Schneider from Rehweiler with Simon. Nicholas Mueller sponsor baptism of Johan Adam Sontag child at Tulpehocken, both of these men being from Pfeffelbach. 1747 Peter Hoffman and Johannes Pontius sponsor each others children at Swatara and Tulpehocken. (NOTE: These items should be sufficient to document and prove a migration from the town of Pfeffelbach and vicinity via the "Glasgow" into the Tulpehocken and Swatara region) 2 Feb 1746 Philip Simon son of Nicholas married Anna Gertrude Schneider "from across the Susquehana" (PA German Marriages by Donna Irish pg 204) (NOTE: This shows possibly another Nicholas Simon in PA. Michael Tepper's "Immigrants to the Middle Colonies" lists among Germans from the Palatinate who came to England in 1709 one Philip Simon with a wife and no children and Nicol Simon age 14 single. Both shown as Reformed. This is likely the same family) 4 Sep 1746 St Michael's and Zion church Philadelphia Jacob Simon a "soldier from Palse Hock" married Catherine Schmidt, daughter of Christian Schmidt in Tulpehocken, married by license of Governor Thomas. Witnesses Christian Schmidt, Peter Schmidt, Sebastian Pasch, Jacob Bortner (NOTE: This does not have to mean that the wedding took place at the church) 26 Oct 1746 John Peter, child of John Nicolaus Simon of Atolhoe baptised.

Parents Jacob Simon and Catherine and the sponsor was Christian Schmidt. 1748 Consistory records of Trinity Reformed Church, now Jackson Tp, Lebanon County (just across Berks County line andin sight of Christ Stouchesburg Church) Tulpehocken shows among 48 names Johan Hedrich, G Huber, J Seubert, Christopher Stump, Jacob Simon (NOTE: if this is Jacob husband of Catherine why was he baptising children at Christ Church?) (NOTE: this Trinity Church is less than 1/4 mile from the Christ (Stouchesburg) Church above, and within sight of it. Kellog's TULPEHOCKEN NOTES will show that this Christ Church served as a meeting place for both the Evangelical and Reformed Congregations. (NOTE: This is the "Reformed" Church on the head of Tulpehocken on the 1723 Homesteads map) 5 Mar 1749 Host Reformed Church, now Tulpehocken Tp, Berks Co PA, on Tulpehocken John Simon baptised, son of N. Simon. The sponsor was John Reichel (NOTE: This Reichel was from Pfeffelbach and this documents N. Simon as an associate of a Pfeffelbach native) 25 Mar 1749 Christ "Tulpehocken" Lutheran Church Stouchesburg, now Marion Tp., Berks County PA, Johann George Simon baptised, parents Jacob and Catherine, sponsor Johan George Moser and Catherine Baseler (NOTE: This will place Jacob and Catherine as in near proximity to Nicholas and Margaret Simon below 3 Mar 1754 as well as Nicholas and Margaret 1750) 4 May 1749 Host Church Johann Nicholas Hoffman, son of Peter Hoffman baptised. The sponsor was Johann Nicholas Simon. (NOTE: This Hoffman as noted above sponsored a baptism for Johannes Pontius and Pontius for him. Hoffman also sponsored a baptism Oct 1746 for Nicholas Simon. This is a connection, although indirect, between Nicholas Simon of PA and the Pontius family who left Pfeffelbach with Nicholas Simon. This with the Reichel sponsorship of the Simon baptism Mar 1749 should be enough to show that the Nicholas Simon from Pfeffelbach was a resident of what is now western Berks Co PA) August 1750 Sebastian Stein of Bethel Tp mortgage to Conrad Weiser of Heidelberg Tp 139 acres adjoining Nicolas Simon, Adam Fisher, Adam Suntag, Martin Shipe, John Sheffer on a Northeast Branch of Swatara (Lancaster Co Deed Book A pg 177) (NOTE: This gives us another connection with Sontag from Pfeffelbach, who left there with Jacob Simon) August 1750 Martin Triester of Bethel Tp morgage to George Tollinger of Tulp.

