  • Notes 
    • Jill Hertig, a family genealogist who is now deceased, did some research and found a possibility for the family of Catherine Schwab. I believe the source of her finding is: "Evidences of the Howard Families of York County before the year 1850" from Genealogical Reports for The Historical Society of York County, Volume XXVI, p 91(?): Henry James Young, Director.
      The following is noted: "On April 1, 809, Margaret Schwaab, widow and relict of Adam Schwaab, late of Hellam Township, deceased, Henry Schwaab, a son of the deceased, Joseph Kraft and Juliana his wife, Peter Kramer and Magdalena his wife, David Riehm and Anna Maria his wife, Jacob Strong and Catharine his wife, the said Julianna, Magdalena, Anna Maria and Catherine all being daughters of the said Adam Schwaab, dec., who died in intestate in Hellam Township, sold a tract of land." This can be found in deeds recorded from 1749 to 1850, inclusive in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, Court House, York, Pennsylvania, in 2T, 368.

      WILL: Jacob and Catherine were the parents of thirteen children, all born at Windsor Township, York, Pennsylvania, but there is some discrepancy regarding who those children are, their dates of birth, and the order of their birth as indicated by the will of Catharine.

      In her will, dated 9 February 1856, Catharine purports that her heirs included John Strong, deceased “my eldest;” Daniel Strong, “my fourth son;” the rest of my children, which are eleven, are to share equally, except “my eldest dotter (sic) Polley Dewey” and the executor is to pay the same to her eldest son, Jacob Miller, grandson of Catharine Strong. (Kingman Brothers, Historical Atlas, Fulton Co., Ind. [1883], 41; Jean C. Tombaugh, Fulton Co., Ind. Abstracts of Wills 1839-1899 25-26.) Catharine died on while in Fulton County, Indiana, on 5th July 1859 her stone reading, “Catharine Strong, wife of Jacob Strong, died July 5, 1859, at age 76 yr. & 5 mo.”

      WILL OF CATHARINE STRONG

      I, Catharine Strong of Fulton County and State of Indiana do make and publish this my last Will and Testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by me at any time heretofore made.

      First, I direct that my body be decently interred and that any funeral be conducted in a manner … responding with my estate and situation in life, and as to such worldly estate as it has pleased God to trust me with I dispose of the same in the following manner to wit-

      I direct first that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon after my decease as possible out of the first money that shall come to the hands of my executor from any portion of my estate, real or personal. I also direct that my property, both real and personal to be sold soon after my decease all which I do possess or may be left at that time to be sold by my executor for its reasonable value as to the highest bid and to invest this my intention I hereby vest my executor with full power and authority to dispose of my real estate in fee simple or in a full and simple manner in every respect as I could myself do if living.

      And I also direct that my executor be vested with full power the following purposes to effect. I give and bequeath to my beloved children the following … and equal share to each one except as I shall herein mention to John Strong deceased my eldest or to his survivors I bequeath one dollar in good and lawful money. Also to Daniel Strong my fourth son I bequeath one dollar and further direct that the rest of my beloved children’s beloved children shall share equal in the balance of my estate which are eleven (11) in number except my eldest dotter Polley Dewey I direct that my executor will retain out of her portion that folletis to her fifty dollars and pay the same to her eldest son and my grandson the same fifty dollars which grandson is by name Jacob Miller. And I hereby make and ordain my worthy and much esteemed friend Jacob Whittenberger my executor of this my last will and testament.

      In witness whereof I Catharine Strong the testator have hereunto set my hand and seal this ninth day of February in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fifty-six (1856). [Catharine made an “X” for her mark]

      Signed, sealed, published and declared by the above named Catharine Strong, last will and testament in the presence of us who hereunto subscribed our names to wit whereunto in the presence of said testator and in the presence of each other.
