JOHANNES HEINRICH LEINBACH was born 1649 in Oberdorfelden, Hessen-Nassau, Prussia, and died April 05, 1716 in Wetterau-Langenselbold, Germany. He married ANNA BARBARA LERCH December 06, 1672 in Evangelical Congregational Church in Langenselbold, Hessen-Nassau, Germany, daughter of JOHANNES LERCH and ANNA EVA. She was born Abt. 1650 in Oberdorfelden, Hessen-Nassau, Prussia, and died in Leiman, H., Germany.
The family may have taken its name "Leinbach" from their lords, the "von Leinbach" family, who owned the region in the late Middle Ages, but there is no evidence to date we were descended from them. The von Leinbach family owned the land on which Johann Heinrich Leinbach 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.
In the book recording the marriage of Johann Heinrich Leinbach to Anna Barbara Lerch at Langenselbold in 1672, he is associated with a place described in one modern transcription from the original as "Gerthen-Rode im Riedeselischen." Some researchers believe this is the present-day village of Gerterode located above Bad Hersfeld, Hessen, Germany, between Frankfurt-am-Main and Kessel. It is situated near Ludwigseck, the Riedesel castle to the northwest. And, a number of Leinbachs lived in the area at the time of Johann Heinrich's birth. Research has revealed that a head-of-household named Abraham Leinbach resided in Gerterode in 1656. Also, records in Braach, just north of Gerterode, note the baptism of a certain Johann Heinrich Leinbach, son of Johann Daniel Leinbach, in 1663. Additionally, several other Leinbach families are known to have lived in the Braach parish. Beyond this circumstantial evidence, however, no records of church or state directly linking Johann Heinrich Leinbach (1649-1716) to this particular Gerterode are known to exist.

JOHANNES LEINBACH SR. (JOHANNES HEINRICH LEINBACH)was born March 09, 1673/74 in Langenselbold, Isenberg, Hesse, Germany, and died November 20, 1747 in Oley Township, Pennsylvania. He marriedANNA ELIZABETH KLEISS October 02, 1700 in Reformed Church in Altenhaszlau, Hanau, Germany, daughter of JOHANN KLEISS and ELIZABETH SCHILLINGER. She was born February 02, 1679/80 in Eidengesess, Wetterau, Germany, and died April 25, 1765 in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
When Johannes was a boy between 11 and 15 years of age, his parents moved from Langenselbold, the place of his birth, to Hochstadt, a few miles to the west. Prior to 1700, they had moved again, this time from Hochstadt ot Altenhasslau, a few miles east of Langenselbold. In this town the 26 year-old Johannes married Anna Elizabeth Kleiss from the nearby village of Eidengesaess, just southeast of Altenhasslau.
Johannes Leinbach, Sr., He was baptized on Apr 15, 1674; godfather was Johannes Lerch, at Langenselbold on March 9, 1674, and was baptized there immediately after his birth by the pastor of that place in the Reformed religion, in which he was raised by his parents, Heinrich Leinbach, and Barbara Lerch. By 1703, for the birth of their first child, they were living in Hochstadt; all their children were born there. They had both grown up in the Reformed Church.
If the Leimbachs followed the usual routes, the trek from Hochstadt would have started with a river voyage down the Main. They would have sailed west to the Rhine and then north to Rotterdam, Holland. The journey was about 400 miles... This leg of the journey could take up to six weeks. When at last they made it to Rotterdam, they may have been delayed for several more weeks before a ship was ready.
The Leinbach family thrived in the Oley Valley. There the family became associated with the Morovian Church, although Johannes himself remained a Lutheran. His wife and most of his children joined the Moravian congregation at Bethlehem in 1742.
It is believed that Johannes Leinbach is buried in the Moravian's "God's Acre," an abandoned graveyard on a hill near the Moravian School. The graves are unmarked.
Anna Elisabeth and Johannes were married in the Reformed Church in Altenhablau, across the river Kinzig from Geinhausen, about four kilometers frm Eidenges.

