"The children of Melchior emigrated to America 173'3 (1734). Their mother was probably too sick to go with them and besides that her husband remained also. Melchior's ancestors were, 1655, the brothers Balthasar and Melchior Heydrich in Nieder Harpersdorf."

"Balthasar Heydrich of Nieder Harpersdorf and Rosina, born Hiibner, were married in the Duchy of Brandenburg. They stipulated 1727, were however baptized July 14, 1728 in Wiesa and emigrated with wife and child, an adopted daughter and a sister. They are living there, 1735, in Falkener (sic) Swamp. They left a fortune of 390 Reichsthaler. Besides that Christoph Heydrich had to pay them a fine of 50 Ds." [Notes on fly leaf of Gen. Record of Hon. Christopher Heydrick.]

"Balthasar Heydrick (son of Melchior Heydrick, b 1683 and Barbara Kurk, b 1687, married Nov. 15, 1707) was baptized 15, May 1709. Record of Lutheran Church, Hdrf., Journal of Regent, the Jesuit Missionary." [ Notes of Hon. Christopher Heydrick, p

"Balthasar Heydrick, son of George Heydrick of Niederdorf was baptized 6, March 1707. Melchior Heydrick and Barbar Kurtzin were married 15, Nov. 1707 in den Felda. Balthasar Heydrick son of Melchior Heydrick was baptized 15, May 1709."

[Copied from Church Register at Harpersdorf, July 9, 1896, by Hon. Christopher Heydrick.]

Balthasar Heydrick purchased an estate in Frederick Twp., then Phila., now Montg. Co., from the Proprietaries. He was descended from George Heydrick who was confined in Liegnitz prison from 1650 until 1658 for "heresy." [ Hon. Christopher Heydrick's Gen. Rec., p 10.]

"Jacob Fouth and wife, by deed dated June 26, 1735 and recorded in the office for recording deeds in Phila., in Deed Book F, Vol. 8, p 216, conveyed two contiguous tracts of land containing 50 acres each, situate in Frederick Twp., Phila. now Montg. Co., adj. Perkiomen Creek, to Balthasar Heydrick. Consideration-one hundred and three pounds." [Notes of Hon. Christopher Heydrick, p 10.]

It would seem that in the interval between 1732 and 1741 the properties owned at former times by Jacob Fout and George Schweinhard had passed into the ownership of Balthasar Heydick. [Con­clusion from examination of Dotterer Records.]

Sauer's German newspaper, "Pennsylvanische Berichte," of Feb. 19, 1745, contains an adver­tisement by Balthasar Heidrich, in which he states that he lives near Hans Miller.

Doctor Miller and his wife, Elizabeth, are buried on the farm now owned by Mr. Samuel Foust in Frederick Twp., in the meadow, by Society Run. [John Hagman to Henry Antes-Dotterer Papers.]

Abraham Heydrick kept a store and farm at the foot of Chestnut Hill in Springfield Twp., Pa., later known as the "Wheel-Pump Hotel." During the Revolutionary war, when the Continental Money was at a discount, it is said that Abraham Heydrick had so much money that he kept it in barrels, from which fact a tradition is current in the families of his descendants that he had a "barrel of money." It is also said that after the Battle of Germantown, when Washington's troops retreated to Whitemarsh, Mrs. Heydrick stood at the door of their store and handed out food and drink to the soldiers as they passed by. [C. Heydrick.]

According to tradition Abraham Heydrick served as a private in the Revolution.

It is also stated that when Abraham Heydrick built the stone house which stood opposite the Wheel Pump Hotel at Chestnut Hill, Mrs. Heydrick assisted him by carrying the stones to him in her apron. This house was built in 1767 and remained in the hands of the Heydrick family until 1896, when the heirs of Charles Heydrick disposed of it.

For much of the data regarding Abraham Heydrick and his descendants, the editor is indebted to the late Judge Christopher Heydrick [52b-43], and Dr. J. E. Burnett Buckenham [52b-53].

Abraham Heydrick, Sr., son of Balthasar Heydrick, lived at the foot of Chestnut Hill, later known as "Heydrick's Dale„" which consisted of a few houses. The tavern, or public house, was owned by Sebastian Neff in 1742. The survey deed to Neff shows that the tavern existed at that date. It was later owned by Jacob Neff, only son and heir of Sebastian, who bequeathed it to his son, Jacob, who married Susanna Heydrick. Jacob Neff, Jr., deeded this property to Abraham Heydrick and Susanna, sister of Jacob Neff. Thus it came into the possession of Abraham Heydrick, and upon his death in 1866 it was sold by his heirs, thus passing out of the family.

