Caspar Kriebel and his wife, Susanna, arrived in Pennsylvania in 1734, and settled in the southern corner of the township, on the place now owned by his descendant, Abraham H. Kriebel. His chil- dren were George, Abraham and Susanna. He died February 16, 1771. His son, Abra- ham Kriebel, was born in 1736, and married, in 1762, a daughter of George Shultz. He died in 1801 and his widow in 1820. The farm on which he lived and died, at the Schwenktelder Meeting-house, he inherited. Melchior Kriebel and his wife, Anna, the daughter of George Dresher, also came in 1734. He died February 14, 1790, aged eighty years. His chil- dren were David, Susanna, Melchior and Rosina. In 1776 we find Abraham Kriebel rated one hundred and eighty-nine acres.

Susanna Weigner, widow, whose maiden-name was Seipt, arrived at the same time with her children, -Abraham, George and Rosina. Abraham Weigner married Susan, daughter of Abraham Yeakel, May 31, 1750. Their children were Maria, Sarah, Rosina, Susanna, Abraham and John. He died March 13, 1781, aged sixty-two years.

Abraham Yeakle and wife, Maria, arrived in 1734 and died January 12, 1762. His children were Balthasar (born in 1736), Hans, Susanna, Rosina and Elizabeth. Balthasar Yeakle married Rosina, widow of Christo- pher Reinwalt and daughter of David Heebner, Oc- tober 7, 1760. His children were Esther, Maria, Catharine and Abraham. He had in 1776 one hun- dred and fifty acres of land. He died April 18, 1789. Hans or John Yeakle, who resided in Towamencin, was also the son of Abraham; married Anna, daughter of Christopher Weigner, in 1762. Their children were Maria, Regina, Christopher, Joseph, Magdalena, He Jacob, Christian, Anna, Abraham and John. died in 1801, aged sixty-two years, and his widow in 1822, nearly eighty. He was rated in 1776 with one hundred and fifteen acres. Balthasar Anders and his wife, Anna Hoffrichter, eame in 1734 with the others. He had three children,-George, Anna and Abraham. He was a shoemaker by occupation and died in 1754, aged fifty-six years. His widow survived until 1784, having attained nearly eighty-four years. George Anders was rated in 1776 for one hundred and fifty acres and as having a family of seven children.

Yellis Cassel, who, in the list of 1776, is rated for eighty-two aeres, was the great-grandfather of Abra-

ham II. Cassel, the noted antiquarian of Lower Sal- ford, who was born in this township September 21, 1820, as was also his father, Yellis, and grandfather, Hupert Cassel. Yellis and Hupert Casscl were land- hoklers in Perkiomen township in 1734. The former arrived about 1715, and the latter in 1727. Johannes Cassel, who settled in Germantown in 1686, it is sup- posed was uncle of the first Hupert. Frederick Wampole came from Germany in 1744, and purchased from Abraham Lukens one hundred and fifty acres, on which he resided, and was witness thereon to interesting scenes connected with the Revolution. Among the township officers of the past, we find Jo- seph Smith constable, in 1767; Frederick Wampole, supervisor, 1773; John Luken, constable, 1774; and Garret Gotshalk, assessor, and Owen Hughes, collec- tor, in 1776.

The road from the present Spring House to Marlbor- ough township was laid out and confirmed in June, 1735, and, in consequence, was for a long time afterwards called the North Wales road, and as it became ex- tended further northwards, became known also as the Maxatawny road. In 1829 a charter was granted to turnpike this road up to Sumneytown, and though great efforts were used to secure sufficient stock along its route to complete it, they failed until 1848. This was a great improvement over the old route, not only in being much straighter, but in the reduction of grade. The Forty-Foot road, which extends through the whole length of the township was laid out several years before the Revolution. It was over this high- way that the army marched from Skippack to their encampment.

