JOHANN CASPER² KRIEGER,
(aka JOHANN CASPAR KRIEGER/KRUGER/CREAGER), son of Hans Ernst¹ Krieger & #3 Catharina Werner

The story of Johann Casper (s/o Hans Ernst Krieger) Krieger/Creager is an effort of many researchers in the United States and a distant cousin in Germany who have contributed to the information concerning our ancestral grandparents. Their names and specific contributions are noted within the biography. However, many shared the same information or validated the information that I already had accumulated.

I am especially indebted to Michael Alexander of Ft. Wayne, Indiana (dec'd 2009) and Kuno Krieger of Germany who have exchanged family information. Michael then shared with me the information that gave us more recorded facts concerning the family connections in Germany. As you can see from the information below, numerous dedicated researchers have contributed wonderful factual information to add credence to our KRIEGER-CREAGER-KRUGER history.

I would like to acknowledge help, contributions, and proofreading of this biography from Joe Creager. I am also indebted to Cheryl Creeger, Dana Creager and Paul Creager for their many documented contributions. I thank Alice Marie Bird for sharing her website information concerning her research of the Hoffarth family.

Please know that the information below is not to be considered a primary source and is not without errors. This biography is merely an attempt to organize the life of one Johann Casper Krieger/Creager/Kruger and his family as we know it at this time or assume it to be at this time. Much research, if found, needs to be recorded to fully understand the life of this our immigrant ancestor and the family who were our American pioneers.

If anyone notes any errors or has additional information to share, your contribution will be greatly appreciated. I am not offended by suggestions, etc. and would like the input of other researchers. It is my hope that as more information is unearthed that we can continue to build this family history. And...if I have failed to give credit where credit is due, please let me know.

JOHANN CASPER² KRIEGER (aka Johann Caspar KRUGER/CREAGER) was the ninth child of Hans Ernst¹ Krieger (baker & citizen [1] & [6])   and the sixth child of his third wife, Catharina Werner. [1]   Casper was born 28 July 1702 in Old Heidelburg, Palatinate Province, Germany. [1]    His family was apparently devote members of the Lutheran Church, so it would seem obvious that Casper was a baptized Lutheran.

Being twenty-six years of age, Johann Casper Krieger, weaver of Klein Gartach, Germany, was married 17 August 1728 at the Schwaigern Lutheran Church in Schwaigern, Germany to Anna Christina Hoffart(h), daughter of Hans Jerg Hoffart(h) and Anna Most/Mest/Mast. [1] & [6]   The marriage record names his father as Hans Ernst Krieger.  [1]

On 5 September 1729 [6] Anna Christina gave birth to their first child, Philip Casper Krieger in Germany. [1]   Little is known of this son at this time. Since Philip is named in records in America, it is obvious that he accompanied his parents to America at the time of their immigration.  [2]   However, nothing more is known of Philip. Did he live to marry and have issue?

Two years later, following the birth of Philip Casper, Johann Casper with apparently his wife and child immigrated to America. "Casper Criger" was numbered among the 260 persons who arrived at the Port of Philadelphia, District of Philadelphia on 29 August 1730 aboard the ship, Thistle [6] of Glasgow with Colin Dunlap, master, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes (England).  [Colonial Records III, p. 283]    [Rupp, "Thirty-Thousand Names of Immigrants to Pennsylvania, 1727-1776, p. 63] [6]   

We know that Anna Christina's father, Hans Jerg (aka Jorich, Jorick, Yerg, Yerrick) Hoffarth of Schwaigern, as "Jorick Hoffart" with wife ("Anna Margaret Hoffart") and 2 children ("Christian Hoffart" and "Anna Margaret Hoffart Jr.") immigrated 15 September 1729 to America and arrived at the Port of Pennsylvania, District of Philadelphia, on the ship, Allen.  [ Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild].   Hans Jerg Hoffart(h) is noted as being among the baptized members of the German Baptist Brethren Church in Europe and who came to America with Alexander Mack. Alexander Mack is considered to be the founder of the German Baptist Brethren Church and was also a passenger aboard the ship Allen.   [Honors to Alexander Mack by William G. Willoughby]   This church became headquartered in Germantown, Pennsylvania. [BRUMBAUGH, G. M., "A History of the German Baptist Brethren in Europe and America," p. 61]

Today descendants of this HOFFART(H) family are known by these surnames: Hoffarth, Hoffart, Hoffort, Hoffert, Huffert, Hufferd, Hufford, Hurford, Herford, etc., and can be found in the early records of Pennsylvania and Maryland.