For a number of years this hotel was kept by Isaac Evans, brother-in-law of Abraham Heydrick, and later it was kept by a son-in-law, Amos Corson. The tract of land upon which the present house is located was part of a large tract purchased by Christopher Yeakle prior to 1767, at which time Christo­pher's daughter, Susanna, married Abraham Heydrick, and they together built the upper half of the present homestead building. In 1795, Christopher Yeakle conveyed by deed to Abraham Heydrick a portion of a large tract consisting of four acres, on which the homestead buildings had been erected. There was a small stone house with the lower portion as a spring-house and the upper story as a smoke­house. Tradition says this house had been planned with a view to occupancy as a residence in case of Mrs. Heydrick's meeting with misfortune which would take away her home from her possession.

Abraham Heydrick, Sr., was the owner of a tract of land located in Chestnut Hill, fronting on Germantown Avenue and running westward a considerable distance to Graver's Lane, then known as Union Avenue. [J. E. B.]

Balthasar Heydrick lived in Flourtown, Montg. Co., Pa., and is buried in Union Cern. at that place. He was a captain in the Revolutionary War. He died insolvent and the settlement of his estate showed numerous notes given by him.

Balser Heydrick, as Captain, signed papers on the following dates: Feb. 14, 1780; Feb. 14, 1780; Feb. 14, 1781.

"Waynesburg, Mar. 4, 1779, have an opportunity to send with Captain Heydrick of Philadelphia 6000 dollars to Lieut. Col. Farmer." [Pa. Arch., Vol. 7, p 369.]

"It is supposed they both (Balthasar Heydrick and his wife of Frederick) were buried in Lower Salford." [W. A. Y. to C. Heydrick, Jan. 4, 1878.]

"Balthasar Heydrick built a one story log house on the east side of the turnpike in the central part of Flourtown, which was still standing in recent years and was said to be the only log building remaining anywhere in this section of the country." [Bean—Hist. of Montg. Co., p 1072.]

Dr. Christopher Heydrick was born in Springfield Twp., Phila. Co. (now Montg.), Pa. In his youth, after having fitted himself by a thorough course of education, he studied the science of medicine under the instruction of the celebrated Dr. Benjamin Say, of Phila., and in 1792, at the age of 22 years, was graduated with high honors from the University of Pa. Six years afterward, in 1798, he was elected a member of the Philadelphia Society of Medicine, and during the same year, and for some time thereafter, he held the position of Physician to the Phila. Hospital. In 1815, he was elected Resident Member of the Cabinet of Sciences in Phila., an honor which has been conferred upon few, and those the most learned and scientific men in the country.

Having been engaged in the practice of medicine, and with much success, at Chestnut Hill, Phila., and in the city of Phila. itself, from 1792 until 1819, he at the latter date removed to the borough of Mercer, in Mercer County, Pa. He resided in this place several years, and enjoyed a very successful, lucrative practice. But from his youth having a passion for agriculture, he determined to abandon his profession and enjoy for the remainder of his life his favorite pursuit; with this object in view, he re­moved from Mercer to a farm in the valley of French Creek, Venango County, Pa., where he continued to reside until the day of his death. During the last ten or twelve years of his life he was afflicted with blindness. After a long and eventful life, Dr. Heydrick died Feb. 9, 1856, in the 86th year of his age.

"The career of Dr. Heydrick as a physician belongs not so much to the history of Venango county as to that of the city of Phila. and of the County of Mercer, in which sketches of his life are found. But as a pioneer, in the sense that he visited Venango county before it was fully organized and acquired property therein and caused one of the oldest and best farms within its borders to be opened up and improved, he is worthy of notice here. He was born in Montg. Co. near Chestnut Hill, now a suburb of Phila. His grandfather, Balthasar Heydrick, to escape religious persecution, fled from Silesia to Saxony in 1726 and emigrating to Pa. in 1734, settled in Montg. Co. where he bought land of the Penns. Dr. Heydrick was educated privately at home, under the direction and with the friendly assistance of David Rittenhouse, the eminent philosopher, mathematician, and patriot. He studied medicine with Dr. Benjamin Say of Phila. and was graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1792. After his graduation he was physician to the Philadelphia Hospital and a member of several of the most prominent learned societies of the time. He continued his practice at Chestnut Hill until 1819.

