21 Voici ce que m’écrit Jean-Claude Lauer sur l’origine du nom: «Au Val Saint Grégoire, ou Val de Munster, et à Colmar, le patronyme s’écrit plutôt Widenmann, c’est à dire, au sens propre, «l’homme de l’osier», que l’on peut apparenter au vigneron, qui attachait ses vignes avec des tiges d’osier; cependant, le vrai patronyme serait plutôt Weidmann, c’est à dire le chasseur ou le pêcheur» |

30 Voici ce qui est dit, dans la Mennonite Encyclopedia, à propos de la famille Kauffmann, alliée des RUSHTY: «A prolific Mennonite and Amish family, Kauffman apparently originated in Steffisburg, canton of Bern, Switzerland. One of the early Mennonite settlers in Lancaster Co., PA, was Andrew Kauffman, who came in 1717 from Friesenheim, Palatinate, having earlier arrived in the Friesenheim from Steffisberg. Lists from the Palatinate Mennonite census of the late 17th and early 18th century contain a number of Kauffman families. As late as 1936 there were as many as 44 Kaufmanns in nine congregations in South Germany. Another line of Swiss Kauffmanns emigrated to Alsace and Montbéliard at about the same time. In 1954 there were 20 Kauffmann families in seven congregations in France, including a preacher at Belfort. Around 1800 several of Amish Kauffmann families joined the migration to Galicia and Volhynia (Michelsdorf, Eduardsdorf, Horodisch) and later immigrated to Moundridge, Kansas, and Freeman, South Dakota. P.R. Kaufman's Unser Folk und seine Geschichte (1931) tells the story of this group. From this group stem General Conference Mennonite Church figures like Ed. G. Kaufman (b. 1891), president of Bethel College (1932-52), R.C. Kauffman (b. 1910), dean of the same college (1949-56), and Charles Kauffman, curator of the Kauffman Museum. The direct immigration of Kauffmans from the Palatinate to America began with Isaac and Andrew Kauffman, who settled in Lancaster Co., PA in 1717. From this line came the leading Mennonite Church (MC) figure David D. Kauffman (1827-96), who was the first Mennonite bishop in Missouri (Versailles). His son Daniel Kauffman (1865-1944), a long-time bishop and editor of the Gospel Herald, lived most of his active life at Scottdale PA. A branch of this Lancaster County line also located in Page County, western Virginia, where Michael Kauffman was the first Mennonite minister. Here the name was changed to Coffman. Bishop Samuel Coffman (1822-94), his son J. S. Coffman (1848-99), the noted evangelist of Elkhart, IN, and the latter's son Bishop SF Coffman (1872-1954) of Vineland, ON, were also notable bearers of this name. The progenitor of the Amish Kauffmans, Jacob Kauffman, came to Berks Co., PA in 1754 from the Palatinate. Many Kauffmans are still found among the Old Order Amish, chiefly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois. Those families who have joined the Mennonite group have produced a number of outstanding leaders in the Mennonite Church (MC), among them are Milo Kauffman (b. 1895) president of Hesston College (1933-50) and bishop, Nelson Kauffman (b. 1904), bishop at Hannibal Mo., and president of the Mennonite Board of Education; J. N. Kaufman (b. 1880), a long-time missionary in India and bishop near Peoria, IL. In 1955 there were 25 ordained men in the Mennonite (MC) Church of the family name Kauffman. Sister Frieda Kaufman (1883-1944) was a prominent leader in deaconess work in the General Conference Mennonite Church.» |

For which reason they humbly pray, that the said sentence may be reviewed, reheard, and not put in execution; but that the proceedings for the causes aforesaid may be declared invalid, null and void, and that the goods, wares, and merchandise afore said be restored to their owners. And they, as in duty bound pray. Nicholas Tainy Benedict Youghly Bastian Graffts George Graffts. |

35 A Passenger on the Princes Augusta An account by Durs Thommen From June to September 1736 Philadelphia, October 20, 1736 My friendly greetings and service to you, my much beloved Reverent Mr. Candidate Annoni and your beloved wife Ester Annoni, born in Zwingerin. I cannot desist from writing to you and to tell you in a few words that I with my family - the loving faithful Father in Heaven be praised for that - have come into this land fresh and healthy. But at sea our two younger sons became sick with ship fever but, thank God, have regained their previous health. But I now know nothing further to write because we have come so late into this country and everything has already been harvested. As to the journey, we were detained for 5 weeks, have slept on the Rhine for 2 weeks and travelled from Rotterdam