MESSAGE FROM CAROL:
It has been a busy 3 months since the January issue. We have received a
number of letters and have quite a few new memberships. I have been
involved in income taxes and hope you will overlook any errors in this
issue as I typed it in a rush. I do have good news...my accounting and
tax service has been sold as of May 1, so I will have more time for my
hobbies, genealogy and buttons, as I will be working only part time for
the new owner.
If you have sent a letter or information and have not received a reply or
confirmation, please be patient as I will soon be catching up. We have
had a good response from quite a few of you regarding the newsletter and
do appreciate the comments. We have a suggestion from 1 member which we
hope to use in the near future for our newsletter.
I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE to our reunion query. We had only
2 direct responses on holding another one in another part of the country
and have none who could be responsible for the organization of it.
Unless someone lets us know within the next month, we will hold only the
one in Center MO for 1981.
I have had some research done in Berks County PA and Frederick County
MD. Some of the results appear in this issue and more will follow
later. The will of ADAM KRICHBAUM was in German and I was sent
the translation which was also very difficult to read and therefore has
blanks where I couldn't read it. I have also listed the material
researched in Frederick with either the results or negative. Perhaps
this way we won't be duplicating so much time and effort.
PLEASE, PLEASE do send us your family charts. Also please check your
labels for your date to renew your dues. Keep up the good work with your
research and correspondence. We really love to hear from all of you.
ISABELLA JOSEPHINE MCGINNIS MALONE, past president of The Kriegbaum
Heritage, at the present time-our membership chairman will celebrate her
birthday June 19.
ISABEL will be 77 years young and is very active in our family
organization. She is a present indexing all issues of the Heritage and
family charts that we receive. She is also very active in the Topeka
Genealogical Society. She and her sister MARGARET have made the trip
to the annual reunion every year from the beginning.
We salute ISABEL in this issue and hope that each of you will remember
her with a card and a note of thanks for her efforts on her special day.

IN MEMORIAM:
[from Perry MO] - Grace JENNINGS, 85, formerly of Perry, died at 3:30 a.m. Friday
(March 20, 1981) at the Salt River Nursing Home in Shelbina, where she
resided for the past two years.
She was born April 2, 1895, in PERRY the daughter of JACOB and ROSE
WOOTEN KRIGBAUM. She married ROY JENNINGS in 1913. He died in 1973.
Mrs. JENNINGS attended Perry Schools and was a member of the Christian
Church at Perry.
Survivors include three daughters, Mrs. LYNDELL DODGE of Shelbina, Mrs.
JANE DYE of Hannibal and Mrs. BLANCHE YODIS of Carbondale IL; one sister,
Mrs. ELSIE MILLION of Oregon; nine grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren
and two great great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her
husband, one daughter and two brothers.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Wilkey Funeral Home in Perry,
conducted by the Rev. Tom Vanskike. Burial will be in the Wolfe Cemetery
at Perry.
The following article was found in an old newspaper dated June 3, 1948.
The grandson mentioned is a member of our Kriegbaum Heritage.
Mrs. DORA SUTER observed her 91st birthday Monday, at her home in
Wyaconda MO. No special observance of the day was made as she is in
failing health. Mrs. SUTER was born in Hamilton, IL and one of her
earliest memories is of going to a neighbors where they were mourning
the death of President Lincoln. She hurried home to tell her mother of
the sad news and says that her first knowledge of political differences
came when her mother accepted the knowledge with little sorrow.
Mrs. SUTER is cared for by her daughter Mrs. ANNA KREIGHBAUM
and had recently returned from a visit with her grandson, JAMES
KREIGHBAUM and family of Ft. Madison.

