| 3553 | I2796 | Jan Binkley believes his first name was George, thus LtCol George Michael Brobst. With his brother, Johannes, he operated "Union Forge" in Albany Twp. He owned considerable land in Albany Twp, Berks Co, and 247 acres of woodland in Lynn Twp, Lehigh Co. He owned a valuable flour mill (The Brobst Grist Mill) near the village of Albany where flour was made to be used by the neighbors who built ovens and baked bread to relieve the suffering of Washington's army in the Rev. War. In his will, he gave the Forges and Furnace jointly to his son Michael and to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband James Mitchell. In the Miller Family history "The Spirit of Evangelical Women", p 128, Michael was described as a "rich iron-master of Albany, Berks County." He disowned his daughter Magdalena because she became an Evangelical, and she suffered bitter persecution from him. He was known for his bad temper (per Jan Binkley). He was a LT COL, 3rd Battalion, Northhampton County Militia, Rev. War. He is listed in the DAR Patriot Index files, and is on the DAR Roll of Honor. One report that he had served with General Stanwix in the Indian wars on the frontier in 1758-1759 was in error, since Michael wasn't born until 1751. The Michael who served with General Stanwix was Michael Bobst (1739). Both Andrew and Daniel Straub of Lynn Twp, Lehigh County are listed on the General Muster Roll for June 18, 1777 under Colonel Michael Brobst, as is his uncle, Mathias George Probst 1736. His will was written in Albany Twp, Berks Co, PA, on Oct 3 1814. He mentioned his sons Johannes (Jacob) and (George) Michael, his daughter Elizabeth and his son-in-law James Mitchell, his daughters Magdalena Miller, Maria Miller, Catherina Merckel, and Susanna Landes; and his friend Jacob Levan (the father-in-law of his Uncle Valentine); no mention of his wife who preceded him in death. He is buried near the boundary of Berks and Lehigh Counties, but the dates on the stones are obliterated with age. Courtesy of Peggy Light, Albany County Historical Society: From "A History of the Evangelical Church", by Raymond W. Albright, 1942: "A very unudual situation grew out of the regular preaching of (Rev. Jacob) Albright at the home of Michael Brobst near Miller's home in Albany Township, Berks County, equalled perhaps only in the Eyer family near New Berlin where the Rev. John Dreisbach, the Rev. Henry Niebel, and the Rev. David Shellenberger married daughters of the Eyers. Magdalena and Maria (Catharina) Brost married George and Solomon Miller and were convereted with their husbands under Albright's preaching. Mr. Brobst, formerly a lieutenant in the French and Indian War and a major and lieutenant-colonel of militia in the Revolution, was a wealthy owner of the Union Iron Works and had associated with him his two sons John and Michael Jr. These sons with their wives were also won to the (Evangelical) church at the Easter meeting at the home of Solomon Miller in 1803. As a result of these accessions, a class was formed and George Miller became their leader. Both George and Solomon Miller later became ministers. Colonel Brobst was very much opposed to having a son-in-law in the ministry and, it is reported, tried to kill George Miller. Jacob Albright intervened and succeeded in calming Brobst. Later Brobst was converted and his home became a regular preaching place." |

| 3556 | I2797 | "Karen Mariea" Owned land next door to John Jacob Albrecht in 1740, in Amith Township, Berks County, PA. They were also neighbors of Daniel Boone! The hame Everett has been spelled in various records as Everith, Everhard, Eberth, Everitt. Thomas is referred to as "Justice Thomas Everett" in some records. This history of this family is recorded in "Genealogies of Pennsylvania Families", 1982. |
| 3557 | I2798 | Note: From Jan Binkley: "About Bathsheba who m. Thomas Everett Sr. -- I've seen the family name as both Sanda and Sands, plus other options (see below). The Brobst web site inputter chose Sanda -- I expect it's one of those handwriting things -- I often can't tell the difference between a final a and a final s in my own scribbles. The History of the Town of Southampton (Long Island NY) pub. 1918 says Sands Point was named after the family -- in an article on a "sea tiger" captured 1853, written by A. R. Sands (with -s). A William Eardeley supposedly wrote notes on the Sands (-s) family in Long Island. The Compendium of Am. Genealogy vol VI says James Sands/Sandes/Sandys 1622-1695 b. in England m. Katherine Walker & Sarah Walker (dau. of John Walker), moved 1635 to Boston, 1640 Portsmouth RI, then to Block Island NY. Book called Ancient Town of Pelham (p.7-8) said in 1650s this James as a young man built a house for Anne Walker Hutchinson, religious leader who left Boston 1637/38. He went to RI 1642, moved to mouth of Hutchinson River in NY (Eastchester) summer of 1643; was Dep. Gen. Court for New Shoreham County 1665, asst. warden 1676, Commander of militia in King Philip's (Indian) War. That gives us 4 possible spelling of the family name and the suggestion that it's English." |