across the sea for 12 weeks and 4 days until Philaddelphia, but only 8 weeks from land to land, and we did not have good wind save for 8 days, more contrary winds than side wind. And as we saw land a new pilot came to us and we thought all was well and won. All evening we got good wind from behind so that the ship moved vigorously. The new pilot, however made cast anchor because it was not far (from there) dangerous; in the morning when the anchor was lifted again and on had barely gone 30 feet the boat ran into a rock, and it crashed that one thought it would break in the middle. The anxious crying began, and one could see where there was faith or not. Then the captain had a warning shot fired and had a flag of distress hoisted, but we drove far out to the sea so that we saw no land anymore for days and even thought we would never see it again. As far as illness are comcerned, the Mannheim skippers had two of the boats sidewise together; in the one besides ours 7 children died of small pox and a woman of spotted fever, and in our boat 19 people died until Rotterdam. Those people who have means and are interested in this land and need not go into debt, those I advise to stay where they are because the journy is onerous and very dangeous. Thus who wants to come to this land shall be well provided with butter and bacon, dried apple snips and plums, and flour, wine and brandy and dried bread, tea and sugar. And if young people come and cannot pay fare, there are enough people to redeem them from the boat, and they must serve them a certaint time for it. There are people with whom I have talked myself who had brought not a penny into the land and had to serve for their fare, now (they) are very rich people. But I do not know to write much of the land because we came into it quite late and everything had already been harvested, and one should not rely much on the talk of other people, thus I am willing, if it were to please the Lord in Heaven, to send very accurate news in the future when I have investigated things myself. But I have not yet taken up the land, but I am also willing to wait until I know the land better or have approached trusted friends so that I may believe them. I could have already taken up, however, more than to 3 to 400 acres that have been much planted, and there would remain in my hands quite a good portion of my imported wealth. What has already been cleared of that place, meadow and fields, is for 6 horses, 8 cows, 12 goats, 14 pigs. We are very sorry that at home we have not lived according to Christ's demand on occasion as we should have done.

37 Legend of 18th-century ship still haunts Block Island
By Elizabeth Zuckerman, Associated Press | December 20, 2004 CRANSTON, R.I. -- Rhode Island legend tells of a spectral ship that haunts the waters off Block Island, bursting into flame and sinking into the ocean. Depending on the version of the story, the ship augurs bad weather, and may also appear on the Saturday between Christmas and New Year's. The tales hold that the ship is the ghost of one that wrecked on the island's northern point shortly after Christmas 1738. And while there's good evidence that a British ship, the Princess Augusta, carrying a load of passengers from territory that would become Germany, ran aground on the island on Dec. 27, 1738, there's accord on little else about the incident. A deposition taken from the ship's crew shortly after the incident -- and republished in 1939 -- tells of a voyage in which provisions were scarce, half the crew had died, and others were hobbled by the extreme cold. In the document, crew members said a heavy snowstorm drove the ship aground. They testified that Captain Andrew Brook encouraged those on the ship to save what they could of it and its cargo ''both before and after She broke to Pieces. . . ." According to folklorist Michael Bell, of Cranston, within the century after the incident, two versions of the story became popular. The on-island version told of the residents' generosity rescuing and nursing back to health the ill and starving passengers, who had been abused and exploited by the captain or the crew. The other version was immortalized by the 19th-century poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier, who was born near Haverhill, Mass. Whittier's ''The Palatine" appeared in The Atlantic Monthly in 1867. In it, Block Islanders recall the wreck -- and some islanders' roles in causing it by igniting false signal lights to draw the ship aground. Then, according to the poet, they plundered the ship ''like birds of prey/Tearing the heart of the ship away,/And