| 5203 | From the Genealogical Magazine "Families" By Ewart W. Blackmore The William Dunmead Family - Niagara Peninsula Connections with New Jersey William Dunmead (also spelled Dunmaid, Dunmeade, Dunmeads, Dunmeeds, Donmeads, Dunmede) enlisted in the First Battalion of New Jersey Volunteers under Lt. Col. Joseph Barton on March 22, 1779, as a private. The New Jersey Volunteers, commanded by Brigadier General Courtland Skinner, were organized in September , 1776. It ultimately enlisted 2, 450 men of whom the great majority were natives of the province. Skinner's men came probably from a pool of some 13,000 potentially active loyalists who with their families made up more than 35% of New Jersey's population. After the American Rebellion, the New Jersey Volunteers were moved to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on the ships , Duke of Richmond and the Richard Davis on October 6th to 12th, 1783. After several years many of the loyalists returned to New York only to find that the bitter feelings toward them still existed and that it was too soon for a loyalist to seek to return. This happened to Col. Samuel Ryerse and others. In the fall of 1796, William Dunmead and his family came to the Niagara area where they stayed with John Decou in Thorold. Having taken the oath of allegiance and signed the declaration before William Dickson J.P., Wm. Dunmead petitioned the Crown for 300 acres of land on April 28, 1797. A land grant was authorized by Order-in-Council of May 2, 1797, and Warrant #1804 was issued as authority for the Surveyor General to determine a land location for Wm. Dunmead. It should be noted that many disbanded private soldiers who had been living in New Brunswick as hired men on farms or as workers in saw mills or grist mills, joined in the trek to Upper Canada. All three battalions of the New Jersey Volunteers show that many sergeants and corporals moved to Upper Canada; so it can be assumed that privates went in great numbers as well. The first wave of military settlers reached its peak around the turn of the century. There seems to have been a delay in granting William Dunmead his land because of the request to produce a copy of his discharge certificate from a Captain of his Regiment. Meanwhile, William Dunmead moved to Finch's Mills, later known as Old New Port, the Glen, next as Cross and Fisher's Landing and finally as Fisher's Glen. Here he was burnt out when his house was destroyed along with Titus Finch's saw and grist mills, distillery, barn and house. William received £25 as compensation from the government. This was on May 14, 1814. There is also a record of repair to a government boat by a William Dunman who is presumed to be William Dunmead at Turkey Point on August 13, 1812. The payment was made in New York currency by W.D.Brown, Major commanding, but recorded as £0-3-9. On the 6th June 1815, Thomas Hollowood of Bayham in the District of London, son of the late Thomas Hollowood of the Kings American Regiment and son-in-law of William Dunmead, gave a deposition at the Home District at York before John Small, J.P. that William Dunmead was still alive and residing in Bayham Township and had been so all during the war of 1812-14. In March of 1820, W. Burwell, J.P. for the London District, certified as to the loyalty of William Dunmead, and he stated that it was out of the latter's power to obtain the necessary certificates from his regiment. On March 8th, 1820, W. Burwell, acting as agent for Mr. William Dunmead paid the surveying fees of £1-7-6 on two hundred acres under regulation of 1796. Little is known of William Dunmead's family. A daughter was married to Deacon Thomas Hollowood of Port Burwell, Bayham Township. Presumably a son, William, stayed behind in New Brunswick where he enlisted in the New Brunswick Fensible Infantry on October 24, 1803, being one of the earliest to join and on 12 November 1803, he was promoted to corporal in Capt. John Jacque's Company. He remained at Fredericton and was promoted to sargeant on 15th August, 1804. On 2nd May, 1805, he was reduced to private; then promoted to corporal again on 25th August, 1805, and to sargeant on 25th September 1807, but then he was reduced to private again on 11th April 1808. In 1808 he was sent to Cape Breton. On 4th February 1811, the New Brunswick Fensible Infantry were taken into the 104th Foot, a regular British army regiment. The regiment marched to Quebec and on to Kingston in March 1813, but William Dunmead Jr. remained at Cape Breton until rejoining the main regiment at Kingston in October, 1814. The regiment took part in the battle at Lundy's Lane. By August 1815, the regiment had returned to Quebec, and by August 1816 it was at Montreal. Meanwhile, on 25th December, 1814, William Dunmead Jr., was again promoted to corporal in #8 Company; he was reduced to private on 24th August 1816, but he was raised to corporal again in the #11 Company on 25th November, 1816. The 104th Regiment remained at Montreal until it was disbanded on 24th May, 1817. Nothing further is known at this time of Wm. Dunmead, Jr. Another son, John, who was a stonemason, enlisted in the 4th Lincoln Regiment*. He is shown to be in Captain Abram Nelles' Flank Company in July, 1812 as a private; in 1814 he was in Captain Henry Nelles' Company. He married Mary Ross of Lincoln County, Clinton Township, near Beamsville on January 1, 1815 at Grimsby. He first met his wife-to-be when he was locked up as a prisoner of war in an old house on the Niagara frontier, and she risked her life in letting him out. She was assisting the commissariat in provisioning the troops as they passed from point to point. * The 4th Lincoln Regiment was formed at Grimsby to fight the Americans who came across from the Niagara River and advanced as far as Stoney Creek during the early part of the 1812-14 War.The Americans took a number of Canadians as prisoners at various times during these advances. UPPER CANADA LAND PETITIONS Joshua Nunn's petition states that he came into the area with his step father, William Dunmead, so we can assume William Dunmead's wife had died and he had married the widow Nunn and Joshua and Benjamin Nunn are her children. Both Joshua Nunn and William Dunmead make their mark and Benjamin Nunn's says 'for Benjamin Nunn, Paul Averill', and both William Dunmead's and Joshua Nunn's are dated 28th April, 1797, with Benjamin's being dated 9th May, 1797.

