Notes:
On August 23, 1728, Captain John Coultas' ship Mortonhouse reached Philadelphia after a long voyage from the Dutch port of Rotterdam that included a stop at the port of Deal on the southeast coast of England near the entrance to the English Channel. Among the 205 men, women, and children on board was Christofel Bankert, his wife, Anna Eva (Shriver [? According to family tradition]), four of their five daughters (Maria Salome, Juliana, Anna Margaretha, and Margaretha Elenora), and one surviving son, Johann Jacob, who was born in 1717. Another daughter, Anna Maria, came to America later, in 1752.
Christofel and his family were from Wachenheim, a small town in the Rheinland- Palatinate. Born around 1680, in 1695 Christofel was considered a "servant" and "day laborer," later a "tenant" on the farm of Dr. Emrich of Spire in Wachenheim. He owned a house that was burned down in time of war. In 1718 he was a tenant on the farm of Baron von Sax, a successor of Dr. Emrich.
The Conewago Settlement was a colony, made up of mostly Germans, located in the southeastern part of York County (what is now Adams County), Pennsylvania. The long-standing border disputes between the Penn’s (Pennsylvania) and the Calvert’s (Maryland) were the cause of the first settlers coming into the region.
It is believed that the Bankert's first settled in one of the German communities just outside of Philadelphia; Germantown being the most likely settlement. Then about 1731 (according to miscellaneous documents) the Christophel Bankert family became one of the first families to settle in the Hanover-Littlestown area of Pennsylvania.
Littlestown, or Petersburg, located in the extreme southwestern portion of Digges’ tract, was part of the Conewago Settlement. It is probably the oldest town in what is now Adams County, having been laid out in 1765 by Peter Klein (or Little) from whom it received its name, fifteen years before James Gettys laid out Gettysburg and one year after Richard McAllister founded Hanover. Peter Little is buried in the Old Christ Church Cemetery to the east of Littlestown. The place was first called Petersburg; but, to avoid confusion with similar named towns, people called it Littles Town, and thus it remained. Adams County was formed from part of York County thirty-five years later in 1800.Christophel married Schreiber, Anna Eva in 1698 in Wachenheim an der Weinstraße, Bad Durkheim, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.
