Notities over Christian Heise

Christian Heise was born 20 May 1757 to John Heise and Barbara Yordy. Two spouse relationships are noted on the index card: Veronica Meyer and Mary Keefer. No dates are given for these marriages. The index card also notes that Christian Heise left Lebanon Township and moved to Canada. Source: Lancaster Pennsylvania U.S. Mennonite Vital Records.the first wife, and thus the mother of the four known children. Other trees have assigned Mary Keefer as the first wife, and mother of the children. Until a marriage record (or other definitive source) is found, we cannot be sure which is correct. For this reason, I have not merged the children listed under each mother, even though it is evident that they are matches.wife, Veronica Meyer died in 1814, and is buried with her husband in Whitechurch Stouffville. However, "The Trail of the Black Walnut" on page 226 shows Christian Heise and Mary Keefer arriving in Markham Township in 1804. Perhaps someone will locate a date of death for Mary Keefer, or a marriage for either of the wives, to establish which was the mother of the four children. an original member of the Markham/Vaughan district of the brethren in Christ Church, formerly known as River Brethren or Dunkard's. Christian Heise was the first Deacon of this church, which met in 16 different homes for a period of about 60 years.

One daughter married Bishop Samuel Baker, another married Peter Doner and the third became the wife of Geo. Brillinger. The son, Christian, married Nancy Witmer of Waterloo district. Called a mother in Israel, she was a good singer and often started the hymns. She was a staunch member of the Tunker church. Christian Heise was gifted in making up poetry and often wrote verses for obituaries and also on other lines. His house was one of the oldest and was one of the places where the general conferences were held, They held meetings there every sixteen weeks. The first Love feast in their barn was in 1857. In 1861 and 1867, Bishop Samuel Baker, his brother-in-law, also gave his barn for Love feasts. In those early days the barns afforded more accommodation. The first Love feast was held in 1851. Another brother-in-law gave his house and barn for similar meetings as did George Brillinger. Christian Heise had three sons and one daughter. The sons were Jacob, John and David, and a daughter, Betsy, were all church members. The daughter married Alfred Brillinger. Jacob united with the Methodist faith and lived at Stouffville. He was a skilled carpenter and business man. He operated the planing mill. D. W. Heise became a carpenter, skilled in his work and he and his brother, Jacob, built many houses and barns. D. W. Heise kept a store at Bethesda for a number of years and was the first promoter of the Bethesda and Stouffville Telephone Co. and held this position until his death in 1937. He became interested in bees and made a success in this business. In 1914 he was elected a minister of the Tunker church at Heise Hill. They commissioned him to mission work and he traveled a great deal, visiting India and Africa and other foreign lands. John W. Heise retained the old homestead and was accordingly a good farmer. He became a deacon in 1890 and was greatly reverenced. He contended strongly for things meek and lowly but paid tribute to those in high places as well. It grieved him to see the changing world and new things surging into church life.
