Foreword

I was re-reading my notes concerning the Dubbs family genealogy and found a handwritten
lineage chart that dated from 1942. The chart included the Dubbs connection to the
Eichholtz family. As I scanned the chart I noted that a Jacob Eichholtz (born 1776, died
1842) was listed as a "portraitist." His daughter, Anna Maria Eichholtz, married David Miller
and their son, William H. Miller, was recorded as an Art Professor and a "portraitist."

The lineage chart also showed that William Miller's daughter, Helen, married Henry Alfred
Dubbs, my 2nd cousin four times removed. Helen Miller was the great-granddaughter of
Jacob Eichholtz, the "portraitist." Thus, Jacob Eichholtz is the great-grandfather of the wife,
Helen Miller, of Henry Alfred Dubbs.

I researched Jacob Eichholtz and found he was the grandson of Johan Jacob Eichholtz
(1712-1760) who immigrated to America in 1731. This e-book discusses the Eichholtz family
and includes a genealogy report showing the connection of the Eichholtz and Dubbs
families.

I also discuss some of the portraits painted by Jacob Eichholtz and one by his grandson,
William H. Miller. Jacob painted over 800 portraits in his 35 year career. Many are owned by
museums all over the United States. In 1834, Jacob was commissioned to paint the portrait
of the 15th US President, James Buchanan (see page 6 and Chapter 12).

The report of the Descendants of John Jacob Eichholtz is in Chapter 5 of this e-book. Each
generation is numbered. For example, John Jacob Eichholtz is listed as number 1. His nine
children are number 2 through 10. In the following narratives, I will refer to these numbers as
I describe each generation.

Of particular interest was Jacob's portrait of Mrs. Pierre Louis Laguerenne. I researched her
genealogy and included the results in this e-book. Her maiden name was Eliza Helen
Beauveau, born 22 December 1798 in St. Dominique (French Haiti). She died on 30
November 1881 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is buried in the Laguerenne Plot at the
Woodlands Cemetery, 4000 Woodland Ave., Philadephia.

Chapter 8 begins the Dubbs (also spelled Dubs) Genealogy. The Dubbs Coat of Arms that I
included behind the title page was a handout at a Dubbs family reunion in the late 1990s. I
can not verify that this handout is the true Dubbs Coat of Arms. In this chapter, I discuss
selected Dubbs desendants. The narratives include the Rev. Joseph S. Dubbs, pastor of the
Zion Reformed Church and the Liberty Bell connection. The Dubbs genealogy I have
identified begins on page 32.

During my research, I consulted the following sources. I attempted to find at least two
sources for each entry. This was not always possible, so errors and omissions may exist. I
welcome any corrections and additions.

Chapter 1
Generation 1

1. John Jacob Eichholtz was born on 3 April 1712 in Neckarbischofsheim, a town in the
district of Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is situated 5 miles
northeast of Sinsheim, and 15 miles southeast of Heidelberg. He immigrated to America in
1731 when he was 20 years old and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Seven years later, he married Anna Catharine Reichert who was also born in 1712. They
were married in Lancaster County and had nine children.

John Jacob died on 26 July 1760 at the age of 48 years. His wife, Anna Catharine, died 12
years later in 1772. She was 60 years of age.

Generation 2

7. Leonard Eichholtz was the sixth child of John Jacob and Anna Catharine Eichholtz. He
was born on 1 September 1750. At the age of 22, he married Catharine Mayer (aka
Meyer/Moyer). She was the daughter of Abraham and Catharina Mayer. They had a son,
Jacob, who was born on Novemberer 1776 in Lancaster.

Leonard and Catharine owned and operated the Bull's Head Tavern on East King Street in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. After the death of her husband, Leonard, on 25 April 1817 at age
67, Catharine continued to operate the tavern. On the 8th of July 1829, a meeting of the
citizens of Lancaster was held at the public house of Widow Eichholtz.* At the meeting, the
Mechanics Society of Lancaster City was organized. A president, Hugh Maxwell, was
elected and the society's constitution was signed by 99 members.

Catharine's death date is unknown, however, she lived to at least the date of the town
meeting in her tavern on 8 July 1829. Leonard is buried at the Trinity Lutheran Churchyard in
Lancaster City. A search of these burial records has not resulted in identifying the date of
death or the burial site for Catharine.

