CASPER WINK THE DIFFICULTIES OF TRACKING ANCESTORS According
to the historical document titled: Descendants of MARGRETHA REED
1736-1822 and THEOBaLD WINK 1733-1796 The "F" or Wink Branch of
the Reed Family we find ·
“Theobold (or Dewalt) Wink was the oldest son of Casper and Gertrude
(Kemp) Wink. His parents were among the first settlers of the Maxatawny
Township, Philadelphia (now Berks County), Pennsylvania, region. The Winks
located there on the ancestor's coming to America in 1727. He (Casper Wink)
was in the first shipload of Swiss and German Palatines whose male passengers
came under the provisions of the new "Act of the Provincial
Council," of Pennsylvania, compelling "all male passengers above
the age of 16 years who come hither with the intention of settling
lands," to subscribe to the "Oath of Allegiance to the King of
Great Britain." The name of their ship was "William and
Henry," and the leader of the colonists was the Rev. George Michael
Weiss, a Reformed minister of the gospel. "And all male
passengers," that could and were not ill, "did march to the Court
House, subscribe and repeat their name," in compliance with the new law.
This was on September 27, 1727.” Well close
but not quite accurate. With a
little research we find the most prominent and consistent person in this
pilgrimage was the Rev. George Michael Weiss. (G. M. Weis) In the
historical documents titled: “A history of the Goshenhoppen
Reformed charge, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (1727-1819)" we find the history of the Rev Weiss and
his time spent in Pennsylvania we also find he arrived in the colonies
possibly as early as September 14, 1727 but not on the William and Henry as
recorded by Reed-Wink but on the William and Sarah and when you check the
passenger manifest of the William and Sarah you will find G. M. Weis VDM. Further we
find: ·
“As early as September 14,
1727, the Governor, Patrick Gordon, had called the Provincial Board together,
to inform them that there is lately arrived from Holland, a ship with
four hundred Palatines, as 'tis said, and that he has information they will
be very soon followed by a much greater number. ·
In answer to this concern the
board ordered, that the Masters of the Vessels importing them shall be
examined whether they have any Leave granted them by the Court of Britain for
the Importation of these Foreigners, and that a List shall be taken of the
Names of all these People, their several Occupations, and the Places from
whence they come, and shall be further examined, touching their Intentions in
coming hither; And further, that this proves that the ship William and Sarah
did not arrive on September 18, 1727, as has been wrongly inferred from the
list published in the Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol. XVII, p. 7.
This list was drawn up on September 18, but the ship had landed before
September 14, "lately" may mean a day or even several days earlier.
·
In consequence of this order
a signed list was laid before the board at its meeting on September 21,
containing the names of one hundred & nine Palatines, who with their
Families, making in all about Four hundred Persons, were imported into this
Province in the Ship William and Sarah, William Hill, Master, from Rotterdam,
but last from Dover, as by Clearance from Officers of his Majesties Customs
there ; And the said Master being asked, if he had any License from the Court
of Great Britain for transporting those People, & what their Intentions
were in coming hither, said that he had no other License or Allowance for
their Transportation than the above Clearance, and that he believed they
designed to settle in this Province. ·
This list of 109 Palatines,
as submitted to the Provincial Board on September 21, 1727, has been
published In Vol. XVII, of the second series of the Pennsylvania Archives,
pp. 7-8, but It Is so Imperfect and Inaccurate, full of typographical and
other mistakes, that it seems worthwhile to submit a corrected list. Such a
new publication is all the more justified because the list as submitted to
the board, indicates the number of people In each family, which figures,
though Important, were omitted In the Pennsylvania Archives. ·
The original list is now in
the State Library at Harrisburg, Department of Public Records, at present
(1914) in charge of Mr. Luther R. Kelker, who very
kindly allowed the writer to examine and copy the original list, as well as
others mentioned later. ·
The totals of the three
columns are said to be 126 -f- 92 -f- 107 = 325. But in reality the figures
in none of the columns have been added correctly. The correct totals,
supposing all the figures to be accurate, are: 118 -f 91 -f-108 = 317. The
whole number of passengers was, therefore, much nearer 300 than 400. ·
Of these colonists not more
than 51 actually appeared on September 21, 1727, in the Court House at
Philadelphia to sign the following oath of allegiance : ·
A comparison of these two
lists shows how carelessly the captain's list was made. The writer made no
attempt to ascertain the correct spelling of the names. He merely wrote down
what he supposed he heard when the names were pronounced to him. For Welcker he heard Wigler and in
a second case Wilkes. For Mill he put down Prill,
for Miller he wrote Milder. Schweikhardt he turned
into Swyger, Spengler into Springier, Rutschli apparently into Roedeull.
