Origins and Evolution of the Shook surnames: Some conclusions can be tentatively drawn from the chart Variations on the Surname "Schuch" assisted by historical information about cultural and religious events in Europe. First, the earliest versions are "Schuch/ck" and "Schoch." Both have European origins in medieval Germany. The Swiss variation is "Schoch," and the Netherlands variations are "Schook" or "Schoock." Numerous explanations of the origin of "Schuch" have been offered. For example, Hammonds Whats in a Name? offers the root "Scouh" which is Old German for shoemaker. The Encyclopedia of Family Names by Robb and Chesler gives the root "Cak" meaning expectation. The Riestrap Armorial General includes a coat-of-arms for "Shook" and explains that the name is Teutonic for "man."
The most common variation in the United States today is by far "Shook." According to the Social Security Administration, 23,022 social security numbers have been issued from 1936 to 1984 to people of the surname "Shook." The Encyclopedia of Family Names uses such SSA data to rank the top 5000 most common surnames in the U.S. "Shook" ranks 1970 out of 5000. No other variation ranks in the top 5000.
Genealogists studying first and second generation German families in America have noted that o a person will typically marry a member of the same religious sect, and “ families which lived near each other in Europe tended to have intermarried while in Europe, tended to emigrated together, and continued to live near each other and intermarry in the colonies.
In 1683 the first permanent German colony was established at Germantown, north of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mennonites, English Quakers, Amish, Lutherans, and later, German Brethren, started from the Philadelphia area and spread out across nearby counties. Berks, Northumberland, and Lancaster counties were heavily German by the 1750's. The Mennonites, Amish, and German Baptists would all be called "Brethren," as the original movement of Anabaptists referred to themselves. They also all were called Pennsylvania Dutch; "Dutch" is a corruption of Deutsche which refers to Deutschland, or Germany. The Holland Dutch settled primarily in New York, and there Mennonites, Lutherans, and Calvinists established churches that were called Baptist, Lutheran, and Reformed churches, respectively. After the start of the Palatinate emigration in 1709 to New York, the label "Palatinate" was often indiscriminately applied to any German, Dutch, or Swiss emigrant. Captains lists of passengers arriving in Philadelphia, for example, often describe a cargo of "Palatinates" but no such origin can thereby be assumed. Swiss, French, German, and Dutch emigrants all first went to Rotterdam, to be picked up in English ships for the voyage. Sometimes a ship list will more carefully specify the passengers homelands; "from Wirtemberg" is a common example.
Three Schuch families were part of the Palatinate emigration of 1709 to Livingston Manor, New York. Interestingly, two family heads later died there; most of the Palatinates had instead rebelled against English demands and headed either up the Hudson and Mohawk river valleys, or south into Pennsylvania. Another Schuch family is recorded living in the New York City area after 1737. All three families have ambiguous religious affiliations. For example, Johannes Schuch and his family were Palatinate Catholics from the Hachenburg area who came to Livingston Manor in 1709. His eldest son, Martinus, had four children baptized at Dutch Reformed churches and two baptized at Lutheran churches. Later, he, his wife, and one of his sisters joined a Lutheran church. Martinus son Wilhelm also had his children baptized at Reformed and Lutheran churches. [Shook1]
They may have immigrated via Pennsylvania but moved to Ohio prior to 1830: a "Jefferson Shuck" is listed in the Jefferson Township, Montgomery County, Ohio 1830 census [p. 235] Jefferson and Mary settled in York Township, Darke County, Ohio where they are listed in the 1840 and 1850 censuses [Grant].
