      Name: Daniel Schuy
      Name: Born Daniel Juis
      Birth: ABT 6 APR 1703 in Oggersheim, Pfalz, DEU 1
      Death: MAY 1777 in Bethel Twp, Lancaster Co., PA 2
      Baptism: 9 APR 1703 Oggersheim Reformed: David Juy & Maria, sponsors 3
      Immigration: 9 SEP 1732 Philadelphia, on the ship Johnson, from Rotterdam.
      Note: In spite of the claims of other family historians, Daniel was baptised, not born, on 9 Apr, 1703. (Reformed KirchenBuchen, Oggersheim, Pfalz, DEU.) Given the usual practice of the German Reformed community of the day, that would place his birth sometime between 03 Apr and 06 Apr of 1703.
      Daniel Schuy arrived in the Pennsylvania Colony on 19 Sep, 1732, aboard the Johnson from Rotterdam. Apparently unable to write his name, he was originally listed as Daniel "Schwe" (an inadvertent Anglicazation of "Juis"?) on List A (Passenger List), then recorded as Daniel "Schew" (An accidential transposition of the original mistake?) on List B (Signers of the Oath of Allegiance), and finally, on List C (Signers of the Oath of Abjuration) he appears as Danl Schuhl. With Daniel were Maria Margaretha (Schilling), his wife, "Lodawick" - the clerk's bungled attempt at "Ludwig", the nickname of Lewis Henry, a son, and Anna Maria, their eldest daughter. The name of his younger son, Johannes, is absent from the list.

      To date, there is an 8 1/2 year gap between the arrival of Daniel and his family in Philadelphia abt. 19 Sep, 1732 and the next time his name appears in the public record. On 18 Jun, 1741, Daniel Schuy and wife Anna Maria served as sponsors at the baptism of Anna Margaret Matern -- dau. of Thomas and Anna Margaret Matern -- at Swatara Reformed Church, in Bethel Twp, in what is now Lebanon, but was then Lancaster Co, PA.

    • DANIEL SHUEY'S WILL.
      In the name of God amen I Daniel Shuey, Senior, of Bethel Township in the County of Lancaster and in the Province of Pennsylvania being sick and weak of Body but of perfect Understanding and Memory Thanks be to God for the Same, and calling to Mind my Mortality, knowing that it is appointed for all men once to Die, I will order and make this my Last Will and Testament, in the first of all I recommend my Soul into the Hands of Almighty God, who gave it me, and my Body to the Earth, as the mother of us all, to be buried in a christian Burial Place, at the Discretion of my Family and Executors, not doubting a general Resurrection of the Dead by the Almighty Power of God. And concerning my temporal Estate wherewith God has blessed me in my Lifetime, I bequeath the same in Manner and Form following. Imprimis I will that all my just Debts shall be paid of immediately after my Death. Item I give and bequeath unto my Son Peter Shuey One Shilling lawful money, over and above of what he hath received of me already and no more, which said Shilling my executors shall pay unto him after my Death, he having before in my Lifetime received his share from me. Item I give and bequeath unto my Son in Law Henry Moser likewise One Shilling lawful Money and no more, which shall also be paid to him by my Executor when demanded after my Death ; and what the said Henry Moser is indebted to me in Bonds or Notes he shall pay to my Executors. Item I give and bequeath unto my eldest son Ludwig Schuy or to his left Heirs the Sum of Five Pounds lawful Money, which said Sum shall be for his first Birthright, which shall likewise be paid by my Executors after my Death. Item I give and bequeath unto my son Daniel Shuey One Shilling lawful Money to be paid to him by my Executors after my Death, and he shall demand no more of my Estate because he has received much in my Lifetime of me. Item I give and bequeath unto my loving Wife Mary Martha the Sum of Two Hundred Pounds lawful Money, to be paid to my said Wife by my Executors immediately after my Death, or to give her Security for it : further my said Wife shall have and keep all the Household Goods what is mine in my Dwelling whatsoever it may be named shall be her own and shall have and hold her free Habitation in my Dwelling house and Garden, and so She may provide herself, and have her Livelyhood of the Two Hundred Pounds aforesaid during her Life after my Death and no Body shall be hindering her to enjoy what I give and bequeath her, and she shall have Liberty to give and bequeath the same how, and to whom she will at her Decease, all the moveables which her own, and none shall make a Pretension to any Thing against her Will. Item my Will is further that after the above bequeathing is paid and Distributed as aforementioned by my Executors, which I shall name hereafter, that then the Remainder of my Estate shall partly be divided amongst my Heirs in equal Shares, their being six in number viz. Ludwig Schuy or in his stead his Heirs, John Schuy and Martin Schuy my Sons, and my Three Daughters viz. Anna Margaret the Wife of Nicholas Pontius, Catharine the Wife of Jacob Giger and Barbara the Wife of George Feesers. Now these mentioned Six in Number Shall divide my left estate amongst them in equal shares as aforesaid. Item, yet it is further my will in Respect of my Daughter Elizabeth and her son Christian Moser, whom she got with her husband Henry Moser, as also the Heirs of my Said Son Peter Shuey, whom I will remember yet in this my Last Will, and so I bequeath unto them a Sum of Two Hundred Pounds lawful Money as it is current now in Pennsylvania which said sum of Two Hundred Pounds will be due to my Estate according to a Bond in the Year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty four, which is the last Term due to me, of my Sold Plantation which said Sum of Two Hundred Pounds I now bequeath in Form and manner following. The Heirs of my Son Peter Shuey shall have thereof One Hundred Pounds lawful Money, which my Executors shall pay them, when the money is come in, in equal Shares, when they shall be arrived to their full ages but not sooner, No Body shall make any Pretensions, save his bodily Issues or Children, as many as there are. Item it is farther my Will in Respect of my Daughter's Son Christian Moser. I give and bequeath unto him Fifty Pounds lawful Money of the above sum, and he shall have the above sum of Fifty Pounds as a legacy from me, which shall likewise be paid to him by my Executors, tho' not sooner till be is arrived to his age, and no more under his Guardians is. But if he should come to die before he should come to his Age, than the said Fifty Pounds shall fall to the said Six Heirs, and be divided by them amongst them, in equal Shares. Item farther in Respect of my Daughter Elizabeth it is my Will that She shall have of the above Sum Fifty Pounds lawful money but in no other Wise than in the following Form and Manner, that if She my said Daughter Elizabeth should come into a poor State of Widowhood, or for her Person in other miserable Circumstances, that she should suffer that than and in such a case my Executors shall give her as Necessity shall require of the aforesaid Fifty Pounds, but the full sum She shall not have in her Hands at once, and no Body shall make any pretension or seek a right to the said money ; and if it cannot be proved that my Daughter really finds herself in said Circumstances and that she has her Livelyhood without this, than the said Fifty Pounds shall also be divided amongst the aforesaid Six Heirs in equal Shares. Item it is further my Will in Respect of the said Sum of Two Hundred Pounds, if they come into the Executors' Hands that they shall put it out upon Interest if they can, what they not lay out, and such Interest shall also be divided according to the Legacies to those to whom it belongs, as is mentioned and described and not other wise.
