Andrew Stewart was a Covenanter of the most rigid faith, and the earliest Presbyte- rian minister in America, the Rev. John Cuthbertson, frequently tarried at his house while on his missionary tours. In his diary, under date of 20th of August, 1751, he notes

HISTORICAL REVIEW
the baptism of Eliza (Elizabeth), daughter of Andrew Stewart. On the organization of the Covenanter church at Paxtang, Mr. Stewart and his wife became members. But little is known of this hardy pioneer, save that in his day and generation he was ever loyal to the " Solemn League and Covenant."
Of the family of Andrew Stewart, his eldest son John, born in Paxtang, on the 24th of February, 1740, was educated for the ministry. While in England he was or- dained in the Established Church, returned to Pennsylvania, where he was received with aught but favor by his strict old Covenanter father. He went as a missionary among the Indians in the Mohawk Valley, and made a translation of the New Testament in the Mo- hawk language. Refusing allegiance to the Colonies, in 1781 he went to Canada, where he became chaplain to a provineial regiment, and subsequently as a missionary traveled through the upper province of Canada, where he labored with energy and success. In 1786 he settled at Kingston, and for some time previous to his death was chaplain to the Legislative Council. Hedied on the 15th of August, 1811.
Of the children of the Rev. John Stewart, or Stuart, as our Canadian friends prefer to write it, we have been able to glean the fol- lowing data, hoping, however, that some member of the Literary and Historical So- eiety of Quebec will furnish us with fuller, if not more accurate information. James Stewart, the eldest son, was born at Fort Hunter, N. Y., March 2, 1780, became an eminent Canadian jurist and chief justice of Lower Canada. He was called to the bar in 1801; appointed solicitor general, 1805-9; attorney general, 1822-32; chief justice, 1838-53. He was created a baronet in 1840, and died at Quebec July 14, 1853. His son, Sir Charles Stuart, now resides in England during the summer season, and in Italy during the winter.
The second son, Andrew, was also a distin- guished jurist and solicitor general of Lower Canada-decidedly one of the most talented men of Canada-many years president of the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec; was born at Kingston, U. C., in 1786, and died at Quebec, February 21, 1840. He was the author of a number of valuable historical works. A son of Andrew Stuart is at present a judge-a gentleman of ability and ardent mind.
George O'Kill Stuart, another son, became
an arch deacon. He married a daughter of Gen. John Brooks, a soldier of the Revolution and governor of Massachusetts from 1816 to 1823. His son, of the same name, is judge of the Vice Admirality Court at Quebec.
John Stewart, sheriff of Leeds and Green- ville, who resided at Brockville, on the British side of the St. Lawrence, was also a son of the Rev. John first named.
We have given the foregoing to show the connection between the Stewarts of Paxtang and those of Canada.
The other children of Andrew Stewart, the pioneer, were James, Mary, Elizabeth, previously named, who died May 1, 1773, aged twenty-three years; Charles, Andrew and Eleanor. Of none of these do we know the history save that of Elcanor, the others probably removing from this locality after the death of their father and mother. Eleanor married Richard De Yarmond, second son of James and Mary De Yarmond. She was born May 4, 1753, and died February 19, 1830. Her husband, born in Hanover, Sep- tember 1, 1743, died November 17, 1802. They are both interred in the old Hanover church graveyard. Their children were : James, born October 2, 1782, died January 7, 1812; Mary, born in 1784, who married James MeCreight, Jr .; Eleanor, born in 1788; Andrew Stewart, born in 1791, and Marga- ret, born March 1, 1793; died May 6, 1824.
THE STEWARTS OF .HANOVER.
