Notities over Johann Michael Hanspacher Rager

Ancestor of William Dewald Rager, member of All Saints, Anchorage

Johann Michael Rager was born on 07 Apr 1759 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA as the third child of Conrath Röger and . He had four siblings, namely: Johann Conrad Sr, Eva Maria, Mary and Johann Jacob. When he was 20, he married in Aug 1779 in Somerset, Pennsylvania, United States (Some Family Trees give this individual's name as Mary. First Wife). When he was 53, he married another Mary in 1813. I am not sure they were all "wives".I have done limited research on this subject and can‘t find where one man one women actually started. He was rumored to have seven wives and 27 children. If divorce was not available, then Michael had several "wives" at the same time. During research for this tree, I have found that each Michael named a child Michael and that Michael had a child called Michael. Some traces can lead to an individual being in two places at the same time in order to reduce this I have used the Senior, Junior, et. for direct descents of Michael. Johaann Michael Rager was not in Crawford CO PA

Spring of 1775 (age 16), Johann Michael Rager enlisted in the United States Militia at Lancaster PA. George Washington was named Commander-in-Chief Jun 1776.

This unit was deployed to Philadelphia area for the battles of Brandywine Sept 11,1777; Clouds Sept 16, 1777; Paoli Sept 20, 1777.The American Army engaged the British at Germantown Oct 04,1777.George Washington wintered the American Army at Valley Forge. Michael Rager was a guard at the POW until the end of his service in 1779. Michael filled for a Revolutionary War Veterans pension in 1832 at the age of seventy-four. He was granted $80.00 per year. Revolutionary War Pension Record E-84-15-1. It should be noted that his brother Jacob served in the military while his sister Mary supported the revolutionary army.

In 1790, Michael Rager Sr (age 31). traveled with Prince Gallitzin (Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin) from Huntingdon PA over the Appalachian Mountains through Blair's Gap to the McGuire Settlement( Loretto), then Michael Rager moved southward and resided in Jackson Township near the settlement of Wimber where Michael (Age 48) and sons according to the St. Bartholomew‘s History and a several Cambria County historical documents established a Tavern and Livery in 1807 and it operated until 1875. This Tavern was located on a line between Cambria and Sommer Hill Townships on the Old Franklin Road (AKA Galbraith Road). The Tavern and stable was moved to Ford's Corner on what is now Route 22 around 1840 when the Cambria Turnpike became the main overland freight route between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