Dear Kay & Carol:
Enclosed are my 1981 dues. I'm guessing it's the same as last year.
Another GREAT issue! The diary account of the western trek by LOUVENIA
CREIGHBAUM is a gem! We're holding it for our children to read.
You came up with a whole new subject for me to research. Oddly, before
moving to this address in 1970, we lived alongside Valley Forge Park for
14 years and 8 years before that, not far away. Valley Forge is on the
Schuylkill (pronounced "Skookil") River a half dozen miles upstream from
where you describe the KRICHBAUM acreage and "Rebel Hill". The road
that runs through here is well known to us as we traveled it hundreds of
times. We wonder if the stone house you refer to is still standing.
Thousands of stone dwellings that date to colonial days are still in
use. Scores of these great old places in perfect condition are on Gulph
Road. There is a Matson's Ford Road crossing Gulph. We have a daughter
living nearby and I'll find time when visiting her to get into one of
the historical societies with which the region abounds to look up the
precise area, take pictures so that the Kriegbaum Association can have
them on file.
Within a few yards of where I believe is this location, Washington's
army camped at Gulph Mills on its way to Valley Forge from its camp at
Whitemarsh in December, 1777. Downstream a mile or two and across the
Schuylkill, there was once, in May,1778, almost the Battle of Barren
Hill. General LaFayette was hankering for a command of troops. He'd had
an aborted campaign to Canada and Washington, out of friendship rather
than acumen, assigned Lafayette 2200 troops. LaFayette and his troops,
which amounted to a third of Washington's troops at Valley Forge took
off on a road march toward Philadelphia, some 22 miles distant. The
British General Howe in Philadelphia, knew of this instantly and right
away designed a trap.
LaFayette, 20, was no dummy. He camped on the northeast side of the
Schulkill near Matson's Ford. He had five cannon and sent out pickets
and scouts in all directions. Howe, with 5000 troops, set out at
ten-thirty in the evening, shortly after LaFayette was settled for the
night. It wasn't long before the scouts discovered Howe's advance troops
on various roads that could cut off LaFayette's escape. Lafayette had
stationed his men mostly in a road that lay in an enfilade alongside the
river, almost right at Matson's Ford. When warned, LaFayette forded the
river and was gone by daylight.
Howe had organized a dinner party in Phildelphia for that night,
boasting to the guests he invited that General LaFayette, who was to be
captured that day, would also be his guest at dinner. By dinnertime,
LaFayette was back in Valley Forge reporting to Washington. The battle
never came off.
A ludicrous side anecdote occurred when LaFayette had sent a 150 man
scouting party up the main road, Ridge Road, to distract the British
while
Page 4
[EARL W. TRASTER'S LETTER - continued]
he was fording the river. Fifty of the 150 were Oneida Indians. The 150
were in a column of files (single file) ambling along Ridge Road toward
Philadelphia, while the advance party of one of the British columns was
approaching them from Philadelphia. Each was screened from the other by
a rise in the road. Neither was expecting the other and in the early
dawn, neither was aware of the other until they almost were actual
contact, like maybe a couple hundred feet. Or closer. The Indians had
never seen mounted soldiors, especially in red coats. They hooped and
hollered. The horses bolted. The British broke ranks and ran one way
back. The Americans, no less surprised, ran the other way - back. Not a
shot was fired. That was as close as the Battle of Barren Hill came to
being the Battle of Barren Hill!
Had there been shots, the KRICHBAUMS in their farm near Matson's Ford,
would have heard them. So you see, these KRICHBAUMS lived in historic
times at historic places.
It might have been fatal for the American cause, had Lafayette been
trapped and a third of the Army destroyed. When the Army walked past the
KRICHBAUM farm a day before they reached what was to be their camp for
six months at Valley Forge, they were in no shape to meet the British.
Of over 10,000, less than 500 were fit for duty and over 500 would be
dead within a week. There was a heavy snow while in camp one night at
Gulph Mills. The march on December 19th was headed by the supply wagons,
followed by the straggling soldiers. There was a big thaw and then the
temperature dropped abruptly, freezing the slush. The wagons had left
their ruts, which then froze. The rutted and jagged ice cut through
the rags that wrapped thousands of feet and cut up the worn out boots
and shoes. As all this was happening, it snowed some more. The fresh
snow was red with the soldier's blood, as they marched the six miles
from Gulph Mills to Valley Forge.
The six months bivouac at Valley Forge was most important to the Amercan
cause, as it gave the Army and its officers a chance to regroup, train,
and become a force capable of continuing and winning the Revolution.
Perhaps this summer, I can get over there to research this spot.
Keep up the grand work, ladies!
Cordially,
EARL W. TRASTER
EDITORS NOTE: I am including this letter from Mr. TRASTER as it adds to
the PHILLIP KRICHBAUM profile in the last newsletter. As he describes this,
I can almost see the KRICHBAUM family and the events described above.
We do appreciate the research and the letters from EARL.

