    Notes:

    Bingeman, "The Bingeman family of the United States and Canada are all descendants of Lawrence Bingeman who emigrated from near Geneva, Switzerland, and arrived in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in April, 1780. On May 16th, 1730, he purchased from one named Jacob Reiff 100 acres of land* situated in Lower Salford Township. In a very short time Mr. Bingeman had quite a number of acres cleared and under cultivation and had the first farm buildings erected thereon, the barn of which was covered with tiles instead of shingles. His useful life in the land of the "Free" was destined to be short. We find that in June, 1733, the "Death Summons" called him away from this world of confusion into the world of "Peace and Joy"--the abode of Angels. His neighbors always found him a pure, honest, upright and God-fearing man. We find that his estate was sold by public auction on August 16th, 1733, and the proceeds of such sale handed over to his wife, Anne Margaret, and family. Since he died without a will we have no means of ascertaining the names of all his children. Quite likely there never was more than one child in the family.† All we know of is one son named Hannes who was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in 1731. In 1762 he was married to Veronica Kühler. They resided in Frederick Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where they followed farming until their deaths. To them was born a family of several children whose names were not received. The youngest son of old Hannes Bingeman was"

    Hans Bergey, " a native of Saxony. Germany, emigrated to America shortly after the Mennonites had formed settlements in and around Germantown, Pennsylvania. He was a strict adherent to the Mennonite doctrines. Dates of his birth and death and to whom he was married could not be obtained when the writer was last to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and it is doubtful whether any records are preserved that will give us more information pertaining to this old progenitor. His family consisted of *four sons."

    Notes:

    Jacob Shantz, "was born in Switzerland about the year 1710. Owing to religious persecutions, he, with other, left their native home and went to Holland where they had the promise of protection from the persecuting parties by the Prince of Orange. Here he lived some fifteen years. Seeing so many of his co-religionists emigrating to America, besides being informed of the proclamation issued by William Penn, he at last decided to emigrate to America and settle among his co-religionists. He crossed the ocean in a vessel named "Townshead" and landed safely at Philadelphia in the summer of 1737. He may have resided in Germantown for some time. In the year 1745 we find him and his family located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. What number of children he had could not be ascertained. We know that he was married twice. The children of his first wife were II Isaac, II Esther, and II Susannah, and from his second wife we have the record of only one son named II Christian. Old Jacob Shantz died in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, February 5th, 1781, aged a few months less than 71 years. He was buried in the Sprogell Cemetery, beside Magdalena, his first wife."
