HARRISON SAUL.
Harrison Saul was born at New Tripoli on August 21, 1827, and is now the oldest surviv- ing native of the place, but in respect to age the second oldest resident. He was reared on a farm and when seven years old walked a distance of three miles twice a day to attend school at Lynnville; and afterward he went to school at Lynnport. After reaching young manhood, his mother expressed an earnest wish that he learn a trade and in this behalf suggested tailoring, which he assented to, and he gave it a hard trial for nine months; but in that time he be- came satisfied that he couldn't be a successful tailor, and so he gave it up. Then he took a suggestion to learn shoemaking and he worked at it for six weeks, when he concluded that he wouldn't make a good shoemaker. So he made a third selection, which was blacksmithing, and this he gave a trial of only three days.
Naturally, as a hopeful young man, he was disappointed, but he wasn't disheartened; and when his devoted mother suggested the idea of his becoming a teacher he immediately accepted it, and by the time he had reached the age of twenty-one years he taught his first school, which was in Albany township, thus evidencing truly that he had been possessed of the neces- sary determination to succeed in a satisfactory undertaking. He followed the profession of school teaching for twelve terms with marked ability and great success, and in his later years often described his unsuccessful efforts in se- curing a suitable vocation with a great deal of amusement. Upon terminating his career as a
teacher, he went to the coal regions during the Civil War and assisted in the erection of coal- breakers.
In 1867 he directed his attention to farming, having by that time become the owner of a valuable farm at New Tripoli, which embraced 75 acres, and this farm he has been operating in a successful manner until the present time. In 1869 he erected a new barn on the place. He was one of the first farmers of that vicinity to adopt the use of fertilizers in the improvement of land to secure better crops, and he sold great quantities to other farmers who were also bene- fitted by their use. Notwithstanding that Mr. Saul is over eighty-five years old, he is possessed of a clear and retentive memory. He gave valuable assistance in compiling certain families for this history. He has always taken a deep interest in the schools of his township, and his liberal mindedness and patriotism has made him a valued asset to his community.
In 1854, Mr. Saul was married to Ellenora Dankel, daughter of John and Lydia (Trine) Dankel. She died in 1900. They had the fol- lowing children: Sarah J. (who died when six years old) ; Ellen E. (married to Charles F. Heller) ; Mary E. (married to Joseph Britt- ner) ; Oscar (who died in infancy) ; John (who is residing in the West) ; and Henry (who died when four years old).
Jacob Saul was the father of Mr. Saul. He was a farmer of Maidencreek township, in Berks county, married to Mary Ely, a daughter of Samuel Ely, Jr. Nicholas Saul was his grand- father.

SCHADT-SCHAADT FAMILY.
Prepared by Thomas A. J. Schadt, of Cemen- ton, Pa., and Jas. L. Schaadt, Esq., of Allen- town, Pa.
It is difficult at this time to trace the ancestry of Pennsylvania German families back to their origin in Europe. Our early ancestors pursued the even tenor of their way on the other side. of the Atlantic, content to discharge their duty to God and man and not caring to leave records. which would satisfy the laudable curiosity of their descendants. In fact, the written records. to be found mostly consist of entries in church books noting birth, baptism, confirmation, mar- riage and death. Whether the Schaadt family is. of Dutch or German origin, cannot at this date. be determined with accuracy. Whether the an- cestors of the family, all of whom were members of the Reformed Church, were driven out of Holland during the Sixteenth Century, at the time of the religious persecutions instituted by Philip II of Spain, and settled in Germany or whether vice versa they were driven out of Ger- many because of their religious belief and settled at Amsterdam, in Holland, is a fact likewise- incapable of exact determination at this time. There are grounds for either belief. Members of the family are found in both countries to this. date. Those in Holland write their name Schaad. Those in Germany write the name with one a, that is, Schad. The sound of aa in Dutch is simi- lar to that of the German letter a, that is, both are sounded law. In the public libraries of Am- sterdam, The Hague, Brussels, Antwerp, etc., the name Schaad frequently appears in the lists of professional and social life, statesmen, clergymen,. university professors, doctors, etc. In the Royal Building of Heraldry at The Hague there is: preserved the coat-of-arms of the family. Mr. Charles Schaadd, of Amsterdam, Director-Gen- eral of the Holland State Railways, is of the opinion that all of the Schaadts in America are descendants of emigrants from Rotterdam to-
1115
GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL.
