Andreas Brüngger and Regular Herter- Swiss Immigrants Andreas Brüngger was born in July 1699, the third son of Hans Konrad Brüngger and Maria Weidmann. On 26 April in 1720 he married Regula Herter in Elsau, Zürich, Switzerland. Their first two children did not live beyond a year (one born in 1721, and Hans Konrad born in 1722). In 1724, Ulrich was born; followed by Jacob Brinker (Sr) i n 1726 (d 1785); Maria Elisabeth (1727-1798); Abraham Brinker (1734–1764). It’s difficult to determine if the entire family immigrated together but Andreas arrived in Philadelphia arrived with other Swiss and Germans in 1735 on the ship Brigantine Mary . Andrea's name was "anglicized" to "Brinker" in the colonies. Andreas' wife, Regula Herter (Hester) was born in Hettlingen, Zurich Canton, Switzerland on September 8, 1695 to Junghans Hester (Herter) and Barbara Gutherz. I would guess she may have immigrated with the children when the youngest (born in 1734)...
