Emigration from Germany took place in waves of migration during three major time periods:

-- 1683 to 1820. Causes of emigration were religious persecutions and economic hardships. Many were Protestants from the Palatinate area. They went down the Rhine River and sailed from Rotterdam in The Netherlands. Many arrived at the port of Philadelphia.

Donegal Township was under the jurisdiction of Ohio County, Virginia from 1776 to 1781

Pioneers of Crawford County, Indiana (pages 38-40) http://genealogytrails.com/ind/crawford/connections_iv.htm

One of the descendents of Sabra Jane Wood and Secor Mead was Stella Mead Brooks Chamberlin. Stella married first Levi Brooks and later Forrest Chamberlin. She died Jan. 10, 1986 and left three children, Mildred, Nadine, and Joe and her sister Nettie Frazee.

Stella wrote an article for "Crawford County Folk Lore' describing the early days of Alton in Crawford County. According to Stella, Indians were still in Crawford County when the first settlers arrived. The county still had a heavy growth of poplars and oaks from which the settlers built cabins.

Many pioneers bough land from the Government called Congress Land. The town was first called Nebraska and it was mainly a boat landing and a wood yard to supply wood for steamboats. This land and wood yard was owned by James Gaither who made the plat of the town and was recorded at the County Courthouse July 5, 1838. The town became Alton in 1848.

Stella describes the homes of the earliest settlers. The cabins were lit at night by fireplaces and lamps made by twisting a piece of cloth into a cord and placing it in a saucer of grease. It was dirty and smoky and candles eventually took their place and were used until after the civil war.

Because of the Indians settlers were reluctant to move into the area but in 1814 Henry Fullenwider and Daniel Boone came across the Ohio River at the Esarey Landing to look over a tract of land there. Boone was supposed to be friendly with a tribe of Indians who were camped in the area. The Indians were friendly and made a deal with Colonel Fullenwider for the ridge of land above the river west of Alton. Colonel Fullenwider became a leading citizen of Alton. He built a mill near his home and when the town divided the township into school districts in 1837 Colonel Fullenwider was elected for District #4.

Private cemeteries were normal in these early days but Colonel Fullenwider selected a site for a public cemetery. He has a section seperated from the rest by a stone wall. This cemetery also contains the grave of Jonathan Boone, a nephew of Daniel Boone. He died in 1830 and was the husband of Catherine Fullenwider.

Fullenwider also donated land for a school. The school was about a mile east of the Perry County line in the SW corner of Boone Township. School was held there until 1938 when children were taken by bus to Alton. Because of the lovely setting the school was sometimes called "Happy Hollow".

Other early pioneers were Aaron Brooks, who had a horse mill and ground grist for the neighbors and later a saw mill. Aaron is buried in Sheckell Cemetery.

Another Pioneer was James D. Mead who was born in Newburgh, N.Y. in 1823. He came to Indiana on a flatboat and landed at Little Blue River March 17, 1853. He had bought 640 acres of Congress Land. Mead taught school at the Cummings School on Mill Creek and served as squire for a number of years. The Mead home was a respite home for circuit riders of Methodist Ministers who travelled from one community to another.

In it's hey-day Alton was a busy place. River packets brought supplies for the town and there was a wharf-boat, a wharf-boat master, yardage for ties and timber. There were general stores, a saw mill, flour mill, canning factory, post office, drub store, doctors, barbers, a cobbler, blacksmith, carpenters, butchers, a livery stable, and artist. There were Mason and Old Fellow Lodges, both a high school and grade school and two hotels. There were Baptist and Methodist Churches and a Spiritualist Hall.

Alton became a recipient of the Maclure Library and the Women's Christian Temperance Union had a Library. A few of the old home still stand, the Peckenpaugh and Dunn homes which have beautiful staircases. The Peckenpaugh home is now owned by Charles and James Wood.

The Family History Continues with the Fullenwiders (pages 61-95) http://genealogytrails.com/ind/crawford/connections_v.htm

According to one family history the Fullenwider family does not go back in time more than 300 years. The founder of the family is supposed to have been a morgantic son of a nobleman of the royal family of Holland. He could not assume the name of his father and was named Fullwiler, meaning, in Low Dutch, a wild or strong colt. He was supposed to be a strong and active child. Either this Fullwiler or his son went into Germany, where the name became Fullenwider.

