Andrew Shade

• Last Edited: 18 Jan 2019

• Floyd, Genealogical and Biographical Annals of Northumberland County, says:
  "Andrew Shade, great-grandfather of these three brothers, was a native of Berks county, Pa. He was the first of the family in Schuylkill county, settling near what is now Fearnot where he purchased a tract of land which he at once began to clear. He remained here all his active life and died upon his farm. His son John became owner of the homestead, but it is now in the possession of Reuben H. Shade, uncle of Daniel, Jacob and Richard."
  Mary Klingr (p. 338) says that Andrew, along with his family moved by wagon train to the vicinity of Fearnot, PA, sometime between 1796 and 1801, as their daughter Christina (b. 1800) was baptised at Klinger's Church, 11 Apr 1801.
  Tombstone at Klinger's Church: "Hier ruhet Andreas Schadt, wur geboren den 11 ten November 1764 und Starb den 6 ten Juni 1843; Wurde Alte 78 yahre, 6 monata und 25 tage."
• Andrew Shade was born on 11 November 1764, Berks County, PA.

Andreas Schade

• Last Edited: 5 Feb 2002

• Surname was probably originally "Schadt" and is sometimes listed that way in later generations (see Mary Klinger, p. 292). Andreas emigrated from Germany to America in about 1750. He served in the Revolutionary War. Mary Klinger's listing for Andreas's children (p. 337) is somewhat at odds with a numbr of Internet genealogies. Among the differences, Mary Klinger omits sons Nicholas and Philip, as well as having significantly different dates for the children born to Andreas's second marriage.
  
  Kathy Koehler (via the Internet) writes:
  "The father of Andreas is not identified, though Myron Lewis Shade in his 1931 genealogy names Hans Adam Shade who arrived in America in 1737 or 1738 as the father, but lists no proof. There is other evidence that Hans Adam was not the father of Andreas, as records exist that list three sons of Hans Adam as George b. 1742, Nicholas b. 1745, and Charles b. 1750.
  
  "Though his name appears mostly as "ANDREW SHADE" in "The Shade Family" genealogy authored by Janet Shade in the 1980's, on entry to America it is written "ANDEREAS SHAAD" or ANDEREAS SHAADT" (it is unclear due to an ink blot), however it appears that someone else signed his name as his mark "X" appears between his first and last name. His last name is sometimes also found as "SCHADT" (see Baptismal Records of Rev. John Casper Stoever (http://www.chm.davidson.edu/PAGenWeb/records/StoeverBaptisms.txt) but as early as 1759 (see 1759 land papers below) his name was recorded as "ANDREW SHADE". I have elected to record his name as "ANDREAS SHADE" Likewise, Andreas' wife is recorded variously as "MARIA" or "'MARY" with the last name either "KRAFFT" or "KRAFT"
  
  "Following is from Janet Shade's "The Shade Family" genealogy (published in the 1980's and now out of print):
  
  "SHIP LIST # 151-C: Penna. Archives, State Library, Harisburg, Penna. P. 91; List 45.6
  AT THE COURT HOUSE AT PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY 21ST OF AUGUST 1750
  PRESENT : Thomas Lawrence, ESQ.,Mayor
  
  "The forreignors whose names are underwritten imported in the Ship Anderson,Capt. Hugh Campbell from Rotterdam and Cowes in England, did this day take and subscribe ye usual oath to . . .
  
  "this list includes the name Andereas Schaadt (or Shaad, it's unclear)
  
  "His age at the time of his arrival in 1750 has not been established, but one source has him listed as born in Germany in 1725. Four years after his arrival in America he married Maria Elizabeth Kraft (Krafft (?)) of Bern Twp, Berks Co. PA.
  
  "Record of Reverend John Casper Stoever - Baptismal and Marriage, 1730-1779, printed by the Harrisburg Publishing Company, 1896: p64: Marriages: "February 10, 1754: Andreas Schaat and Maria Elizabeth Krafft of Bern Township."
  
  "Maria Elizabeth's birth and baptism was also recorded: p37-38: Andreas Krafft (Northkill) Maria Elizabeth, b. April 17, 1737; bapt. July 17, 1737, Sps; Heinrich Beyer and wife. (a margin note in the book: " Christ Little Tulpehocken or Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church near Bernville")
  
  "Several of the children of Andreas and Maria are also recorded in these church records.
  
  "Mary Elizabeth died about 1769 and on March 25, 1771 Andreas married Marie Eva Kettner (Ketner (?))
  
  "And again from Janet's book: "Andreas Schaadt settled in Tulpehocken Twp., Berks County PA. There he lived, reared his family, acquired a farm of 300 acres, died and was buried.
  
