PREFACE.
In the year 1868 a " Genealogy of the Brubach-
er family and connections" was written out for
my own satisfaction, as also for future reference.
In the year 1870, while visiting in Canada, Uncle
John Brubacher (Deacon) earnestly requested
that it should be printed, giving two dollars to-
wards the expense. He succeeded in gaining the
promise. To fiilfill that promise, by the help of
the Lord, the original has been rewritten and
enlarged. Care was taken to gather reliable in-
formation. Any doubtful information was not
accepted. Notwithstanding, errors will be found,
because of incorrect information. Whenever a
occurs the necessary information could not
be ascertained. The figures enclosed, thus ^(1)
Indicate the generation in America, thus: (1)
John Brubacher, (1) Theodore Eby, &c., indicates
that they were the first generation in America.
Hoping all honor will be given to the Lord, the
"Genealogy" is now respectfully submitted to the
public. Jacob N. Brubacher.

(i) John Brubacher emigrated from
Switzerland, Europe, to America about the
year 1 7 1 o. On the 27th of September, 1 7 1 7,

took out a warrant of 1000 acres of land, ly-
.ing on the Little Conestoga, in West

on this tract of land, John Brubacher built
the first grist and saw mill in Lancaster Co.
In the year 17 18 John Brubacher and
Christian Hershey divided the above tract
of 1000 acres into two equal shares of
500 acres each by a line east and west,
Brubacher getting the southern half and
Hershey the northern half Whether John
Brubacher was married when he came to
America cannot be ascertained.

bacher and his wife Anna, sold and con-
veyed 150 acres of the above 500 acres, on

This closes the sketch of (2) Daniel Bru-
bacher and descendants.'
(2) John Brubacher.
(second generation in AMERICA.)
The following is a description of (2) John
Brubacher and his descendants :
John Brubacher was born in the year of
our Lord 1719, in West Hempfield town-
ship, Lancaster Co., Pa. He died April 9th,
1804, aged 84 years and 7 months. After
he had grown to manhood he wished to go
to Germany to seek himself a wife. His
father sent him to Virginia for money — his
father had land in Virginia. But when he
returned from Virginia the neighbors had
dissuaded his father from letting him go to
Germany. The father died. Then (2)
John went to Germany where he was re-
ceived with joy. He married Maria New-
comer in the year 1750, eight days before
Whitsuntide. He with his wife Maria, re-
turned to America. His cousin Abraham
Brubacher accompanied them. Abraham
was so well pleased with the new country
— 12 —
that he wrote enticing letters to his brothers
and sisters who also emigrated to America.
More of their friends followed from time to
time. One of the main causes was that they
were subjected to many persecutions be-
cause of their faith and non-resistant doc-
trine. They had confidence in the proclama-
tions of William Penn, feeling assured if
once in Pennsylvania they could worship
the God of their fathers according to the
teachings of God's Word and the dictates
of their consciences ; which was unto them
a full and a complete recompense for all their
losses and privations in forsaking their
native land.
Abraham Brubacher settled at the Middle
Creek, in Clay township, Lancaster Co., Pa.
In course of time he wanted to build a grist
mill there. He met with difficulties on
account of the " Water Right" which so of-
fended him that he moved away. He
moved into the yicinity called Indiantown,
not far from where Ephrata now is. Here
he settled. Hence his descendants are
called the "Indiantown Brubachers." He
begat children. The name of one was
Abraham. He was a Preacher. The name
of another one was Christian.
His descendants of the " Indiantown
Brubachers are all scattered far.
— 13 —
After (2) John and lldaria Brubach r re-
turned to America, they settled at the
Hammer Creek in Warwick township, Lan-
caster Co. But they were not permitted to
live long together. After the short space
of thirty weeks his wife died, on the 15th of
December, 1750. Her remains were buried
in the garden at the house. In the course
of time tbe house was torn down and the
^rden changed into a meadow. Hence
her grave was in the meadow. In the year
1880, her remains (not much could be found
any more) were removed to the " Brubacher
family grave yard " on the same farm and
the ^rave marked with a marble grave stone
beanng her name and date of death.
(2) John Brubacher married as his second
wife Maria Tauner, eldest daughter of Mi-
chael Tauner, (since changed to Doner)
April 30th, 1 75 1. (Maria Tauner was born
February nth, 1729, and died June 21st,
1802, aged 73 years, 4 months and 10 days.)

begat sons and daughters, viz: (3) John
Brubacher was bom February 19th, 1752
"Old Style". (He died March 30th, 1783,
aged 31 years, i month and 11 days.) He
married Anna Eby. Their children are, (4)
— 14 —

about 1 81 8.
(3) Anna Brubacher was bom August

tember 17th, 1830, aged 77 years and 20
days.) She married John Mayer. They
had 2 children.
(3) Maria Brubacher was born July 6th,
1756. She died July 12th, 1827, aged 71
years and 6 days. She married John Baer,
of Elizabeth township, Lancaster Co., Pa.
He died in 1802, aged 51 years, 7 months
and 26 days.
(3) John and Maria (Brubacher) Baer be-
gat children. (4) John, (4) Anna, (4) Ben-
jamin, (4) David, (4) Maria, (4) Ma^dalena,
(4) Susan, (4) Samuel, (4) Gabriel. (4)

dren, married a Miss Weaver, daughter of
George and Weaver. Their children
are, (6) Gabriel, (6) George W., (5) Anna,
(5) Maria, (5) John, (6; Magdalena, (5)

(3) Jacob Brubacher was born June nth,
1758. He died of yellow fever, August 31st,
I793> aged 35 years, 2 months and 20 days.
He married, in the year 1781, Susan Erb,
daughter of Christian Erb. She was born
— 16 —
March 17th, 1762, and died January 22d,

Her brothers and sisters are, Joseph Erb,
Daniel Erb, John Erb, Abraham Erb, Jacob
Erb, Benjamin Erb, Elizabeth Erb, Mag-
dalena Erb, Anna Erb, Barbara Erb, Chris-
tian Erb.
As already remarked '(3) Jacob Brubach-
er died in 1793. His widow remained in
widowhood nearly 61 years. In the year
1809 she traveled to Canada West to visit
her daughter Maria, married to Benjamin
Eby, her parents, three of her brothers and
four sisters, who were all living in Canada
West — then a wilderness.
The names of her brothers and sisters liv-
ing in Canada are, Jacob, Abraham, John,
Elisabeth, Barbara, Anna and Magdalena.
In the year 181 6 she went the second
time to Canada, accompanied by her young-
est son John, who was single. She re-
mained in Canada two years, keeping house
for her son, John, until he married. She
then returned home to spend the evening of
her life continuing the necessary prepara-
tion to exchange mis life with eternity.
On one of her journeys over the Alleghe-
nies, she killed a large rattlesnake with her
cane, proving that she was a very coura-
geous woman.

from Philadelphia through the wilderness
to the Hammer Creek, about 4 miles north

and founded a **mill seat,*^ known for
many years as **Stauffer's mill." On their
