Generation No. 1

1. Jean¹ Rochon was born Abt. 1660 in Limousin, France, and died in Pinache, Nechar, Württemberg. He married Marie (Volle) Wohlin. She died in Pinache, Nechar, Württemberg.

Notes for Jean Rochon:

The Rochon family was originally probably from the Langedoc area of what is now France. As protestants, they were heavily persecuted by the King of France and his minions and by officials of the Roman Catholic Church who regarded any deviation from Church orthodoxy as heresy. Crusades and military expeditions were launched to destroy pockets of heretics. The Rochons were "Waldensians" which were an early Reformation protestant sect founded purportedly by Peter Waldo in the 12th Century in Lyons, France. Waldo was a rich merchant who sold all of his belongings to devote himself to God and preaching. Eventually following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in France, heretics of the Catholic Church either became Catholic or were put to death as heretics. The Rochons had settled in the mountainous areas of Savoy/Piedmont in the Italian Cottian Alps in what is now present day Italy, east of Turin, in communities based on the Waldensian faith which eventually merged with the German Reformed protestants and Italian Methodism and was roughly similar. Although the Waldensisn communities were in Savoy, and even after their emigration to Germany, they were French speaking and retained French customs, etc. At various times Duke Charles Albert and his successor Duke Victor Amadeus of Savoy responding to intense pressure from the King of France and the Pope, sent expeditions of largely French armies to brutally exterminate the Waldensian heresy. Over a long period of time, Waldensian communities were attacked and destroyed. Remants of the communities survived by going into the Mountains and the history of persecution and suffering is well documented . The persecution of the Wadlensians attracted world attention and world condemnation. From England, Oliver Cromwell, pledged and sent armies and the Dutch pledged support and financial assistance. Even poet John Milton wrote a famous poem dedicated to the Waldensisn martyrs.

The persecution of the Waldenses led John Milton to write his famous sonnet, "On the Late Massacre in Piedmont."

Avenge, O Lord, Thy slaughtered saints, whose bones

Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains cold,

Ev'n them who kept Thy truth so pure of old

When all our fathers worshiped stocks and stones.

Forget not: in Thy book record their groans

Who were Thy sheep and in their ancient fold

Slain by the bloody Piedmontese that rolled

Mother with infant down the rocks. Their moans

The vales redoubled to the hills, and they

To heaven. Their martyred blood and ashes sow

O'er all the Italian fields where still doth sway

The triple tyrant: that from these may grow

A hundredfold, who having learned Thy way,

Early may fly the Babylonian woe.

In Italy, the Waldensian community survives and is called the Valdesi. In German, they are referred to as Waldenser. In English as Waldensian, in Spanish the Valdesa and in French as Vaudois. There are today Rochon descendants living in Italy in the Pinache area of the Perouse Valley, as there are Rochon descendats in Pinache, Wuerttemberg, Germany. A casual glance at the ship registers for the ships that the Rochon brothers emigrated from Germany to America reveals a substantial number of Waldensians from the Waldensian communities in Wuertemberg. There is a large Waldensian Community in North Carolina and a Waldensian Society for research.Groups of Waldensians settled in Uruguay, Argentina and in Central Europe. Interested persons can also access the historic Waldensian sites via the computer using the variations in language in search engines.

One major note is that in Germany, for at least the period when our Rochon ancestors were there in Pinache all of the old church records and offical records are all written in French.

The most interesting fact is that there are a number of Rochon immigrants who came directly from France to Quebec in Canada, to Mobile Bay, Alabama and to Louisiana. I firmly believe that these families originating from the same region that I believe our Rochons came from are directly connected back in the 16th century, 15th century or beyond.

[History of the Waldens Parish Pinache in Wuerttemberg Founded 1699-1724] In August and September 1698 were the Waldens inhabitants of the piemontish valleys Lucerne, Perouse and Pragelas driven from their home for their beliefs of the evangelical faith by the Duke Victor Amadeus (of Savoy). These refugees were taken in by Portestant Swiss people who fed them and gave them lodging during the Winter of 1698/1699 in the Cantons of Zurich, Schaffahusen. St. Gallen, Neuchatel, Biel and Basel. They began their journey the first part of May 1699 to find a new home in Wuerttemberg.

