Forgive me if this has already been posted to this list, but does everyone know that ALL of Ancestry.com databases are free through July 31?

Hey, I notice that Johannes Hill, whose descendants also intermarried often with the entire Schneider, Hoch and Keim clan and also lived next door to both Elias Wagner and Philip Burkhart, came from Frankenthal. Not the only person I've gotten info about in the past couple of days who was from Frankenthal. Do he and those Moravian founders have anything else in common? Does anyone know his background? How did he come to have the name Hill, and he was German? I expected that both he and the Bishop guy were English. I did have an ancestor named Levering, came from Muelheim, Germany, near the Dutch border - his people spent two generations in Holland after leaving England during one of the Catholic Stuart reigns. Levering is a place in Suffolk County, near the eastern coast of England, near a port that tens of thousands of English Puritans sailed from for Holland. I do see there were people named Heyl around, pronounced roughly, "Hill"; they could have anglicized their name, but I see it "Johannes Hill" at Rootsweb genconnect. That's a funny way and funny timing for anglicizing a name! Yours, Dora __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Gene Rooks really did an excellent job on his Weidner pages in the WorldConnect project at rootsweb. I particularly like the way he presents complete, well rounded pictures of his ancestors; none of that happy and fluffy and largely meaningless stuff. (Someone on one of these lists and I are having an argument, it is hardly the first time.) Now this guy is an ancestor I wanted to have! Seems it WAS Elizabeth's father, George Adam Weidner, and not his and Tychicus's father Hans Adam, who put those ads in the Philadelphia newspaper - too bad he didn't repeat the bone chilling tone of that runaway servant ad. The ads also weren't written in the same tone and with the same verbal sophistication - or even grammar - you'd expect of the father, who with another man circumcized each other in the Jewish tradition, which I gather they read about, even in the backwoods of the Ephrata Cloister, and who was such a good craftsman he made a cake mold with hearts and a floral motif on it that still survives. In addition to all those roof tiles. George Adam does seem to have been acquisitive enough; always building mills of one sort and another, and his ads make it clear he did also operate a tile kiln. I wish he'd done more on the collateral lines, though. He does state that Dorothea and Barbara Greiner were both born in Geisselhardt, gives dates, just like all of the Weidners. I know they came to Pennsylvania on a ship called the Dragon or someting - did they belong to the Ephrata Cloister, too? Also, I am wondering WHERE they were married - I thought in Oley, did they actually marry in Germany, and Dorothea's parents just happened to also come to Pennsylvnia?

All kinds of wonderful things in that Rootsweb database - wasn't even tehre in 1998. The Weidners were not New Borns. They belonged to the Ephrata Cloister. Hmm... Of course. There had to be one in the barrel. Now will someone please tell me about the Ephrata Cloister. From what is below, it begins to look like ze Hans Adam Weidner was ze intense and complex person. Hans Adam Weidner was married for the first time to someone named Haass. I'd say that is a Dutch or Belgian name, probably not overcommon in Germany, most likely Anabaptist in background, since the name turns up with my ancestors in Germany. What I want to know is, was she of the same Haass family that came to Berks County? And did ze Greiners belong to ze Ephrara Cloister, too. Hans Adam Weidner was father to George Adam Weidner who married Dorothea Greiner who had Elizabeth Weidner who married John Dehart.

In 1725 he was listed as a member of the Church of the Brethren. This is the community at Ephrata where Caterine Weidner, mother of Heinrich Weidner, was also a member. Records indicate he was listed as a taxpayer in Philadelphia Co. records in 1734, and was naturalized by 1743. He was a potter by trade of great skill, making unglazed earthenware of which several samples survive. The oldest unglazed piece of pottery in Pennsylvania is a cake mold with hearts and a floral motif he did. He also made roof tiles in the European manner, the most noted of which are at the Ephrata Cloister, and some other structures in Oley township in Pennsylvania. Dr. Don Yoder advises that Adam and another man influenced by the Judaizing influence of Bromley circumcized each other, for which he was criticized by the leaders of the Cloister.

