Gottleib Mittelberger and Pennsylvania of 1750
Stumbled on this pdf file of Gottleib Mittelberger's description of his journey to PA in 1750 and the conditions there (he eventually returned to Germany). Provides some context for the Rippeys and Orsons.

David Pomeroy
Thanks to a message through ancestry.com I now know more about a second cousin: David B Pomeroy.
My grandmother, Ada Rippey Harshaw, had an elder sister Mary, who married F. Crawford and had children, including Ada Vere Crawford. Ada Vere married a Pomeroy and had 6 children, with David Pomeroy her youngest. Ada's husband died in 1918, 2 years after David was born. David grew up to be enlisted in the Army in March 1944. (Enlistment record says he had one year of college and was separated with dependents.) After training he was shipped as a replacement to the 134th Infantry Regiment, 35th Infantry Division which had been fighting since early July.
He was one of the volunteers for the "Baby Patrol", which rescued 80+ young children from a chateau between the American and German lines. He was later captured and served out the war in a POW camp.

A Rippey To Get to Know
According to this article, Dennis Rippey is planning to produce 3 million gallons of wine a year. No, I can't connect Dennis to Captain John.
