ULRICH (ULLERY) Family History
- 1st Generation: Jacob
- 2nd Generation: Stephen [1680-])
- 3rd Generation: Stephen [1710-1785])
Jacob/John ULRICH1 (<1660)
1. Jacob/John ULRICH1 (perhaps Johann Jacob ULRICH) was born before 1660 in Germany. He married Anna FREY and had at least three sons:
| 11. | Hans Jakob ULRICH | |||
| 12. | Stephen ULRICH2 | 1680 | ||
| 13. | (George) ULRICH |
According to work by Kriss REPLOGLE and Fred E. ULLERY, Jacob's three sons were reportedly short and stout and all three married tall English sisters. It is possible that they married in the English seaman area of Chincoteaque Island in present-day Accomack County, Virgina. They raised ponies -- rounded up the wild small horses on the island and swam them to the mainland to sell.
The first recorded land holdings by the ULRICHs were in the area of the present-day Adams County, Pennsylvania, then in Chester County, which later became Lancaster County on October 14, 1728, York County on October 14, 1748, and finally Adams County in 1800.
It was probably in Adams County that Jacob/John ULRICH, while hunting wild turkeys, fell down a precipice and was fatally impaled on a tree snag.
Stephen ULRICH2 (~1680-)
12. Stephen ULRICH2 was born about 1680 in Germany. He married Elizabeth WAGGONER (or perhaps Anna Margretha MAKIN*) and had at least five children:
| 121. | Stephen (Waggoner) ULRICH3 | (1710) | 1785 | (75) |
| 122. | Samuel ULRICH | (1716) | ||
| 123. | Daniel ULRICH | (1720) | ||
| 124. | John ULRICH | (1721) | ||
| 125. | Elizabeth ULRICH | 1723 | (1802) | (79) |
Two of the children, Stephen and Elizabeth married GREIB siblings Elizabeth GREIB and Jacob GREIB.
Stephen (Waggoner) ULRICH (ULLERY)3 (~1710-1785)
121. Stephen (Waggoner) ULRICH (ULLERY)3 was born about 1710 in Swebeland, Mannheim, Baden Baden, Germany. He appears to have first married an Anna Margretha MAKIN* on January 10, 1729/1730 in Schriesheim, Mannheim, Baden Baden Baden, immigrated to Pennsylvania and had at least one son. Anna died before 1740 and Stephen remarried to Elizabeth GREIB (CRIPE) and had as many as nine more children:
| 121A. | Daniel ULRICH | 1735 | (1792) | (57) |
| 121B. | David ULRICH | 1746 | 1823 | (77) |
| 121C. | Stephen (Cripe) ULRICH | 25 Apr 1750 | 1836 | (85) |
| 121D. | Christina ULRICH | 1753 | 1810 | (57) |
| 121E. | Samuel ULRICH | (1754) | 1822 | (68) |
| 121F. | Lydia ULRICH | (1756) | (1819) | (63) |
| 121G. | Elizabeth (Cripe) ULRICH4 | (1752/1757) | Sep 1834 | (77/82) |
| 121H. | Hannah Susan ULRICH | (1762) | 2 Aug 1798 | (36) |
| 121I. | Mary ULRICH | (1765) | (1844) | (79) |
| 121J. | Susannah ULRICH | 3 May 1759 | 7 Nov 1830 | (71) |
Judging from the childrens' birth places, Stephen and Anna first settled in Peters Township, near Mercersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania where Daniel was born in 1735.
By 1750 the family moved east to neighboring Adams County, where Stephen was born, and again east to neighboring York County, where Elizabeth was born in 1757. About 1762, the family returned west but crossed into Frederick County, Maryland where Mary and Susannah were born.
Elizabeth (GREIB/CRIPE) ULRICH died about 1780 in Washington County, Maryland.
Stephen (Waggoner) ULRICH died a few years later in 1785 in Peters Township, Washington County, Maryland.
After Elizabeth's and Stephen's deaths, at least three children moved across the Allegheny Mountains to Bedford County, Pennsylvania, beginning as early as the 1780's with the migration of Elizabeth and Daniel MILLER and then into Ohio beginning around 1803 where Elizabeth, Daniel, and three of Elizabeth's siblings (David, Stephen, and Mary) settled first in Preble County and later in Montgomery County.
The last three daughters (Hannah, Mary, and Susannah) all married PUDERBAUGH (PUTERBAUGH/BUTTERBAUGH) brothers. Two stayed on in Pennsylvania.