I. LAZARUS STEWART, a native of the north of Ireland, came to America in 1729, the same year locating on a traet of land " situ- ate on Swahatawro ereek," in then Lancas- ter county. This traet of three hundred aeres was directed to be surveyed for him by the Proprietaries on the 6th of March, 1739. With the aid of two Redemptioners, whose passages were paid by him, he built within that and the two years following a house and barn, cleared twenty odd acres of arable land and planted an orchard. He died about 1744. His farm was a long time in dispute, owing to the fact that the warrant never having been issued his son Lazarus took out a warrant for the same land. After the death of the first Lazarus' wife a suit was brought by William Stewart, eldest son of John Stewart, for the recovery of his share in his grandfather's estate. A distribution was made in 1785, from the record of which

-THE UMHOLTZ FAMILY.
We are not entirely satisfied as to the orthography of this surname. Many of the old records have it Imholtz, some Omholtz, and others Umholtz. We are of the opinion that the former is the correct orthography. As the present members of the family adhere to the latter it is this nomenclature we shall also employ.
HENRY UMHOLTZ, with a younger brother, eame to this country from Switzerland prior to the Revolution and located in what is now Lykens township, Dauphin county, along the base of Short mountain, about two miles from Gratztown, where John Umholtz now resides. Here they took up quite a large tract of land and commenced farming. The brother entered the army at the outset of the war of the Revolution, in Capt. Will- iam Hendrick's company, and fell in the as- sault on Quebec. Henry was also in service during the war, as appears by the rolls of Captains' IIoffman's and Weaver's com- panies.
Henry Umholtz married about 1769 his first wife, who was a Miss Rouch. Sometime after her death he married Magdalena Sei- densticker, daughter of Philip Seidensticker, of Bethel township, now Lebanon county. Mr. Umholtz died at an advanced age, and with his two wives are buried at IToffman's church. His children were as follows :
i. John, b. August 11, 1770; was a farmer and resided near Berrysburg. He married Catharine Harman and had a large family. Of these John- Jacob was a major in the Pennsyl- vania militia, and father of Joseph and Jacob now living near Gratz.
The latter served as director of the poor a few years ago.
ii. Barnhart, b. October 22, 1772; d. Au- gust, 1829; was a farmer and resided above Gratztown. Ile married Catharine Rissinger, and had Mi- chael, Solomon, who resides on or near his father's place, Philip, Susan, m. Jacob Walborn, Anna- Margaret, m. George Holloback, Catharine, m. Michael Fisher, and Esther, m. Daniel Emanuel.
iii. Michael, b. August 31, 1776; removed to what is now Perry county, where he married and raised a family.
iv. John-Philip, b. September 14, 1779. He purchased his father's farm. fol- lowed farming and died April, 183S. He married Anna Maria Willard, daughter of Peter Willard, and had Matthias, who settled in Stark county, O .; John, m. Mollie Shoff- stall, resided on the old homestead ; Samuel, resided near Gratz; Chris- tian, removed to Mercer county, Pa .; Susan, m. Daniel Loudenslager ; Catharine, m. Isaac Henninger, of Stark county, O., and Elizabeth, m. John P. Hoffman.
v. Henry, b. September 17, 1783; d. De- eember, 1829; was a soldier of the war of 1812, followed farming and owned a farin near Isaac Zitlinger's. He married Susan Hoover, daugh- ter of Jacob Hoover, of Hoover's Mill. They had Rebecca, m. Benja- min Gise, father of Capt. Joseph D., Leah, m. George W. Ferree, Polly, m. John Henninger, and Henry, Jr., who for many years was a distin- guished teacher in the "Upper End."
vi. Anna-Maria, b. July 12, 1781; m. Peter Yartz.
The family of Umholtz have all been sub- stantial and representative farmers of the valley.
THE WEISE FAMILY OF LYKENS VALLEY.
