11651 The only relative among official witnesses to the marriage was Joseph Wagler (“Berse)), 29, farmer, living in Bruebach: film 0733968, 1831, #4.

The witnesses at the marriage of Jacob Berse and Catherine Ulrich were brother Joseph (now living at Bruebach), and the brothers Christian and Jacob Hirschi of the Birkenhof at Ruederbach.  
Family: Christian H. (Jacob) Wagler / Katharina Ulrich (F176)
 
11652 The origin of this family name is English. The name denotes one who came from Dent (hills) in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

Armes: Or, on a blend, sable three lozenges erminois. (See Dent gravestone in St. Andrews Episcopal cemetery, St. Mary’s County.)

The proving of English parentage of American settlers is most difficult and through the unscrupulousness of early as well as later genealogists many flagrant errors have been made. Most of what has been written seems to bear some credence. There is a market town on the bends of the river Dee in West Riding, Yorkshire named Dent. It is generally believed that the family derived its name from the town.
About 1318 Willielmus filius Roberti de Dent deeded land in the village of Wertherny (Wertherby?) for the use of the knights Templar. It later reverted to the Dent family and according to the Historical and Archeological Journal of Yorkshire it was still held by descendants in 1889. A list of freemen of Yorkshire in 1365 records the name of Willielmus de Dent, pacemaker. In 1365 Earle de Dent was granted the armes of the family at Yorkshire.
In addition it can be stated that the following has been proved with absolute certainty:
Peter Dent, naturalist and professor of Cambridge University recorded in 1684 the background of his family in Cambridgeshire Pedigrees in the Heralds Collage of London, England.
William Fenwick (a contemporary of King Henry VII) married Joane Musgrave who was co-heiress with her brother Thomas, Lord of Ryall and Heaton. They had at least one son, Sir John Fenwyke. 
Dent, Kt., Roger Sr. (I14817)
 
11653 The previous six generations are provisional.

Tenant farmer Jean Sommer, 63, was a witness to the death of Caspar Schrag (b. ca 1744-d.1794) on Sommerhof at Neuviller-la-Roche.

“The origin of the name Sommerhof (literally “summer farm” or “Sommer farm”) appears to be unclear. Some say the name came from the fact that the Sommer family had been leaseholders at the farm since the 1730s.” ….It is known that the Sommerhof was a dairy farm where cattle grazed on high meadows and that in 1790 the family also raised some hogs and made large quantities of cheese for sale.”

“Near the small chalet, hidden during our visit by logs felled during a fierce storm, M. Jeanpierre tells us there are the remnants of a Sommer cemetery , with the stones lying flat.” 
Sommer, Jean (I6424)
 
11654 The recollections of Christian's daughter Elizabeth, written in the 1930s:
"I was born in 1854 in a log cabin which contained only two rooms and no floors. The roof was made of clapboards. This cabin was situated along the Mackinaw River which was only two jumps wide. It is now about 80 feet wide. There were fourteen log cabins in the community where I was born. I was the last one born in the long [sic] house, for soon after that my father made his own bricks out of clay and built a brick house.

My father's wagon was made out of logs with broad axe and saw and not one pound of iron in it. I saw him work in the field with that wagon and three yoke of oxen a great number of times. He also built a log barn - 70 ft. by 40 ft. My father made his own plow out of wood. This was a one-horse plow and it took one row for one round.

We always went to church in the wagon. The church was twenty five miles away. In those days church services were held in houses, while now it is held in buildings used for that purpose only. In years after, we rode in spring wagons. Now automobiles are used almost entirely, and if it rains we can't get there.

My father put the wheat and grain on the barn floor and threshed it out with clubs. Now all farmers have threshing machines. He put the corn on the barn floor and stamped it out with horses, fanned it, put it in sacks, and took it to market. Now corn shellers are used. He cut his grain with a cradle and one of us had to follow with the garden rake and make bundles, another to bind it. They now have a machine which does both cutting and threshing.
It always seemed that my father was blessed, for he was never too tired or busy for family worship. God blessed him with six children. My father was born in 1812 and was always a hard working man. He died when he was 82 years of age.

I think the old days were a blessing and a comfort. The times now are so different that they are hard to get used to. I think the automobiles and high ways of living spoil things. Then the neighbors helped each other without pay; now it is pay for every quarter of an hour. During the years 1861, '62, and '63, the Civil War was fought. Two of my uncles were drafted but my father bought substitutes for them. The Civil War and also the World War are sad memories.

