     The will of Elizabeth Brown was filed 7 April 1857 and probated 5 May 1857 as follows:³

“Elizabeth Brown, her will by word of mouth made & declared by her on the twelfth day of February A.D. One thousand eight hundred and fifty seven in the presence of us who have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses hereto. My will is that first I direct that all my debts and funeral expences [sic] be paid as soon after my decease as possible out of the first money that shall come into the hands of my Executors from any portion of my Estate and that George W. Brown my son shall have the seven hundred & seventy five dollars that he has borrowed for three years from this date at four percent interest per annum & at the expiration of three years he shall pay it over to my executor & by him divided Share and Share alike amongst all the heirs & the one hundred dollars that that [sic] I loaned John U. Brown he shall pay it to my Executor as soon as it comes due & as to my household furniture my will is that it shall be equally divided as near as possible between Catherine Brown wife of George W. Brown & Fanny Brown wife of Samuel Brown & that no part of my household furniture shall be exposed to sale and I do hereby make and ordain John G. W. Smith Executor of this my last will & testament. In witness where of I Elizabeth Brown the testatrix have to this my will set my hand & seal the day and date first above written.

“Signed sealed and delivered in the presence of us who have subscribed in presence of each other
Martin T(?) Miller
Henry Fishel”
Elizabeth Brown signed by mark.

The death notice for Elizabeth Brown, formerly of Yellow creek church, Morrisons Cove, PA, widow of Jacob Brown (d. 18 Feb. 1854), died in Jefferson County, Iowa, 22 March 1857, age 75 y, 11 m, 14 d. appeared in the Gospel Visitor.⁴

John G. W. Smith, as executor, filed the settlement of her estate on March 21, 1859. Each of the following heirs received $115.95: Samuel Brown; John W. Brown; Geo. W. Brown; John and Elizabeth Burget [sometimes written as Bryant]; S[?--L is correct] Furry and H. Furry; and Jacob W. Brown. Another portion went to the heirs of Henry Brown who were A. S. Brown, Jacob S. Brown, and P. S. Brown who each got 38.65. Finally, the heirs of Sarah Replogle formerly S. Brown got $99.39. This accounts for eight children, further supporting the idea that Daniel and Mary had died young. Geo. W. Brown also got $97.21. It is not clear why he received this additional amount.

Additional detail is provided by some receipts contained in this file. In one, for $38.65 to John G. W. Smith, dated 20 Sept. 1858 from Philip S. Brown of Kansas City, Missouri, he describes himself as one of the heirs of Henry Brown dec’d who was son & Heir of said Elizabeth Brown. Another receipt is from Jacob U. Brown of Jefferson County, Kansas Territory, dated 17th Oct. 1858, for $115.95 from the estate of Elizabeth Brown of Jefferson County, Iowa, deceased. There must be additional records of this estate because some earlier notes made by Warren Manning, in the Jefferson County courthouse, indicate that Jacob B. Replogle got $16.50 and George B. Replogle assigned his $16.50 to Jacob Replogle and also that John Holler and Elizabeth Holler got 1/7 of 1/8 part, $16.56, as did Barbara Holsinger and Thomas Holsinger (“said Barbara being one of the daughters of Sarah Replogle said Sarah being one of the daughters of Elizabeth Brown decd”). The Holsingers acknowledged their receipt on 26 Oct. 1858 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Also "Henry Smith & Hannah Smith formerly Hannah Replogle & Henry Eversole and Sarah Eversole⁵ formerly Sarah Replogle all of South Woodbury Township Bedford County Pennsylvania Heirs of the late Jacob Brown's widow of Jefferson County & State of Iowa deceased have & each of us hath" relinquished their portions to J. G. W. Smith, administrator of the late Jacob Brown's widow, on 16 Oct. 1858. The six portions of $16.56 each ($99.36, total) account for the amount distributed to the heirs of Sarah Replogle but not for her full share. There might have been seven Replogle children (7 x 16.56 = 115.92), of whom six were Jacob B., George B., Elizabeth Holler, Barbara Holsinger, Hannah Smith and Sarah Eversole. However, if these last two shares were relinquished, why were they accounted for in the distribution amount?

