1. Joel Baum, born September 05, 1852 in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania; died December 02, 1920 in Venango County, Pennsylvania. He was the son of 2. Levi Baum and 3. Rebecca Maurer. He married (1) Elizabeth Jane Starr Bet. 1870 - 1875. She was born April 03, 1853 in Nineveh, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and died July 03, 1926 in Cranberry, Venango County, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Daniel Starr and Christena Mitchell. He married (2) Goldie Aft. 1889 in North Dakota. She was born in Minnesota, and died Bef. 1900. He married (3) ? Aft. 1890. He married (4) Lulu M.¹ Abt. 1905. She was born Abt. 1881 in Pennsylvania¹, and died Aft. 1910.

Notes for Joel Baum:

Joel is found residing with his parents, Levi and Rebecca in the 1860 and 1870 U.S. Census Records, in Ashland, Clarion County, Pennsylvania.

In 1880, Joel is found residing with his wife, Elizabeth, and four children (David, Tena, Rebecca and Jennie Mae), in Ashland, Clarion County, Pennsylvania.

Joel is listed in the Ashland Township, Clarion County, 1889 Register of resident males subject to military duty. In 1892, Joel was listed in the Clarion County Directory as a farmer with 110 acres.

Joel's granddaughter, Eyla Farringer recalled that after Joel and Eliza were married, they bought a large farm in North Dakota and became quite wealthy. Eliza brought the children back to Pennsylvania (she evidently didn't like North Dakota). Eyla said that Joel supposedly remarried 4 or 5 times, perhaps simultaneously. One of Joel's wives' names was "Goldie". Goldie was killed when the horses ran away with the buggy and threw her to her death.

The 1900 census records Joel residing in North Dakota (Dover Township, Griggs County). He has Tina Baum, age 23 and Harvey L. Baum (listed as a son--by Goldie), age 2 (born November 1897 in North Dakota). He also has 5 servants residing with him. A neighbor of Joel's from Pennsylvania, Mel Fye, recalls Joel telling him stories of his farming days in North Dakota. Mel remembered Joel saying that sometimes the snow was so heavy that he had to tie a rope from the house to the barn door to find his way back in the blizzards.

In 1910, Joel was residing in Dover, Griggs County, North Dakota (p. 19). He stated that he had been married four times. His current wife, Lula/Lulu/Lola M. was residing with him. Two children, Harvey and Lucille E. were residing with them, as well as two hired men and a female servant.

He came back to Pennsylvania years later and bought a nice home near where his children lived (who were not as well off as he). He drilled several oil wells on the property and made quite a lot of money. Eyla remembered Joel having a housekeeper (quite a luxury) and a player piano. She also recalled him dressing very fine, being very handsome and driving a big car. When he came back from the west he always gave his grandchildren each a $5 bill (it seemed like a lot to them then).

The 1920 U.S. Census records Joel residing in Cranberry Township (Venango County, Pennsylvania--p. 24) with son Harvey and granddaughter Eyla Farringer (Eyla is also listed in the 1920 Census as living with her parents, Fred and Jennie Farringer).

Joel is buried in St. Mark's cemetery, reportedly with a very large tombstone, and is some distance from Elizabeth's grave site; Elizabeth shares a tombstone with her daughter, Tena Baum Mays.

"Baum, Joel, Kossuth p. o., Ashland, a farmer, was born in Schuylkill county on September 5, 1853, and was a son of Levi and Rebecca (Mowry) Baum, who settled in Ashland in 1857. They have four children living -- Joel, Milton, Alice D., and Ida. Joel now occupies a part of the farm on which his parents first settled, has cleared the portion which he occupies, and made all the improvements in buildings. His wife was Elizabeth, a daughter of Daniel and Teenie (Whitehill) Starr, of Ashland. Joel has a family of five children -- Daniel C., Teenie L. and Rebecca E. (twins), and Jennie.

Notes for Elizabeth Jane Starr:

The 1900 census records Elizabeth living in Pennsylvania (Ashland Township, Clarion County), separately from Joel in North Dakota. Lula and Clem are residing with Elizabeth (Elizabeth states that she is divorced). Also residing with Elizabeth is a grandson, Lee, born in July, 1898 who was born in Pennsylvania.

In 1910, Elizabeth was residing in Ashland Township, son Clem and grandson Lee were residing with her. (1910 PA Clarion Ashland p. 6)

Elizabeth suffered from diabetes when she was older, and as a result, had a leg amputated.

In the 1920 census, Elizabeth is living in Ashland ( p. 13) with her son, Clem. She states that she is 66 years old and widowed (this census was taken in January and Joel did not die until the following December).

In 1880, Levi is widowed and living with his son Milton in Canal Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. In 1892, Levi Baum was listed as an invalid living in Ashland, Clarion County, Pennsylvania (Clarion County 1892 Directory).

