Son of Jeremias & Maria Eva Krebs, he was born in Pappenheim, MittelFranken, Bayern, Germany. Michael was buried February 21, 1745.

Johann Michael Krebs (1677 – 1745) – Johann Michael Krebs was born in 1677. He was married to Margaretha Barbara[2]. We do not know the exact year He immigrated to Pennsylvania with his family; he immigrated before definite records of ship passenger lists were kept. They came from northwestern Switzerland (an area which was intermittently German or Swiss territory and German speaking) or from Germany. Michael Krebs settled in Philadelphia County (now Montgomery County, Pennsylvania) and bought land in 1722. He was comparatively wealthy, owning 350 acres. His name appears as taxable in Hanover Township, Philadelphia County, in 1734. There is a Krebs Family Tavern in 1723 in New Hanover. In March of 1725 he signed a petition to build a road from "Farmers mill near Schwenksville to George Wanner's mill on Swamp Creek". In 1743, at the April term of the Supreme Court, Michael and his two sons, Heinrich and Simon were naturalized and took the oath of allegiance. He was a member of the New Hanover Lutheran Church.
