Herman Henry emigrated to the as a young man and probably landed in Baltim
ore, Maryland in August 1853. He then travelled to Pittsburgh, where he es
tablished a sort of boarding house or halfway house for other German immig
rants while they where getting established in their new country. Herman He
nry died from complications following a broken hip. (Quelle: http://www.tr

Henry (as was usually, known) and Catherine settled in Pittsburgh, PA a
nd until his death operated a sort of hotel or boarding house for German i
mmigrants.This domicile provided a place where the new arrivals could comm
unicate in German eat German food and learn some of the basics needed to m
ake it on their own in America.
From all indications this was a profitable venture and they were ab
le to a mass a small fortune that was quickly dissipated by their childr
en through less than successful business enterprises of their own. After H
enry's death Catherine moved to Cincinnati, Hamilton Co., OH and lived wi
th my father's family until her death in 1909. (Howard Charles "Bud" Kover

Swiss Records of Bernhard Hersperger’s Immigration to the Colonies in 1772
“1772, I. Emigrants recorded in MP.
MP records the names of the heads of the emigrating parties followed by the number of the members of which each party consists in figures, the first denoting men, the second women and the third children. A few times also the father’s name is added and usually ‘unmarried’ in case of the single persons. Besides, the tax and manumission dues paid, or the release from their payment, are recorded as in 1771. The amount of the property on which the tax was levied and all other items have been taken from other sources.” p. 185

HON GEORGE H. SPANG, A leading lawyer of Hollidaysburg, an ex-district attorney of Bedford county,and an ex-member of the house of representatives of Pennsylvania, is a son ofGeorge B. and Sarah A. (Farquhar) Spang, and was born February 16, 1830, atRoaring Spring, in what is now Taylor township, Blair county, Pennsylvania,but which was then a part of Bedford county. His paternal grandfather, HenrySpang, was of German descent. He was born in Philadelphia, and in 1824 cameto Roaring Spring, where he died some years afterward. His son, George B.Spang (father), was born in Philadelphia, from which he removed to OleyForge, in Berks county, where he remained until 1822, when he came to RoaringSpring and purchased a tract of four hundred acres of land from John Ullery,upon part of which the larger part of the present flourishing town of Roaringspring was afterward built. He was superintendent of Springfield furnace forseveral years, and then engaged in farming, which he followed until hisdeath, which occurred August 15, A.D. 1856. He was an old-line whig inpolitics, and was a strict member of the Evangelical Lutheran church, and formany years prior to his death had been very active in the improvement of histown. He married Sarah A. Farquhar, a daughter of William Farquhar, by whomhe had nine children. Mrs. Spang was a native of Maryland, and died inSeptember, A.D. 1866. George H. Spang spent his boyhood days at Roaring Spring, and atfifteen years of age became a student in the preparatory department ofMarshall college at Mercersburg, Franklin county. After some time spent atthat institution he entered Pennsylvania college at Gettysburg, Adams county,from which he was graduated in the class of 1852. In the next year afterleaving college he became a law student in the office of Hon. Job Mann, ofBedford, this State, and on May 3, 1854, was admitted to practice in thecourts of Bedford county. He soon built up a fine practice at Bedford, andon May 9, 1856, was appointed district attorney of that county, to fill anunexpired term caused by the resignation of Col. Thomas A. Boyd. On October14, 1856, he was elected district attorney for a term of three years, wasreelected on October 11, 1859, and on November 3, 1874, was elected torepresent Bedford county in the house of representatives of Pennsylvania forthe sessions of 1875 and 1876; on November 3, 1876, was reelected and servedduring the sessions of 1877 and 1878. At the expiration of his term hereturned to Bedford, where he remained until 1883, when he came to RoaringSprings, which he left the succeeding year to open an office at Martinsburg,at which place he practiced up to December, 1891. He then came toHollidaysburg, and has already secured a first-class and very remunerativepractice. On November 25, 1862, Mr. Spang married Elizabeth J. Alsip, daughter ofSheriff John Alsip, of Bedford county, and they have one child, a daughternamed Carrie L., who is the wife of Rufus C. Haderman, a lawyer and thepresent prothonotary of Bedford county. In politics Mr. Spang has always been a democrat. While serving in theState legislature he was a member of several important committees, and wasrecognized as an able, logical and fluent speaker. He is above mediumheight, with rather classical features, and of fine personal appearance. George H. Spang stands well in his chosen profession as one who carefullyguards the interests of his clients, and who never neglects any proper meansto secure success in the many cases which he tries in the courts of Blaircounty.