     Elizabeth Ulrich was the daughter of Stephen Ulrich.¹
     This Elizabeth is of particular interest to Joan Schinbeckler. "It has to do with Jacob Shively Sr. born about 1747 who married an Elizabeth Ulrich. She would be connected with the family of Stephen Ulrich of Frederick County, MD who owned land called 'Stephen's Hope'. Deeds indicate that Elizabeth Ulrich became a part owner of that land, and Nov. 1768, presumably after Stephen Ulrick's death, 'Jacob Shively of Frederick Co. in the Province of Maryland, farmer, and Elizabeth his wife, late Elizabeth Ulrick' sold her parcel of land to Anthony Hartman. My question is where does this Elizabeth Ulrich Shively fit in?"²
     Jim DeFigh wrote of his support for identifying the Elizabeth Ulrich who married Jacob Shively as a daughter of the first Stephen Ulrick. "On [N]ovember 18, 1766 both Stephen Ulrick Jr. and Elizabeth Ulrick each acquired on the same day for 48 pounds 141 acres and 133 acres respectively of 'Stephen's Hope' from Nicholas Martin and Stephen Ulrick, Sr. Stephen probably made his final move from Frederick Md to Ten Mile in Washington County, Pa in the early 1770's (having sold the land he got from Stephen Ulrick and Nicholas Martin in 1774) and Jacob Shively Sr. followed to the same area a few years later.
"When Stephen wrote his will in March 1778 he named Jacob Shively as one of his executors."
"A month after the sale of the 274 acres to Stephen Jr. and Elizabeth, Nicholas Martin and Stephen Ulrick Sr. sold another 80 acres to Daniel Garver/Gaver, possibly a residue of the left over estate (I haven't yet fully reconciled the disposition of all the acres)."³

     Elizabeth Ulrich was born c 1757. She was the daughter of Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth (?). Elizabeth Ulrich died in 1834.
     She married Daniel Miller (1755 - 1822) and they were in Ohio by 1802.

     George Ulrich was the son of Stephen Ulrich.¹

     Hannah Ulrich was born c 1762. She was the daughter of Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth (?). Hannah Ulrich died in 1798. She married Henry Butterbaugh (ca. 1759 - 1839) and had eight children. He died in Washington County, Maryland.

     Hannah Ulrich married John Studebaker.¹ Hannah Ulrich was born on 20 May 1789.^2,3 She was the daughter of Samuel Ulrich and Mary Brumbaugh. Hannah Ulrich died on 18 Nov 1862 at age 73.^4,5 She was buried at Eaton, Delaware County, Indiana.⁶
     She married John Studebaker, son of Jacob and Mary (Snider) Studebaker. Hannah died in Oct. 1862 and was buried at Eaton, Delaware County, IN. They had fourteen (or more) children -- Samuel, Jacob, John, David, George W., Daniel, Stephen, Isaac, Mary, Elizabeth, Margaret, Catherine, Hannah, and Lydia.⁷ “The Studebaker Family” adds Phoebe to this list and states that after John died in 1833, at age 46, Hannah married Elder Benjamin Bowman in Indiana.⁸

     Jacob Ulrich was born on 13 Aug 1792.¹ He was the son of Samuel Ulrich and Mary Brumbaugh.¹
     He was not included in the 1800 census of this family and since neither he nor his heirs are mentioned in his father’s will, he probably died young.

     John Ulrich was the son of Stephen Ulrich.¹

     Lydia Ulrich married Jacob Lear. Lydia Ulrich was born b 1756.¹ She was the daughter of Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth (?). Lydia Ulrich died c 1810.

     Maria Ulrich was born on 3 Aug 1783.^1,2 She was the daughter of Samuel Ulrich and Mary Brumbaugh. Maria Ulrich married David Studebaker c 1800.^3,4 Maria Ulrich died on 14 Apr 1861 at age 77.^5,2
     The cover of the Spring 1972 issue of "The Studebaker Family" shows the Ohio homes of some of the children of Jacob and Mary (Snider) Studebaker including: David Studebaker (1780-1826) and Mary Ulrey (1783 - 1861); John Studebaker (1787 - 1833) and Hannah Ulrey (1789-1862).⁶

     Mary Ulrich was born c 1760. She was the daughter of Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth (?). Mary Ulrich died c 1842.
     She married George Butterbaugh (ca. 1759 - 1800). They had five children and lived in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.

