In the year 1765 Frederick Carl Christlieb emigrated, with his wife, sons Frederick Carl and Jacob and step son George Buck, from Durkheim, Rhenish Bavaria, to America, landing at Baltimore, Maryland. The sons, who were in their minority, located near the boundary line between Pennsylvania and Maryland and close to the Susquehanna River, where they remained for several years. The parents, soon after their arrival in Baltimore, found their way to Newville, Cumberland County and were among the earliest German settlers in that locality. The mother died in a few years, and her remains were interred in the Big Spring burialgrounds. A few yers later the father died while enroute to a physiian's home in Virginia, where he hoped to get relief from the disease which caused his death. The family did not become permanently settled for several years after their arrival in America.
