General Notes: Husband - Philip Gloninger


He was born in the Palatinate, Germany, and was one of the sufferers from the desolation which swept over that section of Europe on account of religious persecution. When twenty-eight years of age he came to America and settled as a farm hand in Upper Leacock township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There he was in the employ of John Swope, who became his father-in-law.
After marriage they moved to Lebanon County, but it was then within Lancaster and known as Lebanon township of Lancaster County. They resided there the remainder of their lives. The old Gloninger house was still standing on the south bank of the Quitapahilla Creek into the twentieth century. In early days it was styled "Gloninger's Fort." During the terrible Indian wars it was used as a place of safety by the inhabitants of the far surrounding country. One of the local histories says: "It is a good specimen of the solid architecture of those early days, with its pitched roof and original port-holes for windows, and it serves as an interesting land-mark, because here the first Gloningers lived, from whom descended locally quite an illustrious family.''