     Samuel Ulrich was born c 1754. He was the son of Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth (?). Samuel Ulrich married Mary Brumbaugh, daughter of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh and Mary Elizabeth Angle, c 1780. Samuel Ulrich died in 1822 at Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Samuel and Mary are probably buried in the Brethren Cemetery at New Enterprise, Bedford County, but their tombstones are relatively recent. His stone says "Samuel Ulery, died 1822".
     Samuel and Mary were living in Frederick County, Maryland, in 1785 (see the deed quoted under his father, Stephen Ulrich), but it was not long before they moved to Bedford County, Pennsylvania. On 12 Dec. 1785, Samuel Ulrich and Jacob Brumbaugh received a warrant for 269 acres in Bedford County. Stephen Ulrich was issued a warrant on the same day and took up an adjoining tract.¹ On 10 May 1786, Samuel Ulrich and Jacob Brumbaugh received a patent for 289 acres of land in the south end of Morrison’s Cove, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, near the present town of New Enterprise. They called the tract Broomfield. In 1789, Samuel was taxed for 200 acres, 2 horses and 2 cows in Woodberry Township there. David, Daniel², Stephen and John (a single man) Ullery were on that tax list also.³ In the 1790 census of Bedford County, Pennsylvania, Samuel’s family contained 1 male less than 16, 1 male more than 16, and five females. These would have been Samuel and Mary, their son Stephen and daughters Elizabeth, Maria, Catherine and Hannah. Daniel, John, and Samuel were again taxed in Woodbury Township for 1795.⁴ The 1800 census of Bedford County shows the Samuel Ulrich family with one male, age 26-44 [Samuel], 2 females age 10-15 [Catherine and Hannah], and 1 female age 26-44 [Mary]. On 20 Oct. 1800, when letters of administration were granted to Mary Buterbaugh and Henry Buterbaugh on the estate of George Buterbaugh of Air Township, Bedford County, Jacob Studibaker and Samuel “Ulray” were sureties.⁵

Brumbaugh quotes a letter from Mary’s grandniece Barbara Snoeberger as follows: “Maria went for their cows one evening and became lost in the woods. The wolves came near her and she had to climb a tree. The family blew horns which she could hear, but, as she could not make them hear her calls and did not dare to get down from the tree, she was compelled to stay there all night. The wolves left in the morning, and she found she was in sight of her home where she had left a nursing baby.”⁶

Samuel Ulrich was an Elder in the German Baptist Brethren Church and perhaps was the first minister of the church in Woodberry Township. “For many years he was a noted speaker and the Elder in charge of the Woodbury Church.”⁷

Samuel and Mary were involved in the settlement of her father’s estate and are therefore mentioned in many deeds and agreements in Bedford County, starting in about 1804.

A Samuel Ulrich is listed in the 1810 census of Earl Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but he and his wife were age 16-26 and no children are listed. In the 1810 census, a Saml "Wooleny" is listed for Bedford Township of Bedford County, Pennsylvania. He and his wife were both age 45 or over. The only other person in the family was a male, age 16-25.⁸

On 15 April 1812, Samuel and Mary Ulry of Woodberry Township sold to Jacob Brown, of the same township, part of Broomfield in Morrison's Cove on Three Springs Branch of Yellow Creek. This had been granted to Jacob Brumbaugh and Samuel Ulery and the Brumbaugh heirs had sold to Ulery on 16 March 1807. Another part was sold to John Forry on the same date.⁹ The 1820 census shows Samuel Ulrich in Woodberry Township, with Samuel and Mary, both over 45, another female, age 10-16, and a third female, age 16-26. On 28 Feb. 1822, Samuel Ulry and his wife Mary deeded to Jacob Brown (all residents of Bedford County), for two thousand and sixty one dollars and fifty cents, 257 acres on the waters of Yellow Creek in Woodberry Township.¹⁰ Samuel Ulrich signed in German and Mary signed by mark.¹¹ Samuel Ulerey (36 cents) and Daniel Ulerey (22 cents) both paid taxes in Woodberry Township in 1822.¹²

Samuel Ulrich’s will is filed in Bedford County as follows:¹³

“In the name of god Amen I Samuel ulrich of woodberry township Bedford County and State of pennsylvania being in full health and of Sound mind memory and understanding Blessed be god for the same knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die do make and publish this my last will & testament in manner and form as follows principally & first of all I commend my immortal soul into the hands of god who gave it my Body to the earth to be buried in a decent and christian Like manner at the discretion of my Executors hereafter named and touching sich [sic] worldly Estate wherewith it hath pleased god to bless me in this life I give and dispose of the same in following manner Viz