Already on May 3rd, 1699, a royal order was given to the head counselor (governor) of the town Maulbronn, George Martin Greber, which gave word of the arrival of the Waldens refugees and advised him to lodge them at first in empty houses (farm houses) in Duermenz and Muehlacker.

Accordingly, Greber accepted in May 5 52 persons and on May 6 108 persons in Enzweihingen; on May 11 84 persons in Knittlingen, who were members of the parishes Perouse and Pinache, who came down by way of the Rover Rhine on ship and divided them into log homes and entrechments in Muehlacker. By about May 20th all colonists (in total ca. 1700 persons) were gathered in Duermenz-Muehlacker. Since it was a crowded situation, it was suggested by the head councillor to order the new communities to nearby villages in particular the commune de Pinache to Wiernsheim, Oeschelbronn and Grossglattbach.

According to a royal decree of 24 May a commission was formed (including Henri Arnaud and the Nehterlans authorized envoyValkenier, next to the head councillor) to come to the civil office at Maulbronn, "to discuss and consider the affairs in the best possible way, to bring it all to an order."

The commissioners were to take care of their complicated mission, especially the discussions with the German parishes from which the new colonies were to be cut out. By acception of the decision of 30 May by Duke Eberhard Ludwig it was agreed that Pinache; "shall be assigned a comfortable spot of land on the furtherest border near Wiernsheim."

The commission assigned for the community de Pinache, which consisted of 117 families, 5 persons in each (with Serres) a place between Wiernsheim and Duermenz about one half hour from each on an intersection and main road a church to be built. This was agreed upon by the Netherlans Envoy (Valkenier), the Duke and also those appointed (Arnaud and other Waldens people).

Soon the move of the families who were part of the new village, Pinache, began moving to the designated place. In a petition in the French language of 10 June, the heads of the families asked for the following division of fields, vineyards and meadows through their appointed leader, JEAN ROCHON to be given to them without charge. By decree of the same day 10 June 1899, the day of the founding of Pinache is recorded and the head councillor received instructions to tell the new inhabitants not to lose momentum to cultivate the fields and to prepare their homes. Greber went to Wiernsheim close to this date, divided the land which was in part undeveloped as a result of the Thirty Years War, gave ideas where the houses should be built and the fields planted. Already on the 24th he was able to report that the community of Pinache were before any other in ambition, they had planted over 1000 cabbage plants, seeded beets, etc and have begun to cultivate the devastated land with shovels and axes. Greber had the blacksmiths of Maulbronn make special shovels, axes and hoes, ordered plows for them so the farm animals would not lack feed for the Winter and early Spring, as they would have to work hard. He had the nearby meadows mowed for the payment of interest for the Waldens people.

The next job was to bring order to the community to organize leadership. This took place the first part of July 1699. A mayor was chosen, 6 councilors, a clergy and a policeman . Those chosen were presented to the inhabitants in the presence of the French pastor. They promised to obey and continue in their ambition.

In a report of 6 July by Greber it states, that he has to say the Pinache community arew working hard, that is women, men and children. They have a good beginning, they have plowed and prepared many acres of land which have not been used for 60-70 years. They have gathered the branches, made trenches and burned them. All in all, they have prepared for the building of homes and prepared for the winter. Those refugees in Villars have used their examples. He said he especially liked the way the people in Pinache have made no difference between the widowed and orphaned or those ill, or young or wahtever reason they couldn't do what the others did, all were helped and equally encouraged and built.

The financial needs were taken care of by collected moneys from Holland. On 26 February 1699, a collection took place in Amsterdam and the sum of 71, 946 Gulden came together to be divided among the Waldens refugees.

The living conditions were still very primitive and their primitive homes of boards and clay were not sufficient for the upcoming winter. They were therefore given homes and rooms that were not lived in for the time being, which was not at all in favor of the Germans of the area. Especially since the French language and customs were strange to them.

By 18 January 1700 the governor gave orders to begin cutting the trees for the needed wood for houses and barns and divide the same. The lots were divided and given out. It was a slow process for few had the money to build a house. Most lived in empty barracks on the old street in Duerrmenz. According to a census of 1707 of the 60 families in Pinache 7 owned a house, most of them a house made from wood, some a wood board house and a farm, only a few owned a house and barn. There were 10 horses, 10 steer, 41 cows, 77 goats.

