Note that we show John Wunderlich as father-in-law of Frederick Wise (1772-1846)[66] and Henry Erben as son-in-law of Jacob Wise (1771-1853)[67], which casts doubt on our organization of the Wise family. [68]

A description of the church in Churchtown reports [69]:

Although the village of Churchtown or Allen was originally settled by Scots-Irish, by 1775 German immigrants were the predominant group. Along with other aspects of their culture, they brought with them their religion. It is believed they began construction of a church around 1790, although a congregation appears not to have been formally organized quite that early. The village of Churchtown grew about this building, with the churchyard or cemetery occupying a corner of what might have been called the town square. It was from this Lutheran and Reformed gathering place that the community took its name.

The earliest known public record of the church is found in the Cumberland County Courthouse. That record is the deed of April 18, 1795 from Jacob Wise and Anna Wise, his wife, to "the German Lutheran and Calvin [Calvinist or Reformed] Church." The irregularly shaped lot was "one-half acre and two perches" in size. References in the deed confirm that the "meeting house" had already been built on the tract. The land was said to be located in "Allen Township," as Monroe Township was not erected until 1825.

Prior histories of Mt. Zion tell us that the oldest located parish register was a small book on the fly-leaf of which was written "Kirchen Buch Aup [Auf] Yohr [Yahr] Christa [Christi] 1795"--"Church Book from the Year 1795 A.D." The book contained one entry for that first year. The record of the baptism of a child, Rebecca Weber, on the twenty-fourth of October.

On July 24, 1796, Pastor F. D. Shaeffer presided at a communion service, where nineteen persons communed.

After this, there are no known records until 1802, when the baptism of seven infants is recorded. On September 19 of that year, Pastor Sheaffer again presided at a communion, in which thirty some persons partook of the sacrament.

Subsequent records from the early nineteenth century indicate a period of fairly rapid growth for the church. In April 1825 sixty-two members communed. Just six months later, on October 22, 1825, seventy-eight members communed, and thirty-eight were confirmed, making a total communicant list of 116. On November 10, 1833, the communicant list reached 128.

Research Notes:

A biosketch of son-in-law William Line describes this family. [70]

This Jacob Wise (born 1750), son of George Michael Wise, lived in Allen Twp, married Agness, and died in Allen Twp in 1817. Uncle Jacob Wise (born 1708) had wife Sophia and died in Middleton Twp, Cumberland County in 1798. Uncle Jacob Wise (born 1708) had son Jacob (born 1744) who had wife Mary and died in Middleton Twp. It is a challenge to distinguish Jacob (born 1708) and Jacob (born 1744) of Middleton and Jacob (born 1750) of Allen in some land records and documents. It is plausible that I have made some errors in organizing the notes of these three persons and I would appreciate any corrections or further information.

Jacob Wise, reportedly, born 21 July, 1750 in Germany and died 24 July, 1817 in Boiling Springs, served with Captain Craig in the Revolutionary War. His wife was reportedly named Ann Bushy. [71]

1793 Jacob Wise was commissioned as ensign in the Cumberland county militia, for 7 years. [cited in letter at Cumberland Historical Society to Mr Kenower]

1800 Jacob Wise was commissioned as captain in the Cumberland county militia. [cited in letter at Cumberland Historical Society to Mr Kenower]
