(* Names with the Asterisks are the sons and daughters of Anna Barbara Schöne from her previous marriages in Germany to Blankenbaker and Schlucter. These children may have lived in the household of Cyriachus Fleischmann upon arrival and escaped notice in the official records.)

Those listed below with a ? have surnames closely related to John Jacob Rector and Rev. Henry Haeger. However, their place in the Little Fork Group is not proven.

The Church was formed by contract in London in 1717, but was not formally established with a location or a minister until 1733. The main part of the present building was built in 1740. Early records were kept, however they were haphazard. In later years they were organized by one of the ministers. The records begin in 1750. 

Many of the names appear in the list for the First Colony and the Little Fork Group. John Hoffman of the First Colony moved his family to the Robinson River Valley. Other First Colonists purchased land in the area and worshipped at Hebron. Among those names we find Back, Fishback, Kemper, Rector and of course Hoffman/Huffman.

Other names appearing are known relatives of the earlier 1717 settlers, while some are known neighbors of the 1714 settlers. For others they may not have had any connection by blood or homeland proximity to the actual Germanna Settlers, but may have moved here from Pennsylvania to settle in an area that was already strongly German. However, services at Hebron were conducted in German until 1823, so all of those listed would have been German speakers.

A few of these names are clearly German origin, however others are clearly English, Scottish, or Scotch/Irish.

Research is ongoing to attempt to understand these connections. Readers of this website are encouraged to send your findings to us to assist in learning the complete story of Germanna.
