President: Mrs. William [Kay] James, 308 S. 11th St., Quincy, IL 62301
Vice President: Mr. Ronald Krigbaum, 10434 Prince Dr., St. Louis, MO 63155
Secretary: Mrs. James Steele, Palmyra, MO 63461
Treasurer: Miss Jean Krigbaum, 513 Washington, Quincy, IL 62301
Editor: Mrs. Michael Malone, 2915 Atwood Avenue, Topeka, KS 66614
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

Your President has been quite busy since her recovery from her operation. Cousin Carol has been working long hours, Kay's sister Jean is getting married and Kay herself has been trying to catch up with genealogical material and has sent us a lot of information which we are endeavoring to present in this issue.

However, we are sad to say that money is running low and we shall have to curtail our mailing list and limit only to paid-up members. We have been sending it to everyone who, we thought, might be interested in joining our family organization, but in the future will have to adhere strictly to our membership list. It is not fair to be sending our Newsletter to all and sundry at the expense of the members. We shall, however, send a sample copy to anyone whose name is given us so as to acquaint them with the work of our family group and to urge them to join us.

We have in our possession a copy of the KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY, 1749 - 1918 which was compiled by Judge Charles KRICHBAUM and Raymond L. KREIGHBAUM. A great deal of time and effort have gone into research for this history. Unfortunately, they evidently were unable to find many birth, marriage and death dates. Any information you can give us of your own heritage may enable us to find which line of descent to which each of us belongs and with the necessary dates we may eventually be able to establish a huge family tree showing a common ancestor. So put your minds to work, folks, and see how many pedigrees, with dates, we can all come up with.

FROM THE HISTORY OF FREDERICK CO., MD.:

Page 550. REMSBURGH
This name and its variations of RAMSBURG, REMSBERG, REMENESBERGEREN, REMPARTK, etc. are found from earliest records of Frederick County. Stephen Ramsburg, captain of militia in the Indian Wars, was the son of Stephen and was born in Lorraine in 1711 and came from Pennsylvania about 1732. All of the name in Pennsylvania and Maryland are descended from Stephen or his two nephews who came over a few years later. The Ramsburgs intermarried with the DUTROWS, DEVILBISSES, JOHNSONS, TRAILS, KRICHBAUMS and other early settlers.

Page 902.
The first of the RAMSBERG family in this country came from Germany. The Ramsbergs were first located in Pennsylvania but afterwards removed to Maryland, settling near Challesville, Frederick County of which locality they were pioneer settlers. A member of the 3rd generation of the family was Frederick Ramsberg. He was married to Lida A. Snook. They were parents of Urias S. Ramsburg.

Pages 752 - 755. John Stephen Ramsburg - born March 6, 1836 on the old Ramsburg estate. John, the great-grandfather of John S. Ramsburg, came to the vicinity of Frederick City from Penn. in 1750. He married Mary Brunner. He owned large grants of land known as Taskers Chance situated just outside of Frederick. He was the son of Captain Stephen Ramsburgh, an early Penn. pioneer who came to this country from Lorraine, Germany, where the name is to be found at the present day in church documents and codicils as far back as 800 A. D., during the time of Charlemagne the Great Reformer.

THIS INFORMATION FOUND IN THE INDEX of the HISTORY OF FREDERICK CO., MD.:

DUDDERAR - This family with the DUTROW, DODDERER, DODROW, DUDROW (and about 40 other spellings) families is descended from George Philip DUDDRA of Frederick Township, Montgomery CO., Penn. His grandsons, Jacob and Conrad, settled in Frederick CO, MD.

The following is a copy of a letter received February 22, 1977
from Max K. SNIFFEN, Box 723, Woodsville, Texas 75979.

Dear Mrs. James:
Every time I get my notes on the CREIGHBAUM family out I think of you folks and your paper. Hope you will have another soon as I enjoy them very much. Also want you to let me know when I owe you some more dues. I have been intending to send you something I copied from the History of Uniontown, Penn. while in the library there last summer. Thought you might like it for some future issues.

Philip CREIGHBAUM purchased ".. a two story log dwelling that stood four or five feet above the sidewalk and was approached by steps. He was a stone cutter by trade and manufactured (continued)
Page 6

(continued) GRAVESTONES and GRINDSTONES AND did considerable business in his line. He was quite a versifier and composed many of the verses carved on the gravestones found still standing in the old burying grounds of Uniontown. One day while drinking at Morgan A. Miller's tavern at the head of Morgantown street in company with Abraham Brown it was proposed that CREIGHBAUM compose a suitable epitaph for Brown's tombstone when the following was quickly produced:
Here lies the body of Abram Brown, who lives three miles from Uniontown,
He loaned his money at six per cent, the more he got the more he lent,
the more he lent the more he craved, Good Lord can such a soul be saved?

