Lives of Workers

From Iron Allentown Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Many workers were required to help the various forges and furnaces operate smoothly and these workers held various positions within charcoal production and iron production. A brief overview of some of the individuals who were involved with the Lehigh Furnace (Heidelberg and Washington Townships), East Penn Forge, and East Penn Furnace (East Penn Township) can be found on this page. Iron production was an important industry in the area, as is illustrated by census records. The information was gathered primarily from census data ranging from the 1850 Census, which was essentially the first census to include a space for census takers to record occupation, to 1880 Census. Over time, the demand for furnaces fluctuated. As some furnaces shut down, others were being put into blast. By the 1880 Census, the number of individuals listed as having an occupation related to the iron industry had increased dramatically. As census records did not list the exact name of the furnaces that people in the township worked at, it becomes difficult to discern if individuals in later censuses were employed by the furnaces that this research is concerned with.

As transportation was limited before the twentieth century, most people lived close to their places of employment. An 1860 map including East Penn Township illustrates this, as several of the individuals listed below owned property near the East Penn Forge and East Penn Furnace. The map gives the following as property owners in the area: G. Reichert (Reichard); S. Reichert (Reichard); and J. Bachman. Also owning property near the forge were names associated with the iron works in the area including Balliet and Nimson[1][1]. The 1860 Aschbach Map of Lehigh County showed John Balliet (1819-1886) living very close to the Balliet Furnance (Lehigh Furnace).

In the 1860 Census of Washington Township Samuel and Levi Paules, father and son, were listed as laborers in furnaces. Levi Paules, who was approximately eighteen at the time, lived with his parents and three brothers[107][69]. In the 1880 Census of Slatedale Township, Levi Paules was listed as working in a quarry and living with his wife Sarah and daughter Elizabeth[108][70]. Samuel Paules was one of the oldest residents of Lehigh County when he passed away at the home of his daughter Susan Lewis. His obituary confirmed that he did indeed work at the Lehigh Furnace[109].

The Paules and Balliet families had a connection beyond Samuel Paules working at Lehigh Furnace. At the time of the 1860 census, which was conducted in August, sixteen-year-old Susan Paules, daughter of Samuel Paules[110][71] living in the Slatington Post Office area of Washington Township, Lehigh County, PA, was residing outside her childhood home and was employed as a maid[111][[72]]. A decade later, Susan Paules, working as a housekeeper, was listed in the 1870 census, still under her maiden name; with her was eight-month-old John Hewitt[112][73]. Her sons Henry Balliet (1861-1938[113]), who was born a little over a year after the 1860 census, and Frank Hewitt[114], age four, were living with her parents[115][74]. Her daughter Catherine Elizabeth Hewitt, age two, was residing with Susan Paules’ brother Levi and his wife[116], who had adopted the girl by 1880[117]. Per the Certificates of Death of Frank[118][75] and Catherine[119][76], their father was Abraham Hewitt, born in New York. The parentage of John Hewitt is assumed by his last name and the reported parentage of his siblings who share his last name, as no records were found that named his father. The informants for Frank and Catherine Hewitt’s Certificates of Death were their respective children, who may have misunderstood “Abram” to be “Abraham.” There was no one by the name of Abraham Hewitt in the Lehigh County, PA censuses of 1860 or 1870, dates that bracket the birthdates of the three Hewitts born to Susan Paules. Abram Hewitt (1843-1872), however, was born and died in New York, but he was buried in Slatington[120][77] near where his parents were living at the time of the 1870 census[121][78]. Per the New York, New York Death Certificate Index, he was single[122]. Abram Hewitt was the son of Thomas Hewitt, below. By 1880, Susan had married John Lewis, age fifty-two, and was living with him, his daughter, and the sons she and John Lewis had together[123][79]. Listed as a boarder in the home, when asked for his relationship with John Lewis, the head of the household, was her son Henry Balliet, age eighteen, who was working as a laborer in a quarry. Her fourteen-year-old son, Frank Hewitt, was reported to be a servant to John Lewis. Henry Balliet went on to marry and have several children including George Balliet[124], who is briefly mentioned under Simon and Cornelius Rehrig in the section on Washington Township on this page.

Henry Balliet’s death certificate lists John Balliet as his father[125] [80]. While there were several people named John Balliet in the 1860 census, only John Balliet (1819-1886) and a six-year-old boy of the same name lived in Lehigh County. Like Susan Paules, John Balliet (1819-1886) was also living in the Slatington Post Office section of the township. It is, of course, possible that Henry Ballliet’s father was not John Balliet or was a different John Balliet who resided elsewhere or who was not in the census. The available information, however, suggests that John Ballliet (1819-1886) had a repeated history of fathering children with teenaged girls. As mentioned elsewhere in this wiki, he had children with Elizabeth Dankel both before and after Henry Balliet’s birth and with Amanda Rehrig both before and after Henry’s birth.

The aforementioned six-year-old child by the name of John Balliet in the 1860 census, was, per his death certificate, the son of Aaron Balliet and Mary Rohrbach[126][81]. John Balliet (1819-1886) had a brother Aaron Balliet (1813-1895), who was the right age and residing in the correct general area to have been the Aaron Balliet who was the father of young John Balliet. If this were so, he was never married to John Balliet’s mother[127][82]. He married his first wife Sarah Dengler in 1845[128][83] and his second following her death in 1863[129][84].

Hewitt[134][87], the former Mayor of New York City, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, United States Congressman, and part-owner of the ironworks company Cooper & Hewitt. For more information, see the Lehigh Furnace page. Among numerous other holdings, Abram S. Hewitt and Peter Cooper owned a blast furnace in Riegelsville, PA,[135] some twenty-four miles away from Washington Township. As an interesting side note, Abram S.
