Biography

John Preisz was born in 1724/25 in Indian Creek, Lower Salford Twp., Montgomery Co., PA.1 He married Mary Ann Steiner, daughter of Johannes Steiner and Catharine Brenneman.2 John Preisz died in January 1803 in Washington Twp., Franklin Co., PA,

Before removing from the homestead on Indian Creek, he seems to have been a personal friend of Christopher Saur, the noted printer, and wrote occasionally for Saur's paper. In 1753 Saur published the following collection of poetry:

"Der wandehare bassfertige Blichtrater oder Seelsorger, wills zur Erkentniss seiner Trinden gekomen ist a sie besenest hat. (Appx). Geist liche ist andachtige Seider autgesetzt von Johannes Preiss."

He acquired land in Germantown, formerly of his grandfather, which he sold and in 1752 took up land, then in Antrim Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, now in Washington Township, Franklin County; a patent for the same was issued to him in 1765 by Thomas and Richard Penn:

"Dated Oct. 31, 1765

Consideration, 66 pounds, 16 shillings and 6 pence.

And under a quit rent on the same of one-half penny sterling per acre. Deed Book AA vol. 7, page 80."

Recites that a warrant granted March 29, 1750, to John Leatherman for 200 acres in Antrim Twp., Cumberland Co., who by deed poll Sept. 22, 1750, granted same to George Grubb, blacksmith of Chester Co., who by deed poll of Dec. 7, 1752, sold to John Price, then of Phila. Co., and whereas another warrant issued Dec. 11, 1750, was granted unto one Richard Ocain for 100 acres in said township of Antrim, but he not complying with the terms and conditions, became void, and whereas the said John Price having afterwards purchased the interest or claims of said Richard Ocain and the said John Price being thereby possessed of the same and of the said Leatherman's land, he procured a survey to be made on both the warrants which being returned, is bounded and described, as follows:

Beginning at a post; thence by John Wallace's land, East 13 perches to a marked Black Oak; thence by John Whitehead's land North 40 degrees East 233 perches to a Pine; thence by William Blakely's land North 5 degrees West 43 perches to a White Oak; thence by William Irwin's land Northwest 63 perches to a post; South 88 degrees West 65 perches to a Black Oak; thence by Frederick Foreman's land; South 86 degrees West 128 perches to a White Oak; thence by said Foreman's land and Jacob Hollinger's land South 4 degrees East 145 perches to a hickory grub; thence by said Hollinger's land South 47 degrees East 73 perches to a marked White Oak and South 14 degrees East 44 perches to a marked White Oak; thence by John Crook's land South 4 degrees West 105 perches to the place of beginning. Containing 430½ acres and allowance of 6%.

He also purchased other lands adjoining the above; Aug. 8, 1786 for a consideration of 1088 pounds he secured 284½ acres and allowance from William Irwin, part of a tract called "Dryberry", and by deed May 6, 1780, William Patterson for and in consideration of 8075 pounds granted him another tract.

He was an elder or bishop in the Conococheague congregation of the Brethren, which was organized not later than 1752. Their church building on the banks of Antietam Creek built 1892 supplanted a stone house erected in 1795 which had been added to in 1826 and 1830 on land above mentioned of John Price and was commonly called Price's Meeting.

Deed of John Price to Christian Royer and Andrew Freadly, Trusteees of the First Day German Baptist Congregation in Antietam, dated March 31, 1797, recorded at Chambersburg, July 3, 1797, in Deed Book 4, page 172, consideration ten pounds, conveyed one acre of land, one half from the "Dryberry" tract and one-half from the 430½ tract and reads as follows:

Beginning on a line between the said two tracts of Patented Lands at about forty perches from a Black Oak corner to said John Price and Frederick Foreman, the course South 22 degrees East at a stone; thence North 58 degrees East 11 perches to a stone; thence North 60 degrees, West 14 perches to a stone; thence South 68 degrees West 8¾ perches to a stone; thence South 22 degrees East 16 perches to a stone by the spring; thence including the head of the spring North 40 degrees East 6½ perches to the place of beginning. In trust for the only use and behoof of said German Baptist Congregation and never to be sold nor disposed of legally without the majority of the members of said congregation then in being, consent and agree to the sale and manner of conveying.

Annual meetings were held at Antietam in 1810; with George Royer in 1829; in 1847 with Isaac Deardorf and in 1866 with Jacob Price.

Apparently Elder John Price was twice married, his first wife evidently was dead before 1792, for in deeds dated 1792 and 1797 no wife joined in the conveyances but his wife Mary Ann joined in a deed dated Jan. 19, 1801.

Will of John Price, dated April 2, 1795, witnessed by James Crooks, John Price, and Abraham Price. Probated at Chambersburg, Jan. 27, 1803. To his wife Mary, he left a "comfortable residence", ground for garden, 2 cows, one horse of $60 value, house furniture not to exceed twenty pounds and two hundered pounds in specie. To daughter Hannah, two hundred pounds specie and personal property not to exceed thirty pounds specie. To daughter Elizabeth Miller, one hundred pounds specie. To the children of daughter Catharine Stover, two hundred pounds specie. To daughter Susannah Stover, one hundred pounds specie. To son Jacob, tract on which he lives providing he pays thirty-seven pounds, ten shillings yearly for 8 years making the whole three hundred pounds to use of the other legatees. To sons John and Abraham the remainder of real and personal property and appointed his son Jacob and son in-law John Miller Executors. The former only served.

