Vol. 7, page 276, Department of Internal Affairs, Harrisburg, Pa. Abraham was born four years after his father migrated from Ibersheim, Germany. His father Hans Brubaker built a mill near the place where Columbia Avenue now crosses the Little Conestoga Creek. Hans.. Hans Brubaker was one of six men appointed to lay out a road from the Susquehanna River to Christian Steinman Mill and from there to "Daniel Cookson's" at the head of the Pequea Creek. Hans was appointed constable on May 26, 1724 for the Donegal district and in August of 1729 for Hempfield Township. Most of his duties probably consisted of simply giving information to the sheriff about conditions and problems. Hans bought other tracts of land at other locations amounting to a total of more than 2,000 acres. Most of these tracts remained in the family after his death. The buildings at what was probably his homestead were destroyed to make way for a housing development about 1972, and no trace of them exists today. Here the pioneer Abraham Brubaker was buried. His grave was marked with a sandstone without any dates or inscription. The old part is on the east and most of the graves are marked with small sandstones without names or dates. Barbara Miller Brubaker, wife of Abraham, is buried here. She saved herself and a small daughter in 1759 by running to her husband, who was working in a field, and having him take her across the river to a fort cellar on the farm. When her husband returned he found that the Indians had plundered his home and tried to set it on fire. The reason the graveyard was near the house and had no markers at the old graves, the Brubakers were afraid the Indians might find them and remove the bodies in order to get the scalps.
