EMIGH and HORNING 

Much of the information I have on my Emigh and Horning lines are still in the 

verification stage - I have data, but need documentation 1 . From the information I have 

gathered from internet sources and census records the Emigh's are focused in the region of 

Dutchess County, New York after arriving into the United States from Germany. Early 

Emigh information can be obtained from a book titled, "Settlers of the Beekman Patent" Vol 

4, by Frank Dougherty. Frank shows Johann Nicholas Emigh, born around 1680 -1685 in 

Dennenfel, Germany, as the earliest Emigh settler of the Dutchess County area known as "the 

Clove". Nicholas is reported to be the son of Hans Veltin Emich. Nicholas married Anna 

Catherina (Mueller) Miller on September 4, 1709 in London, England. Catherine was the 

daughter of Henrich Mueller/Miller of Staudrum. My family branch comes from Nicholas 

and Anna’s son, Hans Jury (George) Emigh (1727 – 1810). 

Hans (George) Emigh was born and raised in the Beekman Patent area of Dutchess 

County, New York. Things are not quite as clear at this point, he may have made a move to 

Greene County, NY where his son John G. Emigh was reportedly born in 1756. 

John G. Emigh seems to have moved around some before I located him in the 1820 

census in Berkshire County, Massachusetts (Egremont). John G. remained in Berkshire 

County until his 1824 death. His son George began his family in Berkshire County and 

eventually made a move to Norwich County in Oxford, Ontario, Canada. George died in 

Norwich in 1843 and his children ended up all around Canada and the United States. His son 

Samuel reportedly ended up in Michigan, William and Henry remained in Canada, John is 

said to have moved back to Egremont, MA and the son of my direct line, George, ended up in 

Pennsylvania by 1850. 

It wasn't until the 1850 Federal Census when I first located George, living with 

Herbert and Eliza Hughes in Erie County, Pennsylvania. I am still trying to determine if 

Lucy Eliza Rider Hughes 2 is a sister to George Emigh. 

My Horning line was well established in the Pennsylvania in the early 1700's after the 

arrival of Georg Ludwig Horning from Germany in 1732. After a time in the Philadelphia 

region, the Horning's of this research settled in Montgomery County, PA for some time. 

According to internet sources, George Ludwig's son, Elias, is the Horning branch I follow 

from. My own documentation and research records begin with Elias's son, John Horning. 

John was born 24 December 1792 in Montgomery County, PA and died 25 April 1869 in Elk 

County, PA. From John's will, I know he spent some time in Northumberland County, PA. 

The 1800 index lists a Christian Hornig of Northumberland - I do not know if there is a 

family link. There is a Christian Horting 1802 death recorded in Lancaster County, PA— 

coincidentally, the same year of death as George Ludwig Horning. I find John Horning with 

his daughter, Esther (possibly named after his mother, Esther Weyerman) in 1850 Elk 

County, PA. Esther Horning, the younger, married George Emigh in 1854. George and 

Esther Horning Emigh were the parents of my great-great grandmother, Mary Emigh, who 

married James Buchanan Mohney in 1880 Elk County, PA.

Many thanks go to Frank Emigh for his very informative documentation on ―The Emigh Family‖ – much of the 

research I have obtained and surmised has been verified and confirmed. Special thanks to Patrick Collar, whose 

willingness to share has aided my research greatly.

Lucy Eliza Hughes had two children before her marriage to Herbert Hughes – their last name was Rider – I still 

need to find out who she married first and what her name was before it was Rider.

Eliza Hughs (b. 1812) most likely sister of George Emigh (b. 1823). Need to find early documentation on her to 

confirm a family connection and maybe verify possitively the parentage of George. 

7 

Catherine Horning Miller, daughter of John and Polly Horning, appears to be a widow in this census. 

8 

Samuel Horning (Sep 6, 1771-Feb 1,1855) married Martha Shannon (Feb 12, 1778-Apr 25, 1815) at St. James, 

Perkiomen, Montgomery Co, PA. Samuel is son of Michael and Hannah Roberts Horning. 

9 

The Derr family is linked to the Hornings somehow – most likely to Susannah, wife of David Horning.