Son of Joh Michael Simon and Anna Margaret. The sponsor wasMichael Grau. (Note: Joseph Kellog apparently misread this as a son of John NICHOLAS Simon. It seemed unusual that Annette Burgert did not abstract it under Simon in her WESTERN PALATINATE, but PENNSYLVANIA BIRTHS shows the father as John MICHAEL, explaining why Burgert did not list it with Nicholas. A Leonard Grau married Susanna Simon at Cocalico in 1730. Could this be a relative and the namesake of Leonard Simon? Cocalico is in present northern Lancaster County about ten miles southeast of Tulpehocken) Dec 1750 Trinity Reformed Church, Anna Elizabeth, daughter of Jacob Simon baptised. The sponsor was Thomas Koppenheimer. (NOTE: Here is this Jacob at Trinity again as above 1748. Could this be another Jacob, perhaps the one who sponsored the Jacob Weiss baptism at Modden Creek in 1733? Doubtfully. Weiss sponsorship ref Dern and Tracey's "Pioneers of Old Monocacy") 7 Oct 1751 ship " " a Leonard Simon arrive Philadelphia 22 Nov 1751 Elizabetha Catarina Simon sponsor baptism of Frederich Troester child at Swatara. (NOTE: This is probably the Eliz Cath who was born January 1731 at Pfeffelbach Germany to Nicholas and Maria Margaret Simon, and tends to further strengthen the connection between Pfeffelbach and Pennsylvania.) 1753 first Virginia Simon record, Leonard and Nicholas Simon enter land in Augusta County near Henry Hawes. (NOTE: Who is this Leonard and could he have been named for Leonard Grau?) 3 Mar 1754 Trinity "Tulpehocken" Lutheran Church, Stouchesburg, now Marion Tp., Berks County, Johann Michael Simon Baptised, parents Nicholas and Maria Margaret. Sponsor was Michael Spengler (NOTE: Annete Kunselman Burgert in her "Western Palatinate" says that this church is Jackson Tp, Lebanon County Pa, showing it to be the "Reformed" Church on the head of Tulpehocken in the 1723 Homesteads map) ?possible listing? 25 Oct 1755 John Simmons claim for guarding arms Augusta County 1761 South Fork Leonard Simon renting farm from Henry Horse (NOTE: This is the next definite listing in Virginia after the 1753 entry above) 1762 Nicholas Simon patent 145 acres South Fork (Augusta Deed Bk 21 pg 210) 17 Aug 1774 St. John (Swatara) Reformed Church, Jonestown, Lebanon County, PA George and Catherine Hederich son John Adam baptised, sponsors Nicholas and Maria Margaret Simon (NOTE: This proves that the Nicholas from Pfeffelbach stayed in Pennsylvania and is NOT the one in Pendleton County, WV. A connection in Germany is documentable between the family of Pfeffelbach Nicholas and the Hederich family there, and the wife in Germany of Pfeffelbach Nicholas is MARIA Margaret) Ship information

John Jacob Simone

Landed in Philadelphia October 2, 1727, from the ship "Adventure" , John Davies, master, from Rotterdam.

Where did "DeSimone" come from? Some say it's Italian but Italians usually use "di" rather "de." If it's in Italy and it's a dialect thing, what part of Italy?

