Hientze Christ registered his citizenship in the town of Herbetsvil near Gansbrunner of Solothurn Canton, Switzerland in 1423 along with his nephews Heini and Johann Christ. They had arrived soon after the expulsion of Germans from Bohemia, which had been involved in a religious war for 13 years. 1423 also marked the first printing of the SOLOTHURN FECHTBUCH, a medieval hand to hand combat book. Soon thereafter, the first firearms production in Switzerland began in Solothurn. Armies of the various Swiss Cantons began using war wagons for defense. War wagons were used in the decisive defeat of the Burgundians by the Swiss in 1506. The war wagon construction technology and the fire arms were both brought to Switzerland from the Germanic refugees from Bohemia. Swiss land was accorded Free State priviledges by the Holy Roman Empire. Most of the land in Bavaria and Franconia was owned by diocese. Besides Hesse and Meissen, the only place these people could find land to farm was S!
witzerland. Many of the last Germans expelled from Bohemia called themselves Orphans of JAN ZIZKA. The Catholics issued the last name of CHRIST to wards of the church, or orphans. Many people fled to Bohemia after lands were lost by the Count of ANDECHS' descendants in Ebermannstadt in 1390. Maybe these people were the ancestors of the CHRIST family.
Adam Christ, b.1668 in Wuerttemberg, delivered his sons, HEINRICH, JOACHIM MICHAEL, and GEORGE to Governor's Island, NY on June 13th,1710 on the LYON of KEITH shipping co. consigned to Queen Anne's service. ADAM was employed as a sailor and returned to Europe. HEINRICH and GEORGE were adults and JOACHIM MICHAEL was 9 years old. GEORGE arrived at Tulpehocken in 1729 to take charge of the farmland that JOACHIM MICHAEL and his party of young adult settlers had begun to clear in 1723. Joachim Michael Christ then went to Shepardstown VA to pioneer areas from there. In Virginia,he met & married SUSAN BISHOP of Exeter, PA. They then moved to Exeter,PA. Daniel Boone, born in Exeter,PA, went to Shepardstown some 20 years after. Heinrich's son Henry Jr., Became a Captain of the same regiment that the younger Adam Christ was deployed in. The elder Adam Christ returned to visit his newborn grandson & namesake in 1742. Arriving on the ROBERT & ALICE at Philadelphia on 24 SEP 1742, Adam!
and his wife ANNA MULLER (with umlauts) resided in Northkill (Reading,PA) for a while. Adam died in NEUENBERG AM RHEIN after 1746. He had at least 3 children who stayed in Wuerttemberg. MARIA CHRISTINA CHRIST, Adam's granddaughter was an ancestor to the SILVAO-GOMES family in BRAZIL!
George Christ arrived to Governor's Island, June 13th, 1710 on the LYON, of KEITH Shipping co. consigned to Queen Anne's service. His father, Adam Christ was a sailor and returned to Europe on board. He was accompanied by his older brother HEINRICH, and 9 year old younger brother JOACHIM MICHAEL CHRIST. A will dated 1774 belongs to THIS George Christ. Another George Christ arrived to Philadelphia in 1751, then settled in Longswamp, PA which is in NE Berks County. A last testament dated 1770 belongs to George of LONGSWAMP. The Tulpehocken area where our George lived was near Bernville, PA. JOACHIM MICHAEL CHRIST arrived to Tulpehocken from Schoharie, NY on 13 MAY 1723 along with 14 other young men to clear the land for farming. George later arrived in 1729 to take over the farm. Heinrich's son, Henry Jr. was a Captain in the Revolutionary War in the same regiment as George's son Adam. Joachim then went to Shepardstown, VA to pioneer and clear lands. He met and married S!
USAN BISHOP of Exeter, PA at Shepardstown. They later moved to Exeter, PA where Daniel Boone was born. Mr. Boone later went to pioneer trails leading from Shepardstown to KY and south. George's other son Johannes George Christ inherited the farm and passed it on to his descendant, Johannes Christ, b.2-17-1789 d. 3-20-1867. Johannes' brother, William Christ, b. 1775 ventured to work for himself as a carpenter- fence builder in Dauphin County, later settling in Lebanon, PA. He is my 4th great grandfather.
THE OTHER GEORGE CHRIST (Longswamp, PA.)
He arrived to PhiLADELPHIA from ROTTERDAM along with mom's ancestors on the HMS EDINBURGH on 16 SEP 1751. Many relatives were with a Lutheran congregation from Altdorf, Alsace who, a few generations later, their descendants became the majority of the RIVER BRETHERN church in Elizabethville, PA. This George settled in Longswamp, PA- on the northeast boundary of Berks County. I am searching for more relations of a JACOB CHRIST of Ingwiler, Alsace,1657 to see if this George is from that branch. (Jacob moved there from SOLOTHURN).
