1753 Johann Christian Winebrenner emigrated from Germany arriving in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 29, on the Snow [a square-rigged ship with a third mast] Rowand, Arthur Tran, master, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, England. He was qualified at the Court House at Philadelphia the same day. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Christian Winebrenner was perhaps accompanied by his widowed mother Catherine, also brothers; Johann Peter, then just past twelve; John George, then about eleven; and a sister, Katrina, then just past eight years old.
1755 Christian's mother Katrina Winebrenner died and he administered her estate, taking responsibility for his younger siblings. [See the Orphans' Court records in the marriage notes of Christian's mother] [9]

[15] The warrant indicated the land was at the little Conewago adjoining lands of John Connolly and Mathias Lambert. [16] A survey of the tract, dated April 10, 1770, was made for Christian Winebrenner. [17] See the land disputes of 1762 and 1768. The tract was called "Orphan's Portion" when it was granted to George Crone by land patent in 1810. [18] Perhaps Christian had gotten a warrant for the land with the intention of granting the land either to his orphaned siblings or to the children of his wife by her previous marriage.
1758 Christiana Wynbrener requested apprenticeships for two of her children, by her previous marriage to Jacob Wyan, at the York County Orphans' Court on August 30. [19]

It is thereupon considered and decreed by the court that the said Christian Wynbrener retain in his hands the sum of six pounds five shillings and three pence in right of his wife Christiana late the widow and relict of the said Jacob Wyan being in full of her third of the personal estate of the said Jacob Wyan that the said Christian do pay unto the guardian of Yost Wyan eldest son of the said Jacob the sum of six pounds five shillings and four pence ... and to the guardian of Elizabeth daughter of the said Jacob [the same].

1762 In June, Christian Winebrenner was involved in a land dispute. [See the land warrant of 1756 and the dispute of 1768.] [31]:
Christian Winebrenner having heretofore taken out a warrant for one hundred acres of land on little Conewage in the county of York and his right under the said warrant being disputed by one Philip Duetsch, who at the same time took out another warrant out of Mr Stevenson's office & took possession of the lands, the said Christian Winebrenner now applieth for a warrant for 200 acres in Dover Township in the county of York adjoining the lands of Frederick Eicholtz, Thomas Remsen, Frederick Heck, Philip Moore, and Valentine Ertel. The aforesaid one hundred acres warrant to be located on the above described tract & 100 acres added thereto, including his improvements on the whole 200 ac tract.
no. Vact. Land adjoining Thomas Ramsay & Fred Icholtz & Valentine Ertle have disputed many years about part of the land which I take to be included in the above location. Fred. Heak is within Springetsbury.

1768 Philip Moore disputed the ownership of land in Dover Twp [see the 1756 land warrant and the 1762 dispute] surveyed for Christian Winebrenner. [38] A survey, dated 1809, reviews some history of the ownership of the tract, reporting there was no vacancy at the original warrant and "then I laid it out on this at Christian Wynbrenner's request who also bought the improvements". The survey showed adjacent tracts owned by Conrad Hoke, George Krone, Melchior Benedict, George Bennedick, John Dottesman (formerly Valentine Ertle), and Philip Henry Moore. [39] The land was in Hanover, Dover Twp, York County, near the Maryland boundary. [40] The Property Board minutes of December 12, 1768 state [41]:
On hearing it appeared that Christ'n Winebrenner in the Year 1756 about the 5th of March obtained a Warrant for 100 A[cre]s of Land and there being none vacant at the place as appears by the Surv'rs Certificate the Warrant was surveyed about three Miles distant from the first Location on an Improvement made about 16 Y'rs ago which Winebrenner purchased from one Conrad Hake for £75 And the Survey was made in December 1756 long before the Warrant of Phil. Hen. Moore And it appears that Henry Moore was present & consenting therefore the Board are of Opinion that there is no foundation for Moores Caveat & that it ought to be dismissed.

Bill in Equity in Washington County Court. March Term 1823.
Sam'l Ringgold, William Gabby, O. H. Williams, William Heyser, Henry Lewis and David T. Wilson vs. The Heirs & Devisees of Christian Winebrenner, deceased.
The object of the bill is to obtain a decree compelling the defendants to convey to the plaintiffs a lot of ground, situate on the South West corner of Franklin and Jonathan streets, in Hagerstown. The bill states that the plaintiffs are commissioners appointed to select a site for the erection of a new Goal, and that they have purchased from the said David T. Wilson all his right and interest in and to the above lot - That the said David T. Wilson purchased the same of William Kreps, Executor of the said Christian Winebrenner - That the whole of the purchase money pursuant to the terms of said sale, except a small balance, was paid by the said David T.

H. Williams, Cl'k. April 8. 23 - 3w
1824 Andrew Kershner, administrator of Christian Winebrenner, ordered Leth Land and William Lewis to ascertain the annual value of the real estate of the estate. [78]
1839 A final account of the estate of Christian Winebrenner was reported by Andrew Kershaw on May 1. The account listed 7 equal payments ($18.18 each) to Philip Winebrenner, Christian Winebrenner, Catharine Snyder, Christiana Banrehiser, Sabastiana Winebrenner, Peter Winebrenner and to Jacob Winebrenner's heirs. Jacob' heirs each received one seventh ($2.58 each) of his share viz widow, John Winebrenner, Mary Barr, Sally Winebrenner, Peter Winebrenner, Joseph Winebrenner, and the heirs of Catharine Snyder. The heirs of Catharine Snyder, viz: Elizabeth Snyder, Andrew Snyder, Sally Snyder, Simon Snyder, John Snyder, and Mary Snyder, each received one sixth ($0.43 each) of her share. [79]
Research Notes:
1839 The account by Andrew Kershaw names Christian Winebrenner as an heir of this couple. Our research suggests that son Christian Winebrenner died in 1832. Perhaps Andrew Kershaw, who assumed the role of executor after the first exeutor died, did not know the status of all of the heirs. Similarly, the account names Sebastiana as a heir, but a newspaper announcement dated 1823 named heirs of Sebastian Winebrenner. We have assumed that the other heirs named in Andrew Kershaw's account were surviving children of Christian Winebrenner.
Some researchers report that Christian was born 1735 in Karlsruhe, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.
Some researchers have reported Christian's birthdate as July 10, 1735. We seek documentationn for this date.
Some researchers report that Christian's mother was named Elsa Catherina Langenbach (1715-1755).
"From the birth records of Zion Reformed Church at Hagerstown, Maryland we find the following: Johannes W, born August 18, 1787, son of Christian and Anna Maria Winebrenner. Amelia W, born September 22, 1814, daughter of Christian and Anna Maria Winebrenner. [handwritten note NO!!]" [80]
Notes for Johann Christianus Weinbrenner (Rowand, 1753) mention a father John Theis and spouse Weyandt. [81] Who was Weyandt a spouse of? Orphans' Court records in Pennsylvania report that Christian Winebrenner was married to widow Wyand.:
This man was documented at 5239 Kirburg (7 km. s.w. of Daaden; Chbks are Ref.). Johann Christianus Weinbrenner, son of Joh. Theiß Weinbrenner at Langenbach, married 26 July 1735 Elsa Catharina, widow of Joh. Weyandt Capito of Langenbach. Joh. Chr. Weinbrenner, son of the Widow Weinbrenner, appears on a list of those recruited by Joh. Chr, SWchmitt (q.v.) in 1753 (Nassau-Dillenburg Lists). "Christian Winebrenner" was on the ship Rowand on 29 September 1753 (S-H, I, p. 568). List 209 C. [82]
