A primary method I am using in my research of the early Brethren Churches of Kentucky, is to follow the Brethren families, as they go to Kentucky, and as members of the family leave Kentucky in the moves west. I have collected the following data on these families. I would appreciate your review of this information, and any proven corrections you can provide. Than you Merle C Rummel ********************************* RIBELIN Family RN-1 Hans Martin F RAIBELIN..m. c1758................Anna b. 1736 Germany...........................b. 1740 d. 19 May 1791 Rowan Co NC ch: ...William......(1759-1822).....m. 1779, Mary A Kiher ..........Fleming Co KY ...Peter........(1760-1830).....m........Nancy Johnson .........Rowan Co NC ...Catherine....(1762-1818).....m. c1785, Adam Kern Sr KN-11 ..Nicholas Co KY ...Martin.......(1764-1831).....m. 1794, Catherine Butner ......Nicholas Co KY ...Jacob........(c1768-1830) ...................................Rowan Co NC ...Elizabeth....(1770-1840).....m. 1792, George M Smith Jr Pulaski Co KY ...Anna.........(c1772- ...Sarah........(c1774- ...Susanna......(c1776- ...Rachel.......(c1778- RN-14 Martin C RIBELIN........m. 8 Apr 1794...........Catherine BUTNER b. 1764 Rowan Co NC........................b. 20 Apr 1772 Rowan Co NC d. 29 Mar 1831 Nicholas Co KY...................d. 28 Feb 1856 Orange Co IN f.
