The greatest number of references to the surname appears in Schwadernau, Switzerland. Before coming to America, Johannes was in England, where his first son may have been born. The family left in the ship "Francis and Elizabeth", which sailed from Rotterdam, Holland, by way of Deal, England.[1] Johannes' second son was born at sea, where his wife died. On 21 September, 1742, Johannes arrived in Philadelphia, where he and other adult male passengers signed an oath of allegience to the King of England, and a second oath that they were not the agents of any foreign government.[1] Johannes started a farm and mill in Lebanon Co, PA, including over 100 acres at his death. During renovation of the property in the 1980s, an iron fireplace reflector was found, with the date 1755.[2] He died Dec 1772, leaving the land to his first son, Christian, but it passed to non-family members by 1835. Johannes' second wife was Madgalena Schwatka.[3] His will refers to 'my brother-in-law, Christian Yoder.' One reference says Johannes' son, John, was born in 1752.[3] Arrived in Philadelphia aboard "Francis and Elizabeth" Sept. 21, 1742. First wife, Mary Holden, died during voyage and was buried at sea. -------------------- Johannes Gnagi Birth: Aarau, Switzerland Death: Nov., 1772 Lancaster County Pennsylvania, USA The approximate year of his birth is 1720. Family links: Spouses: Magdalena Yoder Gnagi* Mary Holden Gnagi (____ - 1742) Children: Christian Gnagey (1740 - 1812) Burial: Unknown Created by: peppercorn Record added: Jul 24, 2011 Find A Grave Memorial# 73852720 The Northkill Amish Settlement The first Amish Mennonites began migrating to the United States in the eighteenth century, mainly to escape the religious persecution and compulsory military service they faced in Europe. The Northkill area in eastern Pennsylvania was opened for settlement in 1736, and that same year, Melchoir Detweiler and Hans Sieber arrived in Philadelphia on the ship Princess Augusta. Within a year Sieber had settled along Irish Creek (between Bernville and Centerpoint), which became a sister community to the Northkill settlement, while Detweiler found land along Northkill Creek. The Northkill settlement lay on the edge of the Blue Mountains. At that time this ridge was the legal boundary of European settlement, according to treaties between the British and the Native Americans. More Amish passengers arrived on the ship Charming Nancy in 1737 and found their way to the Irish Creek and Northkill settlements. These included Jacob Beiler, Christian Burki, Christian Hershberger, Christian Kurtz, Christian Lichti, Jacob Mast, Abraham Miller, Christian Miller, Jacob Miller, Ulrich Spicker, Henry Stehly, and Hans Zimmerman, and their families. The following year the Charming Nancy returned with my ancestor, Jacob Hochstetler, his wife, and 2 young children, among others, to Philadelphia. They were soon established among the earlier arrivals along the Northkill. During the following decades the Amish continued to settle along the Northkill in increasing numbers. 1742 saw the arrival of Hans Gerber,''' Hans (Johannes) Gnagi''', Jacob Good, Christian Miller, Christian Yoder, Sr., Christian Yoder, Jr., Jacob Yoder, Christian Zook, Johannes Zook, and Moritz Zook. By now the community was large enough to petition the Pennsylvania General Assembly for naturalization rights, which allowed them to purchase land, a right denied Anabaptists in Europe. In 1744 the families of Christian and Samuel King, Hans Stephen Kurtz, Johannes Snyder, Michael Stuckey, and Yost Yoder expanded the settlement even more. The community welcomed Bishop Jacob Hertzler and his family in 1749, along with the Christian Fisher, Hans Lantz, and Jacob and Joseph Mishler families. Hans Blank, Andreas and Johannes Hooley, John Mast, and Michael Troyer expanded the settlement even more the following year. According to S. Duane Kauffman in Miffllin County Amish and Mennonite Story, 1791-1991, at its peak the Irish Creek-Northkill community consisted of about 40 Amish families or between 150 and 200 persons, which would have made it the largest Amish settlement in America at that time. In spite of several attacks during the French and Indian War, including the one against my ancestors in 1757, it held that distinction into the 1780s, when it began to decline as families moved farther west in search of better farmland. Although it existed for a relatively brief period, the Northkill settlement was fundamental in establishing the Amish in North America. It included the forebears of many Amish families, such as the Yoders, Burkeys, Troyers, Hochstetlers, and Hershbergers, and is generally considered to be the mother from which the other eastern Pennsylvania Amish communities sprang. Different sources assign different names to our immigrant ancestor. Hans, Johannes, John, and Joseph all appear. Hans, Johannes, and John are found on legal documents, whereas Joseph is found in family traditions. Various spellings of the Gnage family name include: Gnaegy, Gnaegi, Gnagey, Gnagegie, Gnagi, Gnagy, Genegy, Knag, Kanagy, Kenagy, and our name Kenaga. Hans Gnage, an Amish Mennonite was born in Switzerland during 1720. He may have immigrated to the Amish Mennonite community at Montebeliard, France and have also spent time in England before coming to America. It was in England that he married an English woman, Mary Holden, and started a family. He and his family boarded the ship Frances and Elizabeth arriving in Pennsylvania on September 21, 1742. It was said that Mary died on the voyage and was buried at sea. Hans was granted a warrant to 122 acres of land in Berks County, Pennsylvania. This property lies between Shartlesville and Hamburg. This is near the first organized Amish congregation. Around 1750 Hans remarried Magdalene Yoder(?) . He named his brother in law Christian Yoder as executor of his estate. Hans became a naturalized British subject in Philadelphia on April 10,1761. In 1763 Hans sold his 122 acres and moved 20 miles west, purchasing 200 acres in Lebanon County. He adopted a grist mill and farmed until his death in 1772. Madgalene and the family remained on the land until the end of the century.

