A Prayer For Genealogists
************************************************************************
Lord help me dig into the past
And sift the sands of time
That I might find the roots that made
This family tree of mine
Lord, help me trace the ancient roads
On which my fathers trod,
And led them through so many lands
To find our present sod.
Lord, help me find an ancient book
or dusty manuscript,
That's safely hidden now away
in some forgotten crypt.
Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts
my soul when I can't find,
The missing link between some name
that ends the same as mine.

Palatine Emigrants
Bleak and cold was the winter of 1708-1709 on the Rhineland. War and
high taxes seemed to be on Swiss mind. Religious persecution threath-
ened the Anabaptist, and the poor pauper was being force to leave his
country. While thoughts of America danced in their head like
sugar plums, enticing and inviting them with adventure and intrigue
to
sail to America( at that time they thought it to be the West Indies).
The Anabaptist had been forced out of their homeland before. Fear of
not returning did not keep them from sleep at night. It was the same
adventure and intrigue, the not knowing what it would be like not to
be persecuted against. They wanted that for their children to be free
in their beliefs. Going to America offered them freedom.
The voyage to America was hard and long in conditions nearly unbearable.
It was the dream of a better way of life that our Swiss forefather
held
on to. Throughout the perilous journey. The first parties were afloat
going down the Rhine April 1709 (it is very possible Jacob Stauffer
was in that first party) for the 4 to 6 weeks journey to Rotterdam.
Then
the long wait to cross over to England.
I think that you can better see the plight of the Palatine Emigrants
in
the next article by Kraig Ruckel. He had better described what brought
our forefathers in search of a new far off land.
************************************************************************
Palatine Emigrants
by Kraig Ruckel
Do you have a Palatine fact to share?
The winter of 1708-1709 was very long and cold in the Rhineland. It
was a very bleak period. People huddled around their fires as they
considered quitting their homes and farms forever. By early April,
the land was still frozen and most of the Palatines' vines had been
killed by the bitter weather. Since 1702 their country had been
enduring war and there was little hope for the future. The Thirty
Years War lay heavy on their minds, a period in which one out of
every three Germans had perished.
The Palatines were heavily taxed and endured religious persecution.
As the people considered their future, the older ones remembered that,
in 1677, William Penn had visited the area, encouraging the people
to
go to Pennsylvania in America, a place where a man and his family
could be free of the problems they were now encountering.
To go to America meant a long, dreadful ocean voyage and a future in
an unknown land, away from their past and family. Everyone knew that
the German Elector would stop any migration as soon as it was noticed.
Only a mass exodus from the Palatinate could be successful. Many
wondered how they could ever finance such a journey even if they wanted
to attempt it. Small boats, known as scows, would have to be acquired
for the long ride down the Rhine River and then there was the price
for
the ocean voyage. While some of the people had relatives that could
assist them financially, many were very poor. Soon enough, their minds
were made up for them as France's King Louis XIV invaded their land,
ravaging especially the towns in the Lower Palatinate.
In masses, the Palatines boarded their small boats and headed down
the Rhine for Rotterdam. It was April 1709 and the first parties
were afloat on the Rhine, many with only their most basic goods and
their faith in God as their only possessions. The river voyage took
an average of 4-6 weeks through extremely cold, bitter weather. By
June, 1709, the people streamed into Rotterdam at a rate of one
thousand per week. The Elector, as expected, issued an edict forbidd-
ing the migration, but almost everyone ignored it. By October, 1709,
more than 10,000 Palatines had completed the Rhine River journey.
The Duke of Marlborough was assigned by Queen Anne to transport the
immigrants to England. British troop ships were also used. The Queen
assumed these Protestants would help fuel the anti-Roman feelings
developing in England. The ships from Rotterdam landed, in part, at
Deptford and the refugees were sent to one of three camps at Deptford,
Camberwell, and Blackheath outside the city wall of London. Many
Londoner's welcomed the Palatines, but the poor were not, as they felt
their English food was being taken from them to feed the Germans.
British newspapers published mixed accounts of the Palatines, some
praising them while others cursed them.
Over 3,000 of these Palatines were sent to Ireland, again to
reinforce the Protestant faith in that land. The trip from england
to
Ireland was short, taking only about 24 hours. Included among these
immigrants were a line of my possible ancestors, Sebastian ROCKEL
(later called RUCKEL, RUCKLE, and RUTTLE)and his wife and children.
