Notes:

When they landed in Quebec in 1866, my grandfather John L. Hintz was two (2) years old. With no money and out of provisions John S. Hintz borrowed one (1) dollar from a friend to buy food, for the train trip to Ontario. At this time Canada welcomed immigrants and the government sponsored train travel as far as Berlin (now Kitchener).

When John S. Hintz arrived in Berlin, he found that farmers came to the train station to hire immigrants, and he accepted a day labour job with Wendell Hoffman Bauman, who lived on a road south of Elmira, known as dead mans curve. Two (2) years later, he went to Michigan to a fine pine forested area. He did not like. the sandy soil, feeling that when the trees were taken off, the soil would be too poor for farming. John S. Hintz returned to the Lexington or Bridgeport area. There he bought a small eleven (11) acre piece of land cleared it, and built a house and barn. To help make ends meet, he worked on the railroad for nine (9) years, then later as a day labourer. Hintz, his youngest son. The small farm was later owned by Leo His eldest son John L. Hintz, owned a small farm across the road in the same area, with a good running spring. In 1900 John L. Hintz, sold this farm and moved to a farm near Wallenstein, which was later owned by my father David M. Hintz.

John L. Hintz (October 25th., 1864, to February 3rd., 1947), married Mary W. Martin (June 1st., 1870, to December 8th., 1898), on October 1st., 1893, and had four (4) children;
Daughter Stillborn
David - February 19th., 1896 (my father)
Norman
Noah
May 8th., 1897, to November 28th., 1960.
October 4th., 1898, to February 4th., 1899.
Following the death of Mary W. Martin, John L. Hintz married her older sister Leah Gingerich nee Martin (June 24th., 1865, to November 15th., 1910), on September 9th., 1899. This union caused the family to expand rapidly with the arrival of Leah Gingerich's five (5) children from her first marriage to Solomon Gingerich (May 26th., 1863, to March 9th., 1896), who farmed in Peel Township.

The Gingerich children were;
Adeline - January 18th., 1889, to August 21st., 1974.
Aaron - January 10th., 1890, to November 5th., 1975.
Ananias - August 29th., 1891, to August 23rd., 1893.
David - September 10th., 1892, to June 10th., 1970.
Hannah - July 12th., 1894, to July 25th., 1975.
This second marriage for both John and Leah produced six (6) more children;
Catherine - August 6th., 1900,
Simion - April 16th., 1902, to October 30th., 1920.
Lydian - May 11th., 1903,
Eli -September 25th., 1904, to June 21st., 1980.
Lavina - November 12th., 1907, to January 17th., 1954.
Rebecca - November 12th., 1910 - Stillborn.

In later years some members of our family decided to add on 'e' before the 'i' in Hintz, thus we now have Hintz spelled Heintz.

The Gingerich's also came from Europe originally. Micheal Gingerich (born 1725), a farmer immigrated to Lancaster county Pennsylvania, from the city of Strausburg, Germany in 1747.

Micheal Gingerich had a son Abraham who was born in 1751. Abraham sent his eldest son David to Canada to make a thorough inspection of the nature of the soil, timber, water and advisability of settling there. He was impressed with the land, selected a lot and returned to Pennsylvania in the fall of 1800. In the spring of 1801, David Gingerich came to Canada with his parents and brothers and sisters, some of whom were married, settling east of Preston. David's younger brother John Gingerich, had a son named Moses, who was the father of Solomon Gingerich mentioned earlier.

HINTZ FAMILY HISTORY

Originally the Hintz family came from Switzerland in the early 1600's to an area in Germany known as Prussia and settled in a small hamlet or dorf, whose name is not exactly known, near the city of Leipzig. In this area of Europe, Germany, Poland and Hungary meet with common boarders southeast of Leipzig. At the time of the Reformation, Switzerland had closed boarders not allowing any citizens to emigrate. To overcome this problem, the Hintz family travelled at night by horse and carriage until they reached the boarder area. When the family encountered the police patrolling the boarder, they left the carriage, frightening the horses so they ran away and then hid in cover on the roadside. The police who were on horseback and could travel faster chased the runaway horses and empty carriage, thus allowing the Hintz family to escape across the boarder.

