Johann C. KOLB, Lancaster Co., PA - 1753
Posted by: Gary M. Culp, U.E. Date: September 10, 1998 at 10:44:06
  of 1860

Dear Fellow Kolb /Kulp /Culp Researchers:

Would any Kolb researchers be researching the family(s) of Johann Christian KOLB, who sailed from Europe, aboard the ship “Roland” and set foot at the Port of Philadelphia on September 29, 1753? I am attempting to tie-in some of his family members, to several KOLB/KULP/CULP families, who may have migrated from Pennsylvania to Ontario, following the American Revolution. Any assistance /or dialogue on this family would be greatly appreciated!

QUERY: Was Johann Christian KOLB married or single when he arrived at Philadelphia? If he was married, did the couple have any issue, when they made their voyage to Philadelphia aboard the “Roland”?

From Philadelphia, Johanne Christian (and possibly a young wife and child) headed westward, from Philadelphia, and settled in Lancaster County, PA, where he married (perhaps re-married) in November of 1755, at the Reform Church of Lancaster, to Ann Magdalene DIERSTEIN. (According to several old Lancaster Co. documents, Johann Christian KOLB was also known by several AKA’s, eg “Christopher”, “Christian”, “Stoffel”, etc.).

Johann Christian KOLB died at Rapho Township, Lancaster County, PA in 1774.

Following are the (known) names of the children of Johann Christian and Magdalene KOLB, of Lancaster County, PA: Christian, Barbara, Michael, Henry, John, Peter, Magdalena, Maria and Jacob. (Christian ‘may”(?) have been a son of a former marriage)
[Names were acquired from the Last Will and Testament of Christian (sic) KOLB]

QUERY: Has anyone traced the marriages or any additional information as pertains to the children of the above-noted children of Johann Christian and Magdalene KOLB?? I am particularly interested in acquiring a little info on Christian KOLB - whom I presume was the eldest child of Johann Christian KOLB.

Any thoughts or discussion on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerest Best Regards,
Gary.
