,2 the oldest son, was clerk of the county court in 1749-50. His wife was Mary. Captain Simon Alderson,3 (J ohn,2 Simon,1) served in the Revolutionary War. In the North Carolina Historical Register, Vol. 2, he is called Captain Simon Alderson, of the Fifth \~irginia Regiment. He enlisted April 16, 1776, going from the Newberry District, North Carolina. See also History of North Carolina, by Goody, page 80, where he is called Captain. His Colonel was Edward Dunscomb. Simon is repeatedly called Captain, but no date given of his commission. At the time of his enlistment, Enloe was Captain. He enlisted the second time in the Second Regiment of the North Carolina Continental Line, under Captain Vail and Col. Alexander Martin, in 1777. On May 20, 1779, he was made sergeant. June 1, 1779, he was made prisoner. See N. C. Historical Register, Vol. II, page 125. He represented his district in the legislature, two terms, beginning in 1795. 4 1 Abel Alderson. (Simon,3 John,2 Simon. ) He married a Miss Davis. Her brother was the father of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Southern Confederacy. Miss Davis was of this lineage. The Baptist Church of Pembrokeshire, Wales, in 1701, sent a colony of their members to Dela ware, to the Pencader Hundred. Beginning in 173 5 and up to 175 0, there was a second migration to Welsh N eek on the Pedee River in South Carolina. One of those who came to Delaware in 1701 was Shion Dafydds, or in plain English, John Davis.1 His son, Evan Davis,2 went to the South Carolina settlement about 175 0. He married the Widow \Villiams nee Emory. Their son Samuel, born 175 6, was the father of Jefferson Davis, born 18 0 8. It was the sister of Samuel and daughter of Evan Davis that married Abel Alderson. So that she was the aunt of the President of the Southern Con federacy. Their son, Rev. John Alderson,5 married Sarah Amos. Benjamin Amos Alderson,6 (Rev. John,5 Abel,4 Hon. Simon,3 John,2 1 Capt. Simon. ) was born November 11, 1810. He married Mary Lisle Baker, who was born in Rappahanock County, Virginia, August 23, 1821. She was the daughter of Samuel Baker and Eliza Gamble. See BAKER article. Their daughter, Bettie Gamble Alderson, born in 1852, married Joseph C. Watkins of Missouri. See 'i."V ATKINS Article.

"I hai:e a stei:cardship entrusted to me."-1 Corinthians, ix, 17

BAKER. The Bakers come from an old Kentish family that possessed a manor in the 11 00's. Their Coat-of-Arms were "Argent (silver), a tower between three keys, erect, sable (black) crest. On a tower, sable (black), an arm embowed in armor, holding in the hand a flint stone proper." This line of Bakers descend from James Baker who came early in the 1 700's from England to James City, Virginia. It is said of him that he bore out the Baker tradition of being strongly religious, set in his beliefs and steadfast in his devotion to right. He soon became secretary and then manager for Col. Nicholas Burwell, a wealthy capitalist that owned many thousands of acres of land. James and his son Samuel together were the trusted general managers of this great estate for more than sixty years. Samuel lived on a part of the estate. Samuel Baker2 served in the Revolutionary \Yar. Said to have been an officer. There is no doubt of his service, but the author's notes have un- accountably disappeared. He married twice. By the second wife, Eliza (Elizabeth) Gamble, we trace. His second wife was the daughter of Joseph and Ann Gamble. She was an own cousin to Captain Robert Gamble of the Revolution, the father of two governors and the father-in-law of another. Eliza Gamble's own brother was Hamilton Gamble, the Civil \Var Governor of Missouri in most trying times. The Gambles were a prominent Scotch-Irish family. One of the line was killed at the seige of Londonberry in 1689. He was the grandfather of Robert Gamble1 who came as a single man to Augusta County, Georgia, about 1725. This Robert was the father of two sons. James,2 born 1729, his son Joseph,3 and Eliza4 was the great-granddaughter of the Emigrant Robert Gamble.1 The daughter of Samuel and Eliza (Gamble) Baker was Mary Lisle Baker, who married the Benjamin Amos Alderman of the Alderson section already given. Their third child and oldest daughter was Bettie Gamble Alderson, who was born in 1852, in St. Charles, Mo. She married Prof. Joseph C. Watkins. See the article on WATKINS. Four children. The oldest son was Major Joseph C. Watkins, who married, in 1902, Lora L. LaMance of Pineville, Missouri. He was a major in the World's War. He died September 9, 1926, at his home in Lake Wales, Florida. See Chapter XXIV. «The Lord knoweth them that are His."-2 Timothy, ii, 19

BIERLY. The Bierlvs were from Bavaria and were a Protestant family. The father of tho;e who came to America is thought from the many Daniels in the next generation to have been Daniel Bierly. He was a com moner, but well-to-do. His sons when they came over each bought several hundred acres of land. The baby of the family, Katherine, born in 1718 (even if a careless stone-cutter did put it on her gravestone, 1708), was the sweet, gracious girl that Conrad Waltman, born to a title, high rank and a great position, fell violently in love with. The Waltmans were furious, the Bierlys were as opposed. According to Germany's law of eben bitrtig, that nobility could not contract marriage with commoners, Conrad at the best could do no more than make her his morganatic wife, a sort of legalized concubine. The young people were too infatuated with each other to listen to reason. Accompanied by her faithful nurse, Katherine ran away to Holland. Conrad joined her there and they were married early in 1738. It was not a marriage that was legal in Bavaria. The Waltmans tried to separate the couple. In desperation they fled to America where Katherine's sister and several broth ers had gone. Anna Maria Bierly/ the older sister, had married Adam Miller. See article MILLER. She had a large family. Three descendants married in to the Waltman line. Jacob Bierly1 came in Ship Dragon on September 30, 1732. His son Jacob, Jr.,3 was born in 1760 and died in 1859, aged 99 years. Jacob, Jr.,2 1 79 was born in a fort, which itself spells trouble with the Indians. He fought against Indians in the Revolutionary \Var in the 13th Virginia Cavalry. Frederick Bierlv.1 He had a familv. \V'illiam (?) Bierly.1 -He also had° a family. His daughter Elizabeth married Adam Shaff er. John Bierly1 died before 1750. John Bierly2 married Leticia -- \\Tilliam Bierly.3 Mary Bierly.3 Catherine Bierly.3 Ann Bierlv.3 G--- Bierly.3 Frederick Bierly,2 of John, the Emigrant. Casimer (Casper) Bierly. 2 Quite a prominent man. Both names used. He is said to have served in the Revolutionary War.

BOGART FAMILY. Rev. Melville B. C. Schmoyer furnishes this data: Peter Bogart., 1 a grandson of Bardel (Bartholomew) Bogert, was born in Germany December 13, 1 721. He came to Philadelphia on Ship Friend ship, landing November 2, 1744. He settled on the Little Lehigh River in Salisbury Township, Lehigh County, Pa., taking up 304 acres of land. A partial list of his children gives Catherine and Jacob.2 John Bogert,3 son of Jacob, born December I, 1772; died August 15, 1854; married Elizabeth Kline. They had Jacob, Fronica, Lydia, John and Elizabeth. Jacob,4 born November 14, 1797. Died March 14, 1894, in his 97th year. Married Anna Wilt. The brother of Jacob, John Junior, born September 28, 1808; died March 11, 18 74. He married Abigail Knauss ( 1812-18 90). Issue: Sarus K., Charles H., Hiram J., Maria E., Matthias S., and Oscar. Sarus K. was married to Sarah Amanda Moyer, the grandaughter of Peter Waltman.3 See the Peter Waltman section of Chapter XVII.

BOWMAN. In the sketch of the Miller family it is told that Adam Miller married Anna Maria, an older sister of Katherine, Conrad Walt man's wife. Their daughter Catherine married Rudolph Fox and they went to Bradford County, Pa., and settled there when it was a howling wil derness. Some of the adventures of this family have already been given. 4 1 Catherine Fox,5 (Catherine, Adam Miller,3 Albrect,2 John Miller ), was married to Jacob Bowman. In their day the country was fast develop ing into civilization. The Bowmans had a daughter, Anne Eliza Bowman, who was born on Christmas day, 1812, in Pennsylvania. She died in Natchez, Mississippi, June 5, 1892, aged 80. She married Andrew L. Wilson of 180

Washington County, Pa. They went south, to Mississippi, where they accumulated plenty of wealth, but to the grief of their hearts were childless. They had a lovely home, "Rosalie," where she dispensed her hospitality like a queen. She took a great interest and spent money freely on orphanages and other enterprises that would give children and young people a chance. \i\Then the Civil \Var came on, she went heart and soul into the Southern Cause, and became known as "The Mother of the Confederacy." \Vhat Mary Livermore was to the soldiers in the hospitals in the North, that Mrs. Bowman was to the South. She put in months of actual nursing, then she organized hospital work. She practically built two great hospitals herself, and an orphanage for war orphans. Her beautiful home was taken as Fed eral headquarters successively by Generals Ransom, Gresham, Crocker and Grant. She extended every courtesy to these enemy war guests, and Mrs. Grant in particular was much attached to her. But when General Tuttle came, because of her activities, he put her in prison ten days and then banished her. She was one of those two remarkable "doubles" of Katherine (Bierlv) Waltman, who was born 94 years before her day. The author's moth;~, Kezia, a third cousin and two years younger, was the other. Those who could remember Katherine Waltman said they were both her "spit image." See illustration in Chapter VIII, which is really a picture of this Anne Eliza Bowman Wilson. She so resembled Kezia vValtman Nichols that when her photograph was casually handed to Kezia's daughter, the latter exclaimed: "\Vhat a splendid picture of Mother! \Vhere did you get it?" She had much of the same determination about her also.

CALD\VELL SECTION

"Thou hast loved righteousness and hated evil."-Hebre'<..cs, i, 9

CALDWELL. The Caldwells were originally Norman-French. In the Historical Collections of Joseph Hc1:bersham, D. A. R., Volume I, the story is thus told: There were two Norman brothers, John and Alexander, seaman, travel ers and warriors. They operated largely on the Mediterranean Sea. They were natives of Toulon, France. After a twenty-years' absence they returned to France. Political troubles loomed up in the latter part of the 1300's, and the brothers were mixed up in it and obliged to flee from France to keep their heads upon their shoulders. They went to Scotland and received an estate near Solway Frith. James I granted it on these conditions: Their estates should be called the Caldwell ( cauld well, meaning a cold spring,) manors. If the king became involved in a war, each brother should send a son with a retinue of twenty men of sound limbs with him to battle for the king. A silver cup is yet preserved that is engraved with the design of a chieftain and twenty men, all armed, behind them a fire on a hill; under it the words "~1ount Arid," ( the hill where their estates lay,) and a further addition of a vessel surrounded by high waves. At the Reformation the Caldwells became Protestants of the strongest kind. Ann Cauldwell of ·this Scotch line was the mother of Oliver Crom well. In the Cromwell wars John, Joseph, David and Andrew Caldwell went with Cromwell to Ireland. After Cromwell's death and the restora tion of King Charles II, John and Andrew fled to America for safety. (Joseph and David had already died.) Nearly all of the Pennsylvania and the southern Caldwells are from these two brothers, or from David's son John. They landed at Newcastle, Delaware. From there they went to Lancaster County, Pa. Several of John and Mary Caldwell's sons went south, as did several sons of Andrew Caldwell. No attempt will be made to trace but one of these, Rev. Dr. David Caldwell from whom sprang the LaMance and Watkins families of this book. Andrew CaldwelP landed at Newcastle, Del., December 10, 1724. He went to Lancaster County soon after. His wife was Ann Stewart, whom he married in Ireland six years before. Ann was a Stewart, and from the fourteen kings that were Stuart ( the French form of Stewart), through high and mighty dukes, lords, earls and down to barons and "gentles," that line never forgot that they were Stewarts, one of the greatest families in all Scot land or England. Alan, a younger son of the Count of Dol, in Brittany (France), crossed over to England, and was given high honors by Henry I. Alan's second son, \'falter Fitz-Alan, went to Scotland and by David I was made dapifer, or seneschal or steward of all Scotland. For seven successive generations they w:::re ''stewards." Hence the surname. Three of the seven were regents over the kingdom. \Valter, the sixth steward, married Margery, the daugh ter of King Robert Bruce, and thus eventually brought the crown to the familv. R~v. David Caldwell,2 D. D., was the most famous son of the many famous descendants of Andrew and Ann (Stewart) Caldwell. David was born March 22, 1723. He lived to be 99 years and 8 months old, and preached 63 years. He was trained for a carpenter, but studied, half clothed, half starved, through great difficulties, until he graduated as Bachelor of Arts from Princeton, in 1 7 61, when passed 3 6 years of age. He often spent the whole night studying without undressing. He was sent as a missionary to Alamance County, N. C. Then in his 38th year he married Rachel Craighead. Many have joined the D. A. R. on both his record and on her record. Rachel's great grandfather was a noted and persecuted clergyman, Rev. Robert Craighead, persecuted for his rigid Presbyterianism by the royal Stuarts. Her grandfather, Thomas Craighead, was a minister of Ireland. · Her father, who came to the "Land of the Free," was Alexander Craig head, who was ordained in 1736. He was popular, a leader, rather radical and decidedly hot-headed. He was tried for heresy and cleared. Admiral vVhitefield got him to go as the first missionary to North Carolina, to Meck lenburg County, in 17 53. He died in 1766. Rachel was proud of him, far in advance of his age, and a believer in civic liberty and independence. He preached in a log church. His grave is by it, unmarked by any stone, but nature marked it in a way peculiarly her own. \Vhen his coffin was lowered into the grave, the two sassafras poles that bore it were stuck down, one at the head and one at the foot of his grave., Both took root and made trees! Doctor David married Rachel late in "1766." This is obviously a mis print, and intended for 1762. Five different histories tell us that a few days before they had been married two years, they were the parents of five chil dren! Wiseacres have shook their heads over that statement, but the riddle is easily solved. There were twins born in ten months, and in thirteen months more there were triplets! Dr. Caldwell preached, studied, drained and ditched a farm, and at Guil ford started "an academy, college and theological seminary." He was given $200.00 a year salary, and worked his farm to eke out. Five of his pupils became governors, and fifty became ministers, and there were lawyers and doctors galore. He never expelled a pupil. It used to be said that "Doctor Caldwell makes the scholars and Mrs. Caldwell makes the preachers." She was a woman of extraordinary influence and power. Dr. Caldwell went his whole length to stir up North Carolina for the American side during the Revolution. His famous war text was, "Gird thy sword upon thy thigh." Psalms, xlv, 3. "Cornwallis offered $1000.00 for his capture or betrayal. The British hunted him like a rabbit. He hid in the woods. March 11, 1 7 8 I , his house was burned down and his library de stroyed; the books and the Bible were burned by Cornwallis' officers them selves in the great brick oven. By Cornwallis' deliberate orders, all pro visions were destroyed except one old goose that got away. They were angry at Rachel because when they searched for him she contrived to outwit them and warned him. So they turned the family out to starve. Rachel gathered her children together in an old smokehouse, and they lived for three days on some wormy and dried peaches that they found. She and the children were sworn at and insulted in every way. Then a British surgeon demanded that something be done for the delicate wife and little children. The higher officers, ashamed, gave them provisions, and a few cooking utensils. Mrs. Caldwell outlived her husband a year. Five sons lived. Out of this family's descendants have come over thirty ministers of the gospel! See the "Sketch of N. C." by Rev. William Henry Foster. On pages 235-6 and page 274 he gives a vivid sketch of her sufferings. She is officially listed as a patriot by the D. A. R. See D. A. R. Lineage Book, Vol. XXI, page 252, Nos. 20722 and 18885, which were granted on her own record. Very few women have ever had this honor conferred upon them. We trace only one son, a mere boy in the war, John Craighead Caldwell. He died in Winnsboro, S. C., after 1800. He was only 15 or 16 when he be came a soldier. He served under Captain Joseph C. Smith in 1780 in the Third Continental Line. In October, 1780, he was a prisoner at Hadrill's Point. He enlisted again in 1782, and for this last service was granted a land bounty in South Carolina. His health was so injured by his war experience that he was granted a pension in 1788. See pages 426, 468 and 422-3 of Vol. IV, of S. C. Historical and Genealogical Magazine. Also Vol. V, page 152, Vol.\), pages 60 and 123, and page 102 of Vol. IV, of Bounty Grants of South Carolina. Also see pay roll of Captain Towle. He married Lily Henderson, the daughter of James and Harriet (\Val lace) Henderson. See \~r ALLACE. Her father's grandfather, Thomas Henderson/ came from North Ireland in 1717. (Thomas,1 Thomas,2 Dr. 5 Kearns Henderson,3 James,4 then Lily. ) Her grandfather married Eliza Robinson. Meanwhile the family had gone south. Harriet \Vallace brought in the blood of the Youngs, a very brainy family, and of the Wallaces, the very last of those descended from the Scotch patriot \Villiam Wallace. So Lily married this semi-invalid soldier, John C. Caldwell.3 Again we trace but one son, Adam,4 who married Jane Givens, of another Scotch Irish line. James Givens1 came from Ireland with four sons, J ohn,2 Sam uel,2 J ames2 and Edward.2 All four of these sons served in the Indian dis turbances of 1742, in Virginia, and were given land bounties afterwards. See page 92 of Virginia Colonial Militia. Also Annals of Augusta County, Va., pages 122-3. From the namesakes this James2 is supposed to be next on the tracing line. Then Thomas,3 and then Jane4 his daughter. James Givens2 served under Col. Campbell at King's Mountain. See page 38 of January, 1926, D. A. R. Magazine. North Carolina gave him a land bounty of 640 acres for his services. It was granted August 27, 1784. Adam Caldwell's daughter Cynthia Hannah,5 usually called Cynthia, was married in Spring Place, Georgia, in 1841, to James Preston LaMance of Huguenot descent. See LA MANCE. Their oldest son, who was born and died in Pineville, Missouri, was Marcus Newton Wallace La Mance, who married the author of this book. He signed his name Marcus N. Adam and his wife followed Cynthia to Missouri, where Jane (Givens) Caldwell died in 1848. When the California gold rush was on, their son in-law's family went-overland and stayed in California for a time. Adam, now a widower, went with them. On the plains he died of cholera, May 1 O, 1849. There was a strange fatality that followed the La Mances on this Cali fornia sojourn. Cynthia buried her father and a three-year-old daughter on the plains as they went. J. P.'s father, Jacob La Mance, undertook to visit them in 1852, and the ship went down after it left San Blas, Mexico, and all perished. When the family returned to Missouri in 18 5 3, crossing the Isthmus of Panama, they contracted a tropical fever and two of their children and an adopted boy died in two days.