_________________________________________________________________________
*The History of Lancaster County, page 435, discusses the 8 July 1829 meeting at Widow
Eichholtz's tavern at East King Street. It also states that the tavern was later torn down and
the Exchange Hotel erected at this site. The hotel was still in operation in 1865 but was later
converted into a mercantile house.

Chapter 2
Generation 3

16. Jacob Eichholtz, son of Leonard and Catharine, was born in Lancaster on 02 November
1776. Leonard and Catharine Eichholtz owned and ran the Bull's Head Tavern on East King
Street in Lancaster. They were a prosperous Pennsylvania German family.

At age 11, Jacob with his brothers attended the English School at Franklin College in
Lancaster. He also took lessons from a sign painter since his parents noticed his inclination
to draw, but eventually he was apprenticed as a coppersmith. After his apprenticeship ended,
he started as a tinsmith working with sheet iron. By 1805, Eichholtz opened his own shop in
Lancaster where he, "mended sugar boxes, tinned copper kettles, and made coffee pots,
wash basins, lanterns, stills, and funnels."

About 1805, Jacob Eichholtz married Catharine Hatz Michael, a young widow with two
children; they had four children of their own, Caroline, Catharine Maria, Rubens Mayer, and
Margaret Amelia.

It appears Catharine died before 1818, as in 1818, Jacob married Catharine Trissler of
Lancaster. They had nine children, Edward, Anna Maria, Elizabeth Susanna, Benjamin West,
Angelica Kauffman, Rebecca, Henry, Robert Lindsay, and Lavallyn Barry.

As noted above, Jacob was a coppersmith by trade. He turned to painting and achieved both
recognition and success despite being mainly self-taught as an artist. He is known to have
painted over 800 portraits over the course of 35 years. Hundreds of his works are housed in
art museums, historical societies, and private collections throughout the United States

In 1823, Eichholtz moved to Philadelphia where he, as he later wrote, faced both, "an
incessant practice of ten years, and constant employment." He was exhibiting with the
Society of Artists at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Eichholtz relocated back to
Lancaster in 1830 where he died on 10 May 1842 at the age of 66.

He and his family were originally interred at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on South Duke
Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In the early 1850s, Holy Trinity Church sought to expand
its churchyard, so the church relocated the majority of gravestones and the remains to the
new Woodward Hill Cemetery, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Lot 33 of Area B, including
the remains of Eichholtz and his family.

Jacob Eichholtz was reburied in the same grave together with both of his wives and their
children. By 2014, Eichholtz's gravestone, which was made of marble, had deteriorated due
to age and acid rain, rendering the inscription illegible. Local historians have called for the
restoration of his headstone, as well as the installation of a brass plaque at the grave site to
mark his achievements.

I researched a number of the subjects of Jacob’s portraits and found his portrait of Mrs.
Pierre Louis Laguerenne of particular interest. The portrait and the Laguerenne family are
discussed in Chapter 6. Below are three of the more then 800 of Jacob Eichholtz's portraits.

Generation 4

18. Anna Maria Eichholtz was the second child of Jacob and Catharine (Trissler) Eichholtz.
She was born in 1820 and at age 34 in 1854 she married David Miller in Lancaster. David
was the son of Samuel and Ann (Witmer) Miller and was born on 31 December 1795 in
Lampeter, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Anna and David had a son, William H. Miller,
born in 1854 in Lancaster.

David Miller was Sheriff of Lancaster County. He had a connection in 1835 to the
Underground Railroad. Two fugitive Negro slave women escaped his Lancaster jail to
temporary freedom. Sheriff David "Dare Devil Dave" Miller would testify in a Philadelphia
court a few years later that he didn't know anything about the escape. In those days, and
local officials in all the states were bound by the federal Fugitive Slave Law to arrest and hold
runaway slaves if they were identified.

The book, written by R.C. Smedley and published in Lancaster in 1883, tells the tale of Dare
Devil Dave, who admitted many years later he was the one to spring the women from his own
jail. Miller was a member of the anti-elitist anti-Masonic Party, and a staunch foe of capital
punishment.

Dare Devil Dave died on 31 August 1858 in Lancaster at the age of 63 years. Anna Maria's,
his wife’s, date of death is unknown.

