Notes for Johan George (Hans Jurg) Hanselman:

ADMINISTRATION of GEORGE HANSELMAN estate, Douglas Township, Berks County

dated February 10, 1792. Administrator is son-in-law Christian Steinruck.

Strassburger; Ralph Beaver PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN PIONEERS lists Hans Jerg Hanselmann arriving on the Ship "Chesterfield" September 2, 1749. There is also a listing for a Hans Jurg Heyselman arriving on the "Eastern Branch" on October 3, 1753. There is considerable confusion between the two Georges both of whom are listed as George Hanselman and both of whom, at least for a time, settled in Berks County, PA.

[Berks County Administrations, Orphans Court 4-164, March 26, 1792] The petition of "George Hanselman, eldest son and heir of George Hanselman, late of the Township of Douglass in this County, yeoman deceased, Setting forth that his said father died intestate leaving a widow to wit Christina and issue Six children to wit: the Petitioner, Rosina the wife of Henry Hauck, Anna Maria the wife of Christian Zigler, Barbara the wife of Christian Stever [sic], Rachel the wife of John Giley and Magdalena the wife of Christian Yorgy. And that the said intestate died seized in his demesne as { } of and in a certain messuage or tenement and two contiguous tracts of land situate in Douglass Township aforesaid one of them adjoining to land of William Brunner, Herman Reiffschneider, GEORGE STEINROCK and Henry Yorgy containing fifty acres more or less, the other adjoining the above tract, Bernard Honneter, Joseph Schweidel and William Brunner containing twenty one acres and thirty three perches with the appurtances and there for praying the Court to award and request to make partition of the said messuage or tenement and two tracts of land...".

The Orphans Court ordered an evaluation of the property by twelve honest citizens including which was done under authority of the County Sheriff Philip Kremer. The citizens were: GEORGE GRESH, Berhard honnetter, John Nagle, John Keely, Solomon Roads, Jonathan Roths, Jacob Keely, Daniel Reed, Henry Egle, Philip Levengood, Valentine Fisher and John Rohmich. The valuation was determined to be two hundred and eighty pounds in gold or silver money current in Pennsylvania. The panel determined that the property could not be partitioned for fair distribution and George Hanselman presented surety to guarantee payment of shares to all the heirs in two payments, the first payment within twelve months and the second payment due after the widow's death.

This is an important document to secure the property location and confirm George Steinruck's property location. George Hanselman's land located solely in Berks County adjoined George Steinruck's land located soley in Montgomery County. The obvious conclusion is that the two properties straddled the Berks-Montgomery County Line, which is in fact, accurate. Another interesting note is that some of the neighbors and members of the panel to value George Hanselman's land are buried at the Fritz Burial Ground in close proximity to the Hanselman and Steinruck properties. A third interesting note is that Anna barbara, George Hanselman;s daughter and Christian Steinruck, son of Johan George Steinruck were in fact next door neighbors and in close proximity to George Gresh (who's daughter Salome would later marry Christian Steinruck's son Samuel. {John Amtsfield Note]

Hans Jurg is a corruption of Johan George or John George [JJAmtsfield]

6. Anna Barbara³ Hanselman (Johan George (Hans Jurg)², George (Jerg) (Meilisjerg)¹) was born 1759 in Douglass Township, Berks County, PA, and died 1841 in Berks County, PA. She married Christian Steinruck, son of Johan Steinrock and Anna Maria. He was born September 05, 1756 in Douglas Township (now Upper Pottsgrove Township), Montgomery (then Philadelphia) County, PA, and died October 15, 1822 in Upper Pottsgrove Township ("Pottsgrove"), Montgomery County, PA⁴.

Notes for Anna Barbara Hanselman:

Berks County Deed records identify a property that was granted to Josiah Steinruck (47-501) by John Steinruck and Mary. Josiah then granted the property to Isaac Steinrock of Douglas Township (658-518). Isaac Steinrock then granted the property to Charles Steinruck of Douglas Township (658-519). This is apparently the tract that had been occupied by Christian Steinruck's widow, Anna Barbara.