Another history states that the name of the family was Vollenweider, named after the village of Vollenweid which means "horse-meadow", a meadow where horses grazed. From this it may be gathered that the early Fullenwider family history is not very clear. In April, 1892 Dr Austin Fullenwider wrote a family history from notes he says were kept by his father. In her book "Bromwell Genealogy" (Denver, 1910) Henrietta Bromwell uses much of the information from Dr. Austin to verify her version of the early ancestors of the Fullenwiders in the United States. Mrs. Bromwell names the Reverend Peter Fullenwider as the ancestor who first came to this country. She names children of Peter who belong to another family. she did make some corrections in a later version. According to dr. Raymond Bell, a genealogist and historian from Pennsylvania, Bromwell may not have had all the court records from Washington Co., Pa. and from Frederick Co. and Washington Co, Md. that he had when he wrote his genealogy. He also used records from Shelby Co., Kentucky and Harrison County, Indiana to verify the facts in his book "The Dutch Fork Settlement of Donegal Township, Washington County, Pa." (1978).

Bell believes the original name of the family was Vollenweider and there were four family members who came to this country. He places arrival of Henry and Jacob, brothers, in 1749 and Jacob, a cousin, and his brother Ulrich in 1749 and 1743 respectively. Bell feels the repetition of so many family names and dates has caused some of the confusion concerning the early origin of the family. His genealogy places the Vollenweider family in 1500 in the village of Vollenweid in the Township of Bezirk Affoltern, Kanton of Zurich, Switzerland. They likely came from Kappel, 5 km. south of Vollenweid. According to Bell, in the town of Kappel there were several listed baptisms of Vollenweid children. Born to Jacob and Elizabeth Bar: Henry, 1722; Anna, 1725; Ulrich, 1727; John, 1730; Jacob, 1732 and Susanna, 1737. Children of Henry Vollenweider and Barbara Frick were: John, 1716; Anna, 1718; Jacob, 1721; Ulrich, 1723; Elizabeth, 1727; Susanna 1729; Rudolf, 1731. Children of Ulrich and Eva Geiger were: Hans, 1728 and Mary, 1730.

From other records Bell feels that two sets of brothers migrated from Kappel and that they were all grandsons of Ulrich Vollensider b. July 14, 1661 at Mettmenstatten, d. Jan. 23, 1733 at Kappel. He married Elizabeth Dubs, b. Oct. 30, 1659, d. December 19, 1732.

Their Children were:

1). Henry, who married Barbara Frick October 6, 1689 at Unter Rifferswil. Henry's children were John, b. October 11, 1716 who married Catharine Muller July 10, 1743; Anna, b. Dec. 21, 1718; Ulrich, b. March 13, 1721, d. Aug. 9, 1721; Jacob, his twin, who came to America in 1749; Ulrich, b. Dec. 5, 1723 and came to America in 1743; Elizabeth, b. Feb. 2, 1727; Susanna, b. March 13, 1729; Rudolf, b. Aug. 13, 1731 d. October 22, 1810.

2). Jacob, b. 1695, m. 1721 Elizabeth Bar

3). Ulrich Vollenweider, b. 1702, m 1727 Eva Geiger.

Bell says that in the List of Swiss Emigrants in the Eighteenth Century to the American Colonies there are two references to Vollenweider, a Henry Vollenweider (b. 1696 who was married first to Elizabeth Hirschmiller and later Elizabeth Schulther) who was pastor of a church at Rumlang when her reported on families that left for the Carolinas. A pastor of Kappel reported on April 25, 1744 that two groups had gone to Carolina in 1734 and 1739 and four young men left in April 1743 for Pennsylvania. On the same ship in 1749 with Henry Vollenweider were four persons named Bar. Bell feels that Henry was a son of Jacob and Elizabeth Bar Vollenweider of Kappel and that since Jacob Fullenwider or Maryland mentions Henry of Kentucky in his brother the relationship is fairly clear.

