Is there anyone out there researching the surname Heiss/Hise/etc?? I have a Hoppes-Heiss connection from Northampton Co. I received the following from the Reeves Library, Moravian College & Moravian Theological Seminary: Author Roseen, Sven, 1708-1750. Title The Dansbury diaries: Moravian travel diaries 1748-1755 of the Reverend Sven Roseen and others in the area of Dansbury, now Stroudsburg, Pa. "....There is an "Every Name Index" in the book, so it was easy to find George Jasper Hise. However, there is very little information. He was part of a group of "more than six hundred men, women and children, in their utmost distress " who came "to the Brethren's Settlements, in the Forks of Delaware, to find there a shelter, and some relief in their wants and nakedness; many of them having had their houses, barns, cattle and all burnt and destroyed by the savages and just having save their life." His name appears twice on the "Powell List of Sufferers" as one who received goods during the "hard winter" of 1756. On Jan. 1, 1756, he received 2 1/4 yards of cotton nap cloth, 2 1/4 yds. red flannel, and 1 pair of stockings." George Jasper Heiss gave a deposition in 1755 (in Egle's Notes and Queries of Pennsylvania, 1700s-1800s, Annual Volume 1897, XXVII, p. 155,) regarding the massacre. Also see scanned copy of the Philadelphia Gazette of Dec 18, 1755 online at <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~marier/1755_gazette.htm> Thanks in advance for any thing you can add!! Joan Hise Bancroft
