Limbaugh family

Last updated

The Limbaugh family is a prominent political family from Missouri. Its members have served as attorneys, politicians, judges, and political commentators in Missouri and the United States. The most well-known member is former conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh. The first family member in America, Georg Friedrich Limbach, was born in Germany c. 1737 and immigrated to the United States, arriving in Berks County, Pennsylvania, as a young man in 1753. In 1758, Georg married Anna Catharine Ritter and had six sons. [1] Georg settled in Missouri Territory in 1800 with his youngest son Michael and 19 other families. The family developed ties to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and served in a number of municipal capacities, including the governance of Southeast Missouri State University.