Samuel Ulrich signed in German. The witnesses were Daniel Leedy, Jacob Holsinger and John Holsinger, Jr. A codicil was added as follows:

“ I Samuel Ulrich of woodberry township Bedford county and State of pennsylvania do this twenty first Day of may AD on thousand Eight hundred and twenty two make and pulish [sic] this codicil to my last will and testament in manner following (that is to say) I give to my son in law Jacob Brown the mare I now own and to my grandson Samuel Brown I give my large German Bible and I do hereby Declare and order that my four Daughters named in my last will and testament pay each an equal part or Share of a Debt due by me to David Brumbaugh of Washington county Maryland the remaining part of my will and testament to be in full Virtue and it is my Desire that this my present codicil be annexed and made a part of my last will and testament to all intents and purposes in Wittnes where of I have hereunto set my hand and Seal this 21 Day of may AD 1822

“Signed Sealed published by the above named Saml Ulrich to be annexed to his last will and testament in the presence of John Holsinger Senr, John Forry”
Again, Samuel signed in German script.

This will was probated in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, on 5 August 1822. Daniel Leedy, Jacob Holsinger, John Holsinger, Jr., John Holsinger, Sr., and John Forry all appeared and “affirmed” that they had witnessed the documents for Samuel Ulrich who was of sound mind, memory, and understanding at the time the papers were executed.

On 30 June 1828 Letters of Administration, de bonis non, for estate of Samuel Ulerick, with the will annexed were granted to Henry Fluke whose sureties were Jacob Brown and George Claar.¹⁴

It is clear from this record that Samuel Ulrich died sometime in May through August of 1822.

The following is a copy of the handwritten records on the blank leaves of a Bible printed in 1776 at Germantown, Pennsylvania, by Christopher Saur (3rd ed.) This Bible belonged to Samuel Ulrich who willed it to his grandson, Samuel Brown, in 1822. Samuel Brown gave it to his daughter, Mary (Brown) Bowers. She requested that her son, Samuel Bowers, give the Bible to his daughter, Mary (Bowers) Adams. In 1963, Mary Adams, great-great-great granddaughter of Samuel Ulrich, allowed me to study and photograph this priceless relic in order to prepare this transcript. Sam Adams had this Bible after his mother died.

The combined effects of fading, water spots, and German script have made the records difficult to decipher. There may therefore be certain spelling errors here not attributable to the original authors. They have, however, left us with a more significant problem by not identifying the parents of the children recorded here. Since the records are of births prior to the time the Bible left Samuel’s hands, we may surmise that he asked his children to record their own families in his Bible.

The family born 1781 - 1792 is surely that of Samuel himself and the first birth does match that calculated for his daughter Elizabeth from her tombstone. The other three family groups would appear to be at least the first few children of three of the four daughters, Elizabeth Brown, Maria Studebaker, Catherine Snider and Hannah Studebaker. The list that begins with Samuel, born 27 Sept 1801, must be the children of Jacob and Elizabeth Brown since this date matches that in Samuel Brown’s own Bible. Jacob Studebaker (1800 - 1890) is given elsewhere¹⁵ as the eldest child of David and Mary (Ulery) Studebaker with his full birth date listed as 2 March 1800¹⁶. John Ulery Studebaker (1816 - 1901) listed as a son of David and Mary (Ulery) Studebaker and John Studebaker (1812 - 1891) as son of John and Hannah (Ulery) Studebaker.¹⁷ These hints have so far proven inadequate to assign parents to these children.

The list of children below is taken from the Ulrich Bible. Brumbaugh¹⁸ named only the daughters, but supplied additional information on their families and descendants. Note that the first two sons and first two daughters were named after their grandparents Stephen and Elizabeth Ulrich and Jacob and Mary Brumbaugh. This naming pattern is further circumstantial evidence of proper identification of this line.

     Stephen Ulrich was born c 1720 at Germany/Switzerland?. He was the son of Stephen Ulrich.¹ Stephen Ulrich married Elizabeth (?). The 1754 deed of sale of land to Daniel Ulrich shows that Stephen's wife then was named Elizabeth. This is about the time that their son Samuel Ulrich was born. Stephen Ulrich died c 1784 at Washington County, Maryland.²
     STEPHEN ULRICH, JR., was probably born prior to 1720 since he had land warrants in 1742. He was naturalized in Maryland on 4 June 1738.³ This record means that he was not born a subject of the British Crown. He was probably a native of Germany or Switzerland.