I had the chance to view Andrew's gravestone in April, 2005. It is located in an unmarked cemetery on Route 38 just west of Pendleton, Madison County, Indiana.
Andrew's epiteth is very difficult to read as it was carved in a marble stone. It is believed it says-
"I am at rest weep not for me
From sin and death I now am free
Transplanted to my home above
I bloom where all is peace and love" | GIVENS, Andrew S. (I706)

I noticed in church yesterday that the St John stained glass window is in memorial of George L (Apr 18, 1806 - Aug 10, 1838) and George D. Leaf (Jun 5, 1829 - Dec 3, 1872). There are additional records I can check, in particular marriage
records. I think a Leaf was a past rector of the church. I am out of town right now so will check when I get home.

In March, 1883, it appears that his wife and 5 children joined him from Hesse, Germany. There is a reference in "Germans to America" of a woman and 5 young children coming on the Ship Westphalia to New York on March 27, 1883. She is listed as Friedke (age 29), with Albert (7), Arthur (2), Elise (.03), Emil (4), Line (5). It is speculated that Line is Lydia or it may be Lena who shows up in the 1920 census.

"The J. SPANG BAKING CO., a family-owned retail bakery that operated for 70 years, was established by German immigrant Julius Spang, who learned the baking trade in Germany, where he was born in 1852. He and his family came to the U.S. in 1882, and after settling in Cleveland, Spang opened a small bake shop on Barber Ave. in 1888. The J. Spang Baking Co. was incorporated in 1909 and continued to expand its operations through the years. By 1956 the company employed 433 people and operated the main plant at 2911 Barber Ave., another plant in Lorain, and a third in Akron. After the founder's death in Dec. 1950, the Spang family maintained control of the company until it was sold to the LAUB BAKING CO. in 1958.
Julius Spang's son, Emil, managed the Barber Ave. retail shop from 1900 to 1908 and then organized a second bakery under his own name. The Emil Spang Baking Co. was a wholesale bakery firm incorporated in 1913 and located at 1556 E. 24th St. He returned to his father's firm as a manager in 1922 but continued to operate his own bakery until 1950, when he sold it."

