Notes for Christian Winebrenner and Mary Adam

1759 Christian Winebrenner's birthdate has been reported as December 4. We seek documentation for this date. Christian was age 26-44 in the 1800 census, so he was born 1755-1774. Other researchers have reported that Christian Winebrenner was the third child born to Johann Christian and Christiana Wyand Winebrenner. Based on reported ages of his siblings, and the date of birth of his children, he may have been born about 1764, in York County, Pennsylvania. [1]

Mary Adams was a daughter of John Adams.

Genealogy Notes report [106]:

Christian Winebrenner, 3rd child of Johann Christian and Christiana Wyand Winebrenner, was born about 1764 in York Co. Pa.. (birth record not found there, although record of his brothers and sisters is) He died Dec. 20, 1832 aged about 68 years, at his farm home near Martinsburg in Morrison's Cove, Blair County (then Bedford) Pa. and likely buried there, but headstone and record not found. Date of his birth calculated from that of near brothers and sister, and date of birth of his first child. Date of his death learned from letter of Jan. 8, 1833 by Rev. John Winebrenner, his nephew to Philip his father saying Christian had died Dec. 20, 1832 "at his home in Morrison's Cove, Blair Co. Pa.". About 1780 when he was a young man, he likely moved with his father and family from York Co. Pa. to Hagerstown Md. They may have lived a short while in Franklin Co. Pa. near Mercersburg, but soon went to Blair Co. (then Bedford) and settled near Martinsburg. He owned farm land there, and a deed on file at Bedford, Pa. (Deed Book G, p. 775) shows that on June 23rd 1809, he conveyed, for 5 shillings, 1 acre of "ground situated some little distance of Christian Winebrenner's Spring, on West side of, and laid out for purpose of erecting an house of Public Worship etc.". It was deeded to Conrad Nicodemus, Frederick Hartle, Herman Dick, and Henry Grubb, and to the Elders and Wardens of a Church "commonly called The Congregation at Christian Winebrenners". It says this was part of "Warrented to John Adams (his father-in-law) in 1802 by the Commonwealth of Pa." and had been bequeathed by him to his daughter Mary, wife of Christian Winebrenner. Further, the Archives of Pa. Series 3, Vol. 25, page 667, shows Warrentees of Land in County of Bedford and that Christian Winebrenner owned 174 acres, date of survey being Aug. 24, 1826. His Will is on file at Bedford Pa. He married, probably in Bedford County about 1788, Mary Adams, date of birth not known, the daughter of John Adams of Bedford County. She died very likely, late in 1809 probably near Martinsburg and buried somewhere near there. Headstone and record not found. Legend says they had 10 children, only 7 are known - see list. Their son Christian was a minister. Christian Winebrenner married second, about 1809, in Bedford Co., Pa., Abigail Chrisman, born in 1788 in Germany and came to America when 16 years of age, thus about 1804. She died Aug. 16, 1864, aged 76 years, in Noble Co., Indiana and buried in Sanford cemetery near Merriam, Noble Co. She may have moved to Indiana in August 1846 when a number of her children did, her husband having died in 1832. There were 10 children by this marriage - see list. There is some doubt about the last two listed (Nancy and Margaret) as they are not mentioned in the Will among the "eight youngest children". However, Elder (or Rev.) John Winebrenner in his journal, recorded that Oct. 21, 1832, he "stayed all night at Uncle Christian Winebrenner's a few miles in the country (from Martinsburg)". He also wrote "He has twenty children".