On 16 Feb. 1742, Stephen Ulrick, Jr., received two Pennsylvania warrants to take up 100 acres each. Lancaster County warrant No. 7 was "Situate on Indian Creek a branch of the Little Conewago Creek ..." When the Patent was issued in 1803, to John Thomas, the owner at that time, the land was described as being in Conewago Township, Adams County, Pennsylvania. Lancaster County warrant eight described the land on Little Conewago Creek as adjoining that of his father Stephen Ulrick.⁴ The land mentioned is about one mile south of McSherrystown, Adams County, Pennsylvania⁵, but was in Lancaster County in 1742, then was included in York County when it was formed in 1749 and in Adams County when it was formed from York County in 1800.

On 15 Nov. 1749, Stephen Ullery bought 150 acres in “Digges Choice” from John Digges, and on 3 June 1758, “Stephen and Elizabeth Wollery of Frederick Co., Md.” sold this land.⁶ On 21 April 1761, Stephen Ulrich made deeds that sold his 200 acres of York County land to George Wain or Wine. One tract had been sold to Jacob Stutzman by 1759 and Stutzman had sold to Wine. The deeds were made to clear the record.⁷ Stutesman explains how Maryland land, "Digges Choice", came to exist within the boundaries of Pennsylvania.⁸
     John Hale Stutesman⁴ has done a detailed study of the land, beginning with a 7 Aug. 1739 Maryland Land grant to Evan Shelby to take up 1000 acres called Maiden's Choice of which 279 acres was sold in various parts to Hans Waggoner of Frederick County. On 21 March 1749, a resurvey was completed for Hans Waggoner who added 156 acres of vacant land and who, on 24 May 1751, obtained a Maryland Patent for the combination to "Hance Waggoner of Frederick County" for 435 acres called "Germina" in "Manor of Conegochieg." On 25 Sept 1752, "Hans Willarac Waggoner" sold 235 acres of "Garmina" to Stephen Ulary and the remaining 200 acres to Walter Fonderbag (aka Funderbaugh). On 19 Feb 1754, "Stephen Ulary of Frederick County ... (and) Elizabeth (his) wife..." sold to Lodowick Miller 25 acres of Germina and on 31 May 1754 they sold 86 acres to Daniel Ularick, also of Frederick County. On 24 Sept 1764 a Maryland warrant was issued to Stephen Ulrich to resurvey the remaining 124 acres of Germany and this survey was completed and included some contiguous vacant land to make a tract of 694 acres called Good Neighbour (3 March 1766) and on 29 Sept 1767, Maryland granted a patent for 694 acres called Good Neighbour in Frederick County.
Then, on 16 March 1768, Stephen Ulrich (without wife, so perhaps deceased) sold four parts of Good Neighbour -- 60 acres to George Butterbough, 139 acres to Daniel Ulrick, 106 acres to Jacob Snider, and 40 acres to John Metzker. On 30 Dec 1773, he sold 25 acres of Good Neighbour to James McLaughlin. Then, on 17 Jan 1785, his heirs sold 322 acres to John Cushwa and on 25 Oct 1792, also the date on which John Cuswa was released from his mortgage, the heirs sold 5 1/2 acres of Good Neighbour to Jacob Sibert. This 1792 Deed does not show the places of residences of the six men now selling -- Samuel Ulery, Jacob Lear, Daniel Miller, Henry Butterbaugh, George Butterbaugh, and Jacob Stutzman -- but they all signed in Washington County Maryland. These records together account fully (but not precisely) for the acquisition and distribution of this property. (60+139+106+40+25+322+5 1/2 = 697 1/2).
      In August of 1754, Stephen Ulrich was appointed an overseer of roads in Conococheague Hundred, Frederick County, for 1755. Also, on 29 Sept. 1761, Stephen Ulrick and Nicholas Martin of Frederick County, Maryland, received a patent for 425 acres for which they had obtained a warrant on 27 Aug. 1759. This tract was called Stephen’s Hope and included a former survey, Much Grumbling, which had not been taken up by Jacob Funk.⁹

