Henry [Heinrich] is from an unverified Arnold tree in Ancestrty.com in 2013 which states he arrived in Pennsylvania in 1749. The Parkin/Shreffler/Trostle Tree in Ancestry.com in 2013 states Henry died 29 Sept 1784 and that he ws a "stocking weaver" and made his will 6 Sept 1784 in Reading, PA in German, and was a Private in the Berks Co. Militia during the War for Independence.
A file in Ancestry.com in 2013 offers:
Johanna Heinrich Schreffler was born Abt. 1714 in Germany, and died June 29, 1784 in Reading, Pennsylvania, Berks County. He married (1) Anna Marie Weber Abt. 1745, daughter of Godfriedt Weber. She was born Abt. 1716 in Germany, and died 1777 in Reading, Pennsylvania Berks County. He married (2) Anna Magdalena Schneider Haas December 08, 1778 in Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading, PA, daughter of Erici Schneider. She was born November 29, 1733 in Katholisch, Berrend, Rheinland, Prussia, and died May 09, 1813 in Reading, Pennsylvania Berks County.
Johannas Heinrich Schreffler is the original ancestor that came to America from Germany in about 1749. His age at this time is not known, so his year of birth cannot be confirmed. He and Anna Marie had 6 sons as they listed in his will. Five of the six served in the Revolutionary War. Charles (Carolus) was the youngest son, and not old enough to serve. Note that the "c" in the name "Schreffler" is eventually dropped with later generations.
The following information is from Harvey Lubold (via Ed) and is not to be used for anything other than personal use, since a book is currently in the process of being published.
Johann Heinrich Schreffler arrived in America on Tuesday, 26 Sept., 1749 on the ship "Ranier", Henry Browning, Master from Rotterdam, but last from .... in England. Whole freights 277. [From] Hanau, Wirtemberg, Darmstat, Isenburg.
Most historians separate the trip to America into three parts. The first lasting four to six weeks, was the portion down the Rhine River to the Port of Rotterdam. There were a considerable number of places along this route where the ship had to stop, and each stop included taxes passed along to the passenger.
Next the ships sailed to England where they stopped, usually at Cowes, for supplies. There they stayed for one or two weeks, waiting either to pass through customs or waiting for favorable winds. The passengers had to pay for their food and lodging during this period. Then followed a journey of seven to fourteen more weeks, depending on wind conditions during which time they lived on overcrowded, under-provisioned, and often not too seaworthy ships. Many of the passengers had never been to sea before, and seasickness was not uncommon. Medical attention was virtually nonexistent, and many died of their illnesses and were buried at sea. After arrival, each ship was inspected by the Port Doctor, and if no infectious diseases were found, the passengers were allowed to disembark. The immigrants then went before the local court to renounce all ties to Germany and take the oath of allegiance to the English King and the colony of Pennsylvania. Henry (Johann) took the Oath of Allegience to the British Crown, required of all foreigners arriving in Pennsylvania, before Benjamin Shoemaker, Joshua Maddox, Esq. and Wm. Hartley at the Court House at Philadelphia, PA on that same day.
Those passengers who had finished their journey on "credit" owing money to the ships captain, were sold to willing buyers waiting at the docks. They then worked for their "owners" until they had paid their debts.
The first item about Henry (Johann) appeared in the German Newspaper "Sower" where in it mentions Henry Schreffler has oil mill near Germantown for sale. This could have been a liquidation sale of someone's estate.
Henry was on the tax rolls in Reading, PA starting in 1771.
Henry on April 19, 1772, partook of the sacrament, a proviso of the law by which a resident of the colonies renounced allegience to his native land and became a subject of the King of England. He did this before John Lawrence and Thomas Willing, two judges of the Supreme Court in Philadephia, PA.
He also took the Oath of Allegiance to the new government on July 8, 1777, before Jacob Shoemaker of Philadelphia, PA.
While Henry did not serve in the Revolutionary War, he is listed as a public servant and paid taxes and furnished supplies during the war. His sons served in various battallions of the Pennsylvania Militia with the one son, Conrad, giving the supreme sacrifice.
At the time of his death, 1784, Henry was living in Reading PA on a lot described as lot 144 (which he bought from Conrad Draft on June 4, 1774) on Richard Street. The lot and dwelling were to be sold at public auction following his death with one-third of the estate going to his widow, Magdalena, and the other two-thirds divided in six equal parts among his five living sons and his grandson, Conrad, son of his deceased son, Conrad. Henry was a stocking weaver by trade, and he bequeathed his loom to his son, George. The will was written April 25, 1783.

Anna Maria Weber (Weaver) was the first wife of the immigrant Johann Heinrich Schreffler and accompanied him on their journey to America in 1749. Anna's father is Godtfriedt Weber. She apparently died sometime between Sept. 8, 1776, when she and Heinrich appeared as sponsors for Henry, Jr.'s son, John Henry, at Trinity Church in Reading, PA and Dec. 8, 1778, when Heinrich married Anna Magdalena Haas, widow of Michael Haas, at Trinity Church. Anna Maria and Henry are most likely buried at Trinity Church although there is no record and no tombstones any longer exist. Trinity Church was located at the Northwest corner of Prince and Thomas Streets, now known as Sixth and Washington Streets. The first church was built of logs and the new church built in 1752. Walter Shreffler from Celina, Ohio, has been doing some research in PA and he dug up the following quote listed in records of the St. Michael's Zion Evangelical Church, "Henrich Schreffler - Anna Marie Seine Frau Getauft von Philipp Henrich Rapp".
Anna Magdalena Schneider was the second wife of Henry, and was first married to Michael Haas. According to her will, which was probated on June 3, 1813, in Berks Co., Pa., had two daughters by her first husband, namely Magdalena, married to Lawrence Fix and a second daughter, un-named, married to Balser Minich. Jacob Fix, a grandson, was the executor of her will and she also named another grandchild, namely Anna, daughter of Balser Minich and wife, who was listed in the will as being lame. According to Daniel Schumacher's Baptismal Register, Johann Michael Haas and wife, Anna Magdalena were the sponsors at the baptism of Johann Michael Berner, son of Jacob Berner and wife, Hanna at a Lutheran Church five miles north of Fogelsville in Weisenberg Township, Lehigh County on July 4, 1773. Mrs. Michael Haas married Henry Schreffler on Dec. 8, 1778. The ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Daniel Lehman at Trinity Lutheran Church in Reading, Pa. Magdalena's death was recorded in the records of the Trinity Lutheran of Reading, Pa., on Page 1, Vol. II. The funeral services were officiated by Rev. H.A. Muhlenberg. +++++++++++++Berks Co., PA, Church
