Biography

Johann Herman Weber was the son of Jacob Weber (abt.1678-1753) and his wife Anna Elizabeth.

The website Minerd.com includes the following passage about him:

Johann “Herman" Weber was born 14 September 1708 on board the Ship Globe, probably while waiting to embark from England to the New York Colonies. He was about fifteen years of age when his parents settled in Amity Township, Philadelphia/Berks County. He may be the Herman Weber whose daughters, Anna Christina and Maria Katarina were baptised in 1751 and 1754, respectively, and a son (no name) in 1760 in the Berne (Township) Reformed Church, Berks County.

He was possibly the “Harmon” Weber who died by 14 May 1774 in Berne Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania when his will (written in German) was filed for probate. He was survived by wife Catharine and son Matthias, age fourteen, who was to inherit his farm of 290 acres when he reached the age of 21. Harmon left 100 Pounds to each of his five daughters: Elisabeth (wife of George? Keiber), Catharina (wife of ___ Gristmer), Maria Elisabeth (wife of ___ Bassler), Christina, (wife of ___ Kunkel) and Anna Mary Weber. ^[1]

See Kocherthal baptism record Sept. 14 1708 for Johan Hermann, #1 in Olde Ulster transcription, onboard ‘The Globe’ (‘Globus’) listing parents as Jacob and Anna Elisabetha Weber. Witnesses were Hermann Schünemann the clerk and Johan Roth constable (3, 54). Kocherthal's journal entry (translated) reads as follows: "In the year 1708, on board the ship GLOBE, the following were baptized by me: Sept. 14th: Johann Hermann, child of Jacob and Anna Elizabeth WEBER; sponsors: W. Harmannus SCHUENEMANN, clerk on board the ship, and Johann ROTH constable on board the ship." ^[2]
