INDEX

[21777] Margaret Bates' Web site (2003): Benjamin "married MARY ELIZABETH ISABEL CRENSHAW 26 Jul 1837 in Calloway or Henry Co, KY, daughter of DAVID CRENSHAW. She was born 21 Jan 1819 in 'Isabel', Virginia, and died 22 Jul 1892 in Rockwall, Rockwall Co, TX. Information on this family comes from: "The Boydstun-Boydston Family" by Gladys Domonosky, p. 240-247; "The Boydstun Family" by Gustine Weaver (transcribed copy of the family Bible of Benjamin F. Boydstun in in this book); Cemetery Records, Rockwall County, Texas. This cemetery is located behind the First Baptist Church on Highway 205 in Rockwall, Texas. Descendants in 1927 lived in Rockwall, Texas, Baird Texas, and Kent, Washington. Additional information on descendants was obtained from the Smith-Duckworth lineage published on GenWeb in 1997, Presley Smith, compiler. The family records of Chuck Boydstun have a different birth date -- that of 21 May 1811. David Smith also shows this date of birth. Benjamin F. Boydstun was the first school teacher at Rockwall, Texas, and taught there many years. According to Gustine Weaver's book, he owned a large tract of land 12 miles square, which now comprises the county of Rockwall. Apparently, however, he was a surveyor whose name appears on many deeds in the county, and this is not accurate. NOTE: Rockwall County was formed from Kaufman County, Texas in 1873. Benjamin F.

[17630]

PA Archives: Second Series. Vol IX.: Part II: Section 5 reports that a John Dehuff was Chief Burgess of Lancaster, 21 Sept 1744.

A note in Ancestry.com in 2015 offers: " The Dehuff family were among the earliest German colonists to settle in America. John Dehuff and Catharina Brecht, daughter of John and Catharina Brecht, were members of a little company who came from the Palatinate in 1725 and located in Maryland. They were married in 1727 and some years later removed to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where John Dehuff died in 1751. They had eleven children: Henry, born 1738, died 1800, married March 14th, 1768, Philipina Eberman, daughter of John and Anna Eberman. Their daughter, Ann Catharina Dehuff, born December 31st, 1773, died July 21st, 1814, married May 19th, 1793, Hilary Ehrenzeller."

Another note in 2015 offers: From papers read before the Lancaster County Historical Society - JOHN DEHUFF

The first person of this name among the early settlers in Lancaster was John Dehuff, who was born in 1704 and died December 25, 1757, aged forty-seven years. His wife, Catharina Brecht, aged eighty-six years, was born March 22, 1704, at Schriessheim, in the principality of the Palatinate. Her parents were Johannes Brecht, an official in the principality, and Catharina, born Hoffman. In 1725 she came to this country, and was married on October 1, 1727, to John Dehuff, and had eleven children. John Dehuff was of Huguenot descent, and left France with many others after the revocation of the edict of Nautes in 1685. He came to Lancaster from the eastern shore of Maryland, near the source of the Elk River. It is said he was a follower of Jean De Labadie, whose commissioners secured for that purpose a large tract of land, situated on Elk River, in Cecil County, Maryland, and called Bohemia Manor. It is not known when he came to this country, but I find a record of him in Lancaster in 1742 and 1743 as Assistant Burgess. The charter of the borough of Lancaster was granted May 1, 1742, and "did nominate and appoint Thomas Cookron and Sebastian Graff to be Burgesses, and Michael Bierly, Matthias Young, John Dehuff, John Folkes, Abraham Johnson and Peter Worrall as assistants." In 1744 he served as Chief Burgess of Lancaster.

John Dehuff was a saddler, and prosperous, residing on East King street, and owning a number of houses. In 1742, as history tells us, he was classed as one of the leading men of the town.

John Dehuff, a son of John Dehuff, was one of the original members of the Friendship Fire Company, having signed the articles of the Association December 10, 1763, which included names of prominence, viz.: George Ross, Thomas Barton, James Bickham, Jacob Glatz and others.

On the jury empaneled by Sheriff Matthias Slough, December 14, 1763, to investigate the murder of the Indians at their village, outside of Lancaster, were Matthias Dehuff and John Dehuff.

Between the building of the Moravian Church, in Lancaster, in 1746 to 1800, the names of fifty-six Dehuffs appear in the register of that Church, either in the way of marriages, births or deaths, showing they were numerous; as much so, perhaps, as any name then known in the community. In 1750, when it was proposed to build a chapel adjoining the church, he thought a building for a boarding school much more necessary; but later gave £5 to the chapel.

HIS CHILDREN:

Five children survived John Dehuff, viz.: Susanna, who died in 1761, and Johannes, who died in 1774, leaving a widow, Anna Barbara, a daughter of Heinrich Zimmerman.

Heinrich Dehuff, born September 14, 1738, was first married to Elizabeth Graff, and the second time to Philapena Eberman, and died April 19, 1799. Following in the footsteps of his father, he was a saddler, and was chosen Chief Burgess of Lancaster in the years 1778, 1779, 1783, 1784 and 1782, and Assistant Burgess in 1789 and 1772. He was appointed by the Court in March, 1759, as Overseer of the Poor. At a meeting held August 25, 1764, of the Union Fire Company Henry and Matthias Dehuff were present as members.