Generation 5

30. William H. Miller, the son of David Miller and Anna Maria Eichholtz, was born in 1854 in
Lancaster. He married Mary Rebecca Welsh who was born on 2 February 1855. The
lineage chart by Constance (Dubbs) Good recorded that William, like his maternal
grandfather Jacob Eichholtz, he was a portrait artist. I have a photo copy of the portrait he
painted of his son-in-law, Henry Alfred Dubbs (my 2nd cousin 4 times removed). Constance
Good also reported that William was an art professor.

William left Lancaster and went to Denver to live with his daughter, Helen. He died in Denver
in 1904 at age of 50. He is buried at the Riverside Cem., Denver, Denver County, Colorado.

Generation 6

31. Helen Welsh Miller was born on 17 September 1879 in Ardmore, Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. When she was 43, she married Henry Alfred Dubbs* on 20 November 1922 in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Henry was born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania on 23 August 1868.

Henry received his Bachelor of Arts from Franklin and Marshall College, Pennsylvania, 1887
and his A.M.in 1890. He was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1890, and to the Colorado
Bar the same year. He relocated to Colorado.

In the 1900 Census for Pueblo city, Colorado he was a boarder in the home of the widow
Elenora J. Corson. In Pueblo city, he started a law firm, Devine and Dubbs. He relocated to
Denver in 1921 where he found a law firm with Henry Vidal.

Henry was counsel for various railroad companies, banks, smelters, mines, etc. He spent
many years over the controversy with the Colorado River water and the irrigation in the arid
West.

As mentioned in Chapter 3, Henry’s portrait was painted by his father-in- law, William H.
Miller. The next page is a photo copy of the portrait that is in the family’s possession.

Two years after she married Henry, Helen died on 13 January 1924 in Denver, Colorado.
She was 45 years of age. After Helen's death, Henry married Jules Wellens.

In 1937, Henry obtained his Doctor of Laws

On a trip to Pennsylvania, Henry died in 1939 in Lancaster, Montgomery County,


Pennsylvania. He was 71 years old when he passed. He is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Chapter 6
Mrs. Pierre Louis Laguerenne

As I researched the Eichholtz family and found the grandson, Jacob Eichholtz
(1776-1842), of the immigrant, Jacob’s listing included a notation, “portraitist.” Further
investigation revealed he was an accomplished portrait artist. Over his 35-year career.
he painted more than 800 portraits.

In 1823, Eichholtz moved from Lancaster to Philadelphia where he painted numerous


portraits for the next ten years. One of his portraits was that of Mrs. Pierre Louis
Laguerenne. Her husband, Pierre, was born in Manhattan in 1795 but moved to
Philadelphia where he married Eliza Helen Beauveau on 5 June 1821 in the St.
Augustine Roman Catholic Church in Philadelphia.

Eliza Helen Beauveau was born on the Island of St. Dominique (French Haiti) on 22
December 1798. Her Parents were John Peter Beauveau and Elizabeth Brown. Eliza’s
father was a plantation owner. The main crop of the plantation was sugar that was
harvested by African slaves. The White planters were outnumbered by the slaves by 10
to 1. Violence was used to control the slaves and to prevent rebellion.

In 1802, there was a slave riot. During the riot, Eliza’s father died. Her mother escaped
with her five daughters to Philadelphia where she established a fine boarding house.

As noted above, Eliza Helen Beauveau married Pierre Louis Laguerenne. The had
eight children. About 1823, Eliza posed for her portrait to be painted by Jacob
Eichholtz. Eliza was about 28 years old when she posed for her portrait. A copy of her
portrait is on the following page.

After Pierre died in 1859 at age 64, Eliza continued to live in Philadelphia at 1313
Locust Street* with her daughter, Sophia, and three servants. She died on 31
November 1881 at the age of 83 years and is buried at the Woodlands Cemetery in the
Laguerenne plot.

The Laguerenne genealogy can be found in Chapter 7.

Genealogy

Chapter 8
Generation 1
1. Daniel Dubbs was born on 5 October 1748 in Lower Milford Township, Lehigh
county, Pennsylvania. He was the only surviving son of Jacob Dubs.* About 1773 he
married Elizabeth Schwenk, the daughter of Johann Matthias Schwenk and Anna Maria
Dillinger. They had nine children.
Under the care of Daniel, the industries that his father, Jacob, started were greatly
expanded. After his marriage to Elizabeth, he built for his family a large brick home
(about 1775), which was still standing in 1894. According to undisputed tradition, it was
the first brick house built within the present limits of Lehigh County.