9. Elizabeth Maderia?, born Abt. 1756. She was the daughter of 18. Nicholas Maderia? and 19. ? Wannemacher.

Notes for Johannes Baum:

John was raised in Reading, Berks County. He moved with his father to Cumru Township, Berks County by 1780. Since he was not listed as a single freeman on the 180 tax list, he had probably married by that time. He is listed on acres the 1781, 1784, and 1785 Cumru Township tax lists along with his father. John and his family probably lived with his father and were probably included in the enumeration of Peter's household in 1790. In 1795, when his son Jacob was baptized, John was still living in Cumru Township. John and his family were enumerated in Cumru Township in the 1800 census.

John and his family moved to Upper Mahantongo Township, Berks County probably shortly after 1800 which would become part of the newly created Schuylkill County in 1811. He purchased 268 acres of land from John Klinger, Esq. That tract of land was part of what was known as Spread Eagle Manor. It is now situated west of the present village of Klingerstown in the western portion of Upper Mahantongo Township. In 1807, John and his wife deeded some land to their son Peter. John may have been the 1 male over 45 years of age enumerated with his son Henry's household in the 1820 census.

According to the Baum file, John was a miller by trade and served in the Revolutionary War. He was to have moved to Upper Mahantonga Township in 1803 to a farm named Spread Eagle Manor.

Notes for Daniel Maurer:

Daniel Maurer, son of Henrich Maurer and Maria Katharina Erhardt, was born May 16, 1749 in the village of Grumbach in the German palatinate. He was baptised in the Herren-Sulzbach Evangelische Kirche a few miles away. Daniel came to this country in 1764 on the ship "Prince of Wales" with his sister Anna Elizabeth and her husband Jacob Shankweiler. After arriving in America, Daniel settled in the Alburtis, PA area and married Jacob Wagner's daughter Regina. He attended the Zion (Lehigh) church in Alburtis where records of him appear until 1792. Around that time Daniel and a number of related families moved to the Pitman, PA area, where the family thrived. Many direct descendants still live in the vicinity. Daniel is buried at Howerter's cemetery with his wife and her parents. There is a DAR flag next to the stone to commemorate his Revolutionary War service. The stone is faded and almost illegible. It says: "hier ruhen die gebeine von Daniel Maurer war geboren den 16 Mai 1749 und starb den 16 Mar 1832 in alt werden 82 yahr und 10 mounth ". According to estate papers, the stone cost $27.52 in 1832. (1)

Notes for Johan Peter Baum:

Peter came to America and settled in Pennsylvania with his father by 1731. Peter lived all of his adult life in Berks County, Pennsylvania. He was living in November 1795 when he was mentioned in a deed for land in Berks County.

Peter raised his family in Reading, Berks County. He was living in Reading by about 1752. In 1767, Peter was listed on the Reading Town tax returns. His occupation was listed as turner. He was taxed for 2 houses, 2 lots, 3 horses and 2 cattle. Peter was taxed as a farmer in 1768. By 1780, he was living in Cumru Township, Berks County and was taxed for 163 acres.

21. Anne Henriette Kebler²⁵. She was the daughter of 42. Johan Adam Kobler and 43. Catherina Friederida Kabel.

Notes for Johann Leonhart Drumheller:

"Members of the Drumheller family came to America in the early days of this Commonwealth, the Pennsylvania Archives (Vol XVII, page 447) showing that J. Leonhart Drumheller arrived Oct. 26, 1754, on the Brigatine "Mary and Sarah". That they were for a number of years

settled in Berks county is shown by the Federal Census Report of 1790, which records the names of John and Nicholas Drumheller, of Earl township, that county; John had one son above sixteen, three sons under sixteen and one daughter; Nicholas had one son above sixteen, three sons under sixteen, and three daughters. Rev. C. R. Drumheller, of this stock, served as Lutheran pastor of Vera Cruz Union Church, in Dauphin county, 1883-84.

The name was well represented among the Colonial sympathizers during the Revolutionary war. In the Pennsylvania archives (5th Series Vol. IV) we find (page 318) that George Drumheller belonged to the Continental Line, serving as a private in the Northampton county militia during that war, and that George Drumheller later was a Revolutionary soldier from Northampton county (page 649); that Jacob Drumheller was a soldier in the Continental Line from Berks county (page 212); and that Jacob Drumheller was a private in Capt. John Reese's company (which formed a part of the 2d Pennsylvania Battalion), commissioned from Jan. 5, 1776, to Nov. 25, 1776.

27. Louisa Huber²⁷, born March 01, 1735/36 in Pennsylvania²⁷; died July 01, 1827²⁷. She was the daughter of 54. Henry Huber.

Notes for Hans Jacob Wagner:

Jacob & Louisa settled in Lehigh Co., Macungie Twp. He was naturalized there March 1764. Moved to Mahantongo around 1800. Lived in both Schuylkill and Northumberland Counties. One of the founders of Howerter's Church, Mahantongo and served in Revolutionary War. Our ancestor of Macungie and Mahantonga. Buried near Regina Wagner.