CAMPBELL. It is well known that the Campbells was one of the largest and most powerful of the Highland Clans of Scotland. They were so numerous indeed that they were divided into four sub-clans, the Camp bells of Argyll, Breadalbane, Cawdor and Loudoun. Their war cry was "Cruanchan ! " ( A mountain near Loch Awe.) Their badge is the wild myrtle, (roid), or the fir club moss (garbhag an t-sleibhe in Gaelic), either one, and these are common to every division. But each sub-clan has its own plaid or tartan. Campbell's of Argyll is a green and black so dark that the green is almost a black; its very broad plaid design, nearly three inches across, is relieved only by narrow alternate stripes, pne of yellow, one of white. Campbell's of Breadalbane's is much more striking. The plaids are a flush inch wide, dark-green (but not black-green) and black, the dividing narrow stripe of an orange-yellow. Campbell's of Cawdor has the same background plaid as Breadalbane, and the same size, but the alternate narrow stripes are of red and clear green. Campbell's of Loudoun is back to Argyll's broad, dark plaid, dark green and black, two inches wide, divided by alternate narrow stripes, but now of orange yellow and white. If any family know their tartan pattern they can at once tell to what sub-clan they belong. Their Coat-of-Arms is a very simple one, that looks more like spider-web design than anything else. Each sub-clan has its own clan music. Argyll has The Campbells are Coming, (Bail Ionaraora). The Marquis of Argyll's Salute, (Failte Mharcuis) ; The Marquis' Lament or Requiem ( Cumha Mharcuis). Argyll was the original clan. It took its name from a facial deformity, cam, wry, meaning crooked, and beul, mouth, wry-mouth. In 1216 Gillispie held lands in Stirling. Neil Campbell, just before 1300, married the sister of King Robert Bruce. In the terrible battle of Flodden in 1 5 I 8, when thirty heads of clans perished with their king, Archibald, Earl of Argyll, died also. His third son, Sir John, married the red-headed Muriel, daughter and sole heiress of Cawdor. and thus the Cawdor Branch of the Campbells came in. Two clans came t~ battle over her in childhood, her estate was so valuable. Each tried to hold her. Sir John was the ulti mate victor. The Breadalbane Campbells came as the result of another high marriage. Sir Duncan Campbell married Lady Marjory Stewart, the granddaughter of King Robert II. Their son, "Black" Colin, when the McGregors were de prived of their lands as disloyal, came in possession of them. He was one canny Scotsman. He married four times rich heiresses of lords and earls and added largely to his possessions. The next heir, Sir Duncan, died on the Battlefield of Flodden. In time the heads became earl and marquis. The Campbells of Loudoun came from another marriage with an heiress. Sir Duncan Campbell of Argyll married Susanna, heiress of Sir Reginald Crawford, whose grandmother was a sister to the great Scotch patriot and leader, Sir William \Vallace. This house had vast estates. So whatever their descent, any Campbell has a right to feel a pride in this old historic clan, with its honorable record.

This concerns those descended from Joseph C. \Vatkins. \Vhen Canute was king of England, in 1020, ( see Suckling's History of Suffolk), Galter Heveningham was Lord Heveningham in Suffolk. The Arms, as adopted in the Crusades, are a field charged with nine scallop shells, with a sable (black) I 8""_) bordure. The crest was a Saracen's head coupled gules (red). On his head a cap, or (gold) turned up ermine. The origin of that crest was this: Sir \Villiam Heveringham went with Richard Coeur de Lion to the Crusade and overcame Safed, a daring Saracen chieftain, the captain of a castle in Pales tine. Ever after that they used a Saracen's head as a crest. Sir John Heveringham1 was buried June 16, 1633. His daughter mar ried a Codrington who went to the Barbadoes in the \Vest Indies. There their daughter Henningham Codrington3 met and married Dr. George Carrington. Their son George4 married Ann Mayo, daughter of Major William and Frances (Gould) Mayo. This last George was the father of eleven children of whom the youngest, Mary Carrington,5 married Joseph \Vatkins. See \VATKINS article. Heveningham became Henningham.

CHARLETON. (L'Chastaine, Chastaine, Chastain.) This was a fam ily of Huguenots from France. The original name was d'Chastaine, but their English speaking neighbors in Virginia made short shift of that. They dubbed them Charleton, and in a couple more generations the family itself gave up the struggle and called themselves Charleton. The first refugee was Etienne (Stephen) d'Chastaine,1 who came over "in the first shippe," about I 63 7. He married a widow, Mrs. Bridget Severine. Evidently he was a good citizen. In the Indian disturbances of 1651, the County Court of N-orthampton County, Virginia, later called Accomac County, duly commissi0ned him to act as captain over a company of Militia. See Virginia Colonial Reports, pages 99-10 0. The daughters among their descendants can join the very exclusive and aristocratic Colonial Dames on this record. His son William Chastaine,2 was a wealthy planter, owning a large plantation. He sent his sons to France to be educated, Henri3 and Etienne3 (Stephen). Henri Chastaine,3 (Charleton) in 1734, got into difficulty. He was such a stiff Huguenot that he did not like the Episcopalian Church much better than he did the Catholic. Now the Episcopalian Church was the church in that day in Virginia. So when he called the rector, "that black cotted rascoll," he was promptly arrested for libel. He was defended by John \Valton, the father of George Walton who signed the Declaration of Independence, and cleared. Stephen (Eteinne) Chastain,3 \:\Tilliam,2 Eteinne,1 came back from his school in France on the same ship on which was Bartholomy Dupuy and his family. That was in 1700. There he made the acquaintance of Martie, · (Martha) Dupuy whom he afterwards married. This Stephen was ap pointed by his County Court as Captain of Militia in an Indian uprising. Perhaps in 173 7. He died in I 751. For his marriage to a Dupuy, see the article DUPUY. Colonial Records, pages 99-100. 186

On page 92, of these same Virginia Colonial Records it is stated that Jacob Charleton,4 (son of Captain Stephen Chastain), was commissioned by the County Court, August, 1742, during Indian troubles, over the 4th of Virginia Militia. This counts on Colonial Dame membership also. Jacob Charleton, Jr.,5 served in the Revolutionary War. He was born and died in Accomac County. Born about 17 50 and died after 1800. He married Susan----. His record has been accepted for D. A. R. mem bership. He served as a private in a Virginia Regiment, as is· on record in the Virginia State Library. See Secretary of War Report, \Var Document, 8, 1, 2. His daughter, Malinda Jane,6 married John La Mance, and her line is merged in his. They were married in 1793, he 37, she 17. They had Lucy,7 born 1794, Jacob, 7 born 1798, James,7 Abraham7 and Isaac.7 Through Jacob who married Louise Winters, then on through their son, James P., who married Cynthia H. Caldwell, and grandson, Marcus N. La Mance, who married Lora S. Nichols, the descent is carried on. See articles LA MANCE, CALDWELL, WINTERS.

CRAIGHEAD. The Craigheads were Scotch-Irish, and like all of the rest of the Scotch-Irish they were rigid Presbyterians. Nearly every son was a minister, and they were ministers of the courageous John Knox type that did not hesitate to call a spade a spade. Rev. Robert Craighead was Moderator of the Synod. He lived in Londonderry, Ireland. His two sons, Robert and Thomas Craighead were both ministers. Rev. Thomas Craighead2 came to Boston in 1 71 5. He died in 1 7 3 3. His son, Rev. Alexander Craighead,3 eloquent, fiery, free-spoken, quick tempered if he was a minister, was in Pennsylvania. He was charged with heresy, tried and acquitted. After Braddock's defeat, it was unsafe to re main on the frontier. His friend, Admir~l Whitefield, induced him to be come the first Presbyterian missionary to North Carolina. He went to Mecklenburg, where he so valiantly pleaded for American freedom from European thralldom that he has been called "the immortal Craighead, the Apostle of Liberty." The effect he had upon that community can never be measured. Everyone knows that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence antedated the National Declaration of Independence by more than a year, having been passed May 20, 1775. Cornwallis termed Mecklenburg "that hornet's nest of rebellion." Rev. Alexander Craighead died in 1766. In the D. A. R. Lineage Books, Vol. IV, page 304, he is listed as a patriot, "who preached for liberty in Pennsylvania and Virginia. I-Iis efforts in North Carolina bore fruit in the Mecklenburg Declaration." No. 3934 was given D. A. R. membership on his record. It was his splendid daughter, Rachel,4 one of the few women of America accepted as a "woman patriot," whose deeds were so outstanding that her descendants are entitled to join the D. A. R. on her record. She married a m1ss10nary, clergyman and patriot, and a college president beside, Rev. David Caldwell of North Carolina. Her line merges with his, and her experiences are told at some length in the article, CALD'\VELL.

"Follow peace with all men."-Hebrews, xii, 14

CRAIG. The Craigs hark back to Sir James Craig,1 in Armagh, Ireland, in 1610, where he had 1000 acres of land. One of his sons was Ruling Elder Hugh Craig.2 And Ruling Elder Hugh Craig had a son Thomas,3 also a Ruling Elder, a daughter Sarah,3 who married Hugh Wilson, also a Ruling Elder. That speaks for their staunch Presbyterianism. Both Thomas and Sarah came with their families to Pennsylvania either in 1726 or 1728. See article) '\\TILSON. Jane Craig, another sister, married John Boyd and lived on the Forks of the Delaware, Pennsylvania, in 1728.

BARTHOLOMY DUPUY AND HIS ANCESTRY

"1 waited patiently for the Lord and He heard my cry."-Psalms, xl, 1

In all this book there is not another name around which so much romance gathers as that of Bartholemy Dupuy, the seventeenth in descent from a great Crusader, a renowned warrior that fought many a battle for wicked, crafty, foxy Louis XIV of France, his trusted personal agent for years, and then was hunted like a wild beast by that ungrateful monarch because he would not forswear his religion at that king's demand. The name and title go back to about A. D. 1000. Their seat was in southeastern France, 270 miles from Paris. The name, Du (of the) Puy (mountain). In the Crusades their Arms was a gules (red) rampant lion, with azure (blue) tongues, and claws, upon a field of or (gold). Hugo Dupuy went with his four sons and his wife, Deurait de Poissein, into the Crusade of 1096, to rescue the Lord's sepulchre at Jerusalem out of the hands of the unbelievers, the Moslems. His son Alleman and his grandson Hagues were also in the Crusades respective! y of 1115 and 1140. Alleman married Alix, Princess Dauphine. Seven generations more came a great general, Ainier. Ainier's grand son, Jean, became a Protestant and his line after him. And his great-great grandson was this Bartholomy Dupuy, who is described thus: "He was of a lofty stature; he had a deep voice, an eagle eye, was of a haughty bearing. He wore a sword buckled around his belt. He was Count Dupuy, and was born about 1652, a strong Protestant." This sword that he carried through sixteen battles, came down to his children, old, battered, about three feet long. It was carried in the Revolutionary \Var and in the \Var of 1812. He .was a soldier at 18. He served fourteen years as an officer, a lieutenant of the body-guard of Louis XIV. He had advanced into the great favor of the king, apparently. He married a young Huguenot Countess, Susanna Lavillion, and retired to his country seat on the River Gironde, near the Atlantic Coast, to enjoy 188 his honeymoon. Meanwhile Louis XIV determined to stamp out Protestant ism in France. He sent a special messenger to Dupuy and also sent a priest that Dupuy liked, to convert him. Earnestly the priest labored for two anxious hours, but Dupuy.and his bride stood firm. Here is a copy of the warning amnesty sent by the special courier:

"KING'S PASS To our trusted and well-beloved, Barthelemi Dupuy, one of our guards men, who has an Amnesty granted to him, with all of his household, until the first day of December. Any annoyance of the said Seigneur Dupuy will be at the peril of the officer who commands it. Such is our royal will, and, moreover, we pray our said trusty friend, Dupuy, to adjure his heresy, and return to the bosom of the Holy Church, in which alone is rest. Done at Versailles this 30th, October, in the year 1685. Lours. . To the Seigneur Dupuy at his Chateau of Velours in Saintorgne-these in haste-ride! " It was Louis XIV that used to say "L' etat c'est moi," which means, '~I am the State." i. e. He could do and would do what he pleased and no power could stay his hands. If men or women stood in his way, and they could not be bribed or coerced, then his trusted assassins poisoned or stabbed them, or they were put to the sword, or thrown into prison to rot. Batholomy Depuy recognized the veiled threat in asking him to "adjure his heresy, and return to the bosom of the Holy Church." We are told in the "Story of an Old Sword," by John Esten Cooke. "After he learned that he would be punished after December 1, his countenance was fierce." He wrote to the king, and begged for clemency because of his long devotion to the king. When the answer to this came, he was granted until the morning after the receipt of the king's answer. If he persevered in his obstinacy, he would be dealt with as a pernicious heretic, and that meant death. Bartholemy had not been idle between these two missives. He well knew the man with whom he had to deal. He had secretlv sold the chateau and lands for a third of their value, and had the money f ~r them. He had turned other possessions into either money or jewels. When the last ulti matum came, he claimed the little time left to him to think over it. lt was granted. He hustled down to a tailor. "I must ride for my king, and there must be a fine cloth suit made and delivered before midnight for my page who rides with me. Here are the measurements." The tailor, Pourtigot, made him pay three times the usual fee, but it was ready on time. He made it in six hours! It was of fine Flemish cloth, clashed with velvet. Countess Susanna's maids cut her hair. Vlhen the pretty brown suit came, a slashed and embroidered coat, a long waistcoat buttoned up high, with a snowy ruffle peeping out, close knee-breeches and high Spanish shoes with flexible tops of chamois skin, and a dark cap with a floating feather, and a handsome cloth coat or cloak over all, the Countess was in it in twenty minutes time! She looked like a slender, pretty boy. ~ ~·~~"·'- \1 ' ll1t(1lll 'p,,,-._ -~ i(•if-ti!t.;,tJ'p;;;,,,_1,. {...,1-~

LOUIS XIV OF FRANCE

Bartholemy was clad in the king's guardsman's garments. He carried his father's old sword, that had been in 16 battles and four duels. He had three or four heavy pistols buckled on, and carried a bag of gold. They carried a hymnbook and Bible, and saddle-bags of clothing and jewels. They were mounted on grand horses that were noted for their swiftness. At mid night they started and fled for eighteen days until they reached German territory. At daybreak pursuit started. Thrice Louis' men .came in sight of them, but with their fleet horses they outrode them. Once the countess was struck in the breast by the pursuer's ball. Dupuy killed the man that fired the shot. But the bullet buried itself in the psalter she carried, so no injury came to her. The book of Psalms she carried is still preserved. Just as they thought they were safe, the last French sentinel challenged them and demanded to see their papers. Bartholomy flew into a pretended rage, whipped the letter he had receivd from Louis, held so that only the bold signature showed, and shouted: "Do you dare stop the King's messenger on a life or death errand?" His fine clothes, his equipment, was convincing, and the sentinel motioned them to go on. When once they were safe, Bartholomy read from the Fortieth Psalm: "I waited patiently for the Lord, and he inclined unto me and heard my cry. He brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock." And family tradition says that the countess responded, "Withhold not thy tender mercies from me, 0, Lord! Let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve me." And then husband and wife prayed in thankfulness. On his death bed in Virginia, Dupuy quoted those words again, "I waited patiently for the Lord." Dupuy stayed fourteen years in Germany. In 1699, on the invitation of King \Villiam, they went to England. In 1700, he came to America with his family, and one of those who accompanied him was Stephen Chastaing ( d'Chastain), later called Charleton. See CHARLETON. There were four children now, and one of them, Martie (Martha), later married young Stephen (Etienne) Chastaine. They laRded at Jamestown, Va. Susanna died by 17 3 7. He died in April, 1 7 43, aged 91. Mementoes are still kept and records. The sword was carried by this grandson, Captain James Dupuy in the Revolutionary \Var. It was lost during the Civil \Var, when Federal troops sacked the place. They had five children and twenty-seven grand children. Those descended from Major J. C. \Vatkins who married Lora L. La Mance, come from the Charletons, and also from four \Vatkins branches that intermarried with the Dupuys, have five strains of this heroic blood. See Virginia and family records and the sketch by John Esten Cooke of the Dupuys, in Harpers Monthly. See also Baird's Huguenots in America, and R. A. Brock's Huguenot Emigration, pages 151-182. The son, John James Dupuy ,2 married Susanna La Valan. They had two sons, Bartholomew3 and John J ames,3 and five daughters. John J ames3 mar ried Elizabeth Minter. Olympia3 married a Tiabeu, and her daughter Jane4 married her cousin, Joseph Minter. Their daughter, Jane Minter,5 married Thomas \Vatkins. See article WATKINS. Two of old Bartholomy Dupuy's daughters married \Vat~ins also, but not in the direct line of Major Vlat kins. John James Senior's daughter Judith married Stephen Watkins, from whom this branch also comes.

