HISTORY and GENEALOGY

OF MY BIEBER FAMILY

PREFACE

Two hundred sixty nine years ago our American foreparents together with their wives and children were sailing the high seas on their way from Germany to America. They left their homes in Alsace, some from Hirschland and other parts of Germany. In the small sail boats in which they came, all were huddled together, numbering from one hundred to sometimes four hundred persons. Their trials and experiences in many case were sad and pathetic. Some were not able to stand the hardships and died on the way and were buried at sea.

All of our ancestors arrived at the port of Philadelphia, Pa. Some were four months buffeting the high seas in their slow and tedious voyage. The Bieber’s first settled in Chester and Berks counties in Pennsylvania. The Pauley’s first settled in York county. The reader will note that the original German spelling of the name was Bieber; those who moved into English communities changed the spelling to Beaver, Biever, Beeber, etc., but all belong to the same family.

We are the descendants and inheritors of the hardships of our pioneer ancestors and at the same time we have entered into the blessings bequeathed by them who cleared the forest, built their log cabins, established their Christian homes, erected their log churches and under God has perpetuated the Christian Church, and today we are enjoying a most glorious heritage, for they have given to use the freest, finest, riches and most liberally governed country in the world. It is to those noble fathers and mothers that we dedicate this volume.

This volume is the outgrowth of a book published by the Rev I. M. Beaver in 1939 and research by the compiler, searching court house, church and graveyard records and historical works found in the local library.It is hoped that this document may prove a lasting monument to the departed; a lively incentive to greater understanding and success by the living and that future generations will appreciate this rich heritage.

THE ORIGINAL FAMILY NAME

In La Grande Encylopedia, Vols. 5 and 10, we learn that the original family name for Bieber (Beaver) was de Beauvoir. This was the original family of Huguenots in France. The little village of Beauvoir in France on the Yonne river Canton of Tucy, formed, formerly, a feudal estate, which gave its name to a family from Burgundy, known since the beginning of the 16th century, at which time it acquired, through marriage the feudal estate of Beauvoir.

The de Beauvoir family in France is the Bieber, Beaver family in Germany. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, the Huguenots were obliged to leave the country and with other French Protestants the family went to Deux Ponts, Alsace, and there to take a German equivalent of their names. Alsace was then German; the change was easy and desirable. The original French family name was de Beauvoir. This was changed into Bieber, German, Beaver, English.

The Huguenot refugees settled in different parts of Alsace and other parts of Germany, and later part of the Huguenots, going down the Rhine, went to England and part came to America. Those that came to America went to Rotterdam to take ship, that being then the principal port of departure for people from all parts of Europe who were going to America.

SHIP RECORDS OF OUR IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS

Minor and women were not required to register. Names according to different spellings, viz, Bieber, Biever, Bever, Beeber. The following lists were taken from Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Volume 17. Compared with Rupps's 30,000 immigrants and Ralph Beaver Strassberger, LL. D., Pennsylvania German Pioneers. The dates given are dates of arrival and the time when the oaths were signed.

Our ancestors arrived on November 2, 1744, in Philadelphia, PA, on the ship called FRIENDSHIP. Captain John Mason, from Rotterdam, via Cowes, from the Palatinate. Johannes Bieber, Georg Bieber, Dewald Beaber. Rupp gives the same names. Strassberger gives the following spelling: Jerg Biewer, Johann Bieber, Dewald (X) Beaber.

CAPTAIN'S AGREEMENT WITH PASSENGERS

The following was the usual form of agreement the captain of the ship made with his passengers:Those who pay in Amsterdam before the ship leaves, to pay for one person whether man or woman (children under 4 years old being free).From 4 to under 14 years six and one-half guineas. From 14 years and older 13 guineas. A guinea was about $5.00. Those who settle in America. (Children under 4 years being free.) From 4' to under 14 years six and one-half guineas. From 14 years and older 15 guineas. Those who pay their passage in America shall be bound to produce it within 10 days.

