  1. 2.  SPANG, Matthias was born 17 Dec 1774 (son of SPANG, Mattheus and ???, Sophia, son of SPANG, Mattheus and \, Sophia \); died 08 Oct 1846; was buried Lutheran Cemetery, Sharpsburg, Maryland.

    Notes:

    Little was known of Matthias until I stumbled across a listing on World Connect Project for Matthias Spong. His father was listed as Hans George Spang/Spong who changed his name in 1752. It also listed George and Frederick Spong whom I know as the sons of Hans George Spang. It also listed a Leonard Spong without additional information. Many researchers attempt to connect Leonard/ Leonhardt Spang to Hans George Spang but the relationship has not been established. I have attempted to correspond with the creator of the Spong material but he has failed to answer three requests. This material is added as a possible connection with the source of Spong.ftw listed to show its source.

    There does appear to be a discrepancy between Mattheus, born about 1759 and Matthias born 1774. It is established that a Matthias was christened in 1774 as the son of Matthias and Sophie at Dunkel's Church in 12 25/1774. I have been unable to find the marriage of Matthias and Sophie as yet.

  1. 8.  SPANG, Hans George was born Abt 1725, Wurtenburg, Germany; died UNKNOWN, Heidelburg Township, Berks County, PA.

    Notes:

    Hans George Spang arrived in Philadelphia on 26 August 1751 on the ship "Anderson" and settled in Greenwich Township, Berks County, PA. An unproven narrative says that prior to his arrival in America, he had served with the Luxembourg army in Europe and for some violation of the rules of that army, he was forced to flee to America.

    His wifes name was Anna Margaretha. They were married in Germany. On the tax lists of 1767-1768, he appears as a weaver in Greenwich Township owning 50 acres of land. He later moved to Heidelberg Township where he died.
    There was a Hans Jerg Spang christened 11 December 1676 at Wurttenberg Jagstkreis Jagstzell , Katholisch Church son of Andreas and Catharina Spang. Although this is too early for our Hans George's birth, there may be a relationship.

    Came to America from Wurttemberg, Germany on 8/25/1751 from Rotterdam to Philadelphia on the ship, Anderson. uncertain if wife was with him