THE ERWIN FAMILY

"Holding faith and a good conscience."-! Tini., i, 19

The Erwins, Irwins, Irvine are all the same. They are the same clan. William de Irvine was armor-bearer for King Robert Bruce. He was a baron of a very old family that came over with King Fergus from Ireland. It is said that they had a fine castle in Ireland. Their bards claimed that their ancestors came with the Gauls from Spain to Ireland, centuries be£ ore Christ was born in Bethlehem. In Scotland their possessions were in Dum frieshire. They were related by marriage to Archibald "Bell the Cat," Earl of Douglas. They also intermarried with Scotch royalty. Bruce gave his armor-bearer an estate on which there were many holly trees growing. So William de Irvine took a Coat-of-Arms, argent, three holly leaves slipped vert, crest, a mailed hand grasping seven holly leaves. Motto: "Haud ullis labentia ventis." .All branches carry the holly leaves on their Coat-of-Arms. Nearly all of the great Scotch clans that were adherents of Oliver Crom well, after his death, were treated with great severity. Many of them went to Ireland. Among them were the Irwins, or Erwin as many them wrote the name. In time things were made unpleasant for them there, and in ten years' time half of Protestant Ireland, all of Scotch blood-the so-called Scotch-Irish-came to America. One of these was Samuel Erwin, born about 1705. He married Anne Wilson, whose brother Thomas of Ballenderry, Ireland, left her a legacy, in March, 1748. \Vhen he came they had at least three children, Henry and Samuel and Jane, the oldest, who married Alan McLane. See page 984 of the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy. It has already been told how Samuel Erwin in 21 years, from 1744 to 1765, belonged to a company of Militia under the command of Captain John Little. \Vhen there was peace, the men went about their work; when the Indians got on the warpath as they did time and again, the Militia was called out, and Erwin for 21 years was one of the most dependable men in the company, cool, quick and courageous. His qualities were recognized. He was made a colonel and placed in charge of the defense of the frontiers . in 1776. He was the oldest officer in the Revolutionary \Var. He served six years and ten months, as active, as wiry, as cautious, yet daring as ever. \Vhen the war closed in 1783, he lacked but two years of being four-score years old. Congress voted him a grant of land, several hundred acres, in New York, and there he removed to Erwin Center, N. Y., where he died. Samuel Erwin's services are recorded as to his 21 years of Indian service in Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. I, page 319, on the roll call of Captain John Little. His was the 22nd name on the list. He served, when ever called out, from 1744 to 1765. On the 26th of May, 1761, he was "passed" at Car lisle, Pa. His was at that time the 64th name on the roll. It is somewhat striking that there should have been assembled at Carlisle in 1761 a company of men to go out and risk their lives battling against Indians, and at this same city, 82 years afterwards,_the United States govern ment should have put a large and comprehensive Industrial School for Indians, where thousands of young Indian men and women have been edu cated without money or price on their part, and taught the arts of peace and civilization. Carlisle lies in the Cumberland Valley, 118 miles north and west of Philadelphia. On May 1, 1761, his Regiment was sent to the de fense of Pittsburgh. In 1760, Col. James Burd was placed over this first battalion to which Samuel Erwin belonged. Col. Erwin's services in the Revolutionary "\,Var, where he served six years and ten months, are recorded in Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. VI, pages 232 and 608 and 375. Also in the Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy, pages 984, 5 60 and 194.

FATZINGER FAMILY. Through the courtesy of Rev. Melville B. C. Schmoyer we give this: George Fatzinger,1 ancestor of the family, lived in Allen Township, Northampton County, Pa., in 1772. He and his wife Elizabeth had three children, Valentine,2 Eva2 and Henry.2 Valentine,2 born in 1740, died May 12, 1807, married Barbara Laury, 1751-1860. They are both buried in the Old Allentown Cemetery. Their children were Jacob,3 Maria Magdalena,3 Susannah,3 Solomon,3 Charles,3 E lizabeth3 and John. 3 Elizabeth,3 born October 15, 1 7 8 5, married Peter Waltman.3 See Peter Waltman section, Chapter XVII.

FOX FAMILY. Katherine \~laltman's niece, and one who closely re sembled her, Catherine Miller, married Rudolph Fox from the Palatinate. He was born 1 7 3 9. At 31 he came across the ocean, met Catherine and married her. She was born May 4, 1748, and died April 1 O, 181 O, and is buried in Cole's Cemetery. She was a tall, large woman, weighing in her later years over 200 pounds. Noted for her kindness, her love of children and her resourcefulness in times of sickness or peril. Fox and his bride went at once to Bradford County, and were the first settlers. Her oldest child was the first white child born in that region, and her daughter's marriage was the first one in Towanda. They were Metho-· dists in that early, early day of Methodism. She had :fifteen children of whom 14 lived to grow up. They were Daniel, Abraham, Catherine, Ch~is tiana, Eliza, Mary, Philip, Rudolph, John, Anna, Eleanor, Susanna, Mar garet and Dorothy. The oldest of all was Eliza, born late in 1770. Catherine of above married Jacob Bowman. See BO\VMAN. Rudolph Fox was shDrt and heavy set. Several times his family had to flee from the Indians. Twice he was captured. He bore a charmed life, escaping each time. He was drowned in 1806, in Fox's Hole, aged 67. In the Revolutionary \Var he was Ensign in. the 9th Company of the 24th Connecticut Militia. When the Indians captured him first was in 1 777. He escaped, lived on berries and water and got home safely. The second time was while he was serving as a soldier and the Indians were helping the British. His redskin captors turned him over to the British forces and he was carried a prisoner to Quebec. He escaped from the garrison of Quebec in 1778, and again reached home. His family knew nothing of what had be come of him. Eliza Fox, the oldest child, was once left alone in a small cabin, after the Indians had burned the rest of the buildings. It was a month before she saw any of the family again. Panthers and wolves howled around the cabin and food was gone. That was in 1782, when she was less than twelve years old. Eliza looked like her aunt Katherine also. She married a Mr. Means. In an Indian raid, Mrs. Fox once fled with her children to a woods over looking a stream. Her baby started to cry. If the Indians heard it, that infant's cry might lead to the death of them all. Three times the frantic woman tried to throw her baby in the stream in order to save the others. Her mother heart failed her each time. Then she stifled the baby's cries by stuffing his mouth full of leaves! They escaped, although it was weeks before she reached home again. The early histories of Bradford County, Pa., have much about this really remarkable family that blazed the way of civilization for those who came after them. They were of a high type of pioneers and worthy of the high esteem in which they_have ever been held.

THEGREENES

"Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations." Deut., xxxii, 7

All of those who come from the line of Kezia (\Valtman) Nichols, of Chapter XXIV, are of a double strain of Greene blood through the father and mother of Nelson Nichols who married Kezia. The Emanuel \Valt man line of Virginia also have this same blood. The Greenes were a branch of the de la Zouche family of whom Gibbon, the historian, said that they had the most royal blood and the most strains of · royal blood in all Europe. The Greenes were at one time the largest land owners in all England. It would take a small volume to give these various descents. There was fifty times over descent from Charlemagne, the great est man of a thousand years. There was a dozen descents from Alfred the ~rt.enc THE GREENE COAT-OF-ARMS. ALL BRANCHES OF THE FAMILY ARE ENTITLED TO USE THE THREE BUCKS TRIPPANT, OR, ON '1'N AZURE FIELD, AS IT WAS BORNE BY THE FOUNDERS OF THE LINE.

Great and fifty from \Yittikind. They had the blood of Irish, Scotch, Saxon, English and Bohemian kings; they had royal Pict blood, "\\T elsh, German, Italian and Burgundian; they came from ancient Parthian emperors long before Christ, regular heathens. Armenian and Russian rulers, French kings, the Roman Emperor, Constantine the Great, and the Byzantine Em peror, Basil the Great. Through the royal \V elsh line they claimed a double infusion of Jewish blood, one line from the High Priest Aaron, one from King David. Queen Victoria of the same blood, firmly believed this. A dozen titular saints, a dozen signers of Magna Charta and over thirty Crusaders were in this descent. We give but one, and it much condensed. Alexander,1 a younger son of a de la Zouche, was given an estate and title as "a great baron," by old King John of England, of most unsavory memory. This was in 1202. The estate was that of de Greene de Boketon. His son Walter de Greene de Boketon2 was in the Seventh Crusade in 1244. His son John3 died in 1171, in the next Crusade, leaving a year-old Sir 4 5 Thomas de Greene ; then came Thomas de Greene who married his kins woman, Lady Lucie de la Zouche, and her descent is as follows: Wittikind,1 the German hero whom Charlemagne conquered and con verted to Christianity; his wife, the Princess Geva. Robert the Strong,3 the grandson, who married Adelhaid the daughter of Emperor Louis le De bonnair, and granddaughter of Charlemagne. His grandson, Hugo5 the

Eight more generations to John Greene15 who came over to Massachusetts in 1635, went to Rhode Island the next year. It is told in the Nichols Section how that family descended from John Greene, the Indian trader of Quidnessett, R. I., through his son, Lieut. John. It is told in the King section of how Samuel King's wife descended through this same John Greene, the fifteenth generation from Sir Alexander, and the first genera tion of American Greenes through his son, Lieut. James Greene.2 See articles KING and NICHOLS. We give the Greene Coat-of-Arms and armorial bearings.

"One that ruleth 'U:ell his own house."-1 Tim., iii, 4

HARMON. Those of Chapter XXV, Abraham Waltman Section, from Thomas H. Crockett, son-in-law of John Lewis Waltman, the grandson of Abraham Waltman, and the W altmans of Chapter XXVI will be interested in the Harmon blood of his mother's side. 1 Augustus Harmon ( Beerman Harmon) was a Bohemian adventurer of great accomplishments. In the early days he served on Governor Stuy vesant's Council in New Amsterdam, now New York City. He conducted an embassy from the Government to Lord Baltimore to confer on their conflicting claims of territory. This made Lord Baltim9re so mad, he shut up Harmon in prison. He escaped, made a fine map of Maryland and sent it to Lord Baltimore, who was so pleased with it that he gave him, in 1663, 20,000 acres of land in Cecil and Kent Counties. Here Harmon built Bo hemian Hall. He was soldier, surveyor, linguist, sailor, diplomat and capitalist, and by no means a bad writer. Four sons. One of them made him trouble. Ephraim,2 so promising that William Penn sent him his "love." Prob ably a Quaker then. At 22 he was clerk of the county court at his Maryland home. He married when but nineteen, Elizabeth Rodenburg, the daughter of the governor of Curacoa, one of the West Indies. He owned 1200 acres of land. In 1684 he became a Labadist, a fanatical sect limited to 100 per sons. His wife would not join. Ephraim, because he thought the Lord re quired it, gave all of his land to the sect's head. Old Augustus stormed. Ephraim thought better of it and left the organization. Augustus gave his repentant son a lot more land. The Labadists got Ephraim again, and this time he deeded them 3000 acres his father had just given him. Then Old Augustus solemnly cursed his son. He asked God to make him insane, and to take his life from him ARMORIAL BEARIXGS OF SIR THOMAS GREENE. 7 (Photo_rraphed expressly for this work from Hai~tead's Genealogy, published in 15.$.)

1 95 inside of two years. Ephraim went wild with terror, did go insane, and 4,id die inside of the two years, through his superstitious fear of his father's solemn curse. The Labadists broke up and were heard of no more. Ephraim's son Matthew3 went to Pennsylvania, and his son Adam Har mon4 went to Virginia, where he became a leading pioneer. He and his sons were famous for their Indian warfare. One of Adam's sons was killed and scalped by Indians and his own house burned. A very generous and brave man, who lived in a difficult age, and did well his part. His sons were several of them in the Revolutionary War. From him the Virginia Harmons descend. · HOTTEN STIEN. This was an old titled German family of gentle birth and good breeding. Jacob Hottenstien2 was the son of J acob1 born February 15, 1697, in Eslinger, Germany, and who died March 23, 1753. He came to America in 1727. He was a friend of Conrad \Valtman. When the three sons lost their life in the Revolutionary War, and Conrad lost his mind over it, it was he that wrote that comforting letter to Katherine Walt man, that has been preserved by the family these 150 years. (1928.) His son, also a Jacob,3 was one of the early settlers in Bradford County. One of Adam Waltman's daughters, see Chapter XXIV, married a Hottenstien, probably from Jacob Hottenstein's3 line. HOLMES. This is of interest to those who have Nichols blood. See Chapter XXIV, Kezia (Waltman) Nichols section. Elder Obadiah Holmes was a Baptist of Newport, R. I., in the days when the Congregationalists of Massachusetts did not love the Baptists of Rhode Island. They were ordered to keep out of the state. Elder Obadiah came to a friend in Massa chusetts, and at his house preached a doctrinal Baptist sermon. He was whipped soundly for it by the authorities, and had to lie on his face three days because his back was so sore. His granddaughter, Elizabeth Parsons, married the son of Lieut. James Greene.2 Elder Obadiah Holmes was born in 1606. He died in 1682. He was the father of eight children. One daughter was Deborah. A daughter married a son of Hugh Parsons and their daughter was the Elizabeth spoken of above. LA MANCE. The LaMances were a French Huguenot family. After the frightful St. Bartholomew 1\1assacre of I 5 71, they fled to Switzerland where they stayed until in 1746. In September 27th of that year, they be came in the ship Ann Galley and landed in Philadelphia. They went to Lancaster County. The father was John Louis LaMance, entered by the purser as Johann Ludwig Lauman, which was a pretty fair German transla tion of the name. The wife's name was Margaret. She outlived her hus band some years. Her sons J ames2 and John LaMance2 were in the Revolu tionary War. James was in the 14th Maryland Regiment. He died in the service. He left daughters Sarah and Ellen. John, whose line we trace, was born in Lancaster County, in 1756. He died in 1831 in Indian Tavern, Tenn., at the home of his son Jacob.3 He married Malinda Jane Charleton, twenty years younger than himself, in 1793, when he was 37 and she was 17. See CHARLETON. He served in the defense of Lancaster in 1781, in the Fourth Battalion of Lancaster County, Pa., Troops, under Captain Ewing. He served again in the Lancaster County Militia in 1 784 in the Frontier defense against the Indians under Captain Joseph Huber in the Sixth Company of the Sixth Battalion. See the muster roll of the second section of the Eighth Battalion of Lancaster Troops. "John Lauman, April 29, 1781, to June 21, 1781, when duty ended."

He has Lucy,3 born 1794, Jacob Charleton,3 born in 1 798, whose line is traced, and a James,3 an Isaac,3 and Abraham.3 Jacob La Mance3 lived in Tennessee, and later in Georgia. A fine man. He was married ( 1 ) to Louisa Winters, the daughter of a veteran, Moses Winters. See article \V INTERS. They were married in 181 7, and Louisa was the mother of ten.

La Mance of above, was born 1819, and died in 1893, in Pine ville, Mo. He was married in Spring-Place, Georgia, to Cynthia Hannah Caldwell, See article CALDWELL. She was a fine woman of the best Southern type. J.P., the husband, was one of the most courteous and affable and obliging of men. He was a merchant as was his son Marcus after him. J.P. was a Lieutenant in the Civil War under General Stand Waitie of the Second Cherokee Regiment, on the Con£ederate side. His Captain was Hugh Tinnin. Cynthia was a most devoted mother. They were the parents of eight. Jane,5 Augusta5 and Charley5 died in childhood, two of them in three days. Addie5 married James Brunk, and she, he and their only son all died in youth or middle age. Edward5 is single. George5 married Augusta Testerman and he and his family live in California. Jennie married M. R. DeGroff, raised a fine family. Both she and her husband are dead. Marcus married Lora S. Nichols. The finest of men. He died June 4, 1906, and his widow, the author, lives with her only child, Mrs._Lora L. Watkins, in Lake \Vales, Florida. M. N. La Mance enlisted December 5, 1863, in Company Hof the 8th Missouri Regiment, C. S. A., and served until honorably discharged, at Alexandria, La. He was in the Battle of Mansfield, La., and the Red River Campaign. He served under General E. Kirby Smith, in Parson's Brigade, under Lieut.-Col. Switzer. He reached his home in Pineville, at the close of the war, to find the town burned, and dog fennel growing in the middle of the street. For six weeks after his return the family had nothing to eat but wild blackberries and shorts cooked up into a sort of a hasty pudding. He set to work with a will, and soon conditions changed for the better. He was a merchant 41 years and secretary of the Masonic Lodge almost as long. LA VALLEY. An old and noble family in France. Because of the persecution in France, in 1742, Peter LaValley, his son Michael, his daughter 1 97

Marie (La Valley) King, her husband, Magdalen King, and five children came to America and settled in West Greenwich, R. I. Four more were born in Rhode Island. The line of Nichols in the Kezia Waltman Nichols section of Chapter XXIV descend from two of these children. Susan (Susanna) King, born in France. Married Job Nichols. See NICHOLS. Samuel King was baptized April 21, 1745. He died in New York about 1820. Susan's son, David Nichols, married his cousin, Samuel King's daughter Nancy. Thus two strains of both King and La Valley blood came to the sons and daughters of their son Nelson, who married Kezia Waltman.4 LuTz. All of chapter. LYTLE. See section in article WILSON.

McLANE. All of those of the House of Valentine Waltman the Younger, Chapter XXIV, and the lines of related Lytles, Nobles, and Wil- sons, have the blood of the McLanes. · McLane (McLean), are from one of the great clans of Scotland.

Their hereditary bards were the McN eals, their hereditary doctors the Beatons. Dr. John Beaton, the last Seneschal Chaidh (genealogist) of the clan, traces the descent back to Gilleain ~1ac, an ancient Irish monarch.

Then they be come monarchs over Scotland. The Mc Leans were pure Highlanders. The founder of the Clan was Gilleain na Tuaigle, i.e., Gilleain of the Battle-ax, who lived in Argylshire. They are surely traced to Douglas of Scone, who flourished A. D. 1100, an influential and just man. He was the great-great-grandfather of this Gil leain, and Gilleain's mother was Rath, a sister of the great Warrior Somer lad. About 1250, Gilleain the Battle-Ax chose him a clan crest, a battle-ax between a laurel and a cypress branch. At the Castle of Gylen the clan long kept King Robert Bruce's brooch of Lorn. Then came Gille Losa ( Servant of Jesus.) After him came Malcolm, who fought at the Battle of Bannochburn.

Sir Lachlain Mc. Lean was killed on the battlefield of Flodden, _when the heads of thirty great families of Scotland fell.