In some cases the scribal monstrosities are so great that no identification
is possible. No wonder that it is so difficult to identify immigrants, when
the captains' lists are so badly corrupted and the passengers' own signatures
are sometimes such awful scrawls that they need a second list as a key to
decipher them correctly. ·
The relation of Mr. Weiss to
these immigrants has long been doubtful. The question whether he was merely
their fellow passenger or the recognized leader of a colony could not be
determined till very recently. There are now three documents at hand which
answer this question. The first is the earliest printed report concerning the
Reformed Church in Pennsylvania, printed in Holland in 1731. It was submitted
in that year to the Synod of South Holland which met from July 3 to 13, 1731,
at Dortrecht. ·
In this report we find the
following statement about the religious conditions in Pennsylvania and the
coming of Mr. Weiss to America : ·
Wherefore, since the most
excellent Sir, distinguished through ability and learning, George Michael
Weiss, from Eppingen in the Palatinate, a candidate of Sacred Theology,
determined to apply the divinely granted gifts to this most laudable use,
that he might labor to the best of his ability for the extension of the
Kingdom of God, which is the kingdom of love; hence, after having devoted
himself to the fine arts of the humanities and to philosophy, he consecrated
himself wholly to the even sublimer studies of theology, in which he made
such happy progress in a short time that he was deemed worthy to be permitted
to undergo the examination for the ministry. In this he proved his diligence
to our Senate in such a manner that we not only hoped but were also confident
that he would someday perform a useful work for the Church of Christ. ·
Wherefore, since he announced
of late that he had conceived the plan with some of his fellow-citizens and
other friends, well known to him, to undertake a journey to the transatlantic
parts of the world, if it should please the Divine Providence to entrust him
there with the leadership of a congregational flock, to teach and to guide
them there, and since he asked that to that end he be fully inducted into the
spiritual office with the laying on of hands. ·
Therefore, since the purity of
his morals, his humility and especially his piety that flows from it, were
well known to us, and since our Senate was at the same time well aware of the
progress he had made in the knowledge of the theological sciences and in
thorough acquaintance with the sacred languages, we hesitated all the less to
grant his request since we could cherish the certain hope that the Chief
Shepherd of the sheep, to whom his own are well known, though they live in
the most distant parts of the world, would not withhold his support from the
undertaking of an honest mind. ·
Hence we have admitted him to
the office of the ministry of the divine Word and have ordained him by the
imposition of hands and by extending to him the right hand of fellowship in
the sacred ministry. ·
It now remains for us only to
implore God, the best and the highest, the ruler of the world and the church,
that He may prove himself to be the companion of his journey. May He bless
his labors most abundantly and whatever plans he makes, whatever labors he
undertakes, may He crown and advance them with the most desired success. ·

In view of this document
there can be no longer any doubt that Mr. Weiss was actually the leader of
the colony, at whose head he appeared in signing the declaration of
allegiance on September 21, 1727. At this point it is safe to assume these facts; one, the ship carrying
this group of new immigrants to Philadelphia was the William & Sarah not
the William & Henry; two, it arrived sometime in September 1727; three,
the leader of this group on the William & Sarah was Reverend George Michael
Weiss from Eppingen in the Palatinate and four, records were anything but
accurate regarding the ships passenger manifest and who took the oath of
allegiance. Where is Casper Wink? In the Reed - Wink history W. H. Reed states that on some old land
deeds in his possession “Casper Wink and his wife made only their marks, which were witnessed by
"Validin Dickenschied"
and "Jost Vollert"
which leads one to believe they probably couldn’t read either, therefore, my
guess is; Casper Wink arrived at Philadelphia on the William and Sarah as a
member of the group being led by the Rev. G. M. Weiss during September 1727
cataloged under a different name, which we now know was a common mistake, and
being unable to read or write he would not recognize the mistake. There was
on the ship a single man headed for the Skippack area of PA. named Christopher Wittmer who took the oath but
then seems to have disappeared? Christopher Wittmer, Casper Wink; one on the lists
one not, one disappears one produces a long history? Two different men or one
and the same, Whittmer or Wink what was his name? It doesn’t really matter what our name is, what matters is we are all
descendants of a God fearing man who came to North America, became successful
and well respected, was willing to fight to keep what he had and called
himself Casper Wink. Bill Wink bill@socminco.com |

Casper
Wink 1692 PENNSYLVANIA The Province of Pennsylvania, also known as the Pennsylvania Colony, was founded in English North America by William Penn on March 4, 1681 as dictated in a royal charter granted by King Charles II. The name Pennsylvania, which translates roughly as "Penn's Woods", was created by combining the Penn surname (in honor of William's father, Admiral Sir William Penn) with the Latin word sylvania, meaning "forest land." The proprietary colony's charter remained in the hands of the Penn family until the American Revolution, when the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was created and became one of the original thirteen states.