Henry Fullenwider of Kentucky is possibly the ancestor of this branch of the Fullenwider family. He grew up in Kappel, Switzerland. Henry is likely the Peter mentioned in Bromwell's Genealogy. In 1749 Henry emigrated with his wife Barbara and their baby. They were accompanied by his younger brother Jacob and his cousin, also called Jacob. The trip was a hard one and the baby died at sea. After trying Pennsylvania Henry moved into Frederick County, Maryland near Lewistown. Frontier wars made living here hazardous but Henry stayed on. When the wars were over he migrated again in 1774 and settled on the Western frontier of Pennsylvania. This was an area known as Dutch Fork and is now Donegal Township, Washington County. Henry taught school at the Dutch Fork settlement. At this point Henry's name became Fullenwider.

Henry's neighbors were Jacob Leffler and Jacob Rice. Henry Jr. claimed land on the creek in 1780. This area now became another war front and Indians attacked the forts in the settlement. Apparently neither Henry Sr. or Henry Jr. were present when Rice's Fort (north Claysville) was attacked by Indians in 1782. Son Peter Fullenwider and five other men successfully defended the fort but a child of Henry Jr. was killed in the attack. It should be noted that the D. A. R. has accepted the service of Peter Fullenwider at Rice's Fort (north Claysville) to establish eligibility for membership in the D. A. R. (Verna Wallace Tucker Ratcliff of La Grange, Kentucky, submitted an application including Bromwell's book and Shelby County records citing Ann Fullenwider, daughter of Jacob Fullenwider whose father was Peter as her Fullenwider ancestor). The dates do not coordinate. Those who plan to join the D. A. R. can probably use young Peter as the Revolutionary War ancestor since there are a number of written accounts of the Battle of Rice's Fort (north Claysville) but Peter's ancestry is still not certain. To add to the confusion there was a Reverend Peter Fullenwider who was a Presbyterian Minister in Texas starting in about 1831. He claims Jacob, son of the unknown or elusive Rev. Reverend Peter Fullenwider, as his father and grandfather respectively. ("Rev. Peter H. Fullenwider" by Edward M. Browder, a reprint from the Texas Presbyterian, Dallas, August 1916) So there is stil a great deal of verification for family members to gather. Other descendents of Ulrich Fulwider have joined the D. A. R. using other records and Bell's family history..................

This wonderful biography was researched and written by Lethene Parks of Hunters, WA. http://home.hawaii.rr.com/fullenwider/Dr.%20Samuel%20Fullenwider%20Bio ..htm The family story is that the Fullenwider family was of Holland Dutch origin, though other sources disagree. Henrietta Bromwell, in her Bromwell Genealogy,[v] quotes the story that was told to me by my father about the family?s origin: ?It is said that the ancestor who first adopted the name was a ?morganatic? son of a nobleman of the Royal Family of Holland, and as he could not legally assume his father?s name, he was called Full-wiler, or Veul-wiler, which meant in Dutch a wild or strong colt, he being as child and man of remarkable strength and activity. This Fullwiler, or his son, passed into Germany, where the name in High Dutch became Fullenwider.? She attributes the story to Dr. Austin L. Fullenwider, who was a son of Samuel Fullenwider. She further states that Austin Fullenwider stated that the story had been written down by his father, and ?stated that it was a tradition of his grandfather.? Amanda Fulenwider, in her book Torchbearers of Freedom[vi], says that the name is of Teutonic origin and means ?fullen? or foal, colt, or filly, and ?wider? or devoted to; hence the ?family devoted to the raising of horses.? She says the family originated in Bavaria. The Bromwell and Fulenwider books have long been the standard sources on the Fullenwider family. Both, however, contain some errors. In a more recent study on the Fullenwider family[vii] Raymond Martin Bell states that the family likely originated before 1500 in the village of Vollenweid, Bezirk of Affoltern, Canton Zurich, Switzerland and that the name of the village means ?horse-meadow,? a meadow where horses grazed. Bell?s book, too, has some errors, and he does not tie his sources to specific names, dates, and events. Whatever the family?s origin, it seems certain that the immigrant ancestor, Samuel?s grandfather, Heinrich Vollenweider (or Henry Fullenwider ) came to America from Switzerland in 1749, landing at Philadelphia.[viii] The family soon moved west to what is now Washington County, Pennsylvania, and from there to Shelby County, Kentucky, where Samuel?s parents raised their family and where they both died.
