HENRY (SR)1 KREGER was born Mar 15, 1777 in Germany, and died Sep 26, 1865 in Barrons. He married ELIZABETH. The Henry Kreger Family came to America from Hanover, Germany in the early 1830s and settled in Milford and Upper Turkeyfoot Townships. There were Catherine, Anne, Elizabeth, Henry, Dietrick, Frederick and another younger Henry, a twin brother of Catherine. The story is told that there was even an earlier son Henry who was in the German Army and who was killed in 1815 at the Battle of Waterloo. Henry Kreger, Sr. And his wife, Elizabeth are found in the 1850 census for Milford Township and are listed as 76 and 72, respectively. They were buried in the Barron's Cemetery. Henry Kreger Sr. and wife Elizabeth are listed in the Milford Twp census for 1850. Their ages are listed as 76 and 72 repectively. Children of HENRY KREGER and ELIZABETH are: i. ANNE2 KREGER, m. HOFELT. ii. ELIZABETH KREGER, m. JOHN LUCAS. Notes for JOHN LUCAS: Landed in Baltimore July 4, 1837. iii. HENRY1ST KREGER.

BARNHART KREGER, b. 1811, Oldenburg, Germany. Generation No. 2 2. HENRY2 KREGER (HENRY (SR)1) was born Mar 04, 1800 in Dillsheim, Hannover, Germany1, and died Apr 21, 1887 in Church of God Cemetery,Kingwood,Pa.. He married CATHERINE ELIZABETH (WIFE OF HENRY KREGER). According to available records, Henry Kreger and his wife Elizabeth left Germany because of religious persecution and the strife of war. They lived in Dillsheim but set sail from Breman, Germany. They settled in the Turkeyfoot area in 1834. Three children sailed with them, one son, who died and was buried at sea, a son Frederick and a daughter Mary. Frederick died in 1913 at the age of 84, and his wife Sarah died in 1892 at the age of 65. Mary married Josiah Gross. The following children were born in Pennsylvania: Jacob married Susan Dumbauld, Christian married Catherine Schrock, Louisa married Thomas Williams, Adaline married Green King, Herman married Elizabeth Sechler. The struggles and hardships were many in a new and sometimes hostile environment and each generation had its share. Working to survive the winter and get the bare necessities was a constant struggle. The building of a railroad through this area was the beginning of a better life. In 1865 Henry and Elizabeth bought 164 acres of land from Samuel Hochstetler. This was located in Upper Turkeyfoot Twp. On this land was built a house and barn. Henry never learned to speak the English language well; the grandchildren, because of their many pranks, received many scoldings in German which they couldn't understand. Henry died in 1887 at the age of 87 years, and Elizabeth died in 1884 at the age of 78. Children of HENRY KREGER and CATHERINE KREGER) are: 7. i. HENRY (ASSUMED SON)3 KREGER, b. Abt. 1822, Germany. 8. ii. JOHN FREDERICK KREGER, b. Aug 04, 1829, Dillsheim, Oldenburg, Germany; d. 1913. iii. ELIZABETH KREGER, b. Abt. 1832, Germany2. 9. iv. CHRISTIAN KREGER, b.