| 3558 | I2800 | Mother's name per Jan Binkley: "From the Compendium mentioned, I got Mary Cornell/Cromwell as wife of the younger James Sands 1672 (b. Block Is. NY)-d. after 1730 (will 9.21.1730) at Sands Pt (Jamaica) LINY. His will left money to" granddaughter Sarah Everett". His children were Othniel 1699-1757 who m. Susan Lang in 1793; James; John who moved to Amity Tp PA abt 1732; Abijah who moved to Amity with John; Mary whose tombstone says 1741-1742 per Geneal. A,. Families p.486; Zerviah (fem); Sarah; Bathsheba b. abt 1700 at Sands Pt NY - d. bef. 1742, m. Thos Everett Sr. The Sands descendants in PA must have come from John and Abijah." |

| 3563 | I2803 | Jean Michael was baptized in Alsace on Feb 18, 1724, in the Evangelish- Reformierte Kirche, Oberseebach. His godparents in Alsace were Maria Margaretha Christ and Johannes Michael Schatz. One record showed his parents as Philippi Jacobi and Catharina Probst (Philippi Jacobi would be the Latin, or Roman Catholic spelling); another shows Philippe Jacques Probst and wife, Catherine, Lutherans. Jean Michael was only 12 years old when his family arrived in America in 1733. At the age of 21, he married Margaret Shadt (Daughter of Henry and Susanna Shadt) and had one son Heinrich (1745). (Note that previous reports that Margaret's name was Shade were in error. Also, her first name has not been verified.) The family farm was on the farmsite of Philipp Jacob Probst in Albany Township, Berks County. PJ's son Jean Michael took over management the farm in the mid-1750s; PJ died probably around 1857, just a year or two before his wife, C'erine. Jean Michael moved onto his own farmland, just to the northwest of his father's farm, in the mid-1760s with the purchase of 923 acres of land to add to the 40 acres he had already owned. He was shown on the Albany Twp, Berks Co, tax rolls for 1752. Jean Michael diel in 1771, and his sons Martin and Johannes F. took over the farm. The farmsite is located just about a mile northwest of the Jerusalem "Red" Church in Stony Run, in what was back then called Fetherolfsville. It lies just north of Kistler Creek, at the intersection of Kistler Valley Road and Old Philly Pike. The bridge is still called Fetherolfsville Bridge on county maps. The original log house is gone, but the stone house which replaced it is still there. The stone house was built in the mid-1700s by Philipp Jacob and his sons. It has been modified and expanded in recent years, and is currently occupied by Jos. Freeman & family. Jean Martin's Grist Mill was just across the street, also on the north side of Kistler Creek, but is no longer there; it was located in what is now just a grove of trees. The house left Brobst hands probably in the early 1800s. Interestingly, the front walkway is made of the millstones from Martin Probst's Mill which was across the street. Their children were probably all born on the family farm. Margaret may have died in 1745, or for reasons unknown, Jean Michael and Margaret separated about that time, for in 1746 he married Maria Elizabeth Albright; they had 10 children. She must have had a difficult pregnancy with Christian, the last child, for she died just a couple of months after his birth. According to Frances Hackworth, there was an additional son, Matthias, born in Reading, PA, who died as a child. No other record of this child. No birth year or mother identified. Frances also believes that all but the first three children were born in Reading, Berks Cty, PA. No other record shows this, but it may be so. He was on the first tax roll of Berks County in 1752. He also owned land in Brunswick Twp, Berks (now Schuylkill) Co, PA, which he acquired in 1766 and 1769; that land later went to his son Martin. He was a grand-uncle of Obadiah. He was also tax collector for Albany Twp in 1759. Owned nearly 1000 acres in Berks and Lehigh Ctys. Some of his land adjoined that of the Friesz family, and when Elizabeth died, he married his newly-widowed neighbor! He owned 2 tracts in Albany Twp of 326 acres, a tract of 50 acres of woodland in the same township adjoining lands of Conrad Schiessler and the Blue Mountains, and two tracts in Brunswick Twp of 350 acres. Some of his land adjoined that of the Friesz family, and when his second wife, Elizabeth, died, he married his newly-widowed neighbor, Margaretha Friesz, and had one more child (George Michael) by her; George Michael was born just a couple of months after his father's death. He was naturalized in Philadelphia on Sept 25, 1761, with his brother Valentine and his friend Johannes Jurg Kistler. They walked the entire distance from Allemaengle to Philadelphia and back!! He died without making a will; brother Valentine and Andreas Hagenbuch were