- Andrew Morr served as a Private in the American Revolution in 7th Battalion, Lancaster Co. PA Militia, Captain Thomas Robinson 3rd. Company 7th Battalion, Lancaster Militia, and Captain Boggs Militia Company. He married Catherina Elisabetha Roenninger and they were parents of 9 children.
"Lutheran and Reformed Church of Freeburg"--These distinct congregations erected a Union Church at Freeburg in 1812. The history of each will here be given in connection with the church building.
"On the Morr farm, now owned by Augustus Springman, our forefathers worshipped in a private log house long before a church was erected. In 1770 a patent was granted to Andrew Morr, Casper Roush, a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and Peter Straub, for forty-two acres of land one mile north of Freeburg, for the use of the Lutheran Church. On this land they built a log school-house, which was also used for a church for seventeen years. About six acres of this land is still owned by the Lutheran congregation at Freeburg, and an old cemetery, which has been recently newly fenced and cleared is on a part of this land." In 1787 the Lutherans commenced building a church on the grounds, called Zion's Church, but never finished it. In this church they worshipped twenty-eight years. Pewter Flagon and Chalice was donated by Andreas and Catharina E. Morr on 29 July 1795.

Chapter 2. ANDREW MORR - HIS SETTLEMENT IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA. - BUILDS A LOG HOUSE - THE PLACE WHERE HE WORSHIPED - HIS PUBLIC ACTS - DEATH AND WILL.
What kinship existed between John Morr referred to in the previous chapter and Andrew Morr, whose sketch will now be considered, is not known. It is the opinion of some members of the Family that they were brothers, perhaps cousins. Andrew Morr and his wife, Catherine, were natives of Germany, but there appears to be no record as to the time when they landed in America. "Andreas Morr lived in Shafferstown, (then called Heidelberg village) in 1758, He was born April 30, 1727, and his wife Catherine Elizabeth, April 17, 1732." *
* Dr. William H. Egle's History Dauphin and Lebanon Counties.
There was an Andrew Morr and Catherine Elizabeth, his wife, whose maiden name cannot be given, who located a short distance west of the Susquehanna River, in Penn's township, Cumberland county, Pa., in 1771, for it was in that year Mr. Morr's name first appeals in the assessment list of said township. There can be no doubt that this is the same couple referred to above, for in the author's research for historical facts no other Andrew Morr could he discovered than the one who lived at Shafferstown and subsequently took up his abode in Cumberland county. Previous to Mr. Morr's removal into the locality just mentioned, he made application for one hundred and sixty acres of land adjoining Charles Brunk and George Bumbach on Middlecreek in Penn'a Township, Cumberland, now Washington Township. Snyder County, Pa. The application was dated at Philadelphia, Pa, September 3, 1766. William Maclay, Deputy Surveyor, who then resided at the present site of Sunbury, Pa., was directed by Surveyor General John Lukens to survey the tract and make return thereof within six months from dale of his instructions.
Two other tracts of land were purchased by Mr. Morr, the deeds of which bear date, March is. 1769. One tract was surveyed by virtue of a warrant dated Aug. 11, 1755, and granted to Daniel Oert. The deed sets forth that the said Daniel Oert, residing in Donegal Township, Lancaster County, Pa., sold this land, consisting of 231 1/8 acres for £85 to Andrew Morr, a resident, of Heidelberg Township, in the same county and state. The land was located as follows: "A certain tract of land called Milltown, situate in the Dutch Valley, near Middlecreek, Cumberland County, Pa., John Lukens, Esq., the President of the Supreme Executive Council, signed the patent for the tract, July 9, 1755.” *
* This was the year when land patent were first issued by the State of Pennsylvania.
The other tract was 100 acres. It was "a certain tract of land situate in Cumberland county, Pa., adjoining lands of Hans Endrell and Peter Straub on a run that comes into the Little Mahony (Middlecreek).'' For this tract he paid £70. Mr. Morr located on the tract first mentioned, close to a strong spring of water. The country into which he settled was an unbounded forest of pine trees - a beautiful forest stood far and wide. The whole region was in its natural state and the time was at hand when these new inhabitants commenced to level the wilderness. Mr. Morr's first act after locating on the premises was to cut one of these tall pine trees from which a table was made at which the family partook of their daily meals.
