- From Barnes Family Tree on rootsweb.com
John Adam Wuertemberger was our immigrant ancestor and was probably single when he arrived in America in the early 1750's. By 1758 he and his wife Anna Maria, were living in or near Reading, Cumru Township, Pennsylvania. No marriage record has been found, but as man and wife they presented a son, John Jacob, for baptism on 5 March 1758 at Trinity Lutheran Church, Reading, Pennsylvania. The 1763 Weiser lot list of Warrants and Patents for Reading, Pennsylvania shows Adam Wurtemberger's name in relation to Lot # 335 on Clement Street in Reading. His name appears within the outline of lot #335 on the City Plat Maps but no date of patent is provided as appears for most of the lots.
Tax records for Cumru, Township, Berks County , Pennsylvania for 1781 lists the following: Adam Wortemberger, stocking weaver; Jacob Wertemberger, stocking weaver and Adam Vortemberger, single, freeman. These were no doubt, Adam Sr. and his two eldest sons. Stocking weavers, and other able to produce finished goods, were much in demand during and after the Revolutionary War. Prior to that time the colonies were espected to supply England with raw materials, and were mostly prohibited from engaging in the manufacture of finished goods which were instead purchased from English firms.
The Wuertemberger name appears in several forms in the translated Church records and elsewhere. More than 25 different spellings of the name have been found by those contributing to this research. No Wuertemberger undler any of the various spellings, was found in the 1800 Federal Census for Berks County.