Among the founding families of Pinache (and Serres, which at first was part of Pinache) were the following: Albert, BALME, BARAL, Barthoulin, Berger, Bert, Bertet, Bertoche, Blanchot, Bonnet, Carrier, Choiret, Clot, Combe, Coque, Costabel, Gallet, Gaillon, Granget, Gillis, Giraud, Irorie, Javel, Jaimet, Jouvenal, Justet, Laided, Lajeard, Long, Micol, Louris, Nicol, Pascal, Pastre, Perron, Pons, Poncat, Prim, RICHARDON, ROCHE, ROUCHON, Sarvay, Soulier, TALMON, Travers, Tron, VOL, Vollat; together 50 names, 535 souls in circa 120 families.

The new colony received the name Pinache after their home Pinache, in Piemont in the valley of Persoa on the Clusone. According to a still existing list most colonists came from there, in fact most from the main town Pinache, others from the parcells Riviere (on the river) and Puy (either on the hill or the well); these places are found on the map by Leger of 1669. The name Pinache is derived from pinus pine (spruce)/ The pronunciation of the welsh for Pinache is "Piradscho".

Now the village was founded, but the hard beginning was not easy to bear. The work on the uncolonized land was hard and the harvest not as they had hoped. On top of it, natural disasters such as repeated hail storms destroyed much of the harvest. Many got discouraged and they were battling the thoughts of moving away.

According to a report from the mayor of 14 February 1704, 62 persons went back to Piemont, 32 single men to join the military against France, 30 other family members among them 12 children. They turned over their estates to others who stayed until their return. It is not known if they returned.

As with other villages of Waldens Settlements the government withheld the duties of taxes from Pinache for 10 years and extended it 5 more years becasue of the slow progress until 1715. When the taxes were enforced, the trend of emigration began once again. Prussia was the aim for many and on june 3rd, 1718 22 families expressed the wish to leave. The Wuerttemberg governement was at first not impressed since they had put so much money into this development, and now that it was time to receive taxes, the people wanted to leave. But when they saw that some of them would not be a loss to them and others were selling accumulated goods, while some left secretly, the government opened the way.

The stipulation was that the goods which they received gratis could not be sold, but was to be divided among those that stayed. There were only three families in Pinache who did not receive everything gratis from the government some had been paid for. Soon after this, Germans began to move in much against the will of the governors. By 1720, 6 German families had settled in Pinache. It took 25 years to build up Pinache and to organize the town. During this whole time they only had one pastor.

(Montgomery, Morton L.) Shappell - Schappell - Schappel. In Perry township, which until 1853 was a part of Windsor township, Berks county, is a prominent family bearing the name of Schappelle, Choppelle, Schobbel, Shobel, but now more commonly found spelled Shappell, Schappell and Schappel. The original home of the family was in France, but through religious persecution its members sought refuge in Germany, making their home at Wittenberg. Among the one hundred and eight passengers aboard the good ship "Patience," which landed at port Philadelphia, Sept. 17, 1753, was Jeremie Chappelle and one Jean Pierre Chappelle. The kinship of these two emigrants is unknown, but it is not doubted that they were relatives. What became of Jean Pierre, after landing in the New World is not known. Jeremias Shappelle (as it appears on the tombstone) (or Schobel) and Eberhart Schoppel, brothers, were residents in Windsor township, Berks county, Pa., in 1754 [See Rupp's History].

(I) According to the tombstone inscription at Zion's Church, in Perry (formerly Windsor) township, Jeremias Schappelle was born in 1715, and he died Oct. 15, 1804. His wife Catharine, born 1724, passed away June 8, 1801. The will of Jeremiah Shappel is on record in Berks county court-house in Will Book A, page 505. It was made Feb. 11, 1803, and probated Jan. 7, 1805. At the time the will was made he was a resident of Windsor township. The following children are mentioned in the will: Jacob (who was made executor of his father's estate), Matthias, Jeremiah, Magdalena and Catharine. In the cemetery at Zion's Church is a tombstone bearing the following inscription: "Elizabeth Schappelle, wife of Jeremias, formerly of Deutschland, born Feb. 16, 1771, died July 9, 1817, aged forty-six years, five months, twenty-three days." This probably refers to the wife of Jeremias or Jeremiah, son of (I) Jeremias.

