     "In 1673, 'John Browne, mariner, of London,' bought two tracts "Hope" and "Increase" near Round Bay. These tracts, showing the history of their purchase are to be seen in our Record Office, in the name of Richard Warfield and at his request, were so recorded among the restored records after the burning of the State House. As no transfers attended the record, the inference is clear they came into Warfield's possession through his wife, Elinor Browne, the heiress of Captain John Browne, of London."¹

     He married Elizabeth Long who died 12 Dec. 1860, age 81 years. They are buried at Salem Reformed Church, Washington County, Pennsylvania. They had nine children.¹

     David Brumbaugh was born on 17 Mar 1776.¹ He was the son of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh and Mary Elizabeth Angle.¹ David Brumbaugh died on 23 Apr 1842 at age 66.¹
     In 1805 he married Eve Kissecker, born 6 March 1789 and died 22 July 1845. He farmed in Washington County, Maryland, and, in 1827, moved to Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He founded the town of Middleburg, now called State Line, Pennsylvania. He had twelve children.¹

     George Brumbaugh was born on 9 Sep 1783.¹ He was the son of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh and Mary Elizabeth Angle.¹ George Brumbaugh died on 22 May 1837 at age 53.¹
     He married Louisa Gelwicks, born 11 Aug 1778, died 29 March 1840. They lived on East Franklin Street in Hagerstown, Maryland.

     Henry Brumbaugh was born in Mar 1777.¹ He was the son of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh and Mary Elizabeth Angle.¹ Henry Brumbaugh died in 1856.¹
     He married Margaret Rentch, born 25 November 1781. He lived on a farm near Hagerstown, Maryland, and is buried beside his father. They had eight children.¹ Although the dates are different, the Henry Brumbaugh listed by Scharf as died 22 March 1853, age 77, seems to match well with this Henry.²

     Jacob Brumbaugh was born in 1765.¹ He was the son of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh and Mary Elizabeth Angle.¹ Jacob Brumbaugh died in 1816.¹
     He married Catherine Rentch² and they lived one mile north of his father's farm. This Jacob was also very active in land transactions. Although G. M. Brumbaugh gives Jacob's death date as 1816, he also quotes "Book S, p. 165, Hagerstown, Md" as saying that Daniel Schnebly was appointed administrator for Jacob Brumbaugh on 13 Nov 1814 and in 1817 made distribution of his personal estate to his widow and five children.

     Johann Jacob Brumbaugh was born c 1728. He married Mary Elizabeth Angle, daughter of Henry Angle, in 1760.¹ Johann Jacob Brumbaugh died on 10 Apr 1799. He was buried at a cemetery at their home, Washington County, Maryland.
     The Brumbaugh family is well recorded in Genealogy of the Brumbaugh Families, published in 1913 by G. M. Brumbaugh. That book is the source of much of the information used here and should be examined for further details. Several different Brumbaugh lines are recorded in it. The immigrant ancestor of interest here is Johann Jacob Brumbaugh who was born about 1728. He is said to have been an orphan with 50 pounds in his pocket when he arrived at Philadelphia on 31 Aug. 1750 on the ship Nancy.

Jacob BRUMBAUGH, as he is known from subsequent records, became a large landowner. In a 1753 deed he was called a weaver. In 1754, he received a Maryland patent for 100 acres, called Ill Will, in Frederick County. He lived about four miles north of Hagerstown, Maryland, and subsequently had major holdings in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, as well. About 1760 he married Mary Elizabeth Angle, born about 1740, daughter of Henry ANGLE. He had been a Lutheran but joined his wife's church, the German Baptist Brethren. He was a large, strong man with defective hearing. His religion prevented active military service, but he served as a packman under General Braddock during the French and Indian War. J. M. Henry² records that, in the spring of 1755, General Edward Braddock's army passed by Jacob Brumbaugh's home and appears to have pitched camp for the night nearby. George Washington was Braddock's aide on this campaign. "Both Braddock and Washington appear to have spent the night in Bromback's home. General Braddock was so impressed with the skill and ability of his host that a commission was offered Jacob Bromback in the army. This gave him an opportunity to explain the religious beliefs of the Society of Dunkers to the British general and George Washington. ... One record indicated that Jacob Bromback did not accept an officer's commission, but was finally prevailed upon to accompany the supply train and care for the sick and wounded." Braddock was killed on this expedition, but Henry suggests that George Washington again stopped at the Brumbaugh home on the return trip. Some of Jacob's descendants have joined the DAR on the basis of his patriotic service during the Revolutionary War. His name is on the 12 April 1776 list of those who furnished blankets for the use of the "regular forces raised for the defense of the province".³

There were two men named Jacob Brumbaugh listed in the 1790 census of Washington County, Maryland, and the Brumbaugh Genealogy¹ identifies this one as having 1 male 16 or over, 4 males under 16, and 2 females in the family.