Mr. CREIGHBAUM's advertisement in the town paper ran as follows:
I public notice hereby, give in Uniontown where I live,
I grindstones keep and them do sell,
the grit is good, I make them well;
With whetstones also I'll supply,
all those wishing for to buy;
Good money I will in pay,
but paper trash - keep that away;
Good bargains I will let you have,
if you good money do me give,
I'll make them honest good and just,
but do not like too long to trust,
Old debts are often in dispute
and likely to bring on lawsuits,
Therefore 'tis best take care in time,
the grindstone's yours the money mine.
The time is now drawn very near
when you must kill your hogs and steer,
therefore buy whetstones right away,
then you can butcher any day,
Take my advice: come on right quick,
and of my stones have the first pick,
For I the money want right bad,
so fare you well my honest lad.

I believe this PHILIP CREIGHBAUM, Jr., his father was quoted in this publication as being a "hatter."
Good luck on your future ventures.
M. K. SNIFFEN


25th WEDDING ANIVERSARY
Mr. and Mrs. Everett THAYER of 2425 Market, Hannibal, were honored with a reception and open house marking their 25th anniversary Saturday, Feb. 5, 1977, from 7 to 10 p.m. in their home. The former Peggy Jean TURNER, daughter of the late Herbert and Hulda TURNER, and Mr. THAYER, son of the late Edward and Callie THAYER, were married Feb. 9, 1952 by the late Rev. John Golden. Their attendants were William and Dorothy Settles of Quincy, ILL., sister and brother-in-law of Mr. Thayer. The THAYERs have one daughter, Vickie Dianne, at home. Mr. Thayer is employed as a bartender at J. K. Mill's Bar in Hannibal, MO. Mrs. Thayer is the granddaughter of the late Mrs. MINERVA KRIGBAUM RICHARDS. Minerva was the daughter of JACOB R. KRIGBAUM, Jr. and Polly Jane GOODNIGHT. Jacob had two brothers who also married sisters of Polly Jane Goodnight. They were ANDREW P. KRIGBAUM who married Sarah B. GOODNIGHT and ALBERT KRIGBAUM who married Polina GOODNIGHT. It is known that JACOB, Jr., ANDREW P. and ALBERT were brothers. It is believed that POLLY JANE, SARAH B. and POLINA were sisters. The father of the three KRIGBAUM brothers was JACOB KRIGBAUM, Sr., who was married to MARIA BRANDON. The father of JACOB, SR. was JACOB who married MARIA REIS in Frederick Co, MD around 1796 and lived in Jessamine CO., KY until about 1824. They came by covered wagon to Ralls Co., MO. With them they brought nine children. Just look at all of the descendants of JACOB still in Ralls CO., MO. and the surrounding areas.


According to the KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY 1749 to 1918 which was compiled by Judge Charles KRICHBAUM and Raymond L. KREIGHBAUM, Johannes PHILIP KRICHBAUM, who came to this county on the Ship Albany in 1749 (continued)
Page 7

(continued) Had reared one son PHILIP, JR. whose children were: SAMUEL, JOHN, CONRAD, SUSAN, REBECCA, MARY, BARBARA and HENRY. HENRY changed the name to KRICKBAUM. He married Susan BREISCH and lived in Catawissa Township, Columbus Co., PA. The children of HENRY were: SUSANNA and WILLIAM KRICKBAUM. They edited the Bloomsburg Sentinel for many years. William was active in Penn. politics and was known as the Honorable William KRICKBAUM.
At the time the history was written, there were some descendants of this branch living in Pennsylvania but they were unable to give the researchers further information. They reported that the late Dr. CHARLES KRICKBAUM of Ceresco, Nebraska was a grandchild of PHILIP, JR. but at that time it was impossible to obtain the name of his father.
Do not forget that this history was written in 1918. It is known that the family was not a very large one, but it has been about three generations since then, and we should like very much to complete the history to date. Also, if any of you can furnish dates for any of the above, we shall appreciate it if you will send them and whatever other information you may have to our President, Mrs. William JAMES, 308 South 11th St., Quincy, ILL 62301. Your Editor is especially interested in any descendants of CONRAD who, she believes, may be the father of her great-grandfather, CONRAD KRIEGBAUM, who married PRUDENCE BLAIR in Maryland, Allegheny CO., 25 Dec. 1821.

