Hi All,
Here is an interesting connection: Barbara ZUG b 1743 E. Whiteland Twp., Chester Co., PA,
was the d/o Christian ZUG b. 1710 Hesse, Germany and Anna KANNABEL. She married Michael
BUCHELE/BEEGHLEY who founded the Brethren GARBER line that went to Montgomery Co., OH.
(Don't have this full line in the database yet.) There is one other Brethren GARBER
line that seems to originate in Whiteland Twp.
Also, I have some indication that Chester County, PA, contains ancestors of Johannes
GERBER, d. 1777 Berks Co., PA.. Barbara ZUG b 1781 Exton, Chester Co., PA. was a grand
daughter of Moritz ZUG b. 1715 Hesse, Germany (brother of the above Christian).
She was also w/o Hannes GERBER b. 17 Jan 1772 Cumru Twp., Berks Co., PA, the son of
Johannes d. 1777 and his second wife Susanna. This seems to be the best chance yet to
find the maiden names of the wives of Johannes GERBER d 1777 -- ZUG or ZOOK is currently
the favorite. This also seems to be the source of a lost line of GARBERs that went to
Juniata Co., PA -- not sure whether this line was Amish or Brethren.
I need help with the following. I'm not sure where the LAPP Cemetery in the Chester
Valley is located. This also the place that may contain both Brethren and Amish LAPPs. No
one seems to realize that George LAPP b 1740 m. Veronica Franey GERBER b 1750 (the third
child of Johannes d. 1777 and Christina). Christian ZUG and possibly his brother Moritz
ZUG are buried there. Could this cemetery be located at E. Whiteland Twp. or at Malvern?
I can find Malvern on my road atlas -- it is just off Rt.30 at the edge of where
Philadelphia begins. Sure would like to know who is buried in these cemeteries.
