Such is the nature of history, that only after many years, do men begin to inquire into a man's life; where he lived, what he did, etc.
In our day, family history is not so carefully preserved as in the days of the people of Israel. So carefully were the records kept in those days, that when Christ was born, St. Matthew could give his genealogy back to Abraham, and St. Luke traces it back to Adam, and this, too, in an age when writing and the keeping of records was far more difficult than in our day.
A sufficient excuse, if one were needed, for presenting the history of the Boehm family in connection with this re-union are the facts.
First. -- That Rev. John Philip Boehm, the founder of the family in this country, was one of the first land owners on the Saucon Creek, in what is now Lower Saucon Township and Hellertown, -- the first tract which he bought being bounded on all sides by vacant or unseated lands.
Second. -- At least five able ministers of the Gospel -- four Lutheran and one Reformed, have descended from this sturdy pioneer, a pioneer in church and state, -- one of whom was the Rev. William Rath, for about thirty years a pastor of this church.
Thirdly. -- We have with us to-day, the oldest survivor of this family, --a member of this church, in the person of Father David Boehm, familiarly known as "Dady" Boehm, and whose approaching birthday has partly brought about this gathering today.
His pastor tells me that he had first thought of inviting a few Father Boehm's friends with a view of celebrating his birthday which comes to-morrow. But upon further reflection he concluded to get up a re-union of which all might have the benefit. A few words more, therefore, in passing, in regard to our friend David, who was born in Hellertown, September 15, 1812.
He lived with his father Anthony, first in what is known as Dornblöser's house, and then at the corner house where I. Louis Nickum conducts a confectionery store at present. The building used as a tannery by Anthony still stands on the same lot and is now used --one end as a carpenter shop and the other as an ice-cream factory.
When David was eight years old, his father left Hellertown and came to Apple's. Here he has lived ever since.
As a boy, he went to school at Hellertown and later here. He learned the trade of a tanner from his father, and for many years carried on the business successfully for himself. He takes pleasure in telling his friends, that in all his business transactions, he never sued any man at law, neither was he ever sued by anyone. As a young man of twenty-three, he took an active part in building this church.
From that time to this, he has been a regular attendant at both the Reformed and Lutheran services, --being the only person now living who has enjoyed this privilege.
His wife (maiden name Hannah Solliday), for a good part of the time shared this privilege with him. She was called to rest January 27, 1892, almost seventy-four years old.
We congratulate him to-day on the remarkable blessing of old age, vouchsafed to him by our Heavenly Father, on this auspicious re-union of a church he so much loves, and on this gathering of friends from near and far to offer congratulations, and trust this day may be associated with pleasant memories as long as he lives. With these introductory sentences I beg leave now to pass to the subject assigned to me, viz:
We need not enter into the life of our first ancestor, the Rev. John Philip as his life has already been laid before you by another speaker. Neither do we wish to speak of his property in Montgomery County, where as early as 1734, just one hundred years before this church was built, we find him in possession of two hundred acres of land, and where he lived to the end of his life in 1749, where he also founded a church, that still bears his name, --having today a membership of nearly three hundred and supporting its own pastor. Neither have we taken the pains to inquire into the presumably numerous posterity of the Reverend in Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, where five of his children, --one son and fours daughters married and settled down, viz: Philip, the younger of his two sons, and his heir and successor in the old homestead, who afterwards resided in Philadelphia. Maria was married to Adam Moser; Elizabeth to George Shambo; Levina to Ludwig Bitting, and Phillippina to Cornelius Dewees.
These all, and their descendants, wherever they may be, though kinsmen according to the flesh, we must for lack of time, dismiss from our present attention, trusting that they have lived worthily of a noble ancestry.
The death of Rev. Boehm at the house of his eldest son, --long supposed to be his only son --in Hellertown, while there for the night while on his way home from Egypt Church, where he had administered the Lord's Supper the day before, dying in the harness, as it were, has often led people to ask after the family in this neighborhood. It is this branch of the family only, as already intimated, we shall attempt to follow up in our sketch today.
First, then the land on which the family gained a firm and permanent hold or footing, and which has bound them securely to this locality until they could no longer get away even if they tried to. So no doubt it was with the Apples, the Leiths, and Weiss' and others.
If the forefathers had not secured a good slice of land in the first place, these families would not have obtained such a permanent home in these regions. Some of the old fathers laid their foundation deep and strong even though settled in the midst of a trackless wilderness. In 1740, John Philip Boehm bought two hundred acres of land on the Saucon Creek, and covering a part of what is now Hellertown. In 1743 he bought another tract of one hundred and three acres, the location of which we have not positively identified. It may, and it may not have been in Upper Saucon Township. This land he had no doubt, spied out with a pioneer's eye, as a very desirable tract.
