CANADOCHLY LUTHERAN CHURCH, YORK CO., PA.

(Hallam Charge)

REV. C. H. HERSHEY, PASTOR

The Hallam Charge, formerly known as the Kreutz Creek Charge, consists of the
St. James' congregation, Hallam, and Canadochly, located three and a half miles
south of Hallam in Lower Windsor Township on the improved road leading from East
Prospect to York, Pa.

The beginning of religious work by people of Lutheran persuasion in the
community in which the Canadochly Lutheran Church is located can be traced back
to the year 1733, when John Casper Stoever crossed the territory now included in
York County, holding religious services and baptizing and also laying plans for
the organization of Christ Church, York, in connection with which the work at
Canadochly and in the Kreutz Creek Valley was for many years carried on.
Although no definite record of the earliest activities seems to exist, there is
in the possession of the congregation a record book containing the names and
lengths of their periods of service of the pastors who labored from 1733 on
down.

From 1733 to 1744 the names of the pastors associated with the history of the
work here are as follows: John Casper Stoever, David Candler, Henry Melchoir
Muhlenburg, J. F. Handschuh and Peter Brunholtz. From 1744 to 1765 the
following York pastors ministered also at Canadochly: John Helfrich Schaum,
George Ludwig Hochheimer, John George Bager, Lucas Raus and Nicholas Hornell.

From early days this was a union church, Lutherans and Reformed worshipping
together. It was during the time when Nicholas Hornell was preaching to the
Lutherans at Canadochly, in the year 1763, that the first church, a log
building, was erected. Logs and stone were brought from the nearby woods and
pews were made by some of the people. A wood-worker carved a pulpit out of the
trunk of a large tree and placed it over a winding stair. Over the pulpit there
was a sounding board. The floor consisted merely of earth. The church was
finished in 1764 and dedicated in June of that year. Rev. Hornell represented
the Lutherans and Rev. Jacob Lischey, the Reformed at this service. This
building stood for thirty-six years. The site of this building is today marked
by a little mound in the old graveyard east of the church.

On June thirtieth, 1765, Rev. Nicholas Hornell preached his farewell sermon and
retired from the ministry. In 1767 Rev. John George Bager became pastor at York
and also at Canadochly, where he had before preached, though perhaps not as a
pastor. He served until 1769. In April, 1770, Rev. John Nicholas Kurtz became
pastor and remained until 1789. The next pastor was Jacob Goering, a native of
Chanceford township. He died in 1807.

The second church, a brick structure, was completed in 1801. The building
committee consisted of Michael Kauffelt and Anthony Keller, Lutherans, and
Conrad Leber and Jacob Dritt, Reformed. Matthew Becker was elected treasurer.

From "The Daily New Era", Tuesday, Mar. 18 1884: "Yost Swope" Remains reinterred today, after having been buried 149 years. In 1720 Yost Swope with his son John, the latter having been the great-grandfather of Zuriel Swope, Esq., of this city, came to this country from near Heidlelberg, Germany, and settled on 1,000 acres of land one mile north of Bird-in-Hand, this county. A portion of the original homestead of 1,000 acres remains in the family to this day. The present owner Daniel Swope and his son Adam D. Swope, farms the place. The remains of the original Yost Swope were buried in the corner of the orchard, about 40 rods from the old dwelling, and on Monday of last week it became necessary to remove the remains. Digging in the earth to the depth of 7 feet a stone slab was encountered and it bore the insciption, "1735" Y. S, showing that Yost Swope had been buried there in 1735. The slab was lifted and there lay the bones of the original ancestor of the Swopes of Lancaster County, and notwithstanding the burial had taken place 149 years ago, the skelton was complete. Beside Yost Swopes remains were those of his wife, and near the skull was quite a quantity of female hair. Today the solemn service of reinterring these ancient and wonderfully preserved remains took place at Heller's Church, and we venture the assertion that no other family in Lancaster County can lay claim to such an experience.

Husband of Anna Katharina Wolfhardt, married 17 May 1681 in Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.
Son of Georg Schwab and Margaretha Zimmerman.

The earliest information we have about Jost Schwab (Yost Swope) is his marriage to Anna Katharina Wolfhardt in Duehren bei Sinsheim near Heidelberg, 27 May 1661 (17 May 1661 - see page 1288). George Schwab was the father of Jost. He was a citizen and councilman in Sinsheim in 1681 which is another village near Heidelberg. Jost Schwab's age was forty-six when he transferred his citizenship from Duehren to Leimen in 1702. This indicates that he was born about 1656. Gilbert E. Swope's History of the Swope Family and Their Connections states that Yost (Jost) was born in 1678. If he were married in 1681 this would be impossible.

Many of the parish records of this area were destroyed during the Thirty Years War, and again in 1689 bythe armies of Loui XIV of France. It was in 1689 that the parish register of Sinsheim was destroyed, and so the record of birth of Jost Schwab and bis brothers and sisters is lost to us.

