Duryea (1861-1938), it occurred to me thnt I knew verJ little about his matcrnnl o.ncostors. With the knowlcdgo that Catherine Shryock Carver was his great-grandmother, I tried to identify her parents - anQ this material on the Shryock family is the result. Al though my onl;'.'" interest wns in my direct line, so many other data were obtained that I have attempted to list the known descend.ants of the immigrant (Hans Jarick or Hans Jerg) Johannes George Schreyack. Should thero seem to bo too much emphasis placed on my a.~cestors I trust that the other descondnnts will not consider this selfish, inas­ much ns tho original purpose was to trace my line only. I wish that this could ho.ve boon more of an anecdotal gen1oalogy, but the line was too remote. No claim is oadc to perfection since these do.ta wore com­ pilecl by a novice, who found that 11 the dry branches of geneo.logicnl trees bear I!lally pleasnnt and curious fruits." Early in ray search I started corresponding with five persons who were interested in the ShrJock lineage. Throe were descendants of Johannes George Sc.'li.reyack, and two were of other Shryock lineage. There evolved a volUI!linous excru.\Ilg0 of lot tars among 11 the Shryock doscend.t1nts 11 (as we addressed oursolves). To those five persons I a.TJ deeply gr~teful for thoir enthusiastic assistance Pnd encouragenent in r.iy arJateurish efforts. This acknowled£:;IJent is cade to Mrs. Willis Field (Elizabeth Shryock) and Miss Loren~ T. Lawoll of Lexington, Kentucky: Professor Burnett H. ShrJock of Kazisas City, Missouri; Miss G. Eloise Shryock of Glendale, California; ant Miss Ruth Fortmcss of Hobart, Indiana. To Miss Portoess I am also indebted for her generous cooporation in checking tho manuscript. ( Mrs • W. Ha rve y Jo hns on) Duryea Cottage Cornwall, Lebanon County Pennsylvania 1955 Postscript~ Shortly after the publication of this manuscript, I learned the identity of two heirs of Frederick Shryock (page 27)e I am greatly indebted to Miss Jewell Roberts for the information on pages 50a through 50p~ In pre­ paring this supplement, a few additional changes have been inserted, but no effort was made to bring the manu- script up to dateo RoDoJ. NO FOOTPR!i-TTS ON THE SA!~DS OF TIME; or, Oh, for a Court Record on Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grampa It 1 s nice to come from gentle folk Who wouldn't stoop to brawl, Who never took a lusty poke At anyone at all, Who never raised a raucous shout At any country inn Or calmed an U€1Y fellow lout With a belaying pin, Who never shot a revenuer Hunting for the still, Who never rustled cattle, who're Pleased with u.nclo 1 s will, Who lived their iives out as they ought, With no uncouth distractions, And shu.~ned like leprosy the thought Of taking legal actions, It's nice to come from gentle folk Who've never known disgrace - But oh, though scandal is no joke, It's easier to tr~ce! By Virginia Scott Miner Saturday Evening Post November 22, 1941 A "friend of a friend" of Miss Miner wrote that Miss Miner has no interest in gene~logy! She was inspired to write the above lines while waiting iu a library for her friend to check a few gene~logical i terns o • The Shryock Linc - continued - 2 - Wilhelm Friedrick, Baron Van Schrieck, 1545-1583 (died in Bois-lo-Due) Karl Friedrick, Baron, 1580-1630 (died i~ Bois-le-Due) Jarick Hans,1610-1685 (migrated to the Palatinate and died in Hanover) Friedrick von Schri0ck, 1668-1734 (born and died in Hanover) Thus was Friedrick von Schrieck a dcsccnd..mt of a line of feudal barons. Friedrick married Hildegarde von Steuben (1682-1739; Heindrich) who died in Hanover. It is believed that she was an aunt of Baron Friedrick Wilhelm Augustus Henry Ferdinand von Steuben 1730-1794, aide-de-camp to Frederick the Great. (The Baron General came to America in 17?7 to aid General George Washing­ ton during the Revolutionary War.) This believed relationship is supported· by the fact that General von St0uben1 s cousin's daughter married Jacob Schreyack, one of the three immigrant brothers. The name was originally spelled Schreeck, followed by Van Schrieck, n.nd van Schrieck, and in Holland the name has been continued as Van der Schrieck. In America it has been spelled with many variations: Schreyack, Shriock, Schryock, Screycck, Schroyock, Sriock, etc., until tho final form of SHRYOCK. (It is be­ lieved that this family had no connection with those of the name Schrack or Schrock.) From the daily papers October 24-25, 1944: 11 British troops fought into tho streets of the key Dutch road center of 1 sHertogonbosch tonight. 11 'sHcrtogenbosch Ono of Europe's Oldest and Most Romnntic Towns {By The Associated Press) " 1 sHcrtogcnbosch is one of Europe's oldost and most rom~.ntic towns n.s well . as one of southern Holland's most successful commercial cities. The town derives its n..·1.mo from Duke Godfrey of Brabant, who granted it municipal privileges in 1184. The name litcrnlly means 1 thc Duke's Woods' - Hertog being the Dutch word for duke and :Bosch the word for woods.· It ofton nppoars on maps in tho French variant, Bois-le-Due. nThc apostrophe 's I prefix to the Ilc.1.IDC is the Dutch forr.1 of the possessive c~sc. Tho name of the town is pronounced 1 Ser-Togggncn-Bos 1 with tho 'g' · gargled. 'sHcrtogonbosch is the capital of North Brabant Province and has a population of about 41,000. It is located at the confluence of tho DomE1cl a."ld Aa Ri vors. It is co11n0cted with the Mans, three r;1ilos to tho north, by the canalized River Dioze. Rail and motor routes fan out from the town. It was con­ sidered impregnable during tho Midcllo Ages because of marshes surrounding it until Stadtholder Frederic Henry took it by storm in 1629. "In May 1940 it lay directly in the path of the German forces advancing from Kleve, Gcrm.:uiy. A German armored division moved through tho town and reached the ;:oerdyk bridge across Hollandsch Diop, 30 miles to tho wost, on May 12. Tho bridge hnd been occupied by German troops in Netherlands' uniforms."

The first is tho one used by both Col.

To his nine children have been allotted the even hundred figures. The first digit, therefore, denotes the child of Christian. so that regardless of tha number of digits there can be no confusion as to which of Christian's children that individual belongs. For cxamplo - No. 300 (John) Frederick Shryock indicates that ho was the third child of Christian Schroyack 1735-1822; and the first digit 11 311 will identify his descend.ants; thus - 301 Catherine Shryock 335 Rhea Duryea Johnson 3145 Lorena T. Lawcll This method allows ndditional entries. The notes start with No. 1 on pa.go 64. There arc less thnn one hundred of those and there should be no confusion with tho code numbers of the descendants.
