Pennsylvania German Pioneers identifies a number of other Sturm arrivals in the 1700's in Philadelphia:

*Jacob Storm (Sturm) who was born 23 May 1763 married Juliana Herrmann on 13 Apr 1784. Source: Frederick Evangelical Lutheran Church Parish Record Book I 1743-1811 translation. Family Bible

Leonhardt Sturm who apparently was son of Johan Wendel Sturm had a daughter Christiana{new} who served as a witness to the above wedding. Op.cit.

Johan Jacob Sturm may have had a daughter Christina Storm (Stormin) of Frederick Valley MD, who married Jacob Graff or Grove on 19 Oct 1784. Jacob and Maria Storm were witnesses. Op. cit.

Johan Jacob Sturm's marriage to Margaretha Dellinger(in) is listed as 8 Oct 1750. Op.cit.

- Jacob Sturm (which one is not at all clear) had an illegitimate son Jacob with Catharina Merckel. The boy died 31 Mar 1785 at age 4 mo, 6 d. Op. cit. A note in Monocacy and Catoctin Vol I by C.E.Schildknect, Editor from Beidel Printing House that the Jacob Storm married to Maria Benedicta who had daughter Maria Catharina was different from the "JJS who came in 1728 with Brunner." This refers to Joseph Brunner from Klein Schifferstadt via Philadelphia.

John Storrim/Stuurm 1723-1805 was the son-in-law of Michael (d. 1777) and Eve Tanner of Frederick, MD. His wife was Elizabeth. Ibid

Reformed Sturm / Storm line

Sturm family

Schifferstadt is indeed in Bavaria (Bayern), according to the LDS Church Family History Catalog. From what I have heard, K. Schifferstadt was absorbed by Gross Schifferstadt to become just Schifferstadt. Ingleheim was another of the communities the Sturms lived in which was also nearby. The Reformed, Lutheran, and Catholic Records for the area are available on microfilm from the LDS Church.

The following info is based on Pioneers of Old Monocacy, Early Settlements of Frederick County MD 1721-43 by Grace L. Tracey and John P. Dern.

Jacob Storm, the younger of Frederick Co., Md.

An over-looked source of original papers held by the Md. State Archiives are called Releases. This one should be of interest to those researching Johann Jacob Storm, the elder (1701-1757) of Frederick Co. and his children:
Releases 1784-1825 Mdhr 9496
Know all men by these prospects that I Jacob Storm of New Yok government - farmer- due herebe acknowledge to receive of Peter Doffeller of Frederick County in the province of Maryland the sum of two hundred and fifteen pounds current money of Maryland it being in full of all laments concerning my father's estate and I acknowledge to be true and fully satisifed and contented and do hereby for ever acquit the said Peter Doffeller and his heirs forever. Acknowledge to April 6, 1781. Test. Benedict Swope
Rec. 15 Oct 1784

Peter Tofler mar. Anna Maria Sturm, widow of Jacob the elder 17 Apr 1757. There were several accounting for Jacob's estate. The final accounting was made by Stephen Ramsburg 15 Oct 1784. It appears that Jacob , the younger received his share from his step father in 1781. The above would seem to negate information in some known Storm family histories. I have never read where this Jacob may have gone to New York.

My line is through Leonard Storm (1736-1819) in Frederick Co. Md. and am happy to share infomation.

John Storms, b. 1755 Sharpsburg, MD; married Hannah Collard

John Storms married Hannah Collard in KY in 1789. I know this is true, but he must have had a previous wife. When he married Hannah he had four children. Do you have any record of the previous wife? His only daughter at that time was named Sarah. [email protected]

Storm; Schifferstadt Line

My Linkage is of Sebastian Storm: Sebastian Strum Johann Peter Strum Christian Strum Johann Jacob Strum Peter Storm John Storm John Storm Greenup Storm William H. Storm Walter Storm Robert L. Storm Sr. Robert L. Storm Jr. Jennie Ann Storm Geck {this is me} I'm looking for the Galbraith Family that live around the Ill. area at the same time our early members of the family did. Also I'm loking for any information about Clara ELLIS. She came with her mother from England to Utah with the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Robert Sr. and Clara Ellis never did marry and Robert Jr. was rasied by his grandparents. They were Walter and Jennie Storm. They lived in the Salt Lake City area in the 1920's and are buried there. Walter Storm was a butcher my trade.

