Filbert (Schilling)
Johann Peter Pfilbert was born on 27 September 1708 in Gronau, northeast of Frankfurt am Main. He married in Gronau on 25 August 1733 to Anna Maria Stock (born 8 November 1716).
They and their children (4 sons & 2 daughters) immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein), arriving in Fridericia on 2 November 1759. Father Johann Peter died on 21 May 1761 in the colony of Thoring.
His sons Johann Georg & Johann Nikolaus immigrated to Schilling and are recorded there on the 1775 census in Households No. 4 & 5.
The 1798 census of Beideck records Konrad Filbert from Schilling in Household No. Bd94.
The 1834 census of Beideck records that Philipp Peter & Nikolaus Filbert, sons of Konrad, relocated to the colony of Grimm in 1834.
