George Frybarger/Freiberger/Fryberger arrived in
Philadelphia on the ship
Commerce on October 9, 1803, with his father
Johannes. We've always thought they came from Germany, but a petition signed by George
Frybarger in 1835 indicates Switzerland. I have no other information on George's father, either. Additionally, George
Frybarger was turned over to a man by the name of John
Kurtz to be reared. Does anyone have any information that might shed some light on this? This was in
Lancaster County, PA. Thanks for any and all assistance.
It has since been discovered that a descendant of George
Frybarger was
Sylvester Frybarger. A Biographical Sketch of Sylvester's life is attached - it notes George.
Thought this might help someone. I have a GEDCOM file of this family if anyone is interested.
