Our Yingling background begins with Christian Yingling whose German name was spelled Juegling and Jungling. However, for many years after coming to America variations is spelling it included Yenglin, Yingland, Yingelling, and England. Evertually Jungling became established as Yingling.
Although there are few ship lists of immigrants from the very early days of PA history, later family data causes this writer to believe (as does Claud J Rahn in his "Yingling Genealogy of 1958") that Christian arrived in Philadelphia around 1710. Historians of those early years tell us that most of the early immigrants were Mennonite in background. However, this does not fit known facts of the early Yingling family. It is more likely that Christian Yingling was one of the early refugees from the German Palatinate who flocked to London around 1709 to escape the war torn conditions of their homeland. The British government resettled many of these people in Ireland where they quickly found long range conditions unfavorable. Consequently, many of them soon sailed for America and Penn's colony where they were promised a freedom they could not find in Europe. The good reports these early settlers sent back to their homeland then caused the flood of German immigration which began in the late 1720's and continued up to the time of the American Revolution. As our Yingling family was affiliated with the Lutheran Church from the earliest records that can be found of then in this country, it seems most likely that they were some of the first members of that denomination in PA.
Because records of that day are rather scarce, we must take known data and interpret it in light of the pattern of life of that time. As Christian Yingling's first child was born about 1710 it would seem that he met his future wife on board ship and that they were married shortly after their arrival in Phil. Both were probably around 21 years of age and were born around 1685-90. Although her maiden name is unknown, her first name may have been Susanna because that name was a favorite one among their descendants. After marriage they settled down in what was then Salford township, Philadelphia Co. In Daniel Israel Rupp's Book entitled " A Collection of upwards of 30,000 names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French, and Other Immigrants into PA" one finds that in 1734 Christian Yingling was on the tax list for the area as having owned 20 acres of land for some years. That home site is now in Worcester Twp. Montgomery Co, come mile north of Phila.
