     Biography of Johann Nicolaus Kimmel:
John Kimble (1734-1805) (born: Johann Nicolaus Kimmel) is likely the immigrant ancestor of this branch of the Kimble family. The earliest record that can be attributed to him is his arrival as Johann Nicolaus Kimmel on 30 September 1754 at the Port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania aboard the Ship Brothers from Rotterdam.¹ He was listed as passenger 29, age 20. He signed the oath of allegiance to King George on arrival. The next record of him is 13 years later in November 1767 where he is listed as Johannes Kimmel at an Evangelical Reformed Church communion service at the South Fork in Virginia. After 1767, his name in records becomes well anglicized to John Kimble. During that 13 years, we surmise that he was single when he arrived in America and met and married Maria Catarina Bubar, daughter of Lambert and Catharina Buber (Boober). By 1767. he had a well-established family of at least four sons, Lambert, age about 7, Adam, age about 5, Michael, age about 3, and John, age about 1. He was clearly of German decent, spoke German and was of the Lutheran faith as the Church service and records were in German. We also suspect that he was a Palatine German likely from the Rhine River Valley, enticed by cheap land offers to come to Pennsylvania and Virginia. About 30,000 Palatine Germans immigrated to America in the 1700’s. Many came into the Hudson River Valley of New York, Eastern Pennsylvania and Virginia. Nearly all were poor farm workers with few skills. They promptly, after arrival, moved to the western frontiers of America drawn by the promise of cheap land.

The Virginia Record 1767-1799


The biography of John Kimble and his family for the time period 1767 to 1799 has been well documented by Priscilla Bowell of Lynnwood, Washington in her genealogy report entitled “Early Kimbles of Hardy County, Virginia”.² The report was included as Chapter XVIII (pp. 327-336) in Clara Alt Ross's book Jacob Alt.³ The reader is encouraged to read the section on John Kimble (aka John Kimble Senr.) which is reproduced at http://www.burval.net/reports/KimblesofHardyCounty.pdf as it is too extensive to be summarized here. The section on John Kimble starts with Johannes Kimmel’s name appearing in a 1767 list of attendee’s at a Communion service and ends in 1798 with John Kimble selling the property he has acquired including the family farm and disappears from all further Virginia records.

We were able to add the following to the Bowell report:

a. The arrival on 30 September 30, 1754 of Johann Nicolaus Kimmel on Ship Brothers mentioned above.

b. John Kimble filed a claim in May 1782 with the Virginia Public Service Claims in Hampshire County for his gun which he loaned to the Militia during the Revolution that was "Lost in suppressing Tories". Payment was made to him in 1783. This is sufficient for him to be on the Honor Roll in Richmond, Virginia for his Role in the Revolution.

c. The identification of his first wife as Maria Catarina Bubar (Buber, Boober) as well as support and clarification of his having three wives as follows:
Ms. Bowell was puzzled why there was no wife mentioned in five of the grantor deeds from John Kimble between 1795 and 1798 and posed a possible explanation that John Kimble was married three times. The data seems to support that explanation. This compilers review suggests that from about 1756 to before 1773 John Kimble was married to _____ Boober, daughter of Lambert and Catherine Boober, From before 1773 to before November 17, 1779 he was married to ____ Alt daughter of Michael Alt. From before November 17, 1779 he was married to Catherine ______. The before November 17, 1779 marriage date to Catherine is based on the only deed signed by her on January 31, 1798 was where John Kimble and his wife, Catherine sold a 169 acre tract on Clay Lick Run to Henson Veath. Thus Catherine _____ had to have been married to John Kimble by 1779 to have dower rights to that property. Having married by 1779 she did not have dower rights to all the other properties that John Kimble had acquired earlier, so was not required to sign.

d. John Kimble likely died in Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania as discussed below under The Pennsylvania Record 1800 -1805

e. John Kimble had at least 11 children but we were only able to identify seven male children as discussed below under The Pennsylvania Record 1800 -1805

f. Clarification of the precise location of the 100 acre Kimble Plantation identified as Lot 44 on Lick Run is on the north side of Rig Road (WV. 10) about one-half mile northeast of the village of Rig. The property can be view on Google Maps at https://www.google.com/maps/place/3318+Rig+Rd,+Moorefield,+WV+26836 Lick Run is now called Hutton Run and flows between Rig and Fisher, West Virginia.


The Pennsylvania Record 1800 -1805


In the year 1800 John Kimble Senr. as well as John Kimble Jnr.. and a Isaac Kimble are found enumerated as Heads of Household in the US Federal Census of Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. ⁴ We believe, John Senr. is John Kimble of this biography and John Jnr. is his son. They certainly followed the Cumberland Trail blazed by General Braddock during the French and Indian War. By 1797 the trail was open through Cumberland, Maryland and southeastern Pennsylvania to the Ohio River at Wheeling, (West) Virginia.

The census record for John Kimble Sr. shows a family of 7 as follows:
1 male age 10-16 possibly William or Jacob
1 male age 45 and over John Kimble Sr.
1 female age under 10 unidentified daughter
2 females age 10-16 unidentified daughters
2 females age 16-26 unidentified daughters
1 female age 45 and over Catherine wife of John Kimble Sr.

The 1782 and 1784 census of Virginia showed the family of John Kimble as 10 people. At that time he had sons Michael, John and Harmon living with him as well as a wife. That left 5 children we could not name. By 1800 he has 5 children we could not name. These census records suggest that John Kimble had at least 6 sons (Lambert, Adam, Michael, John, Harmon, William and Jacob) and at least 5 daughters, all unidentified.

A search of Washington County Records yielded two records. The first record in the Grantee Index shows John Kimbol being granted a Title Bond by John Doty on November 25, 1805. The second, is a Deed dated October 2, 1807 by John Kimble and his wife, Rachel to Abraham Bane for three tracts of land in the Ten Mile Creek area.⁵ The only John Kimble’s in that county at that time were Johann Nicolaus Kimmel (1735-1805) and his son John Kimble (1767-1838) in the Morris Township. We believe the John Kimble of these deeds was John Kimble (1767-1838) the son of Johann Nicolaus Kimmel of this biography. This suggests that Johann Nicolaus Kimmel (1735-1805) had died in Morris Township, Washington County. Pennsylvania before November 1805 thus allowing John Kimble (1767-1838) to drop the use of the Jr. suffix from his name. This rational seems to be confirmed by the 1813 Tax Assessment Record of Fairfield County Ohio which clearly shows Frederick Mains as current owner of property formerly owned by John Kimble. We believe this John Kimble to be John Kimble (1767-1838). In fact we have not encountered any record with Kimble Sr. or Jr. suffix’s, in Ohio records. This tends to support the rationale that John Kimble Sr. never owned land in Ohio and thus likely died in Pennsylvania. He likely died on the property sold by his son, John Kimble (1767-1838) to Abraham Bane in 1807. This land is located around Bane’s Creek which flows into the Ten Mile Creek near the village of Amity, Pennsylvania. This land was originally owned by Nathan Bane, a Revolutionary Soldier, who moved from New Jersey to Washington County in 1791, Abraham Bane was Nathan Bane’s son.
