Ann's Ancestors: Dunkards, Mennonites and Quakers Home Table of Contents Surnames Stray Winders Up until the 16th century, Europeans were essentially Catholic. But just about the time that Columbus was "discovering" America, Martin Luther in Germany, Zwingli in Switzerland, Calvin in Geneva and Knox in Scotland were publically questioning the Catholic Church. Thus began a period of religious rebellion. Among the rebel religions were the "peace churches": German Baptist (Dunkard), Anabaptist (Mennonite), and Society of Friends (Quaker). These religions had these things in common: Simplicity: They believed in a simple life style based on the teachings of the Bible. They refused to take oaths of allegiance, claiming that their allegiance was to God. Non-violence: They refused to participate in the many wars against the French and Indians, and later the British. Direct communication with God: They did not believe in the elaborate rituals, political structure, and dogma associated with mainstream churches. Each individual was to seek that of God within himself and act accordingly. Because of these differences with the normal civil order, there was a separation from the main-stream culture of the new colonies. To make matters worse, the Brethren and the Mennonites spoke German, separating them even further from the English-speaking populations.

THE PLAIN PEOPLE OF LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. Last Update: ~Contents~ Plain People Amish and Mennonites THE PLAIN PEOPLE OF LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA. By Henry Kulp Ober, Former President of Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania Introductory-The Mennonites-The Amish-The Reformed Mennonites -The Church of the Brethren-The Brethren in Christ-The United Zion's Children-The Yorkers. The meaning of the phrase "The Plain People" which has been chosen as the heading of this chapter, is locally well understood, but when one comes to set down just what is included in this rather common expression it is not so easily done. There is a group of religious organizations composed of several denominations in Lancaster county, to which this appellation has been applied by common consent. The group at present includes the Mennonites, the Amish, the Church of the Brethren (often called Dunkards or Dunkers), the Brethren in Christ (River Brethren), the United Zion's Children (Brinserites), the Yorkers, the New Mennonites or Reformed Mennonites. It is the purpose of this chapter to set forth in a sympathetic and unbiased manner the brief history of these organizations together with a description of their respective beliefs and practices. In no sense is there any desire to criticise or condemn. Even where one would find himself in disagreement with some of these beliefs or practices, there is no less respect and reverence for those who hold these views. There is no question but that these sturdy people, by their pious lives, the practice of their simple faith, their strong devotion to what they believe to be right, by their self-denial, and by their integrity and frugality, have made a large contribution to the social, religious, economical and industrial life of our great county, and have added to the solidarity of its citizenship.

Brethern, Schwenkfelders and Other Plain People Last Update: The Brethren, The Schwenkfelders, and Other Plain People" This new religion immediately attracted much attention and soon began to make converts. Since many of the early Brethren had been members of the Reformed Church, this older Protestant church was bitter and resorted to persecution to stamp out the new sect. Many of the Brethren fled to Krefeld on the lower Rhine; but hearing of the religious freedom of Penn's new colony, twenty families consistipg of one hundred and twenty people set sail for America. Arriving in Philadelphia in 1719, they settled in Gennantown. On Christmas Day, 1723, the first congregation was organized with seventeen members who had been baptized in Gennany and six converts baptized that day in the Wissahickon. At this first baptismal service in America they had to break the ice on the creek before the new members could be baptized. After the ceremony they held their first love feast and communion at the home of Johannes Gumre, one of their members. The following year a second congregation was fonned at Coventry and a third at Conestoga. In 1729 their leader, Alexander Mack, came to America, bringing with him most of the other Brethren. As the few who were left in Europe returned to the Refonned Church, the whole church may be said to have been transferred to Pennsylvania. Like the Quakers, the Brethren were a church without a creed. Later in the century, when Franklin suggested to Michael Wohlfahrt, an Ephrata Dunkard, "that it might be well to publish the articles of their belief and the rules of their discipline," Wohlfahrt replied:

28. Peter Hon After their departure from the dunkards, Hostetler and Hon were successful Both former dunkards and Baptists adopted Christian as their only religious http://www.therestorationmovement.com/hon.htm

Peter Hon Biographical Sketch On The Life Of Elder Peter Hon During the year of 1791 a group of pioneer Presbyterians on the harsh Kentucky frontier began felling trees, hewing, notching and fitting logs in the process of erecting a house for worship. Because of the extensive cane thickets across that particular rise in the fertile central Kentucky landscape, the name of "Cane Ridge" came rather spontaneously. During the same year in which the logs were being put into place at Cane Ridge, through the cane breaks eight miles east in a colony of German immigrants, a baby boy was born to the wife of a minister of the Church of the Brethren. Members of that particular group were commonly referred to as Dunkers, or Dunkards. They had recently settled in the southern extremity of an area which soon became Nicholas County, Kentucky. The Dunkard baby boy, designated as Peter, was destined to become an effective frontier Restoration preacher and thousands would be influenced by him. At the age of twenty, Peter Hon was baptized three times face forward, and began preaching soon thereafter. It is believed that two forces, one born from within, and the other from without, shaped the course of Hon's life. First, his profound respect for the Scriptures very early led him to accept them as the exclusive authority in matters of religion. This often had him at odds with the Church of the Brethren.

