| 2266 | BIOGRAPHY: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~harringtonfamilies/120b.htm Franz Brubach was born about 1650 in the city of Zurich, Switzerland. The Zurich city records from that era are missing and so we can not determine Franz Brubach's parents. Franz had already begun his trade as a blacksmith in Zurich when he immigrated to Annweiler, Pfalz, Germany sometime around the year 1670. He was one of the immigrants that had been invited to Germany to repopulate the area following the devastating "30 Years War." Franz married Susanna Reeb, an Annweiler resident, on July 14, 1674. In Annweiler, Franz continued his work as a blacksmith, a trade which became a family vocation of his children and grandchildren. Franz and Susanna were members of the Reformed Protestant Church in Annweiler. Both Franz and Susan became victims of the Bubonic Plague and died during the same week. Susanna died November 3, 1694 at the age of 43 and Franz died November 5, 1694. The couple are buried at Annweiler. Of Franz and Susanna (Reeb) Brubach's five known children, one son, Johann Michael Brubach (November 22, 1684 - July 16, 1685), died within the first year of life. Susanna Brubach (November 15, 1681 - ?) was confirmed in Annweiler. The second Susanna in the family, Susanna Brubach (May 7, 1682 - ?), was a niece or relative taken into the home. Three sons and probably the two Susanna grew to adulthood. | Brubach, Franz (I42037)

He was a brewer and also one of the early members of St. Paul's Evangelical Church on south Main St. According to Hardesty's HISTORICAL HAND ATLAS OF MONROE CO. he was a leading farmer in Centre township and an extensive raiser of stock, beside[s] his brewing activities. He was born in Alsace, Germany April 11, 1818 and married in Pittsburgh, PA. Oct. 18, 1841 to Elizabeth Yockey, a native of Rumbach, Germany, who was born April 5, 1821. Their children were Margaret E. (married to a man named Rose) who was born in Pittsburgh April 25, 1842, and resided in 1882 in Riverside, Iowa; John H. born Pitts. PA. Sept. 6, 1843 - he married Martha Okey; Anna M. (Schumacher) born Fayette, Allegheny Co., PA. July 13, 1847; William b. July 10, 1849 - married Margaret Henthorne; Louis P. b. Oct. 26, 1851 - married Clara; Charlotte Fredericka Elizabetha Sophia born Aug. 26, 1855 who never married and was always called Aunt Lot by all her relatives and friends; and my grandmother, Catharine Louis[e], born May 10, 1859. John M. Lang served in the Civil War, including the battle of Vicksburg, and later moved to Roseville, Illinois. Michael Lang was the son of Michael Lang, Sr. and Margaret Paul Lang. I imagine they are buried someplace in or near Pittsburgh, but I have never done any research on them. They had a daughter Catharine who married a Helfrich and a daughter Elizabeth who married a Straub. That family also engaged in brewing in Pittsburgh prior to the 20th century. There was supposed to have been a son, Henry, who went to California in the gold rush of 1849 and was never heard from again. According to the sketch in Hardesty History, Elizabeth Yockey Lang was the daughter of Laurence and Elizabeth Brumbach Yockey. According to stories told me by my grandmother and Aunt Lot, Elizabeth Yockey lived near Miltonsburgh, and wanting a change of scene from rural to urban (probably she became tired of mil[k]ing cows all the time,) she walked to the river and took a boat for Pittsburgh, probably to visit some friends or relatives. It was there she met Michael Lang and married him. After living in that vicinity for a few years, she must have prevailed on him to move with her back to Monroe Co. They are both buried in the Pioneer Cemetery in Woodsfield. The stone for Michael shows that he was born in Canton Neterbron, France, April 11, 1818, and died Mar. 21, 1896, and the stone for Elizabeth shows she was born Apr. 5, 1821, and died July 5, 1896. Their son, William is also buried there, b. July 10, 1849, died Feb. 26, 1890, and his wife, Margaret, born April 28, 1842, died May 20, 1925. He was a builder, and I seem to remember that he fell off the roof of a house he was repairing. Elizabeth Yockey Lang met an untimely end too, as the horse she was driving down reservoir hill became frightened at something, and upset the carriage and she died of a broken neck. Now if one is wondering at the apparent discrepancy between the birthplace on Michael's stone as Canton Neterbron, France, and the information in Hardesty's History as Alsace, Germany, one must again back-track to history. Alsace was a province that was the subject of much controversy between France and Germany, going back and forth between them much like a yo-yo. He was really a German but born in that province while it was under the domination of the French. I suspect that Canton Neterbron is part of the province of Alsace, although I have never checked this out either. The Michael Lang family lived in Woodsfield on the lot formerly the site of the Lucetta Keegan house, now owned by Supt. Devore, and later across the road from the Riley sub-division, on a farm formerly owned by the Belts and Okeys. There is a cave on that property which Roy Eddy and I once explored, probably used by Michael Lang to keep his beer cool. I have a beer glass that once belonged to him. I have no idea when Michael Lang's parents came to this country, but tradition indicates he was about 9 years old at the time, or circa 1827. Stories in the Yockey family indicate that they probably came to this country in 1831. To be continued. BIOGRAPHY: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~harringtonfamilies/BioSket_CentreTwp.htm#LangMichael MICHAEL LANG ? is one of the leading farmers of Centre township, and an extensive raiser of stock; he is also engaged in brewing. He was born in Alsace, Germany, Apr 11 1818. He was married in Pittsburgh, PA, Oct 18 1841, to Elizabeth YOCKEY, who is a native of Rumbach, Germany, born Apr 5 1821. Their children are: Margaret E.