Through the success of continued researches, the writer has ascertained that the occurrences that trans- pired in this small township during the Revolution are unusnally interesting, and for which here but a very brief space can be given. The battle of Germantown was fought on the morning of October 4, 1777, and re- sulted disastrously to the American cause, when Wash- ington immediately returned with the main body of the army up the Skippack road, beyond the Perkiomen, in the vicinity of the present Schwenksville, where they remained until the afternoon of the Sth, when he arrived and established his camp nearly a mile northwest of Kulpsville, near the Lower Salford line. The officers wounded in the battle were brought to a farni-house on the Forty-Foot road, about a mile and a quarter southwest of the Mennonite Meeting-house. General Nash, who had been wounded in the thigh by a cannon-ball which had killed his horse, we know from an eye-witness, was carried up hither on a litter made of poles. Washington may have come here on purpose to attend the funeral on the following day, for which he issued his orders that he should be interred at ten o'clock, and that "all officers whose circum- stances will admit of it will attend and pay this respect to a brave man, who died in defense of his country."

Washington made his headquarters at the house of

Frederick Wampole, whom we have mentioned as being supervisor, and who in 1773 was rated for two hundred and twenty acres of land, one servant and four horses. The house was about half a mile north of the meeting-house. It belonged to J. W. Wampole, Esq., as late as 1856 or the following year. The pres- ent owner is Jacob Detweiler, who took down the old house in 18SI and built a new one in its place. In his letter to Congress, dated at Peter Wentz's, in Wor- cester township, four miles distant on the Skippack road, Washington says: "We moved this morning from the encampment at which we had been for six or seven days past, and are just arrived at the grounds we occupied before the action of the 4th. Our motive in coming here is to direct the enemie's attention from the fort." The Rev. Jacob Duche, of Philadelphia, through the defeat at Germantown, was induced to write a letter, on the 8th, to Washington, desiring him now to abandon the cause and stop the further effusion of blood, and at the head of the army demand from Congress that they make peace. This letter was delivered to him here on the 15th by a female whom he had induced to deliver it, an undertaking which certainly no sane man of his own free will would have risked.

While the camp was here a court of inquiry was ordered and held respecting the conduct of General Wayne at Paoli, of which Lord Stirling was president. John Farndon, a private of Colonel Hartley's regi- ment, was sentenced, September 25th, to suffer death for desertion to the enemy, and was executed here at noon of the 9th, immediately after the funeral, thus adding additional solemnity to the day, traditions respecting which are still extant in the old families of the neigh- borhood. The place of execution, it is said, was on the Lower Salford line, about a quarter of a mile northeast of where the turnpike crosses the Skip- pack Creek, the premises being now owned by J. Wampole. Major John White, a resident of Phila- delphia and an aid of General Sullivan, was shot dead by a British soklier from a cellar-window in the attempt to fire Chew's house. Lieutenant Mathew Smith, a native of Middlesex County, Va., in the hazardous effort to carry a flag to demand a formal and immediate surrender was killed by a ball within musket-shot of the building. Concerning Colonel Boyd, we have so far failed to secure any other infor- mation than that he and the officers were buried beside each other in the Mennonite graveyard, oppo- site the camp, and their names even John F. Watson, the annalist, could not give, though on the monu- ment committee. The chief authority that Washing- ton made his headquarters at the house of Frederick Wampole rests in the letter of Colonel Henry Laurens to his father, president of Congress, dated at " Head- quarters. Wampole's, October 15, 1777," who was aid- de-camp and private secretary to the commander-in- chief during the whole of this period.

Kulpsville is the only village of this agricultural

township, and outside of it there is little produced in the way of manufactures. It is situated on the Sumneytown and Spring House turnpike, near the centre of the district, ten miles from the former and seven from the latter place. Its situation is high, and it can be seen for several miles in coming front either direction on the turnpike. It contains at present about fifty houses, two hotels, one store, several car- riage manufactories, besides various mechanic shops. A three-story briek hall, built in 1856, and surmounted with a steeple and clock, is a conspicuous mark to the surrounding country. The first story is occupied by a manufacturing establishment, and several of its upper rooms are used as lodges by the Odd-Fellows and the Order of American Meehanies, and the hall is used for worship, lectures, exhibitions and literary exercises. The Methodist Episcopal Church, a one-story brick building, was erected in 1862. In the fall of 1883 the publie school-house here was en- larged, and the books of the Literary and Library Association removed to the second story. The village also possesses a brass band, which has been organized for several years. A house of worship was also erected here in 1879 by the German Evangelical denomina- tion.

