The immigrant Martin Schaub departed Rotterdam on the ship "Mortonhouse" and arrived in Philadelphia on 23 August 1728. After spending about 10 years in Lancaster and York Counties, PA, he settled in Frederick Co, MD in an area know as "Old Monacacy." His farm was located along present day Rt. 15, just NW of Frederick, MD. Martin was referred to as an "Immersionist" and "Quaker" in the records, and his will was witnessed by three men described as "Protestant dissenters," who refused to swear. This, and the community church nearby, suggests that he was affiliated with the Church of the Brethren.

Martin had two children by an unknown first wife who he likely married in Europe. They were Christian Schaup (ca 1722-1751) and Anna (1724-) who married Peter Schaver.

Three other children, Catherine, Martin, and George were born to his second wife Susanna. Martin died in 1750, just two years after receiving the patent on his estate. His will mentions Anna, and son "Christian Schaub, who lives in Conestoga," which is now Lancaster Co, PA.

Pioneers of Old Monocacy: The Early Settlement of Frederick County, Maryland 1721-1743 by Grace L. Tracey and John P. Dern

The earliest ship in the Hinke lists to arrive at Philadelphia with Germans aboard who are known to have settled later in the Frederick County area was the Mortonhouse. She reached Philadelphia on August 23, 1728, having sailed from Rotterdam by way of Deal in England on the lengthy 69-day voyage. She carried two hundred German immigrants, some of whom reached the Monocacy area during
the second decade of its settlement. These included, among others, Jacob Brunner, Jacob Storm and Martin Schaub [later Shoup].

It is Impossible to determine from the land records when Martin Shoup first arrived in Frederick County. He was there, however, before the December 10, 1741 survey for Jacob Staley's "Otersum," since the beginning point for that survey was located "100 yards from Martin Shoup's branch." Earlier still, Martin Schaub's daughter was married at Manaquesen on May 21, 1740 to Peter Schfiffer. The Shoup land began with a parcel caUed "Mankine" which was surveyed for Daniel Dulany on November 28, 1741. But it was not assigned and patented to Martin Shoup until March 23, 1748. It adjoined "Otersum" to the north and was located on a ridge near the main road." Martin Shoup, son of the immigrant, had "Mankine" enlarged to 231 acres through a resurvey in 1754. A part of present-day Shookstown is built just to the west of "Mankine," and the Shook Family cemetery there contains the grave of Elizabeth Shoup (1786-1853). In the 1743 naturalization proceedings Martain Shope was called a Quaker, a fact not observed elsewhere. He died in 1750, leaving a will dated April 13, 1750 which referred to son Christian leaving a will dated April 13, 1750 which referred to son Christian Shaub, then living in Conestoga, and daughter Anna, children of his first wife. Children of his surviving second wife Susanna were not named,78 but sons Martin Shoab and George Shoab were on Stephen Ramsburg's Militia Company roster in 1757 during the French and Indian War. Hans Georg Schaub married about 1756 Anna Maria Staley but died before 1761 when she married Adam Hildebrand. The other son, Martin Shoup, Jr., signed his own will on September 10, 1783. In that will he named his wife Soffia [daughter of Conrad Kemp], a nephew Peter Kemp [son of Frederick Kemp] and his own children George, Christian, Peter, Samuel, Catharine Staley, Soffia and Mary Shoup.
When Martin Schaub Shoup was born in 1730 in Frederick, Maryland, their father, Sebastian, was 26 and their mother, Elizabeth, was 17. They had three brothers and three sisters. They died on October 5, 1783, in Frederick, Maryland, at the age of 53.

SCHAUB, ANGLICIZED SHOUP
By Linda M. Brien

Martin Schaub, a Swiss German, came to America in 1728, August 24th, on the ship, Mertonhaus.1He resided in Pennsylvania for a while, then removed to Frederick County, Maryland, where he died in 1740.
He had a son Martin of whom there is record; also a daughter Catharine, who married Peter Kemp, according to the land records of Frederick County, Maryland, at Annapolis.2
Martin Jr. married Sophie Bott in Maryland, and his will, dated October 5, 1783, names his wife Sophie Bott in Maryland, and his will, dated October 5, 1783, names his wife Sophie Bott and nine children.The last two named in the will are not mentioned in the old Bible record written in German which is now in the possession of a descendant of the oldest son, George, who entered land in Greene County, Ohio, in 1804.3The youngest child, Samuel born 1771 according to the will, is to be taught in the English school and "[I] therefore direct that my executor send him to school so long at least until he arrive to the age of sixteen years."
The following is the record of the children of Martin Schaub, Jr., and wife Sophie Bott, translated from the German in the old Bible;
"In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ 1755, Feb. 12, I, Martin Schaub, and my wife, Sofie Bott, were blessed with a son and we gave him the name of George. His birth witnesses were when the Moon was in the Fish (Pisces) ad the Woman (Virgo) was in the Waterman (Aquarius)
"Again the Lord blessed us, in 1757, Feb. 15, with a little daughter and we gave her the name of Catharine.Her birth witnesses were when the Moon (Luna) was in the Bull (Taurus), the Woman (Virgo) in the Scale (Libra), and Venus in the Crawfish (Scorpio).
"In 1758, the 8th day of July, the Lord again blessed us with a little son and we gave him the name of Peter.His birth witnesses were the Lion (Leo) in the Moon (Luna) and Sun.
"In 1760, the 9th of March, we were blessed with a daughter and we named her Elizabeth. She died.
"In 1762, 2nd winter month, a son was born to us and we called him Christian. The Sun ran in the sign of the Scorpion.
"In 1765, the 12th of April, again a daughter was born and we gave her the name of Sophie. Her birth witnesses were the Moon in the Maiden, the Sun in the Lion, and Jupiter in the Crawfish.
"In 1767, the 13th day of April, a son was born and we named him Henry. When he was born the Moon was in the Twins (Gemini), the Sun in the Scale, Venus in the Crawfish, Jupiter in the Maiden, and Mars in the Lion.
