Looking for ancestors of Veith Bruninger b. abt. 1696 who traveled from Palatinate, Germany to Philadelphia with his wife Barbara and children Adam, Anna and Hans aboard the Britannia in 1731. Their name was Americanized to Brinegar. I descend from Veith, Adam, John, Jacob and then Anna Brinegar who married David Mocabee in KY in 1836. I have a photo of Anna if anyone is interested. Does anyone have info on Veith's life or ancestors prior to coming to America?

So far as I know, nobody's ever gotten further back on this line in Europe, nor is there even any solid proof that the child Adam in the immigration records is the Adam Brinegar who settled in Rowan Co. NC. I'm working on the assumption that this is correct, but if anyone has documentation, I'd love to have it.

My Brinegar page is at

I'm a descendant of Adam's son Jacob.

I would be very interested in a picture of Anna. I descend from Veith, Adam, Jacob, Jacob, then another Jacob. My email is Dreamgrdn@aol.com. I have seen some accounts of Veith's life before coming to America but I don't know how accurate they are. Joy Alexander is a good source of info on the Brinegar's. She may reply to this info if she sees it posted.

Elizabeth, thanks for the info. I find I did print out your family page that contains interesting info several years ago and have it in my file.

Dreamgarden, I'm sending you Anna's photo and gravestone photo directly.

I, too, have been researching the Brinegar family. I am a descendant of Veith as well. I would appreciate any information and documentation that anyone has.

What is your lineage from Veith
