FAMILY CEMETERIES


I have inscriptions from hundreds of cemeteries in the U.S. alone. This section is dedicated to Hiestand Family Cemeteries and is just a sampling of what I have.

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

Hempfield Township

Private cemetery on Hiestand farm near Salunga, east of Spooky Nook Road, west of Pennsylvania Malleable Factory, South of 283 North of Railroad tracks. The 1727 immigrant Jacob Hiestand (?-1772) warranted this land on 14 May 1735 as 300 acres, which were surveyed for him on 14 April 1735, in Hempfield Township from the Penn family (John, Richard, & Thomas) Proprietors of Pennsylvania. See the map below. The land passed to his second son Abraham Hiestand (1739- 1772) and then to his son Johannes listed below. This farm along with the Hiestand family cemetery located on it remained in the Hiestand family until 1943 when the 108 acres was sold. The remaining 95 acres was sold in 1974, to the Armstrong Cork Company. This company built a large warehouse on the farm but the family cemetery and old farm buildings are still preserved.

Northampton County, Pennsylvania

Allen Township

Hiestand-Musselman Cemetery, This cemetery still exists, today. However, it is on private property and is in deplorable condition.

History of Northampton County, Pensylvania, Davis, 1877 p.244.
Local History: XLVII - Lower Saucon, Bethlehem, Allen, and East Allen Townships :

Within the township of East Allen, besides the ancient Presbyterian
Graveyard, already mentioned, there is also an old burying-ground on lands
of Henry Hiestand, a short distance from the road about half way from
Kreidersville to Bethlehem. It is enclosed by a stone wall and was formerly
used by the Musselman and Hiestand families.

The following are copies of inscriptions on some of the tombstones:

Sacred to the memory of Jacob Musselman, born November 1730, died May 16th, 1784;
aged 53 years, 5 months, and 1 day.

Maria Musselman, born 1739, died March 27th, 1823; aged 84 years and 1 month

Liberty Township

Hiestand Cemetery, Northeast quarter of Section 36. Southside of Leonard Road, 1 mile East of State Route 158, about one mile south of Baltimore in the southeast corner of Liberty Township, Fairfield County, Ohio. On 6 March 1812 at the U.S land office in Chillicothe, Ohio, Joseph Hiestand (1779-1843) patented this land as the East half of section 36, township 16 north, range 19 west.

Bishop Samuel Hiestand U.B.C. (1782-1838) was buried in Bethel Cemetery, in the northeast quarter of section 1, township 15 North, range 19 West, in the northeast corner of Greenfield township, Fairfield county, Ohio (about three quarters of a mile East of SR 158 on the road to Pleasantville and about two miles southeast of Baltimore).

Hiestand Cemetery, 3 miles southeast of Pickerington on the northeast corner of the intersection of U.S. Route 256 and State and County Road 111. On 7 January 1814 Jacob Hiestand (1760-1814) registered his patent for this land containing 204 acres in the Northwest quarter of section 18, township 16, and range 19 (in Liberty Township, Fairfield County), at the U.S. Land Office at Chillicothe, Ohio.

Washington County, Indiana

Jackson Township

Hiestand Cemetery about 1 mile North of Martinsburg on State Route 335 to Pekin about 300 yards west of road behind a farm house. Enclosed by a stone wall. This farm that his descendants know as the family farm was bought by Rev. John Hiestand U.B.C. (1772-1827) on 20 August 1827. 350 acres in the northwest quarter of section one of township one South, range four East (This was the Ehpriam and Anna Goss (another Swiss family from Zurich GASS) farm, first settled in 1808). The outline on the map shows the 153 acres that went to his son Rev. Isaac Hiestand (1806-1862) and then to his son Isaac H. Hiestand (1837-1919). (This is my family, the author)

They misspelled the family name on the Headstone of the first two as Heistand. I have several copies of Rev. John's signature and he most definitely spelled his name Hiestand. Also their German family Bible is still in the family which backs this up.

