| 3804 | I32764 | There has been lots of confusion over at least 2 Johannes Binkleys. According to Bridget Rogier who has done a lot of research on the Binkley family, our Johannes came over with Felix Landis in 1719. He is not the Johannes who was the son of Christian Binkley, born in 1695, who came to PA in 1736 and died in 1757. n Rupp's Thirty Thousand Names, P. 436, where a reference is made to the arrival of Johannes Binkley and Felix Landis during 1719.his Johannes came to America from the Canton Bern, Switzerland, along with a party of emigrants, which included the Landis and Herr families.The party found settlement in a locality then known as "old Hickory," nearby to the present city of Lancaster, and now being the townships of Lampeter and Manor, in Lancaster County, PA. These Binkleys spread over the township of Manheim during the course of time, and there is now a small community there called Binkley. It is not known at this time, if these Binkleys were related, or a connection, of those of the name to be dealt with hereafter, but at this time it would seem that there were no blood ties, this side of Europe at least, and it would appear that they were of the Mennonite and Dunkard faithe, although there were many Binkleys found in the records of the Lutheran Church of Lancaster City, 1780-1746."nnes and Barbara for 100 pounds.e the third part of all movable goods and income of the plantation until my son Johannes turns twenty one.

| 3809 | I33240 | Imprisoned at Othenbach, he was not given anything to eat for many days, so that even some criminals that were confined near him in another place, took pity on him and managed to get some food to him...But when the doorkeeper perceived this, he was put into another prison. Finally, however, they gave him some food: but he was so impaired in his body that he could not bear food any more. Yet in his greatest distress he was carried to church, during the sermon, where he, O dreadful inhumanity! was thrown under a bench; but he soon after gave up the ghost, which he had commended into the hands of God.onscience, escaped from her bonds.

Confiscation of the household of Hans Landis...When the head governors of Horgan met with Margaretha Hochstrasser, the widow of the late Hannsen Landis of the Horgenberg, after long imprisonment (they) admonished her to leave her beliefs and return to the church. Although these men spoke kindly and gently with her, she would not reconsider...It is to be considered what to do. She cannot be talked to or interviewed. She will not be converted and it would not be good to let her stay single. That is why she shall be taken to the Spital (hospital) in the death room and bound and only the most necessary provisions given. No one will be allowed to speak to her or enter the room, in hopes that she may in this wise be listening and converted." Sources for this information: date: Abt 1554 (Ref: Bittinger LANDIS p 29) |

Hans was an ordained minister. |
| 3814 | I33248 | Another incident of interest, recited in the Martyr's Mirror, is the presecution and death of Verena Landis in 1643. The name Verana is no doubt a variant of Veronica, or Fronica, the latter being a family name carried by the Landis and intermarried branches in America through many generations.t go with the beadles. As she could not accompany them, she was compelled to make a promise that she would remain a prisoner in her own house, which promise she accordingly fulfilled. However, as they treated her very harshly, and supplied her with very bad provisions, death was, in a very short time, the consequence: thus she departed her life, full of hope and joy; and because she suffered this for the name of the Lord, he will reward her hereafter with a crown of everlasting bliss, and free her from eternal death." |
