JOHANN CARL
FRIEDRICH IBACH OF PENNSYLVANIA A
FAMILY HISTORY
FORWARD This history is what is known
about the ancestors and descendants of Johann Carl (Charles) Friedrich
Ibach (2 Aug 1760 – ?) who, along with his family and two of his brothers
and their families, came to America from the Remscheid, West Phaten
(Herzogthum Berg) area of Germany in 1795 and settled in the Birdsboro
Pennsylvania area. There are several spellings of
the Ibach surname that have either originated in Germany or have evolved
since the Ibachs first came to America; i.e., IBACH, EBACH, YBACH, EYBACH,
EIBACH, UBACH, EBAUGH, IBAUGH, and EBOCH. One family line of Johann Carl Friedrich
Ibach retained the spelling of "Ibaugh" which is used in this
history for that family line. In addition, there are several
variations in the spelling of some German given names as well as their
English equivalents. The spellings
used in this family history are those that seemed to be in use at the time
the individuals lived or, in some cases, more than one version is used
parenthetically for clarity. The most
notable variations are: Lutter
Lothar Luther Johann
Johannes John Friedrich Fredrick Frederick Karl Charles Carl Wilhelm William Catharina Catherina Catherine Christina Christine
Therisia Theresa Franziska Fransica Friederica Fredrika This history was compiled by
gathering existing written and verbal information from living Ibach
descendants, adding my own research, and consolidating all information. Accordingly, acknowledgement and gratitude
are extended to the following individuals who contributed significantly in
making this family history possible: Oren Albert
Angstadt Robert Bruce Ibach Betty (Ibach) Reinhard Charles Richard Ibach Reverend and Mrs. Douglas Theodore Ibach Sr. James Edward Ibaugh In this history, all Ibach/Ibaugh
names are numbered successively according to their dates of birth within
their families. A name in blue
is listed on the page where the individual first appears in the history, and
indicates that the individual is a male Ibach/Ibaugh who had at least one
child who continues the Ibach/Ibaugh name into the next generation. The name in blue is repeated on a
succeeding page in the next generation, where his children are listed and
additional information on the individual is provided. A name in black identifies a wife
of an Ibach/Ibaugh, a male or female Ibach/Ibaugh who had no known children,
or a female Ibach/Ibaugh who married and her descendents carried the name of
her husband. In the latter case, the
husband and descendents with surnames other than Ibach/Ibaugh are also listed
in black. In addition, for
purposes of individual privacy, all individuals who are known to still be
living are listed as "(Living)" with no additional
information provided about them (whether or not they have descendants). In addition to the information
contained in this family history, where appropriate, I have available, upon
request, the following information: (1) History for the living descendants of
Johann Carl Friedrich Ibach that are shown in this family history, as well as
for an additional generation of living descendants not shown in this history. (2) A pedigree of the Johann Carl Friedrich
Ibach family as well as several family lines of the two brothers of Johann
Carl Friedrich who came to America with him; i.e., Friedrich Wilhelm Ibach
(4 Nov 1746 - 10 Oct 1814) and Johann Ibach (19 Feb 1753 - ?). A family line with the surname (Eboch) is
contained in this pedigree. Requests for information will
be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Requests should indicate any known or suspected relationship to the
Remsheid Ibachs and the purpose for which the information is requested. I will be pleased to assist anyone in
determining whether they are connected to any of the Ibach/Ibaugh/Eboch
family lines based on the information I have available to me. Requests can be sent to me at the email
address shown below. Errors and omissions in a work
of this size are inevitable.
Additions and changes to this family history are welcomed and can be
provided to me by email. Richard Henry Buss |