| 5206 | From: Your Moerschfelder Heritage by Shirley Meadows and Nina Moerschfelder Snider Christian Moerschfelder and his wife Magdalena Weaver Christian Moerschfelder was born August 6, 1811 and died February 23, 1856 at the age of 44 years, 6 months and 17 days. We don't know when or how many of Christian's family came here, but we are told that they came from Alsace-Lorraine, Germany, mainly for reasons of Religious Persuasion. First they came from Pennsylvania possibly to Humberstone and area and then to Rainham Township. We also know from a will of Christian in February of 1856 that he had a brother Nicholas in Buffalo, New York, and another brother Jacob in the Township of Humberstone, County of Welland. On April 21, 1841 Christian purchased 82 acres of land from Edward Evans for one hundred pounds. This land comprised the western half of lot 17 in the 3rd concession of the Township of Rainham and still remains in the Moerschfelder family. It is presently owned by Allen Moerschfelder who is a great grandson of Christian. We do not know when the marriage of Magdalena and Christian took place. Magdalena Weaver was the daughter of Nicholas Weaver Sr. She was born July 6, 1815 and died June 19, 1853 at the age of 37 years, 11 months and 13 days. She came to the Niagara area in the early 1830s along with her parents, 2 sisters and 4 brothers from Falsburg, Alsace. Apparently they met in the Humberstone area and must have spent some time there until they came to Rainham in 1841. Christian Moerschfelder's Will: In Her Majesty's Surrogate Court of the County of Haldimand Whereas Christian Moerschfelder late of the township of Rainham in the County of Haldimand Yeoman deceased who died on or about the twenty third day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty six at the said Township and who was at the time of his death had his fixed place of abode at the said township of Rainham in the said County of Haldimand.