No records of the descendants of Eberhart Schoppel are in evidence at Zion's Union Church. He may have left Windsor township after 1774, in which year he hewed his name on a stone now in the southeastern wall of the old graveyard. Tradition says that the stones upon which these names were carved (one bears the name of Jeremias) were once a part of the walls of the first church. The fourth church is now (1908) being built.

12. Phillippe³ Rochon (Pierre², Jean¹)¹ was born June 03, 1728 in Pinache, Nekar, Württemberg, Germany, and died March 23, 1807 in Limerick Township, Montgomery County, Pa.. He married Anna Marie Talman October 1751 in Evang. Pfarramt, Pinache, Wuerttemberg. She was born September 08, 1731 in Neuhengstett, Württemberg, Germany, and died December 08, 1803 in Limerick Twp., Montgomery County, Pa..

Notes for Phillippe Rochon:

Occupation: Farmer & Cooper

Note: Philippe emigrated to America on the ship "Bannister" out of Holland arriving Philadelphia 21 OCT 1754. Records of the Falkner Swamp Reformed Church show the children of Phillipe . Will #5579 Montgomery CO., PA Godparents at Christening were: Jean Nouvel & Jeanne Gayde [Carl K. Roshong NOTES]

[John J. Amtsfield NOTES] Several theories arise from the reference data available for Phillippe Roshon. 1) When he arrived in Philadelphia in 1754, it is probable that he was at least bi-linqual in French and German and it is equally probable that his initial settlement in Rockland Township, Berks County (Oley Valley) was likely the result of an indenture to pay for the passage to America. No evidence exists of such an indenture, but it is likely whoever contracted for the indenture was likely a cooper. His time in Rockland Township is wessentially the standrad indenture period of about a minimum of seven years. Both postualtions made by me have little of no evidence to support but it is certainly possible and maybe even likely.

[Montgomery County, PA Wills #5579] Transcription of original will which is frayed at the ends with words missing. The will is as follows:

Some stories have claimed that Philippe Roschon was the schoolteacher at Faulkner Swamp Church. These date from a History of the Falkner Swamp Church published in 1975 that made that claim. Johannes Roscher was the schoolteacher (buried at New Hanover Lutheran), the confusion lies in the entries for schoolmaster that coincide with rental payments for lodging for carpenters working on the church. The book clearly lists payments to a schoolmaster Roshon for salary and again for hay. Church account settlements dated 1771 record payment of 10 shillings rent to Philip Roshon for boarding carpenters. Accounts dated March 9, 1772, February 17, 1773, record further payments for rent. Johannes Roscher, schoolmaster, is listed buried at New Hanover Lutheran. In the 1773 account the schoolmaster is listed as Moser.

There is some tradition that when the Continental Army was encamped through Pottsgrove, New Hanover and Frederick following the Battle of Brandywine and the Paoli Massacre that houses, barns and any shelter was used to quarter officers and for hospitals in 1777-1778. Following the Battle of Germantown the army settled in Valley Forge but there was a constant stream of traffic of wounded bieing transported to the Swamp Churches used as hospitals and further into Reading and foraging parties throughout the area. Maps of the Army encampments place the Army squarely in the vicinity of the Phillippe Roshon property.

Montgomery County Quarter Sessions Docket lists Philip Roshone as Overseer of the Poor in March 1787.

Difficulty in pinpointing the property was made easier by an indemnification bond from Michael Ninteenhelser of Limerick Township wherein a property of ten acres adjoining his current land was sold to Philip and the bond was necessary because the land in question proved not to have clear title.

