26 OCT 1741 Conrad Pop arrived in Philadelphia from Europe on snow Molly Notes for John/Johann Conrad Bobb/popp: - From Arlene Houghton The research for the descendants of Conrad (Popp) Bobb has been a frustrating experience because of the many ways in which the name is spelled, the custom of using the same first and second names generation after generation, and the fact that it was frequently common to use only the second (rufnamen) instead of the first name. Also, the inaccuracy of recorded data is amazing. For example, people were buried before they died, had children after they died, and frequently conducted other activities before they were born. At any rate, a very exhaustive search of the records at the Berks County Court House at Reading the Berks County Historical Society, Montgomery County Historical Society, Schwemkfelder Library, Lancaster County Historical Society, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia City Hall, Allentown Court House, Strassburger's List of German Immigrants and the consultations with several local historians, leads to the conclusion that the results which I have tabulated are accurate. By the process of elimination, people with similar names have been discarded because of spouses names, dates or for other reasons. Johann Conrad Pop arrived on the Snow Molly on October 26 1741 his age is listed in the manifest as 26 years. He had already be married to Elizabeth Stauffer, but the manifest does not list her name. In 1744, he purchased our property from Christian Beidler and also purchased 154 acres in DouglasTownship, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) County. In addition, he purchased some 300 acres in Alsace Township, Berks County. His occupation is consistently given as ' 'Weaver' '. His son, Joahann Conrad came to America on the ship Henrietta on October 22, 1754 and lived on the Alsace property, although the tax records show that he was assessed to his father in 1754. Both father and son were weavers or tailors. Conrad , Sr. died in 1760(??) without a will and surveyor Schulz`s notes state that the settlement of his estate was extremly difficult. Son Conrad kept the Alsace property, being entitled to a double share as eldest child. Son Abraham kept 1/2 of the Douglass property, the other 1/2 being conveyed to the executors of Elizabeth Sauffer`s second husband, Casper Moyer, who died in 1761 soon after she had remarried. Son Daniel bought out the interest of his brothers and sister so that in this way the estate was finally settled intra-family, but this deed was never recorded until 1913 although dated 1774. The only discrepancies that exsit in connection with the recitals in the deed are that son John lived in Douglass Township`instead of Alsace and that the deed is dated some 4 years after he died. The first can be explained, however, by the fact that there are other errors in the drafting of the deed and that Elizabeth apparently did live in Douglass Township since she was assessed there. A comparison of the signatures of grandson John George and the signature on the deed leads to the conclusion that he did sign his father`s name. His mother may have been present, but her signature is by mark. The above notes were taken from Mr. Hyde W. Ballard in his Research of Ancestors of Levina Babb Ball The land he bought from Christian Beidler had a mill in what is now known as Forge Dale on Dale Forge in Washington Township, Berks, County, Pa. He died intestate, but the mill continued to be operated by his son Daniel, Sr. until 17 when he sold to his son Daniel, Jr. The Bapp (Bobb) mill is about 1/2 mile above Barto on the north branch of the Perkiomen Creek. When the mill was enlarged and in need of repairs, the man secured was Issac Kummenr. He worked all winter at the Bobb home. In the spring , he married oldest daughter, Elizabeth. Note: A 34 Acre property was purchased in Hereferd Twp., Patent Book ' 'H' ' #5 P511. A 130 acre property was purchased by Daniel Bobb, Sr. ? The mill property John Conrad bought in 1744, paid 345 lb, 10 shillings. He made a down payment of 80 lbs , with a mortgage of 172 lb, 10 shillings. Phila. Deed Book ' 'G' ' Page 24.

Bobb when the estate was settled in 1774...the other 76A was surveyed and conveyed to Issac Meyer at the same time. 14 1754,2nd-Prop. TaxRecs: 1754, Conrad Popp and Conrad Pope both appear on Hereford Tp., Berks Co. tax records for this year. (Possibly C. Popp appears relating to the1744 deed and C. Pope appears relating to the 1750 warrant...such would match names on tax records to ... More follows:15 1754,2nd-Prop.Tax,More: 1754, ...to names on the 1744 deed and the 1750 warrant, except the property on the warrant seems more likely connected to the 152 A in Douglass Tp. than the 100 A in Hereford Tw. because the estate settled in 1774 with only 100 A in Hereford Tw.) |
