John Brubaker C-1 (1685??-1725)

A brother to B-1 Jacob and cousin to A-1 Hans, John was granted 328 of the 700 acres warranted to B-1 Jacob and Peter Swarr, situated in what is now southwestern Manheim Township, Lancaster County, PA, near the 1000 acres warranted to A-1 Hans.  This land eventually became the site of the former Lancaster Brick Yards.  None of the homestead or out buildings remain; what was the farm is now partly owned by Franklin & Marshall College and a rail yard covers a portion of it.  The date stone from the barn was removed and reinstalled in the barn on the oldest known ‘A’ Line homestead, situated on the property of Homestead Village Retirement Community, outside the village of Rohrerstown in East Hempfield Township, Lancaster County, PA.