FOOD :

The distribution of food to be made daily among the passengers, to wit, to one, full passage (a half passenger in proportion, and for children, nothing).

Sunday : A pound of beef with barley.

Monday : A pound of flour, and a pound of butter good for the whole week.

Tuesday : A half pound of bacon, cooked with peas.

Wednesday : A pound of flour

Thursday : A pound of beef with potatoes.

Friday : One-half pound of rice.

Saturday : Peas, a pound of cheese, six pounds of bread for the whole week, and one-half pound of bacon. A quart of beer and a quart of water per day. Since beer sours during the voyage, only enough beer for part of the voyage will be taken along

and when this is gone a double portion of water will be given. Half of the water

will be supplied for cooking. Each morning a small glass of Holland gin and each

week now and then some vinegar.

The agents who worked up the immigration parties for the ship owners, urged each family to take such food as dried beef, peas,oatmeal and butter along. When one was without money his only resource was to sell him self for a term of 3 to 8 years or more to serve as a slave. These were known as "Redemptioners." Nothing but a poor suit of clothes was received when his time had expired.

Families endured a great trial when they saw father purchased by one master, the mother by another and each of the children by another. All this for the money that they owed the captain for bringing them over. And yet they were only too glad that after waiting long, they at last found some one willing to buy them.

The ships used in the trans-Atlantic travel were small sail boats, about one hundred tons burden. The accommodations were crude often overcrowded; the sailing uncertain and of long duration, some times taking as long as twenty-five or thirty weeks. But our immigrant ancestors were willing to bear all this in order to escape the tyranny of French rule.

Let us remember that Alsace Loraine, from which some of our immigrant ancestors came, wasoriginally part of the German empire, but from 1681 to 1871 it was in the Possession of France. When Alsace Loraine came under French rule those of the Protestant faith who would not accept Catholicism were Gradually forced to leave their all and were driven out by the French----through Belgium and Switzerland, some going to Holland and England, others coming to America to find new homes wherethey and their children might worship according to their religious beliefs without interference.

BIEBER HISTORY

The following is the history and genealogy of George Bieber who is our forefather. From wills and deeds recorded in Berks and Chester County court houses and from the Lutheran church records at Dryville, PA., and other records it is disclosed and proven that George Bieber, born in Germany, October 1698, died June 1775, aged 76 years and 8 months, and was the father of John Bieber, 1722-1777, the Revolutionary War soldier, who died of camp fever at Valley Forge, Chester County, while serving in the American army. This ancestor George Bieber, both he and his wife Margaret, are buried at Dryville Lutheran Church, Rockville township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. His tombstone is found in this cemetery.

It is claimed that the three brothers, George, Dewalt and John, emigrated to this country from the kingdom of Saxony, Germany, and landed at Philadelphia November 2, 1744. The compiler of this history has not been able to prove or disprove that they came from the kingdom of Saxony. A number of authorities claim that they came from Alsace Loraine, and this is the belief of the compiler. We know they first settled in Tredyffrin township, Chester County, PA., and early became large land holders in both Chester and Berks County, PA., following agricultural pursuits. He was known by some persons in early life as “Maxatawny George” to distinguish him from another George Bieber of about the same age, possibly a cousin, who resided in the Oley Hills. In this connection I may say that the Berks County Biebers have clung to the original German spelling of their names, while those of Chester County changed theirs to Beaver. The English community of Chester County adapted the name to the sound. George Bieber first settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania. There is no exact date when he moved his family to Berks County, Pennsylvania. There is on record in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a tract of land patent to George Bieber (Bever), March 2 1744, date of warrant February 13, 1744, the English reckoning of time. The American reckoning of time would be 1745, since the colonies were under the Gregorian calendar until 1752. This tract of land contained 302 3/3 acres, as will appear in detail further on. This land remained in his possession until September 26, 1761, when he sold one half of it to his son Dietrich and the other half to his son-in-law, George Sell, as will be stated later.