According to the "The Charcoal Iron Industry in the Perkiomen Valley, by Alfred
Gemmell, 1949", Daniel was a veteran of the American Revolution. He is my 5th
great-grandfather.

On May 12, 1782, at the age of 34, Daniel was elected as a Deacon to Great Swamp
Reformed church. He was installed by Rev. Friedrich Delliker.

His father's forge was enlarged. Sickles were produced in large numbers and
screw-augers were manufactured not many years after their invention by Judge William
Henry, of Lancaster. The business passed into the hands of his son, John, where a
large number of muskets were made for the government during the war of 1812.

A grist mill was built around 1800. It became well known for the peculiarly fine
buckwheat flour, which was a staple in the Philadelphia markets. He operated the mill
until about 1824 when his son, Daniel Jr., took over operation of the mill.

Joseph H. Dubbs recorded on page 17 in his "Annals of the Dubbs Family" that Daniel,
who was Joseph's grandfather, was a very large man. Joseph's father would tell him
that his father's (Daniel's) arms were as thick as his legs. His complexion was florid
and his eyes were large and blue. Joseph also recorded that Daniel boarded his
pastor, Rev. F. W. Van der Sloot, without charge for three years.

the Trinity Great Swamp UCC record.

20
In December, 1824, Daniel disposed of his real estate by selling it to his three sons.
John took the forge, Daniel, Jr., the mill and Johann Jacob the tannery. He died four
years later on 22 September 1828 at the age of 80 years. His wife died 10 years earlier
on 20 February 1818. Both are buried at Trinity Great Swamp UCC Cemetery, Lehigh
County, Pennsylvania.

Generation 2
12. Joseph Schwenk Dubbs was born on 16 October 1796 in Hosensack Valley,
Upper Milford Township, Lehigh County Pennsylvania. He was the last of nine children
born to Daniel and Elizabeth Dubbs.

Joseph was a witness to the baptism of Anna Maria Rothenburger (born Aug. 28,
1819) on Oct. 2, 1819, at the Great Swamp Reformed Church, Lehigh county. The
other witness was Anna Rothenburger. The parents were Johannes Rothenburger and
his wife Margareta*.

About 1820, Joseph married Susan Getz, a daughter of Nicholas Getz. She was born
in 1806 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. She had two daughters and a son, Alfred J. G.
Dubbs born on 8 Hune 1826. She died on 5 November 1836 in North Whitehall,
located about 10 miles north of Allentown, Lehigh County, PA. She was 30 years old.

On 21 September 1837, Joseph married Eleanor Lerch**, daughter of David and


Eleanor (Jones) Lerch. She was born on 24 December 1802 in Warren County, New
Jersey. Eleanor and two sons, Joseph Henry and Silas Paul.

Joseph was the pastor at Zion Reformed Church in Allentown for more than 30 years.
According to the publication, “A Complete History of the Dubbs Family” by Joseph H.
Dubbs, the Zion Reformed church was where the Liberty Bell was concealed during the
American Revolution (see Chapter 11).

Joseph died on 14 April 1877 at age 81. His second wife, Eleanor, died 14 years later
on 29 January 1891. She was 89. Both Joseph and Eleanor are buried at Union-West
End Cemetery, Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.

Chapter 9
Generation 3

28. Daniel L. Dubbs was born in 1838 in Miami Township, Montgomery County, Ohio the
son of Daniel Dubbs, Jr. and Sarah Diehl. Daniel enlisted in the Union Army on 12
September 1862 in Philadelphia. He was 23 when he enlisted and his occupation was
recorded as "student" on his military records. He was assigned to the 2nd PA Heavy Artillery
Regiment, Company D.

On 1 May 1863 Daniel was promoted to Sargent by Regimental Order No. 21. He was
assigned as a clerk at Brigade headquarters.

On 28 April 1864 he was promoted to 1LT (1st Lieutenant) by General Order 161 and
assigned to Fort Ethan Allen*. The fort was located in the vicinity of 3829 Stafford St. in
Arlington, VA. There is a Fort Ethan Allen Park there today. (Stafford St.is located off of N.
Glebe Road, about three miles north of Route 66).

