Henry Derstine Hunsberger was a Deacon in the Mennonite Church here in South Cayuga. He was born March 14, 1811, died Nov. 6, 1890. He married Barbara FRETZ GAYMAN. She was born Dec 10, 1812, died Nov 27, 1859 They had 10 children. I have been to the South Cayuga cemetery to visit the grave of my great grandparents and some of the children are also there. I have recently met a couple of the cousins (a few times removed), but I don't know how many of the family are still in the area. I had planned on going to the Hunsberger reunion this year, and visiting the grave of Bishop Henry, but had to change the plans at the last minute. Have you ever gone to the reunion?
I am making plans to go to the reunion next year.

We are related. My ancestor is Abraham Hunsberger 1725 - 1783. He is your ancestor too. My ancestors did not leave Bucks County/Montgomery County Pennsylvania until the 1950's. I notice there is a Hunsberger Reunion in Sellersville, Bucks County in August. I have nerver gone, Is that the reunion you are referring to? I live in Anchorage, Alaska and fly back for 2 Reunion the first week of August in Bucks County. Do you attend a Mennonite Church? Have you always known of your Mennonite Roots?

Bio: Among the early immigrants was the progenitor of our branch of the Overholt family, Marcus Oberholtzer. As part of this migration, Marcus and his wife Elizabeth made their way to Germany, then to Holland. Here, they soon found themselves to be refugees in Queen Anne's War. Their only recourse then was to turn their heads west -- to the new world, America. Within one year, more than 6,000 set sail. Within this exodus, seven Oberholtzer families,likely related, came to America in the early 18th century.
Marcus and his family were in a group of 852 refugees from the Palatinate who were taken to London in a troopship departing Holland April 1709, arriving on May 3rd. The family remained in England for more than a year before traveling on. This was Marcus, his wife Elizabeth and five children: Jacob, Samuel, Nanny, Marcus and Elizabeth.
The family eventually arrived in America 23 September 1710 on the ship Mary Hope. Soon after reaching America they settled on a 500 acre tract on the west bank of the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania, across from Pottstown in present East Coventry Township, Chester County. The family prospered. The oldest list of settlers in Coventry Township were the tax rolls of 1718 which lists Marcus Overhult. He appears again in 1724.
Marcus died in 1724. Some of his sons held the farm in Coventry, while others migrated to Plumstead Township, Bucks County in 1725. Jacob,the oldest son is known to have farmed south of Deep Run Mennonite church there. Marcus and Elizabeth had seven children.

Richard Warren Davis stated, in "Emigrants, Refugees and Prisoners, Vol 1, 1995 (An Aid to mennonite Family Research)", "He died at Coventry Twp., Chester Co., PA in 1726. He was age 45 in 1709 when he arrived in London. His widow was living at Coventry Twp., in 1727 with her son Jacob. Mark and family arrived in England on 6 May 1709 and arrived in Pennsylvania in 1709 or 1710. He was mentioned in the 1715 estate settlement of William Fairman of Philadelphia. He settled on 300 acres in Coventry Twp., Chester County sometime before 1711 which he bought from William Fairman. Mark was married to Elizabeth who agreed in 1727 to have her son Jacob act as the administrator of her husband's estate. In Mark's inventory which was made on 21 Nov 1726 it shows that when he died he owned 300 acres and numerous farm animals."

Name: Marcus Dobler /Oberholtzer/
Grandson John Overholt (son of ?) attainted of treason and his mill was confiscated. He fled to Staten Island and died there. His wife was Elizabeth and he had a son Abraham

The OBERHOLTZER surname is a topographical surname meaning 'beyond the forest.' It was first adopted by a person who
lived on a mountain above the tree line but not on the top of the mountain.
The Oberholtzer family were Mennonites from Switzerland. They fled to the Palatinate, Germany to escape persecution for
their religious beliefs. The Palatinate was an area south of Worms located on the Rhine River.
Many Antibaptist (Mennonites, Brethren, Amish, ect.) farmers moved to Germany in the mid 1600s after the 30 Years War.
They were welcomed by the German Princes who had lost many of their farmers during the war. Hopes for a better life in
Germany faded in the late 1600s and early 1700s when life for them was made so difficult that many of them literally fled for
their lives. This is the reason that many of our early Antibaptist ancestors came to America.
Marcus Oberholtzer was probably born in Germany in 1664. When life became difficult in Germany, Marcus, with his wife and
children, fled down the Rhine River to Holland. They were housed there in temporary camps. He and his family were in the first
group of 852 refugees to leave Holland for England. They embarked on one of Queen Anne's returning troop transports in late
April and arrived at Saint Catherine's, London, England on May 3, 1709. We know this because a census was taken on their
arrival in London. His is the only Oberholtzer family on that census. According to this record Marcus was 45 years of age, was
married, had sons aged 10, 8 and 3, daughters aged 6 and 1, was a husbandman (farmer) and a Mennonite. The refugees were
housed in warehouses and money for their support came from Queen Anne although many of them tried to earn their own way
by getting some sort of work.
Marcus and his family crossed the Atlantic on the ship 'Mary Hope' which left London on Friday, June 27, 1710. The success
of the voyage of the 'Mary Hope' was unusual in that all passengers arrived safely - the usual death rate on such voyages
averaged 19 percent. They arrived at New Castle, Delaware on 23 September 1710 where they were met by fellow
immigrants who furnished them with food and drink. It is said that Marcus and his family then walked to Philadelphia.
Marcus Oberholts, Jno. Rudolph Bundelj, Martin Kundig, Jacob Miler, Hans Graeff, Hans Heer and Martin Oberholtz
received a land grant of 10,000 acres for the sum of 100 pounds. The survey for the grant was recorded on October 23, 1710.
Marcus' tract was located in West Lampeter Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
In 1719 Marcus and his wife Elizabeth received a warrant for 300 acres in Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
His name appears on the first tax list for Coventry Twp, 1720, and every year thereafter, except for the 1723 tax list, until his
death, intestate, in 1726. His widow paid the taxes on this property in 1727 and then the title was transfered to their youngest
son Henry.