Notes for Christian Steinruck:

New Hanover Lutheran Church Records record the birth and baptism of Christian Steinruck with a birthdate of September 15, 1756 and baptism on April 17, 1757 in New Hanover. Parents listed as Christian [sic] and Anna Maria, sponsor was Elizabeth Jack. The record is unfortunate since it incorrectly lists the father as Christian rather than Johan George or George. Confirmation records make clear that Christian was the son of George.

A History of the Upper Pottsgrove Township Steinruck Homestead, [by S. Duane Kauffman, 1411 Schwenkmill Rd., Perkasie, PA November 24, 1973] This is a review of the real estate transactions involving the 102 acre farm between Levengood Road and Chestnut Grove Road in Upper Pottsgrove Township. Deeds recorded at the Montgomery County Courthouse at Norristown were used.

The following deed is the key. Following is an abstract:

516-378 JOHN STEINRUCK ET AL TO JOHN WEILER, April 2, 1824

Between John Steinruck and Samuel Steinruck both of Douglass Township, Berks County, executors of the last will of Christian Steinruck late of Pottstown, parties of the first part and John Weiler of Pottstown, the other part.

HISTORY OF PROPERTY TO THIS POINT

On March 26, 1761 the tract of 100 acres, 50 perches was granted by Samuel and Mary McCall of Philadelphia to Joachim Godschalk.

On November 18, 1767 Joachim and Elizabeth Godshalk granted the tract to George Steinruck.

On July 26, 1796 George and Anna Steinruck granted the land to "their son, Christian Steinruck".

"Said Christian in his will of March 1, 1820 instructed property to be sold by his executors, John Steinruck, Samuel Steinruck, (sons) and Peter Moser (son-in-law). Moser renounced his responsibility. Weiler paid $775.43 at the time of purchase and $1,066.67 to be paid immediately after the decease of BARBARA, widow and relict of said Christian Steinruck, to the heirs of said deceased".

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

At the present time [November 24, 1973] the farm (100 acres still intact is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Theis and their son and daughter. (Address: Rt. 20, Pottstown). The house is very old. It is in three parts. The oldest is log while the later additions are stone. The exterior has been covered with stucco. The exterior is showing its age but the interior is quite good and is well maintained. In my contact I found the Theis family to be extremely amiable and cooperative! At present the property is used as a large chicken farm.

Combination Atlas of Montgomery County, J.D. Scott, Philadelphia 1877 lists the same property under H. Levengood with 100 acres. [JJA]

The Property Atlas of Montgomery County, J.L. Smith Co., Philadelphia 1893 lists the same property under Caroline Y. Keyser with 102 acres. This atlas delineates the property lines and is apparently the same as the map at the Montgomery County Courthouse. {John J. Amtsfield]

The Douglas Township Tax Lists specifically state that the 100 acre lot and dwelling owned by George Steinrock was "sold to Christian Steinruck" in 1797. Thereafter the same property is listed under Christian Steinruck until 1807 when it appears in Pottsgrove Township (Pottsgrove Township being formed from parts of Douglas Township). The property is listed in Pottsgrove Township through 1822. In 1823 the property is listed under the names of John and Samuel Steinmor [sic].

The Journal of David Schultze, Surveyor living in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, contains two entries for George Steinruck. David Schultze was a well known Colonial surveyor. An entry in his joural dated October 31, 1774 is the following: "surveyed 40 acres for George Steinruck" (p. 80) and "am to survey for George Steinruck near manetawny..." (p. 82) from the Journals and Papers of David Schultze, edited by Andrew S. berky and published by the Schwenkfelder Library, Pennsburg, PA, 1953. [NOTE: David Schultze mentions surveying a 40 acre tract in 1774 for George Steinrock and Christian is listed with a forty acre tract in tax lists from 1783 through 1789. Tax lists for the period before 1782 are not available][NOTE: The Manatawny Creek runs in a north-south axis through the westside of Pottstown and very near the Steinruck homestead]

Perkiomen Region, Volume V, No. 2 dated April 1927, published by the Historical and Natural Science Society of the Perkiomen Region, H. W. Kriebel, Editor. lists George and Christian Steinrock on a quitrent list for McCalls Manor dated 1785.