Jacob Stutzman had taken up an adjoining tract, Good Luck, in 1761.¹⁰ On 28 May 1763, Stephen Ulrich and Jacob Stutzmann attended a Great Council of the Brethren at Conestoga, Pennsylvania, perhaps as church elders.¹¹ On 10 April 1767, “Stephen Ulrick of Fredrick County, Maryland” and Jacob Stutzman were naturalized together in Pennsylvania.¹² They did this by affirmation rather than an oath, since their religion did not allow swearing even for this purpose. In 1773, Stephen Ulrick was a witness to the will of Jacob Stutzman and signed in German.⁴ Jacob died in 1775, in Peters Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and his widow married Stephen Ulrich about 1782.¹³

On May 1772, Nicholas Martin, Dunker minister to the Conococheague Valley Congregation, wrote that “Brother Stephen ... has now become more reluctant (to be ordained) because he thinks that he has become estranged to the brethren throughout the country because he became naturalized. Now I learned recently that he wishes to move and go away because his brother has already moved way.”^{14 15} This is supposed to refer to Stephen “Woller”, Martin’s assistant. John Ulrich¹⁶ had moved to Bedford County, Pennsylvania, prior to 1772, so “brother Stephen” may well have been Stephen Ulrich. John Ulrich (1755, 1768) and Daniel Ulrich (1754) had land grants in what became Washington Co., Maryland.¹⁷

On 25 March 1782, Stephen Ulrich and Hannah Stutzman filed a premarital agreement in Washington County, Maryland, (formed from Frederick County in 1776) “for and in consideration of a marriage intended by God’s permission to be shortly had and solemnized between the said Stephen Ulrich of Washington County and Hanna Stootsman of the same place.” The intent of this agreement was that the previous children of each would not inherit from the estate of the other spouse.¹⁸

The deed books of Washington County, Maryland, contain a record of an indenture in which the heirs of Stephen Ulrich sold some of their inheritance. A partial quotation from that record will show most of the genealogical content.

“This indenture made the seventeenth day of June in the year of our Lord one Thousand seven hundred and eighty five Between David Ulrich, Stephen Ulrich, Samuel Ulrich, Jacob Stutsman, Christina Stutsman, Daniel Miller, Elizabeth Miller, George Butterbaugh, Mary Butterbaugh, Henry Butterbaugh, Hannah Buterbaugh, Jacob Liear, and Lidia Liear all of Washington County and State of Maryland of the one part” for fifteen hundred and ten pounds sold to John Cushwa of the same county part of a tract of land called Good Neighbour which contained 322 acres. According to the recorded deed, David Ulrich, Stephen Ulrich, Samuel Ulrich, Jacob Stutsman, Daniel Miller, George Butterbaugh (Puterbaugh), Henry Butterbaugh and Jacob Liehr all signed their names (all in German except Miller) The five women all signed by mark. The thirteen people appeared before two Justices of the Peace on 17 June 1785 to confirm the deed and “at the same time came Barbara, wife of the said David Ulrich & Susannah wife of the said Stephen Ulrich & Mary the wife of the sd. Samuel Ulrich” and relinquished all their right and claim of dower in the tract sold.¹⁹ On 21 June 1785, Johannes Cushwa (German signature) mortgaged his purchase to David Ulrich, Stephen Ulrich, Samuel Ulrich, Jacob Stutsman, Daniel Miller, George Butterbaugh, Henry Butterbaugh, and Jacob Liear²⁰.

The list of Stephen Ulrich’s children, as given below, had been, by 1979, developed over the previous three or more decades by several researchers working on the Ulrich and related families. In the process of development, any references to original material and credits to contributors have been lost. Among the contributors were at least the following people: Calvin Ulry, George H. Liebegott, L. W. Shultz²¹, Mrs. Kenneth H. Roehl, Lela Eby, and John Hale Stutesman.

Daniel Ulrich, usually included in this list of children, has been omitted here. Neither he nor his heirs are mentioned in the 1785 settlement by Stephen Ulrich's heirs, although he was probably alive and certainly had living children at the time. It could be argued, however, that he had previously or separately received his inheritance. However, since he purchased land as early as 1754 and is supposed to be the father of “oldest daughter” Susannah, born 3 May 1759, who married Jacob Butterbaugh, he appears to have been too old to fit into Stephen’s family. Although all the birth dates in the list below appear to have been merely estimated and adjusted to present a consistent picture, the addition of a son Daniel who must have been at least ten years older than any of the other children does not seem reasonable. Daniel Ulrich’s will, made 2 Jan. 1781, in Peters Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and probated 4 Dec. 1792, in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, was witnessed by Conrad Brumbach and Hanns (John) Ulrich and is written in German. Chronologically, at least, this Daniel could have been the Daniel who was a son of Stephen Ulrich, Sr.

