Thank you for visiting our genealogy site. The purpose of this site is to provide to those interested, much information on the Druckemiller Family.
As of today, our family heritage has been traced as far back as circa 1753, when Peter Truckenmiller arrived on the ship (The Beulah) from Germany.
A big Thank You goes out to Agnes! This report was originally researched and compiled by Agnes Landis. She spent many hours and travel, to bring us this information.
Peter arrived on the British ship (The Beulah), and took the oath of allegiance to the British government at the port of entry "Philadelphia", on September 7,1753. He evidentally became a resident of Heidelberg Township, Lancaster County,Pa.
He was assessed in Penn Twp. for the first time in 1771, having arrived in this section with the Herrolds, Meisers,etc. who came at the same time. The evidence indicates that he returned to Heidelberg Twp., because he was listed there as a resident, but not a landowner in 1772. His name does not appear on the Penn Twp. list until 1780, indicating that he may have remained in Lancaster County during the worst Indian raids in the section.
In 1781 he was taxed with 150 acres and personal property in Penn Twp., and in 1789, he was granted a warrant of survey for 889 additional acres in Northumberland, now Snyder County.
Peter died in Penn Twp. in 1790, the same year that his son "Frederick" died. His will is recorded at Sunbury,Pa., and mentions his wife "Anna Mary" and their children "Frederick and Elizabeth Stefser (intended probably for Steffen).
The compiler believes that Peter served on the Lancaster or Northumberland County Militia, but, did not find a record. Peter was born about the year 1722. Later data shows that Johann Frederick and his sister Elizabeth (Mrs. Andrew Haeffer or Heffer).
Each inherited 180 acres of land from their father when he died early in 1790. Frederick's land after his death was sold to Andrew Morr and his sons, and later to Mathias Spots of Berks County.
