Notes for Abraham Gottleib Steiner and Salome Bürstler

1726 Abraham Steiner was born on December 7 in Lancaster County. [1] [2] [3]

1736 Salome Boerstler [Steiner] was born on June 5 in Oley, Pennsylvania. [4] [5]

1745 Abraham Stoner Jr of Warwick Twp, Lancaster County, purchased land, on September 25, from Thomas Penn and the widow of Thomas Freame, and others. The 236 acres of land was part of a 10,000 acre tract granted by patent to Thomas Freame, merchant of London [6]. The tract was adjacent to land of William Parsons on a branch of Little Swaha? Creek. [7]

1749 Abraham Gottlieb Steiner, son of Abraham and Maria Steiner, was baptized on January 15, 1749 by J.C.F. Cammerhoff, at the Moravian Church in Bethlehem, Northampton County. [8]

Abraham Steiner was a blacksmith at Schoeneck in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [9]

1756 A "catalogue of all the men, women, and children who, for the present, belong to the Bethlehem Economy, 1756" named, among many others, single men Abraham Steiner and Jacob Steiner; Single Women: Elisabeth Bürstler, Elisabeth Steiner, Salome Bürstler, and Magd. Steiner. [10]

1757 Abraham Steiner and Salome Bürstler were married by Brother Johann Ettwein. Their marriage was part of an unusual event. The Moravian Church in Germany had concerns about the lack of marriages in America and sent a Bishop to address the issue, resulting in simultaneous marriages at Bethlehem on the 20th day of April, 1757, when fourteen couples were married in view of the whole congegration, in the old place of worship, "Der Kleine Saal". [11] [12]

The authorities at Hernhut, being informed that matrimony was not properly encouraged among the Brethren and Sisters in America ; determined upon sending a visitation to the churches there; accordingly, the Rev'd Bishop, John, Baron de Watteville, was sent by the direction of the Unity's Elder's Conference, in Germany, to America, in the year 1756 or '57, his visit resulted in "The Great Wedding Act," at Bethlehem, on the 20th day of April, 1757, when fourteen couple were married, at the same time, in the face of the whole congregation, in the old place of worship, "Der Kleine Saal," in the second story of the "Gemein Haus," sometimes called the "Minister's House." The names of the couples married, and the ministers, performing the ceremony, were as follows, viz:
… 11. Salome Buerstler to Abraham Steiner by the Rev'd John Ettwein. …

The ceremony was called "The lesser great wedding" and was described as follows [13]:

The 'Act' was preceded by the entrance of the fourteen couples, accompanied by ministers, which the account says, 'Was a very respectable prospect': while the trumpets and trombones were played. The Liturgy No. 92, from the Moravian Liturgy book, was then sung:

'Wie bring ich's doch zu wege',

by the choir, till the second verse when the whole congegration joined in. Then followed an address by 'Brother Joseph' (Spanenberg), upon the text of the day" 'I am the Vine, you the branches', after which the entire congegration arose, and sung the hymn:
'Ach Gott du Keusches Lammelin'.

During the singing the fourteen couples were united in marriage, in the order given, and Bishop Spanenberg then imparted the blessing of the church upon the newly married people, to which the congegration responded 'Amen'. Then followed congratulations, refreshments and an intermission; after which the newly married couples, and the married people of the congegration, assembled together, and were entertained by some musical performers. …

1757 An update to the list of people of Bethlehem, which was originally made in 1756, noted that Abraham Steiner was since married. [14]

1759 A tract of 80 acres in Warwick Twp was surveyed for Abraham Steiner, on April 26. [15] [16] The tract was adjacent to Abraham Stoner's 1734 and 1737 tracts and adjacent to land of Peter Huber and John Reigenback, as shown on the Penn Twp map of patents. Returned December 19, 1760. Perhaps Abraham Steiner, of Northampton County, was making arrangements about land from his father's estate in Lancaster County. Abraham received a warrant for the land dated April 26, 1759. [17] Abraham received a patent for the land dated April 29, 1761. [18]

1761 Johann Jacob Steiner was baptized on March 24 by Lembke at Nazareth, Northampton County. Abraham and Salome Steiner were perhaps his parents. [19]

