My family ancestors on my paternal grandmother's side were Dunkards. The ones I am familiar with were in early PA and one of my great grandfathers in the mid to late 1700's was instrumental in building of one Brethren church building that is still standing today in Berks County, PA. His name was Martin Gaby (Gauby). My family of Brethren, which included the Fiant (Fiandt) line migrated to Ohio and on to Indiana. I have a Bargerhuff (Bargerhoff) family that went from VA into Indiana in the early 1800's. Has anyone seen that name? Thanks, Shelia Michael sheliamichael@tularosa.net
I'd be interested also in knowing more about the beliefs of the Dunkards. Were these organized churches? Does anyone know the names of the Dunkard churches in Hardy County - probably in the Petersburg area? My ancestor, Henry Lowderman (Louderman) was a Dunkard. He left Hardy County in early 1800s and settled in Fayette County, Ohio.

of note about dunkard churches. women did not wear pants to church until in very recent years. as a member of calvary church of the brethren in winchester, va. even girls did not wear pants. this was true when left the church to join another . church of the brethren do not believe in military service/war. the dunkard name from baptists (german baptist church of 1800s). river baptism was preferred until recent years - say 50s. many churches did not have their own baptismal fonts. was baptised at a church in front royal, va. because our brethren church did not have a font until new church was built in 1970s or thereabouts. church of the brethren (dunkards) also had part time ministers who often stayed for only a term and not indefinitely. ministers had other jobs until in recent years when were employed on full time basis. a good source for info could be found at handley regional library archives written by floyd wine who was part time min. at calvary church of brethren in winchester for a number of years. s >From: "Shirley Pawlowski" <spawlow6@hotmail.com> >Reply-To: wvhardy@rootsweb.com >To: wvhardy@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [WVHARDY] Dunkards >Date: Mon, 02 Oct 2006 20:40:17 -0400 > > >I'd be interested also in knowing more about the beliefs of the Dunkards. >Were these organized churches?

have seen early records of originally german baptist church 1897 which is today newdale church of brethren in needmore, wv. on parker hollow rd. (formerly kimseys run rd). early on men had to wear facial hair and women long hair which was covered into modern days by an opaque white cap that only covered crown of head. sins were confessed in church before congregation. if a woman was pregnant out of wedlock she had to tell the members who the father was or be excommunicated. folks were kicked out for what we would consider small offenses: making moonshine, writing bad checks, language, etc.. perhaps should say offenses whereby you should really be in church? the love feasts or communion suppers were large events where mutton was prominant in early days and people actually washed each others feet around a table. there were 2 doors at the front of church and women and men entered through each sex' door/men thru men's and women thru women's. does this help? this is info noted when read the church's early record book. s >From: <rosebud4242@peoplepc.com> >Reply-To: wvhardy@rootsweb.com >To: <WVHARDY@rootsweb.com> >Subject: [WVHARDY] Dunkards >Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 14:51:50 -0700 > >Can someone tell me about his church?