Pennsylvanische Berichte, A German language newspaper in three separate issues in 1757 (5/29, 6/25 & 7/9) lists a notice as follows: " Philip Roschon in den Olver Bergen an der Bieber fricht macht betant, das wein gelb braun Pferd sich ie nem Bieb balte ist binten aus der linden Seite gebrant mit B. hareinen meissen Stern vorber Stirn. Wer die uebrige Lenn; eichen fan und Eigner ist, fan es abholen gegen Zahlung billiger Unfoften." [translation: "Philip Roschon in the Oley Mountains on Beaver Creek announces that a yellow brown horse is staying with his livestock, is branded with B on the rear left side, has a white star on the forehead. Whoever can give the remaining identification marks and is the owner, can fetch it upon payment of cheap feed costs.."]

Berks County Tax lists record the following:

Ruscombmanor Twp. (1760)

Phlip Rushold Married paying a tax of 2 pounds 3 shillings.

Rockland Township (1762)

Philip Rushom Married paying 1 pound, 1 shilling and 6 pence

Being a tax "...of one shilling and six pence per pound and 20 shillings per head laid on the inhabitants of Berks County in Den 1762 Towards seeking divers sums of money to his majesty's use be an Act of Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania."

1757: Philip Roshany is listed in Franford and New Hanover Townships, Philadelphia County with 2 horses, 3 cows and 4 sheep.

1769: Philip Roshong is listed in Frankford and New Hanover Township, Philadelphia County.

NOTE: There is an elementary problem relative to Henri Rochon and work done by researchers who have dealt with records that may apply. The records of Falkner Swamp Reformed Church contain an entry in the burial records for Henry Roshong dating his burial on July 1, 1784 with the notation that he was unmarried. Some researchers have extrapolated this reference to arrive at the conclusion that he was never married and therefore had no issue. I do not believe this to be the case as the records of First Reformed Church in Philadelphia indicate. Henry married Catherine Unknown and had issue. The PA Archives make it clear that there were Roshon-Roshongs that appeared in Philadelphia early including David and John that cannot be attributed to brothers Pierre or Phillippe or to any other potential immigrant. The records of First Reformed Church in Philadelphia are very explicit in listing a baptism for a daughter Catherine. How to restify these records with the burial record at Falkner Swamp is problematic, but, if Henry was a widower at the time if his burial, he would have been "unmarried" or if divorced as unusual as that is, he would also have been "unmarried". In any case, the record is clear that henry had issue. [John J. Amtsfield]

This incident was narrated by the late John Eidenmiller, a grandson of Rochon, at Green Lane, Pa, August 7, 1883.

Property of approximately 75 acres is located in (now) Upper Frederick Township running as a rectangular box from the New Hanover Township line through the intersection of Snyder and Haurck Rds 2/3 of the way down Hauck Rd to the intersection with Becker. This property adjoined Thomas Mayberry;s Green Lane Forge property (in fact in 1803 Peter sold 10 acres to the Forge (entries appearing in the Green Lane Froge Daybook). "Forge paid P. Roshon on % of 10 acres land 50 pounds, 15 shillings with a balance of 54-15-3 dated December 1, 1802. Additional entries related to the same property are made on December 1, 1801, November 28, 1803 amounting to three payments for the 10 acres of land

Pierre emigrated aboard the Ship Patience with Brother Henri Rouchon with fellow Waldensers, Pierre Armingeon, Jean Pierre Chappelle, Jaques Balme, Paul Caffarel, Matieu Dier, Jakob Dier and brother-in-law, Jeremiah Chappelle.

Brief notation claims that Peter was a redemptioner (that is he bargained for his passage by indenturing his service on arrival in Philadelphia). The story was that he was indentured to Dieter Bucher of Frederick Township. Uncorroborated and likely impossible to document.

Notes for Peter Wilhelm:

NOTE: Some of the data applicable to Peter Wilhelm and Anna Marguerite Rochon is confusing. Peter Wilhelm's will lists only two children; Peter and Catherine with his death sometime in 1769. The remaining birth and baptismal records could apply to a relative, but lacking further data I choose to retain the records that I located. One note is that records other than the first four birth/baptiamal records are recorded at a different Philadelphia church (Philadelphia First Reformed Church) and may be another Peter Wilhelm.