The name of the place is derived from the Kulp family, of which Jacob Kulp, in 1776, was rated for one hundred and six acres, which lay in the eastern part of the village and extended on the turnpike to the corner of the present Kulpsville Hotel. Oppo- site, at this date, to the northward, but also on the same side of the pike, lay Henry Smith's (the weaver's) tract, containing eighty-seven acres, which will go to show how insignificant this place was in the Revolution. Jacob Kulp was the son of Peter, who had come from Germany and who also had two other sons, Henry and Dilman. Jacob died here in 1818, at the age of seventy-seven, leaving a son, David C. Kulp, who started the first store here in 1812, was a justice of the peace for forty years and died about 1843. His son, Charles C. Kulp, received the first appointment of postmaster here in 1829, and thus its name became established. The place at this date contained seven houses, a tavern (kept by Mordecai Davis) and a blacksmith-shop. In 1858 it contained two hotels, two stores and twenty-three houses, chiefly brick, and several mechanie shops. A licensed inn was kept here by Hugh Hughs in 1773, by Israel Tennis in 1779 and by Jacob Wampole and Elizabeth Weber in 1790. At this time these were the only publie-houses in the township. By an act of Assembly, passed in 1797 the townships of the Fourth District comprising Gwynedd, Montgomery, Towamencin, Hatfield, Franconia, Lower Salford, Upper Salford and Perkiomen, were required to hold their elections at the inn of Christian Weber. This act remained in force until 1802, when Upper Salford and the western part of Perkiomen were attached to other distriets. In 1824 the entire county was divided into fourteen

districts, whereof several townships still continued to vote here.

Early Churches in Towamencin-MENNONITE. -Not half a mile above Kulpsville, on the west side of the Sumneytown turnpike, stands the Mennonite meeting-house, a plain, one-story stone building, about twenty-four by twenty-eight feet in size, erected in 1805. It is situated on a knoll, at the foot of which flows a small stream, which in a short distance loses itself in the Skippaek Creek ; near by stand several gnarled and venerable oaks, the whole presenting an olden-time appearance. There is reason to believe, from the early dates on the tombstones, that the first house of worship here may have been ereeted before 175"), and not likely much later. This building stood until near the building of the present meeting-house, having been destroyed by fire. The society having been remiss in keeping or preserving records, a difficulty exists to supply authentic data. An aged man of the vicinity related to a friend, in 1858, that he remembered well the old stone meeting-house, to which he had gone to worship with his father about the year 1788; that it had the appearance of being very old then and stood near the site of the present building. A log school-house was adjacent, which has been for some time substituted by a more sub- stautial one, of stone.

To the antiquarian the graveyard attached to this meeting-house in several respects, is an interesting one to visit. In extent it may cover two acres, and it has undoubtedly been used for burial purposes for at least a century and a half. A stone was discovered here bearing the date 1733, and another of 1741. One without a date bears the inseription, " Yellis Cassel, a. 85 y." Many of the inseriptions are in German and several of the earliest have become illegible. In our recent visit the following surnames were taken down from its numerous tablets: Overholtzer, Eisenhart, Boorse, Delp, Stauffer, Drake, Ebert, Cas- sel, Ruth, Frey, Kulp, Vanfussen, Hughs, Keaton, Stover, Detweiler, Mitchell, Rinewalt, Hendricks, Blackburn, Hechler, Metz, Neisz, Rosenberger. God- shalk, Allebaeh, Frederick, Gehman, Keeler, Moyer, Bernt, Schlosson, Bookhamer, Boyer, Hallman, Kratz, Swartz, Kepler, Zeigler, Keyser, Clemmer, Niee, Klein, Snare, Hunsicker, Eaton, Freed, Nuss, Funk and Roop. Families bearing about one-third of those names are still pretty numerous in the surrounding section. Mitchel, Hughs, Blackburn and Eaton ap- pear in eurions contrast, not being German. Here there repose the remains of General Nash, Colo- nel Boyd, Major White and Lieutenant Smith, of the Continental army, either slain or mortally wounded in the attack at Germantown. Over the body of General Nash has been placed a white marble mon- ument about ten feet high, erected in 1844 by the citizens of Germantown and Norristown. The other officers lie adjoining the monument, with simple head and foot-stones of marble a foot in height.

