So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - Adam arrived with his daughter Maria at the Port of Philedelphia,aboard the ship Hampshire on 7 Sept 1748. From the book "Rhineland Emigrants, Lists of German Settlers inColonial America", Edited by Don Yoder and published by GenealogicalPublishing Co. Inc. 1985. we find the paragraph. Emigrants from the Year 1748 6. Friedrich Ploz (Plotz) and Adam Imhausser (Imenhauser) from Stadecken on February 3, 1748, received permission to leave for the"Island of Pennsylvania" [Insul Pinsylvanian], on payment of 15 and 10 florins for buying out their vassalage and payment of the tithe (tenthpenny). They landed at Phledelphia on the ship Hampshire on Sept. 7,1748 (Strassburger-Hinke, List 118 A-C) List A gived Ploz's age as 36,and Imhaussers as 25. {1} In order to leave his homeland, Adam was required to sell his propertyand pay ten percent of its value (tithe) to the state treasury. Adam'sproperty's worth would have been 100 florins. Adam lived under avestige of vassalage. Therefore, he applied for manumission as well aspermission to emigrate {2} He then paid 15 florins to be released. 1. Rhineland Emigrants, List of German Settlers in Colonial America,Edited by Don Yoder, Baltimore, Genealogical Publishing Co Inc, 1985page 781 2. Op Cit., Introduction, page x Adam's village, Stadecken (Stadecken-Elsheim) is presently locatednear Mainz in an area called Rheinhesson in the state ofRheinland-Pfalz. It is very close to the Rhein River an which Adamcould have traveled to the Port of Rotterdam. Frances Strong Helman stated that Adam owned 50 acres of land inWindsor Twp., Berks Cty, PA six months after his arrival and that hemay have lived there before moving to York Cty. Notes by Arthur Wayne Emehizer : The spelling of Immenhauser wasused in America only once on the passenger list when Adam came over.His name was spelled various ways on deeds and other documents afterhe arrived here. The name was spelled many different ways in thecensus records and land records etc. Thus the early names could havebeen spelled many different ways. The use of Immenhauser andEmenheiser and others are interchangeable. Some of the more popularspellings found in various documents are IMMENHAUSER, EMENHEISER,EMENHISER, EMENHIZER,EMEHEISER, EMINHIZER, EMAHIZER, EMEHIZER,EMAHISER. If the early spellings are wrong it is because of thevarious documents. We have tried to maintain the spellings as theoriginal documents have them but where there were conflictions, thethe name was spelled as most of the documents had them. Even betweenbrothers and sisters the name was spelled differently in some cases.In the Early Families where the spelling was not known for sure,usually Immenhauser or Emenheiser was used in this family history . ***************************************** Notes received from Gene C. Smith : --------------- Adam was born in 1723 based on his age of twenty-five when heimmigrated in 1748. It is assumed he was born in the village ofStadecken, Electoral Palatine Oberant of Oppenheim, Germany. He tookcommunion in 1736. About 1740 he married Anna Margaret who's last namemight be WILHELM. Their daughter, Christina, was born about 1740 inGermany. On February 3, 1748 Adam Imhauser (Immenhauser) and FriedrichPloz (Plotz) of Stadecken, Oppenheim, Germany received permission toleave for the"Island of Pennsylvania" [Insul Pinsylvaniam], on paymentof 10 and 15 Florins respectively for buying out their vassalage[obligation to render military service or its equivalent] and paymentof tithe [the tenth part of the annual produce of agriculture, etc,due or paid as a tax](tenth penny). This was granted by the formerElectoral Palatine Oberamt of Oppenheim which is south of the city ofMainz in the area now known as Rheinhessen, part of the present stateof Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany. From this we know that Adam and wifelived in Stadecken, along the Rhine, in 1748. Adam and Friedrich Plotz immigrated and took the Oath ofAllegiance on September 7, 1748 at Philadelphia, PA. They sailed fromRotterdam, Holland to Falmouth, England and then to Philadelphia, PA.It can be assumed they departed Holland in late June or early July. Where Adam first lived in America has not been determined but itis not unsual to spend five years as an indentured servant to pay theship's fare. On March 9, 1749 he warranted 75.5 acres north ofReading, PA. This land he will sell to Adam LUCKENBILL on May 8, 1773.In September 1754 Anna Margaret was born. On August 3, 1756 Anna Mariawas born. Both were baptized on September 26, 1756 at the Canadochlychurch, Lower Windsor township, York County, PA. The sponsors wereMichael and Maria Elizabeth Vallendin; and Henry and Anna Maria Wolff.From this it is reasonable to expect that Adam and family lived in ornear the Lower Windsor township area. In 1757 John was born. He willmove west and establish the western Emenheiser branch. In 1760 Jacobwas born. He will establish the eastern Emenheiser branch. Interestingthat no baptism record have been found for these two boy. There isreported two other children: Frederick and Elizabeth but I have nocross proof of this fact and doubt the validity at this time. On March 6, 1765 Thomas ARMOR conveyed to Adam 155 acres in YorkTownship and possibly 115 acres but location not noted. This is thebegining of many land deals Adam will make, which indicates a growingestate. On January 6, 1768 Adam sold 61 acres (p/o the 155 acres inYork twp) to John KRONE Jr for 20 pounds. At this time Adam lived inWindsor township and was a farmer. On Feburary 17, 1769 Adam patened26 acres 137 perches, called 'DRY HILL', in Windsor township fromThomas Penn and Richard Penn. On July 15, 1771 Adam sold 61 acres (p/othe 115 acres) to Charles MENGES for 26 pounds. Adam was still livingin Windsor township and still a farmer. On January 30, 1781 Adam was called as a member of the 6th classof Inhabitants of Windsor township to provide an able body (or serve)for the Continental Army to serve during the War. There is no recordof how this was satified at this time. On November 11, 1791 Adam bought two tracts of land totaling 70acres in Windsor township from Robert Bigham for 30 pounds. On May 30,1792 Adam sold 26 acres 137 perches, call 'DRY HILL', in Windsortownship to Col. Jacob Dritt for 75 pounds. Adams was still living inWindsor township but he is now called a 'yeoman'. The last landtransaction found was on June 5, 1794 when Adam purchased 120 acresfrom Robert Bigham. In 1805 or 1807, Adam and his wife died but the location ofburial is unknown. A word of caution about townships: York township was formed in1745, in 1758 Windsor township was formed from a part of Yorktownship, and in 1838 Lower Windsor township was formed from a part ofWindsor township. Some references use the present township but recordsuse the township as established at the time of the record. Example:Canadochly church was built in York township (1755-1758), then was inWindsor township (1758-1838), and then in Lower Windsor township(1838-present). Adams' house is still standing in East Prospect on the Bank HillRoad heading east from the square. The picture was taken in September1990 during my visit back there. -----end of notes of Gene C.
