Text: The Shobe ÓFamily
in America
In 1925 a book was published by Faust & Brumbaugh entitled "Lists of
Swiss Emigrants in the eighteenth Century to the American Colonies"
and on page ll0 of Volume II appears the following story:
"A considerable time before the beginning of the year 1737 some
eighteen subjects from Biel-Benken, Arisdorf and other places had come
to Basel, (Switzerland) and expressed their desire to go to Carolina
(America) but the mayor had denied them the Chancery order to their
Obervögte and the Council had up-held his action. Still earlier the
Council had learned of some 'plotting' at the house of the 'Lehnsman'
fief holder or sub-tenant Lienert Heyer on the Rütihard, and ordered
the Obervögte (Magistrate) to look into the matter. The result of his
report of Sept. 4, 1736 was in substance as follows:-
"Lienert Heyer's brother and Antoni Rieger of Benken and Jacob
Küntzlin, a carpenter, and Hans Kapp, a wagon maker, of Münchenstein
had discussed emigration to Pennsylvania. They had been actuated to do
so partly by the letter of Antonio Gondy in praise of Carolina,
written in Charleston, S. C., in 1733, but only lately come into their
possession through a man of Grenzback across the Rhine, and partly by
their own unfavorable circumstances. The carpenter and the wagon-maker
had complained of the growing competition in their trades and all of
them had arrived at the conviction that their heavy debts and the five
percent interest they had to pay in consequence of a certain mandate,
combined with the tithes of grain and wine made it impossible for them
to sustain themselves here any longer.
While Jacob Küntzlin and Hans Kapp gave up the thought of emigration
for the present and did not go for three years later, Lienert Heyer
and Antoni Rieger actively pushed their preparations and succeeded in
obtaining the consent of the government. They claimed to have friends
in the vicinity of Manheim in the Palatinate and, if they did not find
their fortunes there, they would seek it in another country. The
following table of their families and their property is based on FAF
and supplemented from AA and KB.
Benken
FAF Saturday, May ll, 1737
Rudolph J Lützler, of Benken, (60 years of age)
Lienert Heyer, his son-in-law from there, (41 years of age) and
Clara Lützler, his wife, (32 years of age) who intend to go to the
Palatinate.
Children of Lienert and Clara:-
l. Anna Barbara, " baptized Feb. 22, 1724
2. Elizabeth, " Jun. 17. 1725
3. Leonhard, " - Dec. 25, 1727
4. Hans Rudolph
5. Hans Ulrich, baptized July 29, 1731
6. Clara 2 1/2 years old
Anthoni Rieger, of Benken, (47 years of age)
Barbara Würtzin, (from Wittinsburg) his wife (also aged 47) and
Elsbeth Scholerin, (from Zunzgen), her mother, (72 years of age),
who also intend to go to the Palatinate.
Children of Anthoni Rieger by Juditha Schaub, his first wife:
1. Anthoni. 2. Burkhard. 3. Barbara---and by his present wife:---
Maria and Hans Jacob.
The children of Jacob Schaub, deceased, and Barbara Würtz,
of Wittinsburg: .....
1. Jacob shoemaker, baptized -Sept. 9, 1714
2. Anna, Baptized - Jan. 31, 1719
3. Martin, " -July 27, 1721
Tax on their Lb.130 worth of property-~Lb. 13......
Another daughter by the name of Elizabeth, baptized Dec. 20, 1716 did
not emigrate, for according to KB of Rümlingen, she came to Waldenburg
in 1743, though her family in America longed for her very much.
The further experiences of the two families are known thru a letter by
Lienert Heyer written two years after his emigration and an entry in
R.P. 129 Aug. 7, 1756. Lienert Heyer lost his youngest child, Clara,
by the small-pox in England and the next youngest, Hans Ulrich, in
America, but had another son, Antoni. In 1739 he and Antoni Rieger
were living in "Dolben Hagen", Pa. (Probably Tulpehochen, Pa.). in
1756 the Junt Brothers attest his presence in Virginia and report his
willingness to renounce his claims to an inheritance in favor of his
son-in-law who had stayed in Switzerland.