Roll of Honor

Lest We Forget


John 15:13; “greater love has no one than they lay down their life for their friend,”


Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

«The oldest coat-of-arms is from 1560, according to a metal and glass stained glass window from 1591.»
Volume I. Monumenta Heraldica, Meinrad Liebich, Einsiedeln, Schwyz
(That should be the one with the man standing on the ground.)

Emil Hiestand of Richterswil maintains that it is the one with the buffalo horn!

A coat-of-arms DOES NOT belong to a particular family name but rather to a specific line or branch. Different lines with the same name are distinguished by the various coats-of-arms. Having a family coat-of arms DOES NOT mean we are descended from nobilty. In Swizerland anybody can have a coat-of arms. Commoners were already taking coats-of arms for themselves in 12th and 13th centuries. Usually because they held a public office or belonged to a guild and needed a seal for official purposes. If you are descended from one of the colonial immigrants to America you are not entitled to any of the following documented coats-of-arms as they stand here. You are not descended from any of the men who originally bore these arms. See the rules 3 and 4 below.

Notice the Catholic Hiestands from Canton Schwyz use gold on blue. The colors of the Barons von Wädenswil were silver on blue like the Buffalo Horn but are now like the the colors of Richterswil, red on gold, though they were originally black on gold.

If you are descended from the colonial immigrants, though you cannot use the exact coats-of-arms depicted here you may create your own and use the above as a basis. In accordance with custom you must make a change to the shield or the crest above the helmet. You can add something or take something away. Notice how the fisherman Robert Hiestand from Freienbach kept the anchor but depicted his occupation. The other coats-of-arms with anchors are from Hiestands traced back to Freienbach-Pfäffikon. You should choose a coat-of-arms to represent your entire branch and not choose an occupational motif unless its an hereditary one i.e. you are still a farmer or stockmen etc. I would suggest keeping the concept of a man dressed in red on green piece of ground in a gold background as a start since it depicts our name. Change his style of clothes his hat as seen above for the Chülpen branch. Since the Americans are descended from religious refugees and religion has played such an important part in our various branches' histories I would suggest leaving the pacifist beard for our Anabaptist members. Maybe open hands, or praying hands like by Albrecht Dürrer. Perhaps put something in his hands like a dove or a cross. For those who served in the military you could put your branch and or rank insignia in the crest. Or maybe your rating i.e. pilot or navigator wings or Surface Warfare insignia. But these would make it a personal coat-of-arms rather then one to be used be an entire line or branch. How about something American like a bald eagle in the crest. It should be something simple like the pitchfork or the Maltese cross and in the original two or three colors.

Here are some sample ideas.
1, 1A, 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 4, 4A

PLACE NAMES
HIESTAND

Jacob Hiestand (1750-1833) received a patent from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on 3 September 1787, for 200 3/8 acres on a small branch of Lehigh Creek in Northampton County called "Hiestand's Delight" for £81.2.6. He had already bought this land from Henrick Rees who had waranted it in 1738.

Then on 7 May 1790, Jacob received the patent for 72 1/2 acres in Allen Township, Northampton County, called "Hiestandburg" from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, for two pounds one shilling. He had purchased this land from his brother-in-law Christian Musselman on 16 January 1790 who bought it from his father, Jacob Musselman, on 9 April 1774, who received a warrant for it on 8 January 1774. This is the land that the Hiestand-Musselman Cemetery mentioned above is on. Hiestandburg in turn was passed down to Jacob's nephew Abraham Hiestand (1787-1863) son of Jacob's brother David Hiestand (1755-1846), who in turn passed it down to his son Henry Hiestand (1824-1884)

"Upon this land, in 1804, he had laid out a town, which he named after himself, "Hiestandville." Each lot holder was entitled to half of an acre of ground. A number of lots were sold, and comfortable log or frame dwellings were erected upon them. the village was not imporved much until the mid nineteenth century, when several comfortable frame houses had been erected. There was a large brick schoolhouse at its southern limits. It had been the resort for whipporwills in the neighborhood for many years, and the village was nicknamed "Whipporwilltown," by which name it was more generally known than by the proper one. Its inhabitants were industrious and frugal. The few acres they owned were planted in tobacco or with vegitables cultivated for the Columbia and Lancaster Markets. In 1875, it had forty buildings and a population of two hundred". (This town is no longer in existence)

