Notes for Anna Barbara Zavitz: Church Records: Selected Areas of PA, 1600s-1800s Early Records of the First Reformed Church of Philadelphia Volume 1 1748-1780 F. Edward Wright INTRODUCTION Charles H. Glatfelter states that there was Lutheran and Reformed activity in Philadelphia long before 1740. Philip Boehm conducted services in the city soon after he assumed the duties of the ministry in 1725. George Michael Weiss organized a congregation before he returned to Europe in 1730. A Union Church (Reformed and Lutheran) existed as early as 1734 in a rented building on Mulberry (or Arch) Street, between Fourth and Fifth Streets. The Reformed began building a church of their own in 1745; Philip Boehm, their pastor at the time, laid the cornerstone. Michael Schlatter preached the first sermon in the new church on 6 December 1747. The patent for the graveyard lot on 14 December 1763 read to "the German reformed Calvinist Congregation of the Hexagon Church built by them in Sassafras [ Race ] Street." (See cover for sketch of the church.) The records begin with Rev. Michael Schlatter who remained until 1755 despite his dismissal by the consistory in 1749. Schlatter refused to accept this action and preached in the Presbyterian church. In 1750 arbitrators in the dispute elected to have Schlatter return to the church. However, a split arose again in 1752 and for the next three years there were again two Reformed congregations in the city, Schlatter and Rev. Casper Rubel. Rev. William Stoy served from 1756 until 1758 when he was dismissed and Conrad Steiner followed in 1759, transferring from Frederick, Maryland. Steiner died in 1762 and shortly thereafter the congregation was able to get the services of Rev. Frederick Rothenbuehler from New York. The congregation soon became dissatisfied with Rothenbuehler and obtained Rev. Casper Weyberg, whose pastorate covered the period from 1763 until his death in 1790. It was during this period that the church has a significant growth. A larger church was completed in 1772 at the same location. In looking at the table of contents one will see obvious gaps in the records with the absence of the names of some of the ministers who served during this period. Pastors of the Reformed congregation included George Michael Weiss (1727-1730), Peter Miller (1730-1731), Bartholomew Rieger (1731-1734), Philip Boehm (1734-1746), Henry Goetschy (1735-1736, in competition with Boehm), Michael Schlatter (1746-1755), with interruptions), Conrad Steiner (1749-1751), Casper Rubel (1752-1755), William Stoy (1756-1758), William Kals (1758), Conrad Steiner (1759-1762), Frederick Rothenbuehler (1762-1763), Casper Weyberg (1763-1790), Herman Winckhaus (1790 - 1793), William Hendel, Sr. (1794-1798) and Samuel Helffenstein (1799-1831). The records in this work were translated by William J. Hinke in 1939 from the original which was in four volumes covering the period, 1748 - 1831. F. Edward Wright Westminster, Maryland 1994 Notes Most of the above information was taken from Charles H.