This is on RootsWeb WorldConnect Project as is Pat Mote at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/1450/kenaga. Both agree "different sources now spell surname Kanagy, Kenaga, Kenagy, Kanaga, Gnaegy and the list goes on. Johannes was an Amish Mennonite. He spent some time in England before coming to America and it is there he m. Mary Holden and started a family. He & his family boarded the ship "Francis & Elizabeth" arriving in Pennsylvania on 9-12-1742. It was said Mary died on the voyage and was buried at sea. He married Magdalena Yoder not long after and named his brother in law, Christian Yoder, executor of his estate. (''See "Amish & Amish Mennonites" by Gingerich & Krieder, pg 208-14 &''' Descendents of Johannes Gnaegi & John Kenege, Sr. and Related Families''' by Eugene E. Kenaga, published by Eugene Kenaga, Midland, MI 1988.)'' It stands to reason he would m. Magdalena aboard ship after lost his wife as he had small children to care for. His children are listed in the Gingerich & Kreider book as well; Magdalena Gnaegi pg 548, Ulrich pg 209, Joshua "Yost" pg 209 etc. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/1450/kenaga says : Hans Gnage, an Amish Mennonite was born in Switzerland during 1720.

Children of Hans Gnage [1720-1772] and Mary Holden: Christian [b.1740?] [d. October 1799] John [b.1742] [d.1833] After I sent my message to you, I ran across another reference to the Swiss link for Johannes.That reference cited Eugne Kanaga's book.I spoke with Eugene a lot before the book was published.He indicated that for him the Swiss link was tenuous, based only on the fact of a Johannes Gnagi born in 1720 in both Rudolph Gnagi's ancestry and in ours.If the Mormon data flowed from that source, it should be regarded as Eugene does-- an interesting possibility requiring confirmation.It would be exciting to know if it's a second confirmation rather than restatement of the first hypothesis. http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/gnaegi/25/ From 1998-1999 we lived in the Palatinate!I was stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base, Germany, which is at the Frankfurt airport.The cities Gnagi's are said to have lived in include Schwadernau and Montbeliard.The ship Johannes came in began at Rotterdam, then went to Deal (England).It seems many German (and Swiss) passengers traveled over the course of months down the Rhein, north to exit from the Netherlands.I wonder how long Johannes was in England.The idea of his marrying an English woman has long seemed very strange to me.No other non-German wife's name appears in the related genealogies, and Johannes was clearly a devout Amish or Mennonite man.Evidence is that two of his sons (Ulrich and Jost paid the fine for non-participation in the revolution (pacifism is one of the 3 basic tenets of the Anabaptist faith) and his first son (Christian) is the ancestor of a very consistently Mennonite lineage.How is it, then, that our progenitor chose an English woman for his wife??I suspect the former Miss Holden was distinctly German/Swiss. -------------------- === GEDCOM Source === Ancestry.com Global, Find A Grave Index for Burials at Sea and other Select Burial Locations, 1300s-Current Name: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.; Location: Provo, UT, USA; Date: 2012; @R4@ <i>Find A Grave</i>.