24 According to the George Emigh Civil War file, Esther was no longer living by Jan 1907. I have no other record of 

her death date and location. George died in 1904 and is buried in Bundy Cemetery, Penfield, Clearfield County, PA 

– his headstone states that he fought in the Civil War Co. C 211 th Regiment PA Infantry. 

25 John Emigh’s wife died May of 1900 – also, his birthdate not the same as reported in George’s Civil War Pension

There were more Horning families in nearby Clearfield County (Penfield, Huston TWP) that no family connection 

is verified; Amos, who moved to Cameron County, PA, and David. David's death record stated he was born 23 Jan 

1819, in Montgomery County and died 29 Sep 1905, in Clearfield County - he married Susan D. Huntricker and had 

two known sons, Lewis and John. 

27 

James B. Mohney family – James, youngest son of Adam and Elizabeth Hawk Mohney. James married Mary 

Emigh in 1880 Elk County, PA. I have not proven the location of the James B. Mohney family in 1900, although, I 

have a lead on a James Money, born December 1857, enumerated with Joseph Culla in Lawrence County, PA (New 

Castle). Joseph Culla reported 7 boarders in his 1900 household - no names provided. 

28 

Gertrude Katherine Mohney was born on 24 Jul 1897, in Elk County, PA. Gertrude married Taylor Roy Mitchell 

in 1915 Clarion County. Taylor was a first generation American born citizen of English father, Wilson, and his wife, 

Minnie Carnahan Mitchell.

I do not know where this particular Charles Emigh fits in – if he does at all. 

30 

All indicators point to this Samuel as the son of George C. Emigh – family connection not made at this time. An 

additional circumstantial clue is a May 1883 Civil War pension record (from Blair County, PA) in the file of George 

Emigh – it has George C. Emigh’s name on it. 

31 

George ―Shiner‖ Emigh is the son of John Emigh (from first unknown wife) and grandson of George and Esther 

Horning Emigh. George was reared by his grandparents and worked most his life as a laborer and trackman for the 

railroad. George repurchased the house and land of his grandfather that was sold to settle his estate. Shiner’s 

daughter, Lottie June currently resides in the house in Penfield.

George Emigh 

Biographies 

Father of Mary Emigh, youngest son of 5 and 3 sisters to George J. Emigh, grandson of 

Johannes (John) G. Emigh, great-grandson of Hans Jury/George Emigh, great-great-grandson 

of Johan Nicholas Emigh who emigrated from the Palatine area of Germany to New York in 

1710. George’s parents, George and Sarah, moved to Norwich, Oxford County, Ontario, 

Canada some time before 1820. It is assumed that the elder George left the United States due 

to his allegiance to the British at a time when post-revolution sentiment was running strong 

against Loyalists (about the time of the War of 1812). The Emigh’s joined a Quaker 

settlement that was established between 1811 – 1820 by Peter Lossing and Peter DeLong. 

Peter Lossing was the grandson of the Peter Lossing who married Anna Maria Emigh, sister of 

Hans Jury/George. 

A number of Emighs signed Canadian citizenship documents. It is believed, but not 

confirmed, that young George signed an oath of Canadian citizenship on Jan. 19, 1842 – 

George J., Samuel and John had signed their names for citizenship in 1840. George J. Emigh 

died at Norwich Feb. 4, 1843. 

Around 1849/50 the elder Georges children scattered (believed to be around the time of 

the death of their mother, Sarah). William and Henry remained in Canada, Samuel believed to 

move to Michigan, John believed to return to Egremont, MA, and the younger George was in 

Erie County, PA by 1850. 

George was living with Herbert and Eliza Hughs (and Eliza’s two children from a 

previous marriage) in 1850. A family relationship has not been made at this time. 

George purchased a parcel of land from John Green and wife on Nov. 29, 1851. The land 

was situated in Centerville, now known as Kersey, Elk County, PA (Deed Book C, page 412, 

Elk County). In 1852 he sole the property to Towsend Fall (Deed Book C, pages 415 and 416, 

Elk County). 

