Christian Conrad, 104 years, Coffin's Grove, Delaware county

######################################################
Biographical Souvenir of the Counties of Delaware & Buchanan, IA, Vol II,
1890:
Christian Coonrod, a farmer, residing in Coffin's Grove township, about
six miles northwest of Manchester, is certainly the oldest man in Delaware
county, andprobably the oldest man in northeast Iowa. He says that he was
born September 22, 1780. He would, therefore, at this writing (September,
1890) be 110 years old. There are no means at hand for verifying the dates,
the fact as to thetime of his birth resting upon his memory, unsupported by
any corroborative evidence. Still, if we grant Mr. Coonrod the same privileg
in reference to testifying for himself as to his age that we grant other men,
and take his statement in reference to that fact as we take the statements of
other men, the dateabove given must stand in the record as the time when he
made his appearance in this world. He was born in Cumberland county, PA, and
comes of ancestry which, according to his statement, was remarkable for its
longevity. His father, Jacob Coonrod, lived to be only 55, but his
grandfather Coonrod reached the great age of 106; his grandmother Coonrod was
something over 100, while his mother died at 102 and his maternal grandfather
at 97. He is of German & Frenchextraction, his father having been a native
of Germany & his mother, whose maiden name was Catherine Steinbrook, a native
of France. Christian Coonrod wasreared in Cumberland county, PA. He served
in the War of 1812, taking part in the assault on Queenstown heights & the
battle of Fort Erie, witnessing Perry's great victory on the lake, & concluded
his military career at Sackett's harbor, where he was discharged at the end of
the war. He remembers events connected with the war quite well, but he can
not fix dates. This, and the fact that he lost his discharge papers years
ago, has prevented his getting a pension for his military services at that
time.
Returning to Pennsylvania at the close of the War of 1812, Mr. Coonrod
took up farming, & followed it until the Erie canal was opened to traffic,
when he sought & secured employment on that, running a line boat for several
years between the chief commercial points on that water-way. He had
previously operated a small boat on the Schuylkill river, when Philadelphia
was a place of only a few thousand, Reading, a small country town, &
Pittsburgh consisted of two stores & a boarding-house.

Tim's notes:
it certainly seems like Christian belongs in this family, considering hisparents being
Jacob Conrad and Catharine Steinbrook. The ages seem exaggerated, including
his own. Growing up in Cumberland Co could be possible since Christian was
orphaned at a young age. Or it refers to Northumberland.

• _UID: D9DD1C4BF5284E48A7B2257A1AA872B2AEEE

Notes:

the name Anna Catharine is from the baptism at Reading (since Catharine would
be short for Anna Catharine in the German naming convention). She's mentioned
as just Catharine in 1799 deed.

Catharine signed by the mark "T" on deed L:122 of 1799 when
selling land to their daughter Susanna.

Jacob sold land to Nicholas Shipman in 1805 without his wife's signature, so
presumably she had died by then.

Someone sent me this (need to check my email inbin for source). Not sure if
it will match up:

"One thing he had was a maiden name for Jacob's wife. He has her as Anna Catharin Hinsberger with a question mark following the name. I don't know if he means the spelling maybe wrong or the entire name. She is listed as dau. of Georg Hinsberger and Elizabeth. He also has a father for Jacob, Peter which could be a good guess given how often Peter turns up in the early Conrad ancestors. He has Peter and Jacob being from Prussia."

Captain Wetherhold made a list on Dec 27, 1757 of all the people killed and taken
prisoner by the Indians west of the Lehigh river, in the townships of Lynn, Heidelberg,
and Albany, which totaled 56 persons killed and 10 taken prisoners. In this list
under the date Novemeber 1756, is given the name of Jacob Staynbruck as
killed and Boldis Yeager's daughter taken prisoner.

An account of this occurence was brought to Bethlehem, November 30th, 1756, that
"john Holder came here this Evening, ye 28th Inst. Three Indians Came to the House
of a Certain Man Named Schlosser, and Nockt at the Door, the People within called
who is there?Answer was made, A good Friend; they within not Opening the Door,
they Nockt again, they within Answer'd Who is there? No answer being made from
Without, Then one of the Men Named Stonebrook, Lookt out of the window, when an
Indian Discharged a gun and kill'd him on the Spot. They then open'd the Door, the
Woman and two children Endeavoring to Escape, and the Indians pursued and took
Both Children; One of the Men Fired at the Indians, and Saw One of them fall, when
one of the Girls he had possession of, made her Escape from him, but the other they
took away; the Indian Y't was fired at which fell Cryed out very much, but in a Short
time he got up and made off.

The above Holder informs me he had this Acco't from good authority, said Schlosser's
house is situated in Allemangle.

One would think that Jacob would have had more children between 1749 and 1756 with
his new young wife. Perhaps they were daughters and escape detection?
