Johannes "John" Henry SCHOENHOLTZER
From Shanholtszer History and Allied Family Roots of Hampshire Co., W.VA and Frederick Co., VA by Wilmer L. Kerns, Ph.D pg 23, etc.
The father of the fmaily of Schoenholtzer (Shanhotzer), and the first settler to come to America with this name, was Johannes (John) Schoenhotzer. He was born during the 1680's, most likely in Germany or Switzerland.
All passengers on Johannes Schoenholtzer's ship, which came to America in 1727, were reported to have been from teh Paltine area of Germany. This geographical section was primarily the German State of Pfalz, plus a part of Baden in teh Black Forest. Families congreated in this area during the 1600's and early 1700's to escape religious persecution brought about by the Protestant Reformation. Immigrants fled to the Palatine from other German state, Switzerland and from parts of Holland. As the area became overpopulated, famiiles migrated toward England and America.
Johannes Schoenholtzer joined a group of Palatinates, who made their way down the Rhine River about 1726, passing through the various custom houses, in search of a ship which would take them to America. The leader of this party was Peter Hockman. The record states that forty six male head of families and two hundred family members boarded a ship called Ship Friendship in Rotterdam, Holland. The boat stopped briefly at Cowes, England, after which it sailed for America, June 20, 1727. One hundred eighteen days later, Oct 16, 1727, the Ship Friendship landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Seve male heads of families died during the ocean voyage, probably due to sickness, disease, or starvation. Ten other male heads of familes were too ill to take the Oath af Allegiance in the presence of the governor of the Colony of PennsylvaniaOct 15, 1727, and were sent to an infirmary near Philadelphia. The ones who survived such a trip wre physically and mentall y determined to find a new start in America.
The Captain of the Ship Friendship was John Davies, an Englishman. He submitted a listy to all male heads of fmailies who boarded th ship in Rotterdam, Holland, as required by the Colony of Pennsylvania. Cpt. Davies gave the immigrant's name to Pennsylvaina officials as Henry Shenhots. However, on the same day, Oct 16,1727, the immigrant signed his name as Johannes Schoenhotzer in german. This signature was on teh Oath of Allegiance to king George II, which all immigrants from the ship were required to make. Apparently Captain Davies spelled hte name phonetically, as it sounded in English.
William J. Hinke, German scholar, has observed a pecking order on ship passenger lists, with the leader always named first and the other names listed in roughtly descending order. The first name of the Ship Friendship's log was Peter Hockman (Hogman in German), and our immigrant was listed number thirty three of those who survived to sign the Oath of Allegiance.
Johannes (John) Schoenholtzer settled in Chester Co.,PA, in or near the present Township of Vincent. The maiden name of his wife is not known, though it is possibleshe wsa named Martin. THis hunch is based on namin gpaterns of his descnedants who have been named marin, down into the twentyet century. Teh Zimmerman name was also connected with Schoenholtzer in Switzerland in 1600's according to early cruch records. Aparently the Schoenho;ther were among hte first earliest ones to join the Prostestand Reformation. The compiler regrets that due to a lack of time and money, it wasn't possile to thoroughly research our European roots.
The Schoenholtzers were spiritually devout, and played a major role in establishing the Vincent Reformed Church in Chester Co., PA, sometime prior to 1750, possibly as early as 1730. THis historic chruch has undergonen numberous merges over the years, starting as the German Reformed Congregation and presently affiliated with Unitd Church of Christ denomination.
Nicholas was also a member on the Ship Friendship.
