The origin of the name Leimbach” to “Leinbach.
Johannes Leinbach Sr. is apparently the person who changed the spelling of the family name from “Leimbach” to “Leinbach,” and he may have done it deliberately. In a document in the Moravian Archives in Bethlehem PA, he acknowledges the spelling of his father’s name with an “m” while spelling his own name with an “n.” More research in Germany needs to be done, but DJL’s current “best guess” as to the name-change is as follows:
The family may have taken its name “Leimbach” from their lords, the “von Leimbach” family, who owned the region in the late Middle Ages, but there is no evidence to date we were descended from them. The von Leimbach family had died out in the 1500’s, and the Von Riedesel family owned the land on which Johann Heinrich Leimbach was born in 1649 -- one branch of which still maintains a castle called “Eisenbach” near Lauterbach. The Baron von Riedesel lives in the town of Lauterbach.
The word “Leim” in the late Middle Ages meant something like “clay” as well as “glue.” Currently the word “Lehm” is used for “clay,” and “Leim” means “glue,” the kind made from animal bones and horse hoofs. The word “Lein-” has to do with flax and linen. “Bach” means “brook.”
DJL speculates that Johannes Leinbach Sr., a school teacher and perhaps a bit pedantic, may have thought he was going back to the true origin of the name by changing it from “Leimbach” to “Leinbach.” He knew his father had been a linen-weaver in his youth in an area where flax was a major crop and therefore felt that “Lein” might have been part of his name. Johannes Sr. may also have thought that people had been making the “mistake” of pronouncing “Leinbach” as “Leimbach,” the way we tend to pronounce the m-b combination as “raimbow” instead of “rainbow” in normal conversation. Johannes may have also wanted to distance the name from the word “Leim,” which by this time was taking on the regular meaning of “glue” and losing its old meaning of “clay.” There may be better explanations of the name-change, but this one seems reasonable to DJL at present
I would like to thank Don Lineback for give me his records on the Leinbach family. He has had wonderful help collecting his records. As I go along with editing my web page on the Linebaugh family. I will be useing initial for persons who have help me and Don Lineback to make my web page more accurate. For the whos initial I use look for their name once in ().

LG Thinks that Johannes Heinrich Leinbach father could be Abraham.There was a head-of-household in Gerterode in 1656 named Abraham, the only Leimbach on a list of people in the town who swore fealty to the younger sons of the Landgraf ( = count/duke/prince) of Hesse.
LG finds in the records of Braach (just west of Rotenburg an der Fulda) dated 1663 the baptism of the son of Johann Daniel Leimbach. The son was named Johann Heinrich Leimbach, and the sponsor was unknown to the pastor. Given that the child was usually named for the sponsor, and that often sponsors were young persons who had just been confirmed around the age 13, the sponsor could well have been our Johann Heinrich Leimbach. There were at least 3 or 4 Leimbach families in the parish of Braach, and most of them seem to have lived in the village of Atzelrode, which is just over the mountain from Gerterode, and which was made a separate parish sometime after 1718.
LG finds no evidence that there was a church in Gerterode in 1649. This needs to be researched further, since villagers in Gerterode speak of the “old church” that the “new” one, built in the eighteenth century, replaced. DJL wonders whether Johann Heinrich was baptized in Gerterode, the village where he was born. If there was a chapel in Gerterode and it did have a visiting minister, the baptism could have take place there. But LG believes it more probable that it took place in Beenhausen, the mother church of Gerterode.
Johann Heinrich moved to Langenselbold (about 25 miles east of Frankfurt). In Langenselbold he met and married Barbara, whose parents lived there. After their marriage in 1672 Johann Heinrich and Anna Barbara settled in Langenselbold, and their first five children were born there. They moved from Langenselbold to Hochstadt between 1685, when Anna Margaretha was born, and 1689, when their last son Andreas was born (LG). LG also notes that the marriage record of Johann Heinrich’s son Johannes (Sr.) indicates that the Johann Heinrich and Anna Barbara lived in Altenhasslau at some time between 1689 and 1708.