The McLeans (Mc. Lanes) blindly followed the fortunes of the Pre tender "Bonny Charlie," Charles Stuart. The battle of Culloden in 1746 spelled defeat. They were almost ruined. No longer a great clan. They had been a power, or so their bards claimed, since the days that their Irish forefathers had followed Saint Columba in A. D. 563 to Scotland from Ire land. In the time of James I of Scotland they were the most powerful clan in the Hebrides Islands. In 149 3 they were in possession of most of the Island of Mull, where their famous Castle of Duart was, all of the Islands of Coll, Tiree, and part of Islay, Scarba, Morvein, Lochaber, Knapdale and other islands. - Prof. John Stuart Blackie says, "There were mighty men in Mull in those days, and the McLeans were among the mightiest. If not always wise in action, they were generous in purpose and noble in conduct." William Allen, the Scotch poet said, "The McLeans were all brave men, all Hectors, and the finest swordsmen of the Highlands." Mull is a rugged island with mountains and a coast line of 300 miles. The Castle of Duart is built at the foot of a mighty crag of sheer precipice. It is still standing, with wall 14 feet thick. Seven miles from Mull are those marvels of nature that thousands of tourists flock to see, Fingal's Cave, wi::h the most wonderful stalactites in the world, and the Pillars of Staffa, esteem~d one of the wonders of the world. The Island of Coll, from whence came Alan McLane, the head of the American McLanes, is also seven miles from Coll. Dugald McPhail sings of the Isle of Mull,- ''Oh the island of Mull is an isle of delight, With the wave on the shore and the sun on the height. With the breeze on the hills and the blast on the Ben, And the old green woods, and the old grassy glen." 200

Dr. Adam Clarke, the famous writer of Clarke's Commentaries, is a son of the clan through his mother. There were many poets and writers in the clan. Twenty-four poems have been written on the legends of the clan, and Sir \Valter Scott has preserved many of these traditions. A favorite theme has been the tragedy' of Duart, that castle that stands upon a rise 100 feet above Duart Bay, while behind it is the 1000 feet of a sheer cliff. The great Castle with its 14-foot walls was considered impreg~ nable, and is pictured on the Coat-of-Arms of the Mc. Leans. There was once a haughty Lord McLean. For some offence he had one of the clan publicly whipped. Smarting with rage and humiliation, the fell ow when he was released snatched the babe of the Lord from its mother's arms and swiftly ran up a steep path to the top of the high cliff and held out the child as though to fling it into the sea. The mother of the child got down on her knees and begged for its life. He demanded that Lord McLean be whipped as he had been. The father consented and was scourged, but the madman suddenly sprang from the cliff, with the child in his arms, and fell into the sea a thousand feet below. The mother fainted and never smiled again. The body of the man was recovered and hung upon a gallows.

Alan Mc. Lane, (Alan was a family name, as were Alexander and Hec tor), was born on the Island of Coll about 1 719. He came to America in 1740. He was a tall, strong, hardy and robust man, with the fresh Scotch coloring and quick step of the Highlander. The same year he arrived, there came a Scotch-Irish family into the same neighborhood from Ireland, the Erwins. Many of the Scotch that had supported Oliver Cromwell were treated with great rigor after his death. Many went to Ireland. The Erwins among them. When it was made unpleasant for them there, fully half of these Protestant Scotch-Irish came over to America in ten years' time, Samuel Erwin among the rest. His family were nearly grown, for he was a man of thirty-five and had married young. His wife was Anne Wilson, to whom her brother, Thomas \Vilson left a legacy. They had at least three children and may have had more. There were certainly two sons, Henry and Samuel Erwin Jr., and an older sister, Jane. The two emigrants struck up a friendship, and about 1745 Alan married Jane Erwin. Their sons were the "Fighting McLanes," Col. Allen McLane, Major Daniel McLane, Captain Samuel McLane, Ensign Robert McLane, killed in 1777, and a daughter Rebecca, who married Andrew "\Vilson, an other Revolutionary soldier. Col. Allen Mc. Lane was the most famous of these brothers. He built himself a fine home when materials were cheap and labor low, so that a dollar's purchasing power was three times what it is today. A house that then cost $14,000.00, was indeed a mansion. He married Rebecca Wells, and high honors came to his family. His son, Louis Mc. Lane ( 1716-1857), was Congressman, Senator, Secretary of the Treasury under Jackson, Minis ter to England and President of the first American Railroad, the Baltimore and Ohio. Louis' son, Robert Milligan McLane, was Congressman, Gover- 201 nor of Maryland, Commissioner to China, and successively Minister to both France and Mexico. After the Revolutionary \Var was over, \Vashington made Allen Mc. Lane U.S. Marshal. Jefferson made him Collector of the Port, and Mary land made him a Supreme Judge. He was a man of strong brain and prodigious strength. Some claim he was 7 feet high! Others that he was 6 feet, 11 inches! A much more likely account says he was 6 feet and 5 inches tall. He was Lieut. in 1775, Captain in 1776, Major in 1777, Colonel in 1777 and for the rest of the war. Twentv tales have been told of his dashing, darec..devil escapades. He had all so"rts of adventures, took desperate chances, did the things that others thought were impossible, and succeeded. Yet he was cool and planned out even his most spectacular adventures. He was a man of quick decision but of sound judgment. \:Vhen things were going badly for our outnumbered and poorly armed troops, and the British were in possession of Philadelphia, Washington put Col. Mc. Lane in charge of the city's defenses. When the war got under headway he saw that Philadelphia would be come a storm center. He moved his family into Maryland for safety. His father died in 1776. No sons were left at home to protect the mother and sister. Allen thought it was unsafe for them to live as far out as they did without protection. So he moved them into his beautiful home in the suburbs, where his mother could have not only all comforts, but luxuries. After Col. Allen M. Lane was put in charge of the country bordering Philadelphia, he harassed the enemy day and night. There was no cessation, when the troops were all but starving in Valley Forge, he intercepted sup plies for the British and turned them over to the American forces. He was in the Battles of Monmouth, Long Island, Paulus Hook, \\.,.hite Plains, and many others. After the British_took the city of Philadelphia in September, 1777, and he captured so many of their supplies that next winter, they took reprisal. With a force they swept out to his house, knowing full well that there were no men folks there, as only his mother and sister were left, and deliberately burned the fine old home to the ground. Then they retreated to the city again. It is said that Jane McLane taunted the officers as the house burned that her son could do them more injury in an hour than they could do her in a day. Col. Mc. Lane heard of the burning. He spurred his horse up to the ruins. His mother met him at the gate and barred the way. The daughter of one colonel, the mother of another, Jane l\1c. Lane had as unconquerable spirit as they. "Why are you here?" she demanded. "I heard that the Red-coats had burned vou out. I came here to look after you and to get you into a place of safety:" Drawing herself up as might a queen, Jane McLane answered him: "I've always been able to look after myself and I am able to do it yet. Your duty is to fight the British. Do your duty. Go back to your command." 202

Allen knew his mother. \:Vith a smile and a bow he galloped off and left her. Jane Mc Lane could take care of herself. Benjamin Franklin interested her in silkworm culture once. She raised her own silkworms, fed them on mulberry leaves from her own trees, prepared her own raw silk from the cocoons, spun, and wove a plaid silk, beautifully fine, soft and even, and she wove enough of it for dresses for herself, her daughter Rebecca, who mar ried Andrew Wilson, and for each of her daughters-in-law, a half dozen in all. The author has seen pieces of this silk. · Rebecca is supposed to have been the only daughter. See article, WILSON.

MILLER. A strain of Miller blood is in all of the lineage of Andrew Waltman.2 A double strain is in the line of Susan \:Valtman-Dugan-Miller,3 and in all of the many descendants of Abraham \Valtman,3 her brother. Abraham's daughter and son-in-law's marriage, (Hannah Waltman-Walt man and Abram \:Valtman caused this double strain to be duplicated, mak- 203 ing four s~reams of :Miller blood. These family lines are given in Chap ters XXIV and XXV. John l'v1iller1 and his wife Dorothy were German Pietists, something like the Quakers, but with a mystical turn. For the sake of religious liberty they came to Pennsylvania, on the personal invitation of "\Xilliam Penn. They came August 20, 1683, and settled near Philadelphia. Albrecht (Albert) lvliller,2 their son, settled in Plainfield Township in Northampton County. He was born in Germany. He died in 1763. He married Christina, the daughter of Belthazar Schi:5:ffer, ( Schaffer or Shafer later), a religious refugee from the Palatinate, Bavaria and old Swabia. Belthazar was a fine, determined, Christian man. He was an ancestor of all of those recorded in Chapters XXIV and XXV. He was one of the very earliest religious refugees from that part of Germany; coming in 1708. They were such believers in peace, that though some of their family were killed by the Indians, some of the first, second and third generations refused to take up arms even to protect their homes. Albrecht and Christiana had the">e children: Henry Miller,3 called Honicklc. He was a soldier in Lane's Regi ment in Pennsylvania Artillery. John Nicholas Miller,3 who married Ann Gottwine. He died in 1765. His son Captain John Miller was killed in the Revolutionary \;Var. His son Jacob and four daughters lived to marry. Adam Miller3 married Anna l\1aria Bierly, sister to Conrad Walt man's wife.

Daniel l\Jiller,6 (Jacob, Jr.,5 Jacob, Sr.,1 Adam,3 Albrecht,2 1 John ), was born 1779 and died in 1851. He married Hannah Fowler, and much of their life story has been told in the Abraham \Valtman section of Chapter XXV. Roxana Miller,' 1803-1868. See the section mentioned above.

NICHOLS SECTION NICHOLS AND KING LINES All of Kezia (Waltman) Nichols lineage are descended from the Nichols line from vV ales The stem-father of the Nichols family was Nichols (Nigell or Nicol); de Albine, who came to England from Normandy a little before the Con quest. The branch of the family that intermarried with the Greenes of Rhode Island came from Wales, where they were prominent personages. Hon. Thomas Nichols1 came from Wales to Rhode Island and in 1659 mar ried Hannah Griffin. He was Deputy Governor of the colony. His son, Captain Benjamin,2 was-also Deputy, the highest office in the colony. The second son of the emigrant, Hon. Thomas Nichols, was "Aristo cratic John,2" who married Hannah Formen. Then two more Johns in suc cession. The last of these three Johns married Ann Greene. Counting her American ancestry alone, for the present passing over her long European and English pedigree, she was the fourth generation from old John Greene, the emigrant and Indian trader of Quidnessett, Rhode Island. John Greene of Quidnessett was born on "\Vyke street, a suburb of Gillingham, England, in Dorsetshire, in 1606 and died in Quidnessett in 169 5. He came to Massachu setts in 163 5, followed Roger \Villiams to Rhode Island and was a leader. He married a young widow, Mrs. Joan Beggerly, of Massachusetts. Ann came through this descent. Lieut. John Greene2 married NICHOLS COAT OF Abigail Wardwell of Massachusetts. His son, ARMS ""\V ealthy" John Greene,3 married Ann (Nancy) Hill. 206

Their daughter Ann4 married the third John Nichols in 1733. Their son Job Nichols married a French girl, Susannah King, the granddaughter of an English-born grandfather, John King, who had as many and nearly as marvelous adventures as Sinbad the Sailor. His father, mother, brothers and sisters all died of the Black plague in' London when he was a child. He was cheated out of his patrimony, but he got along. He sailed the Seven Seas, was captured by Kidd the pirate and carried along as a captive for some months. He escaped off the Coast of Algiers, Africa, and next turned up in Marseilles. His only son was Magdalen Kirig. Magdalen fell in love and married Marie, the daughter of Peter La Valley, a staunch Protestant. Six children were born to them in France, and others later in Rhode Island. France would not allow them to baptize their children, and enforced many unjust laws against them because of their religion. So with Marie's father and brother, Michael La Valley, they came to Rhode Island. Their daughter Susan married Job Nichols. The blood was as good as his own, for the La Valleys were of an old, blue-blooded family. Their son David5 was in the Revolutionary \Var, although but a lad when he first enlisted. He was born in 1763 in Providence, R. I. In 1 777, when only fourteen years old, he was a drummer boy in Captain Enos

Parker's Company and Col. Benjamin Symond's Regiment of Berkshire2 Mass. He enlisted August 12, and was discharged August 19, six days after, on the occasion of the Regiment being detached from the Berkshire, Mass., Militia to re-enforce the Continental Army at Bennington, Vermont. Never theless he appears to have continued with the Berkshire Militia as their drummer, and is listed later. See page 419, Vol. XI, Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors. He was only fifteen when he enlisted again, June 14, 1718, in Captain Philip Traffern's Company in Col. Topham's Regiment of Rhode Island Troops. He was discharged March 16, 1779. The family firmly believe that he enlisted again in a Rhode Island Regiment, but lack the documentary proof. The author has his gun that he carried in his last enlistments, and that was afterwards carried by his son John in the "'v\r ar of 1 812. At the age of twenty-four David married his cousin Nancy King. She was his distant cousin on the Greene side; John1 the Indian trader had a son, Lieut. James,2 who married Elizabeth----. Next came a son John3 of Bristol, and his wife was Elizabeth Parsons. She was a granddaughter of two old-time patriarchs, Hugh Parsons and Elder Obadiah Holmes. Next came James Greene. 4 He married Elizabeth Straight. She came from Captain Thomas Straight1 of the Pequot "\Var of 1637, Henry,2 John,3 who married a young widow, Mrs. Rose (Rosanna) "\iVestcott-Smith. She was the mother of nine children of whom Elizabeth was the oldest. Elizabeth Straight married the James Greene already traced. They had seven children. The youngest, Deborah, was married to Samuel King, April 15, 1766. Her next older brother, Abel Greene, married her sister-in-law, Ann (Nancy, as all Annas were called), King. Deborah was born September 23, 1744, and died in 1812. Samuel King was born in February, 1745. He 207 died in 1829. Deborah was "a good-natured" Greene as that family called that type of placid, never-get-angry persons that were so often found in the family. Samuel brought her as a bride to his mother's home, and it is said that the affection of those two women, mother and daughter-in-law, was deep and sincere. Samuel King was an expert millwright. He built mills all over Rhode Island. Cider mills, woolen mills, cloth mills, fulling mills, saw mills and grist mills, and every mill was honestly and soundly built, a credit to his workmanship. Three descendants of his were also noted millwrights. Samuel King served in the Revolutionary War. He served in a com pany of Rhode Island Militia under Captain Samuel Wilbur. He served before that in the Fifth Company of the Third Battalion of Scituate, of Providence County, R. I., in 1776-1777. At the close of the war, the govern ment issued a statement of soldiers to whom pay was still due. He was listed twice, with an aggregate of $267.00 still due him. See Record and Pension Office Official Document, of July 1, 1908, No. 658329. Also Pay Abstracts issued by the Government in 1783. Nancy King, their daughter, was remarkably talented. Iler horrified parents took her out of school at the request of the old-time school master who said, "l caught Nancy working cube root. That is not a proper study for a girl! She worked an example I could not work, or any of the school . board. That shows disrespect for her instructors. She has been studying history, and that after I forbade it. There will be insubordination in the school if that girl keeps on." She was given a hearty scolding and told to "behave herself." :; Then her twice-over cousin, David Nichols, in 1787 came courting. He was fine looking, a good singer, a violin maker when such a thing was most unusual, and a maker of fine furniture. Her father was so gratified that Nancy would marry that he imported her wedding dress for her from France. He said to the: happy bridegroom, "David, Nancy is a good girl, but she has some fool notions. Hold her in!" So when David caught her with a nearly completed "History of Pioneer Times in Rhode Island," he burnt up her manuscript as a religious duty. Poor Nancy! She lived 100 years too soon. She was the mother of fourteen children. The youngest one of all was Nelson Irvine Nichols, born May 12, 1811. He died February 3, 1865. He was the one who married Kezia \Valtman, and he was in every respect worthy of her. His mother died in 1820, in Pompey, N. Y. His father died in 1839, and was buried in Sharon Center, Ohio.

SCHMOYER. Rev. Melville B. C. Schmoyer, minister, writer, scholar, and very much interested in genealogy, gave the major part of the data, names and dates in Chapter XVII. He was born and raised in Lehigh County, Pa., among the old landmarks. Naturally he takes a great interest in his own lines of descent, the Waltmans, Moyers, Fatzingers and Schmoyers. He has been looking up the Schmoyer family- record and now has a list of between 13,000 and 14,000 names! Evidently there is no race suicide there. The name has changed from Schroyer, Schmeier, Schmeyer and Schmoyer and even Smoyer ! Philip Schmyer,1 coming probably from Mannheim or Zweibrucken, ar rived on the ship Pennsylvania to Philadelphia, September 18, 1733. His wife Maria, and two children, Elizabeth2 and John,2 came with them. He got a grant of 200 acres of land on the Little Lehigh, in Lower Macungie Township, Lehigh County.· Afterward other children were born, Peter,2 Daniel,2 Christian,2 Anna Margaretha,2 Michael2 and John Philip.2 Philip Senior died between 1750-1754. Daniel,2 next on the tracing line, wrote his name Schmeier. He was born about 17 3 8-3 9. He was married ( 1 ) to Catherine Scherer. Issue: Susannah,3 Daniel3 and Philip.3 (2) to Catherine Barbara Keiser, who was the mother of Maria Catherine,3 Peter,3 John,3 Elizabeth,3 Solomon,3 Sarah,3 Benjamin,3 Joshua3 and James.3 Daniel was a member of the Northampton County Militia, and of various orders and committees. He died September, 1812. He is buried in the Lehigh Church Cemetery, by the church he helped to build. Benjamin Schmeyer3 was born October 25, 1793. He married Maria, daughter of Jacob Kuntz. ( 1793-1838.) He owned and farmed the old homestead. They were the parents of an unnamed infant, Daniel,4 Maria A.,4 James,4 Samuel,4 John B.,4 Jacob T.,4 J. Henry,4 Sarah,4 Anna M.,4 Emmaline,4 Sarah Amelia,4 and Elizabeth.4 He died November 3, 1878. Thirteen children. - John Benjamin Schmeyer4 was born December 19, 1822. He married Maria, daughter of Jacob Lichtenwalner, (1824-1906.) Issue, a son, John B. J. Schmoyer,5 and a daughter, Susan B.5 John Benjamin Jacob Schmoyer,5 born February 14, 1848. He married Matilda E., daughter of Charles and Maria (Waltman) Meyer. See data in Chapter XVII, under section devoted to Peter Waltman and his descendants.

