Notes for MICHAEL KREBS: Quoted From The Michael Krebs Descendancy, Compiled by William Hoyt Cribbs, Jr., @ The CRIBBS-KREBS-CREPS-KRIBBS Family History and Genealogy Homepage
"Wrote Mary Cribbs Winkler, "The first Cribbs ancestor was Michael Krebs, who owned a plantation of 350 acres in New Hanover Township in 1734. He was a naturalized citizen, having taken the Oath of Allegiance along with his two sons, Simon and Henry, in 1743. This was shortly before his death, which occurred in 1745. Records show his burial on Feb. 21, 1745 at the New Hanover Church. Since Michael was said to be 67 years of age at the time of his death he probably was born in 1677. "Michael Krebs evidently came during the first years of German immigration before definite records of passengers on the incoming ships were kept. He settled in Philadelphia County, which is now Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. "The Will of Michael Krebs may be found in the Philadelphia Will Book G, page 108. From this Will we learn that his wife's name was Barbara. His one daughter Anna Barbara was not to make any claim upon the estate since she had received her full share during his lifetime. "The younger son, John Henry, received the plantation and was to provide for the wife according to the specifications of the Will. John Henry was also to make certain payments to Simon's children as they came of age. To his disobedient son, Simon, he left 10 pounds. Also, each of Simon's children were to obligate themselves as they received their share to maintain their father, Simon, during his life, if he should want it. "Although Simon and his father must have had difficulties,his mother remembered him well in her Will which was dated March 18, 1751. She died six years after her husband. The New Hanover burial records show her burial on 24 September 1751. Since she was aged 75 years and several months, she must have been born around 1676." -- Mary Eva Cribbs Winkler in FAMILYHISTORYCRIBBS-KREBS/MUHLEYSEN-MILLIRON- MILLISON."

He may have learned this trade from his uncle Michael Fedele, Jr., who was also a potter. 3)An article found in the Penn Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 54 (1930), page 113 says "Christian Piercy, potter,...1774...offered a reward of $6.00 for a runaway apprentice boy, John Cribbs, aged 17, who either cared little of his master of did not aspire to be a potter." 4) John was a private in the 8th pennsylvania Continental Line during the Revolutionary War and was said to have served throughout the war. Joseph Kellogg notes in his "The Cribbs-Krebs Family" that he "attained the rank of Captain. After the war he held this rank in the Westmoreland County militia and at one time held the rank of Major. The Pa. Archives, 6th series, vol. 3, p. 1379, give a list of the militia officers in the First Battalion,"agreeable to election" of the Westmoreland 'malatia', dated July 7, 1789. The colonel was Christopher Truby, and the Major was John Cribs.
