  BIOGRAPHY: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~harringtonfamilies/120b.htm Franz Brubach was born about 1650 in the city of Zurich, Switzerland. The Zurich city records from that era are missing and so we can not determine Franz Brubach's parents. Franz had already begun his trade as a blacksmith in Zurich when he immigrated to Annweiler, Pfalz, Germany sometime around the year 1670. He was one of the immigrants that had been invited to Germany to repopulate the area following the devastating "30 Years War." Franz married Susanna Reeb, an Annweiler resident, on July 14, 1674. In Annweiler, Franz continued his work as a blacksmith, a trade which became a family vocation of his children and grandchildren. Franz and Susanna were members of the Reformed Protestant Church in Annweiler. Both Franz and Susan became victims of the Bubonic Plague and died during the same week. Susanna died November 3, 1694 at the age of 43 and Franz died November 5, 1694. The couple are buried at Annweiler. Of Franz and Susanna (Reeb) Brubach's five known children, one son, Johann Michael Brubach (November 22, 1684 - July 16, 1685), died within the first year of life. Susanna Brubach (November 15, 1681 - ?) was confirmed in Annweiler. The second Susanna in the family, Susanna Brubach (May 7, 1682 - ?), was a niece or relative taken into the home. Three sons and probably the two Susanna grew to adulthood.
