Zephaniah's immigrant ancestors were Christophel Banckert and Anna Eva Shriver both born about 1685-1690 in Germany. They sailed from Rotterdam, Holland on the Ship Mortonhouse, John Coultas, Commander, stopped briefly at Deal in England on June 15, 1728 and after a voyage of nine weeks they arrived at the port of Philadelphia on August 23, 1728. The next day the passengers composed of about 207 persons of which 80 were men, left ship. All males sixteen years and over were taken to the Court House in Philadelphia on High (now Market) Street where they signed oaths of allegiance to the British Crown and were then released to their waiting families.

Zephaniah B. Bankert was born in 1826 in Carroll County, Maryland. He was the son of Daniel Bankert and Matilda Catherine Hoppe.

He married Alice B. Kemp about 1852 in Maryland. Zephaniah known as "Zep" was a cigar maker. They lived near Hanover for a time in the early 1860's where they had a home on Frederick Street in what is now called Pennville.

They traveled with other pioneer families and settled in Hanover, Morristown, Indiana in early 1870 and participated in the great American story.
