I am looking for information about Johann Gottfried Kring/Gring.
According to information I found on familysearch.org and other websites, he
was born about 1729 in �Hundsruch, Rheinland-Pfalz� and was christened on 28
July 1729 at �Evangelisch-Lutherische, Anhausen, Rheinland, Pressen.� In
1752 he sailed from Rotterdam, then Cowes UK, on the ship �Two Brothers� and
arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in September 1752. On the ship
passenger list his last name is spelled �Krieng.� Early Pennsylvania
records of this family include both the Gring and Kring spelling.
His wife was named Anna Martha and the family settled in Berks County,
Pennsylvania, and my family descends from their son, Heinrich/Henry. We
would like to know if Johann Gottfried Gring/Kring is related to the
brothers Johan Jost Kring and Johan Heinrich Kring who came to America from
Haiger-Seelbach in 1751, also aboard the ship �Two Brothers.�
I would appreciate suggestions about finding more information about the
Kring/Gring family in the Hundsruch region, the Lutheran Church in Anhausen,
or about any connections to the Kring family in Haiger-Seelbach.
Thank you,
Susan Kring
