Schertel - Shartle
BERNHARD SCHERTEL arrived Sept. 23, 1732, at the age of 23, on the ship Adventure, Master Robert Curson. It sailed from Rotterdam, last from Cowes. Palatines (Pa. Ger. Pion., Vol. I:87). Palatine became a term often applied to all Germans from the Rhine Valley, and does not
146
necessarily mean that all passengers came from the Palatin- ate. Bernhard was from Wurttemberg (Wurttembergers, Hist. Soc. of Berks Co.). £ He was naturalized as a citizen of Great Britain on April 10, 1761, by the Supreme Court at Philadelphia. He had taken the Sacrament, Mar. 22, 1761. For a person to become naturalized, it was necessary for him to have lived in the colony seven years, and to have participated in the Lord's Supper in some Protestant Church (Pa. Arch. Ser. 2, Vol. 2:348).
Bernhard Schertel probably was a descendant of a branch of the Swabian family so well known during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The most illustrious member of this family was Baron Sebastian Schertlin of Burtenbach, Hohenburg, and Bissingen; Knight, Colonel, and Adviser to the Roman Emperor, Charles V. He was born February 12, 1496, at Schorndorf in Swabia, which later became Wurttemberg, now Baden. He was knighted May 4, 1534, and served in the armies of Franzen von Sickingen and George Furstenberg. He was in the service of Emperor Charles V; became Field Marshal of France in 1556 under Francis I; returned to the service of Charles V; became general of the army of the Smalkald League. He was a con-
temporary of Maximilian I and also of Martin Luther. Like a number of German princes he became a Lutheran and fought for its cause (History of the German People, Janssen; Lexicon of German Nobility, Knesehke).
He accumulated large estates . These were near
Schorndorf, Baden, at Burtenbach; and in the Minden Valley,
147
Bavaria; and in the knight fief Heutingsheim, Wurttemberg. The Schertel family also owned estates at Basel, Berne, Zurich, and Constance. Sebastian lived in Switzerland for at least six years as an exile.
An autobiography, Leben und Toten des weiland
wohledein Ritters Sebastian Schertlin von Burtenbach, by Engelbert Hagaur, published by Berlegis Albert Langen, Munchen, Germany, in 1910, gives genealogical data. The author took part of his material from the original hand- writing of the Knight found at Stuttgart in The Historical Handwritings of the Royal Public Library, Vol. I, Folio 10: 337-386. Sebastian Schertlin married Barbara von Stenda in
1518. She died April 22, 1569. Their issue were: Ursula 1521-1569, married Hans von Stammheim of Geissingen; Hans Sebastian born 1523 at Constance, Switzerland, died 1596, married Verona Giessen in 1555; Hans Philip born 1531, married Rossina of Freiherrn in 1560. Philip was killed
April 1568 in the war against the Spanish Duke of Alba in
He had no issue. Hans Sebastian and the Netherlands . £ Veronica had the following issue: Maria, 1557; Agnes, 1558; Hans Jorg, 1559; Hans Jacob, 1560-1563; Barbara, 1562; Euphrosina, 1563; Katharine, 1565; Hans Frederick, 1566; Hans Henrich, 1569; Veronica, 1571; Anna Regina, 1572; Rosanna, 1574; Sabina, 1576. The following cousins of the
Baron are mentioned: Ludwig Schertel, Hans Conrad Schertel, Frank Schertel. A sister, Agnes, of Rostatt, is also given.
Although the Baron lived at Burtenbach much of the time, he moved to Augsburg, Bavaria, in 1569, where he died
148
in 1577. He was buried, however, in the church at Burten- bach beside his wife. His son, Hans Sebastian, born July 6, 1523, at Burtenbach, and died there March 11, 1596, is also buried here. The church was still standing in 1958. Descendants of this line are still living in this region.
Hesberger's Writings, page 40, and State Papers Number 10, give a genealogical chart of the line of descent of Schertlin von Burtenbach. The last entry is Christian Bernhard Schertel, born 1694, son of Johan Sebastian Schertel.
