He7 John/Jacob Hester

The current state of research indicates that Jacob/John/ Hester may have been the son of Robert Hester He8 and Sarah ? born 1729/30 Died in Bourbon or Mason Co Kentucky after 1790 owned land (next to Barnabas Gilbert) in German Twp Fayette Co PA sold before 1788/9, whose Mother may have been Margaret Hester, wife of Nicholas Gilbert b 1719 Married Abigail Wright about 1760 Abigail may have been of a prominent religious family. The seat of the Wrights of Gosfield Essex would have have allowed easy escape to the Netherlands in case of political difficulties or religious persecution, as our legend suggests, our Wrights were. This family did bring forth one of the leading Puritan Protestants during the reign of James I and some members did emigrate to the Massachusettes Bay Colony, although specific emigration to the Netherlands has yet to be established. James Hester and Abigail Wright had issue:	He6 John Hester The fact that the birth place of Robert Hester has not been established and that this area of London has always had a large foreign and particularly German and Jewish population raises the question as to whether James' parents were immigrants from the Netherlands or Germany, although this does not fit in with the Presbyterian affiliation of John Hester He6. The family legend is that the Hesters were of English descent but living in Holland because of religious persecution until John/Jacobs emigration to America. Christening: 17 JAN 1730 at St Mary Whitechapel, Stepney, London, England. This is likely to have officially been an Anglican Church but many with Puritan and Presbyterian leanings did attend Anglican services resulting in the less Catholic "low church" services. He was about 15 at the time of the Battle of Culloden, possibly just old enough to get swept up in the plots of Bonny Prince Charlie and march off - if there was any Stewart affiliation on his mother's side. But that would have brought deportation around 1746. Immigration 7 years later to Quaker country indicates more Puritan/Presbyterian leanings and the desire to escape the established Anglican Church with its universal tithes and "high church" liturgy. Only the marriage of his son to a Hugenot family that had been located in Hoffenheim near Sinsheim Germany for about 2 generations before emigrating to America and the legend that he emigrated from Amsterdam give rise to the idea he may have been of German or Dutch descent, while his son's affiliation with the Presbyterians indicate English descent. Pennsylvania at this time had a large number of German immigrants living in their own communities and maintaining their Low German. So German descent on the part of John/Jacob/James Hester who may have been of Lutheran affiliation, but more likely seems to have been originally of Mennonite persuasion. And the Gilberts may have spoken more French than German in Hoffenheim near Sinsheim and been glad to accept English rather than German. On the other hand, we also note that in the Elizabethan era, Sir Humphrey Gilbert and others of his family were involved in fighting on the side of the Huguenots, and this engagement may have continued into the 30 Years War opening the possibility that the Hoffenheim Gilberts may be of the same family. The fact that his son, John, became a Presbyterian seems to be a result of Abigail Wright's influence, who may preferred the Presbyterian church and English speaking community in Pennsylvania. The haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1a for John/James/Jacob Hester matches 3 persons out of 20,925 people from England, this is < 0.1% of the population tested from England. But Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands also have comparably significant figures. So the group seems to be a rare subclade among Saxons in general. 37 Marker Y-DNA Matches for E12086 One Step Mutations Country Your Matches Comment Match Total Country Total Percentage England 3 - 3 20,925 < 0.1% Germany 2 - 2 10,627 < 0.1% Ireland 2 - 2 12,206 < 0.1% Netherlands 1 - 1 1,465 0.1 Portugal 1 - 1 682 0.1% Scotland 1 - 1 9,788 < 0.1% Spain 2 - 2 2,999 0.1% Switzerland 4 - 4 1,561 0.3% United Kingdom 1 Great Britain 1 9,300 < 0.1% Wales 1 - 1 1,758 0.1% R1b1a2a1a1a is observed most frequently in Europe, especially western Europe, but with notable frequency in southwest Asia.

