From: "RCMP Veterans" To: "Howard Horner" Subject: Stuckey # 1 Following is taken from my records;
Carolus STUCKI born 1684 Blieskastel, Breitfurt, Germany married Maria Barbara ? in 1709 and were known to have had 3 sons; John Jacob STUCKI born Aug 30, 1710 John George STUCKI born June 8, 1716 & Simon STUCKI born Nov 25, 1719 Blieskastel, Breitfurt, Germany and died Dec 26, 1785 Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland.
Record of our earliest 'Stuckey' ancestor is found in the book "18th Century Emigrants from German Speaking Lands to North America Vol II The Western Palatine' by Annette Kunselman Burget. Carolus Stucki was shown as a 'swineherd' (raised pigs) at Breitfurt, Germany.. Breitfurt is listed with BliesKastel and located just west of Zweibrucken in the Saar almost on the border of France. Jacob, the oldest son, and Simon, the youngest, sailed to America on the Ship 'Virtuous Grace'. The usual route for such emigration was via the Rhine River on scows - some 500 miles, to the Netherlands and then to sail from Rotterdam as in this case. The ship landed at Philadelphia in 1737. The ship records of passage for our two emigrants were shown as Stokie, then later when Jacob was married the name was shown as Stucky and for Simon as Stucki, later Stuckey. In various records Simon's family name is shown 'Stookey', 'Stuckey', 'Stokie', 'Stocki' and 'Stucki'. 'Pennsylvania German Pioneers' ' Original Lists of Arrivals in Philadelphia 1727 - 1808' by Strassburger, Published 1934, Vol 1 at page 176 List 46B states - 'Simon Stokie, age 18 and Jacob Stokie, age 27, came to America September 24, 1736 on ship 'Virtuous Grace', John Bull, it's Master, sailed from Rotterdam and stopped at Cowes, England, on the Isle of Wight, before embarking on the 7 to 12 week voyage to America.' Simon first settled Welsh Run, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. After his marriage to Barbara Fox (Fuchs) they moved to Berkeley County, Virginia near Martinsburg and later to Hagerstown, Maryland. Simon's wife, Barbara, and George Shaver were Executors of his Will and after his death, his widow and Shaver were married.
1. Simon Stuckey - note my difference birth/death above. You show wife Barbara FOX as daughter of Conrad FOX. Barbara FUCHS/FOX was born about 1739 supposedly in Pennsylvania and died Dec 24, 1804 in Hagerstown, Maryland. In all I have been able to find, the Conrad FUCHS/FOX closely associated with Simon and Jacob SHNYDER/SCHNEIDER/SNIDER did not arrive in America until Oct 4, 1751. In my view, Conrad and Barbara were clearly related but what I have found seems to be against Conrad being either father or brother. Of their children (your numbers)
3. Susannah died in Fayette County, Ohio. George BENTER is also shown as George PAINTER in many records. 4. Charles was born in Welsh Run, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. 5. There is a large STUDEBAKER family married into STUCKEY and SNIDER families but I cannot yet relate Margaret to them. You show Samuel as died 1795 while my records show his youngest child born in 1818? 6. Margaret PETERSON was born Oct 1, 1775 and died May 10, 1836. 7. David - you show his birth same as # 10 Simon. I have David's birth as July 6, 1772 in Berkeley County, West Virginia 9. Catherine 2nd name Rebecca. 10. Simon died Snake Springs (rest same as yours) - married MargaretLarry Dillon papers:
Simon and Jacob, brothers, came to the states in 1737 on the "Virtuous Grace" to Philadelphia. Their brother John (Johan) came over in 1735 and he spelled his name Stuckey. Another relative, Simon Stokie, came to New York in 1685. They were all refugees from religious persecution that was going on in Switzerland. They were Protestants, (Mennonite--Amish--Anabaptist--Swiss Brethren). The name is spelled Stucki in Switzerland. They moved into the Palatinate region of Germany where they were safe from persecution and spoke the same language. From there, they emigrated to the Colonies. Our line settled first in Lancaster Co., Pa. (which is Pennsylvania Dutch to this day.)
Then they moved on into what is today West Virginia (Grant and Hardy Counties.) They settled on a plantation owned by Lord Fairfax of England. He owned nearly 1,000,000 acres and :rented" parcels along the South Branch of the Potomac River. All of those early related families, Shaver, Reger, Shobe, Hire, Armentrout, Bush, Powers, Peterson, Hagler, Wise, intermarried with each other. Abraham Stookey fought in the Revolutionary War, 1776---there are other family members as well. A book called "Grant and Hardy Co. Histories" by E. L. Judy has a lot of info on the Stookeys, Shobes and other families we are related to in Virginia, including a copy of Jacob, Sr.'s will and Jacob, Jr. who lived with the Indians for 40 plus years. Jacob Stuckey also lived for a while in Washington Co., Md. On May 6 1766, Jacob Stuckey of Frederick County (Washington County had not yet been formed from Frederick County) sold his twenty acres of land called Long Meadows to Simon Stuckey (Land Record K-517) before moving to what is now the Petersburg W. Va. area sometime before 1773. On the date of Aug. 3, 1773, Jacob Stuckey took up Lot number 67, containing 240 acres, in the South Branch Manor (Marshall Survey) adjacent to the lands of Martin Shobe and along the river across from Petersburg. Mentioned in the land record are two of his sons, legatees, Abraham ( who was married by Rev. Valentine Powers to Clora Lanciscus) and Michael (who married Magdalene Hyre). Unmentioned is his son Jacob, Jr. (1740-1802) who had been captured by the Indians along the Conococheague in 1756 along with his 10 year old brother who later escaped. Sixteen years old when captured, Jacob lived with the Indians for 46 years until his return in 1802. He apparently lived with Wyandot Indians because there were "Stuckee" Indians families among them for many years (Streiff. n.d.105). Other children of Jacob, Sr. were: his daughter Margaret, who married Jacob Shobe; daughter Elizabeth, who married George Shaver and who lived in Rockingham County; and Sarah who married George Whetshone. That the Stuckey family continued its lengthy affiliation with the church is evident in obituaries published after members of the family migrated to Ross County, Ohio.
