Biography

Johann Friedrich PFANNEBECKER and his son Johann Weigand PFANNEBECKER (Weiant/Wyant PANNEBECKER) were immigrants from the Bermersheim/Flomborn area, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany circa 1725 settled in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County (originally Philadelphia County), Pennsylvania. They became active members of the New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church. Weigand was born December 14, 1714 in Bermersheim, Germany about 5 km east of Flomborn the long held birthplace of Weigand. His mother was Johann Friedrich's second wife, Agatha SEITZ. (Reference: FHL film # 1442052; for marriages pages 2 , 5, 226, 228 and for Weigand's birth, page 242.) Lotharius PFANNEBECKER - the least known immigrant - came from Flomborn area to Pennsylvania on the ship Edinburg from Rotterdam on Sep 15, 1749, but disappears about 1775 from the records leaving only one daughter, Anna Gertrud PFANNEBECKER POTTLER (b.1736/37-d.1776), as his known progeny. Friedrich and Weiant PANNEBECKER are normally considered the patriarchs of the PENNEBAKERs. They and Heinrich PANNEBECKER are the progenitors of two distinct PANNEBECKER family groups within this country. The descendants of Heinrich/Henry have used many variations of the PANNEBECKER name (other than PENNEBAKER); i.e., PENNYPACKER, PENNYBACKER, PENNYBAKER, etc.