The earliest records I found are Italian in this spelling from 1735 all from Castellammare di Stabia, Napoli, however Simon which is exactly the same name just with the 'of'( de) dropped is Spanish with records from 1500 which is far more likely to have originated from Spain and then onto Italy and it is in England and what is now Germany in the early 1500sDi and De are exctly the same, it is spelling varient and from exactly the same time so it isn't like De is a development from Di or the other way around....they came originally from Spain...or rather the surname did....not necessarily the people who used the surname....they were very possibly always from the area where Italy is now .......and you are putting too much faith in a surname, if you are researching your ancestry a surname, how it is spelt and where other people with that name live has nothing at all to do with YOUR ancestry as surname origins and meaning, spelling is a completely different subject to genealpogy research....don't get the two mixed up, there is no short cuts to finding ancestors by using a surname originhttp://familytimeline.webs.com/originsofsurnames.htm

Important - Simmons \ Simon Family Statement Posted 20 Mar 2015 by BillieKeaffaber38 http://pages.swcp.com/~dhickman/journals/V4I3/simmon.html Important - Simmons \ Simon Family Statement

ALLEGHENY REGIONAL ANCESTORS, Volume 3, Issue 2, carried an article entitled "The Simmons Quagmire of Pendleton County." The article, written by Jeff Carr, dealt with identifying and documenting the various lines of the Simmons family down to the 1850 census. This research, primarily the work of Jeff Carr, remains valid and a valuable contribution to the Simmons family history.

The article repeats a tradition, however, that Pendleton County Nicholas Simmons was identical with the Hans Nickel Simon born in Pfeffelbach, Germany in 1707, son of Jacob and Agnes Simon. This statement was made only after extensive research in the records of Pfeffelbach to show that such a Nickel Simon existed there. A good deal of reading was done in the records of Pennsylvania to prove that Pfeffelbach Nickel could be placed as a neighbor and associate of other families who moved to Virginia in the 1700s. However, new evidence has surfaced that there may in fact be TWO Nicholas Simons in Pennsylvania, near neighbors to each other, EACH OF WHOM HAD A WIFE NAMED MARGARET. Thus the identification of Nicholas Simmons pf Pendleton County as iidentical with the Nickel Simon from Pfeffelbach can no longer be regarded as proven.

It is clear that Nicholas and Leonard Simmons were on the South Branch by 1753 making claim the land there, as shown in the Augusta County Entry Book 1. The existence of a 1754 record in Pennsylvania in which Pfeffelbach Nicholas baptised a child had been dealt with by a possible scenario in which Nicholas and Leonard Simmons had been in Virginia in 1753 only on a land scouting expedition and had returned to Pennsylvania, Nicholas then being present there in the 1754 baptism.

However, a trip to the Tulpehocken region of Pennsylvania uncoverd a 1774 baptism for a George Hederich child in which Pfeffelbach Nicholas and Maria Margaret Simon were sponsors. Also, recent reading in the Pfeffelbach church record has shown that the Pfeffelbach Nickel Simon and his family were relatives and associates of the Hederich family there. So it now appears possible that Pfeffelbach Nickel Simon can be shown to have STAYED in Pennsylvania.

ARA editor David Armstrong colaborated with Jeff Carr in the German Simmons research and hereby goes on record with him stating that a possibility now exists, based on further evaluation of evidence, that the Hans Nickel Simon born in Pfeffelbach IS NOT identical with Nicholas Simmons of Pendleton County. The further possibility exists that ANOTHER Nicholas was present in the Tulpehocken Region of circa 1751. This Nicholas seems to have had a wife named ANNA Margaret rather than MARIA Margaret, which was Pfeffelbach Nicholas' wife's name. Further research is needed to solidify these identifications.

The authors of the Simmons article ask that all interested readers consider the above and hereby retract any statement, made or implied, that attempts to positively identify Pendleton County Nicholas Simon or any Simon on the South Branch with Pfeffelbach, Germany. They both acknowledge that such an identification in the ARA article may have served to perpetuate a previously published error, and if so accept responsibility. Interested parties are invited to comment and further updates will be forthcoming. Preview not available. Download to view.

Daniel Rupp, Second Revised Edition, 1876, Philadelphia. Was Jacob Simon from Pfeffelbach? Posted 20 Mar 2015 by BillieKeaffaber38 There is a debate about whether our Jacob SImon was form Pfeffelbach. As Lee Simons notes,

"On the church records in Pfeffelbach, "a" Jacob Simon was born in 1710.