I was married in 1873 to Mr. Andrew Ulrich. We lived with my folks for two years and then moved in 1875 to Harlen farm, a mile and a half east of Deer Creek. From the Harlen place, we moved to Deer Creek. We raised four children. I have fourteen grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. My husband died February 13, 1919. Since then I have lived alone. Up to this time I have made 168 quilts.

God blessed me and still does, for he keeps me well. My wish is that God may bless the whole relationship." 
Zehr, Elizabeth (I1084)
 
11655 The record of child Hans Schrag (b. 1684) reads: “Niclaus Schrag zu Leumberg, Wittlig (widower) ...Dises Kinds Eltern habend einander die Ehe versprochen...(The parents of this child have promised to marry). They married 30 May 1684.”

Nicolaus noted as Widower at baptism of Hans in 1684.?

11657 The Schrag surname is interpreted as a nickname for a carpenter or a cabinetmaker. "Schrage" in German means a holder or frame from crossed woods used for framework building. The spelling of the surname changed to Schrack, or Chraque in France--Schrock in America. "Schrag/Schrock comes from Schrage (an old name for a special wood combination.)"

In Southern Alsace along the Rhine River, south and east of Colmar, refugees came directly to these towns from Switzerland. Among the refugees listed at Jebsheim after 1700 were: 1700-Ulrich Birky, Steffisburg, worker; 1712-Gaspard (Casper) Schrag and Elisabeth Leyenberger of Wynigen.

!!This individual, Caspar b. 1685, who married Elsbeth Leyenberger, can be traced back to Switzerland, and through him all of the other Anabaptist Schrag branches. 

Virgil Miller, in his book "Both Sides of the Ocean" lists the refugees at Jebsheim, Alsace after 1700 and includes the fact that Gaspard (Caspar) Schrag and Elisabeth Leyenberg of Wynigen were married in 1712 (evidently in Jebsheim). Virgil Miller's research is probably correct.  This means son Caspar was born no later than September/October of 1711 (in Wynigen?), since Anne was born in June of 1712. 

Caspar, as well as other Schrag families moved into the Palatinate area around Zweibrücken. They lived in various places in the Palatinate, including Heckenaschbacherhof, Kaplaneyhof and Ingeweilerhof before leaving for America or going to Lorraine.


Schrag-Schrocks came to America at various times and by a number of routes--before 1800 via northern Alsace and the Palatinate, and after 1870 via Volhynia, Russia. The Schrags were one of three prominent Amish names that originate in the Emmental (along with Troyer and Schwarzentruber).

"In a list of Anabaptists in the Staatsarchiv in Bern, Switzerland, two brothers, Christian and Bendicht Schrag, sons of Ulrich Schrag, are named in 1765. They move from Wynigen-Leumberg in Switzerland to the Munstertal. About this time Schrags of Zweibrücken were already living here. Ulrich Schrag, who is leaseholder (Bestander) on the Ernstweilerhof in 1735, was a son of Caspar Schrag. A Casper Schrag is on the Ingeweilerhof in 1761. It is not clear whether these two individuals were father and son or brothers; the author assumes the latter. In that case, they would both be sons of Caspar Schrag, the father of Ulrich Schrag, who does not otherwise appear in the Palatinate. The following arrangement of descendants of the two brothers has not been proven and is based in part on assumptions." 
Schrag, Caspar (I1019)
 
11658 The Schrags originated from Wynigen, Switzerland. Schrags were identified as "Anabaptists" at Wynigen, Leumberg, and Mistleberg in Canton Bern as early as 1700. Schrag is listed as a surname in the 1798 Bürgerverzeichnisse (census) of Canton Bern, Switzerland. Schrag, Hanns (I5461)

11660 The ship France sailed from Le Havre and arrived at New York July 12, 1833. Gary L. Yordy found the passenger list, which includes this grouping from France:

Pete Ulrich 30 carpenter [Christian Wagler]
Catherine Ulrich 23 [his wife, Catherine Ulrich]
Peter Ulrich 2 [their son, Peter Jacob Wagler]
Ludwick Schoften 28 [unknown]
Peter Ulrich 60 [Christian's father-in-law Peter Ulrich]
Catherine Lowber 55 [Christian's mother-in-law Catherine Lauber
——————————
The 'Christian Wogler' household appears on the 1840 census of Ross, Butler County. It is checked off as two males under 5 [Christian H. and Joseph]; one male 5-10 [Peter]; one male 10-15; one male 30-40 [Christian]; one female under 5 [Barbara]; one female 5-10 [Katharina/Catherine]; and one female 30-40 [Catherine Ulrich]. Christian worked as a finishing carpenter in Ohio.