PLACES NAMED BY OR DISCOVERED BY HIESTANDS

Sinking Springs, Highland County, Ohio
On 10 August 1811, Jacob Hiestand (1750-1824) from Botetourt County, Virginia, his son-in-laws Peter Gorman and Daniel Amen along with several others bought a one half acre plot to use as a cemetery which became the Suiter-Williams Cemetery in 1833. Then on 15 November 1815, Jacob with his son-in-law Allen Guillford, platted a town which he called Middletown, because its location is about half way between Maysville and Chillicothe, on the old Zane trace. When the post office was established about 1820, it could not be named Middletown because there was already a post office by that name in the state. This is when Sinking Spring was chosen as the town's name. In 1816, Jacob started selling lots in the town. There is an account that the members of his church (Church of the Brethren, German Baptist, Dunkard), believed that making towns and selling town lots was an unchristian enterprise and tried to disuade him from this. Apparently to no avail.

Kentuckytown, (Ann Eliza), Grayson County, Texas
In 1850, Dr. Josiah Landis Hiestand/Heiston M.D. (1812-1854) from Campbellsville, Kentucky went to Grayson County, Texas, where he purchased land eventually totaling 2000 acres of land where he established Kentucky Town, which was originally called "Ann Eliza" after his eldest daughter (1836-1851). In 1853, he brought his family to settle in Grayson County, where he built a drug store. He continued to work as a doctor while managing his expansive lands.

Ute Iron Springs, Ruxton Avenue, Manitou Springs, Colorado

Marengo Cave National Landmark, Marengo, Crawford County, Indiana
As related by his son Thomas C. Hiestand (1901-1979), when Orris was just past his twelfth birthday (Monday March 9th, 1884) on a Sunday afternoon he was hiking in the woods along Cave Spring Creek with his sister, Blanche, and they stumbled into a sink hole, situated in a thick woods and undergrowth of vines and ferns. Orris let himself get down in the hole enough to see that an opening and darkness extended to an unknown depth. The word was spread in a few days and the next Sunday a group of larger boys let themselves down into a large cave, with beautiful stalactites and stalagmites. Another story has Blanche scaring up a rabbit and Orris seeing it go into the sink hole. Today at the entrance steps down to the floor of Marengo Cave a bronze plaque commemorates the discovery by Blanche and Orris Hiestand (1872-1958).

Another source gives the date as 18 August 1883, a Saturday and after Orris' eleventh birthday, and boys in pursuit of a rabbit. The cave's (manmade) entrance is just east of the old town cemetery and runs underneath it. This was on a neighboring farm and has never been owned by the Hiestand family, though the plaque gives credit to Orris and Blanche lends credence to the family story with the exact time forgotten through the years.

Hiestand Family Businesses


Dr. F Cummings visited Hiestand's Tavern at Sinking Springs, Highland County, Ohio in August of 1807.
A History of Adams County, Stivers, E.B., West Union, Ohio, 1900, pp. 131-132.

"The land was Poor, and no house on the road until we arrived at Heistand's tavern, four miles from Marshon's, where we met the Lexington stage. Heistand is a Pennsylvania German (from York, PA) , and has a good and plentiful house, in a pleasant situation, called the Sinking Springs, from a great natural curiosity near it. On side of a low hill now in cultivation, are three large holes, each about twenty feet deep and twenty feet in diameter, about sixty paces apart, with a subterranean communication by which the water is conveyed from one to the other, and issues in a fine rivulet at a fourth opening near the house, where Hiestand's milk house is placed very judiciously. The spring is copious and the water very fine."

About the year 1809, Jacob Hiestand (ca.1750-1824) decided to build a hewed-log barn on his property next to Sinking Spring. It was a large barn, and required many men to build it, some of them coming from as far away as thirty miles, met each other for the first time in their lives at the "barn raising." About fifty of them came on horse back, bringing their axes with them. The county was still so wild at this time that the wild animals in the wooded hills of the area did not have much fear of the humans. Wolves actually came into the yards and killed sheep. Jacob's son John, who was then about eight years old, recounted that a large black bear came into the shed attached to the barn the following year.

