Notes:

 

In 1774, shortly after their marriage, Albert and Barbara began a trip to North Carolina. They were held up by a snow storm and stayed the winter with a farmer where Albert helped with the farm work for a shilling and board per day, and Barbara helped the wife. They finally arrived in Lincoln County, North Carolina, where their first child, John, was born April 3 1775.

Coming into what is now Caldwell County, NC, they purchased a large acreage on both sides of Lower Creek in the Copenhagen section on the present Calico Road from Christopher Beckman.

All of this information is from "The Heritage of Burke Co, NC", 1981, pp 149-153.

According to Elaine Schwar and Carolyn Price (noted Brobst historians), Barbara was a daughter of Johann Michael Probst (1701). Some other records do not show her in that family, but those records do not show her anywhere else, either.

Other records (Lee Ann Propst) show that she had a brother, Henry, who moved with her and Albert from Pennsylvania to Rowan County, North Carolina shortly after their marriage. Because of bad weather, they had to lay over in Western Virginia for some time before moving on to NC in 1775. But Johann Michael Probst didn't have a son named Henry. Henry may have been a cousin or a nephew.

It was once thought that she might have been a daughter of Johann Michael Propst (1712), not Probst, and so belongs to the West Virginia Propsts. However, if in fact, she was born in Lynn Township, Northampton (Lehigh) County, PA, then she is probably correctly placed in the family of Johann Michael Probst (1701). Considering the date of her reported birth -- 1754, and marriage in Penna in 1774, when Johann Michael Propst was already in Pendleton Co, WV (Rockingham Co, VA) by then, so she could not have been his daughter.

The 1713 German Bible which belonged to Barbara Probst is in a vault in the Asheville [Pack Memorial] NC Library. In that Bible, her name is shown as Probst. The Bible does not contain any ancestry data; only the statement: "Bible belonging to ancestors of Barbara Probst (Mrs. Albert Corpening) mother of David Corpening and Catherine Corpening (Mrs. John Shuford) of North Carolina".

Pending any further evidence, I have shown her as a daughter of Johann Michael Probst (1701) and Anna Maria Kerr (abt 1710).

Another record shows that she lived as a widow in Somersettown, PA, in 1796, 1804, and 1814, and died in Somerset, PA. But Albert didn't die until 1827, and she was still alive -- named in his will. This record appears clearly to be in error; must have been some other Barbara Probst/Brobst.

Her will was probated in January 1830 in Burke (now Caldwell) Co, NC.

Mary married Hendrick Courpenning Jul 1819. Hendrick (son of Henry Weidner Robinson and Maria Magdalena aka Mary Wilfong, son of Albertus Coerpenninck and Gerardina Ten Hengel) was born Abt 1727, Youmpts, United Netherlands; was christened 27 Feb 1727, Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands; died 30 Oct 1827, Burke, NC, USA; was buried , Corpening Cem., Caldwell Co., North Carolina.

Notes:

 

Hendrick Courpenning landed at Philadelphia on the ship Duke of Bedford, Richard Jefferies was captain. From Rotterdam last from Plymouth, on September 14, 1751.

The spelling of the name has been changed through time. It seems that Albert's descendants spelled the name Copening and Corpening -- the latter more generally used, while John's descendants spelled Chorpening.
