General Notes: Husband - Ulric Schallenberger

---

The Shallenberger family flourished in Canton Uri, Switzerland, where its descent is traceable to the fourteenth century. They took their name from the mountain on which they lived, Shallenberger or Echo Mountain.

"Schallenberg," the name given to a mountain in Canton Uri, Switzerland, from very early times, because of its remarkable echo, is at the same time the origin of the family name Schallenbergers, a hardy race of people dwelling on this mountain, which was covered with pasture to the top, and was a favorite gathering place for the people. A few traces of the family appear in history. Three of the name were killed at Lempach in 1385. One Ulric Schallenberger led a company of the men of Uri against Charles the Bold at Grandsen, in 1476. In the same year he served as aid to Hans of Holwyl, at the battle of Murton, and was present, with all of the family name who could bear arms, at the battle of Nancy, Jan. 5, 1477, where Charles was killed.

He emigrated from Switzerland in 1720, and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His only son was John. [HBC 1888, 809]

Ulrich Shallenberger emigrated to America in 1770, and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [GPHWP, 127] The 1720 date given about seems more likely to be correct if other statements made about the family are correct.