administrators of estate. Info on estate settlement in W. Thomas file. Records show he died shortly before his son George Michael was born. After Jean Michael's death in 1771, his widow Margaretha married Frederick Senztel of Reading, and she took her son George Michael with her into that marriage. After Jean Michael's death, Jacob Gertner of Richmond Township, and Frederick Hill and Valentine Probst, both of Albany Township, were appointed guardians of Anna Maria, Valentine, Christian, and George Michael. Valentine Probst and Andrew Hagenbuch were appointed guardians of Jacob, Michael, and Catharine. (Per Orphan Court Book 2, pages 110, 113, 114, Berks County, Nov 1771.) The court documents state: Michael Probst died possessed of cert. messuage Tenants and Tracts of Land situated partly in Berks County and partly in said Northampton County Containing in whole about Seven Hundred and eighty three Acres and Sixty one Perches besides the Customare allowances And the Orphans Court Dec. 17 1771 ...... leaving widow and Issue ten Children....same valued at One Thousand seven Hundred and eighteen Pounds etc....remainder in hands of said Henry Probst.....conveys to Michael Probst his Brother Cert. three Tracts of land cont. 49 acres and allowances ....Beginning....extending by Land intended to be conveyed unto John Probst...Cont. 6 C. 9 per. the big part of ninety-nine acres etc. etc. et.

(Paragraph above indicated enrollment as Sgt.). Death certif. lists cause of death as "cerebral apoplexy." |
| 3565 | I28036 | Per Larry Herrin: Described by children as natural musician, able to play many instruments. Led Ky. milita against KKK "night-riders" in 1909; was capt. of militia, town marshal of Sturgis, Ky. at time of elopment w/Lula Frances. Also, by family story, married or engaged at time of elopment. According to other stories, later a fed. mine inspector, victim of suspicious "accident" in mine which resulted in amputation of legs, deterioration of health, early death in poverty. Postmaster of Tarma, Ky. at time of death. (Office later closed; there is no Tarma) |
| 3566 | I2804 | Many early records show her family name as Shade, rather than Schadt. However, research done by Dora Kamalu at the LDS Family History Center in Salt Lake City shows her name as Shadt; probably Schadt. She was able to locate records of her probably parents (Henry and Susanna) with that same name. But if Henry was born in 1711, per Forrest Shade, researcher , then either she was not Henry's daughter, or her birth year was not 1725, when Henry was only 14. She may have been Henry's sister, born to Conrad Schadt. Even so, it is noted that in the Fall 1996 issue of "Branches of Berks", the BDGS ancestors of Norman Brown show Susanna Shade ( b. July 11, 1807, d. Mar 6, 1835); Andrew Shade (b. Nov 8 1764, d. Jun 6 1843); Andrew Shade (b. 1725, d. 1786). The relationship between those Shades and this Margaret Schadt is not known. Margaret may have been a sister to the older Andrew Shade, sharing the same birth year (within limits of accuracy), although Forrest Shade does not show her there. There is a Schadt Family History at the Lehigh Co Historical Society; it does not show Margaret. Susan has a copy. Also, she is not shown in "History of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania", pp 1114 et seq. "Schadt-Schaadt Family". And "Our Shade Ancestors", by Janet Shade. |
| 3567 | I28042 | Per Larry Herrin: Death certif. shows cause of death as carcinoma metastases, generalized. |
| 3568 | I28046 | Per Larry Herrin: Suffered last 3 years of his life from cancer. |
| 3569 | I2805 | His exact birth date is not known; the Mar 31 1661 date is of his christening. Bill Brobst has a copy of the birth and marriage records, in the German Pfalz file. Christophel was a master potter (Meistertopfer) in Middle Kandel. Church records call him a Burger and Haffner in Kandel. Church records show his name as Christoph, as do several historical reports. The birth dates shown for his children (except Eva Christina, Maria Sara, and Eva Christina II) are actually the baptism dates; the exact birth dates are not known Will was probated 1 Apr 1727 in Kandel; wife not living at that time. Actually, she had died a few weeks earlier. Why it took so long (8 years) for probate is not known, except perhaps that the younger children were not yet of age. |

He lost his little finger to the Confederate Sentry. Although he is listed in the War Department as a deserter (Union) and a horse thief, he was actually carried to the Missour i River steamboat on a streacher, months later, the results of a bullet wound in his lung, from which he never recovered. He and his cousin Allen Lea (Lee) organized a company of Unio n men to fight under the Confederacy until they could desert over. In 1863, three years later, he and his brother were about all that was left of the original company. Allen Lea was captain of the company."