Tombstone inscription lists birthdate as September 26, 1761. There is also a tombstone for husband Peter even though he was buried in 1819 in Pennsylvania, probably at the Fritz Burial Ground in Berks County, PA. Falkner Swamp Reformed Church records the burial in "Pottsgrove". A Plaque mentions that Peter is buried in Falkner Swamp Reformed Cemetery, Montgomery County, PA mentions his Revolutionary War Service. DAr note that the cemetery has not been found. I believe the plaque was placed erroneously by Howard G. Roshon to commemorate Peter Roshon's Revolutionary War Service and in lieu of being able to locate the actual burial site, it was placed where his wife is buried.

Notes for Magdalena (Jans) Johnson:

(tombstone lists deathdate 9-4-1857)

"History of the Schwenkfelder Families (Genealogical Record of the Schwenkfelder Families, 1923)" and miscellaneous references claim that John Roshong married Magdalena Heebner and this claim ended up in several early genealogies and articles. It is clear that this is an error as Magalena's gravestone clearly states that she is the daughter of John Jans.

The name Jans or Jahns results in a lot of confusion since it appears in several variations including the old German feminine suffix form of Jansin or Janson. That is male members were Jans, female family members were Jansen which is in itself a German form of John. Interestingly, most of the present day descendants of the family are all Johnson.

From the estate of John Johnson (died February 28, 1860 without issue) the family members are clearly listed in a protracted probate action that involved children and grandchildren of heirs. Although the father is not mentioned, John was the brother of Jacob, Benjamin and four sisters; Magdalena wife of John Roshong, Barbara wife of Schlick, Anne wife of Samuel Swartley and Catherine wife of Peter Wisler. The document goes on to say that most of the brothers and sisters were deceased by 1860 and sons and daughters are listed, including John and Magdalens' living children; Jeremiah, Timothy, Daniel, Theresa Slotterer (wife of William) and Enoch as well as Franklin Zepp child of Magdalena and Jacob Zepp. [Montgomery County Orphans Court Records 1858-1863]

Mary Barefoot's parentage is listed as the daughter of James and Mary although this entry has been called into question by other researchers. Even though I suspect that the criticism is accurate and the parentage is not correct, I continue to list this parentage out of a profound sense of respect and veneration for the researcher who made the initial claims.

There is considerable circumstantial evidence that pints to Samuel Barefoot of Chester County as being a likely candidate for the father of Mary, but as yet, there is no definitive proof.

Notes for Philip Roshon:

Faulkner Swamp Reformed Church Cemetery. Tombstones "In memory of Philip Roshon born March 15, 1787, died April 10, 1843, aged 55 years, 10 months and 24 days" "in memory of Sarah Roshon wife of Philip born January 2, 1790, died April 28, 1876, aged 86 years, 3 months and 26 days." At one point the stones were located on the north side of the church (opposite the road) but when an addition was made to the church, the graves were reinterred and the gravestones on that side of the church were removed and later placed in rows at the back of the cemetery. Both Philip's and Sarah's gravestones are located in the first row of the tombstones that were moved. Interestingly enough the tombstones for Christopher Scheffy and Catherine Roshon are enclosed in a small picket fence covered with a canopy in the middle of the church playground.

In a November 28, 1838 advertisement in the Norristown Newspaper "John Pugh advertises the sale of the "Fruitville Hotel", George Mauck's old stand, in Limerick, bounded by David Stonecker, PHILIP RUSHONG, and William Kepler, and fronting on the Swamp Road leading from Philadelphia to Kutztown. Improvements consist of a large and commodious Tavern House, large Barn, sheds, lately built, two wells with pumps; Apple Orchard and other fruit trees.

Daniel⁵ Roshong (Jacob (John Jacob)⁴ Roshon, Phillippe³ Rochon, Pierre², Jean¹) was born December 27, 1796 in Limerick Township, Montgomery County, PA, and died March 30, 1870 in Hamer, Williams County, Ohio. He married Elizabeth Barnhouse May 02, 1822 in Tuscarawes County, daughter of John Barnhouse. She was born September 19, 1804, and died May 18, 1846 in Sugarcreek, Ohio.