George married Esther Horning, daughter of John and Polly Horning, in Sept 1854 Elk 

County, PA. 34 

On September 5, 1864, George enlisted as a Private in Co. C, 211 th Regiment of the 

Pennsylvania Infantry. His military record indicated he was 42 years old at the time of his 

enlistment, that he was born in Massachusetts, was 5 feet 8 inches tall, fair complexion, brown 

hair, and blue eyes. He enlisted for one year and was mustered out June 2, 1865 at 

Alexandria, Va. 

George and family moved to Penfield, Huston TWP, Clearfield County, PA around 

Spring 1886. He purchased land in Penfield from Evo DeMay, on April 12, 1886, and from 

Lucien Bird, on August 31, 1886. He died in Penfield on January 14, 1904. He and his wife 

Esther Horning Emigh are buried in Bundy Cemetery. 

Much of the information on George’s parentage and early years has been filled in by 

strong circumstantial supposition. Very little factual data, prior to 1850, has been acquired to 

date. 

Mary (Polly) Emigh 

Christening records verify given name. Mary was called ―Moll‖ by some family members. Mary was 

known to be illiterate her whole life. She enjoyed having books read to her and she was also an ardent listener 

to the Lone Ranger series on radio, and was quite fond of western movies. She was also noted for smoking 

cutty pipe tobacco in a corn cob pipe. She was a great baker and at one point in time kept a tamed black snake 

for a pet. After her husband’s death in 1930, she lived with different children. At the time of the 1936 flood, 

she resided in Freeport, Armstrong, Co., PA with her son James and family. The story is told that she refused to 

leave the house when the flooding was going on – two grandsons picked her up in her rocking chair and put her 

on a row boat to get to higher ground. In another story, while residing with her son, James, Mary was playing 

cards. In a game she thought she had won, when she found out she lost she started walking to Saxonburg (a 

town 12 miles away in Butler County) to a home for the elderly. James picked her up and declared to the family 

that they would not play cards anymore. In her later years Mary’s hair was worn below her knees. 

34 

This information came from a source within George Emigh’s Civil War Records. 


Andrew J. Barnhart 

Andrew Barnhart was born in Chatauqua county, New York, in 1829. He made his home 

with his father, Peter Barnhart, till he was twenty years of age, when he purchased a tannery 

and run it two years. Seized with the western fever, which is always prevalent in the east, he 

sold out and went to Michigan and leased a farm for two years. The state of his wife's health 

induced him to return. Mrs. Barnhart died soon afterwards. One year after this event, he 

purchased a tannery in his native town and continued his first business about two years, when 

he sold out and returned to Michigan and engaged in the boot and shoe business in 

Schoolcraft. This he continued fourteen years, when, selling his stock, he purchased a farm in 

the vicinity and moved upon it one year, and when he sold, returned to Schoolcraft, where he 

remained two years. In April, 1868, he came to Buchanan county and purchased a half interest 

with his brother, in a farm of three hundred and sixty-five acres, in Summer township, with a 

view of going into the dairy business. But at the expiration of five years, finding it not 

sufficiently remunerative for the amount of time and money invested, he rented the farm and 

moved to Independence. Here, after about one year spent in prospecting, he engaged in the 

grocery business, in which he still continues. In the year 1878 he purchased a half interest in a 

creamery in Fairbank township, which he still owns. In 1880 he added four more creameries, 

one being situated in Perry township, two in Black Hawk county, and one in Independence. 

The ones in Fairbank township. and in this city are run by six horse power steam engines; the 

others run by tread horse power. He runs eighteen teams, besides a great deal of hauling done 

by outsiders, and gives employment to thirty men. He makes as high as three thousand pounds 

of butter daily through the best portions of the season. He ships principally to New York city, 

but frequently to Philadelphia. 

Mr. Barnhart married his first wife in New York State in the year 1851. Her maiden name 

was Theresa Cheney, who died in 1854. He married his second wife, Miss Alice E. Rider, in 

New York State, in 1856. They have two children - Maurice W., born July 9, 1863; now 

engaged with his father in the creamery business in Independence. Frenella I., born March 5, 

1868. Mr. Barnhart, affable as a dealer, has a kind word for every one and the highest respect 

of all his acquaintances. Politically, he is a Greenbacker, and was one of seven men who first 

represented that party in this township. 35

John Clark Emigh 

John Clark Emigh is buried at Oak Creek Cemetery in Raymond, Lancaster Co., 

Nebraska. He was the first U.S. Mail carrier out of Raymond, Nebraska. He moved there in 

1895. It should be noted that John Clark Emigh was born on February 11, 1848 but his 

marriage affidavit dated March 3, 1872 shows him to be 22 years of age which would indicate 

that he was born in 1850 or his age as recorded on that document is in error. The following is 

an article from the Fresno (California) Bee dated February 11, 1944. 

