The family first lived in a cabin he got from Rebecca's father in lieu of Slaves (see the book "Leinbachs In America" by Laurel Miller).
The family moved to Bartholomew County, Indiana in c1830, traveling through western Kentucky, crossing the Ohio River at Madison, then passing through Columbus to St. Louis, Bartholomew County, Indiana, arriving six week before Christmas.

In 1838, after selling his farm, he moved his family to the south edge of the Village of Hope (corner of Jackson and Main). John and Rebecca were the parents of two known children, namely:
1. Amanda Lavinia (listed as Levinia on her tombstone) Leinbach Rominger (1818-1904)
2. Solomon Shepherd Leinbach (1821-1905).
