Johann Heinrich Krebs (1711
– 1771) – Johann Heinrich Krebs, the son of Johann Michael & Margaretha
Barbara Krebs, was born on July 18, 1711 in Germany. He immigrated with his family to the Pennsylvania Colony.
He lived in New Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, where he was taxed on 100
acres of land in 1734. In 1742 he
was overseer of the poor in New Hanover Township and in 1767 he was overseer of
highways. He was a member of
and trustee of the New Hanover Lutheran Church and signed the new constitution
of the church in 1765.[1]
Heinrich was naturalized in April 1743, along with his father and
brother, Simon. The 1769 tax list
shows that he was taxed on 350 acres of land, four horses and six cows.
He married Maria Barbara Grim (or Krim) on Oct. 21, 1730.[2]
Heinrich Krebs died on January 17, 1771.
Maria Barbara Krebs was found dead in front of her house seven years
later, in 1777.
[1] Another interesting entry in the church records is that Heinrich Kreb’s son George suffered from epileptic fits. Much of what we know about Heinrich Krebs and his family come from church records.