After his promotion, Daniel was assigned to the Petersburg campaign. He was wounded in
both hips on 17 June 1864. He was probably transferred to the field hospital at City Point in
Hopewell, VA, located a few miles north of Petersburg on the Appomattox River. City Point
was a major logistics location for the Union army as well as serving as a field hospital with
about 10,000 beds, the largest in the Union army. General Grant had his headquarters at
this location. I also visited the City Point location and saw General Grant's headquarters
which was still standing.

During my visit on 14 August 2004 to the Petersburg Civil War battle field, the Tour Guide, A.
Wilson Greene (an historian and author of more than 20 books about the Civil War), informed
me that Daniel's 2nd PA Heavy Artillery Regiment-Company D was pressed into battle at
Petersburg as infantry.

__________________________________________________________________________
*Fort Ethan Allen was part of the “ring of forts” that comprised the Union Army’s “Defenses of
Washington” during the Civil War. The fort was a bastioned earthwork built by the Union Army in
September 1861 to command the approach to Chain Bridge. The Fort had a perimeter of 736 yards,
with emplacements for 39 guns. Several embankments still remain, including the south face, less the
west bastion; an interior bombproof shelter; the magazine and guardhouse near the north face; and a
part of the east face. Fort Ethan Allen has the most extensive remaining features of any of the Civil War
forts left in Arlington and is a designated Arlington County Historic District.

22
Daniel was moved from City Point field hospital by either steamboat or rail road to Finley
Military hospital in Washington, DC. He died in Finley hospital of his wounds on 7 July 1864.
Finley Military Hospital was located north of Boundary Street on Bladensburg Rd. in DC, near
Kendall Green. Kendall Green is now part of the Gallaudet University Campus.

His military record of his death recorded that he was single.

Daniel is buried at Hill Grove Cemetery, Miamisburg, Montgomerey Co., Ohio.

Much of the above was confirmed in correspondence between Henry Alfred Dubbs, the 2nd
cousin once removed of 1 LT Daniel L. Dubbs, and Mrs. C. B. Gardiner. In her letter to Henry
Alfred Dubbs dated 3 March 1930, Mrs. Gardiner said that she was the great-granddaughter
of Daniel Dubbs, Jr. (he was the father of 1 LT Daniel L. Dubbs) who moved to Ohio about
1836. Her letter said that Daniel, Jr. came to Ohio with his second wife, Sarah Doll. My
research has indicated that Sarah's surname was "Diehl."

Gardiner's letter also stated that her grandmother was the daughter of Daniel, Jr. and his first
wife, but she did not know her name. My research indicated that Daniel's first wife's given
name was Elizabeth. I do not know her surname.

34. Alfred J. G. Dubbs was the son of Joseph S. Dubbs and his first wife, Susan Gertz.
He was born on 8 June 1826 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. He attended Easton Academy
and later attended Marshall College in Mercersburg, Pa., now known as Franklin & Marshall
(F&M) College. He graduated from F&M in 1849.

He studied theology under his father and in the fall of 1851, he was ordained in Zion's
Reformed Church in Allentown, Pa. He became his father's assistant and went on to be
pastor of the Reformed Church in Kreidersville.

On 18 October 1853 he married Marie L. Schreiber, daughter of Jacob Schreiber. She was
born about 1830 in Lehigh County, Pa. Alfred was 27 when they married and Marie was 23.
I have not been able to identify any children.

In 1857 he became pastor of the Salisbury Charge and continued in that field for 19 years. In
1876 he started a mission known as the Salem Reformed Church in Allentown, where he
remained for 17 years. Because of failing health, he resigned Salem Reformed in 1893 and
was succeeded by Rev. G. W. Richards.

For 15 years, Dr. Dubbs was connected with the Keystone Normal School of Kutztown, Berks
County, Pa. He was also a member of the School Board of Allentown for many years. F&M
conferred upon him the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Divinity. For 20 years (1874
to 1894) he was on the Board of Directors of the Allentown National Bank. He was a staunch
Democrat!
23
Alfred died at the age of 69 years on 7 November 1897 in Allentown. His wife died the
previous year on 23 January 1894. Both Alfred and Maria are buried at the Union-West End
Cemetery, Allentown, Lehigh County, PA.

36. Joseph Henry Dubbs was born on 5 October 1838 in North Whitehall Township, Lehigh
County, Pennsylvania. He was a son of Joseph S. Dubbs and his second wife, Eleanor
Lerch. At the age of 25, Joseph Henry married Mary Louisa Wilson. She was born on 4
January 1843 in Allentown, Lehigh County, PA.