[ *** NOTE by Nancy Peche - Peter KREIGHBAUM, above, married ELIZABETH DAVIS on 11 May 1807 in Union CO, PA. Peter KREIGHBAUM was the son of JOHN PETER KRIEGBAUM & Anna Maria HOFFMAN, grandson of the immigrant Johannes WILHELM KRIEGBAUM & Anna Barbara RETTIG. ]

Also taken from the above book:

COLEMAN K. SOBER was born Nov. 1842 near Shamokin, Penn., the son of Isaac Sober [born: Feb. 1814 - 12 June 1882) and married MARY KREIGHBAUM and had: Freeman W., Harriet [who married Samuel Swinehart), Coleman K., C. Moyer, Amanda [who married George Startzel], Adeline [who married A. J. Campbell], Martin Luther, and Clara [who married D. S. Holibaugh]. Coleman K. married in 1864 Bernetta Anderson [daughter of Jacob and Phebe Anderson], and they had four children.

ED. NOTE:-- According to the KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY by Judge Charles Krichbaum and Raymond L. Kreighbaum, dated in 1918, COLEMAN KREIGHBAUM SOBER was a grandson of Captain GEORGE KREIGHBAUM, third [3] son of ADAM KRICHBAUM, Jr. who, in turn was the first [1] son of Johannes ADAM, immigrant ancestor and one of the three brothers who came to the U.S. on the Ship Albany in 1749. The history also shows other children to be: Clinton, Isabella and Barbara. It is hoped eventually to track down as many descendants as possible of the three immigrant brothers.

An interesting note to the census record showing Samuel JOLLY, etc. is that MISSOURI BELLE CREEKBAUM FRITSCHE's application for membership to the Daughters of the American Revolution shows that PHILIP CREEKBAUM b. 1758 and d. 1826, married CATHERINE JOLLY 6 June 1780 and their children were: JOHN m. Rebecca CAHILL; CATHERINE m. Robert CONN; SUSA[N] m. Samuel JOLLY, NELLIE - old maid; PHILIP, Jr. m. Mary ALLEN; MARIE, ELIZABETH b. 1784 d. 1787; ADAM b. 1795 d. 1798.

Both MISSOURI BELLE and TRESSA J. MISCHLER, who showed Samuel JOLLY to be her grandfather, and his son Samuel F., her father, were admitted to the DAR. The PHILIP CREEKBAUM mentioned was a Revolutionary War ancestor.

Now please note on the following page another spelling of possibly the same PHILIP.
Page 9

The KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY (page 7) shows PHILIP KRIGBAUM b. 22 Sept 1758 was the fourth [4] son of JOHN ADAM and EVA MARIA Tulpehocken Church, Berks Co., Pa. PHILIP's father was a son of ADAM, Jr. who, in turn was the first born son of Johannes ADAM KRICHBAUM, the original immigrant. PHILIP's father wrote the name KRIGBAUM.

***NOTE by Nancy Peche: THE KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY had three of the children of the two immigrant brothers, JOH. WILHELM and JOH. ADAM Kriegbaum confused. It can be proved by baptism records, will, and estate records, which sons were JOH. ADAM's and which sons were the children of his brother JOH. WILHELM KRIEGBAUM. Five sons were born to the union of JOH. WILHELM and his wife ANNA BARBARA. They were all listed in the Orphans Court Document in Berks Co., PA in 1791 after their father died intestate. The five sons were:
1. Joh. ADAM b. 1750 baptized: Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchberg
2. Joh. PETER b. 1752 baptized: Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchberg
3. Joh. WILHELM b. 1754 baptized: Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchberg
4. JOHANNES b. 1762
5. GEORGE b. 1763

Two sons were born to JOH. ADAM and his wife EVA MARIA. The two sons were listed in the distribution of the estate of their father on June 8, 1779 in Hagerstown, Washington Co, Md. The two sons were:
1. Joh. PHILIP b. 1758 baptized: Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchberg
2. Joh. ADAM b. 1762 baptized: Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchberg

Page 9, continued from above

In the obituary of Mrs. FANNIE F. BRYANT [page 5], you will note that both she and SAMUEL MOSES KRIGBAUM were descendants of WILLIAM B. KRIGBAUM [b. 1811]. The last-named was a son of DAVID L. KREIGHBAUM, we believe, who was born at Plum Creek, PA. on 8 Sept. 1848 and was married to Lydia A. SUMMERS. William B. was born at Sunbury, PA. 19 Oct. 1871. His wife was Zella L. BROOMBAUGH. DAVID L. was a son of BENJAMIN who was the second son of JOHN and a grandson of Johannes ADAM , Jr. who, in turn was the first son of Johannes ADAM, original ancestor. The father of the three brothers came to the U.S. and died here. He was Conrad KRICHBAUM, and, therefore, the common progenitor of the family in America.

