HAPPY HOLIDAYS

A MESSAGE FROM CAROL:
Holiday Greetings from Quincy, IL.
We would like to have sent each of you a holiday greeting but will do it this way instead.
If the year 1982 is as good for "The Kriegbaum Heritage" as 1981, our membership will go way up. We added 26 new memberships during the year. We sent individual notes along with the membership cards and personally answered the letters received. If a name is sent us for possible membership, we send 1 complimentary copy of our newsletter. We sent several gift memberships from our members to other members of their family. We received a lot of good information from members, a number of family sheets were returned to us (although in this area, we still have a long way to go in order to have a sheet for each member and their ancestors in our files), we read a lot of census records, researched other material available, etc. (but due to the budget cuts made by the president, we will no longer be able to get census records sent in to our library) so will be hampered by this in the future. Altogether, Isabel, Kay and I feel 1981 HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD YEAR. We thank each of you for your contribution.
AREA REUNION
Plans are in the making for ONE of our area reunions to be held in TOPEKA KANSAS the weekend of JULY 4, 1982. You will have received a letter from Isabel Malone to this effect by now and we URGE YOU NOW to make plans to attend this reunion if you can do so. The reunion will still be held in Center, MO Labor Day Weekend and plans are being made to also hold one in Ohio in the summer of 1982 also.
We are doing this so that perhaps the greater part of our members will be able to attend a reunion somewhere. More details will be printed in the April 1982 issue.
If you feel you can make it to Topeka, please let Isabel know as she has a lot of planning to do and would be glad of some help.
DO PLAN NOW TO ATTEND AT LEAST ONE OF OUR REUNIONS
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HERALDRY
Isabella M. Malone
Most of us have been curious about Heraldry and have often wondered how it got started. What does it stand for and what are all the peculiar markings on the Shield, or Coat of Arms.
Heraldry derives its name from the official, or herald, who in olden times made royal proclamations. He also was charged with bearing messages of state between sovereigns. In addition, it was he who formerly made proclamations and conveyed challenges at tournaments. In order to carry on these duties, it was necessary to be able to recognize the men by the markings on their shields and pennons, the latter being the long narrow streamer or banner carried on his lance.
Probably you all remember the tales of the brave warriors going into battle on their trusty steeds, their spears carried in the right hand and their shields on their left arm to fend off the spears of the enemy. The embellishments on the shields were intended to be marks of identity.
We have long passed the time when such heraldic identities are necessary. But they have survived in national, state, county and city as well as our colleges, schools and society.
The dictionary defines Heraldry as "The profession of devising, granting and blazoning arms, of tracing pedigrees, and of ruling on questions of precedence, as exercised by an officer of arms..."
It is the pursuit of pedigree in which we are mostly interested. Each family had its own coat-of-arms and when it was passed on to sons, some addition was made but keeping the original emblem so that it was and is recognized as that of a certain family. Quite often in tracing our ancestors, we are able to use the heraldic bearings of certain families bearing the same name.
In the United States we do not have a College of Arms to regulate our heraldic insignia as is done in some foreign countries such as the British Isles. In England, Ireland and Scotland families have their coats of arms. Doctor Edward MacLysaught, formerly Chief Herald of Ireland, has written books on the families of Ireland and has shown the heraldic insignia for each. He also gives the blazons for arms depicted on ensuing pages.
Doctor MacLysaught further mentions that there is much interest in the subject of Irish families but that the popular books usually consulted and regarded as authoritative, are in fact unreliable, particularly in America.
It should also be noted that it is incorrect to speak of coats of arms as "crests." Again, Doctor MacLysaught states that many of the oldest armorial bearings have no crests.
Because of our closer relationship to the members of the British Isles than to most other countries, we seem to have more information with regard to their heraldic histories than and non-authentic.
We shall have more to tell you about the origins of armorial bearings in a future issue.

MESSAGE FROM KAY:
In our October issue of "The Kriegbaum Heritage," I did a work-up on MICHAEL CREEKBAUM, son of CONRAD & ANNA MARIA KRIGBAUM of Frederick & Allegany Counties Maryland. Please refer back to pages 3 & 4 of that issue while reading the following report.

