Hi Vee, Thank-you for sharing you poem with us. I too saved for every weekend. Shortly after I turned 30 I was able to get my first horse. That was 20+ years ago and now I have 3 horses. I'm going to print out your poem and put it on the bulletin board at my barn. I know my friends will enjoy it. Thanks again. Dianne

I am seeking information on the Freiman Family of East Penn, Carbon County, Pa. I have seen spellings as Friman, Freyman, Freiman and Frieman and would be interested in info on any of them from the Carbon or Lehigh County areas. Mauch Chunk, Mahoning/ Ashfield. My particular interest is in establishing parentage of Sarah Friman who married my GG GF Asa Fish of Susquehanna County Pa who was working in the mining district at Mauch Chunk in the mid 1840's. He married Sarah Friman in 1848. She is perhaps the daughter of Daniel Freiman and wife Susanna of Ben Salem Church, East Penn, Carbon County. Sponsors were Abraham and Barbara Freiman. Any help would be most appreciated, Thank you, George Morris inky@cityusa.com ==== PENNA-DUTCH Mailing List ==== Forgot how to SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE?

WATSON'S ANNALS OF PHILADELPHIA Vol. 2 Page 108 Printed in 1857 written circa 1840 HISTORICAL NOTICES OF LANCASTER, AND LANCASTER COUNTY Lancaster was laid out as a town in 1728. In 1729 Lancaster county was erected out of part of Chester county. The German settlers, in consequence of the new county being formed, applied to the proper authorities for leave to enjoy the rights and privileges of British subjects, which was granted. The law containing their names and their petition is signed by Emanuel Zimmerman, (now Carpenter), in behalf of others. A large number of Irish emigrants settled at Pequea, also sundry Welsh. A court house and prison is begun at Postlewaite's, and L 300 [pounds] were lent by the governor upon bills of credit to defray the same. L300 additional were afterwards lent to the same object. 1730, Stephen Atkinson built a fulling mill at great expense upon the Conestoga, but the inhabitants on the upper part of the creek assembled and pulled down the dam, as it prevented them from rafting and fishing. Mr. Atkinson then altered his dam with 20 feet passage for boats and fish. In 1731 a great excitement was caused throughout the settlements, by the shameful murder of three Indians, by the settlers on Swatara creek. This creek was called after a town in Ireland, by Mr. Patterson, one of the original settlers. In 1732 a violent contest for a member of assembly took place between Andrew Galbraith and John Wright. On that occasion, Mrs. Galbraith rode throughout the town at the head of a numerous band of horsemen, friends of her husband. In consequence of her activity, her husband was elected. In 1734 an Episcopal church was built in Conestoga, fifteen miles from Lancaster. The same year, a Lutheran church was built in Lancaster. The seat of Justice is removed from Postlewaite's to Lancaster, which last place, Hamilton laid out at the request of the proprietaries. In 1739, at the request of the Scots Presbyterian ministers and people, they were excused from "kissing the book", when giving their evidence on oath; the practice being contrary to the doctrine and worship of the church in Scotland. In 1742, a number of Germans stated that they had emigrated from Europe by an invitation from the proprietaries, and being attached to the OMISH doctrines, and that being conscientious as to oaths, they cannot procure naturalization by the present laws. Whereupon a law was made in conformity with their request. (Those Omish people wear long beards like the Dunkards, but have no places of worship, save their own private houses, and always retiring to a private and retired place, when inclined to pray. They have been excused from juries, in criminal cases, from their known inclination to acquit in cases of taking life. In 1743, at an election to supply the vacancy of Thomas Linley, the Irish compelled the sheriff to receive such tickets as they approved, and to make a return accordingly. The assembly cancelled, or so altered the return as to give the seat to Samuel Blunston. NOTE.---The proprietaries, in consequence of the frequent disturbances between the governor and Irish settlers, after the organization of York and Cumberland counties, gave orders to their agents to sell no lands in either York and Lancaster counties to the Irish; and also to make advantageous offers of removal to the Irish settlers on Paxton and Swatara, and Donegal townships, to remove to Cumberland county, which offers being liberal, were accepted by many. "Du verfluchter Irischer" used to be a frequent ejaculation of reproach in former days. In 1744, Murhancellin, an Indian chief, murdered John Armstrong and his two men on Juniata, and was apprehended by Captain Jack's party, but released after a confinement of several months in Lancaster prison. This year a treaty was made with the Indians, in Lancaster, by Conrad Weiser, interpreter and agent, &c. John Musser complained to the governor that the Indians barked his walnut