"STRIEBY Genealogy and History 1726-1967" by Byard B. Strieby, B.
Beatrice Strieby, and Irene M. Strieby (MacDonald Letter Services County,
Des Moines, Iowa, 1967) John Strieby--"An improved county road,
which leads from the little village of Bolivar, OH, in Lawrence Twp.,
Tuscarawas County, to the slightly larger village of Strasburg, in the
neighboring twp. of Franklin, takes one over the beautiful hill
country near Stark County line. Crossing this road, about a mile south of
Bolivar, is the "Old Strasburg Rd.", a winding gravel trail thru
scenic territory, forking to the NW. On the left hand side of the
road, about a mile from the junction is an abandoned cemetary almost
hidden from view. It is here that the compiler found the graves of
John Strieby and wife in a plot with corner posts, indicating it was
once enclosed by an iron chain fence. The large tombstones had been
laid flush with the ground rather than in upright position and were
scarcely visible thru the overgrowth of myrtle...This cemetery is
probably located near the old home of John and his wife in Lawrence
Twp." "John Strieby also owned land in Salem Tract farther south in
Tuscarawas County Several deeds in County records give evidence of his
various transactions as also on his estate administration documents
and Chancery records." "That the family clung to its German
background is evidence by books in that language listed in the sale of
property (Probate Bk. 4:396ff) as well as their membership in the
Reformed Church. About 1835, Conrad Zutavern and wife, Anna Maria,
together with John Strieby and wife Anna Maria, sighed a deed for
parts of Lots 16 and 17, Sec.2, Twp. 10, for a "German Presbyterian
and Lutheran Church to be known as Paul's Chruch" (Deed Bk. 10:212).
John was trustee of this church said to be torn down about 1925.
According to Beer' p. 573, Strieby, Fernsells, and others were members
of a Lutheran Society formed in 1822.

"Young Michael (he followed the German custom of using his middle
name)..." " On Oct. 22, 1753, Michael Strieby purchased title to 56
acres and 132 perches of land near Easton, Pa. from Jacob Fisher.
This plot, known as STRIEBYTOWN, had been surveyed and warranted to
Conrad Yost on May 9, 1751. Mr. Yost had sold his land to Jacob Fisher
on Sep. 10, 1753." "STRIEBYTOWN was a portion of the Penn's Manor
Fremor patented to Michael Strieby by John Penn, Lt. Gov. of the
province...Michael's patent cost 8 pounds thrirteen shillings, and was
recorded on Apr. 15, 1767." "According to dept. of internal affairs of
the commonwealth of Pa., Patent book, Vol. AA 8, p. 259. Striebytown
was situated partly in Lowmill Twp. and partly in Whitehall Twp. From
Oct. 22, 1753 until Feb. 9 1787 it remained in the possession of
Michael Strieby when he and his wife sold it to Jacob Bare for 225
pounds in specie (Northampton County Pa. File Book, File y, Book D-9, p.
216)." " With the exception of Jacob, the eldest, all of his
children were born in the Striebytown area or on a farm south of there
containing 172 acres and located aside or on the west side of the
Jordon Lutheran Church in South Whitehall Twp., according to a map by
Isaac Chapman." "From there Michael and his wife move to Lynn Twp.,
Northampton County Pa, where he owned 224 acres of land at the time of
his death in May 1790. Barbara died sometime between Feb. 1787 and
Michael's death in May....The final settlement being exhibited on Sep.
13, 1791. After the death of his father, John Strieby chose John
Mosher of Whitehall Twp. for his guardian."

Hans married Barbara. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"Jacob Strieby ...crossed the Atlantic on board the St. Andrew
skippered by Capt. Robert Brown, arrived Port of Philadelphia on the
afternoon of Oct. 7, 1743. Nothing is know of Jacob before his
arrival in America. It is assumed that he is widowed, since the only
family that he brought with him was his son Hans Michael." "Of all
twelve children, most retained the spelling of Strieby, but if one
looks at the passenger list the name was spelled both ways. Jacob and
Hans Michael signed it Strieby, but when it was printed under "those
who took the oath of allegiance" it was spelled Strevey.
"Pennsylvania German Pioneers": the foreigners whose names are
underwritten imported in ship St. Andrew, Capt. Robert Brown from
Rotterdam, last from Cowes, England did this day take the Oathe of
Qualification, vis dated Oct. 7, 1743." "Jacob Strieby and his son
Hans Michael were the first Striebys to come to the new land. Jacob
was born in the Lower Rhine Valley in the Palitinate area of Germany
in 1699. He was 44 years old on that Oct. day in 1743 when he and his
son Hans Michael said goodbye to Capt. Robert Brown on the ship St.
Andrew and set foot on American soil for the first time. Young
Michael (he followed the German custom of using his middle name) was
one of the "young foreigners who came from Rotterdam by way of Cowes,
England". At the time of his arrival he was 17 years old. After they
left the ship they walked a short distance to the courthouse in
Philadelphia where they were the 13th and 14th men, respectively, to
sign the "Oathe of Allegiance" to the crown of England. (Pennsylvania
German Pioneers, Strassburger Vol.11, p. 366)." "Jacob and Michael
stayed in the Philadelphia area for the next 10 years, and while there
Michael met and married Barbara ______, and their son Jacob was born."
"Not much is learnedof Jacob after this. It is assumed that he
lived a quiet life as a clockmaker. He lived to a ripe old age, and
was laid to rest in Westmoreland County Pa."