| 5207 | George Wolfe witnesses Norfolk Instrument No. 31, B & S dated August 26th, 1800, for 2000 acres of land in Walpole and Rainham Townhips from Captain John Dochstader to David Hoover as "George Wolfe, Fuller, of the Township of Walpole." George Wolfe purchases all of Lot 23, Concession 2, Walpole, 200 acres, from David Hoover on September 13th, 1800. His wife Susannah receives the front part of Lot 24, Concession 1, Walpole, 100 acres, from her brother David Hoover on September 13th, 1800. From Dr. T. T. S. Harrison's Memories: "Another arbitrary, quarrelsome and thoroughly hated man, was Matthew Gilmour, who lived on Gates Point, where he and his wife are buried. He was in perpetual warfare with his neighbours, particular the Sternamans and Wolfes, at the mouth of Stoney Creek. One morning, just at sunrise, during the war, a man in American uniform, rowing a skiff, put into the mouth of Stoney Creek. Gilmour was lying tied in the boat. Wolfe came down to the shore and said, "So you have got the old devil, have you?" "Yes," they said, "and we wish you to help row him down the lake." Wolfe said he would help take him anywhere in order to get rid of him. They started to pull away, and then untied Gilmour and made Wolfe himself a prisoner. It was a trick of Gilmour's to spite the Government. They took him to Peter Walker's at the mouth of Patterson's Creek. Leaving him in charge of Mrs. Walker. She advised him to run, which he did." George Wolfe is accused of being a Traitor during the War of 1812 and about 1813 moves to Clarence, New York. His 200 acres are confiscated by the Forfeited Estates Commission. George Wolfe of the Township of Clarence, in the County of Erie, State of New York, Yeoman, and Susannah his Wife, sell her 100 acres to George Boyer in 1834. On the 1820 Census of New York, County of Niagara, Town of Clarence is: George Wolf on Page 58 seven from the bottom with 1 0 0 2 0 1 1 1 1 0 1. Males: to 10, to 16, to 18, to 26, to 45, 45 &c, Females: to 10, to 16, to 18, to 26, to 45, 45 &c On the 1850 Census of Saline, Washtenaw, Michigan are: George Wolf, 72, Male, Value of Real Estate 300, born Pa Susannah Wolf, 83, Female, born Pa Elizabeth Wolf, 40, Female, born Canada Mary Wolf, 38, Female, born Canada By 1850 George and Susannah are living in the Township of Saline, County of Washtenaw, Michigan. Their last known residence on their son Jacob's death certificate is listed as Michigan. On the 1850 Census it says "Value of Real Estate owned" and George Wolfe's is listed at 300. We assume at this point Susannah Hoover and her husband George Wolfe died and are buried in Michigan. | Wolfe, George (I00025)

| 5210 | Gospel Herald - Volume XIX, Number 1 - April 1, 1926, pages 14, 15. Werner. - George Werner was born in Rainham Twp., Ont., Jan. 4, 1839; died at his home in the same locality, March 21, 1926; aged 87 y. 2 m. 17 d. He was married to Catherine Hoover in 1864, who preceded him in death in 1920. To this union were born 9 children, 2 of whom died in infancy, and the eldest son, Elven, in his 40th year.

Werner was one of the pioneer settlers of Rainham Township. He with his wife settled near Fisherville, where they cleared for themselves a home in the forest. He was a lover of the Bible and Church, and his heart regretted the present-day drift from these sacred things of God. He was a lover of humanity, especially appreciating the many visits of his friends during the latter years of his life. He was a lover of song and sang many songs to himself in his last hours. He longed to pass over, expressed frequently the question as to why he should stay. He was buried in the Hoover Mennonite Cemetery, Selkirk, Ont. Bro. C. F. Derstine, Kitchener, Ont., preached from the text, Eccl. 12:5. "Man goeth to his long home." | Werner, George (I1100778)

| 5211 | Gospel Herald - Volume XIX, Number 4 - April 22, 1926, pages 94, 95. Werner. - Rosetta, nee Hoover, was born in Rainham Township, Haldimand Co., Ont., Sept. 28, 1876; died at the Hospital, Hamilton, Ont., April 2, 1926, following an operation for toxic goitre, from which she suffered ill effects for about a year. She passed away in her fiftieth year. She was married to Bro. Milton Werner of the Rainham congregation June 24, 1907. She is survived by her beloved husband, five children (Catharine, Carl, John, David, and Daniel), two brothers (A. Erwin, and Jacob) and two sisters (Mrs. Minnie Mannix and Mrs. Jennie Yeager). At the age of fifteen years, Sister Werner was converted and united in Christian fellowship with the Rainham congregation, of which she was a devoted member and earnest worker. In all of the Church's activities she was most deeply interested and took an active part. She enjoyed her Christian experience and was happy in her work and labor for the Master. Her life was an inspiration to others with whom she associated and her self-sacrificing character made her a blessing to all who knew her. The Church and neighborhood will greatly miss her presence and help, but her life lives on in what she has done and in the influence for good which she has left in other's lives. It was a great joy to her that during the past year and shortly before her departure two of her children confessed faith in the Lord whom she loved and served. That which she lived for had begun to bear fruit to the glory of God. Other fruits will follow. The burial service was very largely attended on April 6, at the Rainham Church. Services were conducted by Brethren S. F. Coffman and C. F. Derstine. Interment in the Mennonite burying ground near by. | Hoover, Rosetta (I1274593)

