Query: INGOLD, John William - Any information about him or his decendants.
He was a pastor at St. Paul's in
Amityville and also preached at St. Jacobs Lutheran & Reformed
and Paradise Reformed Church. I'm not sure
of his birth year but he was having children between 1791 & 1795.
Also, I believe his name was originally Johan
Wilhelm Ingold, but I'm not positive. Any information on Pennsylvania
Ingolds would be appreciated as I don't
believe that there were many of them.

E-mail: Carol Banducci
Query: Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me. Recently I found
a passage in the HISTORY OF BERKS
AND LEBANON COUNTIES. It was a story about a boy John SCHOEP that was
captured by the Indians and was
able to escape. My question is - Is this John any relations to SCHUPP/SHUPP/SHOOP/SHOUP/SHOPE
of
Berks, Lancaster, Dauphin Area? Here is the passage: " At the same
time, the Indians carried off a young lad,
named John Schoep, about nine years old, who they took by night, seven
miles beyond the blue mountain; where,
according to the statement of the lad, the Indians kindled a fire,
tied him to a tree and took off his shoes and put
moccasins on his feet-- that they prepared themselves some mush, but
gave him none. After supper they
marched on further. The same Indians took him and another lad between
them, and went beyond the second
mountain; having gone six times through streams of water, and always
carried him across. The second evening
they again struck up fire; took off his moccasins, and gave him a blanket
to cover himself; but at midnight when
all the Indians were fast asleep, he made his escape, and by daybreak
had travelled about six miles. He passed on
that day, sometimes wading neck-deep, in the direction of the blue
mountain- that night he stayed in the woods.
The next day, exhausted and hungry, he arrived, by noon, at Uly Meyer's
plantation, where Charles Folk's
company lay, where they wished him to remain till he had regained strength,
when they would have conducted
him to his father. He was accordingly sent home"+ + C. Sauer's German
Paper, March, 1756. Does this ring
any bells with anyone. If so please let me know the rest of the story,
Who was the other lad and Who were John's
parents if possible. Thank you for any help. Carol Banducci