The family came to Tazewell County in 1844. The household appears on the 1850 census of Tazewell County as farmer Christian Wagler, 51, France; Catharine, 54, France; Peter, 17, France; Catharine, 16, Ohio; Christian, 14, Ohio; Barbara, 13, Ohio; Joseph, 12, Ohio; and Isaac, 10, Ohio. From the names of their next door neighbors, it is apparent that they were already living on Allentown Road at Elm Grove: Valentine, Andrew, and Joseph Birky were holding land awaiting the arrival of their father Valentine from Bavaria.
By 1860 the Elm Grove household consisted of oldest son Peter Wagler, 27, France; Catherine, 21; Illinois; and Christian, 7 months, Illinois. On the 1870 census Peter's family has moved to Morton, while the parents and two sons have return to the Elm Grove farm: farmer Christian Wagler, 67, France; Catharine, 71; Joseph, 35; and Christian, 34. The 1880 census shows Catharine, 83, living with her son Joseph, 42, at Elm Grove.

Taken from "Roanoke Centennial History”:

The first newspaper in Roanoke was published in 1884, and was called the Era. The publisher was George Holton. It was published in the basement of the Audi building which today houses Lorene's.
It was established at the time of the county seat contest in 1883 and, when the election failed to remove the county seat from Metamora to Roanoke, its publication was abandoned. It did not continue over one year. There is one issue of the Era in existence today.

June 28, 1895 - Quite an exciting runaway occurred on our streets this afternoon. About 4 o'clock Peter Ulrich, Jr., was coming up Broad Street when his team became unmanageable, throwing him out just before they passed The Call office. They turned too short at the corner of Main Street upsetting Theo Herbst's buggy, breaking a wheel. After running down Main a block they turned west, passed the post office and ran into a tree at the Brubaker corner, where they were caught. Mr. Ulrich had barely started them up, when away they went for another spin. At Rapp's corner he was again thrown out, the neck yoke broke, letting the tongue down and things began to look serious, when they turned into A. Rapp's yard, and were again brought to a stand still by a catalpa tree. By this time the whole town was out. Mr. Ulrich had a small bone in his hand broke, but escaped very fortunate. 
Ulrich, Peter Jr. (I416)
 
11661 The ship list with Johannes and Peter and families lists Madeleine Gerrard, 19, within the Schrag families that arrived in Baltimore in 1831.
 
Schrock (Schrack), Magdalena (I473)
 
11662 The site of Burgwalden had once been an estate of the wealthy Fugger family of merchants from Augsburg. During the Middle Ages, the Fugger family applied their wealth to diverse ends that included both influencing election of the Holy Roman Emperor and establishing affordable housing for the poor.

The first four children of Christian arrived in America on the ship Charles Hill in 1854. 
Guth, Christian (I40)
 
11663 The son of Frederick M. Weirich, born in Germany, and Caroline Parks, born in Beaufort, Franklin Co., Missouri.

He was unmarried when he died age 19 of tuberculosis.

His death certificate states he was buried at Champion City Cemetery. Informant was Charles F. Weirich of Champion City, probably his father. 
Weirich, Otto Samuel (I1277)
 
11664 The Southern Literary Messenger, 1839, Vol. 5, Pg. 293, lists William Goolsby as the longest lived person on record from Albemarle Co., Va. His wife is listed as living to 105 years old.

The 1810 Census for Albemarle Co., lists a William Goolsby as living in the region of the county called St. Anne's Parish. It could be that he is buried at that parish churchyard, or perhaps on his land nearby. In any case during the 1810 census he would have been 100 years old.

There is a great Obituary from the Richmond Times Dispatch about Mr. Goolsby. 
Goolsby, William (I16318)
 
11665 The State Archive in Munich records “that from January 15, 1831, the Anabaptist families of Heinrich, Jakob, and Joseph Stalter became part owners of the property, House No. 6, belonging to the Queen of Bavaria”—a small piece of land about 60 sq. meters.