Of course, there are also younger Daniel Ulrichs, such as the one found in the 1800 census of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, who was born after 1755 and the one described by John Hale Stutesman who made his will on 10 March 1813 in Conemaugh Township, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. His will mentions his wife Susannah and ten children -- Elizabeth Markley, Susan Stutzman, Matlena Stutzman, Jacob Ulrich, John Ulrich, Christina Ulrich, Esther Ulrich, Mary Ulrich, Hannah Ulrich, and Sarah Ulrich (under 18 years old).²²
     Stephen Ulrich died circa 1784 in Washington County, Maryland. He married Hannah Stutzman "in 1782 and his heirs sold off some of his estate in 1785. His name 'Stephen Wolery' shows on a 1783 tax list, owning 324 acres 'part of Germany' 3 horses and 3 cattle. So I estimate his death ca. 1784."¹⁰

     Stephen Ulrich was born c 1700 at Germany/Switzerland.
     Jay C. Bisgard begins with a Stephen Ulrich born 1680 in Mannheim, Baden, Germany and died 1749 in Hanover, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Stephen's wife was Elizabeth Wagoner, born ca. 1688 in Germany. This couple had 6 children who were Stephen Ulrich (born ca 1710, died ca 1784 in Peters Township, Washington County, Maryland); Daniel Ulrich (born 1720, died 1792 in Bedford County, Pennsylvanis); Elizabeth Ulrich (born 1723 died 1802); George Ulrich (born 1724); John Ulrich (born ca. 1728, died before 2 March 1824 in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania; and Susanna Ulrich (born ca. 1729). This matches the names of those naturalized in 1738 (see below). Bisgard continues with the son, Stephen (ca/ 1710 - 1784) who married (1) Anna Magretha Makin 10 Jan 1729/30 in Schriesheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany; married (2nd) Elizabeth Greib (ca. 1720 - c 1780) ca. 1740 in Pennsylvania; and married (3rd) Hannah ________ who was born ca 1714 in Germany. Bisgard lists four children for Stephen Ulrich and Anna Margretha (Makin) Ulrich -- Daniel, Susanna, George, and John. He also lists eight children for Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth Grieg --- David, Stephen, Elizabeth, Christina, Samuel, Lydia, Mary, and Hannah Susan. These were all born in Maryland from 1746 - 1762. These match the names of the eight children included in the estate settlement papers of Stephen Ulrich. This son Samuel matches my ancestor, detailed later, but by reporting families from two marriages, he has combined the Stephen, Sr., and the Stephen, Jr., that I report below. I have not seen the evidences for these statements.¹
     The Ulrich lines in America probably began with several immigrants from both Germany and Switzerland who came to Pennsylvania in the early 1700s. One such record is that of Johannes Ullerich and Christopher Ulrik who arrived at Philadelphia on 2 Oct. 1727 in the ship “Adventure”.² Liebegott³ reports that Levi L. Ulrich said there is a tradition that four Ulrich brothers came from Germany in the early 18th century and settled in Pennsylvania. Elsewhere, he reports that Stephen Ulrich was born about 1700 in Germany, moved to Switzerland when quite young and came to America about 1725 to avoid military service. There were Ulrich land grants in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, as early as 1738. Stephen Ulrich, Jr., is mentioned in 1742. The earliest Ulrich estate record in Lancaster County is that of John, in 1758.⁴

Stephen “Ulderey”, of Baltimore County, Maryland, a native of “High Germany”, was naturalized on 4 June 1738 along with his children Stephen, George, Daniel, John, Elizabeth, and Susanna.⁵ “On 4 June 1738 Stephen Ulderey, a native of High Germany and now of Baltimore County MD was issued a patent in common with his children Stephen Jr., George, Daniel, John, Elizabeth and Susanna.” [THIS QUOTE NEEDS A FOOTNOTE]