They settled on Lord Southwell's estate near Ballingrane in County
Limerick, Ireland. Several branches remained in Ireland, becoming
known as the RUTTLE's. Other branches came to New York in the
mid-1700's.
Meanwhile, streams of Palatines went to America, with most going to
Pennsylvania. The ocean voyage was harsh, with over-crowded,
under-supplied, and unsanitary ships. What provisions were supplied
were generally the least expensive available to the ship's master.
Water frequently ran out, as did food. Dreadful mortality occurred
on many voyages. In addition to those woes, the Palatines faced
robbery, deception, and worse from those transporting them.
Estimates on the number of Germans in Pennsylvania during this period
varies from author to author, but a common estimate is 10,000-15,000
by 1727 and 70,000-80,000 by 1750. A good source for reviewing German
arrivals to Pennsylvania is Rupp's "Thirty Thousand Immigrants in
Pennsylvania" which contains numerous ship passenger lists and has
an
excellent surname index. Another good resource is Walter Knittle's
"Early Eighteenth-Century Palatine Emigration".
Immigrants not only came from Germany, but also Bohemia and Switzer-
land. Most were either Lutheran, Reformed, or Mennonite in religious
belief.
~~~~~~~~~~
The State of Poor Palatines As Humbly Represented by Themselves Upon
Their First Arrival In This Kingdom, About June 1709 (from London,
England)
We the poor distressed Palatines, whose utter Ruin was occasioned by
the
merciless Crutlty of the Blood Enemy, the French, whose prevailing
Power some years past, like a Torrent rushed into our Country, and
overwhelmed us at once; and being not content with Money and Food
necessary for their Occasions, not only dispossess us of all Support
but
inhumanely burnt our House to the ground, where being deprived of all
Shelter, we were turned into open fields, and there drove with our
Families, to seek what Shelter we could find, being obliged to make
the
cold Earth our Lodgings, and the Clouds our Covering. In this deplorable
condition we made our Humble Supplications and Cries to Almighty God,
who has promised to relieve them that put their Trust in him, who
Goodness we have largely Experienced, in disposing the Hearts of Pious
Princes to a Christian Compassion and Charity towards us in the
miserable condition, who by their Royal Bounties and large Donations,
and the exemplary Kindness of well-disposed Nobility, Gentry, and
Others, We and our poor Children have been preserved from Perishing;
specially since our Arrival into this happy Kingdom of GREAT BRITAIN.
.
While not only like the Land of Canaan abounds with all things necessary
for human Life, but also with a Religious People, who as freely give
to
the Distressed for Christ's Sake, as it was given to them by the
Almighty Donor of all they enjoy. Blessed Land and Happy People!
Governed by the Nursing Mother of Europe, and the Best of Queens Whose
unbounded Mercy and Charity has received us despicable Strangers from
afar off into Her own Dominions, where we have found a Supply of all
things Necessary for our present Subsistence; for which we bless and
praise Almighty God, the Queen's most Excellent Majesty and all Her
good
subjects, from the Highest Degree to those of the meanest Capacity;
and
do sincerely and faithfully promise to all our utmost Power, for the
future, to render ourselves Thankful to God, and Serviceable to Her
Majesty, and all her Good Subjects, in what whay soever her goodness
is
pleased to dispose of Us: and in the mean time be constant in our
Prayers, that God would return the Charity of well disposed People
a
thousand fold into their own Bosoms, which is all the Requital that
can
present be made by us poor distressed Protestants.
THE PALATINES
Whitter's Ship "Palatine"
(From his "Tent on the Beach")
And
old men mending their nets of twine,
Talk together of dream and sign,
Talk of the lost shop Palatine.
*****
"The ship that a hundred years before,
Freighted deep with its goodly store,
In the gales of the equinox went ashore".
*****
"Into the teeth of death she sped:
(May God forgive the hands that fed
The false lights over the rocky head!)".
*****
"And then, with ghastly shimmer and shine
Over the rocks and the seething brine,
They burned the wreck of the Palatine".
*****
"And still on many a moonless night,
>From Kingston head and the Montauk light,
The spectre kindles and burns in sight".
*****
"And the wise
Sound skipper, through skies be fine,
Reef their sails when they see the sign
Of the blazing wreck of the Palatine."

As early as Jun 1728 the first grants of land were made. Jacob Stover
obtained on the Shenandoah River two tracts of land 5000
acres each
on June 17, 1730. Muller and his friends bought up one 5000a tract
(Massanutten Tract) for 400 pounds.
