GEDCOM Note
Henry PAWLING (II), the son of Henry PAWLING (I) and wife Noeltje ROOSA, was born in 1689, in New York. He married Jacomyntie KUNST June 26, 1713, at Ulster, Kingston County, New York. He died August 30, 1739, in Lower Providence Township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) County, Pennsylvania. Jacomyntie was the daughter of Cornelius Barrenstein KUNST and Jacomyntie SLECHT, who are described in The Dutch Ancestors. Her date of birth and date of death are not known.
Henry PAWLING (II) moved to Pennslyvania by September, 1719. In 1715 he was in Ulster County, New York, serving in the militia. He settled on a plantation of five hundred acres at the confluence of the Schuylkill and Perkiomen, opposite what later became the almost sacred hills of Valley Forge. To the early settlers this region was known as the Fat Land of the Egypt District, and the analogy is close between these fair lands, so regularly inundated by the spring freshets and encrusted with the rich alluvial soil brought down by the upper river, and those in the East enriched by the annual life-bearing overflow of the Nile. (Can you tell I plagarized that?) Henry devoted himself to agriculture and reaped a competence. The inventory of his real and personal estate includes: eight slaves, eight horses, twenty-five cattle, thirty-one sheep and fourteen pigs.
From an early date the PAWLINGS were prominently identified with the Episcopal church of St. James at Perkiomen. At the first recorded meeting of its vestry, October 2, 1737, Henry is present as a vestryman. In June, 1738, he is a church warden. In its grounds he was buried and there a granite stone still plainly records: "In Memory of Henry PAWLING who Died August the 30th 1739. Aged 50 years."
slave ownership
"The prominent men of Providence and adjoining Perkiomen and Skippack Townships did own slaves. Henry Pawling, who died in 1729, had owned Jack, a Negro man; Bess, a Negro woman; and Negro girls Cate, Jane, and Bet, and Negro boys Oilever, Tom, and Tim. When John Pawling died in 1733, his will stipulated that his wife Ephia should have his three Negro women, Bettee, Peggee, and Rose, and after Ephia’s death, son Henry should inherit the slave women. A later Henry Pawling, who died in 1792, saw to it that his mulatto girl Susannah should receive one calico gown and skirt.
John Pawling, a resident of Skippack and Perkiomen Township, was a vestryman at St. James’ Church in Evansburg for many years, but then he became active with Augustus Lutheran Church. The Trappe Church records show that on October 6, 1745, the day of the dedication of the church, John Pawling sent his three Negro slaves, Johannes, Jacob, and Thomas, to be baptized by (Rev. Henry Melchior) Muhlenberg. Pastors Brunholtz, Wagner, and Newberger were their sponsors.
The Trappe records also include the baptism of Margreth, daughter of Robert and Anna (John Pawling’s niger), born August 28, baptized September 20, 1761; and the baptism of Robert, son of Robert and Anna (John Pawling’s niger), born December 1, 1785, baptized April 8, 1759; and Francis or Frank, born October 17, 1777; baptized January 9, 1778.." by The Rev. Judith A. Meier, Historian The Historical Society of Trappe, Collegeville, and Perkiomen Valley (see document capture)