ADAM WEISE was born in New Goshen- hoppen, Philadelphia county, Pa., Decem- ber 23, 1751. Ilis parents were John George and Eve Weise. They moved from New Goshenhoppen to Heidelberg township, Berks county, Pa., where Adam was brought

up in a Christian-like manner in the faith and doctrine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
The subject of this sketch was married on the 2d of February, A. D. 1772, to Margaret Elizabeth Wingard, who was born in Heidel- berg township, Berks county, on the 15th of March A. D. 1749. Her parents were Lazarus and Catharine Elizabeth Wingard. She be- longed to the Evangelical Presbyterian (Ger- man Reformed) Church. By this marriage there were the following children : $
i. Catharine-Elizabeth, b. November 21, 1772, in Heidelberg township, Berks county; m. George Gun- drum, April 7, 1795, by Rev. Will- iam Hendel.
ii. Ann-Elizabeth, b. April 28, 1774, in Hagerstown, Md. (the family hav- ing removed to that place the pre- vious year); m. Philip Shaffer, April 5, 1795. He died March 23, 1814, in Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county.
iii. John, b. August 13, 1776, in Hagers- town ; m. Elizabeth Bordner, daughter of Michael Bordner, of Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin connty, on June 7, 1801.
iv. Anna-Mary, b. June 28, 1778, in Hagerstown; m. Michael Shadel November 7, 1797, in Upper Pax- tang township, Dauphin county.
v. John-Adam, b. January 24, 1780, in Hagerstown ; m. Eve Bordner, of Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county, in the year 1801. His wife died the first year of their marriage, and he was married the second time, to Elizabeth Lebo.
Adam Weise served as a sergeant in the Maryland cavalry in the Revolutionary war, enlisting at Hagerstown. He moved with his family from Hagerstown to Upper Pax- tang township, in Lykens Valley, Dauphin county, Pa., in . the ycar 1782. [He settled at this time on the north or south side of Wiconisco creek, on the road (as now known) leading from Cross-Roads to Berrysburg, formerly Hellerstown. According to the best information obtainable, he settled on the north of said creek, on what is generally known as the Elder farm, and very likely he owned the land on both sides of the creek, for he owned three hundred acres or over. When I (his youngest son) was ten or twelve years old, in passing along on that road in
company with old mnen of the valley, I was shown the place where they said my father's blacksmith shop had stood, which was a little back in the field from the road, south- west from the old residence, which is still standing, but has been remodeled and re- paired at different times. I was also shown where he had his coal-pit or hearth, which was about a hundred yards slightly north- west from where the shop stood, in the woods. Blacksmiths used nothing but charcoal in those days, and most of them burnt or charred their own coal. It should be remembered, also, that nearly all of what is now Wash- ington and Mifflin townships to the Susque- hanna river was included in Upper Paxtang township.]
vi. John-George, b. January 7, 1786, in Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county ; m. Charlotte Moore, 180S.
The Indians were very troublesome. and from this and other causes the family re- moved to Bethel township, Berks county, Pa., 178S.
vii. Anna-Margaret, b. February 14, 1789, in Bethel township, Berks county ; In. Michael Shoop, November 6, 1808, in Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county.
viii. Anna-Maria, b. July 21, 1791, in Bethel township, Berks county ; m. Abraham Jury, 1811, in Upper Paxtang township, Dauphin county.
Mr. Weise moved back to Lykens Valley to the old place in the year 1796, and in 1802 took up his residence in Millersburg, ereeting the third house in the town and a blacksmith shop, on the southwest corner of Union and Race streets (now owned by Levi Bowman, Sr.). His anvil was the town clock in the morning for a number of years, so the old people of Millersburg used to say. Hc was commissioned a justice of the peace by Governor Mifflin February 1, 1799. Re- mained in office over thirty-four years, or until his death in 1833.
His wife died on Sunday, March 29, 1818, and was buried on the following Tuesday, in the David's (German Reformed) grave- yard, about three miles northeast of Millers- burg. The funeral attendance was execed- ingly large, and Revs. J. R. Reily and Nich- olas Ilemping were present. A very appro- priate sermon was preached by Rev. J. R. Reily, from Psalms iv. S. She reached the age of 69 years and 14 days. They lived

together in matrimony 46 years, 1 month and 26 days.