He married ELIZABETH AMELIA "MILLIE" FREY June 10, 1737 in Skippack, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, daughter of HANS FREY and ANNA LEVERING. She was born July 01, 1719 in Skippack, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and died June 05, 1781 in Graceham, Frederick County, Maryland.
John Fredric Leinbach learned the tailor trade in his youth prior to coming to America with his parents aboard the ship "Brothers" at age 20 in 1723.
Johann Fredric Leinbach settled at Graceham, Frederick County, Maryland in April 1767.

MARIA BARBARA LEINBACH (JOHANNES LEINBACH SR., JOHANNES HEINRICH LEINBACH) was born September 11, 1722 in Hochstadt, Wetterau, Germany, and diedanuary 20, 1810 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She married (1) FREDERICK MARTIN. He died 1750 in West Indies. She married (2) DAVID NITSCHMANN 1754. He was born 1695, and died 1772.
She returned with him to his field in what is now the Virgin Islands, West Indies. They lived at Nisky on St. Thomas. On a visit to Herrnhaag in Germany during 1747, her young daughter, Johanna Elisabeth Martin, died of small pox at the Children's Institue there. When returning to the West Indies, Maria Barbara and her fellow passengers were captured by a "French Caper" and imprisoned for several weeks before being released with only the clothes on their back. In 1750, while living at Herrnhut, the Moravian settlement on St. Croix, her husband died suddenly.
Upon returning to Bethlehem in 1752, she "served the children" until she married David Nitschmann, the widowed Moravian bishop, on September 7, 1754. They moved to Gnadenhutten, Pennsylvania but returned after about half a year to Bethlehem, just two days before the Indians burned the Moravian settlement there. Maria Barbara is requested to be the second wife of the aging bishop who had done so much to establish the Moravian church in America, and consented to do so. After his death, she lived in the widow's house in Bethelehem and is buried in the Moravian graveyard there. Late in life, Maria Barbara suffered a facial injury which never properly healed and caused her a great deal of suffering for many years until her death.
Frederick Martin was a missionary in the West Indies who died there in 1750.

