The Hershey family reunion is being held, August 28th in Paradise, at the usual spot. I have put together a newsletter to keep the family updated on the information I receive. It has been emailed to those folks who have been kind enough to share their email. For all the rest, you are missing out. You can reach me through the contact section of my website to get on the email list.

I am John Brubaker President of Brubaker Families of America. Each year we hold a family reunion the first Sunday of August in Rohrerstown, PA on land that was part of the original 1000 acre land patient purchased by Christian Hershey and Hans Brubaker 1n 1710 and title taken in 1717. Early reunions were joint Brubaker / Hershey reunions, we are planning a large celebration in 2017 and would invite all Hersheys to join us.
I’d like any information you can give me that might help in connecting my branch of the Brubaker family with yours.
Thanks,
John Brubaker
John,
I’m not sure how you would be related to my husband’s family, but in the Henry Hershey book of 1929 there are many Brubakers married to Hersheys
Hi, Deb:
In reference to what John Brubaker mentioned previously (from his Sept 2011 note)…if you look on pg 9 of the 1989 reprinting of Henry Hershey’s book there is a reference to Christian Hershey. I don’t know beyond a shadow of a doubt, but I have a high degree of certainty that this is the Christian Hershey who received the 1000 acre land patent with our ancestor Hans Brubaker.
Referring to his May 2012 note, I might contact him to see where the connection is. My wife is a Hershey; her family is in the Hershey Book. Her ancestors are Jacob Hershey (1742 – 1825) and Andrew Hershey (1702 – 1792).
If you are so inclined, check out our new website http://www.brubakerfamilies.org. It is a work in progress; probably about 70% complete.