SHAFFER. (Schoffer, Schaffer, Shafer.) The Shaffers were a Ger man family of olden days, many of them scholars. It was Peter Schaffer that was a partner of John Gutenberg who made the first printing press in the world, in 1438. It was a rude wooden frame, with a moveable platen or fiat surface to hold the sheets of paper. The first types were of wood. The first book of all to be printed-and a great achieve ment it was to have sheets bound together in a volume-was the famous Gutenberg Bible that was printed somewhere between 1450 and 1455. The first to come to the new world was old Belthezar Schoffer. Already there was persecution for zealous Protestants in south Germany. As for Belthezar and some of his sons after him for a couple of generations, they held extreme views, which made THE FIRST PRINTING them particularlv obnoxious to the Catholic authori- PRESS ties.· H e was somet. h. mg o f a p·1et1st, . Q ua k er-1·k1 e, quite mystical and absolutely averse to war, even in self defense. When some of the Shaffers were killed by the Indians, some of their brethern re fused even then to bear arms against the Indians. But old Belthazar was not too meek to escape from injustice. He was one of the very first of all the Palatinates to seek a home in America. He came into Pennsylvania from 0 • 1~1""\.- \Jermany m 11ui:s. His daughter Christiana married Albrecht Miller, of her own faith. See article MILLER. Belthazar and his son Bartholomew were naturalized in Philadelphia April, 1719. The next in line of those intermarrying with the families of this book appears to have been George Bartholomew and his wife Margretta. Their daughter, Elizabeth Shaffer, married Captain Adam Zarfess in 1767; their eldest child, Anna Maria Margretta, was named Anna Maria after her father's grandmother, Anna Maria (Bierly) Miller, and her own grandmother on the other side, Margretta Shaffer. She was the foremother of all who are listed in Chapters XXIV and XXV.

WALLACE. See Article Caldwell for connection. The Caldwells in the tracing line were descended from the national hero of Scotland, Sir William Wallace, 1270-1305. He was the second son of Sir Malcolm Wallace of Renfrewshire. His story has been sung by all of the Scottish bards from Blind Harry, four centuries ago, to the present time, and told in "gestis" or story for more than six centuries. In his days there was war between England and Scotland. He took an active part. When the English appeared to have won they outlawed him. In the mountain fastnesses he gathered a band of patriots and led them to 210 great victories. In a few months King Edward again seemed the victor. Again \Vallace took the field, against great odds, and after a terrific battle, the English were repulsed. Later, reverses came and he and his men were hunted like wild beasts. He was captured, taken to London, and most un justly put to death. From that day the ,Martyred Patriot was the idol of Scotland. The very last male of his line left in Scotland was Herbert \Vallace, a man of the highest character. He emigrated to Virginia. He returned to Scotland on a visit. \Vhile there he had the- \Vallace Coat-of-Arms emblazoned. \Vhen he called for it, the Earl of Buchan was in the shop. Not in the least suspecting who he was and indignant that an upstart should claim the historic arms, the Earl said sternly, "Sir, there is only one man left in the world that has a right to that Coat-of-Arms, and that man lives in the Colony of Virginia!" Herbert \Vallace1 married a \Vidow Douglas. By her he had three sons, James, \Villiam and Matthew, and those three sons married three sisters by the name of Young, everyone of them brilliant, brainy women. In the Revolutionary \Var, one of these sons, either James or \Villiam, had a son, Captain Adam \~tallace,3 a brave and gallant officer, who was killed in the war. Matthew's son, Newton,3 was also a captain, and he, too, was killed. Matthew2 married Harriet (?) Young. They had four sons and four daughters, of whom Harriet3 married James P. Henderson, son of Dr. Kearns Henderson, and grandson of Thomas Henderson, the emigrant. Their daughter Lily4 married John Craighead Caldwell, son of the famous Rev. Dr. David Caldwell. From this last couple come all of the Caldwells on this tracing line.

OTHER LINES OF \VALTMAN SECTION

"These sought for their register among those th.at were recovered by genealogy. "-1\/ehemiah, vii, 6 4

WALTMAN, OTHER LINES NOT RELATED TO CONRAD It is not at all surprising that among the many millions of people in Germany, when the fashion of surname taking came in like a flood, that more than one family, absolutely independent of any other family, should have selected the same family name, that of \Valtman. It is a musical name and withal a poetical one, meaning a man of the woods. There are three other families of \Valtman in the United States besides the one of Conrad \.Valtman's descendants that we have been tracing. Two of them, the so-called Baltimore line, and the Emanuel line may be and probably are related. In the first days there was a slight but consistent dif ference in the spelling. Conrad's line alone at first spelled the name W-a-1-t-m-a-n. The other lines doubled the "n," or inserted a "d," as in Waltmann or \Valdtmann. Moreover, for more than 100 years, Conrad's 2 I I line wrote the name interchangeably \Valdman or \\Taltman. The other lines never used the \Vald for the first syllable. The first Waltman line that is not of Conrad, is a Jewish one. The author has herself talked to some of this line. It dated no farther back than the time of Frederick the Great, just before the Revolutionary \Var. He required all Jews to assume a surname. They chose largely nature and poetical names, Rosenstone, \\'altman, etc. This is not a large family, and seems to be confined almost exclusively to southern Pennsyl-vania, and does not mix with the Gentile \Valtmans. The second or Baltimore line came about the middle of the 1700's, a few years after Conrad came. The first one came to Baltimore. Most of his sons, or perhaps all, came on to Pennsylvania, settling mostly in Berks and York Counties. May the author here give her theory as to the origin of these other Waltman names, which may or may not be a correct solution? After the Thirty Years' War, 1618-1648, which ended so disastrously for the Protestants in Bavaria and the Palatinate, things were made hard for them. The few great nobles that were Protestants, ( and about the greatest of these in Bavaria were probably the Frundsberg-\Valtmans), were allowed to follow their religious customs, and those other Protestants who lived on their estates or in the villages of their estates were considered as "protected" by them, and allowed the same privileges. The name was a real protection to them_ So naturally they were spoken of as the Schmidts at "\Valtman's, or the Schaffers at \Valtman's, etc. This cumbersome and long name was bound to be shortened in everyday usage, and then these retainers and proteges were called \Valtman also. To illustrate: In those same troublesome days for the Protestants in southern, Germany a number of related families by the name of Van Isaacs fled first to Holland, and later came to America. From where their settle ment was in Holland their Dutch neighbors spoke of them as Oop (up) der Groff. There is the documentary proof that for 100 years, even after they came to Pennsylvania, they tried to hold on to both the old and the new names. They wrote their names "Dirck Van Isaacs Oop der Groff," and "Herman Van Isaacs De Groff," but they lost out and all of these families are called De Groffs today. When Valentine vValtman died not far from 1 7 5 0 in Bavaria, leaving the old Countess Barbara alone to protect them, our theory is that some of those southern Protestants that had adopted the name \Valtman-still spell ing it differently, however,-came to America then, fearing evil days at home. The old Countess died in February, 1762, and Conrad was in Amer ica. The authorities had no one to hold them in check, and we know they made conditions very oppressive to those not of their faith-and right about this time the second set of these "other" \Valtmans began to come over. This second set of \\T altmans is what is known as the Emanuel \Valtman line, as he was the father and grandfather of the rest. \\Te may not have all of his sons' names. Only occasional were the names of the wives, or daugh ters or minor sons under sixteen given. These \Valtmans appear to have gone mostly to the southeastern counties of Pennsylvania. One family went 212 to Virginia, and was headed by an ancestor named Emanuel. He certainly was not the Emanuel, the emigrant head of the line, who certainly died, full of years, and was buried in St. Mary's Cemetery, not far from Philadel phia, October 4, 1808. But the mystery clears up at once if he had a name sake son or nephew, or uncle, another E~anuel, who either came with him in 1767, or came before that time. It would seem that the Virginia Emanuel was perhaps an uncle of the Pennsylvania Emanuel, as he was an older man. They were of the same family for the name Emanuel was borne by no other Waltman branch whatever. Whatever their origin, it is a bit amusing to see how satisfied each line of Waltman is in regard to its ancestry. "Our fathers wrote their name with a von, showing they were of good blood," writes the Baltimore line. "We had back in our line a Princess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha," says the daughter of the Emanuel Waltman line. And, of course, the Conrad line has the proof that they descend from the Counts von Frundsberg. Everybody ought to be happy!

· THE BALTIMORE LINE

"A stranger .... and asojourner."-Psalms, xxix, 12

The head of this line came to Baltimore not far from 1750. All agree upon that. Then his sons came to Pennsylvania in a few years, fifteen or twenty years later. It is possible that some of his children remained in Maryland, but we have not been able at the time this book goes to press, June, 1928, to discover any. They were a money-making set, apparently, for nearly all of them in the 1780's and 1790's paid a good sized tax for those days, and owned large farms. No trace whatever was found of. Revolutionary War service. One of the line thought they had a Ludwig that served, but he was their neighbor, Ludwig, son of Conrad Waltman, who went to the southern part of the state. The stem-father of the Baltimore Vv altmans is thought to have been Heinrich1 (Henry). His sons came to Berks and York Counties, Pennsyl vania. They appear to have been these. Adam Waltman.2 Paid a heavy tax for those days. He was single in 1781. He disappears in the records and may have died. He was in Here ford Township, but had property also in Heidelberg Township. Amos Waltman.3 Well-to-do. Single in 1781. He was married be fore 1790, and had 200 acres of land. He lived in Bethlehem Township, Washington County. Lodowick (Ludwig) Waltman,3 who was listed as having 171 acres in 1779. In 1790 he had a wife and four children. It is expressly stated he was not John Ludwig Waltman who came in 1766. Henry Waltman,3 York Township, York County. It is thought that he had these two sons, who were certainly brothers. He had a wife and four unmarried children in 1790. 213

John Waltman,4 single in 1778. Married in 1780. Paid taxes in 1783, on what appears to be land obtained from his father. Land in Bucks County. Henry Waltman, Jr.4 He was single in 1779, but married in 1781. It is indicated that from hi:µi comes this line in York County. (In 1790 he had a daughter and two small sons.) Henry Waltman,5 1798-1848. He married Helena Rupp. Susan Waltman,6 born December 6, 1839. Died February 5, 1880. She was born at Mt. Joy; married Joseph Boude Atlee. Captain H. B. Waltman,6 born November 25, 1838. He lived at least part of his life in York. In 1876 he married Sarah J. Harmon. Their children were Daisy H. and Harry J. There may have been other heirs. He enlisted in Company G of the Ninth Pennsylvania Regiment in the Civil War. He was commissioned Second Lieutenant in 1861., and Captain in 1864. He was foreman of the machine works at Mt. Joy in Lancaster County. In 1882 he was Commander of the Sedgewick Post, No. 37.

This so-called Baltimore line has been exceedingly difficult to trace. The data has been mixed up and obscure. There may be errors in this table, but apparently this is correct.

THE EMANUEL WALTMAN OF PENNSYLVANIA SECTION

"He bringeth out those which are bound with chains."-·-Psalms, lxviii, 6

There are many descendants from Emanuel Waltman. We do not know all of his children. The ships' lists of those days rarely gave any but the heads of family names, and the sons over sixteen. Here is the available data: John Ludwig Waltmann.2 Came in the Ship Chance, Charles Smith, Captain, via Rotterdam, Holland, and by Cowes, England. Landed at Philadelphia September 23, 1766. Hannes Waldtmann, on the same ship. This may have been his wife, although women's names are rarely given. George Jacob Waltmann, Ship Crawford, Charles Smith, Captain ( same captain as for the first two mentioned), landed October 26, 1768. Two years later than the first ones to come over of this line. Emanuel Waltmann, in the same ship, the Crawford, same captain, same date. Doubtless with his family. As he died "advanced in years," in October, 1808, he was the father. This son George Jacob2 was over sixteen, so he was listed. No other sons appear on any record. But Johannes Walt man, probably a grandson or nephew, came in the Ship Tiger in 1776. By far the most of the W altmans of Emanuel's line came from the son . George Jacob.2 The father died in 1808 and was interred in St. Mary's Cemetery. See Philadelphia Records and Emigrants' list, page 486, Pa. Archives, Series 2, Vol. II(?). Also Rupp's 30,000 Names. George Jacob Waltman2 had two sons who went to Bedford County in 1 790. Samuel was not married at that time. George was, but had at that time no children. Their descendants say the name was Von Waltman. 214

She was born October 12, 1823. Edwin Waltman.6 Married, had children. Born May 30, 1855, in York, Pa. H.B. Waltman, cashier of the Central National Bank, York, Pa. This may be intended for Harry B. \Valtman, the son of George Henry Waltman.6 Joseph Boude Waltman.6 Married and had children. George Henry Waltman.6 These last two were twins, born October 18, 1857.

One of these two brothers, Harry B. or Guy, had Carrie8 and the other 215 one had }... rthur G.,8 who has a daughter Jane A.,9 born in 1920. Carrie 'Xaltman8 married a Mr. Briner. This is an unsatisfactory page, owing to the scant material furnished us.

Samuel Senior ,4 ( George,3 George J acob,2 Emanuel.1) owned 15 0 acre~ of land in Bedford Countv in 1792. Samuel \Valtman, Jr} married Susan Atlee of an old English family. _.\._ H. \Valtman,6 born in 1835, in Berks County. Susan \Valtman 7 married an Altee. Alfred Waltman. 7 :viary \Valtman7 married a Mr. Hart. Julia \Valtman7 married a Mr. Jones.

Here is anoth..er family, plainly from the Emanuel line. The line begins with Isaac, who itevidently the grandson of one of the two brothers in Bed ford County in 1 790, George3 or Samuel.3 Isaac \Valtman,4 born about 1839. (---3, George Jacob,2 Emanuel.1) Jacob \Valtman,5 of Detroit, Michigan. Reuben \Valtman, 6 Quarryville, Pa. Lawrence \Valtman,6 Cornwall, Lebanon County, Pa. Elam \Valtman,6 Cornwall, Lebanon County, Pa. Jacob J. Waltman, Jr.,6 Reading, Pa. Daughter,6 who married E. C. Nawa.

Other \Valtmans, unknown as to origin: Edward \Valtman, Reading, Pa. Paul S. Waltman, Reading, Pa. :viax Waltman, Reading, Pa. The \Valtmans of the paragraphs above do not think they are related. But where two or three generations fail to keep their family records, it is easy to be mistaken about this.

G. \Valtman, Altoona, Pa. G. A. \Valtman, Bethlehem. The son of John Waltman, born Novem ber +, 1834, in Quakertown, Pa. John led a regular Sinbad the sailor, Robinson Crusoe life, all over the world. Settled down at Georgetown, Pa. Success£ ul. It is indicated that they belong to the Emanuel line.

Jacob \Valtman was married and living in Lovettsville, Virginia, when his son --- was born April 26, 1818. The child's mother died when her son was three weeks old and her sister raised him. The father, Jacob \Valtman, married again. Children of each marriage but names unknown, says the grandson, Will G. \Valtman of Bluemont, Virginia. That recurring name of Jacob points again to the Emanuel line. They are almost certainly descended from the Emanuel of Virginia. 216

SECTION OF THE LINE OF EI.VIANUEL v\TALTMAN OF VIRGINIA

"We be Brethren"

We were just going to press when the data for this section was received from Mrs. Laura St. Vincent Klick of Philadelphia. There doubtless is a considerable line of this man's descendants, but in this eleventh hour and fifty-ninth second, it is impossible to get hold of it. Similarity of names and other circumstances show this line to be related to the Emanuel Waltman line which came to Pennsylvania a generation · later. They were not father and son. They were uncle and nephew, these two Emanuels, or else cousins. Jacob of Lovettsville, Virginia-see para graph about him-was almost certainly a grandson of this older Emanuel, the Emigrant to Virginia. The only other family identified is the one to which Mrs. Klick herself belongs. EMANUEL WALTMAN/born 1715,inGermany. He died in 1784 in Loudon County, Virginia. He and his wife Margretha are buried in a Lutheran Cemetery in that county. MICHAEL WALTMAN,2 son of Emanuel of Virginia, some time after his father's death, came to Philadelphia, and there married, probably a little after 1790, Ann Eve Esting. See the Esting Genealogy as to that family. Ann Eve was a younger daughter of John Paul and Anna Christine (Bit tenbender) Esting. Her parents were married at St. Michael's (Zion) Church in Germantown, by no less a personage than the renowned Reverend Doctor Henry M. Muhlenberg, the Patriarch of the American Lutheran Church, and for many years overseer of all of the Lutheran Churches in America. A daughter of Michael and Ann Eve was Catherine3, born not far from 1800 or a little after. - She married a most eminent United States surgeon of the Navy, he holding this position from 1825 to 1872, a term of 47 years! He was James Montgomery Greene of the Irish Greenes, who are lineal descendants of the Earl of Tyr-Connel. He was born in Ennis-Killen in Ireland. DR. FRANCIS VINCENT GREENE,4 who followed in the footsteps of his father as a surgeon on the U. S. Navy. MARY ANN GREENE.4 MARGARET THERESA GREENE.4 CATHERINE ELLA GREENE.4 Dr. Francis Vincent Greene married Mary Margaret Hinkle Myers of Burke County, Pa., January 27, 1857. They had a son and daughter. James Montgomery Greene.5 Laura St. Vincent Greene.5 She was married first to Arthur Sylvester in 18 8 7. He died in 18 92, leaving her a young widow with two little children. After living a widow for a quarter of a century, she married second, Clarence K. Klick of Philadelphia. KING JOHN OF ENGLAND

