Research Notes

He is included among the "Emigrants from Weierhof" in Rhineland Emigrants, Lists of German Settlers in Colonial America, edited by Don Yoder, as follows:

"EMIGRANTS FROM WEIERHOF1

...

13. A property transfer of Anna, widow of Michel Grebühl of Weierhof, dated October 25, 1752, names among her sons a Jakob Krehbühl as being in Pennsylvania. He is possibly the Jakob Crebil who landed at Phladelphia on the Ship Mortonhouse, August 17, 1729 (Strassburger-Hinke, List 9 A-C). Additional material has been published on him in the Nordpfalzer Geschichtsverein, XXXIV (1954)."

1 Weierhof, near Kircheim-Bolanden, is an important Palatine Mennonite center. Originally a monastery estate, it was given in hereditary lease in 1682 to Peter Crayenbühl (Krehbiel) under the elector of the Palatinate. According to the lease the lessee and his family were granted the privilege of holding Mennonite worship within the family, but without the right to establish a congregation. In 1706 the area came under the jurisdiction of Nassau-Weilburg and the congregation, which drew together Mennonites from the villages and estates of the area, took on formal character at that time. For the history of the settlement, see Christian G. Neff, "Weierhof," in The Mennonite Encyclopedia, IV, 911-93. For a brief history of the Krehbiel (Graybill) family, originally from Grosshochstetten in Canton Bern, Switzerland, see The Mennonite Encyclopedia, III, 235-348. ---- EDITOR." ^[1]