Joseph Stalter buys from the Bavarian Queen Friederike Wilhelmine Caroline von Bayern, widow of the late King of Bavaria the Oswald property house number: 4 with 283 days of work 4,050 guilders. In the police register of Munich Joseph has sold his property in 1838 for 14,500 guilders. 
Stalter, Josef (I85)
 
11666 The story of Niclaus Schrag b. 1717 is to say the least a very confusing one. Much of the confusion seem to stem from the assumption that the three Schrock men who came to Somerset Co. PA in the mid-1700s were brothers. DNA results seem to indicate otherwise. In fact there were likely two different families involved. The following scenario is derived from notes by Greta Schrock compiled in 2015.
An interesting note Greta shared is that once in America Claus changed his name to Michael, which would help explain the loss of a paper trail.
The name Niclaus Schrock was found in the registry of a ship named "Peggy” that arrived at Philadelphia PA in 1753. One small problem with this is that Peter Schrag states in his family tree that Niclaus died in 1748, at the age of 31. The registry said he was 34 and had 3 children with him. One child was aged 8 and there were 2 others, ages unknown. Using the birth date of 1745 for Caspar would make him the 8 year old. Mary Louise also quotes from a different source saying, “one of the boys, presumed 7 years of age, was very ill and was carried from Philadelphia to their first home in Berks County Pa on the back of his older brother.”
In July the 1984 Issue of “Mennonite Family History” is a deed showing that Casper got a deed to land in Somerset County, Pa in 1773 and an article by Joe Irvin says this is about year Casper came to America, which if you go by the 1745 date, he would have been 28 and at this age. He could have returned to Europe for family and returned around 1770. This land is where the old Schrock cemetery is today. There is also a findgraveIndex of a Casper Schrock 1745, who married a Catherine Bloug. There is little doubt that a young Caspar was accompanied by two brothers and we might even concede their name were John and Ulric. But not the two by the same name who came 15 or so years later.






Niclaus and (2?) sons migrated to America in 1754. 
Schrag, Niclaus (I5517)
 
11667 The surname BIKE is used on the certificate of death. Other sources use Birky. Birky, Barbara (I113)
 
11668 The tomb of Elizabeth bears a pathetic epitaph, reproduced below:

In der Blüte abgerissen
Eilst of the früh dem Grabe zu
O so nimm zum Sterbekissen
Elterntränen mit zur Ruh

Torn in the prime of life
You hurry early to the grave
O, take away, to rest your head
In your rest, a cushion of tears from your parents 
Jordy, Elisabeth (I13214)
 
11669 The two children may have lived with their Schwartzentruber relatives after the death of their mother. Schwartzentruber, Catherine (I10820)
 
11670 The wedding was at home with her Uncle Christian officiating.  Family: Daniel K. Roth / Catherine Ropp (F3520)
 
11671 The will of George Sr. was dated April 5, 1746 and probated June 7, 1750. Son John received 100 acres. Son George, High Sheriff of Charles County 1754/55, received 50 acres and the un-inventoried remainder was divided among Peter, Thomas and William. Various articles of personal property and Negroes were bequeathed to his daughters.

11672 The Wynigen entry said the baby was brought in by Jost Schrag der J?ng von Löumberg (if this was the grandfather, he was not a junior), but did not name the parents. Schrag, Hans (I6905)
 
11673 The youngest daughter of Joseph Schertz, Elisabeth unites her destiny in November 1879 to David Daniel Saltzmann, then miller at the Neuve Grange. In 1883 their son drowned in the Saar River. On the 11th of November, 1893, Sarrebourg 's municipal council rejected, two days after the death of Joseph Schertz, his request for the maintenance of a bridge over the Saar, on the ground that the bridge was a private property.

The cessation of activity of the Rotmuhle mill is not known, but Michel Mozimann still exercised his job at the birth of the last son Henry in 1901 (deceased at Sarrebourg prison) 1942). He died in 1929 and his wife died in 1850 at Diane-Capelle and Elisabeth Brachpiller married in 1874 Marie Augster at Turquestein; he was a miller at Niderhoff on this date, at Neuve Grange. As for Peter, the brother of John, who was miller at Niderhoff, he died in 1872 at Fraquelfing,
Madeleine Salzmann in 1944 in Niderhoff.