WOMEN'S CLUBS JOHN ROTHROCK, PIONEER DUNKARD John Rothrock, one of the donors of the land on which the city stands, was a leader and a minister in the Dutch Reform, or Dunkard Church, and was very active in its affairs until his death in 1860. Although his followers made no special effort to increase the formal membership of the society, its annual meetings, or out-of-door revivals, were largely attended, even by many Dunkards from a distance. As Mr. Rothrock was comparatively wealthy and the local members of the church were industrious and fore-handed, the society maintained for some years a strong and good influence on the community. The Baptists and Presbyterians organized classes not long after the Dunkards took the field tinder Elder Rothrock, and in 1836, as has already been noted, the Methodists founded a society. The Presbyterians and the Methodists have maintained their organizations to the present time. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THE OLD AND THE NEW SCHOOLS The Old and the New School Presbyterians commenced building churches about the same time in 1843; but the history of the periods of disunion and subsequent union has been so well written by A. R. Orton that the writer is pleased to condense from one of his articles.

SOCIETIES ORIGINALLY MUDGE'S STATION JACOB RAUB, FOUNDER OF CHALMERS The hamlet did not seem to have the promise of a village until July 24, 1873, when Jacob Raub, who for over twenty years had been largely engaged in the grain business and farming, both in Tippecanoe County and at Mudge's Station, platted the Town of Chalmers on a part of the old Ross farm, which he had purchased in 1872. The original town was in the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of section 34, town 26 north, range 4 west. It consisted of 103 lots and the following streets: Main, 70 feet wide; Earl, 66 feet; First, Second and Third, each 66 feet; Chestnut 56, and Walnut, 50 feet wide. Among the works which they accomplished and which had a strong influence on the founding and stability of Chalmers was the creation of a practical public sentiment which resulted in building one of the first gravel roads ever constructed in White County. It passed through the town and enabled the farmers for miles around to get their produce to Chalmers easily and safely. ADDITIONS TO THE TOWN In January, 1887, the founder of the town platted its first addition, as Jacob and Sarah C. Raub's addition to the Town of Chalmers, and in 1891 William W. Raub laid out his first addition; his third in September, 1895, and his fourth in December of that year. In February, 1896, Jacob Raub and wife made their second addition to the townsite, and in March, 1897, Levi Reynolds, his brother-in-law, platted another addition, and several small tracts have been added since.

Peters Creek Church of the Brethren One of the Valley's Oldest Peters Creek Church of the Brethren built in 1845 Early in the 18th century Europe was torn by strife. In the Eder Valley, near Schwargenau, Germany in the spring of 1708, Alexander Mack along with seven others, began a movement which evolved into what is known today as "The Church of The Brethren". In 1719, Mack, with his numerous followers, fled from Europe to America. The colony which they established in Germantown, Pennsylvania was the beginning of the "Dunkards" in America. We must remember the people called "Dunkards". who first came to the area were clannish, German speaking and for many years held themselves apart from their neighbors. They were hard working, industrious people and as a whole, excellent farmers. They sought only enough land to supply their needs. They sought neither wealth nor social prestige. They were not interested in political office and certainly they were not desirous of any type of military honor. When the Shenandoah Valley was first settled the Germans heavily populated the upper portion.

The colony of Pennsylvania, established by William Penn as a refuge for Quakers, offered other groups the prospect of religious freedom. In 1683 the village of Germantown was established by a group of Mennonites led by Francis Daniel Pastorius, and in succeeding years other groups, such as the Dunkards and the Moravians, settled in Pennsylvania. However, the bulk of immigration occurred after 1710, when the Germans from the Palatinate first arrived. Many of these people had sought economic and religious freedom in England; from there a number were sent to the Hudson valley to engage in the production of naval stores, but with the failure of that project many Palatines moved to Pennsylvania. Enthusiastic reports brought other settlers from Germany, until by the time of the American Revolution the population of Pennsylvania, according to Benjamin Franklin, was one-third German.

They were popularly known as Dunkards, Dunkers, or Tunkers, from the German for “to dip,” referring to their method of baptizing. The Brethren evolved from the Pietist movement in Germany. The first congregation was organized there in 1708 by Alexander Mack. Persecution drove them to America where, under Peter Becker, they settled (1719) in Germantown, Pa. From that and other settlements in Pennsylvania they spread westward and into Canada. The Brethren oppose war and advocate temperance, the simple life, plain dress, and “obedience to Christ rather than obedience to creeds and cults.” The original group, at present the largest in the United States, is the Church of the Brethren (Conservative Dunkers); the local churches are united by an annual conference that elects a general board to supervise the national church program.

Now, before I go any further I probably should state that I live a fairly conservative area. Anyway, at this art show that was mostly paintings, I noticed there was only three genres... animals (mostly horses and dogs), landscapes and florals. Although all the artists' work was beautiful.. there was no uniqueness. One table looked exactly like the other. I double checked the brochure to make sure this wasn't an "animal, floral landscape" show. So I'm wondering, why were there no nudes or fantasy paintings or drawings? I asked a couple of the artists there and they had no clue either. I'm tempted to try and get a table next year just to be the one person to do something different..but.. there is that scariness of being the only one! Any thoughts?
