The German settlement at Skippack was an outgrowth from the Germantown
(Krefeld) settlement, most of the early settlers being Mennonites. This
settlement is in present-day Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County near the
village of Evansburg. The original settlers of 1702 came
earlier to Germantown (Hendrick Pannebecker, Johannes Kuster, Johannes
Umstat, Klas Jansen, and Jan Krey). Those listed as coming later may have come
directly from Germany to Skippack and are therefore listed here.
