INTRODUCTION.

At the Nineteenth Annual Reunion of the Reemsnvder

family held Saturday, August 12, 1905, at the home of

Peter Holl it was unanimously decided to publish a family

history. A Committee consisting of Rev. B. E. Reemsny-

der, Clinton C. Reemsnyder and Samuel Holl was elected to

have full charge of the work. The Committee after spend-

ing more than two years in strenuously endeavoring to find

out all the facts from all the relatives is now ready to makeits report and to cease from its labors.

To write a family history is by no means an easy task,

and to publish one without errors and entirely satisfactory

to all is an absolute impossibility. Some families were not

heard from, others sent in only meager portions of their

history. Since the Committee was writing a history and

not a book of fiction, it could only record what was re-

ported to it. The same information was sought of all ; the

book will tell how freely all responded. A few reported

far more than is found in this histor}'. There are three

reasons why such reports were condensed

:

(i). Parts of these reports had too much local color-

ing for a book which will go from Pennsylvania to Wash-

f^ ington and from Dakota to Louisiana.

/< (2) The price, and so necessarily the size of the book,

fwas considered.

^(3.) In only a few cases did this occur and it was not

p. deemed wise to give much more space to one than to an-

'/) other of the same generation.

r The plan followed in the arranging of the families may

_: be new, but with a little care, you will find it comparatively

-- easy to understand. An index of all the names would be a

/

valuable addition to the history for quick reference, but this

benefit would scarcely justify the extra outlay of time and

money.

The Committee wishes to acknowledge its deep debt

of gratitude to all who so freely and generously assisted in

making this history possible. The Committee simply gath-

ered the facts and then arranged them so that there would

be some degree of order and harmony throughout the book.

The picture of Margaret Musser Reemsnyder, wife of

Herman Reemsnyder, will be found as a frontispiece. The

money needed for this was raised by a voluntary subscrip-

tion taken at the Reunion on August lo, 1907.

It is earnestly 'hoped that this history will make us all

better acquainted with our relatives, and that we will take

a greater a/id more active interest in our Annual Reunions,

which are always held on the second Saturday of August.

The place is selected each year.

The Committee.

VII

EARLY HISTORY.

It was decided at the outset to be^in this history with

Herman Frederick Riemenschneider (Reemsnyder). It has,

however, seemed wise to insert a Chapter on Early History.

The name Riemenschneider originated in one of the

northern provinces of Germany. We have discovered three

different ways of spelHng the name in this country. There

are famiHes in the East who spell it Remensnyder ; others

in Ohio who spell it Riemenschneider; and a few others in

Indiana who spell it Reemsnyder. We have found no con-

nections with these three families but they all originally

came from Germany and so, no doubt, are distantly related.

About all we know of the family in Germany relates to

Herman's parents and his sister and three brothers and their

children. This information w'hich is meag-er comes to us

through two letters written to Herman in 1791 and 1800 by

his brother Johann. These letters, written in German, are

in the possession of Luther Reemsnyder, Canton, Ohio.

John and Catherine Riemenschneider, of Altoona, Ger-

many, had five children: Heinrich, March 18, 1740—Sept.

15, 1786; Herman Frederick, 1742—Aug. 8, 1808; Johann,

dates not known; Susanna, died April 16, 1789; Diedrick

Philip, dates not known.

Heinrich married Hedewig Koorhen, March 7, 1773-

She died in May, 1791. Their home was in Bremen. They

had four children: Diederich Philip, March 26, 1774;

Gehche Adelhied, March 14, 1776; Heinrich, August 10,

1778; Johann, April 15, 1780, died May 18, 1787. Gehche

Adelhied was a dressmaker, later married Heinrich Preitsze.

VIII

Johann married Catherine Maria, October 15, 1773.

She died December 21, 1799. He was a school teacher in

the Reformed Parochial School, of Altoona, Germany. They

had seven children: Frederick, July 21, 1775 ; Jacob Philip,

December 14, 1777; Maria Elizabeth Juliana, March 18,

1780; Gerhard Diedrick, November 6, 1781—October 10,

1783; Peter Ulrich, February 21, 1785—July 22, 1787; Ja-

cob Fred Wilhelm, January 13, 1789 ; Catherine Henrietta,

September 9, 1792. The two oldest sons were g^oldsmiths.

Susanna married Diederich Meyer April 25, 1787. Hewas a wig manufacturer. Their son, Diederich born in 1787

was a good student in the foreign languages. Their homewas in Bremen.

