1850 - lives close to David Walters Christian Shambach, the fourth child of George Jr. and Catherine Reinard Shambach, was born on November 23, 1794 in Montgomery County. He was an active member of the community, belonging to the Reformed Church and participating as a Whig in local politics in his younger years. His 300 acre farm was located just north of Middleburg where he lived with his wife, Mary Walter (whom he married in 18?9) and their twelve children. After the death of Mary in 1837 he remarried Elizabeth Bechtel Bilger in 1840. They had four children, bringing the total number of children to sixteen. Christian was a wagonmaker as well as a farmer and proved his skill by making two wagons at the age of 76. He died on December 22, 1882 at the age of 88. his father George Shambach II: When in his twenties he served in the Militia during the War of Independence and was enrolled in the Eastern Division of Hilltown in the first four classes of Capt. Grier's Company. George appears on Bucks Co. tax lists as early as 1778 and a single man and continues to appear as a single man through 1789. From 1785 to 1789, George is listed as living with his brother, Philip in Hilltown Twp. Bucks Co. This no doubt was the period of time that his father, George Sr. removed to Virginia. George Jr. was in his mid-thirties when he married Catherine Reinard. George and Catherine remained in Bucks Co. at least 15 years after George's family removed to Virginia but he to decided to migrate westward sometime between 1800 and 1810 and settled in Center Twp. Union Co. now Snyder Co. There about one half mile north of Middleburg, Penna. George Jr. bought 279 acres from William Penn's agents. Here he and his sons farmed and did blacksmith work, hewed and built the whole life of the pioneer. In the Triennial Assesment of 1814 for Centre Twp., Union co., Penna., George Shambach is taxeed for owning 279 acres valued at $10.00 an acre on which there was a two story house and a barn. His property was adjoining that of Jacob Wittenmyer. He had three horses, and three cattle. His occupation was listed as Farmer. May 28, 1815, Letters of Administration were granted to John Shambach and Frederick Wise, both of Centre Twp., in the estate of George Shambach of Centre Twp., deceased. Sureties were Philip Walter and John Reininger. The September Term of Orphans court of 1815, appears the Petition of John Shambach, the eldest son of George Shambach, late of Centre Twp. who died intersate leaving a widow, catharine and six children: the Petitioner, George, Christian, Catharine, Elizabeth, Polly, three of whom are in their minority: Christian, Elizabeth, Polly. On page 89 of the records of this court, it is stated that Christian Shambach, Elizabeth Shambach, and Polly Shambach, the children of George Shambach late of Centre Twp., deceased, are minors above 14, and John Reininger of Centre Twp. is appointed their guardian. George shambach is buried in the Hassinger White Church Cemetery. His Grandfather George Shambach Sr.: Johann Georg Schambach arrived aboard the ship ''Mortonhouse'' in Phildelphia, Pennsylvania on August 17, 1729 with his parents Adolph and Dorothy; sisters Elizabeth, Catherine and Anna Elizabeth; and brother Valentine. The family settled in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. George married Elizabeth Boehm (Bohm), daughter of the Rev. John Philip Boehm of Whitpain twp., Montgomery Co., Pa, on December 27, 1739 in North Southampton Dutch Reformed Church, Churchville, Bucks Co., Pa. Four months after their marriage, George took out a warrant on April 19, 1740 for 140 (155) acres of land in Upper Milford twp. Bucks Co. (now Lehigh Co.), Pa. where he and his young wife settled. On February 28, 1743 another warrant for 40 (81) acres was secured by him. George and Elizabeth had at least six children born in this place. Their baptisms are recorded in the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Upper Milford twp. Elizabeth died there in 1756 soon after her last son, Ludwig, was born. Their tracts of land, called ''Kilkenny'', were sold to Jacob Sicher on October 27, 1758. With his six children about him, George Schambach, Sr. remained in Bucks Co. until 1790; his wife having passed on in the meantime. His farm and his family had been his life. Philip and Dorothy first, and later George Schambach, Jr. moved over the line into Montgomery Co., but but as a family they remained close. From 1739 to 1790 (50 years), George Schambach owned and kept up a home for himself and his family-acompact group for an unusually long period. It would appear George Schambach Sr. lived a fairly conservative type of life, a thoroughly wholesome one. Not until his last days did there appear any radical change. It was only when his children had become restive, wishing to find new homes in newer teritory, that he sold his farm when they sold theirs, and he joined in the general migration to Virginia. Daniel Schamback bought his farm near Reliance, a few miles south of Winchester, in 1793. His father showed his independence by going west from Winchester and buying his land out from Romney, West Virginia. There he made his home apart from Daniel and it was there he died in October 1794, age about 80, capable and independent until the end. George Schambach, Senior, was not only a character in himself, but about him grew those six children and their families. By their pioneering they all became part of the life of newer states with but one exception as George Shambach, Jr. remained permanently in Snyder Co., Penna., as did his son, Christian Shambac. Part of his other children and very many grandchildren joined in the Western migration so that it can be said that the spirit of George Schambach, Sr. still breathes in his many descendants, scattered as they are throughout almost every state in America. |
