The Hunsickers left [[Switzerland|Switzerland]] because of religious [[Persecution|persecution]] about the middle of the 17th century. One of the well-known European representatives of the family was [[Hunzinger, Abraham (1792-1859)|Abraham Hunzinger]] (1792-1859), author of Das Religions-, Kirchen- und Schulwesen der Mennoniten (Speyer, 1830). Valentine Hunsicker (1700-1771) emigrated from Europe to eastern [[Pennsylvania (USA)|Pennsylvania]] in 1717 and served as deacon in the [[Skippack Mennonite Church (Skippack Township, Pennsylvania, USA)|Skippack congregation (MC)]] of the [[Franconia Mennonite Conference (Mennonite Church USA)|Franconia Conference]] about 1739. Three of the more prominent American Hunsickers were [[Bishop|Bishop]] Henry Hunsicker (1752-1836) and his sons, Bishop John Hunsicker (1773-1847), senior bishop of the Franconia Conference in 1847 (he seceded with [[Oberholtzer, John H. (1809-1895)|John H. Oberholtzer]]), and his younger brother, Preacher Abraham Hunsicker (1793-1872), who also seceded in 1847, and who with the help of his son, Henry A. Hunsicker, established [[Freeland Seminary (Collegeville, Pennsylvania, USA)|Freeland Seminary]] in 1848. Henry A. Hunsicker served as principal of Freeland Seminary from 1848 until 1865. (The name of the school was changed to Ursinus College in 1869; the institution had not long remained [[Mennonite (The Name)|Mennonite]], but had become a college of the Reformed Church.) Oberholtzer's conference ordained Preacher Abraham Hunsicker a bishop in 1847 and his son Henry A. Hunsicker a preacher in 1850, but in 1851 expelled them both. They then carried on a sort of non-sectarian work. The Unzicker families of the Midwest, especially in [[Illinois (USA)|Illinois]], are 19th-century immigrants from Europe, and included a number of [[Amish Mennonites|Amish Mennonite]] ministers. The best-known layman named Hunsicker was Leidy D. Hunsicker (1878-1954) of the Blooming Glen, Pennsylvania, Mennonite Church (MC), a noted [[Chorister (Vorsanger)|chorister]] for 40 years.