Matthias Dehuff was born August 27, 1740, and died June 14, 1803. He married Catharine Kraemer. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, serving as a private in Captain Jasper Yeates' company.

Captain Abraham Dehuff, certainly one of Lancaster's most distinguished citizens, was born near the source of the river Elk, on the Eastern shore of Maryland, February 13, 1735, and died in Lancaster, March 11, 1821. He married Mary Finch, of Philadelphia, daughter of John Finch and Mary Libert, May 25, 1756, who was the mother of nine children. Abraham Dehuff was a saddler. He was Assistant Burgess of Lancaster in the years 1761, 1762 and 1763. He was also one of the founders of the Lancaster Library Company, in 1759. It was renamed the Juliana Library in 1763. This was the third circulating library organized in the colonies. On November 8, 1775, Abraham Dehuff was chosen a member of the Committee of Correspondence for Lancaster County. He contracted a second marriage, with Catharina Wolf, February 5, 1793.

Maria, the daughter of Abraham Dehuff, married Robert Reed, born in Ireland, April 28, 1785, and was the ancestor of the late George K. Reed and Mrs. Charles A. Heinitsh.

REVOLUTIONARY RECORD OF ABRAHAM DEHUFF:

Abraham Dehuff was appointed Captain March 15, 1776, in Colonel Samuel J. Atlee's musketry battalion, which was recruited in the spring of 1776, and joined the "Flying Camp" under General Mercer. In Colonel Atlee's battalion were two companies from Lancaster County, Captain Abraham Dehuff's and Captain Thomas Herbert's. Colonel Samuel J. Atlee's and Colonel Samuel Miles' regiments rendezvoused at Marcus Hook, and were ordered to New Jersey on the 12th of August and were brigaded with Glover and Smallwood's regiments under command of Brigadier General Lord Sterling. In the battle of Long Island, August 27, 1776, Colonel Atlee's and Colonel Miles' regiments suffered so severely that General Washington ordered three battalions to be considered as one regiment under command of Lieutenant Colonel Brodhead until further orders. On the 5th of October, 1776, the Council of Safety ordered a rearrangement of three battalions. The company of Captain Abraham Dehuff retained its place in the reorganization, being known as the State Regiment of Foot. A part of this regiment was present in the action at Fort Washington, November 16, 1776, and fell into the hands of the enemy, with several of the officers, among them Captain Abraham Dehuff, who also suffered severely at the battle of Long Island, and was exchanged as prisoner of war, November 16, 1778. Abraham Dehuff was appointed Sub. Lieutenant of Lancaster County, April 1, 1780.

REAL ESTATE HELD BY JOHN DEHUFF AND HEIRS:

John, Thomas and Richard Penn, proprietaries and governors in chief of said Province of Pennsylvania, by their patent bearing date of November 30, 1717, granted unto Hans Pupather (alias Brubaker) and Christian Hearsay, a certain tract of land situated on Little Conestoga Creak, then called in ye country of Chester, now Lancaster County, containing one thousand acres. In 1718, by mutual consent, divided this grant of land into equal parts of five hundred acres each. The heirs of Christian Hearsay, deceased, did grant and confirm unto Peter Baumgardner and Barbara, his wife, two hundred and sixty-eight acres of said land and the allowance of six acres for roads and highways. The above named persons being aliens, and, therefore, not capable of making a legal conveyance of the said land, he, the said Peter Baumgardner, humbly requested that the proprietaries would be pleased to grant him a release. A patent was granted, recorded in Philadelphia, on the 20th of August, A. D., 1734. On the 21st of November, 1737, John Dehuff bought the land held by Peter Baumgardner and wife, Barbara, and in January, 1761, John Dehuff, his eldest son, paid five hundred and fifty pounds for sixty acres of this grant of land on the Little Conestoga Creak, in Hempfield Township, of the lawful money of Pennsylvania.

James Hamilton, August 14, 1740, granted to John Dehuff and Catharine, his wife, lots 329 and 330, or pieces of ground, situated in the borough of Lancaster, on the North side of King Street, in depth sixty-four feet, near Prince West of Water. Lot 276, Prince Street, near King, on the South, in 1735, with an out lot, number 17, in Manheim township. John Dehuff bought from Roger Hunt and Esther, his wife, January 8, 1743, a lot on Queen Street; also a lot on King Street from Harmon Updegraft, August 20, 1757.

John Duhuff was one of the influential men in the organization of the First Reformed Church, before he became identified with the Moravians.

The original lot on which the church was built was a grant from James Hamilton, dated October 5, 1741, to Henry Bostler, John Dehuff, Peter Balspach, John Barner, Philip Miller and Nicholas Caudle, members if the Reformed Church of the High Dutch Protestants, in the town of Lancaster, and trustees for the said congregation. Lot, sixty-four feet four and on-half inched in depth, to a fourteen-feet alley; depth two hundred and fifty-two feet. Recorded in book H, page 89.
