General Notes: Husband - Ulrich Neukomer


He was born in that part of Switzerland called Teutonic Switzerland, of German parentage. He came to America in 1755 and located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was a strong adherent of the rigid Mennonite faith, and ordered his life according to the peculiar tenets of that church.

It is said that Ulrich Newcomer was born in Switzerland, and raised and educated in that country; that he came to America about 1755, and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was married twice.

It is claimed by one branch of the family that the children of Ulrich Neukomer were by his first wife, with the exception of Barbara, who was by the second. There must be error here, for it is well established that certain of his children were born in Pennsylvania. It is also stated that the first wife of Ulrich died on shipboard on the voyage across the Atlantic. If this be so, some children attributed to her must be of the second wife.