Sept. 1980
Dear Kay;
While it has been a long dry spell between letters I have been working
on the KRIGBAUM Family. I was really hoping I would be able to write with all these great
"Finds" but really I think I have just ended up at the same place I
started. I do have a few bits and pieces to share. The lady that provided the
information for another son of CONRAD's in Maryland wrote back to say
she had made an error and he does not have a son SAMUEL.
So that needs to be taken off the family group sheets.
I have put a great deal of time (and one pair of glasses) into reading
and re-writing the 23 land transactions that involved our KRIGBAUM
ancestors in Maryland and Ohio. (Enclosure I) At least it helps prove my
WILLIAM and BARBARY as husband and wife. It also involves them between
Maryland and Ohio, but I still would like to find them being in Maryland
someplace, sometime. These deeds also provide the maiden name for
FRANCES KRIGBAUM ( ARNOLD ) as well as several other names. Do they also
imply the possibility of HENRY, WILLIAM, CONRAD, (jr) being brothers?
Was it possible for someone less than 21 years old to be involved in
land transactions in 1820? If not, then I must have WILLIAM's age wrong
and probably by quite a few years.
Another question that the land transactions bring up is who is the
CONRAD KRIGBAUM with wife PRICILLA? There is reference in the censuses
to CONRAD KRIGBAUM, Jr. and age-wise they are probably one and the same.
Could it be our original CONRAD has a CONRAD, Jr? Or is there another
CONRAD that hasn't been identified?
I have located two CONRAD's in the family of JOHANNES PHILLIP KRICHBAUM
in Pennsylvania. Could one of them have moved south into Maryland and
started our Maryland KRIGBAUM's?
I have made a chart of given names and and ages by generations which
gives a breakdown of possible brothers cousins, etc. It almost looks as
if CONRAD Jr., WILLIAM and HENRY could be brothers. Possibly you might
want to print this in the Heritage to see if anyone would make
contributions to it. However, it is only theory developed from census
records. I also built the record sheet for PETER KRIGBAUM from Census records and
have included it as Enclosure 4. The areas high-lighted are known, the
rest I have arrived at from theory. Wouldn't it be great to locate
someone that could write in some facts on that one. I have not as yet
searched the 1860 census for Alleghany to see if PETER KRIGBAUM
reached the age of 89. Has anyone done this already that you are aware?
I've tried some work sheets on WILLIAM and PETER KRIGBAUM to see
if the facts would present a picture but they seem to be inconclusive.
Anything in red on them is theory.
I've spent a lot of time on family worksheets for the
KREIGHBAUMS - KRICHBAUMS in Pennsylvania and Ohio too.
If I sent you the family worksheets I've built, would you have time to
correct errors and fill in missing information for me? Has anyone done any
investigation of the Lt. Col. CONRAD KRICKBAUM that served in the
Pennslyvania Militia during the War of 1812. I know he died ca 1816.
I sent for his war records from D.C., but it was genealogically
void of information. I would also like to try to follow JOHN KRIGBAUM and his sons. He is the
son of JOHN ADAM KRICHBAUM, grandson of the original brother JOHANNES
ADAM KRICHBAUM. JOHN is the one that The Krigbaum Magazine states
changed the spelling to KRIGBAUM and he also had a son WILLIAM. I'll
include my family group sheet for him in the
hopes you might have some more information for it.
Page 8
[GARY COATS' LETTER - continued ]
Well, perhaps this is enough for this time. If any of this seems logical
enough to put in the next issue of the Krigbaum Heritage, please do so.
I have had some answers back from the following counties regarding a
will for PETER, nothing in Alleghany, Frederick or Washington, so either
he did not leave a will or possibly he finally moved.
Our latest Krigbaum Heritage gave me quite a bit to consider from MAX
SNIFFEN's booklet. Do you think his ADAM in Washington County could really be a son of one
of the original three brothers. Is there any way of checking the
naturalizations of ADAM in 1764 with the possibility that he and CONRAD
were brothers, and both came into Maryland at the same time? Also does
this change my family group sheet where I have the PHILLIP, son of
CONRAD married to CATHARINE JOLLY?

Well enough for this letter. I'm certainly open for any suggestions you
might have for areas for me to research as I seem to have reached
dead-end again. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Editors comment: We really appreciate Gary's work and theory and have
sent him some information recently that may help him. We are printing
the land transactions he has researched but due to room, we are not
using the other sheets he sent at this time.

a researcher. She researched the following records:
.....Index 65-Assessments, Index to Property owners, 1782-83. (Negative)
.....Index 54-Land Office Index to Patentees. (no patents for Peace or better
..........than None, but thought perhaps CONRAD CREEPAUM, 1775, Baltimore