JOST SCHWAB, THE EMIGRANT
HIS PARENTAGE, HISTORY, AND LIFE STORY

JOST or JUSTUS SCHWAB is the ancestor of most Americans bearing the surname SWOPE and, as far as we have been able to ascertain, is the first Schwab/Swope to migrate to America. Through research in Germany and the United States, a considerable amount of data has been gathered concerning him, and this information gives to us the following story of his life. According to these facts, more than one Jost Schwab lived in the vicinity of Leimen near Heidelberg, Germany, and they were probably all related to one another. Did they come to America together? This is also possible.

Jost Schwab, the father of Johannes Schwab (John Swope) who settled on the Mill Creek in Upper Leacock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania in 1720, is easily identified. This Jost Schwab was born in Sinsheim, Baden in 1655 or 1656, the son of Georg Schwab, citizen and counselor in Sinsheim, and Margaretin born Zimmerman. Jost had a brother Georg, born in 1659, and another brother, George Albrecht, who was a baker (Jost was also a baker) and seminary director at Sinsheim. He had also a sister whose name is unknown, who had a child, Anna Christina, born in 1678. Georg Schwab, father of Jost, is thought to have been the brother of another Jost Schwab, the mayor of Sandhausen, a village which was part of the parish of Leimen in 1700. (See page1303).

Jost Schwab, our American ancestor, son of Georg and Margaretha (Zimmerman) Schwab, grew up in Sinsheim and became a baker as did his brother, Georg Albrecht. On the 17th of May 1681 when he was twenty-five years old, Jost married his betrothed, the seventeen year old, Anna Catharina Wolfhardt, in the beautiful Choir Roorn of the Lutheran Church at Duehren, a village near Sinsheim. Jost was a member of the Reformed Church in Sinsheim. Anna Catharina, born 9 October 1663, was the daughter of the Mayor of Duehren. Hans Jorg Wolfhardt/Wohlfahrt and his wife, Anna Haagen. (See Chapter 2). Her grandfather, Georg Johann Wolfhardt/Wohlfahrt, was the Minister of the Lutheran Church in Duehren during the Thirty Years War. Her father, Hans Jorg, was born in the Steinsberg Fort (the ruins of this fort can still be seen near Duehren (picture page 1293) where his father, Georg Johann, had taken his family for protection.

Jost and Anna Catharina settled down in Duehren where he earned his living as a baker. For almost twenty-one years the family lived in Duehren and six of their children were baptized in the Lutheran Church there. The 27th of March 1695, Jost's mother, Margaretha Schwab, died and was buried in Sinsheim. At the time of her death she was a widow; her husband, Georg Schwab, died sometime after Jost was married in 1681 and before 1689 when the church record of Sinsheim commences.

In 1702 Jost moved his family to Leimen (see map page 1290) where they enrolled as citizens the 27th of April 1702. Jost declared that he was 46 years old and was born in Sinsheim on the Elsenz river, Kreis (county) Heidelberg, Baden and that he was a member of the Reformed Church. His wife, Anna Katerina, was 38 years old and a Lutheran. They brought with them the following seven children:

Hans Jorg, 19 years
Jost Conrad, 13 years
Anna Elisabeth, 11 years
Anna Margaretha, 7 years
Anna Magdalena, 5 years
Anna Maria, 3 years
Anna Katharina, 1/2 year

On the 26th of May 1704 their son, Johannes, ancestor of many Arnericans, was born, and was baptized the 28th of May 1704. In 1707 another son, Hans Ulrich, was born in Leimen. The 7th of September 1709, Anna Catharine, gave birth to her last child; the infant was stillborn.

Shortly after the move to Leimen, their eldest son, Hans Jörg or Georg, married Anna Eva (some researchers say her maiden name was Schaeffner, but do not give the source of this information). They named their first child, Johann Georg, at his baptism, 9 January 1706. The sponsor at the baptism was Johan Georg Wohlfarth (or Wolfhardt) of "Duehren bei Sinsheim", the grandfather of Hans Georg Schwab and the great grandfather of the child.

On the 5th of April 1712 Jost and Anna Catharina Schwab's eldest daughter, Anna Elisabetha, now nineteen years old, married Johann Eberhard Riehm. Both are listed as of the Reformed religion. Their first child was christened Johann Jacob Riehm at Leimen 14 June 1713. Jost Schwab wrote in his records, ,,My daughter, Anna Eliss' child born 1 Brachmond (June) 1713." (See page 1304) Another child, Anna Katharina, daughter of Johan Eberhard and Anna Elisabetha Riehm, was christened, 19 January 1716. In 1717 the Riehms (spelled Ream in America) left for Pennsylvania. Their third child, Abraham Riehm, was born in Philadelphia (according to the records of the Ream Family Association),

Jost and Anna Catharina Schwab and the rest of the family must not have left Leimen in 1717, because their daughter, Anna Maria, married the widower, Andreas Meixel, 19 Septenter 1719. The marriage record states that ,,Anna Maria is the legitimate, single daughter of Jost Schwab, citizen and baker at Leimen" as though he were still living here.

Jost Schwab, his family, and possibly other relatives are believed to have departed from Leimen for the trip down the Rhine to the sea in May 1720. We do not know how many of the children came to America with Jost. The parish registers of Leimen infer that all of them left Leimen in 1720 except Hans Georg, who made the trip in 1727.