Diederich Philip had two sons. The older one was

bom March 26, 1774, and in 1787 he left home and had not

been heard from in 1800. The younger son was born Aug-ust 10, 1778, and in 1800 was learning to quill in Bremen.

To write the life of Herman Riemenschneider is in-

deed a tedious and difficult task. The generation that

knew him is now all passed. Family traditions, tombstones and government records were examined to find

authentic information concerning him. The best, how-

ever, comes to us through the letters from his brother,

written in 1791 and 1800.

This is the story that is told by many of the rela-

tives: Herman left Germany in order to escape being

drafted for the Seven Years' War. He arrived at Phila-

delphia at about 18 years of age and began work as a

cabinet maker. How long he stayed at Philadelphia and

worked at the trade is unknown. He left there and went

further west and located in Chester County, Pennsyl-

vania. After staying there a little while, he went to

Lancaster County, Pa., and there followed his trade. At

the outbreak of the Revolution, he enlisted in the service.

The follovv^ing are government reports of the same

:

WAR DEPARTMENT.The Military Secretary's Office,

Washington, March 14. 1906.

The records of this office show that one, Frederich Ream-schneider served as a private in Capt. Andrew Geyer's Companyof Colonel T. Matlock's rifle battalion, Philadelphia Brigade,Pennsylvania Troops, Revolutionary War. His name appearson a muster roll of a division of the Company mentioned, cov-ering the period from December 4 to 24, both dates included,

year not stated. He is reported on said roll as "entered service,

Dec. 4." Nothing further bearing upon the subject of inquiryhas been found of record.

It is suggested, as a possibility, that additional informationcan be obtained from the Adjutant General of the State ofPennsylvania.

(Signed.) THE MILITARY SECRETARY.Harrisburg, Pa., U. S. A.

Sept. 18, 1906.

To Whom It May Concern:

—

I hereby certify that the name of Frederich Rimesnyder ap-pears as that of a private on the pay-roll of Capt. Chas. Gobin'sCompany of the Sixth Battalion of Berks County Militia, underthe command of Col. Joseph Hiester in the service of the UnitedStates, from August 10th to Sept. 9th, 1780.

See P. 237, Vol. 5, Pennsylvania Archives, Fifth Series.

LUTHER R. KELKER.Custodian of the Public Records, Pennsylvania State Library.

Continuing the story which has been broken by the

government reports, it is stated that Herman voluntarily

enlisted in the militia and fought at the battle of Bran-

dywine on that memorable day, Sept. nth, 1777. Being

v^ounded, he together with five hundred others, wastaken to the hospital at Ephrata, Pa. He was cared for

in the Brother House. This house stands today, but onaccount of its dilapidated condition, it was closed several

months ago to all visitors as being unsafe.

The story also goes that while Herman was on his

way from Brandywine to the hospital, he with the other

REEMSNYDER. 11

men stopped at a watering place to give the woundedsoldiers and horses some water. At this place, Mar-garet Anne Musser, then a young girl, waited upon Her-

man. This was the beginning of the love story whichfollowed and finally consummated in marriage. After he

left the hospital he made it his business to hunt up

Margaret and after a brief period of courtship they were

married.

Luther R. Kelker, State Librarian of Pennsylvania,

says that Reemsnyders of the Revolution did not live in

Lancaster County, but in Berks County, according to

the records on file in the State Library. He is quite an

authority and says that there is very poor probability of

Herman ever having been engaged in the battle of Bran-

dywine. John R. Jordan, of the Historical Society of

Pennsylvania, says there is no such thing as proof upon

which we can lay any assurance. He does not believe

Herman fought in the battle of Brandywine nor that he

was ever taken to the Ephrata Hospital. He also says

that Timothy Matlock was never near the Battle of

Brandywine.

Henry Reemsnyder, of Kansas, a grandson of Her-

man, claims that his grandfather was a Colonel in the

Revolutionary War.The situation is simply this : The records for the

year 1777 concerning the army were all destroyed, in-

cluding those of the hospital. The hospitals were poorly

equipped and exceedingly limited in their resources,

causing a high death rate. It is now said officially that a

bed of straw which was putrid from long use and com-

pact with diseases and fever was not changed but served

for one patient after another. General George Wash-ington, at this time, was in desperate straits. He could

12 FAMILY HISTORY.

get no help from the Continental Congress and so was

forced to rely upon his own resources. The army was

exceedingly discouraged and it was difficult to get re-

cruits. Such being the case, Washington used every

precaution that reports concerning the distressful con-

dition of the army should be suppressed. Nevertheless,

Washington had personal reports from all quarters which

were destroyed afterwards. This will probably make it

clear why it is nearly impossible to get absolute proof

concerning Herman's war record.