About a year before World War II an attempt was made to find Bernard Schertel's parents, but the war interrupted the search, and since then it has been almost impossible to get research done in Germany. Not all of the Schertels were located at Schorndorf, but were spread about in many districts, for they were mostly officials of the duke.
A Bernhard Schertel lived at Solothurn, Switzerland who had a son, Philip, born about 1640. Philip had a son, Johannes, 1675-1750 (Swiss Lexicon).
Tubingen University, Wurttemberg, has this informa- tion: Jacob Bernhard Schertelin graduated March 28, 1688. He was a Lutheran minister. His wife was Anna Katherina. Jacob Bernhard was born in 1667 probably at Ludwigsberg. He preached there from 1690-1695; at Hornberg 1694; at Pforzheim 1697; at Ossweil 1707; at Zell-Altbach 1720-1733 where he died Dec. 18, 1736. He had six children, four of whom were: John Jacob, 1703, pastor at Neumburg, died 1762; M. Jacob Frederick born July 15, 1696 at Hornberg,
149
Baden; Peter Bernhardt born 1701, died 1759 at Ludwigsburg, Baden; Esther F. born April 7, 1709 (Pastors Rentschler and Meyer of Ossweil and Ludwigsburg). The son, Jacob Freder- ick, graduated from Tubingen University in 1717. He preached at Zell-Altbach 1733-1748 near Esslingen. He came to Pennsylvania in 1753, and was a Lutheran minister in Lehigh and Bucks Counties.
A Michael Schertel, schoolmaster at Herrenberg had a number of children but no Bernhard. His son, Johannes, was baptized Feb. 2, 1709.
Johann Schertel, a city official of Stuttgart in 1939, is descended from Wolfgang Schertel, Bernreuth, Bavaria, whose oldest son was Christian Schertel born Feb. 16, 1768, who had a son, Johann George, b. Oct. 29, 1796, who had a son, Matthus, b. June 3, 1824, who had a son, Lorenz Schertel, father of Johann of Stuttgart.
Melchoir Schertel, who arrived in 1738, came from Lobrun, Zabergen, Wurrtemberg. Johannes Schertel, who arrived in 1752, came from Dagersheim, Wurttemberg.
During the rule of Karl Alexander of Wurttemberg, the Finance Director maneuvered to get the textile mills of the Schertel families. Some of these linen factories were located at Urach, Maulbronn and Stuttgart. Members of the family were also harassed in person. It was at this time that Schertels began to arrive in America, and Bernhard was the first of these.
The search for Bernhard's parents has been negligible. Further attempts would probably prove that he was connected with the Swabian family.

BERNHARD SCHERTEL b. ca. 1709; d. Sept. 4, 1767; m. Apr. 5, 1737 to Ursula Helferin who was b. Jan. 21, 1710; d. Jan. 9, 1794 (Date of birth, ship list; dates of death, marriage, birth of wife from Family Bible; date of wife's death also on St. Mich. Ch. Rec.).
The Family Bible was inherited by the eldest son, Johannes Schertel; his son, Daniel; his son, Adam; his son, William; his dau., Bertha Shartle. Porter, Phila.
Bernhard Schertel received a Warrant, Oct. 15, 1745, for 140 A., 90 p., in what is now Upper Bern Twp., Berks Co. (Sur. Bk. C-207-51). He received another Warrant, Oct. 8, 1755, for 40 A., 19 p. (Sur. Bk. C-207-58). This land was about one mile east and south of Shartlesville near Naftžingertown. Benjamin Statzel lived on the place in about 1940.
Bernhard Schertel appears on the tax lists of 1753 and 1759, Bern Twp. (Berks Co. T. L. p. 16; Hist. of Berks Co., Mont. p. 1128). He appears on a "Petition for Soldiers", March 15, 1758. See introduction.(Colonial Dames, 17th Century, No. 1323)
Shartlesville was named for the Schertel family. At least the east end of the town was on John Shartle's tract. About 1765, the Schertel family built a hotel around which the town was built. The hotel was known as the "Log Cabin" The second building replaced the first in 1801, but it was destroyed by fire in 1905. A general store was conducted in connection with it.