trees, which stood in the town, designing the bark as covers to their cabins; he asked L 5 for damages, and was granted L 3. In 1745, the Episcopal church was partly completed. In the year 1745, the German pastor of the Lutheran church (built in 1734) united a portion of his congregation with the Moravians. A great ferment was excited among the Lutherans. The Lutherans alleged that they were compelled to hear a doctrine which they did not approve, or else to resign their church. The "dark swamp", once in the centre of Lancaster, was attempted to be cleared of wood, and a drain made to carry off the water. In 1749, James Webb complained to the general assembly of the undue election and return of a memeber from Lancaster county, and stating it was done by violence, and by many persons voting five to ten times severally, making 2300 votes out of 1000 ! The election was confirmed, but the managing officers were brought to the house and reprimanded. In 1751, at a large meeting held at Lancaster, it was resolved that a house of employment should be erected specially for the use of settlers, who had severely suffered from the hardships of new settlers and from the hostilities of Indians. A farm was procured and also implements for manufacturiing, &c. They made STOCKINGS there, which soon gave celebrity to Lancaster in that article. In 1758, the freemen of the county, by reason of the badness of the roads to Philadelphia, in spring and fall, pray to be excused from attendance there in the supreme court, and request a county court in lieu thereof. In 1759, in consequence of the distracted state of the country by Indian cruelties and French hostilities, a barrack was erected in Lancaster, to contain 500 men, for the security of the country. A petition of 1763, by settlers along the Conestoga, complains of its dams, as destroying the former fishery of shad, SALMON and rock fish, which were before in abundance, and the tributary streams had plenty of TROUT, --- all now gone. In 1764 occurred the terrible massacre of the Indians in the prison of Lancaster, where they were placed for security. A company of fifty men from Paxton, with blackened faces, armed and mounted, entered the town in full gallop, went to the prison and effected their cruel purposes. They had before destroyed the town of Conestoga manor, murdered six of the Indians, and burnt the place ! The Ephrata institution near Lancaster has hitherto been little understood; prejudice has served to distort facts in the case, so that, from Carey's Museum, --- in an article written by a British officer, down through Hannah Adams' "View", &c., Buck's Theological Dictionary, and even the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, there has been a successioon of misconceptions and mistatements concerning the community. They had nevertheless traits of character, which might redound more to the credit of the state and themselves than has been hitherto appreciated. For many years the institution was the seat of learning and the fine arts; and many families of Philadelphia and Baltimore resorted thither to have their children educated; and well the children loved the brotherhood. It contained some of the most learned men of the colony. Peter Miller, the prior, was employed by the government, and translated the Declaration of Independence into SEVEN different languages, to be sent to the courts of Europoe. They had one of the first printing presses in the state; and for a period of twenty years, did MORE book-printing than was done elsewhere in the whole province; and more ORIGINAL works were WRITTEN and PRINTED at Ephrata, during the time it flourished, than in any province of the union ! The FIRST SABBATH SCHOOL TOO, ON RECORD, was established there: for as early as 1740, full forty years earlier than Robert Raikes' much applauded system was known in England, this one at 'Ephrata was begun by LUDWIG STRECKER and others, which continued under good auspices, down to the year 1777. Music was much cultivated; BEISSEL was a first rate musician and composer. In composing sacred music he took his style from the music of nature; and the whole, comprisinig several large volumes, are founded on the tones of the AEolian harp --- the singing is the AEolian harp harmonized. It is very peculiar in its style and concords, and in its execution. The tones issuing from the choir imitate very soft instrumental music; conveying a softness and devotion almost superhuman to the auditor. Their music is set in two, four, five, and seven parts. All the parts, save the bass, are led and sung exclusively by females, the men being confined to the bass, which is set in two parts, the high and low bass --- the latter resembling the deep tones of the organ, and the first, in combination with one of the female parts, is an excellent imitation of the concert horn. The whole is sung on the FALSETTO voice, the singers scarcely opening their mouths, or moving their lips, which throws the voice up to the ceiling, which is not high, and the tones, which seem to be more than human, at least so far from common