1. George¹ Zewitz was born 1695 in Strasbourg, France, and died June 1759 in Saucan Creek, Bucks County, PA, USA. He married Barbara in Strasburg. She died 1766.

Notes for George Zewitz:

From the Sherk Geneology

George S. Zavitz, the first to come to America, is reported to have "lived within sight of the spires of the famous cathedral in Strasbourg, France." As a protestant, he and his family were part of a flood of immigrants to the William Penn Colony where rights to religious freedom had been included in the founding constitution as early as 1681. There is no specific documentation that the Zavitz's were Mennonites on arrival although they were part of that community once in America and after 1797 in Canada. Strasbourg seemed a "safe haven" for many years to the Anabaptists like the Mennonites. There is no record of the death sentence against these individuals in Strasbourg.

Nevertheless, Protestants in that city felt the pull from the new world. The Rhine was just two miles away with its access to Dutch religious freedom, ships to America and there was news of British support for settlement. undoubtedly the Zavitz's had heard much about the migration of tens of thousands of Palatine Protestants down the Rhine to Holland and Britain and then on to settlement areas in the Pennsylvania and New York colonies. Promoters were advertising the "good life" ion these colonies and Anabaptists, much attracted to the prospect of escaping the harshness of European society, the lack of productive farm land and the security to raise a family. They must also have been aware of the long waits in refugee camps before ships would be available to take them, the thousands who embarked who never made it to the new world (as many as 40 per cent of those attempting the crossing died of disease at sea) and the settlement mismanagement that plagued many who did survive the Atlantic crossing.

There is no record of GEORGE ZAVITZ, and his wife BARBARA on the immigrant ship list nor of his arrival in Philadelphia. since these records were started in 1727 we may assume he arrived before that time. The first record of him in the new world is his purchase of 300 acres in 1732 from Caspar Wistar, near Center Valley about 50 miles north of the city in a new district in a fertile valley long Saucon Creek, Upper Bucks County, about 6 miles south of what was later to be the site of Bethlehem. As a miller he looked for mill sites. He and the small group of Mennonite settlers he was with were also influenced by the opening of the Durham Iron Works about 15 miles away. The local Indian Tribes, Saucon, Lenni-Lenapes and Shawnees were friendly at this time and did not resist the arrival of these "whites" in their hunting grounds.

About 1731, George built a grist mill in Center Valley, PA. He was naturalized on March 29, 1735. George and Barbara died on the homestead. George's will was probated on June 13, 1759. All in the family probably spoke German exclusively.

Notes for Jacob Sewitz:

[Combined Families FTW]

Jacob Zavitz II, son of Jacob I, grandson of George and Barbara Zavitz, stayed north of the Blue Mountains and settled at Tannersville where he married Catherine Learn. The Learn Massacre by Indians during the Revolution took the lives of several of her family. Catherine was a Quaker, and her family had an inn at Tannersville: it is still there and is called the "Learned Inn".

Habob II was one of the original three Zavitz brothers who came to Canada in 1784. He settled in Bertie Township. According to Jacobs Great Grandaughter, Bertha Zavitz Pound, Jacob and his wife migrated from Nazareth, Northumberland Co., PA, in 1784.

The Crown gave a grant of 200 acres to each settler and these people availed themselves of the opportunity, selecting a site on the banks of a creek in the township of Bertie, Ontario.