FRESNAN, 96, RECALLS LINCOLN'S DEATH AS SADDEST DAY 

John C. Emigh, 3436 Madison Avenue, retired farmer who remembers the day Abraham 

Lincoln's assassination as the saddest in his life, celebrated his ninety sixth birthday 

anniversary today with his usual open house for friends and relatives. He turned from chatting 

with guests to listening on the radio whenever war bulletins were broadcast; however, with 

three grandsons in the armed services, Emigh is following this conflict with as much interest 

as the Civil War of his youth which gave him the opportunity to see the martyred president. "I 

was a boy of 14, working on the farm near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, when Lincoln came to 

speak in a little town near us," Emigh said. I remember it seemed to me then one the most 

wonderful speeches I ever heard. That tall, rugged man looked to me like a strong old farmer, 

and I liked him. I remember he said if the Confederates would come back to the Union they 

could keep their slaves but they did not and later he freed the slaves. The day we heard of his 

death I still remember as the saddest day of my life. My father told me and turned away and 

could not talk for awhile. Finally, he said he would stop working for that day because he was 

feeling too badly to go on." Emigh recalls many days sometimes passed before his farmer 

neighbors in Pennsylvania obtained details of Civil War conflicts, a far cry from the almost 

instantaneous radio and newspaper coverage of today. "This is my fourth big war, not 

counting the Indian fights," he said. "But I do not think it will last much longer. I think in a 

short time the Axis is going to go pop." His grandsons in the service are Private First Class 

John Barksdale, infantry, stationed in the Pacific and John A. Emigh, naval electrical 

instructor, now in San Diego (California), both of Fresno, and Corporal Norris Emigh, 

infantry, who is fighting in Italy. Retired a quarter of a century ago, after 70 strenuous years 

as a farmer, homesteader, restaurateur, mail carrier and founder of Webster, Kansas, Emigh 

now Spends his Winters in Fresno with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. L.A. 

Hatler, and his Summers with his son, John Emigh of Selden, Kansas. "Travel" he said, "is 

my hobby, and I indulge it whenever I have the opportunity without being unpatriotic and 

crowding our soldiers and sailors out of a place. And I do not need any one to go along with 

me either." Emigh recalls that as a middle western homesteader he twice shook the hand of 

President Theodore Roosevelt, once when Teddy was campaigning for the vice presidency in 

1900 and when he sought the White House on the Bull Moose ticket in 1912. However, he 

does not consider either Lincoln or Roosevelt the best speaker he ever heard. That palm he 

gives to a man, "almost a neighbor," whom he met frequently during a quarter of a century in 

Nebraska and Kansas but for whom he never voted. "There never was any one on a platform 

like William Jennings Bryan," he said. The aged Fresnan said he never has failed to vote in a 

presidential election and this year will be no exception. 


Samuel S. Horning (1826-?) 

HORNING, SAMUEL S., farmer, Jefferson township, was born in Mifin township, 

Dauphin couuty, Pa., March 1, 1826. Michael, the great-grandfather, was a native of England. 

Samuel, the grandfather, was a native of Montgomery county, where he was engaged in 

farming. James B., the father, was also born in Montgomery county, and followed farming. He 

married Sarah A. Miller, of Germantown, Montgomery county. Their children are: Ann Eliza; 

Samuel K Mary A., deceased; B. Franklin; John M., deceased; Lewis, and Martha, deceased. 

The father was a Democrat. He and his wife were members of the Lutheran church. He died 

on the homestead, and his wife died at Monterey, Berks county. 

