  • Note*: Three brothers: Christian, Jacob and David came to America in 1727 as
    indentured servants, via the Port of Philadelphia, serving in Chester
    County, PA. They came from the Palatinate section of Germany. It seems
    the family originated in the Co. of Konolfingen, Canton of Bern, in
    1389. In 1669 a Christian Gingrich escaped from jail, in Bern, and fled
    to Germany. He was jailed for preaching the Anabaptist belief. The
    family is mentioned next in America in Conestoga Township, Lancaster
    County, PA assessment list of 1724. The family migrated down the valley
    into Virginia, Maryland and west to the Mississippi river. They were of
    many beliefs: Mennonites, Quakers and Amish. According to family
    tradition, Jacob Kingery, son of Capt John Gingery, Revolutionary Army
    1777, was converted to a Brethren when he married Susan Hubermal Watson
    (a widow) in 1822.

    Christian Kingery and John Kingery of Warwick Township, Lancaster Co.,
    PA became naturalized citizens in 1765. They scrupled to take an oath.

    An inventory of Christian's possessions dated August 15, 1778 contains
    eight different spellings of the surname: Gingerich, Gingirich,
    Gingerig, Gingrich, Gingry, Kingery, Kingry, Kingirie and Kingree.