TOWAMENCIN TOWNSHIP.

SCHWENKFELDER .- The meeting-house of this de- nomination is located about two miles from Kułps- ville, near the sonth corner of the township. About the date of its origin here there is a difference of opin- ion. One authority states that a school-house and dwelling combined was erected here in 1765, and another that the date was 1790. A death on one of the tombstones is dated 1745, and inclines us to the · former view. As the members of this denomination arrived first in this country in September, 1734, and that some of them had settled around here at least in 1735, is confirmed by an early marriage record. Be- fore the erection of their first log school and dwelling- house they were in the practice of worshiping at each other's houses. If they did not constitute them- selves a regular congregation earlier than 1782, then the date of 1790 might be correct.

Their first elder or minister in Pennsylvania was George Weiss, who was ordained an elder in 1735 and served until his death, in 1740. He was succeeded in the ministry by Balthasar Hoffman, of Lower Salford, who died in 1775. In 1783, Christopher Kriebel was chosen for the district, followed, in 1802, by Melchior Kriebel, Melchior Schultz and Balthasar Heebner. The present ministers are George Meschter and Ren- ben Kriebel, who have officiated since May 26, 1849. The first marriage celebrated was that of Balthasar Krause to Susanna Hoffman, January 16, 1736, and probably the first death was that of Maria, wife of Christopher Kriebel, April 11, 1738. Early in April, Bishop Spangenberg, of the Moravian Church, came among them, making a brief stay at the house of Christopher Weigner, now the residence and farm of George Anders, near by. The present plain, one-story stone meeting-house was built in 1854, and is situated on the edge of a forest that extends towards the south. The lot on which it stands does not quite contain an acre, the cost of which and the house was about thir- teen hundred dollars. Everything here bears the ap- pearance of neatness and seclusion, which, it seems are carried out in their other places of worship.

The oldest stone in the graveyard that bears an in- scription has that of "A. R. W., 1745." Another informs us of the death of Balzer Anders, who died in 1754, aged fifty-six years, and one of a death in 1770. The most frequent name is that of Kriebel, next that of Anders; than may follow : Schultz, Schneider, Heebner, Weigner, Seipt, Drescher, Gerhart, Rein- walt, Clemens, Adams and Sauter. Nearly all the inscriptions are in German, except a few of recent date. In this language the services are still exclu- sively conducted. Like the Society of Friends, they have no sacrament nor baptism. The ministers receive no renumeration, but about that the society does not appear to be undnly scrupulous. Like most other religious bodies, they are relaxing from their former exclusiveness, and liberal or more enlarged ideas are securing place. Marriages are now allowed with the outside world, in which they have followed the Dun-

kards, and thus the cause of human fraternization is spread. This denomination has five houses of wor- ship in the county, one of which is in the adjoining township of Worcester and the other in Lower Sal- ford. In 1845 they were estimated to comprise in Pennsylvania about three hundred families, or eight hundred members.

DUNKARD .- Next in the order of time is the Dunk- ard, or German Baptist, meeting-house, situated near the western corner of the township, on the east bank of the Skippack Creek, and fronting on the Forty-Foot road, and within a distance of one hundred yards of the Lower Salford line. It originated in the first schism of the old Skippaek or Perkiomen Mennonite meeting. About the close of the Revolution, Chris- tian Funk, one of its members, came out in advo- cacy of the doctrine of resistance to England, and the justice of supporting the same. A few joined with him in these sentiments, among whom was Jacob Reiff, Jr., who built for them a meeting-house on his own grounds in 1814. On his death, abont two years after, the property came in possession of his son, John, who had joined the Dunkards, and to that denomination he willed it with a lot of half an aere. The sect has ever since maintained here regular worship. The first building having become consider- ably out of repair, it was torn down, and a new one, of frame ereeted in 1882, twenty-six by thirty-five feet with a slate roof. It has no settled minister, but is supplied as a branch by the Indian Creek and Skip- pack congregations. From the latter meeting-house it is about four miles distant.