1762 As described in a deed dated May 8, 1784, Abraham and Salome Stoner granted land in Manor Twp, Lancaster County to John Stoner. We suspect that Abraham and John Stoner were brothers and the land was from the estate of their father. [20]

1762 Abraham Steiner, blacksmith, and wife Salome of Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania sold land in Manor Twp, Lancaster County to Henry Schneider on May 6. One 292 acre tract on a branch of the Conestoga had been granted by Patent dated October 7, 1736 to Abraham's father, Abraham Stoner. [21] Another 57 acre tract in Lebanon Twp, Lancaster County was granted by Patent dated December 12, 1739. [22] Father Abraham died and was not yet a citizen, and the patent for the tracts was made by proprietary letter to heir Abraham dated February 27, 1762. [23] Another tract was granted by patent dated April 29, 1761. [24] The land was next to land of Ulrich Lype, Andrew Camera, and Peter Huber. [25]

1762 Abraham Steiner, blacksmith, and wife Salome of Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania sold 200 acres of land in Manor Twp, Lancaster County to John Plattenbarger on May 6. Land in Conestoga manor, Lancaster County had been granted by patent to Abraham's father, Abraham Stoner in 1736 [26]. Land in Lebanon Twp, Lancaster County was granted by Patent to Abraham Senior on December 12, 1739. [27] Abraham Senior died intestate and was an alien born out of the dominions and allegiance of the crown of Great Britain at the time of the patent, and eldest son Abraham (of Northampton) inherited the land. [28] [29]

1762 Abraham Steiner, blacksmith, and wife Salome of Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania sold 200 acres of land in Manor Twp, Lancaster County to Christian Hershey on May 7. The land in Conestoga manor, Lancaster County had been granted by patent to Abraham's father, Abraham Stoner in 1740. [30] Abraham Senior died intestate and was an alien born out of the dominions and allegiance of the crown of Great Britain at the time of the patent, and eldest son Abraham (of Northampton) inherited the land. [31] [32]

1762 Abraham Steiner, blacksmith, and wife Salome of Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania sold 200 acres of land in Manor Twp, Lancaster County to Abraham Hare on May 8. The land had been granted by patent to Michael and Catherine Baughman on February 20, 1738 and sold to Abraham's father, Abraham Stoner, blacksmith of Lancaster County. Abraham Senior died intestate at the time of the deed (apparently 1738) and was an alien at the time of the grant, and eldest son Abraham (of Northampton) inherited the land. [33] [34]

1772 Abraham Steiner, smith, was taxed in Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [35]

1772 Abraham Steiner received two warrants for land in Northampton County, 20 acres and 25 acres, on September 16. [36] [37] One tract was adjacent to land of Jacob Ruble. [38] One tract was in Plainfield Twp adjacent to lands of "united brethern", George Quier now Abraham Styner, Jonas Hartzel, and John Okeley. [39] [40] [41]

1775 Abraham Steiner of Schoeneck, smith, and wife Salome sold land to Jacob Ruble, on April 24. The tract of 6¼ acres 12¼ perches was in Plainfield, the westernmost corner of land reserved for Steiner by patent, adjoining Ruble's other land. [42]

1780 Abraham Steiner, blacksmith of Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County was assessed for £390. [History of Northampton 1877, page 74]

1781 Abraham Steiner dated his will on August 4, 1781. The will named his five surviving children as eldest son Abraham Jr., Jacob, John, Elizabeth, and youngest son Henry. The witnesses were William Edmonds and Jacob Clewell. Abraham's dear wife and his brother-in-law, August Henrich Franke were named as executors and guardians of his youngest children. In his will, Abraham directed that his executors were to have his land appraised and distributed to his heirs when his youngest child, Henry, reached age 13 years. The will was affirmed in probate court on September 10, 1781. Jacob Rulel also affirmed the will. [43]

1781 "Married brother, Abraham Gottlieb Steiner, died on 26 August 1781." [44] [45]

1781 At the time of his death, Abraham Steiner owned three tracts of land in Northampton County, Pennsylvania:

1) 71 acres, 106 perches, adjoining Nazareth tract. This tract was purchased by deed, 26 October 1765, by Abraham Steiner, Lehigh Twp, blacksmith, from Nathanael Seidel, Bethlehem, clerk and wife, Anna Johanna. The land was part of a tract that was originally patented on 28 October 1753 to John Okely.