church singing, appear to be entering from above, and hovering over the heads of the assembly. Their singing so charmed the commissioners who were sent to visit the society by the English government, after the French war, that they requested a copy to be sent to the Royal family in England; which was cheerfully complied with, and which I understand is still preserved in the National Library. About twelve months afterwards a box was received of three or four feet long, and two or two and a half wide, containing a present in return. What the present was is not now certainly known --- none having seen it but FRIEDSAM and JABEZ, who was then prior, and into whose care it was consigned. It was buried secretly by him, with the advice of BEISSEL. It is supposed, by a hint given by JABEZ, that it was images of the king and queen, in full costume, or images of the Saviour on the cross, and the Virgin Mary; supposing, as many in this country have erroneously thought, that the people of Ephrata possess many of the Catholic principles and feelings. The king, at whose instance they were sent, was a German, and we may presume that he considered that they retained the same views as the monastic institutions of Europe. They have nearly a thousand pieces of music, a piece being composed for every hymn. This music is lost entirely now, at Ephrata --- not the music books, but the style of singing; they never attempt it any more. It is, however, still preserved and finely executed, though in a faint degree, at SNOWHILL, near the Antietam creek, in Franklin county, of this state; where there is a branch of the society, and which is now the principal settlement of the Seventh Day Baptists. They greatly outnumber the people of Ephrata, and are in a flourishing condition. There they keep up this institution as originally established at Ephrata, and are growing rapidly. Their singing which is weak in comparison with the old Ephrata choir, and may be likened to the performance of an overture by a musical box, with its execution by a full orchestra in the opera house, is so peculiar and affecting, that when once heard, it can never be forgotten. The PEQUEA VALLEY, besides having been the loved home of the Delawares, is still the chosen and fruitful region of their successors, the prosperous farmers of Lancaster county. At the first settlement of the county, it was selected as the preferred residence of sundry FRENCH FAMILIES of the persecuted Huguenots. They bore the names of Dubois, Boileau, Larroux, Lefevre,Esq., and some of their descendants remain there to the present day. A large quarto Bible, which Isaac Lefevre brought with him from France at that time, is now in the possession of John Lefevre, Esq., and held as a prized relic. The aforesaid names were also united with those of Charles De La Noe, a minister, and Andrew Dore, and some other Frenchmen, who had come out under the influence of William Penn, to form VINEYARDS, and to cultivate GRAPES, "up the Schuylkill". They, however, not succeeding to their expectation, felt prepared to avail themselves of a change to the Pequea valley, which was produced by the arrival, in 1712-13 of MADAME MARY FEREE, a widow lady, having with her three sons and three daughters, and coming to this land to seek a peaceful asylum from the persecutions of religious intolerance abroad. She had just lost her husband, a gentleman of eminence in France, by such persecution; and reaching England for refuge, she found friendship in William Penn and Queen Anne, by whom she was aided in her embarkation for America. She became possessed of four thousand acres of the best land in Pequea, recommended by Penn's agent, in this country, to her special notice: two thousand acres of which came by grant, and the other two thousand acres by purchase. To this place ALL THOSE FRENCH PEOPLE went for settlement, and were there heartily welcomed by the Indian king, Tanawa. When he died, soon after, all the Huguenots attended his burial; and his grave was marked with a pile of stones, which long remained to mark the place, --- on what is now called La Fayette hill, near Paradise. The church of All Saints now stands on what was the Indian burial ground. The name of Madame Feree is still remembered and venerated in the neighborhood of Paradise, where she settled, and gave, by grant of deed to trustees, the ground for general burial, as now used by the people there. Isaac Lefevre, before named, had lost both his parents by the massacre in France, and he arrived at Philadelphia, a youth of seventeen, in 1686; afterwards he became the husband of Catharine, the daughter of Madame Feree, and their son, by this marriage, was THE FIRST BORN white child in Pequea. Philip Feree married Leah, a daughter of Abraham Dubois. One of the Ferees became a friend. I have been indebted for sundry of these facts, to R. Conyngham, Esq., who has made himself acquainted with them by his residence in the town of Paradise. ********************************************************************** ************* Note: All words in capitals are italics in the book.

