  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
