Emanuel Swope — that they had the finest teams of horses that
traveled the road between those two cities. He was a man
who appreciated the advantages of an education, and gave
his sons greater advantages in that respect than were enjoyed
by other young men of their neighborhood. He and his wife

Normal School. He received a teacher's professional certifi-
cate and began teaching in 1854. His career as a teacher
was interrupted by the breaking out of the w^ar. He volun-
teered as a member of the ' ' Union Guards ' ' of Lancaster
county. His company was " Co. B, First Regiment, Infantry,
Pennsylvania Reserves." He was in all the battles in which
his brigade was engaged, viz. : Drainsville, Mechanicsville,
Gaines Mill, New Market Cross-Roads, Malvern Hill, Second
Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettys-
burg, Bristoe Station, Mine Run, Wilderness, Spottsylvania
Court House, North Anna, and Bethesda Church. In all of
these engagements he won for himself an enviable name for
daring and bravery. He, being the best shot in his regiment,
was frequently called upon to do sharpshooting service.
Many interesting and thrilling incidents are related regarding



184 The Sicopc Family.

his service. We will give one, as related by Prof. J. P. Wick-
sham before the Teachers' Institute of Lancaster county. The
incident occurred, June 30, 1862, at the battle of New Market
Cross- Roads. We quote the Professor as follows: "A rebel bat-
ter}' was being handled in a masterly manner; a general rode
up to a captain of a Lancaster county company and said: 'Cap-
tain, have you a good shot in your company who is willing to go
out between these two armies to pick off yonder officer ?" 'Why,
general, it will be certain death to venture out there.' ' I know
it, ' was the answer, ' but you see how that fire is decimating our
ranks; is no one willing to sacrifice himself?' The captain
turns to his company, with the remark: 'I'll see.' A young
man rises in the ranks and volunteers, ' I'll go.' He creeps
forward, takes deliberate aim and fires, but misses his mark;
again, steady aim; the officer is seen to throw up his arms;
he falls into the arms of his gunners The young man re-
turns to his company unharmed; and, said the professor, in a
burst of enthusiasm: ' I would .search the ami}' through, but
I would take that young man by the hand and say, it was
well done; that man was George K. Swope.' " At the battle
of Bethesda Church he received a gunshot wound in the left
lung, which necessitated his return home. The w^ound was a
long time in healing and he yet carries the bullet in his body.
After his return from the war he engaged in teaching for
some years. He subsequently moved to Philadelphia, where
he engaged in the commission business, continuing in the
same for several years. In 1889 he was appointed Inspector
of Customs in the district of Philadelphia and located at
Marcus Hook; this position he held until 1893. He and his
family are devoted members of the Methodist Church, he
taking a prominent part in all the operations of his church.
He married, Oct. 6, 1866, his cousin Lizzie, daughter of Dan-
iel Swope. His portrait appears on page 161. They had
children as follows: —

i. Ella Nora Swopk, b. July 12, 1867.

ii. George Daniel Swope, b. Sept 2, 1868. He married,
June 22, 1893, Mary T. Richardson. They have one
child, Nora, b. Aug., 1894.

CHAPTER X.

SABINA SWOPE AND JOHN HOKE, TOGETHER

WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR

DESCENDANTS.

1. Sabina Swope'* (John^ Yost^) was born in the old
homestead, in Upper Eeacock township, Lancaster county,
Pa., Dec. 26, 1748. She married John Hoke, of York
count}', Pa., and lived there until after his death, when .she,
together with her children, moved to Eincoln county, N.
C, about 1797 or 1798; there her children established them-
selves and became prominent members of the community.
Sabina ( Swope; Hoke was a very superior woman, having great
strength of character, energy and perseverance. She, being
left a widow, felt a great responsibility in rearing her chil-
dren and was extremely particular in her care for them. It
is said that " when any of her boys were out late at night she
would take a servant, go out and not return until she had
found the missing one, whom she would bring home with
her. On one occasion she found one of her .sons at a card
table with a crowd of jolly boys. She walked up to the table,
pulled the cards off into her lap, led her son home and thus
broke up the game."

On the death of her father, in 1780, .she received from his
estate, by will, one hundred and twenty-five pounds. She
died Aug. 9, 1826, and is buried in the Lutheran graveyard,
in Lincolnton, N. C, she being a member of that church.

The Swope Family. 1S7

IV. Frederick Hoke* (Sabina (Swope) Hoke'', John
Swope', Yost Swope' ) was born in York county, Pa. Al)Out
the year 1798, he, together with his family, moved from York
to lyincohi county, N. C. He .settled on Liles Creek in the
upper part of Lincoln county, and there reared a large family.
As his sons grew to manhood and married he gave to each
one a plantation. He was a man much loved and respected
in the surrounding country, and noted for his kindness and
generosity to the poor. The section of country in which he
lived was thickly peopled, and as there were few physicians
there, and he had .some knowledge of medicine, he often ren-
dered medical assistance to those around him, even at times
bleeding them and extracting teeth. He raised large crops
of grain on his plantation, and it is a remarkable fact that he
fixed the price of corn at fifty cents per bushel, and no matter
what the market value of corn was, he refu.sed to receive
more or le.ss per bushel for his. Sometimes when there was
a failure of crops in other .sections, a number of wagons would
come for corn offering him one dollar per bushel, which he
would refuse to accept. Enquiring of them how many they
had in the family and how much stock they fed, he would
then say: "Well, you maj- have so many bushels at fifty
cents, and you can't have any more." Frederick Hoke was
considerably interested in politics. There being an election
precinct on his place, runners would often come up in behalf
of one or the other of the candidates. On one occasion one
of these men asked an illiterate man how he was going to
vote. He said, "I don't know; I always vote like Hoke's
boys " And the vote was always nearly unanimous for
" Hoke's boys." Frederick Hoke was inclined to be musi-
cal. He brought with him from Pennsylvania a pipe-organ.
His fondness and talent for music have been inherited by
many of his descendants. He married four times. His fir.st
wife was a Miss Hafer, his second a Miss IvORANce, his
third a Miss Stirewalt, his fourth a Miss Wilson. No
children are recorded of his third and fourth wives. There
are records of one daughter by his second wife. Her name
was Rhoda; she married an Allen, but nothing more is known
of her. By his first wife he had issue as follows: —
