• Notes

  Johannes Brubacher son of Hans and Anna Brubacher John Brubacher, eldest son, after having grown to manhood desired to go to Switzerland (Germany) to seek a wife, but his Parents were dissuaded from consenting. However, he went after his father's death, in the year 1750, arrived in his father's native land, and was received with great joy. He was successful in his matrimonial undertaking, and found a maiden, Maria Newcomer, who was willing to cast her lot with him in the New World. John Brubaker and Maria Newcomer enter into the sacred relation of matrimony in 1750. They then sailed for America. When John and his wife came to America, they brought among other things, a large chest full of goods, glassware and earthenware. Those articles became scattered about, but some are yet extant. and are highly prized as relics by those that have them. After their arrival in America they settled in what is now Elizabeth Township,Lancaster County, Pa. , only thirty weeks later Maria died on Dec. 15, 1750. John remarried shortly after on 30 April 1751 he married Maria TAUNER. John and Maria (Tanner) Brubaker were blessed with a large family, five sons and six daughters, most of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. John Brubaker was deprived of this sight during the latter years of this life. During his blindness he would call into his room his grandson, Jacob Brubacher, every Sunday morning, and have him read a sermon out of his book of sermons, called the "Denner Buch". The chair on which the old grandfather sat and the book are in the possession of Jacob N. Brubaker. Source: Biographical Annals of Lancaster County, Pa. by J.H. Beers & Co.
