Merle,

I believe my ancestor Jacob Brewbaker lived for a time in the Upper Antietam Hundred before moving on to Petersburg near Hopewell Township, Huntingdon County, PA between 1790 and 1800. Before that he may have been from the Cocalico Twp. area of Lancaster Couny (or thereabouts). We think that his family were Brethren before they arrived in America around 1754 from the Palatinate.

Anyone know anything about any of these immigration patterns?

I can't give you the exact limits of Upper Antietam Hundred -but the
Antietam Hundred was along the Antietam Creek -going north from the
Potomac - east side of Hagarstown MD. Upper Antietam would have gone on
north from there into what is now near Waynesboro PA. Please remember that
in those early days -there was no exact line between Maryland and
Pennsylvania.

I caught with interest the marriage to Elizabeth Rummel. While there was at
least one other Rummel family at Gettysburg (1780s) -several of my family
line stopped temporarily at Zullinger (west of Waynesboro -north of
Hagarstown) before some went on to near Johnstown (Rummel PA) and a number
of the siblings to the Ohio-Pennsylvania Line -near Youngstown OH. Only
those near Johnstown PA and my Great Grandfather Isaiah Rummel who came to
Nappanee IN were Brethren, as far as I know.