I believe that MICHAEL married a second time an ELIZABETH DAVIS in Greenup County, KY. In the 1850 census Index of Warren County Indiana, Pine Township, Page 055, there is an ELISABETH CREEPANN listed. There is no MICHAEL listed. Could MICHAEL have died by now and this ELISABETH of Warren Co. IN. be his wife? If anyone out there has read these census records please send it to us. I went to the library last week to order several census records and was told the following. As of Dec. 1 1981 the National Archives would no longer honor requests for census records because of the Budget Cuts.
PLEASE HELP US IF YOU CAN.......
ABREY JEAN CREEKBAUM, JOE HOWARD CREEKBAUM, RHUBEN CREEKBAUM –
take note of the following. Believe old MICHAEL is your ancestor.
Mrs. MALONE received a letter from JOE HOWARD CREEKBAUM dated July 18, 1980. In the letter JOE stated that his father was WILLIE CREEKBAUM and that he had 2 brothers, the eldest was GEORGE CREEKBAUM and the youngest was ROY CREEKBAUM. GEORGE CREEKBAUM had 3 boys -- 3 girls still living. WILLIE CREEKBAUM also had 3 boys and 3 girls still living and ROY CREEKBAUM had 2 boys and 2 girls living. He refers to Uncle GEORGE CREEKBAUM being buried in Eufaulo, Oklahoma next to grandpa. His father WILLIE CREEKBAUM buried at old Mellette Cemetery. Uncle ROY CREEKBAUM buried in Merced, California. His father WILLIE CREEKBAUM died in the Veterans Hospital in Muskoggie, OK.
JOE tells that his grandfather was THOMAS JEFFERSON CREEKBAUM who was 5' 11" tall, had blue eyes. He was born 28 August 1862 or 1865. He married LAURA BELL RUSK, 15 May 1890 in Howard Co., IN, which is right next to Cass Co., IN. Howard County was formed out of Cass County. JEFFERSON CREEKPOND listed in 1850 Cass Co., IN. census (Page 4 Kriegbaum Heritage, October 81 issue) THOMAS JEFFERSON's father was HUGH CREEKBAUM born 7 Mar. 1833 Clinton Twp., Cass Co., IN. He died 26 June 1865 Chattanooga, Tenn. in an army field hospital. He married MARY CATHERINE LAYTON.

This is all we can print on MICHAEL CREEKBAUM at this time. This man is slowly falling into place. We have been looking for this man for 8 years but thanks to JOE HOWARD, ABREY JEAN & RHEUBEN CREEKBAUM, we believe that we have made a great break through.

If, for some reason, you are unable to transmit the umlaut vowels (vowels with two dots above), you can transliterate umlaut vowels by typing the dominant vowel and an "e" following it (ä = ae; ö = oe; ü = ue; Ö = Oe; and Ü = Ue). In the case of the German letter "esset" (which looks like a distorted "B," if you cannot reproduce it, simply replace it with "ss."

Kriechbaumhof bald new?
Nur noch entwässerungstechnische Überprüfung/ Probleme mit Baugrenzüberschreitung
Die Stadt ist entschlossen, den Kriechbaumhof bald wieder aufzubauen. Wie Bürgermeister Dr. Winfried Zehetmier auf einem Antrag der Bürgerversarnmlung des 14. Stadbezirks mitteilen konnte, soll das historische Gebäude auf einer im Sanierungsblock 15 in Haidhausen vorgesehenen Fläche Ecke Wolfgang- und Preysingstraße wieder aufgebaut werden. Probleme ergeben sich allerdings mit der Baugrenze. Die im Bebaungsplan rechtsverbindlich festgelegte Baugrenze muß beim Wiederaufbau überschritten werden.
Geprüft wird zur Zeit deshalb, ob bei emer nur geringfügigen Überschreitung der Baulinie eine Befreiung ist oder ob eine Anderung des Bebauungsplans notwendig wird. Ein Problem ist auch der Brandschutz für den ganz aus Holz bestehenden Kriechhaumhof. Mit Rücksicht auf den geringen Abstand zu den Herbergen an der Wolfganstraße müssen die brandschutztechnischen Belange genauestens beachtet werden.
Der Kriechbaumhof stand bis vor wenigen Monaten als älteste Münchner "Herberge" verborghen in einein Haidhauser Hinterhof an der Wolfgang-/Jugendstraße. Es handelt sich dabei urn einen Blockbau aus der 2. Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts, der an jene "Pendler" erinnert, die ohne Bürgerrecht keine Bleibe in München bekamen und deshalb ihr Quartier in den dörfIichen, Vororten aufschlugen.
Das typengeschichtliche höchst bemerkenswerte Baudenkmal, in dern ländliche Siedlungsmerkmale au£ vorstädtische Wohnbedürfnisse angewendet wurden, war durch die Ausbreitung der Großstadt in die oben beschriebene Hinterhofsituation zwishen gründerzeitlichen Mietshäusern gedrängt worden, und zudem durch. Brandschaden und zuletzt jahrelanges Leerstehen infolge Unbewohnbarkeit und Baufälligkeit in seiner Existenz akut gefährdet. Das Bauwerk mußte daher von einer fachkundigen Firma sorgfältig abgebaut werden; die einzelnen Bestandteile wurden numeriert und vorläufig im städtischen Bauhof gelagert.
Der sogenannte Hof, ursprünglich ein Vierfamlienhaus, soll jetzt im Rahmen der städischen Sanierungs- maßnahmen wiederaufgebaut und verstzt werden. Unter Verwendung der alten Teile soIl er in nächster Umgebung aufgestellt werden, da für den Denkmalwert dieses alten Hauses der Bezug zurn historischen Standort wesentlich ist.
Saniert wird auch das Übelacker- Häust in Haidhausen. Die ehemalige Herberge wird nach ihrer Restaurierung als Wohnung dienen. Ein entsprechender Bauantrag wurde vom