Samuel S. received a fair education in the schools of Upper Providence township, 

Montgomery. county. He learned the milling business in Chester county, where he spent 

several years in the grist mill, after which he operated a mill in Lykens Valley for three years, 

and also worked on the canal. In 1854 he bought a farm in Halifax township, which he 

improved and cultivated for three years, and then sold it. He then bought one hundred and 

forty acres of land in Jefferson township, which he cleared and on which he made valuable 

improvements, and engaged in farming and stock raising. He attends the Lykens markets. He 

was married, in Powell's Valley, Halifax township, in 1856, to Marv J. Baskin, of that 

township, daughter of Oliver and Eliza (Smith) Baskin, the father a well-known resident of the 

county, operating a farm, woolen factory and saw and grist mill. They had two children: 

Oliver B., manages the homestead, in the postoffice at Lykens, formerly a bookkeeper at 

Philadelphia, an estimable gentleman, not married, taking care of his parents in their old age; 

Annie E., single, at home, a lady of culture and refinement, much interested in Sunday-school 

and church work. Mr. Horning is a Democrat in politics; was a tax collector and school 

teacher, and always much interested in educational matters. The family attend the Methodist 

Episcopal church. 36

New York State, early in 1800 and to the Norwich area some time later, settling on Lot 20, 

Concession 1 of the Township of Norwich in 1820. GEORGE EMIGH, who was born in 1818 

and his wife ELIZABETH, bought 100 acres of lot 21, concession 1, North Norwich 

Township on December 14th, 1866 from PRESERVED THOMPSON, and in 1871 sold it to

where the extracting was done was further back in the orchard. The present {late 1970's} 

owners, RALPH M. SMITH, HAROLD SMITH and EVELYN SMITH bought the 100 acres 

from the VERNON EMIGH ESTATE in 1976.

CHAPTER XV. 

FERMANAGH TOWNSHIP 

On the 18th of October, 1798, he sold ―Armagh‖ to Elias Horning, a native of 

Montgomery County, whose father, John Horning, was a German, who had purchased a large 

tract of land in Montgomery and Bucks Counties. He had thirteen children, who, with one 

exception, settled on their father’s land. The father lived to the age of one hundred and twenty 

years. Elias married there, and lived on the homestead farm, in Bucks County, until after the 

death of his father. After receiving the share of his father’s estate, he migrated to the Juniata 

River, and purchased the property mentioned above and settled upon it.

Eisenberg in 1820. I don't have a place of birth for Henry, but the Eisenbergs were from 

Limerick Twp, Montgomery Co, PA, so this may be the correct line. Their children were

I am a Horning descendant. There are a few John Hornings, and I don't have b/d's for 

them all. Henry Horning - there is only one on my tree.- son of John Horning who was b.Sept 

5,1755 m. Elizabeth Hall. 

Henrys siblings -Jacob, b. May 27,1781, Ludwich, Catharine, John, Mary, Nancy, 

William, Isaac, and Samuel.nothing else on this John Horning or Henry. 

time frame is right. also have found some of this Horning line in Juniata Co Pa.

Looking for information on the Horning's from PA. My GGGGrandmother was Elizabeth 

Horning, married to Dr. C. R. Earley. She was born in Sinnemahoning, PA in 1826. She died 

in 1918 and her obituary lists her parents as John & Mary Love Horning. It also lists her only 

living brother as Elias (I believe his real name was James Elias). I have several pictures of her 

from the 1860's that I recovered when my grandfather died. I would love any additional 

information on her family. I was always told that they were some of the earliest settlers in the 

area.

Emigh Family in Massachusetts 

Posted on Genforum by Amy Atwood 22 Feb, 2000 

Louis, This is just a small part of the info. that I have on the Emigh (+variations) family. 

George J. Emigh, b. 1780-1785, probably in Dutchess Co., NY, d. 2-4-1843, Norwich, 

Ontario, (my great-great-great-great-grandfather) (son of John (Johann), (son of George), (son 

of Nicholas). John (Johann) was m. to Charity (?). His son, George J. was m. to Sarah Ann (?). 

George J. Emigh's siblings were William Emigh (my great-great-great grandfather), Samuel 

Emigh (went to Michigan per 1850 census) John Emigh m. Harriet Forster (went back to 

Egremont Mass) Henry Emigh, George (the Younger) and three females (no names). I would 

like to find out what Charity's maiden name was, also William's wife Sarah Ann (possibly 

Topham?) any help will be appreciated and I will share any info. that I have. Thanks again, 

please help if you can. 