There is a record saying "a" Jacob Simon left Pfeffelbach in 1741, which is the same year "a" Jacob Simon, age 21, arrived in Philadelphia (ten years younger than the guy on the church records). Five years later our Jacob enlisted in the King's Army, and he was 26. We know he is ours, because some of the men in his group are witnesses at his wedding a couple of months later in 1746--not 1747.

We think the Schmidt family on the Pennsylvania Merchant in 1731 are Catherine's family.

The Jacob on the church records in Pffelbach did have a brother Nicholas who settled within a mile or two of our Jacob in Tulpehocken. Neither appear to have any dealings with one another."

That is the opposing view. On the favorable view, it is worth noting that the Germans often traveled in groups--families, bands of brothers, groups from the same hometown. And they often lived next door to each other or very close by. It is interesting that Nichol Simon in Germany just happens to have two surviving brothers in Germany and one of them just happens to have the same name as his neighbor in America (though such a coincidence is possible.) Plus, the act that he wasn't Nichol wasn't the godfather of his brother' children does not in itself prove they weren't brothers, though family often served such a role.)

It is to be hoped that either DNA or a database of the German church records will eventually solve the mystery. Notes on Jacob Simon from Pfeffelbach Posted 20 Mar 2015 by BillieKeaffaber38 Indeed I have ancestors Braun in Pfeffelbach, which initially lived in Ruthweiler. All the information about this Braun family I took from the Familybook Lichtenberg/Pfeffelbach which is issued by Rudi Jung. He transcribed a lot of churchbooks of this area. Your information that Jacob Simon was married with Agnes Braun is not according to that what is written in the above mentioned Familybook, but it may be the truth. It is known that Rudi Jung have a lot of imperfections in his Familybooks. No. 1949 married before 1707 Simon, Johannes Jacob, born 16. Apr. 1682 in Berschweiler Son of Simon, Christian (refer to Familybook Baumholder, ref. No. 1494) living (at time of wedding) in Schwarzerden, later in Pfeffelbach died 15. Apr. 1740 Pfeffelbach at an age of 58 years married with ... Agnes born about 1679, died 23. Apr. 1740, widowed, at an age of 61 years

Children: Johann Nickel, born 31. Jul. 1707 Johann Nickel, born 03. Feb. 1709 Johann Jacob, born 16. Mar. 1710 Maria Elisabeth, born 13. Mar. 1710; married 20. Sep. 1738 Simon Daniel Maria Margreth, born 07. Oct. 1714 Johann Albert, born 11. Apr. 1717 Maria Katharina, born 02. Jul. 1719; her mother is named as Margreth Agnes from Pfeffelbach

                                     she married 16. Jun. 1740 Johann Georg Daniel

No. 1950 in the year 1736 does the miller Johann Jacob Simon sell the Reichweiler mill for a sum of 600 Gulden to Johann Nickel Horbach. (This might be the same person as above) I have to point out that the Pfeffelbach Familybook and therefore as well the Pfeffelbach churchbooks seem to be in no good condition. I feel that the churchbooks are incomplete.

Regarding your questions:

1) is there any more information about the previous generations?

No information about Christian Simons family except that the family lived either in Berschweiler or
in Schwarzerden

2) does it seem likely that that Agnes you mention is a Braun or any clue about her last name?

No information regarding the last name of Agnes the wife of Johann Jacob SIMON

3) Do the records seem to indicate he [Johann Jacob, born 16. MAR 1710] moved to America?

No. 1952 is a remark. Initialle I brought the two sentences together as one information but now I think this are two different informations not belonging to persons of the same family. The first is regarding to the family No. 1951: "The above couple (Johann Nickel SIMON and Maria Margaretha and their childs Johann Nickel and Barbara emigrated in 1738 to America." 2nd sentence: "Jacob SIMON of Pfeffelbach, 21 years old, emigrated in 1741 to the USA, he reached Philadelphia the 12. OCT 1741." In the familybook no Jacob Simon born 1720 is to be found. It might to be a reading mistake of Rudi Jung or a writing failure in the source and the notice is related to the 1710 born Johann Jacob SIMON.