Lewis Fretz, assisted by Amzey and Urias Martin of Elmira, and Abram Smith of Markham. Burial was made in the Lake Shore Cemetery. | Helka, Norman Clayton (I1130699)

| 5213 | Gospel Herald, January 1919: Hoover. - Daniel Hoover was born near Selkirk, Ont., May 13, 1838; died at the home of his son-in-law, Dec. 9, 1918; aged 80 y. 6 m. 26 d. He was the eldest of a family of eleven children, 9 of whom survive. 0n Dec. 22, 1869, he was married to Catharine Moyer, who survives him. He also leaves 2 sons and 3 daughters. In May, 1872, they united with the Mennonite Church, in which faith he was always a believer. We can look back over time and remember the advice of a Christian father. Since time permits me to remember he always found time to read a portion of his Bible each day and his place was never vacant in the church unless sickness prevented. He had always enjoyed the best of health until the past three years when he suffered from bronchitis and heart trouble. About 3 months before his death, on account of high blood pressure his mind was deranged for about 6 weeks; but he recovered from that and enjoyed fairly good health until he slept peacefully away.

| 5216 | Harvey Sider ?Work and people are what my life is all about.? This was a statement that Harvey Ray Sider used to describe himself. This journey began when Harvey was born on June 20, 1930 in Cheapside, Ontario. After completing elementary and secondary school, he attended Teacher?s College in 1949. Harvey taught school and was a principal in the Jarvis and Selkirk communities until 1957. During this time, he also completed his Bachelor of Arts degree at Western University and later a Master of Theology degree from Winona Lake School of Theology. In 1957, he married Erma Jean Heise. They served in ministry in Toronto for four years at Donlands BIC Church and then in Bihar, India for 12 years (1962-1974) where he was the superintendent of the mission. Although Harvey left India, India never fully left Harvey. He spoke fluent Hindi, travelled more than 150,000 kms by train, was bitten by a poisonous snake, and, most importantly, was highly respected by his Indian colleagues in the community work that he engaged with. He made nine return trips to India to work with church leaders after initially departing in 1974. Upon returning to Canada, Harvey pastored the Stayner BIC Church (1974-1976) and then was President of Niagara Christian Collegiate (1976-1978). He was the Bishop of the Canadian Conference of the BIC church for 12 years (1978-1990) before departing for Pennsylvania to serve as the Moderator of the BIC denomination in North America (1990-1998). The General Conference Board of the BIC church conferred upon him the honorary title of Moderator Emeritus in 2008. During his time in ministry, Harvey served on many regional and national denominational boards as well as on boards at Niagara Christian Collegiate and Messiah College. He helped plan major international conferences (e.g., Mennonite World Conference) and worked across denominational lines to foster ecumenical work. Upon retirement, first in Fort Erie and then in Stouffville, Harvey volunteered in a variety of roles including as pastor to seniors at Heise Hill BIC Church. He was a prolific speaker and writer, contributing 20 articles and book chapters as well as writing four books. Harvey is survived by his wife Erma, daughter Cheryl (Steve) Giles, son Steve (Karen) Sider, six grandchildren, Andrew (Stacey) Giles, Dan (Kat) Giles, Hannah Giles, Emily (Nathan) Lambert, Karley Sider, CJ Sider, and one great-grandson, Solomon Harvey Giles. | Sider, Harvey Ray (I1103332)

| 5220 | Henry Hoover Jr. was the son of David Hoover and the grandson of Henry Hoover Sr. who was a weaver. At the time of his death in 1811, Henry Sr. was a resident of Rainham. He owned Lot 18, Concession 1, about 240 acres, which he purchasedt in 1807. Henry Sr. left this land to his two sons, David and John. His son John and wife Rachael sold their share of the farm in 1827. At that time they were living in the Township of Louth, County of Lincoln. Henry Jr. inherited his father David's share. His mother was previously married to a Rhora before she married David. In 1827 Henry Jr. purchased the south part of Lot 19, Concession 2, Rainham. In 1831 he sold part of his lot to his brother David and in 1833 the rest to Henry Zimmerman excluding a small area to be used for a union burial ground, Sweets Corners Union Cemetery. In 1833 Henry purchased the south part of Lot 16, Concession 2. He lived here with his wife Anna (Hannah) and his small daughter Elizabeth born in 1836 just one year before Henry's death. He was the first recorded burial in the parcel of land he gave. Henry left half his farm to Elizabeth and half to Anna for life thence to Elizabeth. His will hints at the difficulties his young widow would face. He instructed that his executors in order for Anna to have the land cleared, the barn finished and the child raised, were to sell the north half of Lot 18, Concession 1, Rainham, being the property of his late father, David. Further bequests were made to his brother John's baby, should it be born alive, to his brother David and his half brother Christian Rhora. Henry's daughter Elizabeth married Nicholas Moerschfelder, the son of Christian and Magdalena Weaver Moerschfelder. Elizabeth and Nicholas had ten children, six girls and four boys. Henry's widow Anna later married Patrick Maxwell and they continued to live in the area. | Hoover, Henry (I00462)

