Rudolph + BRUBAKER, Barbara. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"ABRAHAM HERR (who came with his father HANS HERR in 1710), Bishop Hans Burkholder and Melchior Brenneman (who came with the Brubakers, Hostetters, Greiders, Hersheys, Stinemans, Leamans, Swarrs, Kauffmans), having fled from the Palatinate, formed a settlement in 1717 along the Conestoga. Services were held in private houses. Congregations were organized and ministers appointed in Lampeter, Strasburg, Manor, Hempfield, Leacock and Earl townships by the Mennonites before Lancaster had changed its name from Hickory Town and before the county was separated from Chester county." (Taken from Mennonites of Lancaster Conference, by Martin G. Weaver, 1931, pp. 37-38.)

"On October 12, 1719, ABRAHAM HERR and his brother, Hans, petitioned James Steel for a grant of 400 acres for their brother, Isaac, who had recently arrived. In the 1720s, according to the estimates of architectural historians, he built a house that still stands at 25 Bentley Lane in Lancaster Township near Millersville on land that went to his son, Rudy." (Taken from the 1994 Supplement to the Third Edition of the Genealogical Record of Hans Herr, by Theodore W. Herr, originally published 1908, p. 788.)
