The Lynch and Stanger families
of South Jersey
More than

The Stangers were a family consisting of a Grandfather, Parents, Seven sons and a daughter.
They came to America from Germany and eventually founded the town of 
Glassboro, New Jersey.
"This [The Stanger Family] must be acknowledged as the first of of Glassboro's first families. The Stangers merit this recognition if for no other reason than that they were Glassboro's first pioneers, a family that left its native Germany to seek a new life in the New World. . . But there is still further justification for bestowing upon the Stangers the proud title of "Glassboro's First Family." A careful study of the Glassboro Story throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries offers evidence that they, more than any other family group, maintained a deep interest and concern for the town they founded. The Stangers followed up their founding acheivement with a steady, unspectacular effort to guide Glassboro's growth in desirable directions. "

The Lynch family came to the United States from Ireland. John Lynch, the first of my Lynch family line to arrive in the US, was a boilermaker who graduated from the University of Dublin. He arrived in Boston, and moved to Philadelphia around the time of the centenial exibition of 1876.
