Laubach Genealogy

Budingen, Germany to Philadelphia, PA



* The American history of the Johann Reinhart Laubach family began on 16 September 1738, with the arrival in Philadelphia, PA of Johann Reinhart Laubach and his son, Johann Christian, and family on the ship Queen Elizabeth from Budingen, Hessen, Germany. The family settled in what is now Lower Saucon Township in Northampton Co., PA. Johann Reinhart Laubach is believed to have died shortly after their arrival. His son, Johann ChristianLaubach and his wife, SusannaCatharina Zimler, had five children born in Germany and two in America. Five of these children married and raised families of their own, continuing the Laubach name in the new world.