:\1ildred Montgomery Sylvester,6 in 1913, married Rowland Johnson. Lawrence Sylvester6 married Consuelo Ruoff in 1917. He died young, their two children died, and Consuelo herself died ~larch 1, 1926. HER GREENE ,DESCENT In this same chapter is given a very condensed outline of the Greenes. The Irish Greenes are a wing of this same family. For twelve generations from Sir Alexander De Greene de Boketon they have exactly the same pedigree. Then they branched off to themselves, but were always proud to claim their kinship. Genealogists frankly acknowledge that there is not another family in the world that has as much and as manv lines of roval blood as the de la Zouche family, Earls of Brittany, France·, who came' over in 1066 with William the Conqueror. In their veins is the blood of nearly every European king as well as descent from the Roman and Byzantine, Parthian and Ar menian royal lines of Asia. Alexander de la Zouche was a great grandson of the Earl who came to England, a younger son. King John of most unhappy memory was on the throne. For a service of importance that Alexander rendered, King John in 1202 made him the munificent present of a great estate and lordship. Sir Alexander at once laid out a great and extensive park and stocked it with deer. In those days a park was called a "green," an enclosure a "ton," and a deer was a "hoc" or "buck." So he took the title of De Greene de Boketon, thP T .()rrl ()f thf" P::irk of thP nf'f"r f"n,losure. Thirteen years later this royal robber and oppressor, King John, was compelled by twenty-five of his great barons to grant his outraged subjects Magna Charta, and thus restore them justice and liberty. Sir Alexander was not at Runnymede, but he was heart and soul with the barons who forced this tyrant king to sign the charter. His name has been found supporting their action. Those were stormv times. So manv Crusades and wars decimated the nobles' ranks, and in s;ven generations'. time only twice was there a male left except the heir. Then came Sir Henry,7 Lord Comptroller of England, a master of law, and King Richard's chief adviser. He was the greatest land holder in all England. Then Bolingbroke, Henry IV afterwards, usurped the throne and won it. Sir Henry could have escaped but stayed to defend the young Queen. He was seized, and without the semblance of a trial was summarily beheaded in the Cathedral Square of Bristol, July 30, 1399. Be tween that and the time of the usurping king's death he had a half a dozen visits from Sir Henry's ghost, and each time the king went wild with terror. He made gifts to Sir Henry's sons and erected the pagoda-like "High Cross," adorned with life-size statues of the nobles that he slaughtered that day. It still stands there, more than 5 00 years after. The Seventy Years' \Var followed. The Greenes were all Yorkists. Henry VII settled it by promising to marry the Y orkist claimant, Princess Elizabeth. The Greenes loyally accepted this. In the revolts that followed 218 the surprising thing happened that Henry knighted, June 16, 148 7, on the Battlefield of Stoke, Thomas,8 a small child when his father was beheaded, and now an old, old man, making him Sir Thomas.9 On June 17, 1497, ten years later at the Battlefield of Blackheath near London, he knighted the son, making him a Sir Thomas9 also. Perhaps the only instance in histor}'. of a king knighting both father and son on the battlefield, and both his former enemies. A few months after he threw the second Sir Themas into the Tower, and there he died. And he turned the grudge he had against him to the injury of the son, John Greene10 the Fugitive. John Greene was the finest swordsman of the world in his day. He had carried that sword into eleven great battles. There is an old song or half chant, still extant that tells how his younger brother, Arthur, engaged in a duel over the fair hand of the Lady Arabella. John flew "with incredible haste" to the duelling place to find his brother's rival standing over Arthur's dead body "prone upon the ground." Seizing his "sword that never failed him," he dispatched him. The king seized upon this for a pretext, and John had to flee to keep his head upon his shoulders. The chant says he "went to Dane." (Denmark.) After a time he came back disguised, under the name of John Clarke and was not recognized. But he could not resist going to a tournament and himself made an exhibit of his sword skill. Placing a loaf of bread on the table behind him, he sent his sword swirling up and up, when it turned, descended, and came down upon the loaf of bread, cutting 219 it squarely into. A great shout arose, "John Greene or the Devil!" And again he had to flee, going to Ireland and dying there. Then Robert,11 Richard,12 Stephen,13 Nicholas,14 and then John,15 who went to Ireland, and where his son, Captain Godfrey, built a fine castle. In two or three generations more came Leticia, sole heiress of her father, Nut tall Greene, and to the great castle that he built at Kilmanaham, Kilkenny County, Ireland. She married her cousin, William Greene, by whom she had Col. Nuttall Greene, Jr. William died, and she married John Greene by whom she had three sons, all of whom came to America. This line we trace did not come from these three sons. But Col. Nuttall's son came, and was of the right age to fit into the picture. It is indicated that Dr. James Montgomery came from the Nuttall Greene line. Certainly from a near relative, if not that one, as the Irish Greens are all of this descent. See illustrations of King John and some of the tomb e:ff egies of the Eng lish ancestors buried at Green's Norton, England.

WATKINS. This relates to the line of Major J. C. Watkins, who mar ried the granddaughter of Kezia (Waltman) Nichols, Lora L. LaMance, in 1902. Watkin Watkins was a Welsh leader in 1410. He came to England and acquired Shotten. In i 539, at Shotten, there was a William Watkins. He had but one son, Humphrey, who married Dorothy Cartwright. Their only son was Francis who died in 1615. Francis' heir was William Watkins, who married Elizabeth Lee, daughter of Robert Lee, of the family afterwards so famous in all southern annals. Many consider that James Watkins, "Gentle man," was a younger son of this Francis, and own brother to William, the heir. He certainly handed down the name of Francis. In 1663 Burke described the Coat-of-Arms of the Watkins as "azure (blue) a fess (band) between three leopards' heads, passant de lis ( :flower de-luce or iris,) or (yellow) ; Crest, a griffin's head, gules, (red)." James W atkins1 had three sons, John, Edward and Francis, all of whom went to Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Thomas,3 a son of Edward,2 was in Virginia.

April 20, 1608, after a long and tempestuous voyage when all were given up for lost, the Ship Phoenix from London landed in Jamestown in Virginia. On board was this James Watkins, who was entered on the ship's records both as "gentleman" and as "souldier." He was a comrade of Cap tain John Smith whose life Pocahontas saved. Three months later Captain Smith set out with twelve men on "a vouyage of Discoverie." One of these men was James Watkins, described as a ''Souldier." They were much feasted by the Indians. But they had a good deal of sickness and one man died. They returned September 7, 1608. 220

On the 29th of December, 1608, Captain Smith set out again, and James· Watkins went with him. They did not return until in February, 1609. This time they were in much peril from Indian treachery. On the 16th of June, 1609, there was a third "voyage of Discoverie." In a letter written by Walter Russell and Amos T edkill we are told that "300 or 400 Indians, painted, grimed and disguised, were shouting, howling and crying. We rather supposed them to be so many devils." Captain Smith conciliated them and hostages were exchanged. James Watkins, hostage, was "sent 6 myles up the woods to their king's habitation." As Jamestown was settled in May, 1607, James Watkins was in Virginia the first year of the settlement, and more than twelve and a half years before the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. He seems to have married soon after this, and died a few years later, leaving John,2 Edward2 and Francis.2 Edward left a widow, Alice, nee Morton, and three sons. The Watkins here traced descend four times over from this Edward. The first descent: James,1 Edward,2 Henry Senior,3 Henry Junior,4 who lived five miles out from Richmond, Va. Thomas5 of Swift Creek, 1691-1760. He mar ried Jane Minter, the great-granddaughter of Bartholomy Dupuy. See article DUPUY. A very prominent family. Jane Watkins,6 daughter of Thomas of Swiftcreek, married her kinsman, Benjamin Watkins,6 and her line merges into his. His line is this: James,1 ~dward,2 Thomas Watkins3 the Faithful, Captain John,4 Nicholas,5 and then this Benjamin.6 Thomas ,:vatkins the Faithful3 was so obliging, so scrupulously honest, that he earned this soubriquet. His son, Captain John,4 was born about 1667 and died at 32. When but twenty, in the Indian-disturbances of 1687, the County Court commissioned him Cap tain. He married Anne, the daughter of Col. Nicholas Gassaway, a noted citizen and Indian fighter of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. From two of Captain John's sons, John, Jr.,5 and Nicholas Watkins/ the line of Wat kins we are studying come. John, Jr.'s5 Line: Stephen,6 born 1720, married Judith Dupuy, grand daughter of Bartholemy Dupuy and daughter of John James Dupuy. See DUPUY. Joseph,7 made Captain in 1780 over the First Company, of the Fourth Battalion of Northampton County Militia of Pennsylvania, where he was when the war broke out. He helped to defend Philadelphia. He later served as Captain, 1782, over the Third Company of the Fourth Bat talion of Philadelphia Troops. After the war he returned to Virginia, where he married Martha Mayo. See MAYO. Martha,8 their daughter, married Samuel Dyer, Jr., son of a Revolutionary officer. Their daughter, Martha Dyer,9 married as his second wife, the Hon. Joseph Watkin,7 State Senator. And this kinsman she married went back to Captain John Watkins4 4 of-nearly two hundred years before, even as she did. Captain John ; Ben jamin5 who married Jane Watkins, daughter of Thomas of Swiftcreek, as already told, with the Dupuy blood represented also; J oseph,6 who was third cousin to himself twice over! married Mary Carrington, and their son was 221 this Senator \-'latkins.7 It was the uniting of four strains of \Vatkins blood and four of I?upuy blood. Then came Prof. Joseph C. \Vatkins8 of Ennis, Texas, who married Bettie Alderson. See ALDERSON. Their son, Major Joseph C. \Vat kins, Jr.,9 a major in the \Vorld's \Var, married Lora Lee LaJ\1ance, the author's daughter. He died in 1926. His widow, his daughter, Loralee,1° wife of Robert Johnson, and little granddaughter, Bettie Jo,11 live in Lake vYales, Florida.

\:VESTCOTT. Stukely \Vestcott was born in Great Torrington, Eng land, "hotbed of Cromwellism," where also the Willards, the ancestors of Frances E. Willard lived, and the Hills with whom they intermarried. Stukely married Roseanna Hill. They came to Massachusetts. In 163 6 they followed Roger Williams into Rhode Island and in that first historic Baptist Church in Providence, the first one of that denomination in the entire Western Continent, they were among the historic twelve who joined. One of the twelve first baptized Roger Williams. That was Ezekiel Holliman. Then Roger \Villiams baptized the other eleven:, the two W estcotts among the number. Such staunch Baptists were they that it is said that for 15 0 straight years that every church member in all of their families were Baptists! Rhode Island is called the Baptist State. It had not only the first Bap tist Church in both Americas, but it has the most famous country church in the United States. At the time of this illustration, it had 460 members, over half of them of the blood of the Greens and W estcotts. The author is proud enough of their record, although she is not of their creed. Stukely's son Amos2 by his wife, Deborah Stafford, had .Rosanna,3 the grandmother of Deborah (Greene) King. See the article GREENE. 222

\VILLIAMS. See section of the Abraham vValtman family in Chap ter XXV. Alvin Waltman's wife was Phebe \Villiams, supposed to descend from Roger Vnlliams himself. Roger Williams2 and Mary, his wife, Joseph,2 Jeremiah3 who went to Long Island, Jeremiah,4 his son, born 1726. Her grandfather may have been the son of that Jeremiah.4 The author of "Long Island Genealogies," twice over expresses the probability of descent from Roger \Villiams. Jeremiahs ran all through this line.

"\:\TILSONS WHO DESCEND FROM THE SCOTCH PATRIOT, CAPTAIN THOMAS \VILSON

In the \Var against King James that was waged by the English people under \Villiam and Mary, it was necessary to subdue Ireland. A decisive victory was won, July 1, 1690, at the Battle of the Boyne. The first to cross the river in the face of the enemy's fire was Captain Thomas \Vilson. For this the English government gave him an estate at Coote's Hill, in North Ireland. The amount is variously stated, but it was probably 1800 acres. It supported a tenantry of sixty families. At the time of the great battle that 223

THE WILSONS ARE A SEPT OF THE GUNNS AND ENTITLED TO BEAR THEIR COAT OF ARMS AND WEAR THEIR TARTAN won all Ireland, Captain Thomas Wilson was married and had an only child, Hugh Wilson,2 then a year old. Hugh grew up a stirring, energetic man. He was markedly religious, a strong Presbyterian. He became a Ruling Elder. He married in Ireland, Sarah, the daughter of Ruling Elder Hugh Craig. She was the grand daughter of Sir James Craig who came to Armagh, Ireland, in 1610. His home was in Derry County. Things were none too pleasant with neighbors so different from him in religion and loyalty to the government, so Hugh Wilson sold his estate and came to Pennsylvania about 1726 or 1728. Authorities differ as to the year. Hugh Wilson became a prominent man in his new home. He laid out Easton, where he lived. He built the first -grist mill near that point. He was one of the first commissioners of the county. He died in 1773, on his farm in Allen Township. In the French and Indian War Hugh Wilson was captain over a company that fought Indians. The Wilsons were a sept of the Clan of Gunn, and were entitled to bear the same Coat-of-Arms. Two illustrations are given. One of a chieftain of the clan with the tartan plaid, and the other of the special Coat-of-Arms of the family. Every Wil COAT OF ARMS OF THE WILSON son is the "son of a Gun-n ! " SEPT OF THE CLAN OF GUNN 224

Hugh \Vilson was buried in the East Allen Cemetery, at the St. Peter's Presby terian Churchyard, l O miles_ from Easton. This illus tration of his gravestone is taken from Eyerman's Graveyards of Northamp ton, Vol. I, page 44. The cemetery is one mile north of Weaverville in East Al len Township. It wa$ laid out in 1740. Three of h:s sons are buried there also. Hugh and Sarah had a good sized family. Three of the sons were each a mer chant on a large scale. The GRAVESTONE OF HUGH WILSON son we trace is James Wi l- son, 3 born in 1 71 9 in Ireland. Some say he was seven, some that he was nine years old when he came to America. He had a thousand acres of land on the Forks of the Delaware. He married ( 1) Martha, a daughter of John Sterrett, who was sheriff of Lancaster County in 1 744. The Sterretts came in 1 722. He married ( 2) her sister Ann, who was the mother of Andrew.4 He died in 1793 aged 74. Andrew Wilson,4 was also a Continental soldier. His services are re corded in the Pennsylvania Archives, Series V, Vol. Ill and Vol. VII, page 5 3 7 and --. His service is also established from an official statement of P. C. Harris, Adjutant General of the United States, in a document dated September 7, 1921, now in possession of the author. It states "The records also show that one Andrew Wilson served in that war as a private in Cap tain James Taylor's Company, also designated as Captain Thomas Bonde's Company, (so designated in the Pennsylvania Archives records), 5th Penn sylvania Regiment, commanded by Col. Francis Johnson. He enlisted Janu ary I , 1 7 7 7, for the war; was promoted to corporal May 9, 1 7 7 7; was pro moted to sergeant June 1, 1 7 7 9, and his name last appears on the company muster roll dated September 1, 1 7 8 0." Signed, "P. C. Harris, Adjutant General." The Pennsylvania Archives says that, Sergeant Andrew \Vilson also served under Captain Thomas Bonde in the 5th Regiment of Pennsylvania Troops under Col. Francis Johnson, May, 1782. This officially adds an other two years to his service. He served in 1778-1 779 in the Eighth Class of the Sixth Company of the Sixth Regiment of the Sixth Battalion of Lan caster Troops, also date not given under Captain Joseph McClure and Col. John Rogers. Three Sixths in straight succession! His brothers, Lieut. James Wilson and Ensign Joseph vVilson, were in the same company. This service is supposed to have been in 1776-1777, and the first third of the year 2 2,.. .J

1778, when he joined "for the war," and in which he is recorded as still serving two years later. Andrew \Vilson was born October 18, 17 59. He married Rebecca Mc Lane, born about 1760, about 1777 or 1778. They both died before 1800. They had seven children, Polly, Henry, Kezia, Kerenhappuch, Jemima, John and Achsa. Their history will be given as briefly as possible. It is an important line, and cannot be dismissed without considerable detail.

THE CHILDREN OF ANDRE\V AND REBECCA (McLANE) \VILSON

"The fire shall e:uer be burning on the altar."-Lei:iticus, vi, 13

Their oldest child was Mary \Vilson, always called Polly. She was the mother of the Lytles, and also of a daughtr Rebecca, who married \¥il liam Noble, the head of an important line. Then Henry Wilson. Next came three daughters, named for the three daughters of Job. In Job, Chap ter XLII, verses 13-15 it is said: "He had .... three daughters. And he called the names of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch. And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them in heritance among their brethren." Andrew \Vilson proudly declared that these three daughters were as fair in his day as the Jemima, Kezia and Keren happuch were in Job's day. Then came a son John, who may have died, as no other record is given of him. Last of all came the daughter with the queer name of Achsa (pronounced Axa). Andrew, who gets the credit of naming his daughters, gave every girl a scripture name. Evidently he was a Bible student. Achsa was named for the daughter of Caleb. In the first chapter of Judges we are told, "And Caleb said, 'he that smiteth Kirjath sepher, (Hebron) and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.' And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brat.her, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask her father a field; and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said, ~\Vhat wilt thou?' And she said unto him, 'Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water.' And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs." So she was named after the strong-minded daughter of the strong armed general, who knew what she wanted and was not afraid to say so. POLLY \VILSON. It is evident that she was born late in I 778. Right after the Revolutionary \Var, came the outbreaks in the Valley of \Vyom ing in the years 1 784 and again in 1 785,-the last of those Indian wars. She was seven, or in her seventh year, so she used to tell her children, when this last outbreak came and the settlers fled in terror. In some way in the confu sion, little Polly wandered away, and it was three days before the almost famished child was found and restored to her parents. She was old enough to be in terror of the Indians; in the deep woods and sleeping on the hard 2 2.6 ground, hungry and thirsty, no wonder that Polly remembered those three dreadful days. A neighbor found her, gave her a bowl of bread and milk that she declared was the best thing she ever tasted. Polly married in Pennsyl vania, and her family wern born there. In the 1830's, probably in 1832, they came to Medina County, Ohio, where a bevy of \Valtman kin people also settled. Polly \Vilson-Lytle was a hard-working, sensible and God-fearing woman. She raised her children right. It is thought that some of her children stayed on at the old Pennsylvania home, in Huntington, Luzerne County. Together with her sister, Kezia Stackhouse, she raised her orphan sister, Achsa-\:Valtman. At fifty-two she broke up her home in Penn sylvania, and went with her married children to the virgin wilderness of Sharon Center, Ohio. She was probably a widow at this time. Her husband was Thomas Lytle.4 Ephraim Lytle,1 the Emigrant, came from Ireland in 1719 with a wife and year-old son, Andrew.2 This Andrew became a man of prominence. During the Revolutionary vVar, though al most sixty, he was the captain of a New York company of Militia. His military record is on file at the headquarters of the D. A. R., in Memorial Hall, \Vashington, D. C. Several of his descendants have obtained mem bership in the D. A. R. on his record. He died in 1795. His son, Andrew Lytle, Jr.,3 also served, and his military record is in the same place. He married Jane Gregg. He was born in 1744. The Lytles say that Thomas' father was Andrew, and that he was in the Revolu tionary \Var. So this is where he belongs. Thomas and Polly had these children: \Vilson,5 John,5 Joseph5 and Moses,5 and two daughters, Re becca5 and Mary.5 Polly died at the home of her son, Moses Lytle, and is buried in ·Seneca, Ohio. She was ninety-four at the time of her death. Wilson, 5 the oldest son, married Elizabeth Brittain, an aunt of Joseph Brittain who married \\Tilson Lytle's cousin, Margaret A. \Valtman of Chap ter XXIV. They were both fine people and much respected. They were the parents of seventee11 children, one of whom died young. Their children were Ann,6 \Vesley,6 Mary,6 John,6 James,6 Nancy,6 :Martin who died in infancy, Catherine,6 Hannah,6 Joseph,6 Jane,6 Thomas,6 Ellen,6 Margaret,6 Je:fferson,6 Abraham6 and \Vilder."

