PARENTS: From Jacob's son Yost bapt record we know Jacob's father is Yost Runckle because Yost Runckle the grandfather was the sponsor. 1749 HENRICH JACOB RUNCKEL BORN AT TRAPPE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA: Henrich Jacob Runckel was born Feb 28, 1749 at Trappe, Montgomery County, PA and christened in Augustus Church. The Jeremias Runkle family was also associated with this church. ---From June Grove, Jan 2006. BIRTH BEF 1755: If we say the Jacob Runkle in Libertytown, Frederick County, MD for the 1800 Cen is "our" Jacob Runkel then the 1800 cen says he is over 45. Thus Jacob Runckles birth would be BEF 1755. BIRTH RESEARCH: There is another Jacob Runkle, this one the son of Nicolas Runkle who was bapt 1750 (also listed as bapt 12 Apr 1749) in Trappe, Montgomery County, PA per familysearch.org.

Biddle or Bittle or Büttel Family Eva Barbara Büttel and Henrich Jacob Runckel Family by Jana Stokes Ask questions and share what you know on the Biddle Bittle Büttel Facebook Group Text or main content of this page. BIRTH OF EVA BARBARA Eva Barbara Büttel was baptised 7 Mar 1750 in the Evangelical Church in Urphar, Mosbach, Baden, Germany. She was the daughter of Joh. Georg Büttel and Barbara Sell. The sponsor was Eva, Joh. Peter Klein daughter. BIRTH OF HENRICH JACOB RUNCKLES We know Jacob Runkels was born before 1755. And have reasonable evidence to say he was born before 1749. We know Jacob Runckle's father was named Yost. In 1763 his father, Yost Runkles, along with Daniel Cover, Daneul Zachrias, Vallentin Maurrer and Benedict Schwob were in a meeting with Pastor Jacob Lischy and were witnesses to the constitution of the Pipe Creek Reformed Congregation, Westminster, Maryland. Westminster was originally in Frederick County, Maryland. Several of the Bittle and Kober families owned land that sat on the Frederick/Baltimore County, Maryland border. CHILDHOOD OF EVA BARBARA In 1752 Eva Barbara Büttel emmigrated from Ufar in what is the old "County of Wertheim", but is now Urphar, Mosbach, Baden, Germany. The departed Rotterdam on the ship Phoenix and arrived in Philadelphia. Her family eventually settled in Lynn Twp, Northampton County, Pennsylvania and in Weisenberg. This is the Allemangel area of Pennsylvania. Abt 1767 her family moved to the Westminster, Maryland area. Her father's will says he was of Germany Township, York County, Pennsylvania, but her brother, Andreas, owned land in Westminster that was partially in Frederick County and partially in Baltimore County, Maryland. Today this is part of Carroll County, Maryland. MARRIAGE In 1770 Jacob Runkle was a witness to Daniel Zacharias will. Assuming this is "our" Jacob Runkle and not an Uncle then we might suppose that Jacob Runkel was born before 1749. Jacob Runkle and Eva Barbara Bittle were married about 1772 and probably in the Westminster, Maryland area. This includes the possibilty of that they were married in Germany Township, York County, Pennsylvania or Baltimore County, Maryland. Eva Barbara, or Eva as she was referred to was a strong Evangelical Lutheran, but her husband, Jacob Runkel was Reformed. CHILDREN Jost, son of Jacob and Eva Runckel, b. 15 Nov 1773, bp. [not given].

From census records it appears that there was another boy and then 2 more girls, all born after John Jacob. LIBERTYTOWN, FREDERICK COUNTY, MARYLAND 1800 CENSUS: There is a Jacob Runkles with 2 ag 10-16 males, 1 over 45 male, 1 under 10 female, 2 ag 16-26 females, and 1 over 45 female in the Liberty Town District #7, Frederick County, MD 1800 Census.