| 2291 | BIOGRAPHY: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~peppercrisp/page01.html Paul Roadsmith has been researched from every direction possible. The original spelling of his name was Rothschmidt ... the name later corrupted into several different spellings. Paul's father, Frederick Baltzer (Walter) Rothsmith, was among the Palatines imported from Rotterdam, South Holland, to Cowes, Isle of Wight, in Southern England, then on to America via the Ship Marlborough in 1741. Paul was baptized in Pennsylvania at Muddy Creek Church. His mother was listed as Anna Margaretha Lebo. It has been claimed that Paul's father first married to an Elizabeth _?_, who died after their second daughter was born. Whether that child died when the mother died, OR, whether Catherina was that daughter is not known, for the daughter was not named...neither has the Source ever been located. When claims pop up that no amount of research time can prove, and we've spent hours-on-end to find 'some evidences' to substantiate those claims ... more often what we do find is the claims have no merit. Regardless, never wanting to miss discovering an ancestor ... if anyone can shed light on Walter Roadsmith having a wife named 'Elizabeth', please let me know. Although I report this claim, still ... from all records found, Walter had only one wife of his four children, Anna Margaretha Lebo. Anna Margaretha Lebo, was the daughter of John Lebo, b ca 1683 in Alsace, France/Germany, and Judith Hanotiaux, b ca 1688, London England. They married ca 1705 and had a family of eleven (known) children. John died 1759 in Berks Co., Pennsylvania, and Judith died ca 1710. Children of Anna Margaretha Lebo and Frederick Walter Rothsmith, were: Anna Maria Roadsmith, born 12 August 1744; Maria Catherina Roadsmith, born 8 October 1745; Friedrich Paul Roadsmith, born 12 March 1748; and, Maria Barbara Roadsmith, born May 3, 1753. From evidences reported herein, this Researcher believes Catherina Roadsmith was indeed Wyatt Holt's Mother. Thus, Walter Roadsmith and his wife, Anna Margaretha Lebo, were Wyatt's maternal grandparents. It was not strange for Germans to name their children with one same name, such as Anna Maria, Maria Catherina and Maria Barbara. Sons would be named such as John William, John Charles, John James and so on. His German name, plus knowing Walter Rothschmidt came to America on the Ship Marlbourgh, sailing from Rotterdam, in Southern Holland, a German speaking country, gives enough proof that Walter spoke the German language. Information to confirm his wife's Lebo family also spoke German during the days when John Lebo lived there, comes from Wikipedia online data: "(Alzas in French and Ell-sass in German.) Alsace is on the Eastern border of France, adjacent to Germany, on the banks of the Upper Rhine. Ell-sass means "seated on the Ill". Ill is a river in Alsace. It's capital is Strasbourg. Alsace...once a part of the Holy Roman Empire, changed hands btwn France and Germany several times between the 17th and 20th century and was known as a German speaking region for most of its history. In these times most Inhabitants speak French with German as a second language." Paul Rodsmith's 1790 U. S. Census, Rowan County, North Carolina, was: TWO males, age 16 up; one male under 16 and two females over age 16. In the 1800 Rowan County Census, Paul Roadsmith and wife had no son living in their home; however, their daughter...(btwn age 16-26)...still lived at home. Another Roadsmith listed in Rowan County was George Roadsmith, (btwn age 16-26), with a wife, (btwn age 16-26) but no children. No other Roadsmiths were listed in the County by any spelling; so it's not surprising that this George fits the age for Paul's young son listed with him in the 1790 Census. Further proof ... Paul's Will, dated 2 September 1809, confirms his son was named George. Also named was Paul's wife, Catharina, and daughter, Catherine. However, his Will...probated in November of 1815... mentions no other son! What happened to the other male living with Paul Roadsmith in 1790, who seemed to be a Son? No 1800 listing is found for him in Rowan County Census, nor in any other state. Using every variable spelling available on the Internet for the Roadsmith name, this male is not found. It seems he did not exist in 1800. Although no older son was listed in 1800 for Paul Roadsmith, it was indeed the first census for our ancestor, WYATT HOULT. He was also newlywed, for he and wife had no children until April of 1801. There was no other family in Rowan County at that time by the name of Houltz, nor by a similar spelling of Hoult or Holt, etc. So, it should be considered that Wyatt Hoult's parents died before 1790 and thereafter Wyatt was taken in by Paul Roadsmith! For it seems that Wyatt Hoult was likely this other male listed with Paul in his 1790 Census. ALL signs point to this as being what happened. Paul's 1790 Census CAN support this thinking because the male listed with him was over age 16 and that fits Wyatt Hoult to a tee! Nothing in the census said the male was a son...but only that he, a male, lived with the Roadsmith family. At that time Wyatt was 18. And as stated above, Paul's Will mentions only one son, George. Adding all information, including that Paul was a Bondman for the Houltz marriage in 1771...it's unlikely Paul Roadsmith, his father being from Germany, was a relative to Thomas Houltz, an Englishman. That leaves only Catherina Barbuck... the widow, who most likely was Paul's sister. These evidences support that Thomas and Catherina died