Notes

Note N61Andrew Swartz was one of the founders of the historic meeting in Lower Salford Township, January 25, 1738. An old writer tells us that he was an unordained preacher of this church, and that he became blind while serving in its pulpit. This seems to have been in 1748, but for his remaining years he continued to farm and fulfill his ministerial duties. He was a witness of the will of Christian Stauffer of Salford Township, Feb. 26, 1735, and it is possible he married a sister of Christian Stauffer. (Boorse Family pp. 35-36) Records at the Heimatstelle-Pfalz show that Andreas and Abraham were brothers. They came together from their home near Mannheim or Worms, in the Pfalz or Palatinate. With Andreas were 2 "jungen Kindern, Christian and Elizabeth, and his brother Abraham." It is presumed Andreas' wife died before he emigrated. He mentions in his will his son Christian, "begotten by my first wife deceased," and his deceased daughter Elizabeth, "likewise begotten by my said deceased first Wife."

Arrived on the ship “Friendship” on October 16, 1727. It sailed from Rotterdam in June 20 1727. Shortly after arriving in Pennsylvania, Andreas remarried, to Barbara [likely Stauffer]. They settled in Franconia Township... (Ruth Schwartz Brown)

Andrew wrote in his will (that all posterity may know), "My last children have maintained me with my Estate ever since I became Blind which is for 18 years past and Esther hath abided and worked for me since she past her lawful age." This daughter was to live for 37 more years and never married.
