Germany to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri

My grandparents Lillie PROUGH 1891-1982 LaGrange County to Noble County to Whitley County, Indiana and Jesse ZEIGLER 1886-1977 of Whitley County, Indiana. They are in this large crowd on the right hand side at the 1913 Winona Lake Church of the Brethren Annual Meeting.

Lillie's parents Franklin PROUGH 1864-1891 LaGrange County, Indiana and Cora ZUMBRUN 1872-1927 Noble and Whitley Counties, Indiana.

Franklin's parents were Peter PROUGH 1808-about 1894 Fairfield County, Ohio to LaGrange County, Indiana to Missouri and Barbara Thurston 1821-about 1905 Wayne County, New York to LaGrange County, Indiana to Oklahoma. Thought to have died in 1905 in Oklahoma but cannot be found in the 1900 census with any of their children. Peter is thought to have died in 1894 on the way to Missouri and was buried along the railroad tracks which they were following. They were last documented in 1893 LaGrange County, Indiana.

Peter's LaGrange County, Indiana deed March 16, 1832 with President Andrew Jackson.
Their son Daniel PROUGH was a Church of the Brethren Minister in Prairie View, Kansas.

Peter's parents were George PROUGH 1781-1808 Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania to Fairfield County, Ohio and Sarah WINDER 1789-1860 Washington County, Maryland to Fairfield County, Ohio. Sarah remarried Nicholas SIDENER. Son Peter immigrated to Indiana with a couple of his SIDENER half-brothers.

George's parents were Johann Peter BRACH 1757-after 1830 Berks and Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania to Fairfield County, Ohio and Elisabeth BREININGER probably Pennsylvania to 1823 Fairfield County, Ohio.

Peter's parents were Johann Casparus PRACH 1704-1782(85) Loetzbeuren, Germany to Berks County, Pennsylvania and Sophia LAUTER 1719-about 1780 Oberdiebach, Germany to Berks County, Pennsylvania. Immigrated on Ship Patience and Margaret from Rotterdam, the Netherlands October 25, 1748 by way of Leith in Scotland. Often mentioned in Zion Red Church Brunswick Township records. Casparus is a proven Revolutionary War Patriot having paid the Federal Supply Tax in 1779 Berks County, Pennsylvania.

There are at least four more generations of BRACH's found in Germany.
