Barbara Gerberich

From memorial for Andreas and Barbara Gerberich in Walmer's Church Cemetery:

GERBERICH FAMILY IN AMERICA

Andreas Gerberich arrived at Port of Philadelphia from the Parish of Michelreith, Lower Franconia, Bavaria, October 1, 1754. Settling near his brothers in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, Andreas married Barbara Babb in 1758. They moved here along the Swatara Creek in 1762 when this region was part of Hanover Township, Lancaster County. Lebanon County was organized in 1813. Walmer's Church, founded in 1750, became the family church of Andreas (Andrew) and Barbara. Their immediate descendants are buried within site of this memorial, as are numerous later generations. Andreas is progenitor of the Lebanon County branch of the Gerberich family in America. His brothers Johannes (John) and Peter are progenitors, respectively, of the Dauphin and York County branches of this family. Countless descendants of all three brothers migrated throughout the nation following patterns of settlement from these key counties of The Keystone State.

Barbara (Babb) Gerberich is buried in Walmer's Church Cemetery in Annville, PA, Lebanon County.