The land taken up by Elder John Price by patent and purchase from Wm. Irwin was divided up into two tracts. In the settling of his estate the tract lying south-west of Price's church went to his son John, and the tract lying south-west of the church near the "Nunnery" in Quincy Twp., went to his son Jacob, who died in 1839, and this latter tract, containing about 300 acres, went to Jacob's son Jacob, and later to the latter's son Rev. Benj. E. Price and after his death to the daughter of Benj. E., Mrs. S. Catherine Bonebrake.3



He was buried in 1803 in Sharpsburg Reformed Cemetery, Sharpsburg, Washington Co., MD, Find A Grave Memorial# 156713166.
John Preisz was also known as Johannes Preisz. He lived on 7 December 1752 in Washington Twp., Franklin Co., PA. He was Elder of the Conococheague congregation of the Brethren, which organized not later than 1752.

BIRTH: HISTORY OF THE CHURCH OF THE BRETHREN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA, PG. 291.

From "A Genealogy of The Descendants of Rev. Jacob Price: Evangelist--Pioneer" compiled for The

Price Family Association by Geo. F.P. Wanger, The Evangelical Press, Harrisburg, PA, 1926:

"John Price (Johannes Preisz), b. Germany about 1702; d. 1724 or 1725. He was seventeen years of age when with his father he came to America. He was a weakly youth and his father feared he would not live to have issue. And yet so anxious was the parent to leave a name and posterity behind him that he encouraged his son to marry while still very young. It is said that an Indian girl, on account of her excellent physique and good health, was selected and became his wife.

This tradition in many forms has been firmly believed in by many of the family, though denied by others. The writer on one occasion asked Abraham H. Price, No. 2293, what he knew of it and he said that he often heard his father speak of the "Indian grandmother and it is not only tradition but truth." Abraham H. Cassel, the noted historian, informed me there was no doubt but that John Price's wife was an Indian maiden. James Y. Heckler, another local historian of note, said in 1888: "Her parents and family resided on the farm (Price's) in a log house on the other side of the Indian Creek, until the latter part of the last century or longer." Two children resulted from this union, Daniel 3, and John 4, the latter born after his father's death and the grandfather took them in his care, although he died before John reached his majority."

Excerpt from the History of Lancaster County by H.M.J. Klein Ph.D., 1926

MONASTIC ORDERS OF PROVINCIAL EPHRATA.

Reviewing the History of the Settlement of the Solitary at Koch-Halekung (Cocalico), Lancaster County; Also the Resultant Monastic Orders, by Edwin Melvin Williams.

"Accordingly, after the candidates for baptism had chosen Peter Becker to be their Baptizer, they were baptized in the stream Wiskohikung (Wissahickon), near Germantown, on December 25th, of the year 1723. And as these were the firstlings of all baptized, from among the high-Germans in America, their names shall here be recorded and given to posterity, namely: Martin Urner and his female house-mate, (his wife, Catherina), Henry Londes and his house-mate (Heinrich Landes and his wife), Frederick Lang, and Jan Mayle. The evening following they held the first Love-feast ever celebrated in America, at John Gomorry's (Gumre's), which created a great stir among the people of that neighborhood; Peter Becker,* * * * * ministered at the same.

At this, the first baptism by immersion held in America, "it was found that there were present seventeen persons who had been baptized in Europe. They were: Peter Becker, Johann Heinrich Traut, Jeremias Traut, Balser Traut, Heinrich Holzappel, Johannes Gumre, Stephan Koch, Jacob Koch, Johannes Hildebrand, Daniel Ritter, George Balser Gansz, Johannes Preisz, Johannes Kampfer, Magdalena Traut, Anna Gumre, Maria Hildebrand, and Johanna Gansz. These seventeen persons constituted the first Dunker congregation formed in America. They chose Peter Becker as their elder. To them were added ere that memorable Christmas Day ended the six persons baptized in the Wissahickon. Of the baptismal ceremony, Sachse writes:

Clear above the sound of the rushing waters and the rustle of leafless branches rose the solemn German invocation and the singing of the baptismal hymn composed by Alexander Mack, "Ueberschiag die Kost, Spright Jesu Christ, wann du den Grund wilt legen." Numerous as had been the mystic rites and occult incantations held on the rugged ravine and valley of this stream since the gentle Kelpius and his band settled there thirty years before, none were more fervent or brought so great and lasting results as this solemn rite upon the narrow strip of rock-bound land on the shore of the Wissahickon. There stood the administrator deep in the cold water. Before him knelt the rugged Alsatian. Thrice was he immersed under the icy flood. As he arose the last time the Segenspruch was pronounced, and Martin Urner once more entered the material world to become a factor in the religious development of his adopted country. His wife, Catherina Reist, was the next candidate, followed by the other four persons, the same scenes being repeated in each case.
