Another founder of the extended Replogle family was Jacob Cripe (Greib). As far as I know all the Cripes and Gripes in America descend from him. If so they descend from Elizabeth Ulrich too. He married her about 1740. Their son married a Rinehart Replogle daughter, uniting Cripe, Ulrich and Replogle genes. Their daughter married a Shively, joining the Cripe-Ulrich-Shively lines. Then a daughter of this Shively union (Elizabeth) married Rinehart's son Peter Replogle. So by 1805 or thereabouts one line of Rinehart Replogle's descendants carried Cripe-Ulrich genes and another carried the genes of Cripe-Ulrich-Shively. By this time Metzgers had entered the family too. George Metzger's daughters married three of Rinehart Replogle's sons. A fourth son (Peter) had a son who married a Metzger (whose mother was an Ulrich). If this sounds bewildering, it is. The point is: these families became, after two or three generations in America, a kind of clan. They lived in the same communities, moved to new frontiers together, and married each other for more than 100 years.

For example, Henry Metzger (1803-1865) and his wife Susannah Ulrich had six children who married Shivelys; another married a Cripe. My great grandfather, Samuel B. Replogle (born 1820), with a Shively mother, a Cripe grandmother, and an Ulrich great grandmother, married a Metzger. So did his son William, my grandfather. The familiar names shift among the same families: a Replogle daughter marries a Cripe; their daughter marries a Replogle. (In one case three Metzger sisters marry three Metzger men.)

Jacob Cripe (Greib) arrived in Philadelphia Sept. 28, 1732 (George Washington was eight months old) on the ship "Richard and Elizabeth." He was about 20, and the only Cripe on board. His next six years are a blank. If he followed the pattern of most German immigrants (those not indentured) he passed through Germantown, learned what the prospects were, and headed west. West wasn't far away. In 1732 nearly everybody in Pennsylvania lived east of the Susquahanna River, in an arc about 100 miles from Philadelphia. Most of this was very sparsely settled too. A contemporary writer describes Conestoga (only 20 miles from Germantown) as "wilderness." This is the country Germans spread into. Philadelphia itself was controlled by English Quakers.

Jacob Cripe and the Ulrichs may be the first Replogle ancestors to have joined the German Baptist Brethren Church. It was a new sect, and most of its members lived close to Philadelphia. Their first American congregation, in Germantown, only dated from Christmas day 1723. But the church already had gone through a serious split. Just four years before Jacob arrived the more mystical wing had gone off to establish a colony at Ephrata. But Jacob didn't join this branch. Maybe he joined the church in Germantown. Maybe his marriage to Elizabeth Ulrich brought him into it. All of this is conjecture. The fact is he shows up next in 1738, some 80 miles west of Philadelphia, a charter member of the Little Conewago Congregation, along with the Ulrichs, Dierdorffs and Stutesmans. He stayed in this area for another 10 or 12 years at least. In 1743 he obtained a warrant for 150 acres in Manchester Township, Lancaster County. The 1745 survey is in "Conewago township" (probably the same land). He was almost certainly married by now and had started a family. Then about 1750 a number of Brethren families felt it safe to move further west, among them the Shivelys, Ulrichs and Cripes. In 1752 Jacob bought 300 acres in Frederick County, Maryland. I don't know where this property was located. But Stephen Ulrich bought land the same year next to (today's) Clear Springs, and Daniel and John Ulrich settled there too. These were probably all Jacob Cripe's brothers-in-law, and he may have lived near them. No towns had been established here yet. John Hager had already built a stone house in the neighborhood (still standing), but Hagerstown came ten years later. As far as I can tell the only thing resembling a village was Conococheague, a settlement where the creek of that name empties into the Potomac. (Part of Braddock's army crossed the river there in 1755.) This was about nine or ten miles southeast of Stephen Ulrich's farm. In contemporary accounts "Conococheague" often refers to the whole area. So in 1752 Jacob Cripe and his growing family lived somewhere in this locality, along with Stephen Ulrich, Uhli Shively and other ancestors-to-be. Some, of course weren't present yet. The Konigs and Metzgers had arrived in America only the year before, the same year Rinehart Replogle had buried an infant son (and probably a wife) in Alsace. But the clan was drawing together.

In 1753 Jacob Cripe is on record in Frederick Co. as an Overseer of Roads; in 1754 he's Overseer of the Poor. In 1758 he's described as a "cooper." That year he sold 106 acres, and other land transactions place him in the community up through 1764. Now the RRG says that in 1762 his daughter Esther was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. If true this would change the scenario. The big German migration from Frederick County, Maryland to Bedford County, Pennsylvania took place about 1770. If Jacob Cripe went earlier it would be a significant deviation. For one thing it would detach him from the Ulrichs and members of the clan, and it would detach him from the Brethren congregation he seems to belong to. Maybe more important, it would suggest some hint of individuality so universally lacking in these early ancestors, known mostly from land records and children's names. Some writers say a few Brethren families entered Morrisons Cove (Bedford County) in 1755, perhaps the first permanent settlers in the valley. (But they didn't come from the Conococheague.) Living up there was not only dangerous; it was illegal. A 1744 treaty had given land between the Alleghenies and the Ohio River to the Indians. In 1750 to honor this treaty the British had chased squatters out of the Juniata Valley next door and burned their cabins. Then in 1756 an Indian massacre in Morrisons Cove took the lives of unknown numbers of Brethren. Those left almost certainly fled when in 1763 Pontiac's uprising cleared the land of most remaining settlers. It would be interesting to find the Cripes living there in this turbulence, doing something rather odd and very risky. I hope it turns out to be true, but so far I have seen no evidence for it. More likely Jacob Cripe went north after the defeat of Pontiac in 1768, along with almost everybody else. That triggered a mass migration over the mountains. The Replogles, Metzgers, Shivelys, Ulrichs were part of it. All of them went to Morrisons Cove. Jacob Cripe was there too by 1776 -- the year revolutionaries in Philadelphia signed the Declaration of Independence. The next year, as a non-resident, he sold 455 acres back in Frederick County, Maryland. All this suggests the family had recently moved north, had decided to stay, and was selling off Maryland holdings. It's worth noting the size of this acreage. In 1743 Jacob bought 150 acres in Lancaster County, in 1752 300 acres in Frederick County. By 1784 he's taxed for 900 acres in Frankstown Township (in the Morrisons Cove area). That's the familiar pattern: buy land cheap on the frontier, wait until it appreciates, then move to the next frontier.

By the late 1770s Cripes, Replogles, Ulrichs, Shivelys, and Metzgers all lived near each other in Morrisons Cove (or nearby) and our ancestry was well under way. Jacob Cripe's son Daniel married Barbara Replogle (1775), his daughter Susannah married Christian Shively, and his other children had married into the families of Shidler, Nesbett, Rench, Martin, Wise and Wolf. Jacob's will in 1779 divided 850 acres among his children and grandchildren, plus cash, horses and cooper's tools. His wife got lifetime use of half the land, buildings, a mare, and the "horned cattle." He died in 1801. He'd been in America for 68 years, and had lived on three frontiers. In 1802 his wife Elizabeth Ulrich relinquished executorship of the estate, signing with a mark. That same year a list of 99 free males over 20 in a single township of southern Ohio (O Banon) included the names Metsger, Shively, Replogle and Cripe. The family had moved on.
