The Pfannekuchen Family in the Hill Church 1700s
2010
Johann Pfannekuchen was born in Prussia. Today it is known as Germany. He emigrated to America where he married and settled in Pennsylvania. He is our direct ancestor. His son Johann George Pannekuchen was the first ancestor in this line to Americanize his name to Pancake. By the time our ancestor William was born in 1793, the family name was officially Pancake.
These are the records of the Hill Church in Pennsylvania. The first Pfannekuchen entry is our direct ancestor. Subsequent descendants of ancestor Johann George Pfannekuchen affiliated with the Methodist Church rather than the Lutheran Church. Thus the descendant line was Johann to Johann George to William to Samuel to Glendora to Everest to Everest Raymond to the present day with three additional living generations.