"In 1802-3 he made a visit of inspection to land owned by his father in the third, fifth, and sixth donation districts. Delighted with the tract on French Creek at the mouth of the Deer Creek, then the site of an Indian village known as Custaloga's Town, he purchased it from his father intending some day to make it his home. In 1819, he removed to Mercer and there practiced his profession. Part of his French Creek tract had been for years cultivated by the Indians and he gave an improvement lease to James Martin, son of John Martin, Sr. Martin erected buildings, and enlarged the Indian improvement. The farm had been fairly opened to cultivation and is now in possession of his son, Charles H. Heydrick. Advancing years admonished the doctor that he must soon abandon his pro­fession. So he removed to the farm and passed the remainder of his days with his son.

"Dr. Heydrick, Apr. 13, 1793, married Mary, daughter of Captain Peter Care, Sr., of Philadelphia. His death occurred on the 9th of February, 1856. His children were Harriet, married to Nathaniel P. Hood, of Philadelphia; Caroline married to Thomas J. Brown of Mercer County; and Charles H.

"To a mind vigorous and receptive by nature, the subject of our sketch added the thorough culture of the schools and that wisdom that comes from observation and contact with his fellowmen. He lives in the memory of those who knew him as a genial old gentleman, ripe in knowledge and experience, which he was always willing to impart for the benefit of those around him." [A. P. W.—

"Charles H. Heydrick, son of Dr. Christopher Heydrick, was born at Chestnut Hill, Philadel­phia, Mar. 5, 1799. He was educated at the University of Pennsylvania and studied medicine with his father, but never practiced. He came to Mercer, Pa., with his parents in 1819. Seven years later he removed to his farm on French Creek, where he resided until his death on the 16th of Dec., 1883. In 1826, Mr. Heydrick married Mary, daughter of James Adams, who owned a large tract of land at the mouth of Mill Creek, a part of which is now the borough of Utica. Six children were the fruits of that union: James A., Christopher, Jesse, Peter, Charles W., and Harriet. Mrs. Mary (Adams) Heydrick died in 1838. The sons are all living. His second marriage with Ann Adams, daughter of Jesse Adams of Mifflin County, Pa., gave him four children: Mary, Joseph H., Caroline and Thomas B. The latter two are dead.

"In 1842, he was elected county auditor. Jan. 22, 1845, he was appointed by the surveyor general of Pa. deputy surveyor for Venango County, and reappointed May 29, 1845, holding the office until it became elective. He was elected in 1853 and again in 1856, and his official records during all of that time are models of neatness and accuracy. Although eminently qualified to perform the duties of any public position, Mr. Heydrick had no particular taste for official life. For him rural life had its charms. The splendid domain which came into the possession of his ancestors more than a hundred years ago, and descended to him was his pride. There, surrounded by his flocks and herds and fertile fields he loved to greet his friends and dispense warm hospitality to all who came. There he was seen at his best, and there the visitor could feel the truth of the old phrase—`God made the country, and man made the town.'

"This old farm, beautified by more than half a century's intelligent culture, is also historic ground. On it Custaloga, the tricky Indian, who gave Washington so much trouble, built his town. There beneath the old trees, still standing, the Redmen held their councils, and there lie the remains of Guyasutha, a renowned and powerful Chieftain. In caring for Guyasutha's grave and preventing all desecration of the old chief's last resting place, Mr. Heydrick evinced the kindly side of his own nature. God permitted him to live to a ripe old age, measurably free from its usual attendant cares and infirmi­ties. As the years came upon him he lost none of his early interest in human affairs. The happiness of those around him was happiness for himself. When alone his cultured mind found company in books and recreation in thought. His strong hold upon the regard of his neighbors and friends acquired by years of kindly intercourse, was his to the last. Growing old gracefully he reaped the recompense of that rare but happy condition in the continuous care and affection of his children, and escaped the neg­lect which accompanies, more or less, the querulous and complaining old age. Venango has had no better citizen than Charles H. Heydrick." [A. P. W. in Hist. of Venango Co., Pa.]

