| 5 | Biographical Annals of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, pg. 447, biography of David W. Ranck, his ancestors & descendants. Mention is made of his parents John Ranck (b. 1811) & Elizabeth Weidman; his grandfather John Ranck; great-grandfather Andrew Ranck; and great-great-grandfather the immigrant in 1740 Philip Ranck, of German & Swiss parentage, who took the oath of allegiance to King George in 1760. As this Ranck family immigrated in 1740, about13 years after Margaretha Ranck Snader, to Lancaster Co. PA, to Earl Twp.,it is likely that they are related in some way to our Ranck family. |