I just received a copy of a letter written March 12, 1886 by my husband's ggrandfather, Daniel Saylor. In this letter he states that his father was Jacob SAILOR b. abt. 1775 and lived in Berks Co., PA. He said his father had one brother that he knew of whose name was Christian, who went to OH. Jacob was married to Christine SNAVILL of NJ. Reading was their postoffice. Jacob and Christine SAILOR had the following children: John b. about 1800, he went to OH David b. 1802 Daniel b. 1803 d. 1889 PA>NJ>WI>MN Lydia b. abt. 1806 Jonas b. 1808 Isaac b. 1810 when last heard from in 1839 was living in Reading Catherine b. abt. 1812 Anyone have a connection with any of the above? Thank you, Dorothy Johnson Spirit Lake IA rondot@ncn.net

Does anyone have a book or listing of births/baptisms/marriages/deaths etc. from the St. Paul's Lutheran and Reformed Church (St. Pauls Blue Church) in Upper Saucon Twp.? I am researching the Rumfield/Rumfeld family in PA and understand that there were family members in this church. Is information from this church published somewhere. I would be happy to buy a book if it exists. I am in Minnesota and can't just run over there, so I would appreciate any information I can get. Thanks, Dick Sommer Stillwater, MN <rosommer@primenet.com>

Yeh, I know this has nothing to do with genealogy except my own life--50 years ago. And if you're looking for surnames, all I can give you right now are first names--Smokey, Lady, Buddy, Steel and Thunder (oh, he was a MEAN one!). Ah, yes, the horses that I have known! Recently I have been rummaging through my old scrapbook and such (since I have NOTHING else to to!!!!! :-D) and realized what a precious part horses played during my teenage years. My three girlfriends and I made our pilgrimage to nearby Grand Island, NY, every Saturday morning so that we could go horseback riding at Way-Bak-Ranch--actually just a farm that rented out horses on an hourly basis. And so we paid our saved up money and spent the $.50 an hour that it cost for the joy of climbing up on a horse (no nags, trust me!) and we rode off into the still-rising sun, comfortable in their Western saddles. Oh, the stories I could tell you about our horseback riding days! But unless encouraged, I'll just leave you with a poem I wrote when I was 16 years old (1947) that might give you an indication of what riding a horse meant to me then. TO RIDE To me there is nothing so wonderful now In these crisp cool days in the fall As to ride on a horse through the bright colored leaves And care about nothing at all. To ride all alone at a cantor or trot, Seeing trees and bushes go by In their jackets of scarlet, and russet and gold On a background of azure blue sky. To ride in the morning when dawn is just breaking And birds are beginning to rise, Or ride when the afternoon sun in its glory Is high in the cloudless sky. The best time of all is to ride in the evening There in the autumn’s cool breeze, Listening to crickets and frogs as they sing To the tune of the rustling leaves. Vee L. Housman Scene: Grand Island, NY Written ca 1947 Age 16

Dear Evelyn, Thank you. I could hardly wait for the next edition of your work. Haven't read it as yet, but I'm certainly looking forward to it. I'm having withdrawals from the Library. Things here have been so hectic for the last two months that the only contact I have with my research is through the Internet. Look forward to hearing more from you and the others. Sincerely, Joanna PS I tried sending this note privately and found I couldn't. I used <evelync@norfolk.infi.net> The message from delivery post is as follows. "Connection to norfolk.in failed.

About 6 months ago I posted in serial form an account of life in the refugee camps in England written by an unknown Palatine in 1711. That was follwed by an account of the first wave of Palatine immigrants in 1710, being 3200 Palatines relocated to the Schoharie area of New York by the English government. The third serial deals with the break away group from New York that came in 1723 to settle the Tulpehocken region of PA. On Sunday I will begin to repost these serials. If anyone misses any part of them please obtain a copy from a list friend or look for it on the PDL webpage. After the serials are reposted to the list I will retire them to the PDL webpage and post completely new serials to the list in a few months. rod

Donn--the tomatoes have to be ready to ripen even tho they are still green I piced a lot of them about 2 weeks ago and put them in brown paper bags and kept them in the kitchen ---they are all ripe now Don't put them too deep in the bag in case one starts to rot , you want to be able to find it and take it out. the ones that are starting to lighten up in color are the best to try . Don't keep them toocool they like heat to ripen Paula

Thanks for all the responses. Now I just need to decide which way and do it. Donn

Best tasting way, is to just put them in a window with a bit of sun that will not get hot and burn them, and they will ripen in a day or so. The warmth causes the chemicals to release and react, just like what the banana or apple in a bag does. >From: Donn Townsend <rdt1@psu.edu> >Subject: green tomatoes > >Has anyone out there got green tomatoes to ripen by wrapping them in >newspaper.

I am looking for information on the descendants of John (Johannes S.) RUMFIELD/RUMFELD. Here is what I have: John Rumfield b. 2/9/1784 m. Catharine Mohry b. 2/6/1785 d. 2/14/1871 Catharine is buried at Friedensville Church, Upper Saucon. Her Father was Peter Mohry 1757-1828. Mother Catharina Schlosser 1758-1837. I have two children for John and Catharine: Esther Rumfield b ? d ? Jonathan Rumfield b 5/28/1807 d. 11/2/1863 I am looking for other children of John and Catharine. The 1850 census apparently shows Catharine (widow) living with Israel Rumfield and his wife Matilda. Israel may be a son? I am trying to connect my gg-grandfather to his parents. His name was Peleg M. Rumfield b 1818 PA d. 1862 Meigs Co., OH. I understand it is an old PA Dutch tradition to name the first born son after the father's father. I believe Peleg's son John was his 1st son. Which, following this logic, would make his father's name John, as well. If anyone can help me with this line (or this line of thinking) I would appreciate it. I have gathered a bit of knowledge on the Rumfield/Rumfeld family if any one is interested.
