Research:

The parents of Yost were Frederick BINGAMAN, b. 15 Jan 1755, d. 30 Oct
1845. He married Maria Christina HUFNAGLE on 6 Apr 1779. She was b. 3 May
1758, d. 12 Apr 1818. They too are buried in the Troxelville Union Cemetery.

Catherine married Engel Schrader within three years of the Nov. 13, 1832 death of her first husband, Yost Henry Bingaman.

THE BINGAMAN FAMILY OF ADAMS TWP. By Dr. J. C. Shuman 

In an autographic record in my possession, Frederick Bingaman tells us that in 1754 his father, Johan Jost Bingaman and wife, Juliana, whose maiden name was Ort, came from Germany "aus der Wetteran" to America. 

In Rupp's "Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants" I find the name of J. Jost Bingaman in a list of passengers who came over in ship Edinborough. James Russel, Master, from Rotterdam, and landed in Philadelphia Sept. 30, 1754. Those people came from the Palatinate and Wurtenburg, in southern Germany. Frederick Bingaman says "I was born in Istum, County Jan. 15, 1755" (I know of no such county). His father, Johan Jost, died in July 1755 Where his father died and is buried, and what became of his mother I do not know. 

At the time when the first U. S. census was taken in 1790, a Frederick Bingaman and family lived in Ruscomb Manor township, Berks Co. This Fred had then one son over 16 years old, two sons under 16 and two daughters. 

Frederick Bingaman who came to Snyder Co., says that on April 6, 1779 he married Maria Christina Hufnagle, who was born May 3, 1758. She was a daughter of Johan Christian Hufnagle and her mother's name was Maria Elizabeth. 

In the list of residents of Ruscomb twp., Berks Co., of the census of 1790 I find Christian Hufnagle and family of three sons over 16 years, two under 16, and two daughters. Again I find a Henry Swartz and family in this same township of Ruscomb. I will let the reader decide whether this Fred. Bingaman, of Ruscomb Twp., is the one who came from Berks Co. to Snyder County afterward and became the father of the large family by that name. 

That Frederick Bingaman, of Adams township, came here from Berks there is no doubt. Those who knew, said that he was a soldier in the American Revolution and fought in the battle on the Brandywine. 

He and his wife had 12 children, 6 sons and 6 daughters. How many of these children they brought with them to Snyder County, I do not know. He must have come after 1794, because we know that his son, Henry came with him and he was born in 1794. 

Fred Bingaman's wife died Apr. 12, 1818 and was buried on the 14th in the cemetery of St. Heinrich's Church, Rev. Gerhart officiating. The text of the funeral sermon was "Kom, Sterblicher, betrachte mich." 

Father Bingaman died in Adams township Oct. 30, 1845, aged 90 yrs., 11 months and 9 days, and is buried in St. Henry's cemetery. He must have had a second wife, since he calls Maria C. Hufnagle his "first" wife. Of this large family of children, of which at least nine lived after 1818, I know only one, namely: 

Henry Bingaman born 1794 and died 1861. Henry married Christina Moyer, born 1797. Her son, Jacob, says she was born in Northumberland County. It would be interesting to know just where she was born. She may have been born in Snyder County for all that, since Snyder County was a part of Northumberland County in 1797. Henry was a soldier of the war of 1812. This data I have from "Susquehanna and Juniata Valleys "Vol. II p. 1582. Henry Bingaman had the following children: Yost; John Frederick, married to Susan Partch; Isabelle, married to Jacob Neidich; Christiana, married to Elias R. Swartz (see Swartz family) , Jacob, married Catherine Fetterolf, (see Fetterolf family) ; Elizabeth, married Abraham Hufnagle; Gutelda, married William Swengel; Mary Ann, married William Wagner; Amanda married Henry Middleswarth, of Kansas. 

Of these children I know none bin Jacob and Christiana. Jacob Bingaman was born 1826 and died 1897, was born one mile east of Troxelville on the farm now (1918) owned by his son, John Fred Bingaman, which farm was his father Henry's while he lived. Jacob tilled the same land until a few years before he died, when John F. Bingaman, the present owner bought it. Dec. 23, 1852 Jacob Bingaman, married Catherine Fetterolf, daughter of Peter Fetterolf and grand daughter of Henry Swartz. 

Jacob and Catherine Bingaman had the following children: Elizabeth born 1856 married Ner M. Middleswarth whose children are, John S., Prudie E., Charles J., Sarah C., William; (2) D. Jacob Bingaman born 1869, married Alice A. Middleswarth who have children: Verdie G., married Fùltz; Jacob C., Charles E., Cottie, Hazel, Merrill and Lucinda. (3) Savilla Christina born 1863, married 1880 to Dr. J. C. Shuman, has two children, Mabel Patti, married Daniel Thomas. Mabel has three children, Robert C., Marjorie A. and Lester G. ; Cottie Pruella Shuman, born March 30, 1886. (4) Anna C., born 1865 and died 1883. (5) John Frederick Bingaman born 1868 and married Fanny Berge. (6) Ida C., born 1870 married to Mr. Walter.