Get ready, folks?!!! I wasn't even looking for New Borns anymore. I decided to help the person who is researching Herb's, since obviously either the list archives are full of Herb's, or the search engine has "Herb" thoroughly confused with "New Born". Don't quite have the answer to that, because the following turned up, under "Herb". CNIDR Isearch-cgi 1.20.06 (File: 195) ============================================================ Date: Wed, 12 Aug 1998 19:24:05 -0400 From: herb-bett <herb-bett@mci2000.com> To: PABERKS-L@rootsweb.com Message-id: <000101bdc648$655ed2a0$e64937a6@oemcomputer> Subject: Matthias Bauman Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit MATTHIAS BAUMAN, father-in-law of Samuel HOCH, was born about 1680 in Lambsheim near Frankenthal in the Palatinate of Germany. About 1709-1710 BAUMAN came to America with his wife, Catherine, and only child, Sarah. They settled first in the Schoharie region along the Hudson. By 1714 they reached Oley, PA. One of the first of the Pietist sects to appear in the interior of PA was the Newborns, a group which was confined almost entirely to the Oley Valley, and MATTHIAS BAUMAN was their leader. He was the first major religious separatist. In 1723, in Oley, he prepared a tract setting forth his views; it was entitled (in German) "A Call from God to the Unregenerate World"......... This summary was prepared from material contributed by John Joseph STOUDT, a great-grandson of SAMUEL HOCH and Sarah Bauman. Betty Coller herb-bett@mci2000.com ______________________________ Now, the Hoch's were Moravians. From before they came here. Rudolph, who I nicknamed Hoch guy, and his two sons, Samuel and Johannes. They helped start the Moravian Church in Oley. Samuel was the one who donated the land for it, and he also had some kind of famous Indian spirit tree on his property. I hardly get the idea they weren't SINCERE Moravians. Plain Dutch, and all of that. So Samuel Hoch, son of Hoch guy, married the daughter of the leader of the New Born sect. I'd say this sheds new light on the New Born sect, doesn't make sense Hoch guy had a temperament compatible with being Moravian, and the New Born sect was frivolous. Anyhow, was Lambscheim anywhere near Geisselhardt? If not, I'd say the Weidners can't have been new born. Can't wait to find out where my Burkharts and Wagners fit in this clan... What does it say in Oley Valley Heritage, anyhow, besides that everyone in the valley was New Born? Anything? (I did put in an interlibrary loan request last weekend for both those Oley books, my library can't get three quarters of the books I request, doesn't matter what it is.) ...Pietist? The Moravians were Pietist, too, right? Ve begin to see ze thread zese two people (Hoch guy and Bauman) could possibly have had in common. The only mood state Moravians and New Borns would have in common, from what I currently understand of each of them, is mania. And people who carry manic depression often marry each other. My own family history is one long case study of that. It's particularly startling in my mother's lines. Both of my mothers' parents' mothers had manic depression and died insane - and it just branches off backwards from there. If these are really my ancestors. I still pretty much only know that my Wagners and Burkharts and Nuss's (that's German for nut) were genealogically meandering around them somehow. If anyone has any new light to shed on who and what the New Borns were, I'd really appreciate knowing it. Yours, Dora __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

xi. JOHANN CONRAD LORSBACH, b. December 09, 1722, Lampertheim, Germany; m. SUSANNA HERB, November 17, 1748, Falkner Swamp Reformed Church, Montgomery Co. PA.. (Too bad New Born history isn't as proliferate) I found several answers to my postings on the New Born - from 1998, but not the one I was looking for. "Oley Valley Heritage", pages 106-8 supposedly contains info on the New Born, unless it is what is below. From which we deduce that the Bertolet's, Levan's, Keim's, and Schneider's all were New Born. Atleast you know where I got that about everyone in the valley having been New Borns. The ifnormation I want is the name of their leader, adn the name of the town in Germany that, as I remember, they all came from. If not Geisselhardt or nearby, then the Weidner's weren't New Born, either, since the Weidner's came from Geisselhardt. And I still want to know what they were. Yours, Dora The next significant group of settlers was a large group of acquainted or related families from the Palatinate, including some families of Swiss derivation and some families of at least partial French extraction. The first of these people settled in the northern part of the Oley Valley by 1712. It is likely that most or perhaps all of these pioneers were members of the perfectionist 'New Born' sect. Families constituting this large cluster of migrants, or who soon arrived and intermarried with them, appear to have included those of Baumann, Bertolet, Levan, DeTurk, Joder (spelled Yoder today), K�hlwein, Huffnagel, Schenkel, Keim, Schneider, Hoch (anglicized as High), Ballie, Peter, Herbein, Weber (anglicized as Weaver), Kersten (later shortened to Kerst), Aschmann, Ritter, and Kauffmann. The presence of the French families (and exaggeration of the proportion of French ancestry among the people) has led over the years to frequent reference to this group of settlers as the "Oley Huguenots." OK, I will tackle this one. The Neu-gebornen, or Newborn, who settled in the Oley Valley in Berks County early in the 18th century, were one of the most fantastic of all the religious groups. Declaring that they were like Adam before the Fall, they believed themselves to be free of sin and even incapable of sinning, an advantage Adam never possessed. The Newborn left little mark on the religious life of their day; few people were simple-minded enough to take them seriously. Honest--that is what my books says. Hey, this is a great topic. There are a million of these sects in this book on the PA Dutch. Ever hear of the New Mooners? The Millerites? The Society of the Women in the Wilderness? All were small religious sects active in some area of Pa Dutch culture. The book is called The Pennsylvania Dutch by Fredric Klees and is, or was, used as a text book in Lancaster County, PA high schools. It was published by the MacMillan Co. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo! Mail � Free email you can access from anywhere! http://mail.yahoo.com/