Further stories told among the relatives give Her-

man credit for building the first church in his commun-ity and also the first substantial house. It is knownthat he followed the work of building houses and he

also engaged in farming.Herman Frederick Riemenschneider was born 1742

(this date is uncertain) and died Aug. 8, 1808. There is

a small stone about ten inches square and about eighteen

inches high placed at the head of his grave. This is a

red sand stone and the inscription on it is so weather-

beaten that it can no longer be read. There has been

much interest in the East to erect a monument to Hermanas a veteran of the Revolutionary War. This movementreceived its impetus from Elias Reemsnyder, son of JohnReemsnyder, but upon his death, the interest has been

slackened for the want of sufficient proof of his really

having been a veteran. We believe, however, that wehave sufficient proof that he really was a Revolutionary

veteran, so let all who are interested and are willing to

help in this laudable undertaking to erect a suitable

monument to his memory, report to the Reemsnyder re-

union in 1909.

In the same cemetery with Herman, her husband, al-

REEMSNYDER. 13

though distantly removed, is the tomb-stone which marks

the burial place of Margaret, The following inscription

is to be found upon it: "Margaret Anne Reemsnyder,

the wife of Frederick Reemsnyder, was born Jan. 19,

1762, and died August 15, 1851. She has nine children,

46 grandchildren, 115 great-grandchildren and one great-

great-grandchild."

It is very difficult to find anything out about the life

of Margaret. However, the Mussers are everywhere

held in high esteem in Lancaster County, Pa. The his-

tory of the County gives many Mussers holding high

rank in the army. Historians, who have looked up that

history, say that the Mussers were among the most high-

ly esteemed people of the times.

Dr. James Reemsnyder, of Hinkletown, Pa., has a

chest :n his possession which is the handi-work of Her-

man. This chest speaks of the work of a master me-

chanic. Luther Reemsnyder, of Canton, Ohio, has a quilt

made by Margaret, of which all Reemsnyders can be

proud.

It appears that Herman retained the original spell-

ing of his name during his military career, but some time

between that and the christening of his first child, it

had undergone a change from Riemenschneider to Reem-

snyder.

REEMSNYDER. 237

In the same cemetery with Herman, her husband, al-

though distantly removed, is the tomb-stone which marks

the burial place of Margaret. The following inscription

is to be found upon it: "Margaret Anne Reemsnyder,

the wife of Frederick Reemsnyder, was born Jan. 19,

1762, and died August 15, 185 1. She has nine children,

46 grandchildren, 115 great-grandchildren and one great-

great-grandchild."

It is very difficult to find anything out about the life

of Margaret. However, the Mussers are everywhere

held in high esteem in Lancaster County, Pa. The his-

tory of the County gives many Mussers holding high

rank in the army. Historians, who have looked up that

history, say that the Mussers were among the most

highly esteemed people of the times.

Dr. James Reemsnyder, of Hinkletown, Pa., has a

chest in his possession which is the handi-work of Her-

man. This chest speaks of the work of a master me-

chanic. Luther Reemsnyder, of Canton, Ohio, has a quilt

made by Margaret, of which all Reemsnyders can be

proud.

It appears that Herman retained the original spell-

ing of his name during his military career, but some time

between that and the christening of his first child, it

had undergone a change from Riemenchneider to Reem-

snyder.

238 FAMILY HISTORY.

FAMILY HISTORIAN.

The Committee has done its work, but the Reem-

snyder history goes on. In order to keep step with time,

and to avoid the serious difficulties which were met with

in this work, it was decided, at the Reunion in 1907, to

elect a family historian, who shall be "eternally at it"

keeping the family records. Mr. C. C. Reemsnyder,

Akron, O., a member of the history committee, was

chosen to fill this important position. It is earnestly

hoped that all corrections and additions to the history

will be reported to him as promptly as possible. Please

keep the historian informed in regard to yourself and

your family, so that he can inform all the rest. He will

make a careful report each year at the Repnion. Those

not present can secure the report by sending a written

request to the historian. In this way we will be able

to keep a better record, of our large and widely scattered

relationship, than was kept by our fathers.

May the Reemsnyder family ever keep its face to-

ward the future, its eyes open to the light of truth, its

ears ready to detect the "still small voice" of duty, and

may its heart beat in sympathy with all men and with

the great heart of God.

THE END.