Joseph entered the sophomore class in Franklin & Marshall College in 1853 and graduated in
1856. In 1859 he graduated from the Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church at
Mercersburg. He received the degree of D. D. from Ursinus College in 1878 and that of LL.
D. from Heidelberg University, Tiffin, Ohio, in 1897.

He was a scholar with major interest in history and archaeology. In 1875 he was appointed a
professor in history and archaeology in Franklin & Marshall College. In 1878 he visited
Europe. A photograph of Joseph is on the following page.

In a letter to a cousin, Joseph H. Dubbs stated that he had two daughters*. One was married
and lived in Hagerstown, MD and the second was still at home at the time he wrote the letter
on December 2, 1897. He and his wife, Mary Louisa, also had two sons, Thomas Wilson,
born between1866-1867, and Henry Alfred, born on 23 August 1868.

On 1 April1910 in Lancaster, Lancaster County, PA, Joseph Henry Dubbs died at the age of
72 years. Mary Louisa died 11 years later on 17 January 1921 in Lancaster. She was 78
years old. Both are buried at Woodland Hill Cemetery., Lancaster, Lancaster County, PA

Generation 4

87. Henry Alfred Dubbs was born 23 August 1868 in Pottstown, Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. He was a son of Joseph Henry Dubbs and Maria Louisa Wilson
Henry* received his Bachelor of Arts from Franklin and Marshall College, Pennsylvania,
1887 and his A.M.in 1890. He was admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1890, and to
the Colorado Bar the same year. He relocated to Colorado.

In the 1900 Census for Pueblo city, Colorado he was a boarder in the home of the
widow Elenora J. Corson. In Pueblo city, he started a law firm, Devine and Dubbs. He
relocated to Denver in 1921 where he found a law firm with Henry Vidal.

On 20 November 1922, Henry married Helen Welsh Miller in Philadelphia,


Pennsylvania. She was born on 17 September 1879 in Ardmore, Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania. When they married, Henry was 54 years old and Helen was 43.
Henry was counsel for various railroad companies, banks, smelters, mines, etc. He
spent many years over the controversy with the Colorado River water and the irrigation
in the arid West.

As mentioned in Chapter 3, Henry’s portrait was painted by his father-in- law, William H.
Miller. A photo copy of his portrait can also be found in Chapter 3.

Henry and Helen had a son, Henry Miller Dubbs, born on 14 October 1923 in St. Luke’s
Hospital, Denver, Colorado. The following year, Helen died on 13 January 1924 in
Denver, Colorado. She was 45 years of age. She is buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery,
Philadelphia, PA, Section U Lot 345.

Thirteen years after his wife’s death, Henry obtained his Doctor of Laws.

On a trip to visit relatives in Pennsylvania, Henry died in 1939 in Lancaster,


Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. He was 71 years old when he passed. A family
member said Henry had a heart attack while visiting his son at the Hill Preparatory High
School. He is also buried at Laurel Hill Cemetery with his wife in Section U Lot 526.

Generation 5

130. Henry Miller Dubbs* was born 14 October 1923 in St. Luke’s Hospital, Denver,
Colorado. He is the son of Henry Alfred Dubbs and Helen Welsh Miller. His mother,
Helen, died in January 1924.
The 1930 Census for Denver shows Henry living with his widowed father, Henry Alfred
Dubbs, and two servants, Catherine Vantine born in 1868 in Ireland and Louise
Vogeding born in 1891 in Indiana. In the 1940 Denver Census, Henry Miller Dubbs is
listed as the Head of the household as his father died in 1939. The same two servants,
Catherine and Louise, are also listed in the Dubbs household.

Four years later, He married Hazel Joyce Munson on 21 October 1943. She was born
on 27 November 1924.

On 11 September 1944, Henry enlisted in the United States Army. His military rank
was shown as ‘Private” in the Army Air Corps. His civilian occupation was “Aviators.”
Henry’s enlistment record noted that he had one year of college.
In April of 1968, Henry married Ann Porterfield who was born about 1925.
I have not identified any children fathered by Henry Miller Dubbs. I also was not able to
establish his death date or locate his burial location or that of his two wives.
Henry Miller Dubbs is the Dubbs/Eichholtz connection. On the next page, is a summary
of his connection to both the Dubbs and Eichholtz families.