early-on. Thomas had no Holt family living near. However, Catherina's family lived in Salisbury. So, Wyatt continued living with them. The death of his parents explains why he lived in Paul Roadsmith's home, thereby being counted a member of Paul's family in the census. Hopefully, someone from the family of Wyatt's 'first wife' may have records to verify this when her lineage is discovered. Anyone having evidence of who she was, please share that information with me, Jean Holt, at this website address: peppercrisp@juno.com Rowan County Court Minutes, dated 19 January 1758, records the orphan of Walter Roachmat to be Paul Roachmat (Roadsmith), who was bound as an apprentice to George Bruner for 12 years, until 21 years, to learn the Blacksmith's trade. This Court record proves Paul's father lived in Rowan County and had died there. Important to remember is since his father lived and died there, then the rest of his family was there. This kind of apprenticeship was done when the father had died, even though Paul's Mother was still iiving. This is how families were helped in those days. The record does not say Paul lived with George Bruner, but that he would learn the trade from him. So it is likely Paul continued to live with his Mother and sisters, for he had not yet reached his 10th birthday. (Some spelling variations: RedSmith, Roachmat, Rothschmidt, Rotesmith, Roadsmith, Rodsmith.) At age 13, Paul's sister, Maria Catharina (b1745), would have been living with her parents when her father died. Could this sister have been the Widow Barbuck who eventually married Thomas Houltz? I believe she was. This Catharina was age 26 in 1771. The spelling of her name on the marriage certificate shows she also was of Dutch or German heritage which the Roadsmith's were. No marriage record exists for Maria Catharina Roadsmith (by any spelling) in Rowan County; however, her sister, Barbara's marriage IS recorded there. It is not known which of Wyatt's parents died first, nor the exact time either died. But it is possible he was still quite young when Paul took him ...especially if his Mother died due to complications at his birth in 1772. Whatever happened, it's quite reasonable why Paul took Wyatt into his home, for Paul knew what it was like to be orphaned. It's not a farfetched idea that Paul's sister, Catharina, was a young widow, who married Thomas Houltz. If the Mother of Wyatt Holt was indeed Paul's sister, which seems evident, then Wyatt's heritage was half-German, which further validates the old family story. It seems apparent Maria Catharina Roadsmith Barbarick was the Widow who married Thomas Houltz ... these evidences cannot be ignored. It has been a mystery why Wyatt Hoult was never found with his parents in the 1790 Census. But these evidences have become credible information, pointing to a realization that Paul Roadsmith took Wyatt Hoult into his home for a period of time in his youth, apparently until he married in 1799 or early 1800. With no Houltz kinfolk around when Wyatt was growing up, he, therefore never knew people by that name. Yet, he would have known of his Mother's German heritage. Unfortunately, Wyatt never had anyone named Holt or Houltz living near him during his entire adult life. The only kinfolk information he passed down...that we know of...was the story regarding his father's name ending with a 'z'. However ...the Roadsmith's would have told him that story. This seems to be another clue that his parents died when he was too young to retain knowledge of his father's Holt family. Although this information is full of merit, research continues for all of these people. Yet it seems clear that Thomas Houltz and wife, Catherina were indeed Wyatt Holt's parents. A Phillip Barbruck (sounds like Barbuck) is recorded in Rowan County selling animals in 1767 (pg 66). He died in 1769. Records in Minutes of Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions (1763-1774, pg 103) state letters of administration on the Estate of Phillip Barbrick were given to Cath Barbrick and George Henry Barger, November of 1769. Without doubt, Cath Barbrick was Phillip's widow. Inventory of the Estate of Phillip Barbreck was taken in February of 1770 (pg 107). This family's name was actually 'Barbarick'. Being an unusual name, notice in each record the spelling was always different. These records are evidences that Cath Barbrick was the same as the Widow Catherina Barbuck, Bride of Thomas Houltz on November 29, 1771. The dates in these records work with the marriage. The different spellings of this name was evidently due to the same reason as all the other names were misspelled... the Germans spoke broken English. The reason there was no marriage certificate for Catherine Roadsmith and Phillip Barbarick, (by any spellings), may have been because of the money it took to get registered. Phillip apparently didn't have a friend who would put up his own money to be Phillip's Bondsman. Or, Phillip could have given a friend the money to use in being his Bondsman. But since the marriage was not registered, apparently Phillip didn't have enough money for that expense. This may be the reason many people did not register their marriage back in those days. It is not known how long Catherine and Phillip were married, nor how old they each were when they wed. All of this information provides good evidences to prove the identity of these people on the Houltz marriage certificate. The name Red Smith was a corrupted spelling of the Roadsmith name....and the name Barbuck was a corrupted spelling of the Barbarick name.