LG notes that Johann Heinrich was called a “Schuldiener” and “Schulmeister” after he and his family moved to Hochstadt in the late 1680’s, which position he held at the time of his son Johannes (Sr.)’s marriage. LG’s source of information (Frau Marjorie Heppe, Gesellschaft für Familienkunde in Kurhessen und Waldeck e.V., Postfach 101346, 34013 Kassel, Germany) notes that “Schuldiener” and “Schulmeister” were interchangeable, meaning approximately “schoolmaster

The following sketch of Johann Heinrich Leimbach’s itinerary was gathered by LG:
1700 in Altenhasslau,Germany was Called Schulmeister in records of son Johannes (Sr.)’s marriage.; 1703 in Hochstadt, Germany was Called Schuldiener on occasion of birth of Johann Friedrich. ; 1705 in Oberdorfelden, Germany was Called Schuldiener (but LG is uncertain this is our JHL.); 1708 in Oberdorfelden, Germany was Called Schulmeister in records of daughter Anna Elisabeth’s marriage.; 1716 in Oberdorfelden, Germany was Called Herr Schulmeister at his death; buried in Oberdorfelden.
The Johannes Leinbach Sr. family settled in PA on a 250-acre farm (which grew to 400+ acres) about 2 miles south of the settlement of Oley, also known as Friedensburg, for which land Johannes Sr. paid quitrent (= a small payment toward purchase of land) before 1734 (IWV). The property, with a log farmhouse, was bought from the Stovers/Staubers. They were a Swiss couple who, historian Phillip Pendleton believes, may have built the house around 1713. Mrs. Stover was the aunt of Daniel Boone, who was born in 1734 a few miles away. (See Philip E. Pendleton’s Oley Valley Heritage, The Colonial Years: 1700-1775, which is a highly informative book on the Oley Valley houses and history.) The log house, on a stone foundation, survived into the 20th century, but has now been lost. There is a photo of the house on page 114 of Pendleton’s Oley Valley Heritage -- The Colonial Years: 1700-1775 (Kutztown, PA, 1994
The stone house built about 1735 (according to Pendleton) on the Leinbach (now called the Leinbach-Knabb) farmstead, owned in the 1990s by Don Aloan. The stone house stands behind a newer house (dated 1841 on a marker in the front wall, but it was possibly an expansion or renovation of an earlier-built house, according to Pendleton) on Wiest School Road just off Moravian School Road. The original section (the kitchen and central section) was likely built by Johannes Jr., who sold the house to the Knabb family and moved with his wife and 7 children to North Carolina. As of June 1988 the house is still standing.
Johannes Sr. and Elizabeth arrived in America with family on Sept 11, 1723; son Friedrich was 20 years old, Heinrich 17, Johannes Jr. 11, Johanna Maria 8, and Maria Barbara 1.