Rev. J. S. Dubbs, Zion Reformed Church and The Liberty Bell

As discussed in Chapter 8, Joseph S. Dubbs was pastor of Zion Reformed Church in


Allentown, Pennsylvania for more then 30 years. This church was the hiding place for the
Liberty Bell in 1777.

After Washington’s defeat at the Battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, the
revolutionary capital of Philadelphia was defenseless, and the city prepared for what was
seen as an inevitable British attack on the city. The executive branch of the Pennsylvania
State government ordered that eleven bells, including the State House bell (known today as
the Libererty Bell) and the bells from Christ Church and St. Peter’s Church be taken down
and removed from the city to prevent the British, who might melt the bells down to cast into
cannons, from taking possession of them.
A train of over 700 wagons, guarded by 200 cavalry from North Carolina and Virginia and
under the command of Colonel Thomas Polk of the 4th Regiment North Carolina Continental
Line, left Philadelphia for Bethlehem, PA. Hidden in the manure and hay were the bells, and
hidden in the wagon of Northampton County militia private John Jacob Mickley was the State
House bell. On September 18, the entourage and armed escort arrived in Richland Township
(present-day Quakertown) Pennsylvania. On September 23, the bishop of the Moravian
Church in Bethlehem reported that the wagons had arrived, and all bells except the State
House bell had been moved to Northampton-Towne (present-day Allentown Pennsylvania).
The following day, the State House bell was transferred to the wagon of Frederick Leaser and
taken to the historic Zion’s Reformed Church (erected in 1773) in center city Allentown,
where it was stored (along with the other bells), under the floorboards. On September 26,
British forces marched into Philadelphia, unopposed, and occupied the city. The bell was
restored to Philadelphia in June 1778, after the end of the British occupation.

The Liberty Bell Museum (also the Liberty Bell Shrine Museum) is a non-profit
organization and museum located in Zion’s United Church of Christ (formerly Zion's
Reformed Church) in Allentown, PA. The museum, based in the church in which the Liberty
Bell was hidden during the American Revolutionary War, contains exhibits relating to the
Liberty Bell and subjects including liberty, freedom, patriotism and local history. The shrine
was founded in 1962 by Ralph H. Griesemer and Dr. Morgan D. Person. The museum is

James Buchanan
15th President of the United Sates
James Buchanan was born in Cove Gap*, Pennsylvania on 23 April 1791 to a well-to-do family. He graduated
from Dickinson College and became a prominent lawyer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania,

In 1820, Buchanan won election to the United States House of Representatives and served five terms. He
eventually became aligned with Andrew Jackson's Democratic Party. After serving as Jackson's Minister to
Russia, Buchanan won election as a senator from Pennsylvania and served for ten years. In 1845, he accepted
appointment as President James K. Polk's Secretary of State.

From 1853 to 1856, Buchanan served as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom. A major
contender for his party's presidential nomination throughout the 1840s and 1850s, Buchanan finally won his
party's nomination in 1856.

Shortly after his election, Buchanan lobbied the Supreme Court to issue a broad ruling in Dred Scott v. Sandford,
which he fully endorsed as president. He allied with the South in attempting to gain the admission of Kansas to the
Union as a slave state. He alienated both Republican abolitionists and Northern Democrats, most of whom
supported the principle of popular sovereignty in determining a new state'sslave holdingg status.

Buchanan indicated in his 1857 inaugural address that he would not seek a second term, and he kept his word
and did not run for re-election in 1860. After his party splintered, largely along geographic lines, Buchanan
supported Vice President Breckenridge over Douglas, who won the support of most Northern Democrats.
Republican nominee Abraham Lincoln, running on a platform of keeping slavery out of all Western territories, won
the election.

In response, seven southern states declared their secession from the Union, eventually leading to the American
Civil War. Buchanan's view was that secession was illegal, but that going to war to stop it was also illegal.
Buchanan supported the United States during the Civil War and publicly defended himself against charges that he
was responsible for the war. He died on1 June 1868 at age 77. He is the only president to remain a lifelong
bachelor and the only US President born in Pennsylvania.

President Buchanan is buried at Woodward Hill Cemetery, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. In 1930, a memorial in his
honor was installed at the Meridian Hill Park, an urban park located in Washington, DC at 16th Street NW & W.
Street NW. The park is about 1.3 miles due north of the White House.