My great-grandfather John S. Hintz, whose mother's name was Steiner, lived from 1833 to 1929. John S. Hintz married Magdelina Lushinski, a woman of Polish descend. Seven (7) children resulted from this marriage, four (4) boys and three (3) girls, from which my grandfather John L. Hintz was the eldest and lived from 1864 to 1947. Having a mother of Polish orgin, enabled John L. Hintz to understand and talk Polish.
My great-grandfather John S. Hintz in his younger years was tailor and a reserve soldier in the Kaisers army of Germany. a During this period of time Germany was frequently at war with Austria. When John L. Hintz was nine (9) months old, John S. Hintz was called to active duty and was away from home for more than a year. During this time of service and because of all the wars, John S. Hintz decided to and started to make plans to immigrate to Canada.

John S. Mintz's wife Magdelina had a step family that were very helpful in preparing for the voyage to the new land. To avoid spoilage of food they dried fish and vegetables, baked and dried bread, and roasted hams twice. The trip was made during the hot summer on a sailing vessel that took nine (9) weeks to complete. Along with the prepared dried foods, they ate huge bowls of oatmeal porridge and by the end of the trip food and water ran very low.

When they landed in Quebec in 1866, John L. Hintz was two (2) years old. With no money and out of provisions, John S. Hintz borrowed one (1) dollar from a friend to buy food for the train trip to Ontario. At this time Canada welcomed immigrants and the government sponsored train travel as far as Berlin (now Kitchener, ON).

When John S. Hintz arrived in Berlin, he found that farmers came to the train station to hire immigrants, and he accepted a day labour job with Wendell Hoffman Bauman, who lived on a road south of Elmira, known as dead man's curve. Two (2) years later John S. Hintz went to Michigan to a fine pine forested area. He did not like the sandy soil, feeling that when the trees were taken off, the soil would be too poor for farming. John S. Hintz then returned to the Lexington or Bridgeport area. There he bought a small eleven (11) acre piece of land and cleared it, and built a house and barn.

Hintz, owned a small farm across the road in the same area, with a good running spring. In 1900, John L. Hintz sold this farm and moved to a farm near Wallenstein, which was later owned by his son David M. Hintz.

Probably the best-known Mennonite potter of the region was William K. Eby. Eby, whose father Potter Sam taught the trade to him and his brother Cyrus, bought 10 acres of land with an existing pottery on it a half-mile south of Conestoga where he established the region's longest-running pottery business, Conestogo Pottery.

WILLIAM K. EBY.

Here is a familiar character in this section. He was born on the old Eby homestead (now the property of William Scheifle and where the latter lives), on July 31, 1831. He has lived in the vicinity of Conestogo all his life excepting two yeara that he was working at his trade in Markham. He learned the pottery trade with his father, the late Samuel Eby in Waterloo, years before he had reached maturity. At that time Waterloo contained only one store kept by Daniel Snider. He also recollects the time when not a building stood upon the present site of Conestogo. His father was familiarly known as "Potter Sam" to distinguish him from other relations of the same name. Another was called "Indian Sam," he being a popular trader among the Indians. The subject of my sketch was married, when twenty two years of age, in 1853, to Susinnah Detweiler, who was born August 8, 1832 They had nine children. He is of Swiss descent, his grandfather, the late George Eby, coming from Pennsylvania to Canada, where his father, Samuel M. Eby, was born in 1805. Mr. Eby has been a resident of Conestogo for about forty years. Here he has conducted his pottery and tilled his small farm of ten acres. He is an expert mechanic in his trade and can turn out almost anything in the pottery line, has now on hand quite a number of fine specimens of his handiwork, and disposes of a large amount of his work in the course of a year. His memory is remarkably keen and he is not averse to imparting information regarding the early days of this section to an interested listener.