Hiestand Hotel or Hiestand Tavern, Hiestand Station, Spring Garden Township, York County, Pennsylvania.
History of York County Pennsylvania, Chicago, J.H. Beers & Co., 1907, p.1071.

In 1812, Abraham Hiestand (1771-1859) had purchased 123 acres in Spring Garden Township along the Wrightsville Turnpike from Michael Beard for $29,000. On this property stood a limestone block house built in 1738. This stone house was originally sixteen feet square and contained two stories. There were three windows and a door on the first story, and four windows on the second. About twenty years before the Revolution, Michael Beard, or Bard, built an addition, which made the house in the form of the letter "L."

In 1816, Abraham enlarged the building to its present (1907) dimensions, which in nearly eighty feet long and fifty feet wide, then the largest stone house in York County. He continued the business of farming and distilling and also owned and conducted the "Hiestand Hotel," which was a prominent stopping place for wagoners before railroads were built. On the second floor of the building was a ball room, fifty feet long and thirty feet wide. This ball room and the bountiful suppers provided by the landlord and his wife, were a great inducement to sleighing parties, during the middle of the last century. Four hundred persons on one occasion are said to have banqueted here and took part in a merry dance, about 1852, when the Hiestand Hotel was still in the hey-day of its popularity to the lovers of amusement and the terpsichorian art. Abraham only kept hotel for a few years and in 1828, built a large brick mansion at the toll gate, later owned by his son John Hiestand (1797-1872), and grandson John S. Hiestand (1837-1923), both of whom succeeded each other also in the conduct of the hotel, 200 yards further down the pike. This property was purchased before 1907, by John W. Gable, of Hellam, whose wife, Elizabeth Hiestand (1855-?), was a great-granddaughter of Abraham.

In the early 1980's Abraham's house was moved, as a protected historical sight, to the center of a local cemetery, where it serves as a museum and visitors center. There were secret rooms and tunnels found underneath where the house stood, lending credence to the stories that he was involved in the "Underground Railroad" helping escaped slaves from the South to freedom on his many business trips to Baltimore.

A. HIESTAND HOLDING AG Swiss Gourmet Bakery CH-8952 Schlieren-Zürich
Seit 1967 Begründer und ehemaliger Inhaber Alfred Hiestand (1943-)
Hiestand is a Swiss bakery group products with subsidiaries in Germany, Austria, Poland, Malaysia, Japan and Turkey.
The company's bakery goods include croissants, bread, rolls, pastries, snacks and pretzels.
Hiestand's history dates back to 1967, when Alfred Hiestand opened a bakery specialising in the supply of fresh bakery products to the catering trade. Ever since the start of frozen product distribution in Switzerland in 1975, the company has continued to grow steadily.
In 2000 the company acquired Swisse Bakers (now Hiestand Malaysia), a wholesale bakery in Malaysia. In the same year Hiestand took over the Mischke & Moser AG wholesale bakery in Baden, Switzerland, while moving into Eastern Europe.
The company then purchased one of Germany's biggest distributor of frozen products, Gerd Suhr Produkt-Systeme, in 2001, but the biggest acquisition in the history of the Group was made in 2006, when Hiestand took over the Fricopan Group.
Irish Agricultural Wholesale Society (IAWS) Group plc bought 22 per cent of Hiestand from founder Alfred Hiestand in 2003. The Irish baker has raised its stake to 64 per cent by purchasing Hiestand shares owned by Lion Capital, the leveraged buyout firm that owns Weetabix cereal.
Dublin-based IAWS will get the Swiss company's Fricopan garlic baguettes and Hiestand croissants, which are winning market share from Europe's traditional bakeries.
ARYZTA AG was formed when Dublin-based IAWS Group, plc merged with Zürich-based Hiestand Holding AG in August 2008. The company has a dual primary listing on the SWX Swiss Exchange and ISE Irish Exchanges.
