GEARY (GERY) FAMILY.

The Gery (Geary) family of Eastern Penn- sylvania, claims as its progenitor, Jacob Gery, who was born May 9, 1721, and died Feb. 23, 1808. He came to this country from Switzer- land landing in Philadelphia, Sept. 3, 1739. He was a "Redemptioner" and to pay for his pas- sage across the ocean he served a number of years with Valentine Griesemere, of Hereford township, Berks county. In later years like his Biblical namesake, he married his master's daugh- ter, Gertrude Griesemere, who was born May 15, 1728 and died February, 1802. Jacob Gery pur- chased 600 acres of land located partly in Mont- gomery and partly in Berks county. The origi- nal parchment deeds bearing dates 1725, 1748, and 1762 together with Jacob Gery's passport are in the possession of Jesse B. Gery, of Allen- town. Mr. Gery sold a part of his tract and clearing and upon the remainder erected the nec-

GEHMAN FAMILY.

We know that two centuries ago Gehman families lived in the Palatinate on the Rhine, and that even now citizens of that name live in Germany and Switzerland. The first Geh- mans who came to America were Christian, Ben- edict, and a brother. They landed at Philadel- phia Aug. 11, 1732, coming to this country to obtain civil and religious liberty. They were Mennonites.

Christopher Gehman settled in Hereford township, Berks county, before 1737, and owned 300 acres of land, which tract has since been di- vided into three farms, all owned by descend- ants. In 1759 Christopher Gehman paid a fed- eral tax of ten pounds in Hereford township.

It seems that the Gehman who located in Brecknock township (now in Berks county), was Christian Gehman. His name appears in the tax list of 1759. The same abbreviation ("Christ") was often used for Christian and Christopher; hence there has been some dif- ficulty in determining their identity. The name Gehman, is variously spelled: Geman, Geeman, Geyman, and Gayman.

Christopher ("Christ") Gehman of Hereford township had three sons and several daughters.

Abraham Gehman, the oldest son of Christo- pher Gehman, owned a farm near Telford, Bucks county, occupied later by Rev. Abel Horn- ing.

Rev. Johannes Gehman, second son of Chris- topher, was a Mennonite preacher. In 1767 he bought a tract of land in Hereford from An- drew Maurer. This tract later included the farms of Jacob Greiss, John B. Gehman, Jacob Gehman, and eighty-six acres of Joel M. Geh- man's farm. Rev. Johannes Gehman married Anna Stauffer of Colebrookdale township. She died young. Both are buried in the Old Menno-

nite Cemetery, at Zionsville, Lehigh county. Their children were: David, who for many years was a merchant of Hosensack; Lydia, m. to Samuel Weinberger; Elizabeth, m. to Jacob Stauffer; Heinrich; and Johannes.

Heinrich Gehman, son of Rev. Johannes Geh- man, was born in Hereford township. He was a farmer, owning an eighty-six acre tract on which his father had built a large barn in 1824. Near the present farm-house still stands a very old, small home. Heinrich Gehman married Elizabeth Bechtel. They were Mennonites and are buried in the Upper Milford cemetery of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. Their children were Lydia, m. to Isaac Oberholtzer; John B .; Susan, m. first to Joseph Kriebel, then to Rev. Lewis Taylor; Elizabeth, m. to Rev. Joseph L. Romig; Bevvy, who died small; and Cathar- ine, m. to Abraham Musselman.

John B. Gehman, son of Heinrich, was born on his father's farm, Dec. 18, 1829, and died July 4, 1901. He was a farmer all his life ex- cept six years, during which he and his cousin, Solomon Gehman, conducted Kriebel's Mill in Hereford. He married Mary Oberholtzer in 1861. Their children are: Alvin O., a hard- ware merchant at Coopersburg; Charles J., a plumber of Allentown; Henry A., a carpenter, living in Allentown, m. to Rosa Wendling; Anna, who died in her second year John O., of Pennsburg; Katie, m. to Francis Hoffman, of Reading; and Franklin B., a farmer, living on the old homestead with his aged mother. The father (John B. Gehman) is buried in the Upper Milford Cemetery of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ. About 1870, shortly after he be- came the owner of the old homestead, valuable iron ore was discovered on the farm, and the Gehman mines, with the adjoining Bittenbender mines, near Seisholtzville, were famous for twenty years. Thousands and thousands of tons of good ore were mined, making the owners rich while they slept. For some time the ore of both mines was shipped to Red Lion on an elevated ropeway with trolleys, the filled suspended buck- ets going down the line on one side and the empty buckets coming up the other. This way of shipping was however, not a perfect success. It was discontinued and a railroad built, the ter- minus being near John B. Gehman's home, the stopping place being called Gehman's. After the mining ceased the railroad was not used much and was finally abandoned.

The most prominent of the Gehmans in Le- high county is Rev. William Gehman, living near Vera Cruz. He is the founder of the church of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ (see history of this church). He is very old but still very

well preserved for his age. His wife, Nancy, nee Musselman, died many years ago. They lived almost their whole life time on the farm where Rev. Gehman is still occupying one of the homes. They had a large family: Menno, who was killed a few years ago on a railroad cross- ing near Emaus; Amanda, wife of Rev. George Lambert, of Elkhart, Ind .; Henry, of Allen- town, a local preacher; Sarah, deceased, who was married to Aaron Hassler; Mary, m. to David Taylor; Francis, a farmer; Hannah, m. to Horace Heist; Allen, a farmer ; and William, a preacher and presiding elder in the church of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ.

Another very prominent Gehman is William M. Gehman, who for many years has been a feed, coal, and farm-implement dealer at Centerville, near Macungie. He has been one of the leading lay-members in the old Mennonite church for many years, and also the president of the Geh- man family reunion since its organization. The only son, William, Jr., is a banker, in Philadel- phia; one daughter is married to Rev. Wagner ; another daughter, Elizabeth, was married to Rev. George Walbert, deceased; the youngest daughter is married to a native of Germany, Prof. Augstein, where they have resided for years. She has sung on many of the stages of Europe. The mother of these children was a music teacher and Mrs. Walbert and her daughter pursue this work. A few years ago both Mr. and Mrs. Wm. M. Gehman visited their daughter in Ger- many, and met native Gehman families, both in Germany and Switzerland. Other members of this well-known Lehigh county family have taken trips abroad.

GEHRINGER FAMILY.

Nicholas Gehringer, the pioneer of this family was born in Alsace, June 29, 1729, and was a son of Jost and Abolonia Gehringer, of French de- scent. They were Huguenots.