The next chapter of this story of migration can be found in the
"Collection of 30,000 names of Immigrants in Pennsylvania. 1727-1776."
by Rupp, at page 107. (Newbury Library, Chicago, Illinois. #E
6968.76).
Arriving at Philadelphia, Sept. 24, 1737. In the Ship the Virtuous
Grace. Capt. John Bull, from Rotterdam, by way of Cowes, England.225
passengers. Among the names of those who landed are:-Antoni Rüger,
son; Antoni Rüger, Jr.; Burckhart Rüger; Jacob Schaub; Leonhart Heier;
Rudolph Lützler; Jacob Stokee and Simon Stokee.
The above named passengers all signed the Oath of Allegiance then
required of all immigrants over 16 years of age who were not already
subjects of the British Crown, but women and children were not
required to sign. Martin Schaub, who had passed his sixteenth birthday
during the voyage, was apparently not required to sign because of his
youth.
Within twenty weeks of the time they had left Basel, these families
had reached Philadelphia, which indicates that they had made a fairly
expeditious trip for the time and conditions. Even at best, however,
the journey from Switzerland to America was slow and tedious. First
there was the long trip down the Rhine by river boat to Rotterdam.
Then at Rotterdam there was necessary delay while a ship could be
found and passage arranged. Part of the transportation charges must be
paid and provisions and supplies bought for the voyage; for the
travelers had to furnish their own food and drink for the time they
would be at sea.
Nearly all of the ships sailing from Rotterdam for America made a stop
at some port on the south coast of England - Dover, Deal, Cowes,
Plymouth or Falmouth-where repairs or replenishment of supplies went
on, sometimes for a few days, sometimes for several weeks. Often there
was a wait for favorable winds before the ship would venture out of
the English Channel into the open sea. Cowes seems to have been the
most usual port of call for these ships from Rotterdam, and it was at
Cowes that the Virtuous Grace made her last stop before crossing the
ocean. It was doubtless at Cowes that Leonhart Heier's youngest child,
Clara, died of small-pox.
In the death of this little child on the journey may lie the key to
the repeated use in succeeding generations of the Hyer family of the
name Clara, modified to Clore, in the dialect used in America by these
German speaking Swiss families. Likewise, the name Elizabeth in the
Shobe family may stem from the "great longing" of the Young Shobe's
for their sister Elizabeth who remained in Switzerland.

Martin passed his sixteenth birthday on the trip to America but wasnot require
d to sign oath of allegiance.

Moved to the South Branch valley of the Potomac River in Virginia,with his brother sometime after 1750. In 1761 he moved to AugustaCounty.



Martin Schaub (© The Record of The Shobe Family In America From 1737to 1954 Revised Edition by Frank D. Shobe)

Martin Schaub was born in Switzerland in 1721 (baptized July 27,1721).He came to America on the Ship Virtuous Grace from Cowes, England,docking at Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 24, 1737. With him on the ship werehis brother Jacob, his sister Anna, his mother and step-father, hismaternal grandmother Elsbeth Schoeler, and his five half-brothers andhalf-sisters. At this time the grandmother was seventy-two years ofage, having been born in 1665, end she is, therefore, the oldest knownancestor of which we have any record.

Martin passed his sixteenth birthday on the way over but was notrequired to sign the Oath of Allegiance. He lived for a time in BerksCounty, Pa. and married Elizabeth Heyer who had crossed the ocean withher family, in the same ship on which he had come. Her maternalgrandfather, Rudolph Lützler, aged sixty, was also on the ship. He wasborn about 1677 and thus is the oldest ancestor of the Heyer branch ofwhom we have any record.

Martin apparently moved to the South Branch valley of the PotomacRiver-er in Virginia, with his brother, sometime after 1750. In 1761he was in Augusta County where the records show that he purchased someof the effects of Daniel Smith, deceased, at the latter's vendue. Hiswill, dated May 16, 1792 is found there. It was probated in 1797 and,by it, he devised land to his wife Elizabeth, son Jacob, son Rudolph,son Leonard and daughter, Madeline, who married Conrad Carr. (SeeAugusta County, Virginia Chronicles, by Lyman Chackley, Vol. Il, pp.92,281 and 361; Vol. III, p. 65.)

Martin's son Jacob had died in 1791, so why his name was included inthe father's will has not been explained. In 1797 Madeline and herhusband, Conrad Carr, filed suit against the other children, Martin,Rudolph and Leonard Shobe, in Hardy County, Virginia, (now WestVirginia) in same dispute or proceedings concerning the partitioningof the estate.

An Old Homestead

On the premises of George Harman, two miles south-west of Petersburg,in Grant County, (W. Va.) stands an antique log house, formerly theresidence of Martin Shobe Sr. deceased. The day it was being raisedthe workmen were visited by a war party of eighty Catawby Indians;painted, feathers and fully equipt for their bloody work. They chattedfriendly with the whites, and passed peaceably on going north to fightthe Delawares.

This was presumably before the French and Indian Wars, or prior toBraddock's defeat in 1755, which honors the old hut with a century anda half.

Note:- The above was written about 1905 by the father of ClarenceTaylor, who married Sally Newton Shobe (see p. 79). Mr. Whitzell ofPetersburg pointed it out to the author in 1953 making it now over 200years old. It is located on the Map on page 8, at the turn of the roadwhere the home of Henry Shobe is marked. From the contents of theabove story it is apparent that this is the spot where Martin Shobelocated when he moved into the valley of the South Branch of thePotomac.

Another daughter by the name of Elizabeth, baptized Dec. 20, 1716 did
not emigrate, for according to KB of Rümlingen, she came to Waldenburg
in 1743, though her family in America longed for her very much.
The further experiences of the two families are known thru a letter by
Lienert Heyer written two years after his emigration and an entry in
R.P. 129 Aug. 7, 1756. Lienert Heyer lost his youngest child, Clara,
by the small-pox in England and the next youngest, Hans Ulrich, in
America, but had another son, Antoni. In 1739 he and Antoni Rieger
were living in "Dolben Hagen", Pa. (Probably Tulpehochen, Pa.). in
1756 the Junt Brothers attest his presence in Virginia and report his
willingness to renounce his claims to an inheritance in favor of his
son-in-law who had stayed in Switzerland.