"When Stephen Ulderey naturalized in Baltimore in June 1738, naming his six children, 6 other close neighbors, all German from high Germany, all Planters, all associated with Digges Choice, naturalized that same day. There is a pattern to their declarations. None of them named a wife. None of them as near as we can tell named any children 21 years or older. All of them appear to name first their sons in birth order then their daugthers in birth order. All of the men appear to have been in this country for at least 7 years. (One actually arrived in September 1731 so was a couple of months shy and Adam Farney definitely arrived as early as 1722 and so had been in this country at least 16 years.) It appears that children born in this country after 1731, if by a German wife, were also naturalized, although if the couple had remarried in York they were not named. All of this leads me to believe that Stephen[']s four sons, Stephen, Jr., George, Daniel and John were named in birth order and that the four sons were born between 1718 and 1734 based on corroborating data. Stephen, Jr. between 1718 and 1720. George between 1719 and 1721. Daniel between 1725 and 1731. And John, the youngest, was born between 1729 and 1733. John Hale Stutzman has clearly proved through tracing land records that this John is the same as the one who died in Franktown, Pa. in 1804. I have been able to prove definitely (again through land transactions) that the Daniel is the same as the one who died in 1781 and who first bought land from his brother Stephen Ulrich Sr. in 1754 in Frederick County. The Stephen Ulrich Sr. is the same as the one who died in Washington county (changed from Frederick) in 1784 and John Hale Stutzman has again proved that this is the son of Stephen Uldery of Adams Co., Pa (the immigrant that naturalized in 1738)."⁶ Defigh later reported that two of Adam Furney's children naturalized in the 1738 group had been over age 21 at that time. This may weaken conclusions about the ages of other children naturalized in this group.⁷

Stephen Ulrick of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, was naturalized 5 April 1741.⁸ John Hale Stutesman felt that Stephen needed to be naturalized again in Pennsylvania because some of his land had fallen into Pennsylvania when the colony boundaries were redefined.⁹ Naturalization of foreign Protestants required a previous residence of seven years in the British Colonies in America.¹⁰

John Hale Stutesman of San Francisco, as a result of his research on his ancestor Jacob Stutzman, has shown a long term connection between the Ulrich and Stutzman families and has supplied much data on the early Ulrich line. He feels that both families were members of the Little Conewago Dunker Congregation which was formed near Hanover, Pennsylvania, about 1738 and mentioned that Morgan Edwards wrote, in 1770, that the congregation had been formed by “... Eldrick ... Stutsman” and others. This could be Ulrich and Stutzman.¹¹

STEPHEN ULRICH, SR., is the first identified member of the Ulrich line to be traced here. He was born about 1700, or earlier, probably in Germany or Switzerland, and was in probably in America by 1731, but no immigration record has been found. He is connected to our line by the fact that, when his son Stephen received land warrants in 1742, Stephen, Sr., was mentioned as his father.¹² Six children were naturalized with their father in 1738.
     Jim DeFigh refers to a Stephen Ulrich whose will was probated in 1778 in Washington County, Pennsylvania, saying "This Stephen was born about 1740 and is a different Stephen from either Stephen Ulderey who naturilized[sic] in 1738 and the Stephen Ulrich Sr. who died in Washington County, MD in 1784. ... it is my conjecture that he was a son of George Ulrich, who died in 1752, (making him a nephew of the Stephen who died in 1784) and that this Stephen had a sister named Elizabeth who married Jacob Shively Sr. in about 1767; Both this Stephen and Elizabeth were sold land by the older Stephen (died 1784) and Nicholas Martin in 1766; Later this Stephen moved to 10 mile district in western Pennsylvania, as did Jacob Shively Sr., the husband of Elizabeth Ulrich. This Jacob Shively was named as an administrator in the will of Stephen Ulrich (who wrote his will in 1778)". This will is a document I have not seen.⁷

     Stephen Ulrich was born in 1750. He was the son of Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth (?). Stephen Ulrich died in 1835.
     This is probably the one in the 1790 census of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. He married Susanna Rench (ca. 1760 - 1815). Bedford County, Pennsylvania, Deed Book AA, p. 332, states that Stephen and Susanna Ulrich of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, on 9 Aug. 1801, were selling land called Wilmington which he had been granted on 19 March 1799 -- 380.5 acres on Three Springs Branch of Yellow Creek in Morrison’s Cove. In 1802, he received a patent for land in Madison Township, Montgomery County, Ohio. His will was made in 1822 and probated there on 30 March 1836. His son Samuel was born in 1794 in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, according to a history of Montgomery County, Ohio.
