Notes for Heinrich Umberger:
Progenitor of the Umberger's in America
HEINRICH UMBERGER, the immigrant and his family emigrated from Germany via Holland to America in 1733, arriving at the Port of Philadelphia on August 28, 1733. He and his wife, JULIAN(A), and their three sons and two daughters Came on the ship HOPE of London; Daniel Reed, Master, from Rotterdam. Their names and ages on Master Reed's Ship List are as follows : Henrick Humberger 45, Hans Lenart 18, Micgel 15, Jans 10, Juliana Humberger 47, Julian 12, Lisbet 8. HEINRICH and his eldest son signed their names on the Oath of Allegiance to Pennsylvania as : HEINRICH UMBERGER and HANS LEONHARD UMBERGER respectively.
Heinrich Umberger And his family settled In Lebanon Twp., Lancaster County (now Lebanon Co.) Pennsylvania. The first records pinpointing their residence in Pennsylvania were found in Baptismal and Marriage records of Rev. John Casper Stoever and the records of Hill Church (Berg Kirche) - the first church erected in the area of Lebanon Twp. And parts west and north. Both sons, Hans Leonard and Michael, appear on the marriage record; they both married in 1742, and daughter Julian married in 1744. Warranty of land records for Pennsylvania show that Heinrich and his two eldest sons received grants fro a total of 550 acres of land in Lebanon Twp., Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania at various times between 1743 and 1751. Lancaster County Deeds also indicate that Heinrich Umberger acquired additional land in Lebanon Twp.
In February of 1766 Heinrich deeded the homestead of 240 acres to his youngest son John For 200 pounds.
Heinrich's first wife, Julian, apparently died shortly after arriving in America. His Will, written in 1766, indicates his wife's name as Anna Maria Catharine and a daughter by the name of Catharine. This daughter married on 10 Jan. 1751. Quoting from Heinrich's Will ---"If my wife dies before me, then instead of said 30 pounds, only 20 pounds my said son John is to pay unto her daughters --- 10 pounds to Anna Mary and 10 pounds to Anna Margareth. This quotation indicates that Heinrich's wife, Anna Maria Catharine, had daughters by a previous marriage.
In the late 1770's or early 1800's, residents in the area inhabited by Heinrich Umberger organized the Humberger School Association for the purpose of building a school for the community. The school house was built on a piece of land originally owned by Heinrich Umberger. In a publication of the Lebanon County Historical Society entitled "THE HUMBERGER SCHOOL ASSOCIATION AND ITS SCHOOL" 1911 by Cyrus Boger, it is stated, quote, "That Humberger was respected and honored among these early settlers, no other proof is needed than that they perpetuated his memory by naming their school after him."
Heinrich and his three sons, Hans Leonard, Michael, and John resided in Lebanon Twp. , Lancaster County (now Lebanon County) PA at the time of their deaths. Heinrich died in 1787 at the age of 99 years. Sometime in the mid 1780's four of his grandsons migrated to Wythe County, Virginia, and established residences there for their descendants.
