Notes
Immigrated: 1710 in nr Schuylkill Rv, Valley Forge, Chester Co, PA
(from GENEALOGIES OF PENNSYLVANIA FAMILIES; p.44) . . . They were
Mennonites, and, because
of the persecution of that faith, fled (Switzerland, 1668) to Alsheim in
the neighborhood of Strassburg,
Germany, where he engaged in viniculture, renting an old estate and
castle. (p. 46; lease with the Lord
Fieldmarshal General, Van Kaunter, for the citadel of the castle and the
castle goods 1697 for three years 1700.) He inherited from his father 350
guldens and from his sister, Anneli, 23 guldens. (from Carol Scott Info)
Hans was a prosperous farmer until the War of the Spanish Succession
brought ruin and desolation to that part of Europe. Through the influence
of his step son-in-law, Gerhart Clemens, Hans Stauffer migrated to
America. He and his family and his daughter's family, left their home on
November 5, 1709, and after a three days' journey embarked at Weissenau
on the Rhine. After ten weeks' intermittent travel they reached London on
January 26, 1710. From London, after a stormy and perilous voyage of
sixty-seven days on the ship, "Maria Hope", they reached Philadelphia in
the spring of 1710. They settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, near
Valley Forge. Hans and Kinget Hiestand Stauffer are buried in a Mennonite
graveyard near that place. No tombstone, or record of their deaths has
been discovered. ANABAPTISTS (from Guide to Genealogical records by
Suess; Everton Pub.) The peaceful group of Anabaptists appeared with
Ulrich Zwingli's own circle in most German-speaking areas of Switzerland
in the decade of the 1520s. They referred to themselves at first as
"brethren." They were also known as "Taufgesinnte" (baptismal minded),
"Taufer" (baptists), "Wiedertaufer" and Mennonites. The Anabaptists
wanted to restore Christianity to its earlier, more primitive, purer
form. They felt that the early Christian was a heartfelt believer, a
minority in a pagan state, rejected and persecuted. If this was the case
with the early Christian Church it must also be the case for Christians
at all times. For the Anabaptist the implication was that the state, even
though its rulers might be Christian, must by necessity be un-Christian.
They opposed any union of church and sate. The Anabaptist felt he must be
distinguished from the rest of the population by a strict morality,
including abstinence from alcohol, and also further by a visible token of
his inward regeneration. Since Lutherans, Zwinglians, and Catholics
accepted infant baptism, the Anabaptists appeared as rebaptizers, and
therefore that name was applied to them. The Anabaptist were immediately
persecuted, first by the Catholic Church, and then by the Protestants.
Some Anabaptists were executed, some returned to the Protestant Church,
others tried to exist in obscure places, but many left their homes for
other countries. The three areas where they appeared very early and
existed for a long time are the old states of Bern, Zurich, and Basel.
Some Protestant parish registers recorded children of Anabaptist parents
who were christened in their church. The Anabaptists in the canton of
Bern have existed there through the centuries until the present time
despite extreme difficulties in the past. The majority of Mennonites in
America of Swiss background can trace their beginnings to Bernese
territory. Most of the Bernese Mennonites who stayed in Switzerland fled
to the Jura Mountains during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. This was
the area of the Bishopric of Basel which was partly under the German
empire and partly under Swiss Jurisdiction. Others settled in the
southern part of the Jura which was the Principality of Neuchatel, a
possession of Prussia. After the French Revolution and the Napoleonic
era, the Bishopric of Basel was given to Canton Bern, and the Neuchatel
became a canton in the Swiss Confederacy. Typical Bernese Anabaptist
names included the following: Althaus, Amstutz, Augsburger, Brubacher,
Bertschi, Bichsel, Baumgartner, Bösiger, Bieri, Burkhalter, Bucher,
Brechbuhl, Badertscher, Duller, Eicher, Aeschlimann, Fluckiger,
Aebersold, Frey, Geumann, Gerber, Gut, Grader, Geiger, Gungerich, Gunten,
Gehrig, Haldemann, Habegger, Hochstettler, Hilti, Hirschi. Joder, Imhof,
Krahenbuhl, Kannel, Kaufmann, Ledermann, Lehmann, Luginbuhl, Leichti,
Moser, Mosimann, Neuenschwander, Nussbaum, Neuhauser, Oberli, Reusser,
Rich, Rohrer, Reist, Rothlisberger, Reichenbach, Rupp, Roth, Ramseier,
Schenk, Schrag, Schnegg, Steiner, Stutzmann, Stucki, Sommer, Tschanz,
Suter, Stauffer, Schmucker, Dreier, Thut, Wurgler, Walti, Wenger,
Wuthrich, and Zurcher. Special family records of Anabaptists kept by
Protestant ministers during the latter 18th and 19th century in several
parishes, especially in Trub and Langnau, are kept in the civil
registrar's office. Already in 1526 there were Anabaptists in the canton
of Aargau. They existed with great difficultly in this area until the
early part of the 18th century. Some surnames include: Datwyler, Burger,
Muller, Bachmann, Stahlin, Kunzli, Meier, Suter, Schuhmacher and Widmer.
The beginnings of the Anabaptist movement in 1525 in the old republic of
Zurich have been carefully recorded. A circle of well-educated persons
broke with Zwingli's reform program, feeling it was not complete and
failed to follow scriptural patterns. Extreme persecution started quickly
and these people were either executed or fled. Wherever they went they
started congregations. While the congregation in the city of Zurich soon
became extinct, concentrations of Anabaptists were started in the
southeastern part of the canton of Zurich in Gruningen, around Horgen,
Wadenswil, and Knonau. Family names of Anabaptists in the canton of
Zurich area were: Muller, Landis, Hess, Brubacher, Weber, Bachmann, Gut,
Schneider, Hegli, Huber, Strickler, Graf, Frick, Schnebeli, Peter,
Eberli, Kagi, Pfister, Hofmann, Tanner, Bar, Frey, Nageli, Studer, Wyss,
Meyer,
Ringg, Egli, Oberholzer, Bosshard, and many others.