This table for many years was owned by Isaac Morr, Kantz, Snyder County, Pa. Andrew Morr's home was ten miles east of the ancient Indian town of Shamokin.*
*In 1756 the ancient Indian town of Shamokin disappeared from the face of the earth - destroyed by its own inhabitants. From time immemorial it had been an important point with the Aborigines. The seat of a king, the sub-capital of their confederacy south of Tioga, where all paths converged and where war and peace parties met." - Meginness History West Branch Valley, page 159. From different pages of the same volume the following additional information is derived: Governor Morris began the erection of Fort Augusta on the side where the town once stood; the same year Shamokin was destroyed. It was erected in order that the Whites might be the better protected. March 20, 1765, this Fort was vacated by an Act of Assembly, believing that those who chose to settle in the surrounding country would be able to defend themselves.
The locality at the time of his settlement was not entirely free from the Indians, but they now and then frequented it, and the Whites entertained fears lest violence would be done unto them. There were localities where brutal massacres did occur, but none ever took place in the immediate vicinity of Mr. Morr's home.
Jacob Meyer, who lived at Muhlbach, was an intimate friend of Andrew Morr. Both families accompanied each other to their new homes beyond the Susquehanna. Mr. Morr located east while Mr. Meyer pitched his tent the same distance west of where Freeburg is now located. Freeburg, then, was the intervening farm between the Morr and the Meyer farms, and was owned by Andrew Straub, the founder of Straubstown (Freeburg). In the course of time two of Andrew Morr's daughters married sons of Jacob Meyer to which allusion will be made elsewhere.
Mr. Morr built a temporary log house the year he located on the premises, which was occupied by his family until 1775 when a two story log house was substituted. (For sketch of same and surroundings see frontispiece). Here Mr. Morr spent his declining years in peace and comfort. It may not be amiss, perhaps, in this connection to describe briefly the house which he built.
Its dimensions were 40x38 feet; height 30 feet. The ceiling of the first story was made of inch boards. The floor of the second story consisted of two inch yellow pine plank grooved and tightly fitted. Some of them were twenty inches wide. The space between the ceiling and floor was filled with mortar. This is said to have been done to prevent Indians, who often prow led around hearing the sound of footsteps on the floor. The roof was supported by a purlin, the posts which held it were eight inches square. There were four rooms to each story, and the kitchen contained a wide hearth upon which the meals were cooked. The entrance from the porch into a small hall was closed by two heavy doors - an upper and a lower - like stable doors. Stones were placed between the logs in the walls of the first story, then thickly plastered with mortar to insure safety from arrows or bullets shot by Indians. This house was the rendezvous of the settlers for miles around whenever bands of Indians, bent on plunder, entered the Valley. The crevices in the upper part of the building were filled with pieces of wood, then plastered.
A draught of the old log house with its surroundings was specially drawn for this work by the writer's father, Hon. George C. Moyer, of Freeburg, Pa. It was drawn in July 1892, thirty years after it had disappeared. On the 23rd of January, 1893, Judge Moyer had occasion to drive by the premises when he noticed that the old saw-mill was being removed. It was the last remnant of the old buildings. He took occasion to talk to his family about it, and the following information was gathered from the conversation: "The saw-mill was erected by Andrew Morr, one of the first settlers, who came here when this Valley was covered by a dense forest, a quarter of a century before the founding of Freeburg. Thus one by one the old landmarks disappear, places dear to the recollection of my boyhood days. The old mill, which for many years had been silent and dilapidated under the weight of years, held for me at one time a peculiar- fascination. I remember now the busy flutter wheel, the dashing water and the pleasant odor of freshly sawed timber, and also my walk home, when boy fashion I waded in the limpid water.
I can imagine, but never know, the labor performed by our fore-fathers while clearing their land, and remember hearing them tell how they felled the magnificent white oak, poplar, pine, walnut, ash, sugar maple and wild cherry trees. Then the neighbors gathered and had what they called 'log rollings' when the trees were put on huge piles and burned. There was then not a single mill in the neighborhood."
Andrew Morr perceiving now destitute the community was without a place for religious worship set apart two rooms on the second story of his log house for church services. These rooms were thrown into one by means of a swinging partition which was raised to the ceiling before worship began. Here religious services were held for twelve years; it is the earliest place known in the Valley where the people first congregated for the worship of God. This was the period when missionaries frequented the territory with a view of organizing congregations. In May, 1862, Mr. Geo. W. Menges, a descendant of the family, removed the building under the direction of Isaac and Jacob Morr, who then occupied the premises.
The first steps toward building a house of worship in the vicinity in which Andrew Morr had located were taken when land was patented for this purpose. Andrew Morr, Peter Straub and Casper Roush secured a patent for forty-two acres in Penn's township, Northumberland County, Pa., now located one mile north of Freeburg, Pa., as early as April 12, 1774. Building was postponed until 1787, and the log structure then erected never reached completion. This church was called the Zion's, or Morr's church. This church was removed in 1815, after the St. