I see this is a very old posting but I am going to try anyhow? I have been having one heck of a time figuring out which Harpster line I am from. My descendant that I am stuck on is a Michael Harpster born in PA abt 1816. The first census I have on him is 1840 in Mohican Township, Ashland County, Ohio. He married an Eliza Sigler or Ziegler abt 1838 in Ohio, it is listed that she was also born in PA. Their children were Sarah, Sammuel, Michael, Peter Michael (my descendant)Mary and Reletha J.

I can also tell you that in the area they lived there were only a few Harpster families in the beginning, John Harpster, Fredrick Harpster, George Harpster who married Elizabeth Treece and Jacob Harpster. I believe George Harpster may have been an uncle to our Michael? I recently obtained documents from the Ashland Co. recorders office. I know there is a relationship between George Harpster, Michael Harpster and an Eve Harpster who married an Emsingmer.

Any info you can provide on your line would be appreciated so I can just compare.

Besherert = Besheret Which is a Jewish world basically meaning soulmate. Sounds to me like that endearing term has slipped in as a name somewhere along the way. Herbster and Besherert both showed up in hints for me, so googled the names. Anna is the Paternal Grandmother of my Great Great Great Grandma, Matilda Jane (Jean?) Ritter.

I have records of a marriage to a Mary A. Thomas in 1894. I have wondered if the Amanda M. on the 1910 census with Jeremiah is really Mary A. ?? I have more information. Contact me at peggenealogy@aol.com.

Re: Jeremiah HERBSTER/HARPSTER

herbie1155 — 2009-03-27 00:29:54Z

Thanks, for the posting, All the names are in Jeremiah's Bible how ever Mary A. is listed a daughter and died in Aug. 5 1861 at the age of 1 year 9 months and 26 days. the dates seem a little off. How far back can you go with Jeremiah. Can you trace this back to Germany.
Robert.

Re: Jeremiah HERBSTER/HARPSTER

DMADAMS — 2009-03-26 03:37:26Z

My research shows Jeremiah married to Barbara Oldt (d. 1892), to Mary A. Thomas c. 1894 and in 1900 census. Re 1910 census his wife's name was Amanda.
I show Jeremiah as the son of Anthony. My husband's ancestor is Jacob (17891 - 1864), a brother of Anthony. Jacob's tombstone uses the spelling HARBSTER.

Re: Jeremiah HERBSTER/HARPSTER

herbie1155 — 2009-03-26 00:51:33Z

Jeremiah, was my great grandfather I have his Bible but it is all in German there are some pictures and stuff in there. I will check on the names of his wife etc.

I am a descendant of the Baden-Baden Herbsters who settled in Wesherville Pennsylvania in 1750- I do not know which of the two brothers linegae I am from, Conrad or Michael.

My Great Great grandfather Samuel Kumerer Herbster. My grandfather was Arthur Theoplolis.

I have lineage information from my 1750 to present from my deceased grandmother Cora Alberta(Dolly) as well as a copy of information on Capt. Victor Daniel Herbster from the Navy's Office of Information from 1962

I have inherited the grandfather clock that was Samuel K. Herbster's and has an inscription from him inside.

I can provide a pretty detailed account of these Herbsters thanks to an exceprt from Samuels journal that I have.

I am looking for descendants of Samuel Irwin Herbster who should have the full journal of Samuel Kumerer.

I will post what I know here soon

I can be emailed through my website herbster.net

DDEyer — 2007-02-19 22:12:54Z

Angelina Herbster(1832-1917)was my great-g grandother. She lived in Wessnersville (Stony Run) and married William Snyder (1831-1905). I and some other Lehigh County Herbster family researchers believe Benjamin (born 1815) was her father and her mother Maria "Polly" Kunkle. It is assumed Benjamin and Polly did not marry since he was listed with Lydia age 30 (she would have been 12 when Angelina was born)and four children in the 1850 census. Unfortunately, Angelina was with the Henninger family in Albany Twp in the 1850 census. I assume John G Herbster age 75 in the 1850 census and living in Benjamin's household was Benjamin's father. I have several of the church records from near Wessnersville but they shed no light on these possible relationships. In www.pagstones.com there are four Herbster tombstones from the Emanuel's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Moore Twp, Northampton Co, PA- Martin (died in 1769 age 31), his wife Fronica Armbrust (1728-1773), Catharina Herbster (died 1773) and Elisabetha (died 1769). I will appreciate if you can shed light on a possible Benjamin/Polly Kunkle relationship. We have not found a baptismal record for Angelina.

You might check with the Stark Co. family Jacob F. Herbster had a son Jacob who died 29 Mar 1885 and they could be connected I never checked the census since the elder died in 1825.

LindaWildman — 2006-11-27 16:35:11Z

I'm descended from these Herbster's on my mom's side I think. Jacob was born 8 July 1768 in Baden,Baden,Germany. He married Mary Shollison 7 May 1793 Frederick,Md. He died 19 Feb 1825 Stark Co.They are buried in Paris Twp Cemetary. If these are the right ones My address is Linda Wildman, 7879 N.Twp. Rd 72,Tiffin,Ohio 44883.

I am trying to get my Herbster roots figured out. My G G Grandparents were Fred and Caroline Herbster. As far as I know they had four sons, August, Louis, Friedrick, and William. August is my G grandfather. His son Henry maried Ella Huettner and they had one daughter, Marjorie my mother. August had seven children from his first wife and five from his second wife. I have all the names if you are interested.

My mother is a Herbster. Her parents were Ella and Henry. Henry died young. Henry's brother George lived near Morrill, KS and had sons named Ken and Robert. I believe Ken still lives on the original farmplace. Henry also had sisters named Dora, Emelia, Anna, Lena, and Henrietta.

JohnLewisHerbster — 2005-06-01 00:41:21Z

I am a descendant of the Herbsters settled at Wessnerville (now Stony Run), PA in the 18th c. My g-g-grandfather was Benjamin Herbster (b. 1815, Albany Twp, Berks Cnty, PA - d. Reading, PA). My lineage prior to this Benjamin is unclear. I believe this Benjamin was a son of one John Herbster and Gertrude Kob Seib, married in 1815. One of Benjamin's sons, The Rev. Samuel Kumerer Herbster (b. Mar 28, 1851, Stony Run, PA), would be your g-g-grandfather. I found Rev. Samuel's bio at the Luthern Serminary, Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, alumni site. Perhaps they can help you. Any information you can share about my Benjamin's parents would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am a descendant of a Benjamin Herbster, born 1815, Albany Twp, Berks Cnty, PA, and married to Lydia Zimmerman Kumerer. Benjamin's father may have been a John G(eorge?) Herbster, born Oct 18, 1785, in Albany Twp. John G.'s father may have been a Frederick Herbster, who is listed in the 1790 US Census of Berks Cnty, PA. Can anyone confirm my Benjamin's father and grandfather? Any information about the Herbster family living in the 1700s at Stony Run (Wessnerville), Albany Twp, Berks Cnty, PA will be appreciated.