Jacob Stover (Swiss) was a Swiss promoter instrumental in bringing
many
Germans into the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
************************************************************************
Switzerland 1709
A Jacob Stauffer was
in Rotterdam awaiting a ship to cross him
over to England. Departure List on Jul 15, 1709 Jacob Stover time had
come for him to get on the Ship.
"Jacob Stauber and Wife and one child"
also
" Joost Heyt and Wife and one child"
(Joost Heyt was a Native
of Strasburg in Alsace).
From July until the Fall both Stauber and Heyt shared the same exper-
iences as Palatines. For 6 months
the emigrants stayed in
"Blackheath Camp" and subsisted on handouts. Toward the end of 1709
they were loaded on a vessel which did not sail until April the follow-
ing year (April 1710). They were to produce tar in the Colony of New
York. The tar project never begun. In the fall of 1710 they were plac-
ed on a large stretch of land along the Hudson River. By 1712 the
Germans were released to their own fate in an unfamiliar and unforgiv-
ing land. Jacob Stauber left New
York for Pennsylvania. Their he
patented 510a on Oley Creek in Berks Co. PA in 8 Feb 1713.
Germantown merchant J. S. Sprogell had know Jacob Stover for almost
20 years wrote for Jacob a letter of recommendation.
" Jacob Stover made Settlement in the remotest parts among
Indians,
whereby he has acquired the Reputation among all the Knew him of one
of
the best skilled in Husbandry, and acquired by this particular Industry
very handsome means."
A friend Ezekiel Harlan was a Indian interpreter. John Rudolf Ochs was
a
Swiss Promoter. Ochs came to America from Berne, Switzerland in 1705.
He
left America after a number of years, settled in London, became a
Quaker, and maintained close touch with Pennsylvanian and Swiss sectart-
ians. Ochs with Stover and Harlan planned a number of large scale
emigration schemes. Stovers area was the entire Western Region extend-
ing from Pa to NC. Jacob truly loved the Shenandoah Valley.
In 1728 or 1729 Jacob spent three month exploring the Valley and select-
ing choice locations to be included in his request for a Virginia Grant.
Ochs with Stover and Harlan planned a number of large scale emigration
schemes.
Stovers area was the entire Western Region extending from Pa to NC.
Jacob truly loved the Shenandoah Valley. Stover and Harlan joined
Ochs
in London to put their plan into motion.
Feb 1731 Stover, Harlan and Ochs petitioned the Board of Trade for
a
grant containing all the territory along 200 miles from N. to S. behind
the first mountain range the Mississippi to be its Western limits.
The
Board's first reaction was a request for more information and for a
map.
Providing both Stover and Associates
lost no time renewing their
petiton. The vast new colony was to be filled with German and
Swiss
immigrants who Ochs volunteered to secure. To be christened "Georgia"
to the sovereign's pleasure, and to be administered by not other than
Spotswood, it was cleverly described as a potential buffer between
the
seaboard provinces and the French dominions. The Board and the Lords
Commissioners for Trade and Plantations found the plan appealing enough
to devote serious and prolonged discussion to it. When the Lords Fairfax
and Baltimore and the heirs of Penn's proprietorship voiced grave ob-
jections, the Board hesitated to submit the project to the Crown. De-
spite considerable support and the express recommendation of Stover
as
the "fittest and properest Person" to undertake the settlement beyond
the "Blew Hills in Virginia" the petitioners did not prevail against
the proprietors' protest.
Sometime in the middle of Oct 1732 Stover returned to America empty
handed and disillusioned. . Jacob Stover had invested and lost
two
years of his life and all his cash in the venture. When he joined his
family in Virginia more bad news awaited him.

-Jacob Stover Sr.-
Jacob was b 1685 in Switzerland. Jacob Stover arrived sometime
in
America bef 8 Feb 1713 when he purchased a patent for 510a Oley,
Berks
Co. Pa, The land is located next to Edward Evans. He married
on 15 Mar
1715 at Christ Church in Philadelphia Co. PA to Sarah Boone b
18 Feb
1691 Bradninen, Devonshire, England. She is the daughter of George
Boone III and Mary Margrave and is the Aunt of Daniel Boone the
frontiersman. In 1723, he sold 72 acres of his land in Oley to
John
Leinbach, of Germantown. The deed records his name as Jacob Stauber.
Jacob could not write as he made a mark for his signature. About
the
year 1730, Jacob received a grant of 10,000 acres in Virginia.
