Fact: Various records record his given name as Engle; however, the correct spelling would be Engel, which in German means "angel." Other records have him as Englebrecht, which is "bright angel." 3. Occupation: shoemaker. A tax list as well as Engel Bucher's list of possessions filed after he died indicate he was a shoemaker by profession. 4. Fact: GODPARENTS: Johann Engelbert Christ; Caspar Flucht; Maria "Catharin", wife of Johann Henrich Hanfels., Dec 1722, Burbach, Siegen-Wittgenstein, Nordrhein-Westfalen, DEU. 15 5. Unproven: He may be the Johan Engel Becher baptized in 1731 in Prussia. 10 6. He immigrated on the Ship Neptune, James Wier, captain, from Rotterdam, last by Cowes, Isle of Wright, England on 23 Sep 1751 to Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. 14 16 19 Among the passengers on the Neptune in 1751 was a Joh.

He appeared as a sponsor at a baptism on 14 Oct 1759 at East Cocalico Twp.: Muddy Creek Reformed Church, Lancaster, PA. It is possible that Jacob Frey married Engel's daughter? Also, a Jacob Frey arrived with Engel on the ship Neptune in 1751. 21 22 9. Residence: From "History of Lancaster County": In 1761, William Adams laid out Adamstown. First holders of lots were Bicher, Eichholtz, Fansler, Negle, Kearn, Richards, Brendle, Steffs, Flickinger, Schlough, Reager and others. in 1761 in Adamstown, Lancaster, PA. 23 10. Residence: on 21 Jan 1766 in Brecknock Twp., Lancaster, PA. 24 His daughter's marriage record states "Bucher, Elisabeth, daughter of Engel, of Brecknock". They were married at the Muddy Creek Church in Cocalico Township. 11. Tax List: Cocalico Tax Return, 1769, Cocalico Twp., Lancaster, PA. 25 Bicher Engle shoemaker - 0 0 0 J 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12. Tax List: 1770, , Lancaster, PA. 26 The list shows: 13. He appeared as a sponsor at a baptism on 20 Aug 1771 at , Lancaster, PA. 27 28 14. Tax List: 1772, Cocalico Twp., Lancaster, PA. 29 Three relatives are listed in the 1772 tax list for Cocalico Township: 15. The Lancaster County Historical Society conducted a search for deeds in the historic records of Lancaster County and found no deeds in the name of Engel Bucher. However, Engel's will leaves a house and acreage to his wife so he must have owned property. 16. He signed a will on 24 Feb 1778 in Cocalico Twp., Lancaster, PA. 2 30 31 In the Name of God Amen 17. Will Book C Page 520. on 19 Mar 1778 in Cocalico Twp., Lancaster, PA. 32 33 Engle Bucher Deceased 18. On 11 Apr 1779 in Stouchsburg: Christ Lutheran Church, Berks, PA. 13 The record for Johan Jacob Bucher's marriage to Catherine Heckedorn at Christ Lutheran Church shows on 11 Apr 1779 that Johan Jacob's father was Engelbracht Bucher deceased. 19. Issue: Engel's will indicates he had 10 children., 24 Feb 1778, Cocalico Twp., Lancaster, PA. We can deterine Engel Bucher's children because Engel Bucher is mentioned in the marriage records of his daughter Elizabeth and sons Peter, Jacob, and Henrich. His will mentions there were ten children but only mentions sons Jacob and John by name (as well as wife Elizabeth.) We have not yet identified the other five children, but we can speculate they should have the given names that were used repeatedly in succeeding generations, such as Peter, William, Benjamin, George. 20. Book: History of Lancaster County, 1844. 34 21. Book: Kentucky Pioneer and Court Records, 1929. 8 Johann married Anna Margaretha Mohr, daughter of Johannes Mohr and Unknown, on 16 Jun 1746 in Burbach, Siegen-Wittgenstein, Nordrhein-Westfalen, DEU.1 (Anna Margaretha Mohr was born in Wiederstein, Siegen-Wittgenstein, NW, DEU 15.) Johann next married Elizabeth.2 |