*Cove Gap is located in Franklin County, about 75 miles west of Lancaster, PA

Notes for Daniel Dubbs Jr.:


In the "Lower Milford Township" descriptions of the various industries, it was noted that Daniel
Dubbs operated the grist mill that he inherited from his father. In 1836 at the age of 50, Daniel
moved to Montgomery County in Ohio. He undoubtedly sold the mill as the next owner was
William D. Moyer who operated the mill until 1863 when Isaac H. Shelly became the owner.
Different parties operated it until 1880 when Henrey F. Schell bought it and improved it by adding
steam power. The mill continued to operate to 1900 when it burned and was abandoned. The
owner at the time was Albert Walter.

In her letter to Henry Alfred Dubbs dated March 3, 1930, Mrs. C. B. Gardiner said that she was the
great-granddaughter of Daniel Dubbs, Jr. who moved to Ohio about 1836. Her letter said that
Daniel came to Ohio with his second wife, Sarah Doll. The IGI recorded the name as Sarah Diehl.

The IGI lists the marriage of Daniel and Sarah Diehl and seven children. I have assumed that
Sarah was the second wife, and the first wife was Elizabeth. She appears on CD 130, page 189 as
the mother of Reuben, b. 6/17/1816. I assumed Elizabeth was the mother of the first two children,
Samuel and Reuben. I further assumed she died after the death of Reuben, and Daniel remarried
to Sarah after 1816.

Source of move to Ohio: Jane Hartwich e-mail 8/2/00. Confirmed by the letter Mrs. C. B. Gardiner,
a Dubbs relative, wrote to Henry A. Dubbs on March 3, 1930. And IGI FGR for Daniel Dubbs, Jr.
downloaded 5/20/00, and CD 130, page 189.

The following information was sent to Larry Hillpot by Jane Hartwich.

Page 250, Our Parish Record 1881-1913 printed in Quakertown, showing autobiography of
Joseph Hillpot.

I Joseph Hillpot, am the son of Samuel S. T. Hillpot and wife Eva, a daughter of Jacob Trauger,
Sen., of Nockamixon. I was born on December 27, 1835, in Tinicum, Bucks county, Pa., about ½
mile from Head-Quarters, near Tinicum creek, and about 2 miles from the Delaware river. On the
3rd day of April 1836, I was baptized in the Tinicum Brick church by Rev. H. S. Miller. The parents
served as sponsors.
Before I was 5 years of age I went to school in the old log school house near said Head-Quarters,
in Tinicum. My first teacher was John Kepler, from Plumstead, I had nothing but a common school
training until January 1, 1854, then I went two months to Thomas Clark's boarding school at
Benjamin James', 4 miles west of Doylestown, near Iron Hill.

In the fall of 1854, I commenced teaching school, -taught the first winter in Myers' school house,

45
Generation 4 (con't)
In the fall of 1854, I commenced teaching school, -taught the first winter in Myers' school house,
Tinicum; the second and third winter at Red Hill, Tinicum; the fourth and fifth winter in school house
about half a mile from the Nockamixon church; the sixth winter at Head-Quarters, in Tinicum. Thus
I taught 6 winters in succession.

In the spring of 1860, I went to school in Quakertown, Rev. A. R. Home, Principal, and Geo. W.
Smucker, assistant principal. Rev. Home then encouraged me to study for the Gospel ministry, and
thus I began to prepare for entering college. On the 25th day of October, 1851, I was by rite of
confirmation, received into the full membership of the Ev. Lutheran congregation at Tinicum Brick
church, Rev. C. P. Miller confirmed me.

In the fall of 1861, I entered the Freshman class in Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, Pa. In 1865 I
graduated in Pennsylvania College. In the fall of 1865 I commenced my Theological studies in the
Theological Seminary in Philadelphia.

In 1866, August 23rd, I married Elizabeth Amanda Wambold, the ceremony was performed by Rev.
C. F. Shaffer, D. D., in Philadelphia.

During the winter of 1866-1867, I again taught one term of school at Red Hill, in Tinicum; at the
same time I continued, privately, my Theological studies. On September 30, 1867, I was in
Pottsville by the East Pennsylvania Synod, licensed to preach the Gospel of Christ and administer
sacraments.

My first charge was at Cogan Station, near Williamsport, Lycoming county. On the 27th day of
