THE
GLONINGER/KLONINGER/CLONINGER Family
ANNA BARBARA SCHWAB and her husband Philip Gloninger/Kloninger/Cloninger
were the ancestors of many noted descendants in the medical and legal fields.
Their story as told in the History of the Swope Family by Gilbert E. Swope
is as follows:
,,Anna Barbara Swope(3) John(2), Yost(l) the fourth child of John and
Anna Dorothea (Line) Swope, was born in the homestead in Upper Leacock
Township Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 12 March 1731. Her father had
employed on the farm a young man named Philip Gloninger, who won the affections
of the daughter, Anna Barbara. He being an industrious and capable man,
met with favor in the eyes of the father and married the daughter. Philip
Gloninger was born in the Palatinate, Germany, and was one of the sufferers
from the desolation of that fair country. He came to America at about twenty-eight
years of age. After the marriage of Philip and Anna Barbara, they moved
to Lebanon Township (now Lebanon County) where they lived until death.
The old Gloninger home is still standing on the Quitapahilla Creek. In
early days it was known as the Gloninger "Fort." During the Indian
Wars, it was used as a place of refuge by the inhabitants of the surrounding
country against the Indians. "It is a good specimen of the solid architecture
of the early days, with its piked roof and original port holes for windovs,
and serves as an interesting landmark because here the first Gloninger
lived from whom has descended locally quite an illustrious family. (From
Ancient and Historic Landmarks in the Lebanon Valley) George, son of Philip
and Anna Barbara Gloninger, seems to have been the oldest and remained
on the old homestead as farmer. Philip died 11 December 1796 and Anna Barbara,
23 September 1810. They are both buried in the graveyard of the Reformed
Church at Lebanon, Pennsylvania."
Philip ,,Kloningher" received a warrant for 200 acres of land
in Lancaster County, 21 December 1749. He erected the first grist mill
in West Donegal Township on the Conoy Creek in Lancaster County in 1749.
At least three of their children were born here. John George ,,Kloninger"
was born 30 June 1754 and christened at Blaser's Reformed Church in Donegal
Township, 18 July 1754. Catarina was born 22 Noverter 1756 and Johannes
(John) was born 19 Septerter 1758 and christened 25 April 1759 at
Blaser's Reformed Church. On the 5th of February 1759 Philip Gloninger
purchased a lot in Lebanon Town from George Stites. For this lot number
107 he was to pay six shillings rent per year and was to erect a substantial
dwelling house sixteen feet square with a good chimney of Brick or Stone
to be laid in or built with lime and sand within eighteen calendar months
from the first of January last past." He sold this lot the sixth of
November 1762. The 209 acres in Donegal Township he sold to John ,,Neesly"
of Laneaster County for sixteen pounds, 20 March 1764.
Philip Gloninger and Anna Barbara Schwab had at least eight children.
(See FGS Page 1367). John George Gloninger, the eldest son, became a farmer
and married Maria Funck, the daughter of a neighbor, Martin Funck. (See
page 1370). Their daughter, Anna Maria Gloninger, married Christian Schwob,
grandson of Jakob Schwob I (see volume 1).