DNA distribution maps. R1b subclades Hester project YDNA results so also John Hester b 11 Jun 1765 in Pennsy1vania Some provisional results of autosomal DNA testing indicate remote relation of the author and a third Hester cousin to test persons of Mennonite descent. One of the Mennonite areas in the period following 1525 was East Frieland, where the author's Wyckoff also came from. This fell under Prussia and Lutheran domination in 1744 shortly before Frederick the Great annexed Silesia and sparked the War of the Austrian Succession. Any 16 year old of pacifist conviction there would have been well advised to move to a neutral country like the Netherlands for recruits were in great demand and "volunteers" may have often had a bayonette at their back. This supports the family legend that James/Jacob Hester eloped with Abigail Wright from Amsterdam about 1753 to Pennsylvania, as Amsterdam could have been reached in a day's sail with a small boat. Saving for a passage to America would have taken some time, and a newcomer would not have found a get-rich-quick plan very easily. On the otherhand the father of our John/Jacob/James may have left East Friesland and been aforesaid Robert in Whitechapel, become aquainted with Puritanism or Presbyterianism there and later resettled in Amsterdam for business, political or religious reasons.	WHITECHAPEL, St. Mary, (St. Mary Matfelon)Whitechapel Road [out of Stepney in 1323] bombed, WW2, not rebuilt. 1951 parish divided between Spitalfields Christ Church with All Saints and Stepney St. Augustine w.S.Philip. see SAINT MARY, WHITECHAPEL, WHITECHAPEL HIGH STREET, TOWER HAMLETS for registers at LMA Parish is no. 11
High Street Whitechapel about 1894 The church of St. Mary Matfelon - to give it the old historic name - is itself a message of beauty and graciousness in such a quarter. Its noble spire rises two hundred feet in height, far above the houses of the populous and struggling district around, a striking and commanding feature visible far and wide. The beautifully-toned bells are filling the air with their inviting peal. Through the crowded streets of loungers, well-to-do church-goers of the middle classes are wending their way to morning service. We enter with them, and find ourselves in a large, spacious, impressive, and richly-decorated building. The church, it should be said, is the grateful and lavish gift of a former parishioner: the lofty roof, richly-coloured walls, and the sculptures and stained-glass windows betoken alike the costliness of the offering and the giver's conception of a great church for East London. As St. Mary's, Whitechapel, is one of the foremost in popularity and equipment for parish work, and one of the best attended of the great East End churches, everything that may account for its reputation will well deserve attention. The church seats thirteen hundred people. The services are fully choral; the Psalms are chanted both morning and evening, the congregation being led by the surpliced choir. The musical service, though keeping pace with the increasing capacities of present-day congregations, is always well within congregational lines. The growing delight in singing as an act of common worship which now characterises all Christian denominations, and which is a great feature of all East London places of worship is indeed amply provided for at St. Mary's, and that, too, in a way which shows how Evangelicalism is able without compromise to take full share of the latitude which is now so commonly assigned to congregational utterance in church. Sunday evening at St. Mary's is a still larger and more notable demonstration of church-going, and the scene is one of the most encouraging sights which East London can show. The church is filled with at least a thousand persons of the working and poorer classes of Whitechapel. The beautiful and impressive service is an experience not to be forgotten. The sermon, too, is redolent of the place and the people. In the evening the vicar applies himself to the actual circumstances and difficulties of the congregation he knows so well. Here it may be mentioned that the population of the parish is twenty thousand, and that every family of this large number, Jew and Gentile alike, is regularly visited by the rector and his assistant clergy. Mr. Sanders can accordingly put his hand at once on the ills amidst which his people live. Mr. Sanders' picture of the underpaid industries of Whitechapel and the results in bodies and souls of the unfortunate workers contributes important data for a view of the problem from the Christian standpoint, and seldom have the responsililities of society in this matter been stated with greater power and wiser sympathy. 'Oh, if our brother's love cry out at us,  How shalt we meet Thee who hast loved us all,  Thee whom we never loved, not loving him! The unloving cannot chant with seraphim,  Bear harp of gold, or palm victorious, Or face the Vision Beatifical.'  Sunday afternoon is also an occasion for meetings in church for closer dealings with the industrial classes. The Pleasant Sunday Afternoon movement, in its higher aspects, has been commenced with much success. A gospel address from one of the clergy, the services of an excellent orchestra, reinforced by the fine organ of the church, with popular hymns and sacred solos, attract a class who seldom otherwise see the interior of a beautiful church, or hear sacred music in which they can join, or get into close personal touch with the clergy. The imprimatur which the rector of such a parish has freely given to this new development of the Sunday afternoon service is naturally felt in East London to be a great encouragement. Certainly in no part of London could crowded streets give a better mandate for these social gatherings as conducted at St. Mary's. The Sunday schools of the parish are in the front rank of the church's work. They are situate in five different quarters of Whitechapel, Jewish and Gentile alike, and are attended by more than one thousand children.  The large number of Jews and foreigners in Whitechapel is naturally felt as a claim upon the parish church. Special services for Jews are held on the principal Jewish festivals. The prayers and lessons are read in Hebrew and German, and sermons are preached in English and Yiddish (Judaeo-German). Between four and five hundred persons are present on these occasions. [1]	This is the lower left end of St.Mary's Whitchapel parish

A check of wills in England may resolve the question.

Dear Charlie,

Your data on John Hester’s showing a Jacob to be the father seems to fit in with some commentary by Clinton – as I remember – who wrote that the document could not be made very well and that the he thought it looked more like Jacob than the “John” he was looking for.

  He also neglected the port entry in his considerations, although I think he may have mentioned that too.

  At any rate the two together do dovetail rather well.

So we have two candidates born in London, and the one born on Jan. 17, 1730, would have been 24 in 1753, and sixteen in 1746 (the Battle of Culloden). If he had been swept up in the Jacobite Rebellion for either being brought up in a Stuart loyalist family or for being Roman Catholic he would not have being living in England any longer, which would explain sailing from Rotterdam to Pennsylvania instead of from an English port.
