A Short History of this Family
Wurttemberg Germany to Washington Co PA
The Thirty-Years War in Germany was followed by long-protracted religious persecutions, resulting in extensive emigrations to the new world, chiefly to Pennsylvania, of those who came from central Germany.
In the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Harrisburg are preserved the original lists of over thirty thousand German immigrants into Pennsylvania within the period 1727-1776, immediately prior to the Revolutionary War with Great Britain.
These lists are in Rupp's “Collection of Thirty Thousand German Immigrants,” published some years ago and found also in vol. 17, Second Series, of the “Pennsylvania Archives.”
Any one examining them will be attracted by the facts that in many cases the ship's list of names subscribed to the oath of allegiance is headed by the name of the pastor who was leading his people into the wilderness; and that, excepting a very small percentage of the whole number, every name is written in German script, evidently the writer's autograph, and in the clear hand of a good penman.
In this collection of thirty thousand names there are but two “KRUMREINS.”
On September 11, 1732, “the ship 'Pennsylvania,' John Stedman, master, from Rotterdam, last from Plymouth,” landed with “seventy-three males above sixteen, women and children of both sexes ninety-eight – in all, one hundred and seventy-one.”In this list is the name of “HANS MICHAEL KRUMREIN.”
And on September 5, 1748, “the ship 'Edinburgh,' James Russell, master, from Rotterdam, last from Portsmouth,” landed with one hundred and twenty-seven persons.In this list of names is that of “GEORGE LENHART KRUMREIN.”
The Lutheran Church Registry at Dottingen, in Wurttemberg, Germany, show that “HANS MICHAEL KRUMREIN” was born in Yungholzhausen, between the Rhine and the Necker, not far from Stuttgart, in Wurttemberg, on June 13, 1713, and “communicated” for the “first” time in 1726.
His name does not again appear upon the registry, as it doubtless would have done had he died or remained in the jurisdiction.
The same registry shows the name of “GEORGE LEONHARDT KRUMKREIN” as born at the same place on September 7, 1719, and afterward as a communicant for the “last” time in 1746, after which his name is no more to be found, as it doubtless would have been had he died or remained in the Fatherland.Germany has always looked after her children.
HANS MICHAEL KRUMREIN, after living in the neighborhood of Philadelphia until after 1741, passed westward into Northampton County, and finally into Centre County, where some of his descendants still live near Bellefonte, the county seat, others having passed on into Ohio.
GEORGE LENHART KRUMREIN settled in Baltimore County, Maryland, which then extended westward as far as York County, Pennsylvania.
And in the year 1800, GEORGE CRUMRINE, a son of ABRAHAM, who was a son of GEORGE LENHART, passed from Baltimore County, Maryland, near Melrose, now Carroll County, Maryland, over the Alleghanies into the valley of the Monongahela, and settled upon a farm on the east side of Plum Run, in East Bethelem Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania.
