One account states -
Baltzer (Philip) Leibrock (Lybrook) - frontier Indian Scout and settler. Emigrated on ship from Holland to New Amsterdam (New York) area settling in NJ. Philip born in PA. Moved to sinking Creek New River Valley VA. before 1755. His son John Lybrook, grandfather of Major Samuel Lybrook, married Nannie, daughter of John Chapman, the elder. His son or grandson Philip Lybrook married Anna Miller daughter of the Dunkard preacher Jacob Miller. On the morning of July 31, 1755 a young Preston had been sent from Blacksburg to the Philip Lybrook farm at the mouth of Sinking Creek to get a hand to help in their harvest. Preston and Lybrook started over to Blacksburg by way of the mountains instead of following the river and thus escaped capture by the indians. The indians on their way down the river killed an old man named Barger, cut of his head and carried it in a sack to Mr. Lybrook's farm, threw it down on his doorstep and told him to look and see an old friend.

It forms a revision with additions to Rupp and Egle, and was prepared and edited with great accuracy. Vol. 1 contains captains' lists, 1727-1775; vol. 2 has facsimiles of all signatures of signers of oaths of allegiance and oaths of abjuration, and was not included in the G.P.C. reprint; vol. 3 has captains' lists from 1785-1808, and indexes to captains, ships, ports of departure, and surnames in all volumes.

Contrary to some opinions, this work by Rupp does not duplicate nos. 9041-9042 by Strassburger, although there are thousands of names which are duplicates. Strassburger's work, however, is more accurate and more reliable than Rupp's. See also no. 9330, Urlsperger. The Salzburgers mentioned above were immigrants from Salzburg, Austria.
