Biography

Birth: March 25, 1694 Guggisberg, Bern, Switzerland^[1]

Death: 1770, Cumru Township, Berks Co, PA^[2]

Johannes, the son of Christen Binggeli and Elsbeth Burri, was baptized March 25, 1694, at the Evangelische Kirche in Guggisberg, Kanton Bern, Switzerland.

He married Margaretha Wiessenbach in Alsace. He immigrated to America with his brother Peter on the ship Princess Augusta. Four men named Binkley are mentioned in the ship's records. "Hance," age 41 is Johannes. Peter, age 32, is Johannes' brother. The second Peter, age 28, is too old to be the son of either of the brothers, perhaps a nephew or cousin. The second Hance, at age 18, could easily be the son of the elder Hance.

On 25 Sep 1749 John BINGLEY took a warrant on 180 acres 133 perches & allowance, tract called Wheatfield, surveyed 24 May 1788 [Book A-27 p. 146, #59, coordinates C-4], not patented until 27 Mar 1803 to John Fisher [Book P-48, p. 509]. ^[3]

He continued to reside there until his death.

His will was signed September 19, 1770, and probated in Cumru Township, Berks Co., on October 11, 1770.^{[4] [5]}

-ALSACE FRANCE WIKIPEDIA: France consolidated her hold of Alsace with the 1679 Treaties of Nijmegen, which brought the towns under her control. France occupied Strasbourg in 1681 in an unprovoked action, and from 1688 onwards devastated large parts of southern Germany according to the Brûlez le Palatinat! policy. These territorial changes were reinforced at the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick which ended the War of the Grand Alliance, although the Holy Roman Empire did not accept and sign the document until 1697. However, Alsace had a somewhat exceptional position in the Kingdom of France. The German language was still used in local government, school, and education and the German (Lutheran) University of Strasbourg was continued and attended by students from Germany. The Edict of Fontainebleau, which legalized the suppression of French Protestantism, was not applied in Alsace. In contrast to the rest of France, there was a relative religious tolerance, although the French authorities tried to promote Catholicism and the Lutheran Strasbourg Cathedral had to be handed over to the Catholics in 1681. There was a customs boundary along the Vosges mountains against the rest of France while there was no such boundary against Germany. For these reasons Alsace remained marked by German culture and economically oriented towards Germany until the French Revolution.

1722- We would like to bring up the name of Anna Maria Barbara Binckele who was born 01 JUN 1722, in Alsace, Germany and if she came with Johannes "Hance", Peter, and their families in 1736, she would have been fourteen years old. Later she married in Germantown, PA to Matthias Meier/Meyer, he died about 1741 (Barbara would have been about nineteen or twenty years old.) They had two daughters, Catharine and Elizabeth. She then married Johannes Valentine Frey Sr. in East Cocalico Twp, Lancaster Co, PA on 29 APR 1742. (Notice that this is the same location as Muddy Creek mentioned below. And Hans Michael Binkley was found in Cocalico Twp.) Later Barbara and Valentine moved down to NC where she died in Stokes Co,NC. (Strangely enough this was near where Peter the Moravian lived and she is buried very near him. This kind of bridges a gap between this Johannes Binkley Sr. and Peter the Moravian. (See other report on Anna Barbara Binckele.)

PHILADELPHIA PENNSYLVANIA

"Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants in Pennsylvania," by Daniel Rupp, second edition published in 1876 on page 103... 1736- Johannes "Hance" Binkley Sr. came to America on 16 September 1736 on the ship Princess Augusta sailing out of Rotterdam with Samuel Merchant as the Master, they were with three other Binkley males. All together these four were...

1. Hance Pinkelie (Johannes Binkley) Sr. age forty one (born about 1694) (nine years older than Peter, the Moravian. We are sure that this is the Johannes Binkley who was married to Margaret and that he later died in Cumru, Berks Co, PA in 1770.)

2. Peter Pinkelie (Binkley) age thirty two (born about 1704, this is Peter, the Moravian, the only one known to have come from Guggisburg, Switzerland.) (He is four years younger than Peter listed below and eight or nine years younger than the above Johannes Binkley is. We now know that these first two, Hance "Johannes" Binkley and Peter Binkley the Moravian are brothers.)

3. Peter Pinkelie (Binkley) age twenty eight (born about 1708) (thirteen years younger than the above Hance and four years younger than the above Peter, the Moravian and ten years older than Hance Jr.) Who is this Peter? Who were his parents? Later he is found down the Shenandoah in Virginia. He had a son but that son only had daughters.

4. Hance "Johannes" Pinkelie (Binkley) Jr. age eighteen (born about 1718) (twenty three years younger than the above Hance (Johannes) and fourteen years younger than Peter the Morvanian and ten years younger than the unknown Peter # 3. Later two years in Cocalico Twp, Lancaster, PA then went with Peter above born 1704 to Codorus Twp, York Co, PA, then to around Thurmont, Frederick Co, MD where later they split up, Peter to NC and Johannes to Funkstown, Washington Co, MD where he died before 1800).

1736- I would also like to note something of interest and that is that on the same ship mentioned above, the Princess Augusta, were three men with the last name of Meyer: George 63, Jacob 45 and George 27. Anna Maria Barbara Binkley married a Matthias Meyer when she was 17. (See her memoirs) And on another list: Jerg Maier, George (X) Meyer, Jacob Meyer and Hendrick (H) Meyer. There is more on Meyer on page 165 of the book PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN PIONEERS by Ralph Beaver Strassburger. (Strange that these Meyer men came with the four Binkley men on the same ship and that Anna Barbara Meyer married a Meyer.)

1743- At this time Johannes Binkley Sr.'s son, Johannes Binkley Jr., had his daughter Susanna baptized and the sponsor at the baptism of her niece was also named, Susanna, at St. John's Reformed Church in Lower Heidelberg Township, Berks County PA on 19 July 1743.

1743- From the book HISTORY OF THE MUDDY CREEK REFORMED CONGREGATION, EAST COCALICO TWP., Lancaster COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, REV. Martin W.

The call is dated May 19, 1743. The signatures, which give us the first list of members at Muddy Creek, are well worth giving in full:" Here followed a long list of men from Muddy Creek Reformed congregation, one of those mentioned is Hannes Binckely (but which Hannes, Sr. or Jr.)