Adam Weise entered into matrimony the second time August 23, 1818, with Mary Kuelily (Keely), widow of George Kuchly, of Swinefordstown, Union county, Pa. (now Middleburg, Snyder county). Her parents were Jacob and Mary Bitterman, from Mont- gomery county, Pa. She was born March 20, 1765, in Montgomery county.
On Sunday evening, September 10, 1820, his second wife died, and was buried the fol- lowing Tuesday in the German Reformed burial ground, alongside his former partner. Her age was 55 years, 5 months and 15 days. Rev. Isaac Gearhcart preached on the occa- sion, from the words recorded in Isaiah xxxviii. 1.
Mr. Weise entered into matrimony the third time December 10, 1820, with Catha- rine Patton, widow of James Patton, of Swinefordstown, Union county, Pa. (now Middleburg, Snyder county). Her maiden name was Catharine Neiman. She was born November 10, 1785, in Montgomery county, Pa. Her parents were Conrad and Catharine Nciman. This union was blessed with the following issue:
ix. Abel, b. October 3, 1821, in Millers- burg, Dauphin county, Pa. He is still living, a resident of Lykens.
x. Hannah, b. February 13, 1823.
xi. Frederick-Neiman, b. August 25, 1825, in Millersburg.
Adam Weise died October 5, 1833, in Millersburg, after a long and useful. life, and was buried by the side of his two de- ceased wives in the graveyard of David's Re- formed church, Upper Paxtang township. Rev. Isaac Gearheart officiated at the funeral. His age was 81 ycars, 9 months and 12 days.
Catharine Weise, surviving relict of Adam Weise, died in Berrysburg, Dauphin county, April 30, 1863, aged 77 years, 5 months and 20 days. She was buried in the ceme- tery of the Evangelical Lutheran and Ger- man Reformed church at Berrysburg. Fu- ncral services were held by Revs. Bosler and I. Gearheart.
At the death of Adam Weise there were 11 children, 63 grandchildren and 133 great- grandchildren. The descendants of the above record (which is made from a correct trans- lation of the original German by Rev. Mi- chacl Lenker) are now scattered in nearly every State of the Union, especially in the West. F. N. W.
-THE FAMILY OF WIGGINS.
I. JOHN WIGGINS, son of James and Jcan Wiggins, was born about 1680 in the north of Ireland. He came to America about 1738, locating in Paxtang. His name ap- pears on the first assessment list of the North End of Paxtang for 1749. He died in Feb- ruary, 1762, his will being probated the month following. He left a wife Mary (probably a Barnett) and children as fol- lows :
i. James, b. 1706. ii. Jcan, b. 1708. iii. Martha, b. 1710. iv Margaret, b. 1712.
2. v. John, b. 1714; m. Elizabeth
vi. Agnes, b. 1716; m. Thomas Maguire and had a daughter Sarah.
At this time it seems as if his youngest children, John and Agnes, with his wife, were the only members of his family in America, for in the disposition of his estate he dircets that the other children were to have their share "if they come to this country." It is probable they came, and afterwards went with the tide of Scotch-Irish immigration southward, as the name appears in Virginia and the Carolinas.
II. JOHN WIGGINS (John, James), born in Ireland, in 1714; came to America with his parents, and remained on the parental farm. He d. June 12, 1794. He m. Elizabeth -, b. in 1716 ; d. June 5, 1784. They are both interred in Paxtang graveyard. Their children were :
i. Thomas, b. 1746; d. August, 1798. He studied medicine, and served in the war of the Revolution. Was surgcon of the New Eleventh, Penn- sylvania Linc, Col. Thomas Hart- ley, commissioned July 1, 1778. Owing to ill health, duc to the pre- vious exposure in the service, he resigned January 23, 1780.
ii. John, b. 1748 ; d. October 21, 1830, in Northumberland county. It is said that when a young man he was attacked by a panther on his way home from Paxtang church, and killed the animal with his fists, although he bore the marks of its claws all his life.
iii. Elizabeth, b. 1750.
iv. James, b. 1782 ; d. June, 1805, unm., bequeathing his estate to his sur- viving brother and sisters.