the dead never had a word to say/And then, with a ghastly shimmer and shine/Over the rocks and the seething brine,/They burned the wreck of the Palatine." A year after the wreck, in another storm, the Palatine -- apparently called by that name because it carried immigrants from the Palatinate -- reappeared in flames. In the poet's account, a century after the wreck and plundering, the islanders are still haunted by a blazing ghost ship which appears on some moonless nights. It's not a flattering portrait, and it clearly rankled islanders of the poet's day. In his 1877 history of the island, Samuel Livermore tried to refute Whittier's version of the Palatine disaster. ''Poetic fiction has given the public a very wrong view of this occurrence, and thus a wrong impression of the Islanders has been obtained," Livermore wrote He included an 1876 letter from Whittier in which the poet responded to islanders' criticisms. According to Livermore's book, Whittier said he ''did not intend to misrepresent the facts of history," but wrote the poem after hearing the story from a Rhode Islander. Whittier acknowledge that it was quite possible his source ''followed the current tradition on the main-land." Livermore instead presented an account by a scholar of his day. According to it, the ship came ashore on Sandy Point, and once the tide rose, was able to be floated again, and towed into Breach Cove by the islanders. All the passengers came ashore, except one who refused to leave the ship. Many, however, were ill, died and were buried on the island's southwest side. Today, a marker, installed in 20th century, stands at the site. It reads simply, ''Palatine Graves -- 1738." It's the only major physical evidence of the disaster. Charlotte Taylor of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission said no wreckage has ever been found that could be positively linked to the ship. Martha Ball, the former first warden of Block Island and a lifelong resident, said there's some evidence the ship was repaired and continued on to Philadelphia, its original destination. Livermore blames the story of the ship's burning and other atrocities on ''the testimony of a witch, an opium-eater, and a maniac" and concludes ''Dutch Kattern [a passenger who stayed on the island after the wreck and was known as a witch] had her revenge on the ship that put her ashore by imagining it on fire, and telling others, probably, that the light on the sound was the wicked ship Palatine, cursed for leaving her on Block Island." While Livermore dismissed the story of the islanders' barbarity, he was less willing to write off accounts of the so-called Palatine Light. He noted that an unexplained light was often sighted off Sandy Point by people both on Block Island and on the mainland, and included in his book an 1811 account from a doctor -- whom he called a man of standing -- who had witnessed a light that resembled a ship ablaze. More than a century after that account, talk about the Palatine Light remained. ''When I was growing up, they used to say of the Palatine Lights that no two people saw it at the same time. And everyone had a story about the Palatine Lights," Ball said. Ball, who admits she doesn't have much patience for ghost stories, said an uncle who died before she was born was the only one in her family who claimed to have seen the lights. She noted with a laugh that he was the same one who also claimed to have felled six ducks with a single shot. She believes the legend has hung on as long as it has mostly due to Whittier's work. © Copyright 2004 Globe Newspaper Company |
38 sur ce site: The Ghost Ships Block Island, RI Since its settlement by Europeans in 1661, Block Island has been a community founded on boats: fishing, shipping, or just simply messing about it boats. The North Atlantic has always been treacherous for fishing boat and wooden sailing ships, making Block Island a perfect place to sight a ghost ship … or two. The 18th century ship, Princess Augusta sank off the Block Island coast. Since then, people have seen apparitions of a burning ship and eerie lights originating from the waters where the ship rests below. In the winter of 1751, the Palatine began a voyage to the American colonies but was soon blown off course by storms. For some reason the crew murdered their captain, stole the money and possessions of passengers and abandoned ship! Locals came out to help the passengers off as well as set fire to the ship so it wouldn’t endanger other ships. As the ship burned, a woman’s screams were heard. Someone had remained on board! Ever since then, the Palatine has been sighted burning off the island. Sources: “Legend of 18th-century ship still haunts Block Island”, wintersteel.com, 2002 |

