Marr: 1743/44, Adams County, Penna18,5, 41
From Edward W. Spangler , in the book The
Annals of the Families of Caspar, Henry, Baltzer and George Spengler published
1896:
μHe and his brother, Rudolph, were located prior to 1738, by their
father on a tract of land supposed to measure "six hundred acres," seven
miles west of Codorus Creek, (York did not then exist,) on the Little Codorus
Creek, on the "Conococheague Road" now the York and Gettys burg Turnpike,
all then in the County of Lancaster.
μOn an accurate survey made of the same in 1765 in pursuance of a second
warrant issued by the Surveyor General in 1763, this tract measured seven
hundred and nineteen acres and allowance, of which 363 acres and 154 perches,
western portion, were patented to Rudolph Spengler, in trust for the wife
and children of Jonas, then deceased. A copy of the
original warrant of October 16th, 1738, issued by Thomas Penn, and
on file in the interior department at Harrisburg, will be found under the
title of Rudolph Spengler, (Son of Caspar). μThis entire tract was then
a dense forest, and as late as 1769 only 15 acres of the tract was in grain.
His widow was then assessed 3 horses, 2 cows and 2 sheep. The large springs
upon it were favorite places for the wigwams of the Indians, and around
one of which, as late as thirty years ago, arrow heads and tomahawks were
annually ploughed up in great abundance. ...Patents to them respectively
were issued for the same λby Thomas Penn, and Richard Penn, through John
Penn, true and Absolute Proprietors and Governors in Chief of the Province
of Pennsylvania, dated the 14th day of October, 1767, the 7th year of the
Reign of King George the Third over Great Britain, etc., and the 50th year
of the said Proprietors' Government.ν .....The deed is endorsed, "Patent
Rudolph Spengler, Spenglesberg, York county." This 356 tract was bounded
by lands of Jacob Wiest, John Myers, Philip Crist, John Appleman,
and the said heirs of Jonas Spengler, deceased. The consideration for this
patent to Rudolph was the payment of 50 pounds, 8 shillings lawful money
of Pennsylvania, and the yearly Quit Rent of one half penny sterling
for every acre thereof, if the same thereof is coin current according as
the exchange shall be between said Province and the City of London.
μThe grant was in "free and common socage by fealty in lieu of all
other services, and included all the Mines, Minerals, Quarries, Marshes,
Savannahs, Swamps, Cripples, Woods, Underwoods, Trees, Timbers, Ways, Waters,
Watercourses, Liberties, Profits, Commodities, Advantages, Hereditaments,
and Appurtenances, whatsoever thereto belonging. Three full and clear fifths
parts of all the Royal Mines, free from all deductions and reprisals,
for digging and refining the same and also one fifth part of the ore of
all other mines delivered at the Pitts Mouth only excepted and hereby reserved."
6
μWhile the Indian Sachems had a few years
before 1738, conveyed their lands on both sides of the Susquehanna and
west to the setting of the Sun, this section on the little Conewago creek,
and westward, was still the hunting ground of the Conestogas, the Mingoes,
and the Conewagoes--the last of the Susquehannas. It was around the mammoth
springs of this section that they held some of their religious and annual
Corn festivals. William Penn, in a letter of 1683, gives a very interesting
and graphic description of their habits, customs, and religious rites.
μAt the same period the Germans, by dispensing even-handed justice
and the exercise of skilful diplomacy, were singularly exempt from Indian
depredations and massacres. They declined to encroach upon the implied
and reserved rights of the red man; nor would they permit unscrupulous
English traders to deceive and defraud them. It was not until Braddock's
defeat in 1755 that the settlers of York County were put in imminent peril.
A description of their inroads and massacres will be found in the appendix.1
Jonas Spengler died in 1762, on his said plantation in Paradise
(now Jackson) Township, and left to survive him Mary Kindigen (or Catharine)
Spengler (on her tombstone Maria Stinia Spengler), who was born in Germany
in 1718, and died October 15, 1784. Her remains lie in the Pigeon Hill
churchyard beside her husband. ξ2

There are conflicting Franklin Co cemetery records for Christian Wiest which show two seperate birth and death dates: 1) 11 Oct 1714 - 18 Aug 1812 aged 97 yrs 10 mos 7 dys; and (2) 11 Oct 1744 - 18 Aug 1842.39
μ"The 1779 tax list of Paradise
Township, York Co, includes a Christian Wiest with 150 acres, 4 horses,
3 cattle and John Wiest with
150 acres, 3 horses, 4 cattle. For some reason, Franklin Co will
records include a will for Christian Wiest of Paradise Township, York Co.
This will was written 8 Apr 1830 and probated in Franklin Co 5 Dec 1842.
He named a son Jacob and daughters Anna Mary wife of Henry Appleman, Barbara
(deceased) wife of John Bentzel, and Elisabeth wife of Samuel Hoke.
He named as executors his "trusty friends" Michael Wiest and John Wiest.
There
are conflicting Franklin Co cemetery records for Christian Wiest:
(1) 11 Oct 1714 - 18 Aug 1812 aged 97 yrs 10 mos 7 dys; and (2) 11
Oct 1744 - 18 Aug 1842.
The second set of dates may well be correct, particularly if this is
one and the same as Christian Wiest of York Co whose will was probated
in Dec 1842. There is also a Franklin Co cemetery listing for Jacob,
son of Christian Wiest 8 Jul 1770 - 19 Dec 1855, aged 85 yrs 5 mos 11 dys.ξ