DER KRIECHBAUMHOF soll bald in Haidhausen wieder in neuem Glanz erstehen. (Rekonstruktion: Karl Göbel In "Denkmalpflege", Informationen des Bayerischen Landesamts für Denkmalpflege)
Kommunalrefernt bereits an die Lokalbaukommission gestellt. Die Baugenehmigung hängt nur noch von der entwässerungstechnischen Überprüfung ab.

LABOR DAY, 1981
Dear Carol:
So your REUNION was yesterday! I tooled up to Cleveland yesterday to visit my wife, MARY's, parents and to see my sister, HAZEL, to discuss the projected K-baum Ohio meeting. HAZEL lives only minutes from MARY's
folks.
My apologies for not having sooner responded to your letter of six weeks ago. In August, there were two family reunions at which I could meet HAZEL to discuss the K-baum affair. The National PONTIUS Ass'n meets every three years and has a director's meeting in Columbus the intervening years. HAZEL is a director. We have two kids in Columbus, so I arranged to time a visit with the meeting. But NO TIME to talk to HAZEL The Aubles meet about 8O miles north of here every year. HAZEL usually goes, but I never have. This year I made it, mostly to get a few minutes to talk to her about the K-baums. Again, NO TIME! So to see her, it had to be yesterday, and imagine my surprise to learn so was your REUNiON! Hope you all had a great time!
In June, we were in central Pennsylvania for an SAR meeting. There was a beautiful clear day and we decided to seek out the KRICKBAUM covered bridge and photograph it. Amid the triangle of Danville - Bloomsburg - Elysburg, this place is really back in the boondocks! It took hours of tracking and back tracking the backwoods to find it. I tore up a pair of knit slacks stumbling along the creek side through the brambles getting photographic angles on the bridge. MARY read something, which I can't find, that the miller lived by the mill and the mill was at the bridge. His name: KRICKBAUM! Of the nearby two houses, one up on the hillside was an ancient red brick beautifully proportioned colonial now in a shambles, though in use. I photographed it, figuring it to be miller KRICKBAUM's home. Shutters dangling or gone, tires in the yard, no paint in the 20th century augers for a sad story of neglect. The pictures were in the camera when I got your letter and I waited until the roll was used, before writing you. You guessed right! The film was NO GOOD!
In any case, I'm enclosing a print of a pencil drawing of the KRICKBAUM COVERED BRIDGE, for the HERITAGE ARCHIVES. You could Xerox and reproduce it in some future issue, if you'd like. I bought it in a state operated tourist information center, on the Interstate, near Bloomsburg, just north of the covered bridge country.
Philadelphia research, yes, that's where I was when I came up with the Valley Forge - Conshohocken - Mill Creek, etc. about which I partially wrote in February. Later in February, I was at the home of a daughter who lives on a farm in Chester County, near Valley Forge, where we lived on the edge of the park for fourteen years. I called the librarian of the Radnor Library, a Mrs. Cummin. As soon as I mentioned "KRICHBAUM", she instantly responded, "Oh, you mean PHILIP KRICKBAUM, who married SUSANNAH TRAXLER ( TREXLER ) in 1791, and BARBARA KRICKBAUM, who married SAMUEL POWELL and they lived on the William Thomas property on County Line Road?" I had to grab the table to keep from falling on the floor. She was at home but agreed to open the library. We met there and she showed me a map on the wall and where the William Thomas property is shown, as of 1776. The map is according to her research & was printed as a part of the Bicentennial Celebration. I bought the map for $3. I was too cheap to buy one for you, as I thought I'd Xerox it. Of course it wouldn't fit the machine and I spent $4 trying to Xerox the $3 map! The patchwork is enclosed, with the Wm. Thomas property in color.
Incidentally, the Oct 198O HERITAGE has SUSANNA TREXLER's and PHILIP's seven [7] children christened at St. John's Lutheran Church, Catawissa Twp., Columbia County, PA. That's tight up to the KRICKBAUM COVERED BRIDGE!
Page 8
Page 2 of letter: Traster to Carol Krigbaum
Mrs. Cummin wrote me in March, and I'm enclosing copies I made of her letter. We also went over to Norristown to the Montgomery County Hist'l Ass'n Library. Again, I was too cheap to pay 25c per copy for Xeroxing, so I joined the Society for $11 so I could Xerox the enclosed "KRICKBAUM FAMILY" for 1Oc a copy. The librarians had these sheets out in five minutes!
I don't have second copies of these sheets and so will obtain them for you prior to this mailing. I'll be surprised if you don't already have this stuff. lf you don't perhaps some of the PHILIP KRICKBAUM mystery, along with CONRAD, will be solved. The flow of PHILIP'S and CONRAD'S through this part of the family convinces me that they are all related closely.
Ohio Meeting. You were kind enough to include Pennsylvania, but in western PA (this side of the Alleghenies), I don't think you'll find enough K-baums to merit an organization at this time. At the Auble Reunion, someone mentioned KRICHBAUM, resulting in my calling a 74 year old gentleman, whose father was killed in an accident when he was a baby. He knew nothing of his father's family and never met a relative on that side. He had no interest in where the KRICHBAUM'S came from and he was the end of his line. His name: LLOYD.
The Pontius Ass'n is having their big tri-annual meeting at North Canton next August. They know of a good place and HAZEL says she thinks the North Canton Historical Library can put together an exhibit. The KRICHBAUM'S are equally thick in these parts. HAZEL & I are twice descended from the Revolutionary ancestor, WILLIAM, who led the wagon train across the mountains from Union County, PA., in 1813.