42 Sans qu’on sache selon quelles modalités exactes. Cependant, c’est sur le site de Faye Moran Jarvis, généralement très bien renseignée sur les Moraves, que je lis que CHRISTMANN faisait partie de l’Eglise Morave dès la Pennsylvanie. Voici ce qu’elle dit exactement: « CHRISTMANN Jacob Christmann was born in 1720 in Rodan, Steinthal, Alsace, immigrated by 1741, and after settling first in Lancaster and York Counties, PA, came to North Carolina in 1763 Although he had joined the Moravians in Pennsylvania, he was not directly associated with their community in NC, living instead on Reedy Fork, a tributary of the Haw River in northeastern Guilford County. Several of his children did move to Salem and the surrounding area, however. His first wife was Barbara Heckedorn, whom he married in PA in 1742. After her death, he married Barbara Kraemer (in Lancaster PA in 1758), with whom he came to NC. Jacob died in January, 1785, in Guilford County. » |

44 « A petition by Eve Ory following Jean Francois' death near Hannastown, PA by Indians. My father (Francois Ory II) served as a Capt. of Pack Horses with General Braddock's army. Your petitioner remembers what great numbers were killed in Braddock's expedition. That she saw herself fifthteen men that were surprised and killed in one night by Indians during this war. Your petitioner has thus given you a statement of her revolutionary services and the loss which she sustained during said revolutionary war. As your petitioner is the only surviving child and only heir at law of her deceased father, Frances Oury, who fell a sacrifice to a cruel and barbarous foe, she prays that congress will view her services in their appropriate light and grant her some renumeration as well for her revolutionary services as also for the destruction of her fathers property by the invading foe, and your aged petitioner as in duty bound will ever pray. » |
45 Extraits de History of Crawford County, Pennsylvania, publié à Chicago en 1885 et mis en ligne par Robin Brown: Other pioneers of the township were: Fisher Lanty, who came prior to 1798; Adam Owry, a Revolutionary soldier, who also came in 1797 or earlier; his brother John, whose reason was dethroned in consequence of injuries sustained while running an Indiana gauntlet; Samuel Rogers, Hugh Andrews, James Calvin, James Hart, Samuel Hays, Michael Kincaid, Robert Kilpatrick, George Linn, John and Robert Lee, David McKee, Thomas MeClenahan, David McGrenahan, William McGinnis, James McCurdy, John Scowden, Rodney and James Wade and William Wright, many of whom were Irish or of Irish origin. A Covenanter or Reformed Presbyterian congregation was organized with fifteen members in 1804 by Dr. John Black, of Pittsburgh, who visited them every fifth Sabbath, the congregation in the meantime keeping up society, and invariably subjecting an absentee to a rebuke. Samuel Hays was the first Elder, and in 1813 Samuel Rogers and John McMaster were added to the session. In that year Rev. Robert Gibson became pastor, and remained thirteen years. Revs. A. W. Black, David Herron and John Nevin succeeded, and when the latter left, about 1866, the congregation disbanded, and the members joined the United Presbyterian Church of Adamsville. The home of this Covenanter congregation was first a round-log-cabin, then a frame church, located on the hill about a mile southwest from Adamsville. Adamsville is a brisk little village, located in the valley of Crooked Creek, in the southern part of the township. The first settlers here were the Owrys. Adam Owry was a blacksmith, and followed his trade here. A little hamlet sprang up, and the construction of the canal gave it shape and position. The settlement was more generally known in its earlier years as Owrytown, but subsequently acquired the title Adamsville, both names being derived from that of Adam Owry. Adamsville, as platted by Henry Owry, was acknowledged Feruary 8, 1841. The original plat contains sixty-four lots. Main Street, sixty feet in width, runs north and south, and First, Second, Third, Liberty and South Streets, each fifty feet wide, cross the village east and west. George Owry was an early tavern-keeper, and Frank Owry operated a saw-mill. The village now (note: en 1885)has a population of about 150 people, and contains two general stores, one drug, one hardware and one furniture store, two blacksmith, one harness and two shoe-shops, one hotel, a physician, a district school of two apartments, and two churches. |