In 1742 Count Zinzendorf visited in the home of Johannes Sr. (BA), as did Moravian Bishop David Nitschmann, who married their daughter Maria Barbara. Count Zinzendorf inducted Johannes Leinbach Sr. as "Vorsteher" (deacon) of the Moravian congregation in Oley on Apr 9, 1742, when Leinbach was 68. Elizabeth was received into the Moravian Church on Dec 11, 1742 along with several children. He was called "Father Leinbach" in Bethlehem; she, "Mother Leinbach." This association with the Moravians led son Friedrich to move to the English-speaking Moravian settlement of Graceham MD, son Johannes Jr. to purchase and move to Moravian land near the church settlement of Bethania NC, and daughter Maria Barbara to become a missionary
I have meet the Ancestor of Count Zinzendorf and he sent me the following on Count Zinzendorf
History of Nikolaus' family:
The Zinzendorf family is a ancient Austrian aristocratic family from Lower Austria to be precise. Their estates were all near St. Poelten which is roughly between Vienna and Salzburg. They were very rich and influencial. The direct (paternal) line of Nikolaus can be traced back without a gap until c. 1150 AD. Among the various maternal lines we have ancestors from the Royal houses of Poland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Germany which can be traced back a further few hundred years and most present monarchs these days are descendants of the Zinzendorfs to some point, yes a lot of them married rather well.
During the reformation, a lot of the Zinzendorfs became Lutherans and because of their religious belief they were forced to leave Austria .... thats how they ended up in Saxony, Germany. Nevertheless they made sure that at least one member stayed catholic - to look after their vast estates back in Austria. Eventually the family died out in 1813 and the last Count von Zinzendorf u. Pottendorf adopted his great nephew, grandson of his sister who was married to a Count von Baudissin, an ancient saxon family from Bautzen near Dresden. With Royal approval, this branch of the Baudissins have now the trible-barreled name of Baudissin-Zinzendorf und Pottendorf.
Count Nikolaus-Ludwig von Zinzendorf und Pottendorf is the only child of Count Georg Ludwig v.Z.u.P. (1662-1700) and his 2nd wife Baroness Charlotte Justine von GERSDORFF (1675-1763) >< 19 Jul 1699 in Dresden, Saxony. Nikolaus was born in Dresden, Saxony 26 May 1700 and died in Herrnhut, in the Oberlausitz, Saxony 09 May 1760 and buried there 16 May 1760. He has had 9 older half brothers and sisters from his father's 1st marriage to Baroness Maria Elisabeth TEUFEL zu GUNTERSDORF (1661-1698)
His father died shortly after his birth and while the mother re-married and moved to Berlin, young Nikolaus grew up with his grandmother (mother's mother) Mrs Henrietta Katharina von GERSDORFF, nee Baroness von FRIESEN on the estate of Gross-Hennersdorf, in the Oberlausitz, Saxony. She was a highly intelligent lady and made sure Nikolaus got a good education. As a young man he served the Polish King who also was the Elector of Saxony as a Privy Court & Legal Councillor. In 1721 he bought the estate of Berthelsdorf, in the Oberlausitz, Saxony from the inheritance his father left him and he immediately provided refuge to the Moravian emigrants from Bohemia and Czecheslovacia. He very quickly realized that their believes and traditions were great and he quit his profession and became a priest, setting up the Moravian Church (Herrnhuter Bruedergemeinde) on his estate. He had many followers, even from his own ranks and background which caused him huge trouble with his King & Elector. In 1722 he married 1st Countess Erdmuth Dorothea REUSS zu EBERSDORF (1700-1756) with whom he had 12 children. Most of these children died young and only 4 left descendants, some are still around, living mainly in Germany or the USA. After the death of his wife, he married a 2nd time in 1757 a member of his church, Anna Caritas NITSCHMANN (1716-1760), daughter of a senior clergy man of the Moravians. She was a very close friend of his 1st wife and a very good friend of the family. They had no children and she died only a few days after him and they were buried together.
Count Nikolaus worked tiredless for his church and spent huge amounts of his private money to build it up and expanding it in Germany as well as abroad. He travelled a lot, visited most countries in Europe and lived in England for a few years. He also travelled to the USA and other places overseas. He sent out his missionaries to odd places to introduce the locals to the bible and christianity. His mission is still carried out today around the Globe by the Moravian Church - its quite amazing. After his death, he did not leave much wealth to his children, his entire estate with all the land and all the houses and castles was passed into the hands of his beloved church.
DJL took Johannes Sr.'s death-date from photocopy of the Oley Churchbook (BA); other sources give date as Feb 10, 1747 and Oct 2, 1747. His estate was settled in 1752 (IWV). His name was spelled Leinbach in the Oley Churchbook. After his death (in Nazareth?) and burial at Oley, his widow Elisabeth moved to Bethlehem, then to Nazareth. Her memoir is preserved in BA (MEM, Box 2, MS; it was transcribed by LAM, translated by Paul Sukop von Marko, and published in the Leinbach Family Researcher. The following is excerpted from the translation of her memoir:
"In the year 1700, 2nd December, she entered into marriage with John Leinbach, with whom the following year she moved to Hochstadt, where for 23 years he served in the school and as organist, and where they were often inspired and visited by other pious people. In the year 1723 they moved with their 9 [this is incorrect; there were actually 5 living children at the time] children...to Pennsylvania and settled down in Oley. The first brother who came to visit their house in Oley was Brother Spangenberg... In the year 1747 she became a widow and stayed with her children in Oley until 1755. Then she visited Bethlehem, where, upon her pleading, she was granted permission to stay, whereafter she moved to the widows’ home in Nazareth and until her ripe old age faithfully and ambitiously served His house. There she was, for her age, amazingly happy, joyful, and lively. When on occasions, especially in her latter years, she became dizzy and fainted, she always stood up quickly and went again about her work. In the previous winter [before her death] she was forced again to stay in bed. However, she was able to participate in the last Chorfest [choir-festival] and could enjoy the festival with her sisters. She was the Hannah of her choir and she was often given the honor of being called an apostle. During all this agony she asked her Creator, at the same time as the Chorfeste, that she wished to be released and to be ever with the Lord. The last day before her homegoing she was granted a sweet fellowship with her Friend, and begged Him with tears to come soon and give her the last kiss of His blessed lips. He granted her these pleas and took her on the 25th of April, early, at 5:30 a.m., under His blessed care and in the community of her choir took her home in the 87th year of her age."

