Johan Christian Schell, from, the German Palatinate, is believed to have come to this country aboard the ship "Isaac", which sailed fromRotterdam, last from Cowes, arriving in Philadelphia September 27, 1749.
His brother, Johan Schell arrived in Philadelphia three years later in1752.
Both brothers settled on adjoining farms about 4 mile north of what is now the city of Herkimer, New York. At the time, their small farming community became known as Schell's Bush.

This history of the Schell family comes from a rare 1896 pamphlet and has
been transcribed from the original and contributed by Carol and Charles
Marston. The Schell brothers founded one of the most renowned early
families of the Mohawk Valley. Their story as written by Mr. Denissen
accurately reflects the times of the early settlers predating and during the
American Revolution. The original spelling and punctuation have been
maintained. For ease in reading, long passages have been broken up and

First Generation

In the beginning of the 18th century, a Mr. SCHELL was living on the
Rhine, in the city of Baden-Baden, in the grand duchy of Baden, Germany.
Amongst his other children, he had two sons, Hannes Krist or John
Christian Schell and Hannes or John Schell. These two brothers, in their
early manhood, left their parents and their home and came to America.

That country which is drained by the Mohawk river, was occupied from
time immemorial by the Mohawk Indians, as they were the fiercest, the
head of the confederacy of the Five Nations or Iroquois. This was a
beautiful country. The Dutch or Hollanders had penetrated it for the
purpose of trade, from the Hudson river, and Fort Orange, now Albany,
was built by Henry Christiaan, in 1614. Gradually they pushed their
settlements up the Mohawk river on the rich bottom lands, as far as
Caughnawaga. Beyond that point the first white settlers were Germans
who occupied the district known as the "German Flats." About the year
1709, three thousand Germans came over from the Palatinate or Rhenish
Bavaria and from Baden. Some of them settled in Pennsylvania, the large
majority of them ascended the Hudson river and found their way into the
rich valley of Schoharie-Kill, about the year 1713, and from there to the
German Flats, which place was settled as early as 1720. The settlers were
industrious and prospered in their new homes. Accessions from their
relation and friend in the Old Country increased their number to a
respectable district. All the colonial settlements West and South-West of
Schenectady formed the county of Tryon, set off from Albany county,
organized in 1772 and named after William Tryon then Governor of the
Province. This county was later on subdivided and part of it became
Herkimer county named after General Nicolas Herkimer who fell there in
battle in 1777, and had his home in that locality.

The Schell brothers, having arrived in America, made their way to the
German Flats or the Mohawk Valley, with the intention of settling
permanently among their countrymen of that district. They bought farms
joining and located upon them. Here they found their partners for their
new homes. John Schell married Barbara _____, and John Christian
selected Maria _____, who seemed to have been patterned after himself
for coolness and bravery. Both had large families: John Christian Schell
had three daughters and five sons, and in due time each of his sons raised
five sons to add to the desirable citizens of this new country. The
descendants of John Christian Schell moved to Canada and most of them
later to Michigan, Illinois, California, Australia and New Zealand. John
Schell had four sons and three daughters; his descendants remained
mostly in New York state. Besides his own