ANOTHER PHILIP KLONINGER
On the thirteenth of October 1747 anong the passengers arrivng in Philadelphia
on the ship "Two Brothers" was a Johann Phillipus Kloninger,
but it is doubtful that this man was the Philip Gloninger that rnarried
Anna Barbara Schwab even though he did spell his name vith a "K"
as well as a "G". From 1751 to 1767 a Johann Philipp Kloninger
was living in Richmond and Windsor townships, Berks County, Pa. His wife
was Maria Charlotta Wildt. They were having children between 1751 and 1757
whose baptisms are recorded in the records of Zion Lutheran Church of Moselem,
Richmand Township and in ttose of Rev. Daniel Schumacher. This man's name
is recorded as Johann Philipp KLoninger and as Philipp Kloninger, while
Anna Barbara Schwab's husband is always called Philip Kloninger or Gloninger.
I would conclude that the Johann Phillipus Kloninger that arrived on the
ship ,,Two Brothers" in 1747 could easily have been the Johann Philipp
Kloninger who was living in Richmond and Windsor townships in Berks County
from 1751 to 1767.
JOHAN VALENTIN KLONINGER
Another Kloninger arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Loyal Judith"
and qualified in Philadelphia on the third of September 1742. He was Seventeen
years old and signed his name Johan Valentin Kloninger. Further research
shows us that this young man was the brother of our Philip Kloninger who
settled in Lebanon. No others of the Gloninger surname or its various spellings
appear on the shipping lists of Philadelphia prior to 1755.
On the 28th of October 1752 Valentine Kloninger, brother of Philip of
Lebanon, received a patent for 150 acres of land in Derry Township, Lancaster
County. On the seventh of November 1752 he sold this property on the Swatara
Creek to Charles Willing of Philadelphia for 300 pounds. We next find Valentine
"Cloninger" (it is always spelled this way in the Augusta County
records) in Augusta County, Virginia as a witness to a deed, 26 May 1771
(Deed Book XVII, page 237). He was a constable there in 1773 and 1775.
On the fifteenth of April 1783 he was appointed administrator of the estate
of Jonathon Dunbarr. Valentine Cloninger wrote his will 18 September 1783
and it was proved 19 May 1784. He names in his will: Nicholas Spring; Catharine
Spring, daughter of Nicholas; ,,my nephew, Philip Cloninger;" and
,,my wife, Catharine Cloninger. On the 24th of July 1799 his wife, Catharine,
now the wife of Samuel Merritt wrote her will. She left ,,to her good friend
and relation, Augustine Argenbright, executor," part of the estate
left her by her late husband, Valentine Cloninger. One of the witnesses
was Jacob Swoope. (This Jacob Swoope was the first mayor of Staunton, Augusta
County, VA and the son of Col. Michael Swope of York County, Pa. and Alexandria,
Va. See page 1351).
In Augusta County Deed Book 49, page 437, Catharine Cloninger, widow
of Philip Cloninger of Lancaster, Pa., granted to Jonathan Helfenstein
of Frederick County, Maryland, her son-in-law, the land left by Valentine
Cloninger of Augusta County to Philip Cloninger. (FGS p. 1367) Isar)

JOHN GEORGE GLONINGER(4) (ANNA MARIA SCHWAB(3), JOHANNES SCHWAB(2),
JOST SCHWAB(1))
JOHN GEORGE GLONINGER, SR. (No. 1, page 1367), Son of Philip Gloninger
and Anna Barbara Schwab, was born 30 June 1754 in Donegal township, Lancaster
County, Pennsylvania and christened at Blaser's Reformed Church in Donegal
township the 18th of July 1754. In 1764 his father sold the farm and grist
mill in Donegal township to John Nissley and purchased a farm in Lebanon
township the same year. This farm adjoined the farms of Rev. John Casper
Stoever of the Lutheran Church and of Martin Funck, a Mennonite from Richen,
Baden, Germany. George fell in love with his neighbor's daughter, Maria
Funck, and they were married in the Reformed Church although the record
of their marriage has not been found. They had six children, but we have
record of five only. (See FGS page 1370). Two of the children died while
still young - Johannes, the eldest son, and Philip, the twin brother of
Elisabetha. Johan Goorg was an avid student. His mathematics journal
dated 1801 when Georg was twelve years old, is in possession of John Adam
Swope of Union Deposit, Pa. (See illustration, page 1380). He studied medicine
and was a physician in Philadelphia until his death the 19th of July 1849
from inflammation of the intestines. The daughter Elisabetha, a twin, married
Jacob Shafer at Salem Lutheran Church the 23rd of July 1809. They had five
children: Isaac, born 23 February 1811; Henry, born 8 September 1812; Philipp
and Kate.
George Gloninger' s daughter, Anna Maria (Mary), married Christian
Schwob, son of Jacob Schwob II and Elisabeth Brandt, at Tabor Reformed
Church, 10 October 1815. They had six children. (See FGS page 144
). She died the 28th of September 1828; her funeral was conducted at Christ
Lutheran Church near Stouchsburg, Berks County, Pa. Her place of burial
is unknown.
George Gloninger, Sr. wrote his will the 20th of December 1822. He
willed that his property be sold and the monies divided among his three
children, George Gloninger, Elisabeth Shafer, and Mary Schwob. He does
not mention bis wife. so we conclude that she died before December 1822
when the will was written. His burial the 9th of April 1831 is recorded
in the churchbook of Salem Lutheran Church of Lebanon. It states that he
was baptized, confirmed, and married in the Reformed Church and had six
children.
In Lebanon County Deed Book F, Page 494-497 is a record of settlementt
of the estate of "George Gloninger, yeoman, late of Lebanon Township"
dated 3lst of March 1832 in which John Gloninger (George's brother) and
Daniel Miller, executors of his will sell to John W. Gloninger, M.D. (George's
nephew, son of his brother, John or Johannes) of the Borough of Lebanon
for $7,100.60 the 99 acres adjoining the land of Martin Funk, Samuel Light,
John Stover, and John Iaudermilch with the mansion house and other buildings,
and 31 acres adjoining David Snavely, Martin Funck, the Irish churchyard,
Widow Wier, and Joseph Light, and a seven acre Out lot adjoining the property
of Christian Geib.