THE NOBLE SECTION OF WILSON-LYTLE DESCENT

"The niemory of the just is blessed."-Proverbs, x, 7

REBECCA L YTLE6 was one of the older children of Thomas and Polly Lytle. She was the granddaughter of Rebecca (Mc Lane) Wilson, for whom she was named. She was born and married in Luzerne County in Pennsylvania. Her older children were born there. She married William Noble, the grandson of Anthony Noble who came to America in 1743. William Noble was a fine man. He and his wife raised a family of whom they were justly proud. His sons held high office and were men of the highest integrity. Nine sons and one daughter. The order of births is not known beyond that Washington was the oldest and Fletcher Hayes was the youngest of the family. James Finley never married. A rolling stone. John removed to Kansas. Washington lived for a time at least in Sturgis, Mich. The others lived and died in Tiffin and Fostoria, 0. WASHINGTON NOBLE.7 He married Selinda Ruckle of Chap ter XXIV. She was a grand woman. They raised a large family, of whom we have but these names: 8 Henrv Noble. - Sarah· Noble.8 Gazelle Noble.8 CAPTAIN MONTGOMERY NOBLE.7 He married Ann -- and they had sons, Homer and Charles, both dead. He was a captain in the Civil War. Bella Noble married Mr. Mann. She lives in Fostoria, Ohio. Ella Noble married Mr. Hill. She lives in Fostoria, Ohio. vVARREN PERRY NOBLE.7 He was born in Luzerne County, Pa., June 14, 1820. He married Mary E. Singer. She died in 1853, leaving him with three children: Frederick Noble.8 He died in May, 1927. Belle N oble.8 She married a Mr. Bates of Dayton, 0. She died in 1912. No children. Mary Ellen Noble,8 called Itzie by the family. She married Silas Vv. Groff. Mary Ellen died in 1921. Her son, \Varren Noble Groff,9 died the next year. 229

\\rarren Noble lived single for seventeen years. Then he married :\1iss Alice M. Campbell. By her he had two daughters. Harriet Noble8 married E. H. Porter of Tiffin, Ohio. Edward Noble Porter.9 Alice Louisa Porter.9 Alice Noble8 married :\fark Leister. \Varren Noble Leister,9 born in 1914-. Everyone of the family was proud of vVarren. He was fine looking, courteous and dignified. He was one of the brainiest lawyers in the entire state, and represented his congressional district in Congress many terms. His record was without spot or blemish, and his private life was as clean. He stood ever ready to help the needy, and never stooped to crookedness or abuse of others. HARRISON NOBLE.' He was a colonel in the civil war, and was mayor of Fostoria, Ohio. A prosperous man, a generous man, and one of high ideals. He married Minerva ---. They had two sons, Bertrand and Harrv. JOHN NOBLE.7 He married Zipporah ---. A few years after the war he moved to Clay County, Kansas, where he was for a time the Countv Clerk. ANN NOBLE' married a Mr. Histe.

Several months af~er his death his posthumous child, Ralph Noble, Jr., was born. He is married to Mary---. No children. They are a fine looking and most friendly couple. Myra, Fletcher Noble's oldest child, was a remarkably beautiful woman. She married Ernest E. Everett of Los Angeles, California. She died under forty, and all of her children died in infancv. So there are no descendants of J::'letcher Haves Noble living but one. · ·

JEMI~L\. \VILSON BOSTON.5 (Andrevv,4 James,3 Hugh,2 Captain 1 Thomas. ) She married Michael Boston, who did patriotic service in the Revolutionary \Var. He is supposed to have been the son of John Boston, who lived to be a hundred. Jemima Boston's children are not known beyond that she had a son, John, that was left by spinal meningitis, or something like it, in a paralyzed condition, never taking another step. He was always smil ing, laughing, the life of any company. He had a brilliant mind, wrote 230 poetry, and was such a fine correspondent that some of his letters are treasured until this day.

KEZIA \VILSON m~rried James Stackhouse, son of Robert, a Revolu tionary soldier, and grandson of Thomas Stackhouse, emigrant, who mar ried Grace Heaton in 1688. They had at least two daughters, for when James Stackhouse took his wife and two grown daughters to Philadelphia to do some shopping, one of the merchants congratulated him on his three beau tiful daughters, never dreaming they were a mother and two daughters. She was one of the three beauties of whom Andrew \Vilson was so proud.

KERENHAPPUCH \:VILSO~. The youngest of the three beautiful daughters. She was called the belle of Lancaster County, and the most lovely woman in eastern Pennsylvania. She died at twenty, and some people were irreverent enough to say her name killed her! Nothing more is known of either Henry or John \\Tilson. Achsa \Vil son married Valentine Waltman the Younger, and her line is traced with his. \Vhile by no means the stunning beauty of some of her sisters, she was a comely young woman. She had one glory. She had marvelous hair, such as Ireland says is the gift of Ireland's daughters alone. Her hair was so long that she could sit on it, fine and thick, in great braids about her head. Her hair was black, so deep, so glossy, that it had a blue-black sheen, the true Irish black.

WINTERS. Moses Winters was a weaver in Pine Plains, Duchess County, N. Y. He joined the Sixth Regiment of Duchess County, N. Y., Militia, under Colonels Morris Graham and Roswell Hopkins. He was in the Battle of \Vhite Plains and also at l\1onmouth and Harlem. He was in from 1775 on up. He served for a time (transferred?) beginning August 1, 1776, under Col. \Villiam Church, in the First Battalion, in campaign against the Cherokee -Indians in southwest Virginia. His major at this time was Evans Shelby. For this last service he was given land bounty grants in Georgia, to which he went after the Revolutionary \Var. In the south his daughter Louisa met Jacob Charleton LaMance and married him 1816. She was born about 1 799 and died 1837. l\lloses \Vinters died in Georgia after 1830. See LAMANCE. \VOLCOTT. The \:\.,.olcotts were prominent in Connecticut, and some of them after the Revolutionary \Var went to Pennsylvania. Oliver \Vol cott signed the Declaration of Independence. Other of the Connecticut line were noted statesmen. Andrew \Valtman's daughter Katherine mar ried a \Volcott. See Chapter XXIV. They removed to Michigan.

ZARFESS. John Nicholas Zarfess,1 ( Serfass, Surface, Service, Serfaz), came to Philadelphia from \Vurtemburg, Germany, in the Ship Samuel, 231

landing December 3, 1740. He married in 1741 Christiana Miller. See article on MILLER. These were his sons: Captain Adam Zarfess,2 born in 1742. He was named for his grand father, Adam Miller. He married Elizabeth Shaffer in 1768. See SHAF FER. He usually wrote his name as Zarfess, but as least once as Sarfess. He was first a sergeant and then a Lieut. in the Fourth Company of the Sec ond Battalion of Northampton Militia, 1777-1778, under Major Frederick Limback and Col. George Breinig.

Also is stated July 22, 1781, to be in the same company and holding the same rank, under Col. Stephen Balliot. Page 590, Vol. VIII, Series V. He was also Captain of Militia in the Frontiers Indian Wars, 1784, in the First Battalion, under Col. Balliot. He was a gallant soldier and was in the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Wyoming Valley. Many have joined the D. A. R. on his record. He died in 1800. Elizabeth, his wife, was born 1746 and died the same year as her husband, 1800. Anna Maria Margretta Zarfess,3 born 1769, died 1831. She married Andrew Waltman, her cousin.

The housewife of long ago had her attic. The housekeeper of yester day had her glory-hole, which was the attic plus some. Into the glory-hole went the useful but scuffed, the worn-out but still dear-from-sentiment articles, the broken down, the put-away-to-be-mended stuff. Here one would find the superseded candle and bullet molds, the ladles to melt lead and pewter; old parasols of by-gone fashion and umbrelias weak in the ribs; old shoes, galoshes and gaiters; the laid-by wool cards and reels for thread, flax wheels and spinning wheels. Yes, hoes and rakes and grain cradles; baby's high chairs and wooden cradles; sheep shears, stools, old bureaus and cracked mirrors, churns and chopping bowls. Here hung stacks of coats and dresses. Hoops, old hats and bonnets; rag-bags, rolls of quilt pieces, and curtains, quilts and comforts. Now an appendix is not a glory-hole, but it is next thing to it in that it saves up what would otherwise be lost, gathers together the scraps and odds and ends. An appendix ought to be valuable, for it goes to the roots of things. It gives the foundations of the family lines. It tells of the wars in which the sons of the family have fought in the centuries. It gives glimpses of where the branches have scattered, of where they live, and of the hectic times of the Indian atrocities. In short, it gives the 101 things not spoken of, or but lightly, in the main part of the book, yet that belongs to, and sometimes throws a real light on the lives of our forefathers. They are gathered together in this Appendix for convenience and information.

ALLENTOWN. Allentown was first settled in 17 51. It was laid out in 17 62 by James Allen, in whose honor it was named. It is the county seat of Lehigh County, Pa., and is a railroad town, a school city and a manu facturing center. It has more than 50,000 people, does a manufacturing business of upwards of twenty million dollars' worth every year, in silks, hosiery, steel, brick, etc. It has the Allentown College for Women and the Muhlenberg (Lutheran) College. It stands on high ground sloping down to the Lehigh River, and is 62 miles northwest of Philadelphia. It is a nest of Waltmans and "\Valtman kin. These Waltmans are nearly all of the line of Lieut. Valentine Waltman. Chief among them are the descendants of :Matilda Romig-Minnich. She herself is buried in Allentown. The families of Rev. Melville B. Schmoyer and his brother, Dr. Herbert J. Schmoyer, and the three Marks brothers, Prof. Clement A. Marks, Prof. Harold K. Marks and George Donald Marks, live in Allentown. ALSACE. This buffer state, hard by Bavaria is where Count Pedro ---- and his wife, the Countess Eleanor, lived, where the count was assassinated and where his baby son was kidnapped by friendly sympathizers 2 33 to save him from the same fate, and carried into Bavaria. This was in the 1670'sand 1680's. A current Alsacian doggerel is this: "Francais ne peux, Pruesien ne veux, Alsacien Suis." ( "Frenchman I can't be, Prussian I won't be, Alsatian I am!") Alsace was where Baror: Steuben was born, a personal friend of the \:Valt man family in Bavaria, and the one who paid that never-to-be-forgotten visit to Conrad \Valtman in March, 1778, coming from Valley Forge for that purpose.

AUTHORS AND MEN AND \VOMEN OF LETTERS. ATTIC ATOMS. Under this nom de plume and also under her own name, Mrs. Attie A. Stowe did magazine work, wrote fugitive poems, did editorial staff work and was the author of Retribution, a patriotic poem of some length. She contributed a series of historical poems that were used as headings for her sister's genealogical book, "The Greene Family." She was sometimes called "the Poetess of the Pacific Coast." 1843-1910. Her work was prominent in Collier's \Veekly and Demorest's Magazine. BARBARA DALBERG-CELTES. Married shortlv before 1500 to the Poet Laureate, Conrad Celtes. She was the niece of Bishop Johann Kam merer Dalberg, the eminent humanist who made Heidelberg University what it was. He had a brilliant literarv circle around him. Here she met the Bishop's special friend and protege: Prof. Conrad Celtes. She herself was that remarkable prodigy, a woman author, when such a thing was almost unheard of. None of her poems or essays have come down to us, but they were much esteemed in her day. CONRAD CELTES was a leading humanist of h·is generation, 145 - 1508. He was made the Poet Laureate of Germany by the Emperor Maxi millian, in 14-. He was a great traveler and scholar, and held chairs of rhetoric and history in Vienna and Leipzig and in Heidelberg University. He wrote a history of Germany, books of essays, and many poems, and at least one opera. He died in the very zenith of his powers. BISHOP JOHANN KAMl\!IERER DALBERG wrote educational and Humanist works that have not come down to us. A broad-spirited, gen erous man of much ability. 1445-1503. COUNT VON FURSTENBURG, one of the electors, was present in his official capacity at the memorable Diet at \Vorms, April, 15 21. He wrote an account, widely quoted by writers of the life of Luther, of Luther's be havior and appearance on that occasion. It was a friendly and apprecia tive one. LORAS. LAMANCE, author of this book. In Chapter XXIV will be found a list of her works. 2 34

KEZIA \VALTMAN NICHOLS. She ,vas a thrice busy woman, but found time to write short poems, a good many of which were published in the religious and literary press of her day. 1814-189 5. REV. MELLVILLE B. C. SCHMOYER. He has done much writing and editing, critical, religious and literary along many lines. Has been an editor, also. He furnished much of the data in Chapter XVII. \VALTER V. \VALTMAN, at one time the Anti-Saloon League Su2- erintendent of Michigan. His work has been along temperance and pro hibition lines, as well as along religious topics. He prepared nearly all of Chapter XX. William M. Waltman, a prominent lawyer of southern Indiana. He was a great Masonic scholar, and codified the Masonic laws of Indiana for the use of that order in the state. BAVARIA. The chief home of the Counts of Frundsberg. The home of Valentime Waltman and his wife, the Countess Barbara Frundsberg Waltman. The home of Conrad Waltman until his elopement with Kath erine Bierly. The country of countries that suffered the worst of all in the terrible and cruel Thirty Years' War. The country where the printing press was invented and Gutenberg and Peter Schaeffer set up the first book, the Bible. The country where wood engravings were first made; the country where those who rejected Catholicism were first called Protestants. The most southern division of Germany, hard by both Switzerland on the south and Alsace on the west. BEDFORD COUNTY, PA. Here is where Samuel Waltman and George Waltman of the Emanuel \Valtman line, ( unrelated to Count Con rad Waltman's family), settled, in 1790, Samuel at that time a single man, George newly married. Most of the so-called Emanuel line came from these two men. BERKS COUNTY, PA. Frederick Waltman,2 the son of Conrad, who became a fifer in the Revolutionary War, and was killed in service, left land in this county to -his sons, Frederick,3 John3 and Nicholas.3 Eleanor \Valtman Lutz2 and Margaret Waltman Y once,3 daughters of Conrad, lived the last half of their lives in this county. Here also were many of what is known as the Baltimore branch of Waltmans, and some of Emanuel Walt man's line, unrelated to Conrad, but in all probability related to each other. It is no wonder the VValtmans from there are all mixed up as to where they belong. BRADFORD COUNTY. This is the Pennsylvania county into which when it was a vast wooded wilderness Jacob Miller Junior and his wife, Susan \Valtman-Dugan, lived for a time, and Daniel Miller, Abraham and Andrew \;Valtman came as is told in Chapter XXV. There are still many of the second and third generation from these living in the county. Jonathan Fowler, the second Samson, spent his last days here, and some of his child ren's posterity may still make it their home. Bradford County is on the New York boundary line. Alvin \Valtman, the last survivor of the fourth generation from Conrad \Valtman, lived there all of his life, and most of his descendants live there today. BUCKS COUNTY. Some of the other lines of Waltmans went to this county, and their descendants still live there. It is the county south of Northampton, where Conrad \Valtman ,lived, and on its eastern boundary it is separated from New Jersey by the Delaware River. CALIFORNIA. The descendants in part of Fernando Nichols, John Nichols and Valentine Nichols, all of them listed in Chapter XXIV, live in Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Jose and Watsonville respectively. Some of Oscar \Valtman's children, Chapter XXV, live in San Diego and southern California. COATS-OF-ARMS. So far as it was possible to obtain them we have given the Coats-of-Arms of the different families. It was not possible to get all of them. So far as known these families enumerated below are entitled to such escutcheons; but there may be, and probably are, other families entitled to this distinction. The Crusades, 10 to 11, brought in that branch of heraldry known as Coasts-of-Arms. In those great armies that poured out from every Christian land and went through every conceiv able hardship to go to the Holy Land and rescue Christ's sepulchre from the hands of the unbelieving Turk, there was great confusion because each leader was dressed in armor that concealed his face. The idea was conceived of putting a design on his horse's trappings and on each knight's breastplate and shield that would be this knight's alone. Then the followers of each knight could find their leader. From that grew the Coat-of-Arms that tells upon the face of it of gentle birth, recognized position, and usually of a title also.

