Hendrick/Heinrich Pannebecker (1673/74 - 1754)
      +Eva Umstat (daughter of Hans Peter) born about 1680, died 27 November 1739
      Married 14 October 1699 in Germantown, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania

 

 

NEW INFO March 2008: Hendrick's date of arrival, the marriage date, Eve's date of death, and birthdates of their children are listed in "Pennypacker Express" March-April 2008, which shows info handwritten by Hendrick Pannebecker in DE WERKEN van den HOOG VERLICHTEN JACOB BRIL (THE WORKS OF JACOB BRIL), published in Dutch in Amsterdam by Barent Visser, 1705. The birth dates of the children (last 1725) and her date of death would indicate that Eve was probably born earlier than previously thought, perhaps around 1680.

"My wife died November 27, 1739."

COMMENTS:

 

Of interest in the article is Hendrick's statement "I Heinrich Pannebecker from Crefelt." (The original transcript in German is clear that it was Heinrich who was from Crefelt, not Eva Umstat). It is traditionally believed that Hendrick was born in Flomborn, which is very close to Kriegsheim. When or why he went to Krefeld is unknown (at least to me). Looking through my notes on Heinrich, I see no original documents quoted to confirm his place of birth.

 

Heinrich's statement that he "arrived" in Philadelphia September 2, 1698 is also interesting. Who was the Pannebecker who was here in 1682 and/or between 1686 and 1690 in the references below? Hans Peter and family were here by 1685, so they could reasonably be included in the familys from Kriegsheim, but whether the "one from Flomborn" was a Pannebecker at all, let alone Hendrick, is questionable.

 

In the first reference below, the focus seems to be "with particular consideration of emigration from Nassau." Nassau is a town not too far north and west of Kriegsheim and Flomborn. So this ??? Pannebecker may have been from Nassau.

 

I also wonder whether Heinrich and Eve met in Germantown since they married a year after Heinrich's arrival, or whether they'd known each other as children in Kriegsheim/Flomborn. Heinrich would have been eleven or so and Eve only four or five prior to her leaving to come here in 1685.

A Hendrik Pannebecker was known to be in Germantown between 1686 and 1690 per WILLIAM PENN AND THE PA DUTCH MIGRATION, Hull, Wm I., page 398. The reference says: (After a reference to 1686), "The migration of twenty-seven pioneers from Kri(eg)sheim nearly exhausted the spring; but during the next few years, we find in the Germantown records the names of four more men from Kri(eg)sheim and ONE FROM FLOMBORN, a neighboring village (626). THESE SENT CHILDREN TO THE GERMANTOWN SCHOOL, and presumably brought their wives with them, thus adding to the populatttion perhaps a score of persons, and making a total of about fifty-two from Kri(eg)sheim and Flomborn. Adding together the population from 1683 to 1690, we find the population in the latter year to have been about 175, of whom all but eight or ten were Dutch.
