This was made relatively easy as the FHL IGI contains all of the records of these families translated from the filmed copies of the church records. The second son, Hans Georg Märcklin, was baptised, in excellent agreement with the birth in 1730 ascribed by Solomon Markley to Georg Markle.Īlthough this history is written starting from the earliest ancestor in each line, the identification of each generation was of course accomplished working backwards in time. There we find recorded the births of the children of Hans Joggi and Elizabeth Märcklin who came on the Crown, as well as the births of their siblings. We turn next back to the Kirchenbücher, the church record book, of Rothenfluh, Baselland. We find in common from these two references three related families, one of which consisted of Hans Joggi Märcklin, 47, "Released from payment of dues", his wife Elizabeth Hefelfinger, 46, and four of their children (Hans Jacob, Hans Georg, Magdalen and Ursula), from Rothenfluh, Amt Farnsworth. A detailed comparison was made of the names of all the male passengers on this ship with the emigrants who received permission to emigrate from Baselland, Switzerland that year 157. On the Crown arrived in Philadelphia, with passengers designated as “Switzers”, among whom were Hans, Hans Jacob, and Hans George Markly 372. One, at least, of my dates must be in error. His statement that six of his twelve children were dead is in disagreement with the death dates recorded below, as I have the seventh of his children dying in 1892. This genealogy gives the appearance of having come from a genealogical society or family newsletter. The text ends with the notation: "July 10, 1906, I, Solomon Markley, have copied this genealogy out from an old record up to my father's family from that time until the present date I have kept the record and it is correct". (I don't know who added the handwritten notes, nor when that was done.) The children he ascribes to this couple correspond to those listed in the will of the George Markley who died 1799. It identifies the founding parents of his line in this country as Hans George Markle, b 1730 near Basel, Switzerland, and Regina Dora Barbara Frohlich, b 1740 in Württemberg, Germany, and he says they settled near Strasburg. We have from Ruth Markley 251 (no relation) a genealogy by Solomon Markley entitled "Markley Descendants from Germany" 246. The details of three generations of Markleys in Strasburg will be given later.
Census, court, and marriage records point to the town of Strasburg in that county as the place of residence of the family, starting with George Markley who appeared in the records there from 1753 through August, 1799. That our Markley line in this country originated in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania is documented in a note in my possession written by my great-grandfather Aaron Markley early last century.