PHILADELPHIA:
IMMIGRANT CITY Fredric
M. Miller From the time of its founding in 1682, Philadelphia has been both an immigrant port and a city of immigrants. In fact, in 1683 when Dutch and German religious groups founded Germantown now part of Philadelphia they established the first settlement of non-British Europeans in any English colony. The city is 110 miles from the ocean, up a shallow bay and what used to be a winding river channel. The Delaware River froze often, unlike New York's harbor, and the ocean voyage from Europe to Philadelphia is 200 miles longer than the journey to New York. In national terms, Philadelphia was certainly most important as an immigrant port in the eighteenth century. Beginning about 1717, when the Provincial Assembly ordered ship captains to submit passenger lists to officials, there were true mass migrations of Germans and of Scotch-Irish directly to Philadelphia. In 1749, for example, 22 ships with a total of 7000 immigrants from the Rhineland made the seven-week voyage to the city. In all, about 70,000 Germans landed there before the Revolution and Philadelphia also received the largest share of the over 150,000 Scotch-Irish who migrated from Ulster to the colonies. In both groups, the majority were so poor that they had come as indentured servants or as “redemptioners" who had to work off the borrowed price of their passage. Many were thus forced to stay in the city, helping to make it the largest in the colonies by the time of the Revolution. THE WILLIAM & SARAH On September 18, 1727 Captain William Hill, coming from Rotterdam, docked his ship the William & Sarah in Philadelphia harbor with a list of 109 Palatines, along with their families making about 400 persons. No convicts on board.
space
Each adult passenger 16 years old or above was counted as one freight. Children 4-15 were counted as half-freights and were charged half the price of an adult for passage. Children under 4 were transported for free. The number listed next to each man's name was apparently the number of freights he was responsible for. If he came alone it was usually only one. If there were 3 freights, it might represent a husband, wife, and two children age 4-15; a husband wife, and child 16 or older; or some other such combination. These numbers can therefore give a general idea of the size of the family that was transported on the ship. If someone in the family died at sea, they were not counted in the number of freights for that family.
Casper Wink was in the first shipload of Swiss and German Palatines whose male passengers came under the provisions of the new "Act of the Provincial Council," of Pennsylvania, compelling "all male passengers above the age of 16 years who come hither with the intention of settling lands," to subscribe to the "Oath of Allegiance to the King of Great Britain." The name of their ship was "William and Sarah," and the leader of the colonists was the Rev. George Michael Weiss, a Reformed minister of the gospel. "And all male passengers," that could and were not ill, "did march to the Court House, subscribe and repeat their name," in compliance with the new law. This was on September 27, 1727.
