Volume 3, pages 136-137 - Biographical Sketch of Alfred A. Pancake.
"ALFRED A. PANCAKE. One of the respresentative and honored citizens
of Harrisburg is Alfred A. Pancake, now retired from active business, but
formerly an enterprising factor in the business circles of Harrisburg. He
was born June 22, 1829, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Jacob Pancake, the
father was born in Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, in 1803. He was educated
in the private schools of Harrisburg, and early in life learned the trade
of saddler and followed it for several years. He was associated in this
line of business, on Market Square, with Samuel Hayes, and finally sold
out and engaged in the lumber trade, with George Trullinger, under the
firm name of Trullinger & Co. On account of failing health he sold his
business and lived a retired life for a few years, dying about 1840. He
married Susan Trullinger, by whom were born the following children:
Alfred A., of this notice. George, married Margaret Moore, of Harrisburg,
both now deceased. Caroline, died 1906, was wife of Theopholas Weaver,
deceased. Edwin, married Isabella Lindsey, in Harrisburg.
Alfred A. Pancake, son of Jacob and Susan (Trullinger) Pancake, was
born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, June 22, 1829, and educated in the
public schools. When quite young he learned the machinist trade, in
Schuylkill county, following it for several years. In 1856 he engaged in
the planing mill business and operated in lumber, at 500 Race street,
continuing for thirty years. About 1886 he sold his lumber business and
retired. In 1874 he erected for himself a residence at No. 33 South Front
street, where he resided several years. In 1894 he built a house on the
corner of Second street and Reily, where he still lives. Politically Mr.
Pancake is a Republican, but of the independent type, supporting the best
fitted men, regardless of party lines. He is a member of the Westminster
Presbyterian church, of Reily street, of which he has been a trustee for
many years. He is a director of the Harrisburg National Bank.
He married, in 1854, Martha Edwards, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, by
whom four children were born, three of whom died in infancy. The fourth
child was Gertrude, who died 1894; she married Alfred Snavely, of
Harrisburg, two children living-Martha and Gertrude. (See the family
sketch of Mr. Snavely elsewhere in this work.) The mother, Martha
(Edwards) Pancake, died at the age of fifty-four years. For his second
wife Mr. Pancake married, 1894, Emma Edwards, daughter of Matthew Edwards."

Dear Lowell,
It took some time, but I found the story of Peter Pankake in Egle's notes
and Queries of Pa. 1700-1800s Third Series, vol 111. It is called "A Ride
from Shanks Hill to Harrisburg," and begins on page 19. On Pg 24 it says
"That brick house and white barn on the hill to the right are the property of
the Widow Metz. They are modern and have no history; but the white house and
barn just beyond was the ancient dwelling of the Pancakes. There lived,
years ago, Peter Pancake, who achieved distinction by his agility and
reckless driving. It is related of him that he could jump over a five-barred
gate with ease, and stand upon his head on the top of a fence post, getting
up and down without difficulty; and that he sometimes drove two horses to a
wagon without either pole, shafts or brake. Since Mr. Pancake's time the
property has passed through various hands and is now owned by James Boyd, of
Harrisburg."....
This Peter Pancake was my husband's ancestor. He died Dec.22, 1819 at
the age of 94.