  "I have not been able to locate the gravesites of Andreas and Mary Elizabeth though it is very possible that they are buried in the cemetery of the REED'S LUTHERAN CHURCH AT STOUCHSBERG, which was founded in 1743. Though Andreas might be buried at CHRIST LUTHERAN CHURCH AT STOUCHSBURG which was built in 1786 .
  
  "Helene Kline Mooty, R 2 Box 8 Shady Grove Farm, Grundy Center IA 50638 in handwriten document date 8/6/1983 indicates "Andreas Schat "Revolutionary War Patriot" married Maria Eva Ketner. AND From a note on letter from Pat Bailey : "From DAR Patriot Index Andrew Shade b.c. 1725 d. 9-3-1788 m. 1. Marie Elizabeth Kraft 2. Maria Eve Ketner" This might indicate that Andrew fought in the Revolutionary War (though I have identified no documentation of such service) DAR application of Nancy Elizabeth Shade, dated December 29, 1967 lists: "Patriot Andreas Schad signed the Oath of Allegiance on May 25, 1778 before Peter Spycker in Berks Co., PA. Historical Society of Berks Co. PA"
  
  "From "History of Berks County Pennsylvania" by Morton L. Montgomery, 1886 . . . .
  
  "Pages 1083-1097 of this book are devoted to Tulpehocken Township (Tulpehocken; settled about 1707; incorporated 1729 while part of Lancaster Co.) and there records that "In 1759 Andreas Shade paid 2 pounds in property taxes --" . . .
  
  "Accordingly it is known that when Andreas first arrived in 1750 the area now called Reading PA had no houses but by Feb 1752 it consisted of 130 houses, 41 stables, 160 families consisting of 378 persons. The original population was principally German who emigrated from Wurtemberg and the Palatinate though the administration of public affairs was chiefly in the hands of the "Friends". During this period so many Germans arrived that the English did not like it. It was peaceful until the the French and Indian War from 1754-1763. By that time Andeas had just gotten married and was setting up house keeping. During those years about 200 peple were killed by the Indians along with the burning of houses, barns and crops in Berks Co. The years of 1755 though 1759 seemed to be the worst. ( It is a safe bet that Andreas had to keep his rifle handy at all times. )
  
  "Our immigrant Ancestor ANDREAS Shade was known as ANDREW as early as 1759, just 4 years after coming to America when he purchased land in Tulpehocken Twp Berks County PA:
  
  "LAND OWNED BY ANDREAS SHADE
  
  "Janet's genealogy indicates that Andreas had 300 acres. I have photocopies of land records for Andreas which indicate the following purchases:
  
  1 - 75 acres (50 in Bern Twp adjoining 25 in Tulpehocken Twp)
  2 - 64 acres "Shady Grove" 20# 17 S 6P date 1759

  (NOTE: The name on all of these documents is "Andrew Shade")
  
  Floyd, Biographical and Genealogical Annals of Northumberland County, states:
  
  "Andrew Shade, great-grandfather of these three brothers [Daniel E., Jacob M. and Richard A. Shade], was a native of Berks county, Pa. He was the first of the family in Schuylkill county, settling near what is now Fearnot where he purchased a tract of land which he at once began to clear. He remained here all his active life and died upon his farm. His son John became owner of the homestead, but it is now in the possession of Reuben H. Shade, uncle of Daniel, Jacob and Richard.
  "John Shade, son of Andrew, moved with his father by team from Berks county Pa., to Schuylkill county, settling near Klingerstown. He purchased a tract of land containing two hundred acres, on which he farmed, and he became a well known man in his district. He died at the age of sixty-five years, and is buried at Klinger's Church, as is also his wife, Hannah (Hoffa). They had children: Elizabeth; Andrew; Jacob, who was killed while serving in the Civil war; Emanuel; Katie; Abraham; Polly; Louisa, who married John Lantz and lives near Seven Points, Northumberland county; and Reuben H., who now owns the old homestead near Fearnot.
  "Andrew Shade was born in Schuylkill county. When a young man he learned tanning, which trade he followed successfully for several years, having a tannery about four miles from Tremont, Schuylkill county. Selling out he moved to Snyder county, Pa., where he purchased a farm near Freeburg on which he remained for some time, in 1870 removing to Shamokin, where he remained about four years. His last days were spent in Schuylkill county, where he died in 1895, at the age of sixty-four, and was buried at the Methodist Church near his home. He married Caroline Stein, of that county, who died at Shamokin. They were the parents of the following children: Hannah married John Shoup and they live in Missouri; John is living in Kansas; Jacob M. is mentioned below; Savilla died young; Daniel E. is mentioned below; Alice married Emanuel Long, a merchant of Shamokin; Mary married Daniel Snyder of Shamokin; and Richard A. is mentioned below."
