Personal History of Johannes jacob HILL-
per "shill66 originally submitted this to Hill Family Tree on 21 Jan 2010"
Based on Lycombing County History (974.851, D2l), family legend indicates that the Hills were originally from Scotland. They fled to Switzerland during the rein of James II (1685-1688) because of religious persection (not likely nor supported by any evidence). After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685), they were expelled from Switzerland along with Swiss protestants and French Huguenots, and sought refuge in the Palatinate in Germany. The whole story is unfounded and overwhelming evidence demonstrates that this history is pure fantasy. It is interesting to note that the family was writing, and likely speaking, German at least as late as 1815. It is higly unlikely that English speaking peoples could become so Germanized in one generation that they were speaking, writing and practicing German religion one hundred years later.
History of Lycoming County (974.851, H2h) indicates that family migrated from Ireland to Switzerland after the Reformation and was settled in southeastern Pennsylvania as early as 1682. This is totally unfounded and nothing more than idle thoughts which surfaced during a "vanity" flush.
Both of these accounts, written nearly 200 years after the Hills arrived, appear to be based on misinformation and / or elaboration and distortion over the years. Evidence indicates that Johannes Jacob (PA) Hill arrived with / or followed extended family members including children Johannes Jacob (the younger), Johannes Daniel and other family members including at least 1 cousin and his family and 1 nephew. None of the documented early immigrations seem to fit known information about the Hill Family nor do they record entry to Pennsylvania of any family members. It appears the Hill Family entered Pennsylvania during 1727 when records were not maintained or have not suvived. Interestingly, German church records indicate family activity into 1726, but none after, while Berks County church records appear to have family members present by 1728.
How and when the Hills settled in Germany is unclear, but they seem to have been established by the mid to later 1500's. It is possible they moved from Switzerland to the area around Enkirch as suggested by a Lycoming County History, but how and when they were in Switzerland, if at all, is presently unknown --- further research required here.
Pennsylvania Historical Setting: Pennsylvania Lt. Govenor Keith required immigrants to take an oath of allegence commencing in 1727. However, these records are incomplete. Specifically, there are no records between Oct 1727 and August 1728, September 1728 and August 1729, and September 1729 and August 1730.
A Jacob Hill owned property in the Maxatawny Valley prior to 1734. This is believed to be Johannes Jacob Hill the immigrants and head of the extended Hill Family that migrated from the Frankenthal area of the Palatine.
Johannes Jacob Hill is one of three sponsoring founders ( Also Christopher Kuhn and Sebastian Kraemer), of Moselem Lutheran Church in 1739, Richmond Township, Berks County. He died before church was completed and dedicated in 1742.

-----------------------------------------------
Per information of Richard Hill (captrah@comcast.net), this Johann Jacob Hill family entered Pennsylvania sometime during 1727, not as early as 1720, although there are no existing oath of allegiance records between October 1727 and August 1730, and oath of allegiance was not part of the PA law before 1727.
-----------------------------------------------
Note: It is unclear how we make the jump of the Hill family from Heuchelheim, Germany to Windsor Twp, Berks County, PA, as I have not been able to substantiate this in any records up to this point, but am relying on on-line files from Richard Hill and Tim Conrad. Lynn B. 5/7/2009

History of the Zion Moselem Lutheran Church
Just south of Crystal Cave Road, between Route 222 and Virginville, is a red brick church typical of many that have stood along the rural byways of Berks County in times gone by.
According to tradition, the congregation at Moselem came into being around 1734, probably gathered together by the Rev. Johann Casper Stoever, who was an active organizer during that time and a familiar figure in Musseeley (Moselem) district - so named for a creek running through its central portion.
The oldest record books date from 1737. At that time the worshippers were more formally organized into a constituted body, which was noted somewhat cryptically in an inscription set into the wall of the 1761 edifice... “Die Gruendung der ersten Kirche was 1737.” (The establishment of the first church was 1737.)
Historian M.L. Montgomery recorded that “The purpose to build an Evangelical Lutheran church in the upper part of Richmond Township was agitated as early as 1739 by Johann Christopher Kuhn, Sebastian Kreamer, and Jacob Hill, but before it could be accomplished the latter two died, leaving the work to be finished by Kuhn.”