New York in the latter part of the Seventeenth Century. On the marble floor of a cathedral at Nijmegen on the Rhine, near the Prussian border line, appears the name, and tradition says that the church was founded and erected by a wealthy baron of the name of Schaad: perhaps, ' after the fashion of those time, as an act of ex- piation and atonement for evil deeds. It is pos- sible that the immediate descendants of the baron wandered up and down the Rhine in the Middle Ages, some of them occasionally settling along the fertile banks of the river. In 1597, a large number of Flemish and Walloon Protestants were banished from the Netherlands on account of their creed, and developed the town of Hanau in Prussia. They brought their handicrafts, such as weaving, diamond cutting and the manufacture of gold and silver trinkets with them. The modern part of the town owes its origin to them and many of their descendants, among them the Schaads, still live there and follow the same occu- pations. In Hanau, the original Reformed Church in which the refugees from Holland and the Huguenots from France worshipped, is still standing: and there is shown the hole made in the back of a pew by a cannon ball, during a siege in one of the religious wars. Johannes Schad, mentioned below, owner of the farm on Coplay creek, was commonly known at Egypt and the neighborhood as the "Hanauer," that is, the one from Hanau. The family Schadt (also written Schad), is numerous in Bavaria, Wurtem- burg, Mittelbiberach and Geislingen. In 1459 one Albrecht Schadt from Memmingen was "Ratgeber und Kunftmeister." In 1536 Frede- rick X of Muhlheim, Wurtemberg, married Appollonia, daughter of Johannes Schad von Mit- telbiberach, who was "des Kaisers Richter und Rath." In a short biographical sketch of Johan Jacob Schad, who was born in Ulm in 1761 and was a son of Gotthard David Schad; it is stated that his wife was Maria Dorothea Besserer von Thalfingen. Both his and his wife's family had a coats-of-arms. A list of his descendants to the present time, is given. The coats-of-arms of Theodorus Schad, 1631, and Erhardt Schadt, 1632, are shown in the Heraldic Registers of Wurtemberg and Geislingen. In 1689, during the wars when the French were ravaging and devastating the fertile land of the settlers along the Rhine, Johannes Schad and Ludwig Rupp, ancestor of the Rupp representatives in our county, were consumed in the flames kindled by the French at Handschuhsheim, Baden.
The pioneer of the family, settling in this vicinity, was Conrad Schad, who probably came originally from Wurtemburg, Germany. He ar- rived at Philadelphia, August 27, 1733, on the
ship Eliza, of London, Edward Lee, master, from Rotterdam, last from Dover. He was fifty years of age and was accompanied by his wife, Anna Catherine, aged forty-nine; his daughter, Anna Clara, sixteen, and his sons, Heinrich, aged 22, and Heinrich died in Macungie in 1768, leaving a son, Henry, who had children: Henry and Rosina; Johannes, nine years of age. His name is written Conrad "Shott," as subscribed to the oath of allegiance, to which he made his mark. The name, no doubt, was so written by a clerk accustomed to English sounds and to whose English ears Shott had the sound of Schad, as pronounced by its owner. He took out a warrant Oct. 28, 1737, for a tract of land called "The Seine," containing 2201/8 acres, situated about a mile west of Egypt and bounded by lands of Nich- olas Saeger, Peter Good and Casper Wistar, and by vacant ground on the north. This tract Con- rad Schad conveyed to his son, Johannes, Oct. 15, 1747, when 60 years of age. Conrad Schad was born 1683 and died in 1747. His wife, Anna Catharine, was born in 1684. Of the daughter, Anna Clara, nothing is known beyond the fact of her sailing with her father to this country.
