Have the following Pennsylvania -Germany conection
Thanks to the great work done by Annette K. Burgert in her book Grossgartach, Wuerttemberg, To Pennsylvania: Some Early Colonial German Immigrants, the Sprecher connection for four of the Sprecher’s of Lancaster Co., Dauphin Co. and Lebanon Co., Pennsylvania has been made.
Several Sprecher lines talked about three Sprecher Brothers who came over to Germany and settled in SE PA.It turns out that four brothers and two sisters came over between 1748 and 1753.One of the brothers, Johann Christoph (ship Patience 1748), died in Lancaster PA four years after coming over.The remaining three brothers Jacob, Phillip and George were the three brothers of family histories.
Ship Janet 7 Oct 1751
Jacob went to Dauphin Co.
George went to Lebanon Co.
Ship Brothers 26 Oct 1753
Phillip went to Lancaster Co.
The two sisters went to Dauphin Co./Lebanon Co.
Elizabeth married Martin Wesner in 1755
Maria Elizabeth married John Martin Bindinagel in 1761
As always, there are questions.I’m working on the following, if you have come across them in your research and have anything please let me know.
I’m still working on tying in the proper Sprechers lines to George (son of Jacob) born in 1760 and George (son of George) born in 1769.The two families attended the same churches and/or had the same pastors that served the same churches.Quitapqhila Hill Church in Lebanon twp/North Annville twp (the church is right on the line and is referenced both ways), Salem Church in Lebanon and Bindtnagel Church north of Palmyra.
Still working on several of John Sprecher (1778) sons.
John (1814)
Frederic (1817)
Joseph (1818)
Samuel (1823)
Thanks to all of the fellow Sprecher reasearchers that have helped me though the years (and a special thank to to Susan Taylor for the help at the start)
Happy hunting