He is a son of George and Dorothy (Martzolf) Pflug, and was born on May 28, 1817, in Germany, about ten miles from where the first battle of the Franco-Prussian War was fought. George Pflug, the father of Jacob, came to America on March 16, 1830, with his entire family, and after a voyage of sixty-four days landed in Baltimore, Md., on the 9th of June following. They next moved to Pittsburg by means of a six-horse team, arriving on July 4th, and there George Pflug obtained employment in a nail factory, although his trade was that of a carpenter. When he landed in that city he had but $100, but by hard and conscientious work, in September of the year 1830, he was enabled to buy forty acres of wild land at a cost of $135. In the fall he moved his family to Marion township, Beaver county, where the property was located, and there he built a log house. The next year, leaving his family at home, he went to Phillipsburg, Pa., and worked at boat building for a man named Phillips, continuing thus for three years. In 1833, he erected a small house at Freedom, Pa., it being the first one built in that town, and sold his first purchase at a price of $1,100. He then bought the land on which the house of Jacob Pflug is now located; at that time it was all timber land, but prior to his death it was mostly cleared. He lived upon this property the remainder of his life and at the time of his death in July, 1850, owned one hundred and forty acres. Late in life he replaced the original log cabin with a handsome residence now occupied by his son Jacob. He married Dorothy Martzolf, and they had the following children: Dorothy (Dedrick), deceased; Magdaline (Repe), deceased; Salama (Scheny); Jacob, the subject hereof; Mary, who first married Abraham Burry, and is now the 122 BOOK OF BIOGRAPHIES wife of Frederick Householder; Frederick, a farmer in Butler county, who first married a Miss Garvich, and later wedded Catherine Klein; Barbara, the wife of Michael Veiock; and Philip, deceased. Jacob Pflug was thirteen years of age when he came to this country with his parents, and after arriving in Pittsburg he worked in a hotel at the corner of Wood and Fourth streets, as porter. When his father bought his first tract of forty acres, he moved to Marion with him, and he and his mother cleared four acres the first year. His mother was a very industrious woman and an excellent help-meet to her husband. Before coming to this country she worked upon a farm and was accustomed to plowing with two cows. Jacob Pflug always remained at home, but was at times engaged at working out at the carpenter's trade with his father. He also made shingles and took contracts for roofing houses. After coming into possession of the old homestead he made many improvements, and has since made additions to the house and erected a fine barn. He also greatly added to the property, increasing it to about three hundred and ninety acres, but all excepting the original tract of one hundred and forty acres he has given to his son. He is now engaged in general farming and his advancing years are being spent in the peace and quiet of farm life. He is a well read man, takes a sensible view of all subjects coming to his attention, and is deeply, interested in the progress being made by his fellow workmen. He is highly thought of and has friends far and near. In 1840, Mr. Pflug was joined in wedlock with Salama Householder, by whom he had the following issue: Jacob, the husband of Caroline Herrman ; Salama, the wife of Henry Schramm; Caroline, the wife of John Geohring; Frederick, deceased; Henry, whose wife is Caroline Miller; Mary, the wife of Henry France; George, deceased; Elizabeth, the wife of Frederick Harmon; Amelia, the wife of William Caterrer ; Daniel, who married Elizabeth Gettman; and Matilda, whose first husband was Elmer Geohring, and who was married a second time to Albert Hartzel. The subject of this sketch after the death of his first wife, was united in marriage with Vernelia Geohring, and they have one son, Albert, who resides at home. Politically, he is a Democrat and has held all of the township offices excepting those of justice of the peace and constable. Religiously, he is a devout Lutheran. His portrait is presented on a preceding page, in proximity to this. | Pflug, Georg Jakob (I65674)