The next chapter of this story of migration can be found in the
"Collection of 30,000 names of Immigrants in Pennsylvania. 1727-1776."
by Rupp, at page 107. (Newbury Library, Chicago, Illinois. #E
6968.76).
Arriving at Philadelphia, Sept. 24, 1737. In the Ship the Virtuous
Grace. Capt. John Bull, from Rotterdam, by way of Cowes, England.225
passengers. Among the names of those who landed are:-Antoni Rüger,
son; Antoni Rüger, Jr.; Burckhart Rüger; Jacob Schaub; Leonhart Heier;
Rudolph Lützler; Jacob Stokee and Simon Stokee.
The above named passengers all signed the Oath of Allegiance then
required of all immigrants over 16 years of age who were not already
subjects of the British Crown, but women and children were not
required to sign. Martin Schaub, who had passed his sixteenth birthday
during the voyage, was apparently not required to sign because of his
youth.
Within twenty weeks of the time they had left Basel, these families
had reached Philadelphia, which indicates that they had made a fairly
expeditious trip for the time and conditions. Even at best, however,
the journey from Switzerland to America was slow and tedious. First
there was the long trip down the Rhine by river boat to Rotterdam.
Then at Rotterdam there was necessary delay while a ship could be
found and passage arranged. Part of the transportation charges must be
paid and provisions and supplies bought for the voyage; for the
travelers had to furnish their own food and drink for the time they
would be at sea.
Nearly all of the ships sailing from Rotterdam for America made a stop
at some port on the south coast of England - Dover, Deal, Cowes,
Plymouth or Falmouth-where repairs or replenishment of supplies went
on, sometimes for a few days, sometimes for several weeks. Often there
was a wait for favorable winds before the ship would venture out of
the English Channel into the open sea. Cowes seems to have been the
most usual port of call for these ships from Rotterdam, and it was at
Cowes that the Virtuous Grace made her last stop before crossing the
ocean. It was doubtless at Cowes that Leonhart Heier's youngest child,
Clara, died of small-pox.
In the death of this little child on the journey may lie the key to
the repeated use in succeeding generations of the Hyer family of the
name Clara, modified to Clore, in the dialect used in America by these
German speaking Swiss families. Likewise, the name Elizabeth in the
Shobe family may stem from the "great longing" of the Young Shobe's
for their sister Elizabeth who remained in Switzerland.

Note: 106

JAC0B SH0BE and NANCY GILMORE

He was the son of Leonard Shobe and grandson of Martin Shobe andElizabeth (Hire) Shobe. Leonard Shobe was a private in Capt. JohnHarness' company of Rangers, and also served as a private in a companyunder command of Ensign Stephen Ashby. The name is spelled Jobe andJob in the payroll list, but there is no question but that it wasLeonard who gave the service. In the same company of Capt. Harness wasLeonard's brother-in-law Conrad Carr, who had married his sisterMagdaline... (See pg 7.)

Being often questioned by our correspondents concerning the warrecords of the early ancestor, apparently with the thought ofpetitioning the
D. A.R. for membership in that organization we recently wrote theRegistrar General of that organization at Washington, if any hadJoined the Society with the record of Leonard Shobe as a base,intending to give that information as a help for future applicants,but we received a reply stating that, so far, no one has Joined thatorganization on the record of Leonard Shobe. However, we believe thatsuch an application might be favorably acted upon.

Jacob was married in 1815 to Nancy Gilmore and they were the parentsof three children, Francis who married Eli W. Baker; Solomon, whomarried Hannah Barger and Nimrod, who married Phoebe Barger. They allremained in Grant County, W. Va. and are all buried in the cemetery onthe top of the hill north of Petersburg.

Jacob died in 1831 and left a will naming his daughter,"Francis andother children". A peculiar fact is that the records of Grant Countyalso record that his father, Leonard also left a will filed in 1831.In those days the Judge rode from one county to another to hold courtand all papers filed after he left had to await his next term of courtto be acted upon, so the fact that both wills were filed in 1831 doesnot necessarily mean that the father and son died at the same time. Wehad been intrigued with the nearness of the dates and have tried touncover the facts but have not been able to learn anything more aboutit.

All three of Jacob's children remained in the Valley of the SouthBranch of the Potomac and raised their children there. Both Solomonand Nimrod owned farms in the rich, fertile bottomland across theriver from Petersburg, and Solomon's children still occupy his land,which is marked on the map on Page 91 as "Bob Shobe". Robert's motherdied while several of the children were quite young and their oldestsister, Eola, volunteered to stay home and mother the family. In lateryears Elizabeth remained at home to help her.

Nimrod purchased business property on the main street of Petersburg,and at one time owned all of the frontage on the east side of the mainstreet from the creek to the cross street on the north. Oddly, thethree children of Jacob and Nancy lived to almost the same age,Francis being 72, Solomon 70 and Nimrod almost 72.
