From Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 49:
John Dunkelberger, grandson of Clement, was born in Windsor
township, near Hamburg, in 1740.He married there and had two sons by
that marriage, in 1780 (at which time hewas a widower) moving with his
son George to the northern part of the MahanoyValley, in Northumberland
county - that part of Mahanoy now embraced in Little Mahanoy township.
He received from the State, a warrant for more than two hundred acres of
land, located north of Line Mountain and between that and Mahanoy creek.
The Indians were his neighbors, and were friendly to him, but during the
terrible Indian disturbances his family on several occasions had to flee
for safety. There he built a stone grist mill and stone dwelling house.
In 1814 he is credited with a grist and saw mill on Mahanoy creek which
mill is said to have been the first in that section. He built the mill
several years after locating in that district. On the John Dunkelberger
homestead still stands a large stone house, 45 by 35 feet in dimensions,
and two and a half stories high, which was built in 1818, the year in
which this pioneer died. Large, well-selected stones were used in its
construction and the wall is exceptionally strong.
After settling here John Dunkelberger married again and had two
sons by his, second wife, Solomon and Jonathan, from whom most of the
Dunkelbergers arc descended. These pioneers are buried on their own
farm on an elevation below a piece of pine woods, about fifty feet
northeast from a public road. Their graves are marked by marble
tombstones, inscribed as follows:

From Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 49 (similar info on pg 123):
DUNKELBERGER, a name well represented in Northumberland county,
originated, according to tradition, from Dunkel Berg, a spur of the
Black Forest. Little is known ofthe Dunkelbergers before the time of
the Reformation. During that period they espoused the cause of the
Reformers, and their descendants to the present day have continued to
adhere to Protestant denominations. Up to the time of their emigration
to the New World they were industrious and patriotic citizens ofwhat is
now the Kingdom of Wurtemberg, in lower Germany, but being deprived
there of their religious liberty they turned to America, coming hither
in 1728by way of the Rheinfeld, down the Rhine to Holland, whence they
sailed in theEnglish ship "Morehouse," landing at Philadelphia Aug. 28,
1728. They proceeded at once to what is now Berks county, Pa., locating
in Windsor township, a little southeast of what is now the borough of
Hamburg. They were frequently molested by the Indians. These emigrants
were Clement, Daniel and John Dunkelberger. Clement who was the
ancestor of the others (the name of his son Daniel, however, does not
appear in his will), at once paid taxes to the English Crown. "Clementz
Doncleberger" is on the first list of taxables of Windsor township
(1754). He paid 6 tax in 1759. At the time of his death, in 1782, his
homewas in Windsor township. His will, made Feb. 12, 1776, was
probated April 8,1782, and is on record in Will Book B, page 38. At the
time the will was madehis wife Anna Maria was still living. Their
children were (no record of Daniel): Clemens, who obtained the
plantation; Catherine, married to Andrew Winiger; Mrs. John Beck; John;
Frederick; Christopher; Elizabeth, married to MichaelDeck; Philip;
Sevila; Magdalena; and Dorotha.