John James and George Storm (IN, KY)

I am a decendant of Sebastian and the group that came to Philadelphia on the "Mortonhouse". Actually, I am a decendant of the BRUNER family that first came on that same ship as well as the STURM/STORM line. They came from Schifferstadt as well and decendants of those lines still are found in the same areas around the country, especially in Kentucky it seems. I have a situation of trying to fill in gaps. I don't know if I can explain it well here in a few lines or not. The STURM/STORM and BRUNER families joined by marriage a few times. I can actually trace the ones that are farther back in time easier because there has been so much done and reported on them already. However, I am a direct decendant of another BRUNER/STORM connection that I can't seem to trace back as far. I can't be sure that the STORM I come from is a decendant of the Schifferstadt STROMs or not. As I said, I am a decendant of them for sure through the BRUNNER/STURM marriages, but my surname history is still not traced back to a connection.

John James Storm was born in Indiana 29 June 1829 to George Storm who d. 1836 in a sawmill accident and is buried in an unmarked grave in a cemetery just across the road from Indian Lake near Hawesville, KY, and Winney Ann Rusher (b.abt 1810 ; d. 1849), daughter of James Rusher (b. abt 4 July 1780 ; d. 11 June 1847 and is buried in Blackford Church Cemetery in Hancock Co., KY). George and Winney lived in Indiana when John James was born, but about 1830 moved to Kentucky where they had 3 more children: Joseph, Rhoda Angelina, and Sara Jane. Nothing about George's parents are known for sure. One source suggests that he may have been a son of a Peter Storm who lived in Ohio County and later Spencer Co., IN. Many records at Hartford and a "will" was probated at Rockport, IN. I would love to know this lineage. It was also noted that when Winney died, John James and two surviving sisters may have become wards of one Peter Brewer according to Hawesville Courthouse records. John James became a methodist minister and also Hancock County (KY) Judge in the 1880's. He married Mary Ellen Cox on 29 Dec 1853. She was the daughter of a Robert Cox who helped build the Hancock Co. Courthouse. John James and Mary Ellen had 8 children. Robert Cox, James Beauregard, Benjamin Rusher, Ida Belle, George Nester (my ggrandfather), Laura J., Minnie G., and Margaret E. John James and Mary Ellen are both buried in Hawesville Cemetery. George Nester married Cora Florence Chambers, daughter of Samuel P. Chambers and Caroline E. Bruner. One of their children was Earl Chambers Storm, my grandfather. If anyone can help me trace my STORM name back past John James and his father George, I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Brad Storm Geneseo, IL

I am seeking information on a first wife of John Sturm/Storm b. 1755 Sharpsburg, MD near the WV(then VA)/MD border. John served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting from VA, but two of his brothers enlisted from MD. There is a time gap between the end of the war and John's appearance in KY with wife Hannah Collard. Some sources show Hannah Collard as mother of all of John's children, however other information suggests that Peter, Mary, and Sarah were almost certainly born before John's marriage to Hannah. If anyone can shed any light on this question, or verify any corrections or additions to the following data, the help will be greatly appreciated!!

John STURM was married to UNKNOWN about 1780 and had the following children: Peter STORM was born about 1784 in WV. He died after 1842. Sarah STORM was born about 1785 in WV. She died before 1840 in Grayson Co., KY. Mary STORM was born about 1785 in WV. She died in 1875.

John STURM was married to Hannah COLLARD on 5 Dec 1789 in Nelson Co., KY. They had the following children: Elizabeth Ann STORM was born on 18 Aug 1790 in Nelson Co., KY. She died after 1852 in Freelandville, Knox Co., IN. William STORM was born about 1792 in Nelson Co., KY.

Johan Wendel Storm/Sturm

Johann Peter Storm and Johann Wendel Storm were brothers according to the information I have. I do not have the documents, but I have spoken to someone in Southern Illinois who has been to Salt Lake City and to Frederick to the site of the Storm family church which he said is now a Christian church. He said the records are in the church. Do you know which church in Middletown was the Sturm/Storm family church? Christian was apparently the father from the village near Frankfurt called Kleinschifferstadt. I am a Sturm and live in Central Illinois. The descendants of Wendel moved to Southern Indiana in harrison county. Then George, moved to White County, Illinois. [email protected]

Sturm / Storm from Schifferstadt to Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana

11 Gnerations following one line from Schifferstadt in early 1600s to Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Indiana in early 1900s.