In the
grant he was referred to as a Switzer. He was to settle at his
own ex-
pense a certain number of people on his land or he would forfeit
it. He
apparently made sever trips to Europe to persuade people to settle
the
land. He d 17 Mar 1742 (buried in Old Augusta Stone Church Cem,
Ft.
Defiance. Va). He had a second wife named Margaret. Jacob
was probably
not a Mennonite.
Affirmed Children of Jacob Stover and Sarah Boone were:
Jacob Stover Jr. b abt 1716, Oley, Berks Co.,
PA. He administered
his fathers estate in 1741. In 1754 he was living at Lunenburg
Co., Va
when he sold the last of his fathers land in Augusta Co. He married
Ruth ______.
Elizabeth Stover b abt 1718 Oley, Berks Co. PA.
She married William
O'Neil of Augusta Co according to court records there.
Abraham Stover b abt 1723, Oley, Berks Co. PA He
was living on 200
acres of his father land on Cub Creek in 1748. He may be the
Abraham
Stover who was living in Franklin Co. Virginia
in 1790. According
to Orange Co. Virginia records, Abraham was a Minor in
1741.

************************************************************************
Dr John Joseph Stoudt, a noted historian states "Jacob
Stover arrived
from Switzerland to New York State as a member of the Kocherthal Coloney
of Ulster County, N. Y. in 1710. Dr. Stoudt says, "A document,
vellum,
written in pen, is still in the possession of the Stoudt Family, which
shows that Jacob came to Berks County, PA and to the Oley area in the
year 1711" this being one year after Jacob arrived in New York. The
document is a legal record of land sales transaction in which Jacob
sold
property to Matthias Bowman. Both signatures (Jacob and Sarah Boone)
are
on the document. The land in question was part of the 510 acres that
Jacob had patented during the years of 1713-14. The actual confirmation
date was 9 Jun 1714. Jacob's land was located east of the Schuykill
River in Oley Valley, which is some 10-12 miles southeast of Reading,
PA
of today.
************************************************************************
A Quote from the Department of Internal Affairs of the Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania Bulletin, dated Apr 1954. The secretary of the Internal
Affairs Department of 1954 was Mr. William Livengood he says, "It is
somehow amazing to know that such a little area of Penn's Woods as
Oley,
Berks County, produced so much for the future of our nation. This place
and it can hardly be called that, for the Oley of Colonial times had
no
defined boundaries, was not only the birth place of Daniel Boone, but
was also the home of some of the forebears of both Abraham Lincoln
and
President Dwight D. Eishenhower. What is even more amazing is the fact
that the Boones, the Lincolns and Jacob Stauber, the Ancestor of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's mother ( Ida Elizabeth Stover), were all neighbors
of
each other and, in various ways, related. An Abraham Lincoln married
in-
to the Boone family, while Staubers Wife, Sarah Boone was the Aunt
of
Daniel Boone." Mr Livengood pointed out the fact that many of those
ear-
ly pioneers, for various reasons, were quite impoverished and had to
work diligently at hard labor in order
just to survive. He says,
" Nevertheless, it would be a mistake to assume that these people were
ignorant. Nothing of the sort. Many of them were well educated or highly
skilled mechanics for their day." Livengood says, "John Lienbach,
who
purchased part of Jacob Stauber's Oley farm in 1723, was an organist
and
a teacher in Germany before he came to America. The Boones were
old
settlers in Berks County, among the first white persons to found
a
home in that area with it was the frontier
of Pennsylvania. Sarah
Boone went into the wilderness with her husband Jacob Stauber, a Swiss
pioneer from Zurich Switzerland, and a direct ancestor of Ida
Elizabeth
Stover the mother of Dwight David Eisenhower".

Imperial dynasty of Germany in the 12th/13th Centuries became dukes
of
Swabia in 1079 and Franconia in 1115, and rulers of Germany in 1138.
The premature death of Henry VI in 1197, just after he had added the
kingdom of SICILY to his possessions, led to temporary eclipse for
the
family, and the last effective Hohenstaufen, Emperor Frederick II,
concentrated his efforts on building
up a great Mediterranean
power based in Italy, which involved him in a ruinous struggle with
the
PAPACY and the loss of real control in Germany. After his death in
1250,
the dynasty was soon extinguished, its last ruling member, Manfred
of
Sicily, being killed in battle in 1266. (4, 39a-b, 62b) pg 66