JOHANNES LEINBACH JR. (JOHANNES LEINBACH SR., JOHANNES HEINRICH LEINBACH) was born August 18, 1712 in Hochstadt, Wetterau, Germany, and died March 14, 1766 in Wachovia, Rowan (now Forsyth) Co., North Carolina. He married ANNA CATHERINE REAM 1735 in Oley, Berks County, Pennsylvania, daughter of JOHAN REAM and ANNA SCHWAB. She was born January 09, 1715/16 in Leimen, Heidelberg, Baden, Germany, and died November 05, 1803 in Wachovia, Bethania, North Carolina.
Visiting ministers of various sects preached the Gospel in homes and barns of the Oley faithful. Among them was Augustus Gottlieb Spangenberg, bishop of the Moravian Church. From 1736 to 1738, he "made the blessed acquaintanceship of upright souls" in Oley, Skippack, Falkner's Swamp, Germantown and Philadelphia.
At the Fifth Synod in April, Eschenbach installed Johannes Leinbach as elder of the Oley congregation. As Elder, Johannes would be the leader of the group, in charge of their spiritual guidance. Catharine, Johannes Jr.'s wife, was confirmed by Zinzendorf as leader of the women's work in Oley at the same time.
"About thirty persons ... have moved from Pennsylvania into our neighborhood, among them Johann Leinbach......"Johann Leinbach, his wife and seven children, with two wagons, arrived after a five week trip from Pennsylvania."
But just 288 days after his arrival, at fifty-four years of age, Johannes would be dead. While his short stay in Wachovia was likely to have been anything but pleasant, the duration was sufficient to achieve the goals that brought him to North Carolina. Life in Pennsylvania had been kind to Johannes and Anna Catharina but they had growing concerns for the spiritual welfare of their younger children not in the service of the Society. Living in Oley precluded a full association with the Society headquartered in Bethlehem some thirty miles away. And the proximity of the rapidly expanding city of Philadelphia made the spread of undesirable influences a constant concern among the Moravians.
"When we traveled through Yorktown, Johannes Leinbach (the one at Oley) had in mind to look for cheap land in the neighborhood of the Brethren because in his vicinity the world was getting too bad. He came to me and told me he is determined to sell his plantation for which he hopes to receive not less than £1000. He wants to use the money to move next spring ... to North Carolina and to live as near as possible to the Brethren. I told him that he should make a journey down to see the land. He said he was too old just to make a journey. He had no doubts about the Unity land being good land. My personal thought is that he is hunting a separate plantation for each [son] and perhaps the Bethlehem lot might thus be occupied at one time."
Johannes is likely to have known something about the condition of the land in North Carolina. The lot that Marshall proposed was one originally purchased by Heinrich Giller when money was being raised to acquire the Wachovia tract. But Giller, who lived at Herrnhut, never came to America and he gave the lot to Nathaniel and Anna Seidel who, in turn, gave it to the Bethlehem congregation. The land lay less than two miles due north of the Bethania home of Elisabeth and Michael Rancke and within four miles of the main Moravian center at Bethabara. Because of his proximity to the lot, Michael Rancke most likely would have provided him with information concerning its condition. And, as a part-time farmer himself, surely Michael did not fail to mention that all two thousand acres were covered with trees!
Johannes Leinbach's lot in Wachovia just above Bethania, Forsyth County, North Carolina.
"The Brethren Ettwein and Graff visited Johannes Leinbach on his farm three miles behind Bethania. He has built a small house and is preparing to clear land for turnips."
Johannes had brought plenty of help with him from Pennsylvania. In addition to his wife and two daughters, he had the assistance of the five sons who came to Wachovia. Johann Gottlieb, in his twenties, was the oldest of the sons. Ludwig at twenty-two was next in age. The youngest sons, Abraham, Benjamin, and Joseph were twenty-one, nineteen, and thirteen respectively. The house they constructed from native materials in less than a month was, in reality, a one-room log cabin with a stone chimney. Only about twenty feet wide, the cabin featured a sleeping loft in order to accommodate all nine members of the family within the narrow confines of its walls! But by making this humble house built on uncleared farmland his home, Johannes had fulfilled the expressed desire for his family to live in a Moravian settlement. And interestingly enough, of the original Wachovia lot owners, Johannes would prove to be the only one to build a house on his lot and actually live there.
"(Brother Ettwein) visited Brother Johann Leinbach, who has been in poor health all winter...... (February 18)"Brother Graff visited Brother Leinbach who is still ill." (February 22)"At the earnest wish of Johann Leinbach, Brother Ettwein went there and after talking with him gave him the Holy Communion; his wife partook pith him and also Brother Michael Ranke, who had stayed with him all night," (March 6)"This afternoon Johann Leinbach came to Bethania the news that his father died quietly this morning." (March 14)'This afternoon at 2:00 [o'clock] Brother Johannes Leinbach was buried, near his home, on a hill, at a place he had himself selected. Brother Graff held the service which was attended by about sixty Brothers and Sisters from Bethania and Bethabara. (March 16) Johannes Leinbach's short stay in Wachovia was over.

As Maria Barbara remembered in her memoirs... Regarding the Moravian congrgation.
"About that time the sainted Count von Zinzendorf with his daughter Benigna and Sister Molther came to visit us. During this visit I became well acquainted with them, because the sainted Count took special interest in me and asked me whether I had a desire to reside in Bethlehem. At this question I felt at once in my heart that they were the people to whom I belonged. But I asked him for permission to visit them, to which he gladly consented. As a result I made a visit to Bethlehem with my mother. At that time I received permission to stay there. Together with my mother I was received into the congregation in December 1742."
Maria Barbara Leinbach never married.

Johannes moved to Greene Co., TN with his parents in 1790 or 1791 but he and Elizabeth Reisor were married in Shenandoah Co., VA. He laid claim to land in a disputed area between Hawkins Co, TN and what is now Scott Co, VA. The dispute was not settled until many years later. The end of Hawkins Co., TN and parts of three counties in VA were put together to form Scott Co., VA. That is the reason some of the children were born in TN and some in VA, although in all probability, John did not move.
