  • Notes 
    • Abram Pannebecker, "was born in Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, September 13th, 1796. On November 16th, 1822, he was married to Sarah Clemens. They resided near Hespeler, on the farm now possessed by William Shaw. When old they left the farm and moved to Hespeler where he died June 30th, 1880, and she died May 24th, 1885. To them was born a family of eleven children"

      "Mr. Abram Pannebecker nearly met with his death in 1836 by the caving in of a well. About 10 a.m. he went into it for the purpose of cleaning it and immediately after going down the well caved in and thus burying him under the stones and rubbish. The alarm was given at once and the neighbors hurried together and commenced to make a speedy effort to rescue the buried man. After six hours diligent work he was rescued from his perilous condition alive, contrary to the expectation of his family, friends and neighbors, with only his nose broken and some slight bodily bruises. The well was seventeen feet deep."
