General Notes: Husband - Joseph Repman


When a lad of thirteen he took passage on a sailing vessel from Frankfort, Germany, to the United States; the journey took three months, which was the usual time made. With characteristic German thrift and energy, the lad worked his way and drifted to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he was employed by Daniel Hoal for three years, which was the term of years that it was agreed he should work for his passage over to this country, and then spent a few years in a distillery. His next employment was driving a six-horse team and canastoga from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh for the purpose of transporting merchandise. This job lasted five years, and then he married and settled in Canaan township, Wayne County, Ohio. This farm was partially improved, and he continued to add to the improvements already made, until he obtained a chance to dispose of the property to good advantage. Later on he removed to Spencer, Medina County, Ohio, where he died at seventy-five years of age. [BOBLC, 361]

He was born in Germany and was thirteen years of age when he came to America, the trip consuming three months of time. He landed at Philadelphia and was there bound out to Daniel Hold for a period of three years to pay for his passage to this country. He lived at Philadelphia and near Harrisburg, between which cities he drove a six-horse team on the turnpike, and was employed in a distillery for a short time. After his marriage, he located in Hummelstown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and later moved with his family to Canaan Township, Wayne County, Ohio, where he entered a tract of eighty acres of land near Jollytown. [TCHNCLC, 716]
