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.
-----o----
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.

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.
-----o----
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.