Casper Wink's first home in Pennsylvania was in Maxatawny Township, Philadelphia County, but a short distance east of the present town of Kutztown, Berks County. There he took up lands from the Penns, and first under adverse circumstances he thrived at farming, but in time with the development of the country he became owner of several fine farms, as the records show, and under the leasehold plan was one of the first in the Maxatawny region to pay quit rent to the Penns. Theobold Dewald Kemp is said to have been the first white settler of the Maxatawny region. He was of German extraction, coming to America in 1720, from Strassburg, on the Rhine, and immediately settled in this locality. He was a Protestant, and he was accompanied to the New World by his two brothers, Thomas and Joseph, and two sisters. He settled on land that now belongs to Nathan KEMP, and there died in 1760. He had one son, George. Gertrude Kemp was Theobold’s sister. Casper Wink and Gertrude Kemp were married about 1727, the family record shows. Casper Wink and the Kemps were neighbors in Maxatawny. They were among the founders of St. John's (Hope) Reformed Church, in Maxatawny, now within the limits of Kutztown. The Rev. George Michael Weiss soon after his arrival in America wended his way up into the upper Perkiomen region. Thither many of his followers either followed or preceded him to locate, and there he soon became a noted minister of the gospel and assisted in the early organization of the Reformed Church in America, particularly in that section of Pennsylvania. As an illustration of the hardships and difficulties experienced in those days by the early settlers of this region, it is recalled that when the Winks first came to Maxatawny, the nearest grist and flouring mill was on the Perkiomen Creek, more than thirty miles distant. The nearest market to sell their produce was Philadelphia, some seventy miles distant, and the only way of making the trip to these places was either on horseback or in a heavy wagon over trails leading through the woods. Wagons then in the frontier settlements were but few and far between, and to simplify and overcome the difficulty and lighten hardships the neighbors "doubled up" and took turns in making the journey. In this way they gained their ends, eked out an existence, and with it all raised large families and prospered in a humble way. To make the trip to Perkiomen mill alone by this slow means of transportation meant a three days' journey by wagon. Wherever night overtook the teamster it meant camping for the night in the woods. In the morning after feeding the horses, the journey would be resumed and continued until completed. When the first settlers came into the Maxatawny region the Indians were there in numbers, for this country was their favorite hunting ground. As the white people cleared the lands for cultivation, the Indian took to the timbered land or the wilder region of the hills. The Indians were shiftless, and if the winter was severe the whites had to come to their relief with food, and in this way they lived in harmony and peace. If the whites were likely to be disturbed by roaming or marauding Indians from a distance, the friendly tribes would apprise them beforehand, so they could get together as a body and be prepared to receive the visitors. On more than one occasion in this way through mutual friendship surprises and massacres were avoided.

For some reason before he took his departure from this world, the elder Casper Wink recanted, and returned to his earlier faith, Catholicism, for just before his death he sought spiritual advice and comfort from the nearby officiating priest of the Catholic Church at Bally.

THEOBOLD DEWALT WINK 1733 Theobold Wink, the second child and eldest son of Casper and Gertrude Wink, was born February 12, 1733 in Maxatawny Township. He was raised there and died there in December 1796. His family was of the Reformed faith, and all were active members in St. John's (Hope) Reformed Church, of Maxatawny, now within the borough of Kutztown. Unfortunately the early record of this congregation is lost or destroyed. If this record could be found I feel sure it would give us much of interest about the Wink family of Maxatawny. Theobold Wink's courtship with Margretha Reed must have been conducted under difficulties. Their homes were thirty or more miles apart a wide expanse of wilderness between them-and no means of conveyance for travel other than by "taking it afoot," or "going on horseback," in making calls. Love in those days must have had its attractions and inspirations just like today, however difficult the pathway, for like bodies attracted each other then as now, and the goal was reached, for in due time they mated and were married. Theobold married Margretha (or Cretha) Reed, daughter of Philip and Veronica (Bercky) Reed, about 1756 at the New Goshenhoppen, Church Congregation, Montgomery, PA Margretha was born in 1736 in PA. She was christened 23 May 1736 at Salford Twp, Philadelphia Co. PA. She died about 1822 near Kutztown, Berks, PA and is buried in Hope (St. John's) Reformed Ch. Cem., in Kutztown with her husband. Records indicate they had 11 children. I have in my (Mr. W. H. Reed, Norristown, Pa.) possession several old, musty and deteriorated papers, representing deeds for lands that Casper Wink and his wife Gertrude conveyed to their son Theobold. One of these in its recital, made under date of "19th day of May, 1762," is for a farm of one hundred and fifty acres of land, "between Casper Wink of Maxatawny * * and Gertrude his wife," * * and their "son Theobold Wink." Casper Wink and his wife made only their marks, which were witnessed by "Validin Dickenschied" and "Jost Vollert." Valentine Dickenschied was a brother-in-law of Theobold Wink, they marrying sisters. Valentine Dickenschied and Eve Reed were married on April 22, 1762, only a month before this real estate transaction, and it now looks as though this bridal couple were