Friedrich Leinbach signed his will, written Jun 10, 1783, probated Jul 24, 1784 (GOL), as "Froinherif Lienbouf," but his name and his children's names are spelled "Linebough" in the text of the transcription of the will, probably written by a clerk. This may indicate a trend toward the English language and spelling of names in the 1780s in Graceham. His male descendants generally spelled their name “Linebaugh”.

The book called "VIRGINIA MARRIAGES early to 1800 by Jordon Dodd
Bowman,Rebecca m'd Loimbough,Daniel on 7 Nov 1790 in Shenandoah Co., Va.
My lineage line is Daniel Linebaugh and Rebecca Bowman's daughter Barsheba and her husband Caswell Carter. For more on them read on.
Daniel and Rebecca Bowman Linebaugh children were;
1 son Linebaugh b 1791/1797 in Greene Co.,Tn
2 Elizabeth b 1798/1799 in Greene Co, Tn; m 9 Mar 1820 to Thomas Bowman in Green Co., Tn
* 3 Susanna b abt 1810/14 in Green Co., Tn d unknown in Kansas with 2nd husband Isaac Pearson. Look under Green page for more information
Susanna married John Green in Greene Co, Tn in 1822, Susanna DID NOT MARRY JOHN GREEN IN GREEN CO. TN BUT DID MARRY HIM IN PLATTE CO, MO in 1841. I think John Green a lady with the maiden Tipton, she could have had the first name Susanna. John Green and Susanna were married but in Platte Co., Mo in 1841. That I know for sure. I now have their marriage record
*Suanna was my step-gggreatgrandmother
The Susanna Linebaugh Green will states that the children of Barsheba Linebaugh can live here as long as they want too and Barsheba may live here as long as she never marrys again. The land that Susanna give them was the land she got from Daniel Linebaugh, her father. Barseheba Carter was living on this land with her daughter Mahalah "Hily" Carter Green Stokes in the 1880 Census as will as the 1850,1860.
After the 1860 Census I can not find Daniel or Martin Carter in Platte Co., Mo. I wonder what happen to them. I have know idea what happen to Rebecca, Barsheba Linebaugh Carter daughter too.
The Census of 1850;1860;1870;1880 had Mahalah "Hily" living on this land. The only reason that I can find is Daniel land was both Barsheba and Susanna.
4 Catherine b 1802 in Greene Co. Tn., d ? Greene Co., Tn m on 18 Jul 1822 to John Shanks b 1801 in Tn., d ? Parke, In.
5 Rebecca Jane b 1805 in Green Co. Tn
** 6 Barsheba b abt 1808 in Greene Co., Tn d aft 1880. m'd 1st Caswell Carter b abt 1804 in Greene Co., Tn. They were married in Green Co., TN on 4 Feb 1838. and (2nd William Sparks m 28 Feb 1851 b ? d? married in Platte Co., Tn aft. 1850 and before 1853.)(I am not sure about this marriage.) I have the marriage records for Caswell Carter and Barsheba Linebaugh on 4 Feb 1838 in Greene Co. TN. The 1840 Census had their oldest child a boy this is wrong because it was girl.
** Barsheba and Caswell Carter were my gggreatgrandparents.
(If Barsheba married William Sparks why in the 1880 Census has her last name still CARTER.I don't think she ever remarried.) The 1880 Census of Platte Co. Mo has Barsheba Carter living with her daugther "Hily" Stokes. "Hily" Stokes name was Mahalah Carter who married Isaac Green in 1850. After Isaac was killed in 1863 she remarried Collins Stokes in 1865. I know have Hily Green marriage record to Collin Stokes.