Abt. 1849, Pa.4; m. THOMAS WILLIAMS. 3. FREDERICK2 KREGER (HENRY (SR)1) was born Abt. 1802 in HANNOVER, GERMANY5, and died Dec 18, 1883. He married ANN UPHOUSE. Notes for FREDERICK KREGER: Frederick Kreger Sr. was born in Hanover, Germany about 1802. According to the 1860 census, he had living with him, Anne 52 a"spinster,@ John 21, Joseph 18, Elizabeth 15 ( a seamstress), George 12, and Frederick S. 10. The Draketown Centennial History lists Fred=s wife as Anne Uphouse. Also listed in the 1860 census was a Henry C. Kreger, age 24. There is no proof, but comparing his age of 24 to the children of Fred, Henry was likely Fred's oldest son who had already left home and started his own family. Henry's wife was Rachel age 25. They had two children, Violy and Edwin, ages two and one, respectively. Also, living with Henry was an 18-year-old domestic by the name of Rebecca Clevenger. Rebecca will become the wife of Henry's brother Joseph. Elizabeth married a Nicklow and to the Colborn and Stairs grandchildren can be remembered as Aunt Betsey who often stayed with her niece, Mam Colborn, and who smoked a home-made corn-cob pipe, It is difficult to determine exactly where Frederick Kreger Sr. lived. A search in the County Recorder=s Office reveals that Frederick Kreger Sr. owned a number of properties in the Lower Turkeyfoot area. An early map of Lower Turkeyfoot Township (post 1871) shows an F. Kreager in a farm about where his son Joseph and later the Broughers will own a farm. It is easy to speculate that Joeseph and his new wife moved in with the father. It is known that Joseph=s first child was born on a farm here. The same map shows an F. Kreager farm adjacent to Draketown and Frederick Kreger Sr. is mentioned in the Draketown Centennial Book. All one can say for sure is that he lived in Lower Turkeyfoot Township. He was fairly properous as evidenced by the properties he owned. One other property he owned was given or sold to his son George Kreger. By its location on the map, this is the same property that was later the Lenhart Farm. In fact, it is said that, Frederick bought and gave farms to each of his sons. The map also shows an H. Kreager in the home which will later become the home of J.B. Colborn. However, J.B.Colborn actually bought the farm from Henry's brother, John Kreger. There is a variance in facts between two sources of data about Frederick. The 1850,1860 and 1880 censuses consistently indicate his birth year about 1802. Family sheets at the Somerset Historical Society list his birth as August 13, 1807. This latter source lists his wife as Annie Struckoff born Feb. 18,1802,died Nov. 17 1887. The "Draketown Past and present"lists his wife as Anne Uphouse born about 1807. The above family sheets are the source for identifying his father as Henry. Children of FREDERICK KREGER and ANN UPHOUSE are: 12. i. HENRY C3 KREGER, b. Abt. 1836. 13. ii. JOHN S. KREGER, b.

JOSEPH3 KREGER (FREDERICK2, HENRY (SR)1) was born Jun 25, 1842 in UP'R TURKEYFOOT TWSHP, PA., and died Oct 10, 1911 in UP'R TURKEYFOOT TWSHP, PA.. He married REBECCA J. CLEVENGER Jan 27, 1860, daughter of PAUL CLEVENGER and MAGDALENA. Notes for JOSEPH KREGER: According to his obituary, Joseph was born June 25, 1842 in Upper Turkeyfoot Township and belonged to the Old Bethel Church there. He married Rebecca Clevenger in 1860 when they were both 18 years old and settled in Lower Turkeyfoot Township. They had nine children seven of which included: Mary Ellen, Frederick Benjamin, Phoebe, Sarah A., Barbara C., Martha J., and Samuel B. He was obviously a successful farmer and businessman. Besides tending his farms, Joseph dealt quite successfully in the cattle business. In researching deeds in the County Recorder=s Office, he bought and sold a number of farms and other properties. His estate included seven properties two of which were the Ahome farm@ and his retirement home in Confluence. The home farm was the property just down the road from the J.B. Colborn Farm bought by his granddaughter Daisy and her husband Freeman Brougher. During his working years, he lived on three different farms. The farm where he lived when first married and where his first two children were born, the farm he first owned(bought about 1868), and the home farm which he bought about 1880. It is not clear where the farm he first owned was located, but according to his obituary, his son (presumably Fred B.) took it over when the home farm was purchased. The grandchildren were always told that Mam Colborn (Joe's first child) was born in a house whose foundation could be found between the home farm and Marsh Enos=s place further down the road toward the Laurel Hill Creek. As previously speculated this might have been Frederick Kreger Senior's farm. Sometime after 1890, after George and Elizabeth Stairs died from Typhoid, Harry Stairs came to work for Joseph Kreger. He fell in love with Joseph's daughter Catherine (Kate) and they were married about 1895. Harry's brother, Raleigh, and sister, Grace, stayed there a while, as well. Raleigh met Elizabeth Colborn, granddaughter of Joseph, who lived next door. They were married in 1902. Of the several other properties owned by Joseph Kreger, one, a 125-acre farm called the Old Dull Place, was sold to Harry Stairs in 1904. This property was just beyond the original John Enos farm and was sold to John four years later. In 1911, Joseph Kreger bought Raleigh Stairs' Farm at an auction. This was the farm much later owned first by Will Colborn and then John Stairs. By 1900 he had bought property in Confluence and had retired. He owned a home and four lots, there, which were sold to his daughter-in-law Laura after his death. He became sick from paralysis in 1911 and after six weeks died in the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Colborn. He is buried in the cemetery at the Jersey Baptist Church.