Notes for Daniel Roshong:

When I first embarked on researching the Roshon-Roshong family, the first serious research challenge happened several years into the research about 1978, when I came across the Cutshall "Geneology of the Roshong Family" published by William H. Cutshall, circa 1915. The genealogy is more of a pamphlet of approximately 8 pages. This genealogy transcribed hereafter, contended that Daniel Roshong's father was born in France sometime around 1700 with a very fanciful explanation for his emigration to America. It went on to state that Daniel Roshong was born December 26, 1776 and had died March 30, 1870. This would have made him 104 years old at his death. The genealogy also includes photographs of Daniel Roshong as a very old man with a prominent white beard.

My research at that point was done through local Pennsylvania records and included a Daniel Roshon born December 26, 1796 to Jacob and Anna Maria (Major) Roshon. There was little or no further information for Daniel in the Montgomery County, PA area and he apparently dropped out of sight.

My research also disclosed that as fanciful as the emigration story in the Cuttshall genealogy was, there were enough facts to lend some credence to the story. Jacob Roshon, son of Phillippe Rochon was in fact descended from a family that fled due to religious intolerance and persecution as a Waldensian fleeing Savoy as a result of Catholic persecution from the King of France pressuring the Duke of Savoy in the 17th century.

I was also aware that there were Rochon immigrants direct from France to French Quebec, to French Colonies in Mobile Bay, Alabama and a Colony in Louisiana. No connection has yet been made to the French immigrants who retained the Rochon name and the Waldensian Rochons who settled in the Cottian Alps between France and Italy in the late 1600s or to common ancestors, although I believe strongly that there is a connection.

What intriqued me about the Cuttshall legend was that even though the name was germanicized, the tradition was that the name was French. It was also interesting that the only conflicting data was the birthdates for my Daniel Roshon and for Cuttshall's Daniel Roshong. But were the dates a problem? Cuttshall's Daniel Roshong was allegedly born December 26, 1776 while the Jacob in church records was clearly born December 26, 1796. The question then became which birthdate is correct.

In the 1830 census for Walnut Grove Township, Holmes County, Ohio a Daniel Rushing is listed aged 30-40, with female aged 20-30 and two males under 5 and 1 female under 5.

In the 1850 census for Crawford Township, Coshocton County, Ohio Daniel Rashang is listed at aged 53 living with Henry Cuttshall aged 31, Ann Cuttshall aged 26, Susan Cuttshall aged 6 months. With Daniel Rashang is John J. Rashang aged 21 and Daniel aged 18. All were born in Ohio except Daniel Rashang Sr. who was born in Pennsylvania. The 1850 census index lists the name as Roshane.

Clearly Cuttshall's Daniel was not born in 1776 but rather in 1796 as the church records reflected and Cuttshall's Daniel was the son of Jacob and and Anna Maria Major, grandson of Phillippe Rochon an immigrant.

GENEOLOGY OF THE ROSHONG FAMILY

BY WILLIAM H. CUTTSHALL

BRAZIL, INDIANA

GENEOLOGY

With each passing year it is becoming increasingly difficult for one to learn anything concerning his ancestry. A generation or two ago every home had its big family bible, wherein were pages especially provided for the recording of births, marriages and deaths, and these records were most faithfully and carefully kept.

These family records are no longer kept, and in about one more generation it will be almost impossible for one to learn his pedigree.

We owe it to our children, therefore, to prepare during our lifetime, a record of our families and their forbears, before the knowledge is lost, and to preserve it for them.

A little effort along this line as regards the descendants of the Roshong Family, is here attempted by William H. Cuttshall of Brazil, Indaina, as follows:

GREAT GRANDFATHER ROSHONG

Born in Paris, France, sometime in 1700; denounced Catholicism for the Christian Religion and his vast amount of wealth was confiscated and he was to be beheaded, but through strategy of some of friends, he was put in a barrel and shipped as a stowaway to America, landing at Philadelphia.

[Cuttshall, William H. "Geneology of the Roshong Family", Brazil, Indiana]

Despite the myth of the origins of the Roshong ancestor, family members owe a great debt of gratitude to William Cuttshall for his work. His work is the first known published history of the Roshon-Roshong family and his work succeeded in accomplishing his stated objective in preserving the family lineage. In addition, the information he recorded has so far been corroborated to some extent by other contemporary records sources. His work is a treasure and has inspired many descendants to try to explore the family lineage.