Amy, I have the names of George J. Emigh's sisters as Elizabeth, Eleanor, and Mary. I 

have Eleanor b. 24 September 1795. I don't have maiden names for either Charity or Sarah 

Ann. I do have the Father of John (Johann) and back to Germany. I will share any info that I 

have also. Lou 40 

Dear Terry: 

I found that quite fascinating about what your discovering on Wilson Mitchell. Years 

ago, before I learned about what part of England he came from, I noticed the biography in the 

Clarion County, Pa book, and didn't think much then other than that sometimes when people 

came to this country, if relatives were already established here, they went to where they 

resided first. Then I forgot about that biography. I think that Thomas Mitchell may be his 

uncle to do to the fact that when Wilson Mitchell, arrived, if he had no family already here, 

why Clarion County, Pa. and not New York or Chicago? I hope you are able to find evidence 

that Thomas is his uncle. 

I've made some contact on searching the ancestry of our John Horning. Linton H. Love 

from Ontario, has a fascinating website on the descendants of Ludwig Horning ( who arrived 

in Philadelphia, Pa in 1732). he so far has 801 descendants listed, he has more info, but not all 

is listed yet. On his site there are several John Hornings who maybe are John Horning. These 

John's were born in Pa. in the 1790's to. He could only guide me, for what was on hand with 

him. When he returns to Ontario in May (he is in florida for the winter) he is going to check 

into helping us out. All his information is back in ontario. He has researched more on the lines 

that settled in Canada, and would like to rsearch more on those that remained in Pa. He 

believes that the most likely canidate for our John Horning is: a John Horning, b. Providence 

Township, Montgomery County, Pa., the son of John Horning (1755 - 1803) and Elizabeth 

Haal (various spellings) (1761-1824). I was in Elk County , Pa. today and photographed the 

cemetery. If John and polly horning have headstones I think they fell over and lay flat on the 

ground under the snow. I will go back and investigate when the snow melts. At the library in 

Ridgway I found the following: I will send you photocopies from the book it's from. 

Charles Richard Earley, M. D., b. May 1, 1823 Scio, New York, d. May 16, 1898, buried 

pine grove cemetery, with wife. Married 1849 to Elizabeth Horning of Fox Township. 

According to the biography he was a remarkable man, active in medicine, politics and 

bussiness, his whole life. During the Civil War he raised a company of volunteers "the Kersey 

Rifles", and was a surgeon during the Civil War.

This is the line of George Emigh who died in Clearfield Co, PA in 1904. Several census reports showed the birth 

location of George as Mass. – while others showed NY. Eliza Hughs of the 1850 Erie Co, PA census (who George 

is living with) could be the sister, Elizabeth, mentioned in this response to Amy Atwood’s Genforum entry. 


Follow up on Herbert and Eliza Hughes 

I recorded the following to determine if there is a family connection between Eliza 

Hughes and George Emigh (see 1850 Erie County, PA census). I tracked Herbert and Eliza 

Hughes in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 census reports. Based on the census records and an 

autobiography I found on her son-in-law, Andrew J. Barnhart I learned a few things about 

Eliza - but not if she was George Emigh’s sister. I discovered that Lucy Eliza Hughes was 

previous married to a man named Mr. Rider and had at least two children from him, Mary 

Alice Rider and Silas Rider (both born in NY). I am still trying to verify if Lucy Eliza Rider 

Hughes was an EMIGH before her first marriage.

North of Gardner Hollow 

LOCATION: A stone's throw northwest of the dwelling house of Charles Ferris a halfmile 

north of Gardner Hollow on the road to Verbank. 

INSCRIPTIONS: 25 in number. Copied November 10, 1923, by J. Wilson Poucher, M. 

D., Miss Violet Barbour, Miss Margaret DeM. Brown, Miss Caroline Ferris and Miss Helen 

W. Reynolds. 

REMARKS: This is a large walled enclosure, containing many unmarked field-stones 

beside the marked stones listed below. Through the enclosure runs a property-line (indicated 

by cobbles). North of this line the property owner has removed headstones from the enclosure 

and used them in fences, horse-block, etc. South of the line the owner is Mrs. Amos D. Baker. 