Jacob died 10 April 1799. Mary Elizabeth died 28 Nov. 1806. His death date is known from estate settlement records in Bedford County, and both are recorded in a journal kept by their son Henry. They are buried near their home in Washington County, Maryland, which he built about 1756.¹

The Brumbaugh heirs are well documented in the many records resulting from the settlement of the estate. The Brumbaugh Genealogy quotes many of these as well as several made by Jacob Brumbaugh during his lifetime.

On 18 June 1803, Mary Brumbaugh, widow and relict of Jacob Brumbaugh, released her dower right in all property and was to be paid annual payments of 35 pounds by Jacob Brumbaugh, Samuel Ulry, John Brumbaugh, Daniel Brumbaugh, Henry Brumbaugh, David Brumbaugh and George Brumbaugh. (Hagerstown, Maryland, record)

"3d Mon in Feb 1804 Jacob Brumbaugh presents petition stating that Jacob Brumbaugh, father, late of Washington Co., MD, died intestate 10 Apr. 1799, left 7 children 6 above age of 21 and the other George under age and widow Mary --6 are Jacob; Mary, wife of Samuel Ulry; John Brumbach; Daniel Brumbach; Henry Brumbach; and David" This record was filed in Washington Co., MD, and shows further that Samuel Ulrey and Mary his wife were living in Bedford Co., PA, a distance of seventy miles from the inheritance.

The following items are from the Bedford County, Pennsylvania records. On application of Jacob Brumbaugh by his attorney William Reynolds Esq. for the sale of the Real Estate of Jacob Brumbaugh late of the County of Washington in the State of Maryland, deceased, Rule that all the heirs of Jacob Brumbaugh deceased shew cause at the next Orphans Court to be held at Bedford on the first Monday of August next why the Estate of said deceased should not be sold.

Jacob Brumbaugh who being duly affirmed saith that he served the within Rule of Court on John Brumbaugh, Mary, intermarried with Samuel Ulry, Daniel, Henry, David, and George Brumbaugh. Affirmed in open court August 4th 1806.

Bedford County Deed Book G, p. 461, records a deed made 16 March 1807 from "Mary Ulry, late Mary Brumbaugh, and Samuel Ulry her husband, John Brumbaugh of Bedford Co., Jacob Brumbaugh, Daniel Brumbaugh of Washington County, Md." to George and David Brumbaugh for part of a tract called Dolphins Barn. Mary Ulrich signed by mark and Samuel signed in German.

     John Brumbaugh married Mary Elizabeth Miller.² John Brumbaugh was born in 1768.¹ He was the son of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh and Mary Elizabeth Angle.¹ John Brumbaugh died on 20 May 1829.¹
     G. M. Brumbaugh quotes a 1780 deed from Jacob, Sr., to John Brumbaugh who then sold the same tract in 1801. If this identification is valid, John must have been born before 1768. He settled in Morrison's Cove on the headwaters of Yellow Creek, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, soon after 1789. He was a farmer and a minister in the German Baptist Brethren Church. His wife died 5 May 1834 at the age of 62. They had five children.¹ A large stone in the Brethren Cemetery at New Enterprise, Pennsylvania, has been erected to their memory.

     Mary Brumbaugh was buried at Brethren Cemetery, New Enterprise, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. She was born c 1767 at Pennsylvania.¹ She was the daughter of Johann Jacob Brumbaugh and Mary Elizabeth Angle. Mary Brumbaugh married Samuel Ulrich, son of Stephen Ulrich and Elizabeth (?), c 1780. Mary Brumbaugh died c 1829.² Samuel and Mary are probably buried in the Brethren Cemetery at New Enterprise, Bedford County, but their tombstones there are relatively recent. Her stone, flat on the ground, says "Mary Brumbaugh, born 1767, married Elder Samuel Ulery". His is a standing stone and says "Samuel Ulery, died 1822".³
     Mary BRUMBAUGH, daughter of Johann Jacob and Mary Elizabeth (ANGLE) Brumbaugh, is said to have been born in 1767. This date is quoted by G. M. Brumbaugh and is on her tombstone at the Brethren Church in New Enterprise, Pennsylvania. The date fits reasonably well with those given for her brothers and sisters. The wording of her father's estate settlement implies that she was born between Jacob and John. This raises some doubt that she was the mother of the children of Samuel Ulrich, of whom the first was born in 1781. On the other hand, it should be pointed out that no contemporary evidence for her age or birth date has been found, that her tombstone is a relatively new one and that it is possible to confuse 1761 and 1767 written in German numerals. There is also the argument that John Brumbaugh may have been born earlier than 1768. There is no evidence that Samuel Ulrich was married twice and ample evidence that Mary Brumbaugh was his wife as early as 1803 and that he had a wife named Mary in 1785. On 8 Dec. 1825, Mary sold her interest in 407 acres in Morrison’s Cove to George Brumbaugh, her brother.⁴ She was a widow still living in Woodberry Township on 24 Oct. 1828 when she appointed Henry Fluck as attorney to act for her.⁵ On 16 May 1829, letters of administration on the estate of Mary Ulerich were granted to Andrew Biddle. Jacob Brown and Andrew J. Cline, Esq., were sureties.⁶