In the 1921-1922 New Haven Directory, Thomas H. Cox and James E. Connor are listed as the Law Firm of Cox & Connor, 865 Chapel Street.
Thomas Henry Cox, my grandfather and better known as Charlie Pop, was born in Scotland on January 31, 1876. He came to America with his mother and his sister, Anna, on the "State of Alabama" on March 2, 1880. His father had come earlier, but his exact arrival date is not known. They initially went to Philadelphia and lived briefly with his father's sister, Ellen Thompson. It is interesting to note that I always thought Charlie Pop was very frugal and a true Scot but I recently learned that his grandparents came from Ireland.
The family settled in New Haven, Connecticut, where James Cox worked as a Bicycle Maker. Young Tom must have had a lot of experience riding because as a teenager he began racing. At age 18, he won the "Veru Handicap Race". The newspaper article indicated it was a 10 mile race but that many of the 'crack' riders were not present as they had to ride Bennett and Co. wheels and some got an unfair handicap advantage. "Cox, the winner of the race, was given a start of 80 (30 secs - hard to read) seconds, when according to his time and reputation he could have been placed on scratch." My grandfather entered quite a few races in the 1890's, perhaps the most well-known being the Derby to New Haven race for which he won a silver loving cup which is in the possession of his grandson, H. Austin Spang. It should be noted that the bicycles at that time had the very large front wheel (60" diameter) and a small rear one, and were called "High Wheelers"
In 1896, Mr. Cox received his Bachelors of Law degree from Yale University which thus began his lengthy legal career. The New Haven (CT) Register; December 1, 1897 : "Appointed Asst. Town Clerk. The selectmen last night appointed Thomas H. Cox, Yale Law School, '96, Assistant Town Clerk. Mr. Cox has been acting in that capacity since the death of Michael T Snigg in March, last."
At about the same time, he began building houses with John Daly, his sister's husband. A number of these houses can be seen yet today on Sherman Av., Norton St. and 2 on Edgewood St. in New Haven. They also built a summer home in Woodmont, Ct. He would live in a house for a time, then sell it for a profit and move to another. This was the source of much of his wealth.
He enlisted in the Spanish American War and there is a picture of him in his uniform but the war was short-lived (3mos and 2 wks.) so he never saw action.
Somehow he managed to begin courting the love of his life, Adelaide Agnes Quin, from Bridgeport, and they were married in 1899. My sister, Nancy Spang Becque, indicated that he rode his bicycle to Bridgeport to court her and would read Shakespeare to her. He even took her a bust of Shakespeare on his bicycle. He would dote on her for the next 50 years, treating her like a precious and fragile porcelain doll. They had one child, a daughter, Mildred Virginia Cox, on April 23, 1900. He was well enough known in New Haven to rate this filler in the New Haven Register - "Cox Wears a Smile; Deputy Town Clerk, Thomas H. Cox, is receiving congratulations as Mrs. Cox presented him with a fine baby girl last night."
They lived on Sherman Avenue and appear there in the 1900 and 1910 censuses. Strangely, the 1920 census lists him as single, living with his parents on Clinton Av. in New Haven. This is probably an error and refers to his brother, Peter. Further research shows that his daughter's yearbook from Vassar lists her as living on Sherman Avenue in 1919, the year she graduated. I wonder if she and her mother traveled to Europe as a graduation gift so missed the 1920 census.
After leaving the position of Town Clerk, Mr. Cox became a very successful Real Estate Lawyer, first sharing an office with Mr. Connor; and later moved his office, by himself, to 177 Church Street, overlooking the green. (As a side note, I have one strong memory of that office which was a series of rooms strung together in single file. While some of the family were visiting with Charlie Pop, I wandered down to the last office and found a very large, heavy dictionary. Being about 6 and curious, I noticed a scale so managed to get the dictionary onto the scale. I was embarrassed to discover that it was a postage scale which promptly broke. I recall my mother scolding me but my grandfather being very gentle and forgiving.)
The Coxes would travel to Europe during the 20's on a number of occasions, returning with very beautiful glassware and knickknacks. Sometime during that period they purchased a home on McKinley Avenue in Westville where they would remain until 1948 when Adelaide passed away.
I think it would be fair to say that Tom was a little lost without Adelaide. Almost immediately, he moved to the Taft Hotel in New Haven and would spend the weekends with his daughter and 4 grandchildren, first in Middletown, Ct. and later in Longmeadow, Mass.
Charlie Pop always bought black Packards. It was my assignment to wash them and it was very important that I did not miss a spot as he would inspect my work and have me redo it if necessary. Black shows spots very easily so it was not uncommon for me to have to rewash and wipe a section of the car. By this time, he was a very wealthy man but being Scotch was very conservative. And yet, for High School Graduation, my sister received a two-tone green Pontiac, my twin brothers would receive a blue Ford sedan and I would receive a black Ford convertible!
Nana and Charlie Pop would always visit for Christmas and other times of the year. In the beginning, they must have gotten up very early because they would drive from Westville to Hamden, CT and be there early enough to announce that Santa Claus had been here for 4 eager grandchildren. His original nickname was Sugar Pop because he brought sugar cubes each time he visited. This tradition continued until sugar was rationed in World War II so his name got changed to Charlie Pop. He was so well known as Charlie Pop that strangers thought his first name was Charles.