COOKS AND COOKING. For more than 200 years Pennsylvania housewives have been celebrated for their toothsome cooking. It is a fine art as they practice it. Not another state can show better bread bakers, or cooks that can make flakier piecrust, or make richer, creamier cottage cheese -that once plebian "smearcase," and then unpoetic "Dutch cheese," now the fashionable Cottage cheese. Such apple-butter! Such preserves! Such pound cake! Such Souse, headcheese, sausage and worst! Such cream! Such butter! Such saurkraut ! CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS AND CHRISTIAN AND UPLIFT ORGANIZATIONS. The House of '\:Valtman have been good "jiners." In our generations there have been members in. a quarter of a hundred denominations, viz.: the Baptist, Catholic, Christian, Christian Science, Congregational, Episcopalian and Free Church of Scotland; the Free Methodist and Free \Vill Baptist, the Holiness Church and those who belonged long ago to the Humanist movement; Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist Episcopal and l\1ethodist Episcopal Church South, New Thought Protestant Methodist, Presbyterian, Pietist, Quaker or Friend, Russellite, Theosophist, Unitarian, United Brethren or Dunkard, U niversalist and Wesleyan Methodist. No one has ever claimed to be an Adventist, a Seventh Day Baptist, a Swedenborgian or a Spiritualist. All of these denominations have had Sunday schools, Aid, Dorcas or Guild societies and Home and Foreign Missionary Societies. Our young people have belonged to the B. Y. P. U., the Christian Endeavor, the Epworth League, the King's Daughters or similar organizations for the children and youth of our churches. Organizations of allied interests or of moral reforms have been well represented among us. The Abolitionist movement and the Anti-Slavery societies of yesterday; the suffrage society; the Freedman's Aid Society; the Bible Society and the White Cross Society, all were found in our ranks. As a family we have been strong for temperance and prohibition. Our men and women have belonged to the Anti-Saloon League, the Band of Hope, the Blue Ribbon Society or Murphy movement; they have joined the Good Templars, the Loyal Temperance Legion, the vV. C. T. U. or Woman's Temperance Union and the Young People's Branch of the same. W. V. Vlaltman has been a valued state superintendent of the A. S. L. of Michigan, and Mrs. Lora S. LaMance is both a National and an Interna tional Organizer and Lecturer for the W. C. T. U., for which she has visited three continents and traveled a half a million of miles and given over 12,000 lectures and addressed a million and a quarter people. Waltmans and Waltman kin have belonged to the Red Cross, to the Grand Army of the Republic and its branches, the Sons of Veterans and the Women's Relief Corps, and the Colonial Dames. Also to the American Legion and to the Daughters of the Confederacy, to the Order of Cincin nati, to the Sons of the Revolution and the D. A. R. ( the Daughters of the Revolution). They belong to the League of \V omen Voters, to the Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims and to the Vil oman's Council. See the various Orders for fraternal organizations. DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION, are usually called by the initials, D. A. R. It is a highly patriotic organization, albeit a somewhat aristocratic one. It is a rigid rule that only those can belong who can give official proofs both of their ancestors' services in the American \Var of Independence and of their unbroken descent, giving both fathers' and mothers' names, dates and other information to prove the same. 2 37

Knowing that women are interested in this, in every case possible full details are given of Revolutionary service, when and where, the officers in command, and books of reference, volume and page. In general, all of those who can trace back to Conrad \Valtman, (and that includes all mentioned in the first twenty-five chapters of the book so far as they relate to events since 1776,) can join the D. A. R. or the Sons of the Revolution on his record alone. All of those in Chapters XVI to XXII can join on the Military Records of John Peter, Frederick, William, Micheal and Ludwig Waltman, whose services are fully outlined. Those who descend from Margaret Walt man Yonce, are entitled to use her husband's Record, and the majority can also use the Record of her son, Peter Yonce. All of the descendants of Lieut. Valentine Waltman, Chapter XVII, can use his record, as can those listed in Chapters XXIV and XXV use Andrew Vv altman's records. The daughters' lines of Kuder and Ruckle can use the records of these \Valt mans' daughters' husbands. And there are many more. One joins the D. A. R. on one certain ancestor, but they are allowed a gold bar for every additional one. There is a gold pin for the first ancestor. Then a red-white-and-blue ribbon on which the bars are pinned,-a most beautiful decoration. EDUCATORS. The Waltmans have furnished several eminent educa tors, heads of schools and professors in colleges. They and their collateral lines have furnished 200 teachers-too numerous to enumerate. EVANSVILLE, INDIANA. This wide-awake town in the extreme southern part of the state, and on the Ohio River, is the seat of \Valtmans, all descended from Joseph, of the lineage of Joseph,4 son of Peter,3 one of the only two sons of Lieut. Valentine Waltman.2

FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR, INDIAN UPRISINGS, PRIOR TO THE REVOLUTION. One of the most exclusive and aristocratic organizations for women is that of the Colonial Dames. Few can ever join, for behind the member ship must be the proof of an ancestor~s services as an officer in the Colonial wars before the American Revolution. Only a few branches of the \Valt man House can offer such proof. Here are all that we have been able to trace of ancestors in the Colonial wars previous to 1776. For convenience those who were privates of our line are given also, but only descendants of conimissioned officers can count on applications.

PEQUOT \VAR OF 1637. Captain Thomas Straight, so called in Massachusetts records, served in the Pequot Indian \Var of 1637. Unfortunately, company, regiment or other details are not given, so his record is unavailable. An ancestor of the Greenes. KING PHILIP'S \VAR, 1676. Lieut. John Greene. It is a matter of record that he belonged to the R. I. Militia in 167 5, and served as corporal under Lieut. Hassey. Unfor tunately a corporal is not a commissioned officer, so Colonial Dame member ship cannot be obtained from that. Almost all the records of King Philip's \Var have perished. In the Rhode Island records, over and over this man is called Lieutenant, and was doubtless promoted to this position in 1676 when King Philip's \Var was on hands. But lack of written proof make his descendants illegible. Lieut. James Greene, brother to Lieut. John, is also designated as Lieu tenant. As he was 20, and of a prominent family, it is all but certain that he received his title then, though the records have perished. He is also an ancestor of the Greenes. These men were in the line from which all of the descendants of Kezia Waltman-Nichols sprang, through her marriage with Nelson Nichols. See Chapter XXIV.

FRENCH AND INDIAN AND OTHER INDIAN OUTBREAKS BEFORE 1776. Valentine Waltman,3 who in the Revolutionary \Var was a Lieutenant, as a boy of under 16, almost certainly served in the Northampton Militia the last of 1757 and early part of 1758. In October, 1757, during the very squally times that threatened eastern and middle Pennsylvania for a year and more after Braddock's defeat, he signed a petition asking the govern ment to protect them from the Indians. His parents and the younger children fled for a time, in 17 5 6, to a fort of blockhouse. Valentine was a man in stature, and could shoot as well as anyone. Hardly an officer pre served the roster of his men. So there is no proof in law of his service. He was a private, of course, on account of his youth. Samuel Erwin, afterwards a colonel in the Revolutionary \Var. He was only a private, but his record is so remarkable that it is worth quoting. He came as a man with half-grown children, in 1740, from Ireland. It is a matter of record that for twenty-one years, from 1744 to 1765, over and over again, in the French and Indian wars and in half a dozen outbreaks, this cool, calm, persistent fighter was called out by his captain, John Little, and so for twenty-one years he learned the Indian and how to subdue him. He was probably a ·great-grandfather when he was called to the Revolu tionary colors in 1776, and because of his twenty-one years' experience in fighting with Indians was made a colonel and placed in charge of the defense of the frontier, the oldest officer in the war. He served nearly seven years in that war, still vigorous at the close in 1 783, when he was 78 years old. . His service concerns all of the line of Valentine \Valtman, the Younger, through the Erwin blood of his wife, Achsa, and it also concerns the allied families of Lytles, \Vilsons and McLanes. See Chapter XXIV and articles under head of l\!IcLane and Erwin in this volume. · 2 39

Captain Hugh \\7 ilson. His services as Captain in the French and Indian \Var are on record. They will entitle to membership in the Colonial Dames all whom descend from him, the same line of \Valtmans from Valentine the Younger, the Lytles, \\Tilsons, Nobles and McLanes. Captain Stephen Chastiene, who died in 1751. He lived in Accomac County, Virginia. In the Indian disturbances, the County Court of Accomac County appointed him as Captain of Militia. See Virginia Colonial Records, page 99-100. Captain Jacob Charleton, of Accomac County, Virginia, was c::ommis sioned by the County Court, in August, 1742, in an Indian uprising, as captain over the 4th Company of Virginia Militia. His son Jacob served under him. Page 92 of Virginia Colonial History. The descendants of Lora S. Lal\1ance are entitled to credits from the last two men's records above, as Colonial officers prior to the Revolution ary War. Captain Eteinne d'Chastaine, was commissioned by the County Court of Northampton County, Va., in 1651, in an Indian uprising, as Captain over a Militia Company. This is recorded page 99-100 in Colonial Virginia Records. Ancestor of the Watkins, and La Mances. Northampton County's name was changed to Accomac later.

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. No attempt is made to give the military service of the Waltman men except incidentally, because so few reported this service. Doubtless most of those who returned from the war joined this organization. The human mind seems to run in channels. Faithfully every Revolutionary service was re ported, and as faithfully every \Vorld's War soldier. Rarely one of the line reported an ancestor in the war of 1 812-14, and not one reported an ancestor in the Mexican War, and very few indeed spoke of Civil War service. Yet the majority of those old enough to go volunteered and did valiant service. LA GRANGE COUNTY, INDIANA. Here is where the home was of Kezia Waltman Nichols of Chapter.XXIV, and here all of her children were born, and her husband is buried. Not one of all of them is living there now, though some of them are buried there. LEHIGH COUNTY, PA. Here is where many of the \Valtmans and their kindred live. Here is where four generations of their dead are sleep ing until the Resurrection morn. Most of these are the descendants of Peter, the son of Lieut. Valentine Waltman and the grandson of Conrad, our stem-father. LUZERNE COUNTY, PA. Nearly all of the \Valtmans who went to Ohio, and the Brittains and other in-laws who went to the same state, went from this county. Here was where such a row came up in Huntington over Kezia Waltman, a girl, attempting to go to an academy and get an education like a man! Times have changed mightily since then, and more girls than boys are getting a higher education in the old Keystone State. MARYLAND. Michael \Va1tman went to Maryland, married, lived and died there, in Frederick County. Some of his descendants may yet live there. MICHIGAN. Margaret \Valtman \Volcott's line of Chapter XXIV. The line of Mrs. Hannah ·Knauss, of Chapter XVII, and the family of W. V. Waltman of Chapter XX, all went to the \Volverine state. , MINISTERS. Upward of 100 ministers in the United States have sprung from Conrad v\Taltman's line. They have been a markedly religious family from the very first. There have been missionaries in the line also. Two women preachers. MISSISSIPPI. Andrew Waltman, son of Lieut. Valentine Waltman, went south. Married when he was an old bachelor in Sabuta, Miss. All of his children were born there. After the death of their parents the children scattered, but some of his descendants still live in the state. His son Ferdinand, a young man, enlisted in the Confederate army in the Civil War, presumably from this state, and lost his life in the war. NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. This is the original great county where Conrad Waltman lived and died, and where many of his sons enlisted for their country's defense. It has been carved in later days into eight or nine other counties, Susquehanna, Monroe, Pike, Carbon, Wyoming, Lehigh, Schuylkill, Wayne, and part of Bradford and Luzerne. OATH OF ALLEGIENCE. From September 21, 1727, England required that all from the Palatinate, the Rhine and Bavaria, who came in to the Coiony of Pennsylvania should take an iron-clad oath of aiiegiance to the English Crown. Within 24 hours of landing, all grown men, heads of families or single, if over 16 years of age, took this oath. At first it was elaborately long and minute. Three hundred words in it! It was finally abridged to this form: "We, subscribers, natives and late inhabitants of the Palatinate upon the Rhine and places adjacent, having transported ourselves and our families into this Province of Pennsylvania, a colony, subject to the crown of Great Britain, in hopes of finding a retreat and peaceful settlement therein, Do swear and engage, that we will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His present Majesty, KING GEORGE THE SECOND, and his successors, Kings of Great Britain, and will be faithful to the Proprietor of this Prov ince, and that we will demean ourselves peaceably to all of His said Maj esty's subjects and strictly observe and conform to the laws of England and of the Province, to the utmost of our power and the best of our under standing." OCCUPATIONS. The Waltmans and their kindred have not been idlers. They have followed these many occupations as a means of liveli hood: Artist Minister Telegrapher Aviator Missionarv Livervman Author Musician· Brak;man Auto dealer Music teacher Repair Man Auto fittings Mine operator Phvsical Director Architect Manufacturer Ait Work Blacksmith Nurse Contractor Bridge-builder Painter Cashier Boarding house keeper Paper-hanger School Principal Banker Plumber Agent Cabinet-maker Pharmacist Mayor Chemical engineer Post-Master Secretarv Civil engineer Printer Orchest;a Man Clerk Proof Reader Organist Commissioner Prosecuting Attorney Elevator Man Chemist Porter Stone-Cutter College coach Photographer Timberman Coffee-shop keeper Principal of School Trapper Chorister Railroad Man Stone mason College professor Railway Mail Clerk Bricklayer Dairyman Realtor Indian Trader Draftsman Reporter Judge Dressmaker Sawmill Operator Supreme Judge Dentist Sailor Foreign Minister Doctor Sawyer Ambassador Druggist Soldier Corsetiere Editor Shoe-Maker Dietician Electrician Salesman Taxi-man Elocutionist ::itenographer Chauffeur Evangelist Sup't of Public Utilities Reader (Professional) Factory owner Sign Painter Marshal Farmer Sa-It Maker Congressman Fruit grower Survevor Senator Factory superintendent Sheriff Publisher Gardener Teacher Writer Guide Trainer Countv Treasurer Hotel-keeper Trained Nurse Counh" Clerk House-keeper Gndertaker Stock-man Hunter "Ctilitv Man Genealogist Inventor Violi~ Maker Geologist Inn-keeper \Veaver Surgeon Y.

One hundred and sixty occupations! That speaks well for the versatility of the family and to their mental ability and their mechanical skill. But in the lot there has not been a tramp, a saloon-keeper, brewer or distiller. No record has come down to us of one of our number in State's prison, and none of them have been hung. Let us hope that there are no moonshiners or boot-leggers, card sharps or gamblers among them. ORGANIZATIONS (FRATERNAL) The '\;Valtmans and their kindred have belonged to such fraternal organ izations as the Masonic Order, Odd Fellows, \Voodmen, Rotary and Lions Clubs. The women have b_elonged to the Eastern Star, Rebekahs and vari ous women's clubs. The church and patriotic organizations have always come first with them. But over and above this has been found time for social improvement, fraternal fellowship and recreation.

PENNSYLVANIA IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. Out of the thirteen colonies not another one felt the brunt of this war as did the old Keystone State. She is said to have had the youngest soldier in the war. Ebenezer Green, under 14. She certainly had the oldest officer in the entire war, in the person of Colonel Samuel Erwin ( See Erwin Article), who was 78 when the war closed. She also had the oldest private soldiers. In what was called "The Old l\tlen's Company," from Reading, who served as militia to protect their town, were forty-six over the military age. The two very oldest men in the entire war, were a Pennsylvania fifer of ninety five, and a drummer of over eighty-five! The war was at their door. In three months' time in that cruel and dis astrous year of 1777, there were eight major engagements from early September to early December on Pennsylvania soil, and six more engage ments in two and a half months, from April to July, in 1 778.

BATTLES IN TEN MONTHS IN PENNSYLVANIA, 1777-1778. Paoli, September 20, 1777. Philadelphia, occupied by the British. Held by them nine months. Germantown, October 4, 1 777. Fort Mifflin, October 23, 1777. Fort Mifflin, second battle, November 10-15, 1 777. vVhite Marsh, December 5-8, 1777. Chestnut Hill, December 6, 1777. Edge Hill, December 7, 1777.

Bristol, April 17, 1778. Crooked Billet, May, 1778. Barren Hill, May 20, 1778. Philadelphia evacuated by the British, June 18, 1778. '\\Tyoming, July 1-4, 1778. \Vyoming, ~1assacre on July 4, 1778.

PICTURES FOR OFFICE, DEN OR HALL. Friends ask if they can secure full-page copies of the illustrations in this book to frame for office, hall, bedroom or den. Yes. The author at her home, Lake \Vales, Florida, will have 1,500 or more of these of the most interest-such as the old Bible, the Herzog page of the Bible, "a Likeness" of Katherine Bierly \Valtman, General Georg Frundsberg, etc.-and they will be on sale at a 2 43 nominal price. It is recommended that they be grouped, and that they be framed in narrow gilt or bronze or mahogany frames, or if they are to fit into a room's color scheme, in frames of enameled rose, blue or green or other color wanted. For office or hall, we recommend tµat framed official certificates of ancestors' services in the Revolutionary \Var be obtained. It is not every one who can have a thing like that. Send to the State Archivist of Mary land, at Annapolis, for the certified military record of Corporal Michael \Valtman, enclosing a dollar. See the record in Chapter XX. It will come in plain black and white, 8xl 1, something like a diploma, and in one corner will be the State's seal in gold. Frame in a narrow gold frame. Those descended from Conrad Waltman, Andrew \Vilson, Lieut. Valen tine Waltman, John LaMance, Sergeant (John) Peter \Valtman, Captain Adam Zarfess, Captain Andrew Lytle, Private Andrew Lytle, Colonel Samuel Erwin and Melchior Ruckle, should send in the same way to the State Archivist of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, Pa., enclosing a dollar. At least three-fourths of those in this book are from Andrew Waltman. In ordering for him, note carefully the Series, Volume and Page, and quote, word for word, the note about a careless printer who substituted an I for an L, making the record read Andrew Waitman instead of Andrew Waltman. Unless this explanation is made the Archivist can not find his name on the records. Corrected, it has been officially accepted by the D. A. R. Each separate certificate and seal requires a dollar. For official certificates of the service of John Craighead Caldwell (John C.), send to the Archivist of South Caroiina at Columbia, the capital; for Rev. David Caldwell, D.D., to Raleigh, N. C.; for Jacob Charleston, to the Archivist at Richmond, Va.; for Moses Winters, to the Archivist at Albany, N.Y. PINEVILLE, 1\,10. Home of Marcus and Lora S. LaMance until after his death. Here he lies in the city cemetery, as does also Kezia Walt man-Nichols.

WARS. This family has been in nearly every Indian \Var in the East ern States. Sons of the family served in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and the World's War. May peace be as dear to us as life itself-but peace with honor always. Let us remember that we can wage a peaceful war anytime against corruption or for principle by our ballots. May we be such citizens that we do our bit our level best, and be always law abiding and law sustaining. As Lincoln said, "Let reverence for the law be breathed at the mother's knees."

MRs. LORA S. LAMAKCE, Lake \Vales, Florida, will have a supply on hand of the most important and most unique family pictures in this volume. The larger ones will be on an ivory background, on heavy coated paper, suitable for 8xl O frames. The similar smaller ones will fit a frame 6x8, and nearly all department and 25-cent stores carry neat, narrow frames at a low price. A group of these distinctive family pictures are most pleasing. If three are grouped, follow the old Heraldry rule of charges on an escutch eon, "One above, two below." If ~even are grouped, they will look well with three in the top row and four in the lower row. Or a double set of three with a single picture between the two groups.

It took twenty-five years to collect the material for The House of Waltman and the searching of the records of two continents. The author's letters written to private parties to get information, would have filled two of Uncle Sam's mail bags full to repletion. The records filled a small trunk. Many of the pictures were made from foreign photostats, made from paintings and books 300 and 400 years old or more. There is nothing else like it. There will be but this one edition. Buy before this edition is exhausted.