Children of Catherine Linebaugh and John Shanks are:

Barsheba Linebaugh (Daniel Linebaugh's daughter) was born abt 1808 in Greene Co., Tenn.. She married (1) Caswell Carter1 on 5 Feb 1838 in Green Co. TN.. She married (2) William Sparks 28 Feb 1851 in Platte Co., Mo..
Children of Barsheba Linebaugh and Caswell Carter are:
1 Martin Carter, born ca. 1836 in Mo.TN. This child could not have been born in 1836 because his parents did marry until 1838.
2 Daniel Carter, born ca. 1838 in Mo or TN
3 Rebecca Carter, born ca. 1848 in Mo..
4 Mahalah Carter b ca 1838 in TN.
Casell Carter and Barsheba were in Green Co. TN in 1840. At this time they had a son, under 5. By 1848, Barsheba and Caswell had four children and then last one born 1848. For Caswell Carter was no mention in the 1850 Census of Platte Co. Mo.so he must have died after the last child was born in 1848.
My question is Was the child in the 1840 male or female. Could someone else give the Census and the person but child as male and should have been Female. The age for Mahalah to marry would be right. Because I don't think she was 10 years old and married.
Caswell and his family move to Platte Co, Mo by 1842.
1. They could have had three children in TN. Mahalah was married in 1850. Then 1850 Census has her age 22, the 1860 Census has her age 25, the 1870 Census has her age 30. There is no tell how old she is.
Their son John told his granddaugther the about his family " My mother Hilie was a Carter and her mother was Linebaugh and her mother sister was Bowman." Hilie was nickname for Mahalah. The 1860 and 1870 call her Hili and Isaac's will state Hili was his wife. After Isaac was killed she remarried Collin Stokes.

There was a “near-miss” in Europe between the Leinbach family and the Unitas Fratrum. Also known as the Moravian Church, this was a Protestant group that pre-dated Luther and after 1722 lived in structured communal societies organized around the church. Johannes Sr. and his family had left Germany in 1723, before the Moravians came to the Langenselbold/Hochstadt area in the 1730’s. One wonders whether Count Zinzendorf, patron of the Moravian Church, knew Leinbach had come from this area before he visited Leinbach’s home in America in 1741. Langenselbold is about 15 miles east of Frankfurt am Main, and Herrnhaag, a Moravian settlement, is about 8 miles north of Langenselbold. LM states:
"The Marienborn and Ronneburg castles, to which Zinzendorf fled in 1736 when he was exiled from Saxony, are near Langenselbold. [Because Zinzendorf had worked actively in the church -- something unseemly for a nobleman to do -- and since the vassals of other noblemen had been leaving their estates to join the Moravians on Zinzendorf's estate, the count was considered an outcast by his peers.] He leased them from Count Ysenburg. This little town [Langenselbold?] is beautiful and has the half-timbered houses like the four on South Main Street, Salem, NC. Hamilton, History of the Moravian Church, p. 64, says the Ronneburg was 'a half ruined castle dating back to the Middle Ages. It was a wild and forbidding place. Fifty-six families of Jews and gypsies camped around it or in its outbuildings. Even Christian David [A leader of the renewed Unitas Fratrum, or Moravian Church] said it was unfit to live in. Yet Zinzendorf accepted the offer (Ysenburg was deeply in debt and welcomed all manner of tenants with all manner of religious views) because of the opportunities for Christian work.' Herrnhaag, in ruins today, looks as if Salem square was patterned after it. There were 17 large buildings. This land was purchased from Count Buedingen, 2 hours' walk from Marienborn Castle where Zinzendorf lived. When Count Casimir of Buedingen died, his son told the Moravians they had to become members of the state church to renew their lease. Spangenberg said 'no' and they began closing out Herrnhaag in 1750. The majority of people that came to Wachovia (NC) had at one time lived in Herrnhaag or one of the two castles, Marienborn and Ronneburg."
