THE FAMILY OF JOHANN GEORGE LEMPERT/LAMBERT

The family of Johann George Lempert (or Lambert) were all born in the state of Baden, Wurtemberg, Germany in the 1700s.  Baden-Württemberg  is  located in the southwest, east of the Upper Rhine that forms the border with France. It is Germany’s third largest state in terms of size and population. The state capital and largest city is Stuttgart. "Small land" or "dear land" (in the local Swabian dialect) is sometimes used as a synonym for Baden- Württemberg.  Johann and his wife, Anna Maria Grosin, were married in the duchy of Zweibrucken, in Baden, right on the border of France, about 1742. Their two children that I know of,  Maria Margaretha (our ancestor) and Nicholas, were born in this village. The castle in the photo is where the Count Palatine of the Rhine resides and rules his domain.

But the Lamberts left their homeland in 1749 and arrived in Philadelphia on the ship "Lydia" on the 8th of August. On the 13th of June in 1750,  Johann received a land warrant  #105, of 50 acres, which was located in Albany, Berks, PA. Evidently, the Lamberts were satisfied with their lives in Albany where they remained until their deaths. Johann and Anna were both buried in the Jerusalem Union Cemetery at Stony Run, Albany Township, Berks, PA.