THE FUNCK AND WENGER FAMILIES
MARIA FUNCK, wife of John Georg Gloninger, was born about 1763, the
daughter of Martin and Judith (Wenger) Funck who lived on a farm in Lebanon
Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Her ancestors were Swiss Mennonites
for several generations.
Her father, Martin Funck and his brother, Hans, arrived at the Port
of Philadelphia on the ship "Brotherhood" the third of November
1750. He was born 30 January 1732 in Richen, Baden, a village about fifteen
kilometers south of Sinsheim, the village where Jost Schwab was born. Martin
Funck was the son of Hans Funck II, who died at Richen in 1752 andleft
five children: (1) Heinrich Funck, a farmer in Richen who inherited the
money coming from the sale of hie father's estate; (2) Jakob Funk; (3)
Martin Funck (our ansestor); (4) Hans Funck, who also came te Pennsylvania;
and (5) a daughter.
Hans Funck II, vho died in Richen in 1752, was the son of another Hans
Funck of Richen, a farmer and Mennonite preacher of the Mennonite parish
of Streichenberg. He died at Richen the fifth of September 1734 at the
age of seventy three. He is believed to have been the son of Heinrich Funck
of Zurich, Switzerland who was condemned to be branded with hot irons and
banished from Switzerland, 30 November 1670 because he was a "Stubborn
leader and teacher". After branding hirn, the swiss authorities took
him over the border of Switzerland into Burgundy. He could not speak the
language and wandered about for three days. When he did receive help and
was disrobed to bind his wounds, the matter ran down his back. Later he
settled in Amt Hilsbach, the area in which the village of Richen is located.

near Zweibrucken in the Rhineland Palatinate, Germany. Her father was Hans
Wenger, Jr. son of Hans Wenger, Sr. a Mennonite weaver of Canton Berne,
Switzerland. Hans Wenger, Sr. died before the family emigrated to Pennsylvania.
Because of persecution in Switzerland, Hans Wenger, Jr. moved to a village
near Zweibrucken when he was a young man. He arrived in America on the
ship "Patience" the sixteenth of September 1748. He brought with
him his family of five sons and two daughters: Stephen, Christian, Hans
(John), Abraham, Martin, Judith and Maria. They settled near Jonestown,
Lebanon County, Pa., where he and many members of his family are buried

CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS FOR VOLUME TWO
It has been reported that Volume Two is difficult to follow and
understand because some of the page numbers in the references have been
omitted by mistake. In the rush to publish the Book by June 1972 Volume
Two was not proofread as carefully as Volume One and because of this it
is confusing. Included here are some additions and corrections which should
make the Book easier to understand and the generations easier to follow
if these are added to your books.