It was here in Pennsylvania that their next son, Johann Christian Krieger, was born in 1731. No record of his birthdate, birthplace, or baptism has been found at this time, so his birthdate is based upon other records. Possibly we may find his records in the files of the German Baptist Brethren Church of Germantown or Philadelphia, if at that time period they were living with or nearby Anna Christina's parents or family. He and his brother, Philip, were both confirmed at the Falckner Church then in Philadelphia County.  [2]   It appears that we can assume that they were at least living somewhere in Philadelphia County.

About 1734 it appears that the young Casper Creager family may have settled in or near Oley Hills (aka Oley Mtns.), Pennsylvania. This area is believed to have been originally in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania at this early time period.   (Philadelphia County was an original county established in 1682.)   It was here that George Valentine "Velte" Krieger  [6]   joined the family when he was born on 09 February 1734 at the place called "Oley Mountains" according to church records of Rev. John Casper Stover. It was here (Philadelphia County) that a land warrant was issued in March of 1734 to Casper Creager.   [Pennsylvania Historical Society, Philadelphia, PA]   Valentine was baptized 2 March 1734 with one "John Georg Hoffert" as witness (perhaps his grandfather, aka Hans Jerg Hoffarth), also, according to church records. Valentine is the only child whose birth and baptism can be validated from church records at this time. Again we find the Hoffart(h)/Hoffert surname connected with the family in America. This would also appear to be the place and county of the other children's births between 1734-1752.

"Today, Oley is located...off Highway 73 between Basket and Manatawny in S. S.E Pennsylvania, NW of Philadelphia."   [Internet, 30 Jan 2002, CREAGER-yahoogroups: Dana Creager: MapQuest]   Joe Creager indicates, "The fact that there is a St. John's Hill Church (in the Oley Hills) located on Hill Church Road just a little over 6 miles NNW of Boyertown, Berks County, PA," plus..."the fact that Oley is further west, still in Berks County, convinces me that the correct location is Oley Hills, Berks County, PA."   [Internet, 30 January 2002, CREAGER-L: Joe Creager]  From all evidence, it appears that Casper and his family were devote Lutherans, and they supported the church of their beliefs. Dana Creager adds, "Casper's church in Oley was the St. Joseph's (Hill) Lutheran Church. He was an official there."  [5]   [Internet, 31 Aug 2001, E-mail to ASH: Dana Creager]   Years and generations later, many of this family line, still follow the teachings of this Protestant religion.

From the above information, we conclude that there is as strong possibility that the area of Casper's family's residence once in Philadelphia Co., PA is now located in what is Berks County, PA. Berks County, however, did not become Berks County until after Casper and his family had left the area. One reference says the children were born in Berks, Philadelphia County now near Reading, PA which later became Montgomery County, PA. Was there a village or town once called Berks? Others give the children's birthplace as Oley Hills, New Hanover, Montgomery Co., PA.  [3]   To truly determine where this place referred to as "Oley Mtns." was then, and is today, one would have to know the range, township, and section of the land warrants in Philadelphia County.

Casper's sojourn in Philadelphia County is supported by deed warrants and documents issued to one Casper Krieger (aka Kruger & Creager). On "8 March 1734" "Casper Creager" purchased "150 acres" in "Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania".   [Pennsylvania Archives - Third Series XXIV, 3rd Series, Warrantees of Land 1730-1898, p. 9]   The following year, son, Conrad, was born on 9 February 1735. With this birth, Casper and Anna Christina had become the parents of four sons.