2) 93 acres, 52 perches, adjoining Nazareth tract, land late of William Edmonds, August Henry Frank, Jacob Viock, Frederick Marshall. This tract was granted to Abraham Steiner on 4 October 1770 by George Quire.

3) 20 acres, 100 perches, adjoining Jacob Viock, Frederick Marshall. This tract was acquired by warrant dated 16 September 1772.

Abraham also owned a messuage, tenement, and two adjoining tracts of 10 acres-90 perches and 6 acres-113 perches in Plainfield Twp. bound on the south by Nazareth Manor, on the west by land late of Jacob Ruble, on the north by Nicholas Sheuermann, and on the east by Salome Steiner. This property was released by sons Abraham Steiner, Jr. of Bethabara, North Carolina, and John Steiner of Plainfield Twp to Jacob Eyerly, Jr. and his wife, Anna Maria, of Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Salome Steiner and August Henry Franke sold the tract to Eyerly for 30 pounds, by deed dated April 30, 1791.

1781 Abraham Steiner was buried on August 26, in God's Acre cemetery, Shoeneck, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The grave marker reports his birthdate as Dec 7, 1726. [46] [47]

1783 A funeral was held for Johann Jacob Steiner on December 9 (perhaps son Jacob, who was not named in Salome's will). [48]

1785 Salome Steinern received a warrant for land on March 12 in Plainfield Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [49]

1787-92 Salome Steiner was a party to several deeds in Northampton County. [50]

1787 Salome Steiner, widow of Schoeneck, Northampton County, Pennsylvania sold land to David Gold. Deed dated May 29. [51]

This indenture made this twenty ninth day of May Anno Domini One Thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven Between Salome Steiner of Shoeneck in the County of Northampton and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Widow of the one part, And David Gold of Plainfield Township in the same County of the other Part Witnesseth that the said Salome Steiner for and in consideration of Ten Pounds Lawfull money of Pennsylvania to me in hand well and truly paid by the said Daivd Gold his heirs and Assigns by these presents hath granted Bargained sold released and Confirmed And by these presents Doth Grant Bargain sell release & confirm unto the said David Gold his heirs and Assigns All that Certain Messuage Tenement and Tract of land situate lying and being Part in Bethlehem and part in Plainfield Township Northampton County and abovesaid State Beginning at a Post a Corner of other land of the said David Gold thence North Eighty three degrees West seven perches to a Post bounding upon a Road? and land of the Manor of Nazareth thence by other land of the said Salome Steiner north forty Perches to a post thence south Eighty three Degrees East & seven perches to a post a corner of other Land of the David Gold thence by the same south forty perches to the place of beginning Containing one acre and three Quarters of an acre [It being part of a Certain Tract of land of two hundred and forty one acres and Ninety perches and the allowance of six Acres per hundred for Roads &c which by Patent of late Honourable Proprieters of Pennsylvania dated the twenty eighth day of October in the year 1752 on Record at Philadelphia in Patent Book 1 Vol 17 page 1749 was granted unto John Okeley in Fee and which by sundry conveyances … unto David Gold by indenture bearing date the twenty second day of April in the Year 1783 upon Record at the Recorder Office in and for the said County of Northampton in Book F Vol 1 page 66 reference thereunto being had more fully and at large Appears and said tract of land with other land was by the said David Gold and his wife Catherine his Wife by Indenture bearing even date with these presents Granted and Confirmed unto the said Salome Steiner and said tract of Land was further conveyed and assured unto said Salome Steiner by all the heirs of the said Estate of Gottlieb Demuth by their indenture bearing even date with these presents in Fee Together also with all and singular …

1785 Salome Steiner received a warrant for 30 acres of land in Northampton County on March 12. [52] [53] The land survey, dated August 9, showed the tract was adjacent to land late of Abraham Steiner. [54]

1785-1788 Who were the two widow Steiners at this time? Salome was of Shoeneck, Bethlehem Twp in 1787 (Deed D1-430) and was of Plainfield Twp in 1790 (Deed H1-74) and was of Shoeneck in 1792 (Deed A2-221). Perhaps they were both Salome Steiner, taxed for lands in two places.

