It is of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, Pa which was Philadelphia County at the time until about the middle of the1780's. All of brothers John and Henry Bachman's children's births and baptisms are in this church record. The problem for all of us is that some of these children were grown and married and were having children of their own when they moved to Westmoreland County, and many of them were named John and Henry with sons named Adam , John, Henry etc . The old German naming patterns are a ball of snakes to sort out and it's easy to leap past a generation in order to fill in a blank. It is my view that all Westmoreland County, PA Baughmans descend from these two Philadelphia/Montgomery County brothers. I need to purchase all of Rev. Ruff's Brush Creek Church records(and others) to try to trace Henry's descendants too as they appear t! o have lived in other townships besides Hempfield. I think you will find the cd very informative so email me to tell me where to send it. I have put a copy of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church Record, Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County, PA in the Baltzer Meyer Historical Society in Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County if you live near enough to visit there.

Shirley, I too have been working on these two family lines for quite a while. I have posted my information at http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jlm524 I have been pretty fortunate to be able to document quite a few of their descendants from the German Church Records, wills, etc. I noted in your response you referred to John and Henry as brothers. I have suspected this for a while but have not found tangible proof of this or their parents. Would you be able to share with me how this was proved and their parents if known? In early tax records for Westmoreland County, there is also a George Baughman, Sr. and George Baughman, Jr. He first appears in 1791 and disappears in 1810. I have also wondered if this was a brother or cousin to John and Henry. Any information is greatly appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: baughman-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:baughman-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of miller1234@zoominternet.net Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 7:44 PM To: BAUGHMAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BAUGHMAN] Bachman/Baughman of Westmoreland County, PA This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
