After his father Jacob LINEBERRY I sold 20 acres of land in South Hampton (was Bucks) County, Pennsylvania on 22 August 1758 the entire Lineberry family apparently departed Pennsylvania and migrated into colonial North Carolina. It is believed this family migrated in the cooler late summer of 1758 most likely down the great Philadelphia Wagon road. They settled in colonial Orange County in the Bush Creek area near the county lines of what is now Chatham County and Randolph County, North Carolina. This area is one of the communities where other German immigrants had also settled.
The name "LINEBERRY" is an Americanized version of a German name. Various GERMAN spellings include Leyenberger, Liujenburger, Lineberger, Leinberger, Lineburger, and Leinburger to name a few.
The LINEBERRY family reportedly originated in the Hartz Mountains, Brunsweig, Niedersachsen, Lower Saxony, of Germany. The original immigrant ancestor of the LINEBERRY family of Orange, Guilford, Randolph and Chatham Counties in North Carolina, is believed to be Johann 'Jacob' (Leyenberger) LINEBERRY I (1700-1780) based on the 47 years of research of genealogist Dennis York of Dallas, Texas. This scenario is concluded from the passenger list of the 3 September 1739 arrival in Pennsylvania of Johann 'Jacob' (Leyenberger) LINEBERRY I, wife Elizabeth and his nine children from Germany taken from the "Eighteenth Century Emigrants from the Northern Alsace to America" by Annette K. Burgert (Hardcover) Place: Pennsylvania; Year: 1739; Page Number: 338.
An alternate proposal by Olive H. Patterson, Pleasant Grove, UT in a 1969 letter suggests that Jacob Lineberry I (Luijunburger)was born between 1717-1724. This spelling and a birth date of 1724 was proposed by LDS Mr. Patterson.
Jacob LINEBERRY II (Leinburgher, Leyenberger) received a grant of 242 acres from Henry Eustace McCulloh on June 9, 1763 in colonial Orange County, North Carolina. It is unclear whether this is the first Jacob or the second Jacob LINEBERRY. Orange County, North Carolina was formed from Bladen, Johnston, and Granville Counties in 1752, Chatham and Guilford Counties were formed from Orange County in 1770, and Randolph County was formed in 1779 from Guilford County.
On Feb. 6, 1773, Jacob and Elizabeth QUARTER Lienburger/Lujenberger LINEBERRY I deeded their sons Francis and George Linebarger LINEBERRY 121 acres each. This was part of the original McCulloh land grant, and by 1773 it lay in Guilford (now Randolph) County. Jacob Lineberry II received a state grant for 240 acres, in Chatham County, North Carolina, South Fork of Rocky River, part of which (24 acres) they deeded to Jacob LINEBERRY III Linberger on Feb. 14, 1780. This land adjoined the Jacob LINEBERRY II land and James YOUNGBLOOD.
Another tract of 100 acres in Chatham county, a state grant was acquired on March 3, 1779, adjoined David Fox, Matthew Jones, and vacant land."
Jacob LINEBERRY II married Catherine Elizabeth KUPFER in 1750 in Pennsylvania. Jacob LINEBERRY II was born in Germany in 1730 and died in 1792 in Randolph County, North Carolina at age 62. Catherine Elizabeth KUPFER was born about 1721 in Germany. She died about 1792 in Randolph County, North Carolina at the age of 71 years.
The only two known children of this couple are:
1. Jacob LINEBERRY III was born about 1751 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and died Sep 29 1821 Bush Creek, Randolph County, North Carolina.
2. William LINEBERRY was born about 1765 Colonial Orange County and died about 1825 in Chatham County, North Carolina.
