Strimples

The Strimple line came probably from the Bayern region of Germany. The patriarch is Johann Wilhelm Strempel who sailed aboard the Snow Kitty in the mid 1700s and landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1756. He later married Christiana Sax in New Jersey. Their son John Strimple fought in the Revolutionary War in the 2nd and 4th New Jersey Regiment. He fought at Elizabethtown, Brandywine, and was at Valley Forge during the winter. Most of the Strimple descendants living in northern Ohio are descended from John.
