The Pannebecker family of Cumru and Brecknock Townships consisted of no less than eight gunmakers. Although some, like Samuel and Jess also worked in nearby Lancaster County, the grandfather, Daniel was one of the first to make guns near Mohnton in the late 1700s. Through marriages and related apprenticeships the Pannebecker family spawned barrel makers such as Henry Deeds, the Worleys, Cyrus Hornberger and the Schnaders – the last gun barrel makers along the Wyomissing Creek.