visiting here on their honeymoon trip on horseback, with the bride's sister, Margretha Wink, in Maxatawny, and her husband thereby by virtue of circumstance became a witness to the real estate conveyance. The second land transfer from the parents to their son Theobold Wink was made in 1762, March 11, and comprised twenty acres adjoining the property just described. The deed recites that "Casper Wink" makes the transfer to his "son Dewalt Wink." This deed is signed only by the father. The first property conveyance to the son, Theobold Wink, in 1762, was the improved property or homestead of Casper Wink. There still stands on this property or homestead a comparatively modern stone house, which however, shows the marks of age, and which without a doubt replaced the old log cabin of the father, Casper Wink. This newer house, built on the colonial order, is two stories high, the walls are of dark brown stone and is pointed with white mortar; there is a double pitched roof, quaint in appearance, and at this late date for a house so old it is in an excellent state of preservation. Upon approaching the house one of its appealing features that strikes the eye is seen over the doorway before entering, a rather large rectangular-shaped walled-in stone, bearing this inscription :- THEOBOLD WINCK A. N. O. -1 7 6 3
The following information was obtained from the Berks County Historical Society at Reading, PA. May, 1930 and from Mr. Jacob D. Levan, Kutztown, PA. R. #1. Theobold Dewalt Wink, husband of Margaret, died intestate in1796. Letters of administration were granted December 1796 to widow Margaret and son-in-law, Jacob Levan. Margaret died 1821 at 84 years See "Reading Adler" of January, 1821. The original farm of Theobold Wink is now divided into six parts, some descendants still living there. The Levans and Winks were close neighbors in Maxatawny Township, Berks County and were owners of large tracts of land. (end) The colonies revolted in 1776, and under date of November 3, 1777, Dewalt (Theobold) Wink takes the "Oath of Allegiance" to the new government of the United States. He early joined the American forces in the revolt, and became a member of Captain George Kemp's Fourth Company, Second Battalion (Maxatawny Township), Berks County, Pennsylvania Militia. In the period of 1777 -1778 he paid a nominal fine for non-attendance at military duty as Dewalt Wink (Dewald Winck). Later he received depreciation pay from the state of Pennsylvania under the given name of Theodore (Theobold) Wink.* (2.) * Theobold

THEOBOLD DEWALT WINK 1776 Son of Theobold and Margretha (Reed) Wink. He was b. Nov. 7, 1776, at the old Wink homestead, in Maxatawny Twp., Berks Co., Pa.; d. Nov. 7, 1824, in Kutztown, Berks Co., Pa. Theobold Wink was raised at the old Wink homestead in Maxatawny Township, and received a good common school education. As a young man he drifted into Kutztown and learned the hatter trade with George Fister, afterwards marrying his employer's daughters, Catharine and Mary.
He succeeded his father-in-law at the hat and fur business in Kutztown. He had a hat store and manufactured hats and caps, not only for home sale, but shipped quantities to Philadelphia for the wholesale market. The pelts and furs that he did not use in his own factory he shipped to Philadelphia, disposing of them in the regular channels of trade. In the balmy days of hatters, who were to be found in all growing inland towns in the country's early history, hats and caps were manufactured by these tradesmen in large quantities, and it was a thriving industry or business. Theobold Wink thrived and prospered both from local trade and the jobbing demand. As his children grew old enough to assist, their services were utilized to meet the growing demand. Even after the death of the father the boys continued the business at the old stand until times and innovations made a change in the industry. The big factory that loomed up and its competition wrought havoc to these little enterprises and at last this competition with its machinery drove them out of business and closed their little establishments. Upon the incorporation of the borough of Kutztown, in 1815, Theobold Wink became one of its first council members. In his day he was one of the town's leading citizens in its progress and development. In all respects he was truly a public-spirited man. Theobold was first married to Catharine, daugh, of George A. and Margaret Fister who bore William, George, Jesse and Margaret. He then married her sister Mary who bore Daniel, Charles, Nathan, Charles Jacob and John Graff Wink. (3.) * THEOBOLD (DEWALT) WINK. Son of (2.) Theobold and Margretha (Reed) Wink. He was b.

Edwin Augustus Wink 1908 *Edwin Augustus married Lena Margaret Huston (b. 13 Sept. 1915) on the 13th of August 1939, in Neligh, NE. Two years later, they moved to Omaha, where he was employed as a security guard at the bomber plant until 1945. While living in Omaha they had their first child, Barbara Marie. After leaving the bomber plant they moved to Chambers, Nebraska where they became owner operators of a drug store. Times were tough in the rural sand hills of Nebraska and try as hard as they did; life in this area would not be where their future would lay. Two more children were born during this time, William Lewis and Margaret Le Ann. But by the winter of 1956 they were off for the golden state of California. Everything they owned packed up in the car and a small two-wheel trailer. Edwin had continued the westward movement started by his Great Grandfather four times removed. Edwin started in Pennsylvania where Casper landed so many years ago and took himself and his family all the way across the country to California. In California Edwin would work for his brother in-law at Guenoc Ranch until 1958, when he then went to work for The Corner Store in Middletown. He worked at this job until he retired in the spring of 1973. Edwin had found his home and lived out his remaining years in Middletown.