He paid for it to the Penns the sum of one-half penny (one cent) per acre annual rental. The eastern boundary of the two hundred acre tract was the Bethlehem Road, south to Water Street, from there west, and up the hill at Stever's two hundred and twelve perches, -- then north one hundred and sixty perches, taking in most of the Riegel farms, --then east again to the Bethlehem Road. The lines went along vacant lands, showing that this was the first land taken up here.
These two tracts, over three hundred acres, Father Boehm and Anna Maria, his wife, in 1747, conveyed and gave to their eldest son, Anthony William, (II), as the deed tells us, "For, and in consideration of the natural love and affection which they have and do bear for and toward their said son, Anthony William Boehm, and for his better preferment in the world, and for divers other good causes, and considerations them specially moving," etc.
Anthony William died intestate, leaving a widow and only child, Philip, (III), who inherited the said two tracts. Philip was the first to sell any of this land: December 5, 1774, before the Revolution, he sold to Matthias Yost six acres and twenty perches of the two hundred acre tract and forty acres of the one hundred and three acre tract for £160 14s 4d or about $800. --On June 20, 1780, he sold to Francis Hartman one hundred and twenty-seven acres, ninety-two perches, for £400, in three contiguous tracts in Upper Saucon Township.
June 9, 1784, --after the Revolution, he sold thirty-one acres, sixty-nine perches, to Jacob Kram for £255 gold and silver or about $1200. The next day, June 10, 1784, to Jacob Ludwig twenty acres of the one hundred and three acre tract for £500, or $2500 lawful money of Pennsylvania. This may possibly have been continental money, and Mr. Ludwig, may have paid this high price for the land, to get rid of his continental money, for a family tradition tells us that Boehm had a chest full of this money after it was worthless.
Possibly some of his other purchasers to whom he sold right after the war, may have passed some of this money on him; at any rate, although he received high prices for his land he was getting poorer all the time, even though his chests were filled with the money -- the value of all his sales amounting to over $12000. On December 12, 1785, he sold seventy acres of the two hundred acre tract to Jacob Kram for £658, gold and silver or over $3000. July 29, 1788, he sold five acres, eighty-eight perches to Jacob Roth for £137, 10s. March 6, 1792, to Anthony Boehm one acre, eighty-two perches for £140. This no doubt at the corner where I. Lewis Nickum conducts a confectionery store, the present owner being Dr. William F. Detwiller. On June 18, 1792 he sold two tracts of land to Jacob Haas, of Lower Saucon Township, saddler, No. 1 containing three acres twenty-seven perches, and No. 2 twelve acres, six perches, for £200.
Philip died January 10, 1816, aged sixty-nine years, and is buried at Lower Saucon Church. His wife, Anna Barbara, survived him for many years, remaining by stipulation with the purchasers in the old home, the stone house is still standing on what is now the Geissinger farm.
Philip had three sons and one daughter, viz: Anthony (IV), John, Philip and Susanna, who married Jacob Ochs. From this we see although Philip did not leave the family so well endowed with land, as his predecessors have done, he left it better endowed with children and from this time forth the family begins to increase rapidly in numbers, and to spread out in every direction.
We have endeavored by the help of our friends to gather a list of the succeeding generations.
In many cases we can only give the names, not knowing anything of their history, in others we add nothing, as the parents are well known to many of my hearers. We give you the fruit of our labors for what it is worth.
Anthony Boehm (IV), married Catharine Hartman, grandmother to David Hartman of this place, a daughter of George Geissinger of near Bethlehem. His residence at Dornblöser's then where the old tannery stands, and how he bought land from his father, for $700 and his residence at Apple's from the year 1820, has already been described.
While still living, he gave his business in good part in his son David's hands. He died September 25, 1848, in his seventy-ninth year and is buried here at Apple's. A tombstone marks his resting place. In his Bible we find the words, "Anthony Boehm sien Buch, 'Der Herr segne mich, der Herr behüte mich.'"
His wife who died in 1845, in her seventy-first year lies buried by his side.
Anthony had five children, Mary Magdalene, (V), who married James More; Susanna who married Jacob Rath; Elizabeth who married John Diehl, and David and Solomon.
James More whose father lived at what is now Ehrhart's Mill was a miller
by trade, and the father of six children, five of whom are still living,
viz: Thomas, of Philadelphia; Peter of South Bethlehem; William of Bethlehem
Township; Mrs. Elizabeth Hummel of Philadelphia; and James B. of Hellertown.