On "15 April 1737" "Casper Kruger" purchased "25 acres" in "Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania."    [Pennsylvania Archives - Third Series XXIV, 3rd Series, Warrantees of Land 1730-1898, p. 27]   That same year a son, Adam, was born to the couple. Then along came their first daughter, Anna Catharina, on 13 May 1740, and their son Michael joined the family in 1742. This birth was followed by yet another recorded land purchase of "25 acres" in "Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania" on 17 November 1744 to Casper Kruger.    [Pennsylvania Archives - Third Series XXIV, 3rd Series, Warrantees of Land 1730-1898, p. 27]   Within the next five years two more sons followed Michael: Heinrich on 31 December 1746 and Georg whose life was apparently cut short was born on 27 September 1747.

Some land was sold 13 May 1751 consisting of 25 acres in Philadelphia County.   [Pennsylvania Archives - Third Series XXIV, 3rd Series, Warrantees of Land 1730-1898, p. 28]    Another son named Georg joined the family on 12 July 1752 bringing the total number of known children of Casper and Christiana to ten.

[NOTE: The above manuscript (Myers, p.3) indicates the May 13, 1751 transaction was an acquisition, while other resources indicate this date was a sale date. This manuscript (Myers, p. 3) also indicates that the land in Pennsylvania was sold in 1751.]

There is somewhat of a mystery surrounding Caspar Creager and perhaps his family. Some twenty year later after Caspar Krieger arrived in America, a Caspar Krieger arrived on the snow, Louisa, on 8 November 1752 which also docked at Philadelphia. [Definition: snow: A snow rig was a ship with two masts and square sails on each. It was distinguished from a brig by having an extra small mast fitted abaft the main lower mast. This was known as the trysail mast and was set with a spanker sail (fore-and-aft triangular sail).] A speculative theory suggests that Caspar returned to his homeland for a visit, and thus was the one who returned from his visit aboard the snow Louisa. Subsequent records tend to substantiate this theory that the two recordings were then for the same man. Now if the last child was born in July 1752, would the entire family have returned for a visit, or would Casper have left his family to return to the fatherland? By this time Casper and Anna Christina were the parents of nine known children. Dana Creager believes, "Casper sold his holdings in Oley on May 13, 1751 and returned to Germany for 6 mo., then settled in Maryland upon his return. He came back on the ship Snow Louisa arriving on Nov. 11, 1752." [Internet, 31 Aug 2001, E-mail to ASH: Dana Creager]

Just when Casper and his family arrived in Frederick County, Maryland from Pennsylvania County, Pennsylvania is unknown. He was still in Philadelphia County on 20 May 1753 when his children Adam and Anna Catharina were listed as "catechumens." [3] Had he and the family relocated to Maryland by 1754? Land was purchased in Maryland in 1754, 1756, and 1762. "At his death he owned more land than be accounted for by these purchases. Early purchases may be recorded in Prince George Co. Land Records, Vol. P, pg. 493, dated Sept. 5, 1772, lists all the tracts owned by Casper at the time of his death and also gives the names of his heirs, as well as their wives and the husband of his one daughter. [4]

Casper's land holdings were located from [what is now] Ceresville (Israel's Creek) east through Mount Pleasant, possibly as far as Libertytown...north near Walkersville. A CREAGER-LINK Cemetery is also found in Libertytown, MD. The LINKs had intermarried into the CREAGER family.  [Internet, 28 August 2001, E-mail to ASH: Dana Creager)
Dana says to view a map, go to MapQuest, type in "Libertytown, MD," and "you can zoom in or out for a closer view."

On 5 September 1763 Casper Creager as "Casper Kruger" of Frederick County, Pennsylvania, wrote his last will and testament; and by 1 October 1765 his will was entered into probate in Frederick County, Pennsylvania. Most wills were usually probated within days, if not weeks, of a person's decease, so we might assume that Casper died in September, 1765. And...5 year later, by 10 August 1770, the final accounting of his estate was recorded into court records.