• The Zweibrucken Collection office announced in a document dated July 13, 1762 *
  

I feel that this document, more than 20 years after emigration of the above Jacob SIMON, cannot be
brought in any relation to him. But there is an other Johann Jacob SIMON [family No. 1954) born in Bledesbach, Son of Peter SIMON. He was married 23 APR 1748 in Pfeffelbach with Maria Margaretha BRAUN, born 28 MAY 1727 in Pfeffelbach, daughter of the late Johannes BRAUN. Only one son, Johann Adam was baptized the 01 SEP 1748 in Pfeffelbach.

Maybe you can find any other relationship to your forefather. I enclose scans of the relevant pages of the familybook Pfeffelsbach. If you need more assistance, please write.

                        Albany, October ye 21st, 1746

Sir:--I have made bold to draw a Bill on your Honour in favour of Cornelius

Cuyler, Esquire, late Mayor of the City of Albany, for Twenty-four pounds

sixteen shillings, bearing date the 21st of this Instant October, which is for

Blanketts Mr. Cuyler supplyed me with for the use of the Company under my

Command, which hope that your Honour will be so good as to pay, considering the

circumstances we were in, we had received orders to march, the weather very

cold, and nothing to cover the men, the consequences of which must have been

the desertion of the whole Company. We have loss from the 4 Companys, since our

arrival at Albany, between 60 and 70 men; 30 odd from Capt. Shannon, Twenty odd

from Capt. Deimer & Perry, & one from myself, and the only reason they give for

deserting is the want of Covering; they say they had better perish by trying to

make their escape, where a few days will determine their fate than to stay

where they are, where they are sure of perishing miserably, which has been the

case of one of Capt. Shannon's men, who in crossing the mountains, trying to

make his escape, where the snow was knee deep, one of them go frost bit, and

his Companions fearing to undergo the same fate, left him, where he miserably

perished. Sir, I have drawn another Bill on you in favour of Mr. James

Stevinson, Merchant in Albany, baring the same date, which is for the remaining

part of my Blanketts for Fifty-one pounds four shillings, & Capt. Perry desired

moe to acquaint your Honour that he has drawn on you for his Blanketts in

favour of of Mr. Derick Tenbrooke, present Mayor of Albany, for 64 pounds, & in

favour of Mr. John Schyler for 10 pounds 8/0. Our march is put off till the

arrival of Coll. Roberts from New York, who set out for there the day before

yesterday, and is to be back in a few days. Mr. Cuyler, the late Mayor, desires

me to give his humble service to your Honour, and acquaint you that he'll supply

the 4 Penn'a Companys with Bread, if you intend to send them any more, & the

hardness of the weather should prevent its coming, providing you'll let him

know in time. I conclude with due submission from the rest of the Officers as

well as from,

                        Sir, Your honor's most obedient

                        Humble servant.

The officers at Albany to Gov. Thomas
Albany, the 12th November, 1746

Hon'd Sir:--It's with great reluctance that we trouble yor Honour but as our

duty and the good of our country requires it we must make bold to lay before

your Honour our Circumstances. We have been making as neer a calculation as

possible of our provisions & find, with the utmost frugality, we have not more

meat than sufficient to serve till the 19th January, & as to our Bread & Rum,

it falls far short of that time. We are under necessity of making application

to your Honour, hoping that your Honour will take it into Consideration, as it

will be just in the Dead Winter when our provisions will be expended, & if we

han't more provoded directly it will be impossible for us to keep our men

together, as well as to send the Provisions up after the River is froze. We

leave it to your Honour, not doubting of success, from the great Zeal your

Honour has always shewn for the good of the service, we remain,

                    Your Honour's

                        Most obedient & most

                    Humble Servants,
