He married MARY MAGDALENA BIEBER November 12, 1734 in Coventry Chester Co Pennsylvania. The DeBoe family is believed to be of noble lineage in France, located in Alsace-Lorraine. Being French Huguenots, they eventually had to flee into Germany in the 17th century to escape persecution by the Catholic Church. They made their way to England. This migration was through Holland. Arrived in Philadelphia on Oct 17k 1732 aboard the pink, "John and William", from Rotterdam, first from Dover, England.. Children of PHILLIP DEBOE and MARY BIEBER are: i. ABRAHAM2 DEBOE. ii. JOHN CONRAD DEBOE, b. June 25, 1738. May have migrated to the Shenandoah Valley in VA and westward from there. iii. PHILLIP JACOB DEBOE II, b. 1740, Lancaster Co Pennsylvania; d. Abt. 1825, Pittsylvania Co Virginia. I would appreciate any help with this line of my family, Judy Lehman