Nancy Peche writes:
WILLIAM KRIEGBAUM & MARIA CATHARINE GARMAN lived in Miles Twp., Centre County, Pennsylvania from ca 1802 to 1813. I found William Kreighbaum listed in the following book:
History of Centre and Clinton Counties, PA 1883 By John Blair Linn - Considered by many to be the definitive work on the early history of Centre County, Pa with the remaining third of the book covering Clinton County, Pa.
“p. 206: KREIGHBAUM, William, migrated into Brush valley about the year 1799, and bought in that year the place now owned by Joseph Kreamer. His dwelling-house stood a few rods of the place where the brick house in situated. He came from Bethel township, Dauphin County, according to statement in an old deed. There was a distillery near his dwelling-house, with which he was assessed as early as the year 1803. It may have been built earlier. He sold his property to Jacob Kreamer, April 21, 1814, and moved to Ohio. The KREIGBAUMS and GARMANS were related.
p. 41: William KRIEGBAUM is listed as an inhabitant of Haines Township (newly formed) in 1801.”
(Nancy writes: Since he is not in the separate list for "Single Men" it can be assumed William was already married.) On the same page under Miles township, also 1801, there is a Wm. Kreigbaum (distillery) listed as an inhabitant. (Note: from the index of names, one is listed as * WILLIAM * and the other as * WILLIAM, Jr.* p. 361: Listing of early members of the Lutheran and Reformed congregations of Brush valley (date of the first appearance of the name in the church records):
1802: William Kriegbaum, wife Maria Catharine

WILLIAM laid out the North Canton (then New Berlin) cemetery before he was laid in it in 1815. HERITAGE member, Dr. Bill KRICHBAUM practices in North Canton. I knew him from the KREIGHBAUM reunions my grandmother took me to as a child, and from our both attending the same college, Ohio Wesleyan. BILL's father, RAY, was co-author of the KRICHBAUM FAMILY HISTORY of 1918.
At Norristown in the Montgomery County Library, I found a map which I will also Xerox, so you can orient yourself from the Thomas property to Conshohocken. MARY and I drove around this beautiful area, surprisingly secluded, for being on the Philadelphia City Line, locating the KRICKBAUM mill at the confluence of Mill Greek and the Schuykill River. I show it on the map. We drove up the creek a ways, seeing a couple of old stone houses in ruins. The Mill Creek Valley is a historical refuge, with no development allowed. Immediately adjacent, are some of the nation's most affluent suburbs. You will also note on the maps, Matson's Ford Road, and Gulph Road, referred to previously as the domain of the KRICKBAUM'S.
I also had word from Mrs. Cummin that the MAIN LINE TIMES, the suburban newspaper located at Ardmore 19003 PA, sometime back ran a series of the inhabitants and industry, which had to include the KRICKBAUM mill, in Mill Creek at the turn of the 19th century. Sometime when I'm back in those parts, I'll see what I can find on it.
HAZEL has someone in mind to help throw a K-baum party perhaps in Stark, or wherever, in 1982. Of course, I'll be happy to help. Except MARGARET SEEBOLD I see no other Pennsylvania members. MARGARET's husband is about 85 and is still farming 300 acres! I can't cope with that. We've been there and I asked him how much help he had and he said "None". But they are tied down. For them, Mifflinburg would be a two day haul from Stark County.
Those HERITAGES are superb, gals. We who do nothing to help sure appreciate all your efforts! Sorry I didn't get the print of the KRICKBAUM Covered Bridge to you for the Reunion.
Now you've got more work to do, wading through all this!
Cordially,