| 5225 | Herald of Truth, April 1898: HOOVER.-On the 23rd of January 1898, in Rainham Twp., Haldimand Co., Ont. after suffering one week from the effects of a fall, Elizabeth Hoover, wife of the late Jacob Hoover, aged 81 years, 11 months and 4 days. The remains were laid to rest in the Mennonite burying ground by the side of her husband who preceded her to the spirit world twenty-five years. She is survived by three sons and eight daughters all having been present at the funeral but one daughter. Services by Noah Stauffer and Isaac Rittenhouse. Dearest mother, thou hast left us, Here thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, Peaceful in the grave so low; Thou no more wilt join our number, Thou no more our songs shalt know. Farewell mother, dearest parent, Ever faithful, kind and true; Trusting thou hast won a crown, In the home prepared for you. A DAUGHTER . | Brick, Elizabetha (I00108)

| 5226 | Herald of Truth, Vol. XXIII, Number 13, July 1, 1886, page 205 HOOVER. - On the 4th of June, in the house of her son-in-law, Joseph Weaver, in Elkhart Co., Ind., of crysipclas and blood poisoning, Charlotte Hoover, maiden name Swartz, aged 69 years and 29 days. Funeral services were held in the Clinton Mennonite Meeting-house, by J. S. Coffman and Peter Lehman. Sister Hoover was born and brought up in Haldimand Co., Ont. In 1834 she was married to Isaac Hoover. In 1854 they moved to Elkhart Co., Ind., and in 1855 her husband died. Several years later she moved back to Canada, where she lived until her children were all married. After that she spent her time among her children, in Canada, Indiana and Michigan. She was a widow 31 years. She was the mother of two sons and four daughters, all living. At her death she had 52 grandchildren - 42 living and 18 great grand children - 16 living. She united with the church in her early years and as she grew older continued to grow more faithful and devoted, and more earnest in admonishing her children and grand children to live for Christ. In her last days she often desired reading the Scriptures, singing and prayer. Not in the radiant morn or noon of life, But in the twilight passed her soul away. The warring elements had ceased their strife, And peaceful was the closing of her day. Strong in the faith that Jesus saves the soul Who trusts in His almighty grace and power, She calmly waited for the heavenly call, Nor feared the coming of the solemn hour. Far in the past her pilgrimage had been Through many a sorrowing and rejoicing day, Through many a trial endured, and danger seen, But God had led her all the lengthened way. And now, when the last, awful hour drew near, And death had come with all his dread alarms, The presence of the Lord prevented fear; Beneath her were the everlasting arms.

| 5229 | Hi Anita, I don't know if you have a copy of the book "Marshall's Bay to 1991" but in it on Aunt Clara's page she says "I Clara Bingleman came from Walsh (Southern Ontario) to the Mabee cottage in August 1918 to visit my Aunt and Uncle, Eula and George Mabee who were owners in Marshall's Bay from August 1911 to February 1947..." Also below is the list of children for Permelia Crandall Elliott Mabee, she was Lydia Jane Stuart's mother and George Elliott Mabee's mother, thus George Mabee was Clara Bingleman's uncle. Horace Charles Mabee and Margaret Gibbon were George Gibbon Mabee's parents, thus the George that you would have known was Aunt Clara's cousin as was George and Eula's daughter Murial Nairn. Also I have a picture of Lydia Jane Stuart Bingleman with her children Charles and Laura and her sister Eliza Stuart Shaw taken about 1884. It was sent to me by Travis Thompson, a descendant of Eliza in the States, and it matches a picture of Charles and Laura taken at the same time that Knisley and Audrey had, the clothing is the same. | Stuart, Henry S.