LUTHERAN AND REFORMED .- This is designated by those congregations as Christ Church, and is situated about a full half-mile above Kulpsville, on the east side of the turnpike, close to the Lower Salford line. It is built thirty-five by forty-five feet in dimensions, two stories high, and cost origi- nally two thousand two hundred dollars. The corner-stone was laid May 27, 1833, and dedicated for worship October 15th. On the first occasion addresses were delivered by the Rev. George Roeller, of the Lutheran Church, and Rev. Samuel Helfenstein, of the German Reformed. Owing to the material of structure, it is popularly denominated through this section as the "Brick Church."

Its first Lutheran pastor was the Rev. John W. Richards, a grandson of the Rev. Henry M. Muhlen- berg. He took charge June 1, 1834, and continued in the same until April 3, 1836, when he resigned and went to Germantown. Next was the Rev. Jacob Wampole, until his death, January 3, 1838, aged thirty- five years, greatly beloved and respected. Rev. Henry S. Miller succeeded from April, 1838, till May 9, 1852, -over fourteen years. He is now residing at Phoenix- ville, aged upwards of eighty-two years. Rev. George A. Wentz was next elected, June 28th, and continued three years. Rev. A. S. Link remained in charge till March, 1859, when the Rev. George Sill was

elected. All the aforesaid were also pastors of the Trappe congregation. The Rev. Mr. Baker, of Sel- lersville, is the present pastor.

For the German Reformed the Rev. HI. S. Bassler was the first pastor, who served until May, 1839. After a vacancy the charge was filled by the Rev. I. W. Hanger, who remained about two years, when the congregation was supplied by Rev. Henry Ger- hart. In March, 1843, the Rev. A. Bentz was elected, who served nearly three years. He was succeeded, in the spring of 1846, by the Rev. T. W. Naille, who re- mained until 1857. The Rev. W. G. Hackman assumed the duties near the beginning of 1858, and remained for some time. The present pastor is the Rev. S. M. K. Huber. The late venerable Benjamin Reiff, of this denomination, it is said, was one of the most active and successful in obtaining funds for the erection of the church, to which he was also a liberal con- tributor.

The church is well shaded, among the trees being some handsome evergreens, which should be more common at such places. The graveyard contains about three-fourths of an aere, and in the half-century of its existence a goodly number have been in- terred. In the southwest portion of the ground we find a stone with an inscription, "Sacred to the memory of Jacob Sower, who departed this life No- vember 24, 1843, aged ninety years and five months. He was one of that patriotic band which achieved the independence of his country." The following surnames were copied from the tombstones: Smith, Krupp, Godsbalk, Wile, Johnson, Snyder, Reiff, Baker, Kreamer, Wampole, Boorse, Yocum, Titus, Schneider, Oberholtzer, Schell, Brown, Delp, Garges, Macknet, Fry, Brey, Huth, Wagener, Wilson, Rush, Heehler, Cassel, Weber, Emery, Zepp, Kinsey, Gaul, Hoot, Clemmer, Mace, Hendrieks, Bower, Hagey, Master, Henning, Drake, Feable, Will, Schmidt, Berger, Geiger, Reifinger, Metzger, Rudy, Steyer, Barnes, Shoemaker, Sult, Kulp, Detra, Delp, Fox, Reese, Belzer, Rosenberger, Underkoffler, Stillwagon, Koch, Groth, Alderfer, Hoefer, Lutz, Shupp, Hartzel, Miller, Moyer, Funk, Richard, Becker and Sorver.
