<< BERGEY, Hannah M., Abraham, Abraham, Christian, John Ulrich(immigrant) >> 1728 - Philip ENGARD was a "Palatine" immigrant to America. He signs with "X" on ship list and is named as "Hans Philip". His father may have been Jacob ENGAR/ENGER who is buying land in Salford Twp, Montgomery Co., PA by 1728 from Johannes Ulrich BERGEY. 1747 - Philip ENGERT and wife, Catherine Elizabeth, sponsor the baptism of Catharina Elizabeth, dau. of Christoph BERGER & wife, Maria, at the New Providence Augustus Lutheran Church in Trapp, New Providence Twp., Montgomery Co., PA. And the HALDEMAN name: It is thought that Jacob ENGAR/ENGER never lived on the land in Lower Salford per History of Montgomery Co., PA. However, from the Genealogies of PA Families, pp. 707 - 719 indicates Jacob ENGERS did live there (very near Nicholas Haldeman, Sr.) before moving to Coventry, Chester Co., PA in 1735. It was abt 1742 that Nicholas Haldeman moved to Coventry Twp. also. (Haldeman was from Switzerland.) Sources: Bulletin of Historical Society of Montgomery Co., Sketches of Lower Salford Twp., Montgomery Co., PA; Genealogies of PA Families. I would love to know if there is some family connection of BERGEYs & HALDEMANs to ENGARDs. We have never found the surname for Philip ENGARDs wife, Catharine Elisabeth ______. Gerre Engard Byrd.