Although Charles H. Heydrick was far removed from the vicinity of the Schwenkfelders' settle­ment, he always remained true to this faith and never joined any other church. At the family fireside, in the evening, he related to his family the history and traditions of the Schwenkfelders, and showed them his Schwenkfelder books and manuscripts which he treasured highly. It was in this manner that he inspired his son, Christopher, later a Judge of the Supreme Court of Pa., with such a deep interest in the history and progress of the Schwenkfelders, although he never lived near enough to the Church to attend services, except on occasional visits to Eastern Pennsylvania.

For nearly a century, the Heydrick family has been a distinguished one in northwestern Pennsyl­vania. It was on the banks of the French Creek in Venango County that Christopher Heydrick was born, May 19, 1830. His grandfather, Dr. Christopher Heydrick, a native of Springfield Township, Philadelphia, now Montgomery County, was graduated with high honors from the medical department

 

GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES                  875

of the University of Pennsylvania in 1792, at the early age of 22 years. After having followed a very successful practice in medicine at Chestnut Hill, he moved with his family in 1819 to Mercer County, Pennsylvania. Subsequently, in 1826 he took up his abode on a farm in the valley of French Creek, Venango County. Thenceforth he followed the occupation of general farming in which he was succeed­ed by his son, Charles Henry Heydrick, the father of Christopher.

When the Heydrick family first visited French Creek in 1819, the Indian village of Custalogastown was located on the farm which they later occupied. It was on this farm that Christopher Heydrick was born and reared. It was here likewise on long winter evenings during his boyhood years that he early learned the traditions concerning his Schwenkfelder ancestry. His father was a man with a retentive memory and a great facility for relating the traditions and stories of his ancestors. He dili­gently strove to impress his children with the account of the trials and tribulations endured by the fathers and mothers of old. It was at the fire-side of his parents that Christopher Heydrick obtained his early education at the hands of his erudite father.

Following the years of his early home training and the completion of his primary education in the local schools, Mr. Heydrick continued his studies at the Grand River Institute at Austinburg, Ohio. Thereupon he entered Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, being graduated from the same in the year, 1852. Subsequent to his graduation from college he taught school for several years in his native county and in the state of Kentucky; it was while so occupied in Kentucky that he read law and there obtained his first license to practice. On January 27, 1854, he was admitted to the bar of Venango County. From that time forward Mr. Heydrick practiced in all of the northwestern counties of the commonwealth and also in the Superior Courts. At a later date, Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania appointed him to serve for a term in the Supreme Court of the state. Thenceforth he was known as "Judge Heydrick." His wide reputation as lawyer and jurist caused him to receive frequent calls to other states, and in this capacity he appeared in the Courts of Justice in New York, Nebraska, Ken­tucky, and the United States Circuit Courts. In the History of Venango County, published in 1890, Judge Heydrick is spoken of in the following language:

"He is naturally careful, and possessed with a mathematical and logical mind, reinforced in this line of his profession by practical knowledge of surveying, and surveyor's methods of doing work on the ground, which art he learned from his father. His skill and accuracy as a draftsman is attested by the map of Venango County made in 1875, which he compiled, and which through all subdivisions of original tracts, still remains the standard map of the County.

"His style of speaking or writing is dignified, deliberate, logical, clear and concise, yet with com­prehensive fidelity to all necessary details, while his legal papers are models for both style and diction. He is recognized as a safe, conscientious and able lawyer, whose long and successful experience in his profession justly entitles him to rank among the leading lawyers of Western Pennsylvania.

"As a citizen, Mr. Heydrick takes active part in any logical enterprise for the betterment of the community.

"Though ardently devoted to his profession, he has always given time and talent towards in­culcating and defending the principles of the Democratic Party, and was the nominee for president judge of this judicial district in 1878."

In the pursuit of his profession Judge Heydrick maintained integrity and force which impressed all who came in contact with him. He enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his colleagues at the bar. In his disposition he was modest and retiring but always willing and ready to respond to any call for public service. Among the many notable public addresses prepared and delivered by him may be mentioned "The Transportation and Storage of Petroleum," which was published in a pamphlet of 22 pages. Another of his addresses delivered February 4, 1904, at a dinner of the Venango County Bar Association as a response to a toast on "John Marshall, Chief Justice of the United States" was likewise published in an 18 page pamphlet by the Venango County Bar, in the proceedings of the cen­tennial of the organization of the Court of Venango County. There was likewise published in the same proceedings an article by Judge Heydrick on the local courts for the period, 1806 to 1850.