*** NOTE BY NANCY PECHE: Part of the above paragraph again is incorrect. The progenitor of the family in America was not CONRAD KRICHBAUM, the immigrant. In order to correct the misconception about the parentage of the two immigrant brothers, Joh. WILHELM and Joh. ADAM KRIEGBAUM, and also the parentage of the immigrant Johann CONRAD KRICHBAUM, a portion of the last and final issue of the KRIEGBAUM HERITAGE will be inserted at this time.

RESEARCH IN GERMANY:
"We have received a little data from our researcher, Cornelia Schrader Muggenthaler mostly what we already had and also some of the same from Dr. Maria Louise Seidenfaden. We are printing some excerpts from the letters so you will have it for your files but as yet we do not have conclusive proof of the immigrants and their families. If and when we do receive proof of the immigrants, whether they be brothers, cousins or no kin, we will publish a special newsletter at our expense.

Note: Unless CONRAD was 16 years old when he married PRUDENCE BLAIR, the ages shown above are debatable. PRUDENCE would have also been 16 years of age. CONRAD died intestate in December 1851, the exact day is not mentioned in the papers of Administrations of the Estate; however, the Administrator's Bond is signed 17 December 1851.

NOTE: Margret Mary KRIGBAUM was born 6 July 1834 and since she died 6 March 1908, the obituary notice was in error as to her age. Also in error as to location of her home.

WILLIAM THOMAS KRIGBAUM, age 83, died yesterday [February 2, 1918] at his home 4 miles southeast of Topeka. He was a member of the Topeka Post G.A.R. and came to Kansas in 1870.

If you are wondering where to send for marriage, birth and death, and divorce records, the United States Government has printed three booklets as follows: Where to write for Marriage Records, DHEW Publications No. (HSM) 72-1144 Birth and Death Records, DHEW Publications No. HSM 72-1142 Divorce Records, Public Health Service Publicaton No. 630C For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402. The booklets your Editor has in her possession were revised in 1972 and it is possible the figure 72 in the number of the document refers to the year of revision. Suggest you give the number and mention the revision date but request the latest revision. Although the Editor paid 25 cents each for them, she has heard that they are now free.

When you arrive at your immigrant ancestor, THE HOW BOOK FOR GENEALOGISTS, published by The Everton Publishers, Inc., P.O. BOX 368, Logan, Utah, 84321, suggests a unique and very simple way of numbering so that each descendant has his own number and cannot be confused that that of any other. For example, CONRAD KRICHBAUM 1, Johannes ADAM, 11, Johannes WILHELM 13, Johannes PHILIP 12. It would be nice if (continued)

(continued) all branches of the family used this system as it would be much simpler to write an up-to-date history of the KRICHBAUM FAMILY.

Your Editor will be very glad to assist any of you if you have difficulty in understanding the system. Later on we hope to have all three branches numbered by this system so that you may be able to see at a glance where your own family stands. In order to do this properly, we shall need all the help each and every person can give us. We want the FEMALE lines as well as the MALE lines, although the latter are very necessary as the name is carried on through these lines.

Some time ago, Mr. Everett L. JONES of Hannibal, MO., wrote us giving us the following information: Ethel KRIGBAUM - Wm. O. JONES, 7 June 1904, were his parents. Ethel's mother was Jennie U. KRIGBAUM and her father was Charles B. KRIGBAUM - her sister Pearl KRIGBAUM. All are deceased and are interred in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

He lists the facts as he knows them: Ethel V. KRIGBAUM - Mother Jennie U. KRIGBAUM: Father: Charles B. KRIGBAUM. Jennie U. was born Jennie U. SCOTT in Indiana. Pearl E. was sister to Ethel. Also two brothers were Harry L. KRIGBAUM and Carl P. KRIGBAUM all deceased.


A book of the Thirty-third Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Kansas and Dedication of Memorial Hall 1914, in the library of the Kansas State Historical Society which is housed in that building, lists W. T. GRIGBAUM [Krigbaum] I - 5. He is William Thomas referred to on page 10 whose assignment was to Company I, 5th Regiment, Kansas Calvary.


Lineage shown by the DAR shows: Johannes Adam KRICHBAUM was born at Erbach, Württemberg, Germany. John William KRICHBAUM, b. October 10, 1754, Berks County, PA. d. Stark County, OHIO, November 20, 1815: his wife Catharine GARMAN.