KREGER: Frederick S. Kreger was a son of the elder Kreger and a brother of Joseph Kreger. He had the farm up on the high road above the Jersey Church on the bend before the old John Enos Farm. Mary Lou Stairs liked to visit there because the children of his daughter, Flossie Vanaman, would lend her books to read.

MARY ELLEN4 KREGER (JOSEPH3, FREDERICK2, HENRY (SR)1) was born Apr 1863 in LOWER TURKEYFOOT TWP, SOMERSET CO, PA, and died 1947. She married JAMES BUCHANAN COLBORN Oct 26, 1979, son of SYLVESTER COLBORN and SARAH TISSUE. Notes for MARY ELLEN KREGER: Mary Ellen Kreger was the oldest child of Joseph Kreger, born 1863, and the matriarch of the J.B. Colborn Family. She married James B. Colborn, 26 October, 1879. They had nine children, three of whom died before reaching adult age. One, Frank, died tragically from Lockjaw attained by shooting a cap in a toy pistol. The surviving children were William, Elizabeth, Daisy, Lulu, Mary and Glenn. Mam Colborn was a rather, short, roly-poly women with granny glasses and was called Mammy by all the grandchildren. She can be remembered in her later days, after Pap Colborn had died, sitting in the old farm kitchen with a little snuff under her lip. Both Mary Lou Stairs and Cousin Verna (Colborn) Burnworth tell of Mam Colborn having been born on her family farm just down the road on the way to the Laurel Hill Creek, between the Brougher Farm and Marsh Enos's Place. Verna told of once being asked to go stay with and help Mam Colborn while her daughter Lib was in Baltimore helping Aunt Kate after Glenn Stairs's birth. Verna slept in the same upstairs bedroom as Mam Colborn and Mam Colborn would talk and talk until Verna fell asleep. Feigning sleep one night, the last thing Verna heard her say was "she's asleep.@ During these talks, Mam Colborn told about her racing on horses with her brother Frederick. She blamed losing the race on having the weaker horse. But she lost even after insisting that she and her brother exchange horses. She also told of visiting her mother-in-law, Sarah (Tissue) Colborn in Draketown, traveling in single file on horses, one child in front and one child behind Bess Stahl has a letter hand written by Mam Colborn to Libby Stairs, when Lib was first married and lived in Braddock. The letter is fairly well written, which is remarkable considering the fact that Mam Colborn had no formal schooling. Her husband, James Colborn, was a business man dealing in the purchase and sale of livestock. So engaged, there were always many visitors at the Colborn Farm. Mam Colborn was the overseer of all visitor activities. She was always friendly and entertaining with the visitors and was well liked. ---- Mary Ellen Colborn survived her husband by seventeen years and died in 1947. Family sheet from Somerset Hist. Soc. lists her birth as April 8, 1861. Notes for JAMES BUCHANAN COLBORN: James B. Colborn was born on the Colborn Farm near Draketown, 28 October 1856. He married Mary Ellen Kreger, 26 October, 1879.

He and his sons and grandsons would go about the countryside buying up cattle. The farm was used as a way station in the drive to market. The cattle would be driven down through Confluence and out the "Mae West" road to the slaughterhouse. Sometimes they were driven north toward the Johnstown slaughterhouse. Associated with his cattle business, Pap Colborn often had visitors at the house for which Mam Colborn and his daughter, Libby Stairs, cooked sumptuous meals. He dealt extensively in cattle for 50 years and was favorably known all over Somerset County, Pennsylvania, Garret County, Maryland and Preston County, West Virginia. James Colborn was a member and supporter of The Church of God for 47 years. At various times, he was involved in a variety of community activities: Sunday school superintendent, supervisor of schools, road commissioner, and tax collector. He fought to have rural electric extended to the area and he was one of the first farmers to install indoor plumbing. He died at his home Monday, April 14, 1929. He had been afflicted for a long time with rheumatism. James Colborn was a charter member of the Pleasant Valley Lodge No. 72 of The Knights of Pythias who took charge of his funeral.