| 5233 | HOOVER -- John Newton Hoover, the oldest son of George and Hettie Hoover, was born near Harrisonburg, Va., Feb. 23, 1874, departed this life July 19, 1924, at the age of 50 years, 4 months and 26 days. He came to the state of Ohio with his parents at the age of two years. On December 22, 1895, he was united in marriage to Mary A. Hershey. To this union were born eight children, four sons and four daughters. Five of them preceded him in death in their infancy. And their son Russel passed on to the great beyond February 27, 1919, at the age of twenty-one years. Also his dear mother preceded him to the spirit world, November 18, 1923, only a little more than eight months ago. Those who survive him and who are so deeply mourning his departure, are a dear wife, who stood so faithfully by him through their journey in life, especially in the last days of his illness; one son Marvin, and little daughter Ruth. Also he leaves an aged father, one brother Elmer, and three sisters, Mrs. Docia Wenger, Anna and Edna Hoover; a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ethel Hoover, and one little granddaughter Mary Elizabeth. He was a very affectionate and devoted husband and father. He took pleasure in making his home comfortable and one of his greatest delights was in doing things to please his loved wife and children. Bro. Hoover was converted at the age of seventeen years, and shortly after united with the Brethren in Christ. He ever manifested a spirit of devotion and loyalty to the church of his choice. He was ordained to the ministry May 31, 1903, and as a Bishop March 5, 1905. He also served the Church in various other official capacities and rendered acceptable and commendable service. He never spared himself, and in his labors overtaxed his physical strength, which culminated in a nervous breakdown from which he never fully recovered. Upon improvement he again ssumed his labors and suffered a relapse, which resulted in a complete breakdown, both physical and mental, which was a contributing cause to his lamentable death in the State Hospital at Dayton, Ohio. Bro. Hoover was engaged in public school teaching during eighteen years. He was a successful teacher and made many lasting friends among his pupils. Funeral services were held July 22, at the Highland church, a large assembly present manifesting their sympathy toward the bereaved family. The following brethren took part in the services: O. B. Ulery, W. H. Boyer, M. L. Dohner, Walter Reichard. Interment in adjoining cemetery. Evangelical Visitor, 4 August 1924 | Hoover, John Newton (I24564)

| 5238 | Immigrated in 1778, Philadelphia; Oath of Alegiance, Apr 1778 in Lancaster, PA. Christian Keller's letter to his daughter Magdalena and Abraham Hoover, filed with Jacob Hoover's Will here translated from German Script to English. On the back of this letter was written "John Hoover's Bond due to Jacob Hoover", which makes us believe Abraham Hoover's father in law Christian Keller purchased the deceased son John Hoover's Bond and thus received Lot 24, Concession 3, Walpole which would otherwise have gone to John. Christian Keller's son John sold this lot in 1835 and it appears it was his inheritance as he isn't mentioned in his mother's 1826 Indenture: Manchester Township 21 November 1815 Most honoured daughterman and daughter, We did not want to let this opportunity pass without sending you a letter with Michael Gravill. We will let you know that now we are all healthy as long as God will grant it and also our relatives and friends. Our son John lost his two younger children - the older one a little boy the youngest a little girl - they died within four or five weeks in hospital. Now he has only one son. Our daughterman Benjamin Keller (Kaller) with wife and two children moved to his father October 13th. His journey got delayed because of an outbreak of Dysentery which had befallen his oldest child. This illness cost the lives of many children and some adults; amongst the latter also Georg Lichtenberger's daughter Peggy and Breitenbach's daughter ? who was married to ?. Otherwise there is nothing new to tell you. Heartfelt greetings from us and all our friends and relatives here and all our friends and relatives there.

| 5247 | Jacob Engel (1753-1854), was the most important leader of the River Brethren in the time of their emergence. Engle was born in Switzerland as the fourth son of Ulrich Engel and Anna née Brächbühl. As an infant he emigrated with his family from the Corgémont to Pennsylvania to flee religious persecution. They sailed from Rotterdam and arrived in Philadelphia on October 1, 1754. They established a homestead in northwest Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In the 1770s, a religious awakening swept through the settlements of Mennonites of Swiss and South German origin along the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, PA, that resulted in the forming of the River Brethren. Jacob Engle, assisted by his brother John, became the leader of the emerging River Brethren. In 1776 the River Brethren group was organized and Jacob was made the first bishop. In the mid 1800s several groups split from the River Brethren and the largest group took the name Brethren in Christ.[1] | Engel, Jacob (Jagli) (I25299)
