Notes |
- Hans George Fackler arrived at the port of Philadelphia on September 29, 1750 aboard the ship "Osgood". William Wilkie, Captain, from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, with 480 passengers.
-
Hans George and a younger brother, Johann Wendell, fought in the Revolution because they were on the militia lists of Lancaster County from 1777 to 1783.
-
In fact, Joh. Wendell was listed as a "non-associator" and as such was on the fines list because of such non-association from 1777 to 1783. Non-associators were usually conscientious objecters, members of certain religious sects, among them the German Baptist Brethren (Dunkers, Tunkers or Dunkards). The non-participation of either of these two Facklers would have been in keeping with the religious beliefs of the German Baptist Brethren, a non-violent sect to which a number of their children belonged.
-
The Pennsylvania Archives also show both Vendle (sic) Fackler and his brother, George Fackler, as contributing corn and wheat to the Continental Army.