The University of Pittsburgh during the active career of his life honored itself by conferring upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws.

For the past few generations, the name of Judge Heydrick has been a household word among the Schwenkfelders of Southeastern Pennsylvania. He had the good fortune to be born and reared in an atmosphere filled with the spirit and story of his noble ancestors. As the years of his life increased he came to cling with a greater tenacity to the records, the traditions and the environments of his Silesian forbears. While many another scion of the early Silesians in Pennsylvania wandered far from the early moorings in the New World and was completely lost among the masses of the people, this noble

 

876                      GENEALOGICAL RECORD OF THE SCHWENKFELDER FAMILIES

son of the West clung with increasing tenderness and devotion to the people from whom his family had gone forth.

When the project to publish a genealogical record of the Schwenkfelders was first launched, very nearly fifty years ago, Christopher Heydrick was one of its promoters. He prepared the historical introduction for that volume which was published in 1879. That sketch has very fittingly been called a classic in Schwenkfelder literature. Judge Heydrick's interest in the genealogies of his family and people was very marked. Throughout the remainder of his life, following the publication of the 1879 edition of the Schwenkfelder Genealogical Record, he continued his researches in family history. He had numerous documents translated into English from the German and Dutch languages. In company with his wife he visited Silesia in 1896, in the hope of finding additional information about his family history.

The increasingly wide range of Christopher Heydrick's influence in reviving interest in Schwenk-felder history was also manifested in his participation in the observance of the Sesquicentennial of the landing of the Schwenkfelders. Appropriate exercises commemorating the event were held in the Worcester Schwenkfelder Church, September 24, 1884. Early in the year of 1883, Christopher Heydrick and Gen. John F. Hartranft had met in Philadelphia and taken the preliminary steps looking to the observance of that Sesquicentennial. His letter written to Dr. Chester D. Hartranft, January 26, 1883, tentatively inviting him to deliver the oration on September 24, 1884, marked the beginning of a new era in the literary history of the Schwenkfelders. The paper which Christopher Heydrick prepared for the occasion was not read unfortunately because of the lateness of the hour. It was later published however in the November, 1914, issue of "The Schwenkfeldian," and also in a reprint entitled "The Schwenkfelders."

Christopher Heydrick took an active interest in preparing the way for Dr. Chester Hartranft's initial tour of research through Europe. He maintained a vital interest in the progress of the "Corpus Schwenckfeldianorum" as a literary monument to the memory of the fathers. The acquisition of the Perkiomen Seminary property in 1892 by the Schwenkfelder Church likewise enlisted his substantial services in behalf of the revival and maintenance of that institution. Moreover, his munificent offer made toward the erection of the Historical Library building at Pennsburg, assured its completion and thus secured a home for the preservation of historical documents relating to the history of the Schwenk-felders.

For more than a generation, Judge Heydrick was prominently associated with the interests of the Sehwenkfelders. He had united with the Presbyterian Church but this fact did not deter him from maintaining a vital interest in all matters relating to the church of his ancestors. The memory of his oft repeated visits to the homes and services of his father's people still lives. He was a greatly cherished guest among them, honored as he was beloved by each and all.

After teaching for several years in the Phila. public schools, Dr. Buckenham resigned to enter the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, and from this institution he was graduated in June, 1910, with the highest honors of his class, having been awarded the Spencer Morris prize. Dr. Buckenham then served as resident physician at various hospitals in Philadelphia, and in 1913 was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Medical Corps of the U. S. A. For a number of years he was, the superintendent of the Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases, but in 1920 he resigned this position to become librarian of the Masonic Temple Library at Phila., an office which he now holds (1922).

Dr. Buckenham is actively interested in horticulture, and has specialized in the growing of dahlias. In his nursery at Barren Hill, Pa., are hundreds of varieties of dahlias, and with his magnificent blooms he has won many prizes at horticultural shows.

In history and the sciences Dr. Buckenham has likewise taken an active interest, and has been influential in the organization of various patriotic societies. As the treasurer and as a member of the executive committee, he has promoted for a number of years the interests of the Pennsylvania-German Society, and upon the formation of the Society of the Descendants of the Schwenkfeldian Exiles, he was appointed its secretary. Dr. Buckenham is also one of the guarantors for the publication of this book, and serves as a member of the Publishing Committee.