| 167 | {geni:about_me} Arrived in Philadelphia aboard "Francis and Elizabeth" Sept. 21, 1742. Mother, Mary Holden, died during voyage and was buried at sea. -------------------- Christian Gnaegi came to America from Switzerland in the year 1750 or 1760. He had four sons and six daughters: Johannes married to Elizabeth Stutzman; Christian; Jacob married to Susana Livingston; Joseph married to Barbara Bare; Magdalena married to Jacob Blough; Mary married to Christian Senf; Barbara married to John Swartz; Gertrude married to Mr. Burchfield; Anna married to Mr. Muller; Catarina married to Jonas Flory. In the year 1774 the said Christian Gnaegi took up a large tract of land called Elkton, containing 500 3/4 acres, two miles west of Meyersdale, Brotherswalle (sic Brothersvalley) Township (Now Summit Township) Somerset County, Pa '''Biography''' == Many of Christian's descendants pronounce their name 'Naygee', and a significant number remained in the Amish faith through the 19th and 20th centuries. Christian was the first son of Johannes Gnaegi, and arrived with him in Philadelphia on the ship, Frances and Elizabeth (21 Sep 1742). They arrived with his brother, John, who had been born on the ship, but without his mother (who died en route).[1] Some histories suggest Christian was born in England, because the "Frances and Elizabeth" set sail from Deal, England. But the ship, like others, began its voyage in Rotterdam, where many Protestants emigrating from Europe assembled, having traveled from Switzerland and the Palatinate down the Rhine. In 1774, Christian Sr. moved to 500 acres near Meyersdale, PA, which was Brothersvalley, (Bruderthal), Twp, but now called Summit Twp, Somerset Co., PA.[2][3] He later moved to Scio County, Ohio. Notes Many sources disagree with the statement in "A Complete History of Christian Gnaegi" that he arrived between 1750 and 1760. The historical records of a man named Christian Gnaegi with the same spouse, children and dates of important events makes it unlikely that two men of that name arrived separately. Despite the disagreement as to the date of his arrival, a useful summary of the family's recollections was written at a reunion in the early 20th century: Christian Gnaegi came to America from Switzerland in the year 1750 or 1760. He had four sons and six daughters: Johannes married to Elizabeth Stutzman; Christian; Jacob married to Susana Livingston; Joseph married to Barbara Bare; Magdalena married to Jacob Blough; Mary married to Christian Senf; Barbara married to John Swartz; Gertrude married to Mr. Burchfield; Anna married to Mr. Muller; Catarina married to Jonas Flory. In the year 1774 the said Christian Gnaegi took up a large tract of land called Elkton, containing 500 3/4 acres, two miles west of Meyersdale, Brotherswalle (sic Brothersvalley) Township (Now Summit Township) Somerset County, Pa. He lived on the farm now owned by Elias A. Yoder. On April 1 of the year 1805, Christian Gnaegi sold to his son, Christian Gnaegi, 114 acres on the northeast side of the farm. The same year Christian Gnaegi sold this farm to Solomon Trashel. On the 30th day of March in the year 1815, Solomon Trushel sold the same to Christian Gnagey, son of Johanne Gnagey; and on the 8th of May, 1861, Christian Gnagey sold it to his son Joel C. Gnagey, and it is now owned by Mr. Herwig. On the 1st day of May, in the year 1805, the original Christian Gnaegi, sold to his son Johannes Gnaegi 160 3/4 acres on the southwest side of the farm where Elias and Jacob Gnagey now live. Johannes Gnaegi sold this farm to his son, Jacob Gnagey, on the 30th day of April in the year 1833. On April 1, 1860, Jacob Gnagey sold the same to his son, Elias Gnagey, who lives there at the present time, 2 1/2 miles from Meyersdale. On the 1st day of April, in the year 1884, Elias Gnagey sold 158 3/4 acres to his son, Jacob E. Gnagey, there being two acres sold off of the west end of the farm. This farm has been called the Gnagey Farm, since it was taken up by the original Christian Gnaegi, and is now in the fifth generation, 135 years old. The said Christian Gnaegi lived on the east portion of the farm which contained 226 acres. On the 10th day of April 1806, he sold it to Henry Yoder.

| 168 | {geni:about_me} As a rule of thumb the majority would have been known under the husband's name in the 18th century but with the female form of the name (an -in appended to the name). However, depending on the area they both may have changed their name to the farm name if one existed, or the husband may have taken the wife's name if she was the only child of a farmer or craftsman and he was a journeyman taking over his father-in-law's craft or a younger, non-inheriting son moving to the farm of his wife and taking it over. Marriage records would most commonly list her as "Given Name, daughter of her father", birth/baptismal records of her children only with Given Name, and if unmarried again with "Given Name, daughter of her father". Death records depend on the status of her husband, if still living mostly as "Given Name, wife of husband", if widowed equally either as "Given Name plus Family Name" or as "Given Name, widow of husband". As a result of that death records and birth records of children are a good rule to go by with regards to women's married names. | Kottmeier, Christian Ludwig Kleine (I6000000010243105636)

| 187 | {geni:about_me} Daughter of David and Catherine (Gindlesperger) Hooley. Also known as Holly, Holli, Holley, Hulley. Catherine is the 1st wife of David C Troyer 'Canada Dave'. Grandson of Michel and Magdalena (Mast) Troyer. Catherine and David may have been married in York, Ontario, Canada in 1805. Catherine and David had the following known children: Elizabeth (1806-1900) Rachel (1809-1897) Jonas David (1811-1897) Christian D. (1812-1897) Mary (1814- 1898) Levi D. (1816-1890) Elias D. (1819-1905) Catherine D. (1822-1874) and Tobias D. (1826-1900). This information comes from findagrave member Christine 47236384. Her records do not show a child Maria/Mariah so if anyone has any documentation on her please contact Christine. I have seen that Catherine died in Holmes County in 1847 but have not found this record so until I am shown proof of this it will remain without a date. After Catherine's death, David married Mary Eash. I do not have her family history and haven't found any information on her nor have I found any records showing they had any children. Reason this unknown burial memorial is made is because Catherine and David's children have been linked to the wrong mother. David's great grandmother Veronica Mueller/Miller 1714-1769 first married Michel Troyer Sr. After his death, Freni married Johannes Hooley/Holly. Freni and Johannes are the grandparents of this Catherine Hooley. | Hooley, Catherine (I6000000009810050467)