I found this stuff on Herb's in the PABERKS list archives while looking for the answer someone esnt me to the question I posted to one of these lists some time ago about the New Born of Oley. Too bad I'm having less luck with the New Born than with Herb's. Could be more stuff in there - I wasn't looking for Herbs. I know I asked this question once before, but can anyone please give me more information on the New Born? I looked in Google. Please, noone suggest Google to me. New born lambs, new born babies, temperatures in new born babies - everything. The New Born came from some town in Germany, led by a single individual. The Weidners, who I also found described somewhere ELSE, the only web site they are on, as BOTH Brethren, AND New Borns, no clue where they got that, came from Geisselhardt, where they had lived for generations. What town did the New Born come from, and were all of them members of that original group? They are also called Neu Born (Google turns up every Neu who was ever born) and New Borns (good for more new born babies) YOurs, Dora Bob, I didn't know what I was in for when I looked for Susanna Herb on CD 166.

Thank you Phylis Hawker, 340 Monteray Ave, Dayton, OH

I need to get straightened out on the roots of teh Weidner family. The way I hve it, George Adam Weidner came to Pennsylvania with some older children, two of whom were Tychicus and the brother who settled I think near Lobachsville. George Adam Weidner remarried to Dorothea Greiner, and one of their children was my Elizabeth. I had it that my George Adam Weidner was the proprietor of the tile plant. I soon learned that Tychicus was the father of Susan who married the Keim. That would make her the niece of my Elizabeth. Someone wrote me that I've got that mixed up; an Adam Weidner was father to Tychicus, the other guy who settled near Lobachsville, and George Adam the father of my Elizabeth. I see from the set of lists of whose children were whose made by someone else that she sent me, that nearly every Weidner family unit had a son named Tychicus. Could someone please send me or tell me where to find the correct version of teh first three generations of that family. Even more important, does anyone know what is the story of how the Weidners came to this country, or even what faith the first of them in this country belonged to? By the mid 18th century OF COURSE they were Lutherans and Reformed unless they were very extreme indeed, everyone was. All I've seen is speculation by a Dehart 5th cousin that the Weidners were New Born. This was a sect from a single German town, whose main theology was that they had been born again and could do no sin. They appear not to have been particularly religious. They were, however, fond of picking fights with surrounding townspeople and of disrupting church meetings by starting argumetns, and one guy drowned while attempting to prove he could walk on water. They also were extremely opposed to government in any form. My cousin understood them to hvae been the principal first settlers in the Oley region and to be principally responsible for the way that region stood off officials attemting to variously count and list them, and extract taxes from them, and for similar attitudes among the people of that region to this day. >From what I've been reading about the Keim's and Schneider's and Hoch's, that cannot have been true. In fact, I'venot seen anything at allabout the New Born on this list - though noone was overeager to volunteer the information that Welsh Baptists played a large role in the history of the region, either. I also keep getting the idea that from their beginnings with Adam the tilemaker, the Weidners were a little bit nuts - but hardly in so cheerfully feisty a sense of the word. Adam Weidner the tilemaker who was going to do noone wanted to know what to whoever aided the teenaged indentured servants who continually ran away from him, I don't know in what part because their families were far away, had a feudal and rather grim emotionality. He reminds me of my father, not some happy go lucky New Borner. Yours, Dora __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!