1785 Widow Steiner was taxed in Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [55]

1785 Widow Steiner was taxed in Plainfield Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [56]

1786 Widow Steiner was taxed in Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [57]

1786 Widow Steiner was taxed in Plainfield Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [58]

1788 Widow Steiner was taxed in Bethlehem Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [59]

1788 Widow Stein and John Steiner were taxed in Plainfield Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. [60]

1790 Salome Steiner of Plainfield Twp, widow and relict of Abraham Steiner blacksmith late of Shoeneck, and August Henry Franke, executors, sold land to John Didterick of Upper Mount Bethel Twp. The three tracts were situate in "(late Lehigh) Plainfield Township" adjacent to the Nazareth tract and land of Frederick Marshall Esquire. The succession of prior owners was described in some detail. Deed dated December 3. [61]

1790 John Didterich (Dietterick) received a mortgage for 500 pounds for the above three tracts from Salome Steiner (Henry Franke, executor for Abraham Stiner was also mentioned) on December 4, 1790. Salome Steiner and August Henry Franke had granted the tracts to John Deitterick on December 3 from the estate of Abraham Steiner, blacksmith of Schoeneck. [62]

1791 Salome Steiner of Plainfield Twp sold land to Jacob Eyerley Jr. Deed dated April 30. [63]

1792 Widow Salome Steiner mortgaged, on November 24, a property of messuage, tenement, and two adjoining tracts of (1) 51 acres-124 perches composed of 4 lots and messuage adjoining Manor of Nazareth, David Gold, Jacob Schultz, and others and (2) 17 acres-43 perches adjoining Manor of Nazareth, all in Plainfield Twp, to Jacob Eyerly, Jr. of Nazareth. The 51-acre tract had been purchased by Salome by deed dated May 29, 1787 for 190 pounds from David Gold, Plainfield Twp, tanner, and wife, Catharine.

1792 Salome Steiner of Shoeneck sold or mortgaged land to Jacob Eyerley Jr. Deed dated November 4. [64]

1795 Salome Steiner of Plainfield Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania dated her will on November 7, 1791. The will stated that her personal estate was to be sold and "equally divided between my three children John Elizabeth and Henry" and that the real estate was to be rented "until the youngest of my children shall be of lawful age". Land sold to John Deitrick by August Henry Frank and myself [Salome], executors of Abraham Steiner, was mentioned. After sale of the real estate the proceeds were to "be equally divided among my children Abraham, John, Elizabeth, and Henry". Jacob Eyerly Jr and Daniel Price were named as executors. Proved on February 14, 1795. Note that the 1781 will of Abraham stated that Henry was the youngest child, so perhaps Abraham was omitted from the first listing of children in Salome's will by error and Henry was the child still under age 21 when Salome wrote her will. [65]

1795 Salome Boerstler Steiner was buried on January 16, in God's Acre, Schoeneck, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. She was born on June 5, 1736 at Oley, Berks County, Pennsylvania. [66] Salome died on January 16. [67]

Research Notes:

Research uncertainty: Abraham's birth location is uncertain. Some secondary sources report he was born in Warwick in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Two interpretations of the inscription on his grave marker in Schoeneck Moravian Cemetery reportedly indicate that he was born in Longafter, Germany or in Warwick. I see no birthplace on the findagrave picture.

1844 Johannes "John" Steiner died on 6 Oct 1844 and was buried at God's Acre, Schoeneck, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Johannes Steiner was born on June 3, 1766. The Findagrave memorial reported that Johannes Steiner was a son of Abraham Gottleib Steiner. [69]

Son Abraham Gottlieb Stoner was a Moravian clergyman, Native American missionary, and school inspector. [70]

A biosketch of father Abraham Steiner reports [71]

Abraham Steiner settled in Lancaster County and had land granted him on October 7, 1735, and in Lebanon Township received a grant of other land on December 12, 1739. His wife was Mary __. She gave bond as administratrix of his estate in 1741, and put in a final account on June 10, 1743. He was never naturalized. His wife could not write. His son Abraham married Salome and removed to Bethlehem, Northampton County. He sold land in Lancaster County in 1762. Both he and his wife wrote in German script. By trade he was a blacksmith.

Abraham Stoner, spouse of Salome was discussed in an article by Samuel Wenger. Son Frederick Henry Stoner was named (Person S18). [72]
