"Conrad Brumbaugh settled in Lancaster (?) county, Pa., probably before 1761, as it is believed that all of his large family were born in Pennsylvania, and the youngest of his thirteen children was born in 1788. After a part of his children were born he removed to Morrison's Cove, Bedford county, Pa., but the Indians becoming troublesome he returned to the more thickly settled portions of the state. ... After the Indian troubles ceased, Conrad Brumbaugh returned to [Morrison's Cove] with his family, made a home and lived there for some time. Then removing to Allegheny county, Pa., he made a home for his family there in the wilderness, and became one of the pioneers of that section of the state. ... Mr. Brumbaugh was well educated in Germany, and after reaching this country taught school and became a minister in the German Baptist church, being one of the first ministers of that church in America." (ibid, pp 361-362, quoting a letter written 26 May 1888, by George4 Brumbaugh [E1725] at age 86)

"Conrad Brumbough was assessed for no acres, 2 horses, 4 cattle & no negroes in 1780 (?) in Montgomery Township, County of Cumberland, Pa. (Pa. Archives, 3d Series, Vol. XX, p. 525.) Coonrod Brumbaugh in 1783, Frankstown Twp., Bedford Co., Pa., appeared in the 'Supply Tax' for 300 acres and a tax of £6 s6 d6. (Pa. Archives 3d Series, Vol. XXII, p. 267.) Conrod Brombagh appears on the list of taxable property of Woodberry Twp., Huntingdon Co., Pa., in 1788 for 250 acres, 3 horses, 5 cattle, and a tax of 16s 3d. (Pa. Archives, 3d Series, Vol. XX, p. 344.) ... The 1790 census for Bedford Co., Pa., enumerates Conrod Broombough as having 6 sons under 16, and 4 females." (ibid, p 362)

The book "Descendants of John and Susanna (Ulrich) Deeter" (pg 410) states that Conrad and his wife Catherine Hiser are both buried in Oswego Cemetery, Oswego, Kosciusko County, Indiana, but the headstone is missing. (See also info provided by cemetery memorial}