Storm/Sturm in MD

I am a descendant of John Jacob Sturm/Jacob/Isaac/Henderson/Volney. John Jacob Sturm/Storm (Johann Jacob Sturm) was baptized in Kleinschifferstadt in the Palatinate of Germany on Feb. 13, 1701. He emigrated to America on the ship Mortonhouse with his sister,Maria Barbara, and brother-in-law, Jacob Brunner, arriving in Philadelphia on August 23, 1725. They settled in PA for a couple of years in Lancaster Co. and by 1743 they lived in part of Prince Georges Co., MD, which is now Frederick Co. John Jacob purchased property from Daniel Dulany, founder of Frederick, known as Indian Fields. After his death, this land was sold to Gov Thomas Johnson, first Gov. of Maryland. This property became part of his home known as Rose Hill Nanor which is a historical site and open for visitors. Jacob Brunner built a stone home named Schifferstadt after their home town in Germany and it also is an hisotrical landmark. The following is the the family tree down to John Jacob: Sebastian Sturm wife Gloss son Christian b1662 d 1734 wife Magdalena wife Anna Barbara Gah b1675 m 5/10/1695 son Johann Jacob Sturm b 1701 d wife Anna Benedictine Sauer dau Maria Barbara wife of Jacob Brunner b 12/13/1702 son Johann Wendall b 3/28/1709 (Vandel John Jacob had thirteen children that are known and maybe two more that died at an early age. They are Susanna, Johann Wendel, Anna Maria, Jacob the younger, Jacob, Johan (John) Peter, Nickolas, Johannes(John), Elizabeth, .Barbara, Christina, Peter, Mary, Catherina Storm, Charlotta, and Anna Maria. I also have a list of each of their children. Most of the material I have (60 pages) comes from a book called "Jacob Brunner of Schifferstadt".

Anna Maria Barbara Sturm & Johann Jacob Dorner in Frederick Co, Maryland in 1700s

Jacob Dorner German Pioneer of Frederick County, Maryland and Three Generations of Descendants 1748-1895 by Nancy Rice Kiddoo 1995 Paper 140 pp; #20 Order from author: 16 Woodfield Dr., Whippany NJ 07981

Johann Jacob Dorner (also Darner, Durner, Turner, Tanner) of Ilbesheim, Landau, Germany, shoemaker, probably arrived in Philadelphia in 1746, paying his own passage. In Frederick Co. by 1748, he applied for a warrant to 100 acres of land in Middletown Valley on Catoctin Creek. He married Anna Maria Barbara Sturm, and was naturalized in 1760. The same day he received a patent for his land, "Landau." Jacob and Barbara had six children, all of whom are followed through three generations in MD, WV, OH, and IN.

Storm book "Kin of My Grandchildren Volume 1 Storm/Arnold" by Judge Noble K. Littell

GREAT Storm book written by a Judge Noble K. Littell. The name of it is "Kin of My Grandchildren Volume 1 Storm/Arnold". It has a lot of my line and also has many of the same names that FamilyHart gedcom has. It's 300 plus pages & has over 8,000 names. The cost of the book was $30.00. If you are interested in ordering it, the address is: Judge Noble K. Littell 1219 Kat-Ca-Lani Avenue Sebring, Florida 33870 Phone (813) 471-9387 It's obvious that this gentleman has devoted many many years to his research.

The book written by Judge Littell (on page 1) states: "A John Storm was reportedly born in Germany 12 January 1725, married Elizabeth Tanner and followed the same migration pattern as some of our identified Storms to Frederick County, Maryland and Adams or York County, Pa. but no relationship has been established." Further in the book (page 151) there is a 4th generation mention of a Storm descendant in this line (a Lela May Anderson) who married a McConnell. The parents of Lela May were born circa 1857.

    Anthony & Lilly Anne Snaich Storm, their son Lewis Gregory Storm in Adams Co., Pennsylvania

    Rose Irene Storm in 1897 lived in McSherrystown. Her mother is buried in the Conewago Chapel cemetery with several of her siblings. Rose Irene is buried in the St. Aloysius cemetery in Littlestown. Her father was Lewis Gregory Storm. He was born in 1868 and is buried in the Assumption of B.V.M cemetery in McSherrystown. His father's name was an Anthony Storm and his mother was Lilly Anne Snaich. I don't have dates for them yet. They are probably in the 1830's or 40's. I think if I can find the birth or baptism records for Anthony, if his father's name is listed it will show the link to your Storms.