Mrs. Baker has a tradition that this burial-ground belonged originally to a Lutheran Church, 

and she states that her father (John Williams, born 1803) attended services in the building in 

his boyhood, the building being torn down approximately 1815-1820. The several histories of 

Dutchess County make no mention of a Lutheran Church in Beckman but at page 233 of liber 

2 of deeds in the office of the County Clerk is recorded a deed, dated September 10, 1749, 

whereby Colonel Henry Beckman made a gift of site, church building and burial-ground at 

this very spot for a Lutheran congregation. Further information about this congregation might 

possibly be gleaned from records of the Lutherans in New York City.

Tracking the Horning Line 

The following information was shared on the internet site of Linton Love, at 

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~linlove/, email address love2057@rogers.com. 

The line of Ludwig Horning has a lot of potential as a link to John Horning (b. 1792). One of 

John’s sons has the middle name of Elias, and one of his daughters was named Esther—this 

circumstancial link has me pursuing anything I can find on Elias (1761–1826 Juniata Co., 

PA) and Esther Weyerman Horning; Elias was a son of Ludwig Horning and is reported to 

have had a son named John for whom I have no other information. 

Ludwich Horning 

This is an attempt to trace ALL descendants of our ancestor LUDWIG HORNING who 

arrived in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania, on 11 August 1732. In reading this you can be sure of 

two things. The first is there will be mistakes. These will be due to my carelessness or 

misinterpretation of records or they may be due to some of the conflicting information in the 

old files of the genealogists who were doing their research in the late 19 th or early 20 th 

centuries The other fact is there will be many Horning relations who are not in this record as 

yet. . 

Unlike the method used in tracing one’s own direct line, I did not have access to 

immediate past family history for many of these families. It was difficult to trace the families 

who started to spread out of Pennsylvania to other states except my own line who came to 

Canada. Luckily some very kind researchers among the Horning relations were able to supply 

information which is now in this database. The following persons, listed in no particular order, 

supplied information on their family lines for which I owe them many thanks.. 

Dorothy McCabe of Vancouver, B.C. 

Gloria Oakes of Ancaster, Ontario 

Donald Horning of Collingwood, Ontario 

Paul Kuzyk of Hamilton, Ontario 

Vona Smith of Vancouver, B.C 

Charlotte Moore of Millgrove, Ontario 

Rosanna Davis of Hacienda Heights, California. 

Jamie Smith of Ravena, New York 

Brad Murphy of Kitchener, Ontario 

If you find your family is not included but have information that would help to extend 

these files, I would greatly appreciate if you would get in touch with me. If you see mention of 

deeds, wills, maps or photographs that I have in my files, I would be pleased to send you 

copies with no obligation on your part, if you would make the request. 

As of 15 December 2004, there are 1,642 Horning related individuals in this database. I 

have a list of about 50 more who I believe are in our line but I have not been able to connect 

them to a family as yet. I sincerely hope you will find some of your ancestors in these pages, 

and I especially hope you will find some new and interesting details about them. Please don’t 

hesitate to get in touch if you have questions or corrections. Maybe we can fill in some of the 

blanks with your help. 


KATHELINE KEYSER died on 7 March 1799 and LUDWIG HORNING died 4 June 

1802. Both LUDWIG HORNING and his wife KATHELINE KEYSER are buried in the old 

section of the MENNONITE CEMETERY at the Lower Skippack Meeting House on Meeting 

House Road south-west of Skippack. Their tombstones are still in quite good shape and can be 

seen in row 7. Photographs of the tombstones, cemetery and Meeting House taken in 1994 are 

in my files. The Lower Skippack Mennonite Meeting House was first built in 1725 and was 

the second in Pennsylvania. The first was the Meeting House in Germantown. The present 

Meeting House at Lower Skippack is the third on the site. 47 

First Generation 

LUDWICH (LUDWIG) HORNING and KATHELINE (CATELEYNTE) KEYSER had 

the following children: 

1. PETER 2 was born 1740