Jacob Wagner Jr. was the son of Jacob Wagner (b. ca. 1693, d. 1754) and Anna Maria Jung. He arrived in America on September 20, 1738 with his parents aboard the ship "Friendship" . Jacob was married to Louisa Huber. He was born in Nottingen, Germany. He is mentioned in all the Lehigh County histories with his father, as a pioneer settler of Macungie Township, and a founding member of the Lehigh Zion Church in 1745/1750, which he served in the responsible position of elder. He was naturalized in Lehigh County in March 1764. He seems to have been a community leader, both in Lehigh County and in Mahantongo. He served in the War of the Revolution, along with his 3 sons-in-laws.. In 1776 he served as a private in Capt. John Arndt's Company of Associators and Militia in Northampton Co. Our ancestor was the patriarch of the overland migration of our Lehigh County families who made new homes in the Mahantongo wilderness after the Revolution. He and his oldest son-in-law Daniel Maurer bought land together in Mahantongo in 1793, and the Heplers and others followed. Shortly after 1800 Jacob Wagner was one of the founders of the St. Jacob's or Howerter's Union Lutheran and Reformed Church to which most of our Mahantongo ancestors belonged. Jacob and Louisa are buried in Howerter's Cemetery, in Upper Mahantongo Twp., Northumberland County. His is the oldest grave (1802) marked in the cemetery. The Schuylkill and Northumberland County line runs through the cemetery, part in Northumberland and part in Schuylkill. The Wagners lived in Schuylkill and Northumberland Counties and their records are found in both counties. Jacob and Louisa had 10 children, all of whom were born in Lehigh County. Jacob pre-deceased his mother, not named in her will. It appears that the Wagners daughters, with their husbands moved to Schuylkill County with their parents. All the girls married men from the same general area of Lehigh County. Two never married. The three girls that did marry all had husbands who also served in the Revolutionary War. Thus this unusual family, you find Jacob Wagner Jr. and all his sons-in-law, all buried in Howerter's Cemetery . All four of them patriots of the Revolution.

The inscription on his tombstone reads "Jacob Wagner war geboren d. 6. Juli 1725 u. starb d. 30. Novbr 1802 alt 77 Jahr 4.m. 24 T."

(Jacob Wagner was born the 6th of July 1725 and died the 30th of November 1802, at the age of 77 years, 4 months, and 24 days.)

It is the oldest gravestone in the cemetery.

33. Anna Margareth Blimbott²⁹, born 1695; died 1761 in Berks, Pennsylvania²⁹.

Notes for Johan Theobald Baum:

It is not known when Theobald immigrated to Pennsylvania. The first record of him is found in a letter of reference dated 27 January 1731. Theobald's name appears on a Warrant for 250 acres of land in Philadelphia County in 1734. This land became part of Berks County when it was formed in 1752. Theobald's name, written as Dewalt Boom, is listed among the First Berks County Taxables from about 1752 in Alsace Township.

Theobald was naturalized in Philadelphia on 10 and 11 April 1741. He took the Sacrament on 4 February 1740 and his name was written Theowald Bawm, Philadelphia County.

The names of Dewald Baum and Jacob Spengler head the list of signatories on a petition responsible for the formation of Alsace Township. The petition was presented to the Philadelphia County Quarter Session Court on 2 December 1744. Those who signed the petition "represented that a sufficient quantity of land had been settled, that the inconvenience under which they had labored entitled them to erect a separate township, and that since the first settlers had come from a place called Elsas, in Germany, they desired that the new township should be called by that name. The petition was granted on 3 March 1745.

The first church in the neighborhood was built in 1737 on land donated by the Spangler and Baum families. Built of logs by the exiled Alsatian Protestants who settled there, the services were conducted in both French and German. It was a union of Lutheran and Reformed churches and because of the poverty prevailing in the congregation and the scarcity of regular pastors, wandering preachers were employed to conduct the services. In the church graveyard was found the grave of Theobald Baum. The following is the recorded inscription:

Here rests the body of a wise, peace loving Member,

his name

JOHAN THEOBALD BAUM

He was born May 15, 1693

He slept in peace August 27, 1762

Theobald's will was recorded at Reading, Berks County. Signed on 25 August 1761, the will was probated on 9 October 1762. He signed it by his mark which was probably due to illness or age since in other documents bearing his name the German signature is very plain handwriting.

Notes for Heinrich Trumpfheller:

Shortly after the close of the Thirty Year War, Heinrich came as a young man to the Odenwald, the village of Wurtzberg. The village had almost been extinct--only a few homes were inhabited. Heinrich had married Catharina, a woman who was alone, whose husband was missing in the war and considered to be dead. In 1656, a daughter, Anna Maria, was born. Shortly thereafter, the missing husband returned, after eleven years. The marriage of Heinrich Trumpfheller and Catharina was dissolved by divorce.

About the year 1680, Heinrich was made the Ingelheim Mayor of Wurtzberg. He was the official Erbach moneychanger a few years prior. At that time, the village of Wurtzberg was divided. The land rights of the upper four Huben (a unit area) belonged to Erbach; the larger part of the village was owned by the Lords of Echter at Mespelbrunn. It was not until 1817 that Grave Franz bought the Ingelheim part of Wurzberg for 17,000 Gulden. Until this time Wurtzberg had an Erbach and an Ingelheim mayor. (1)
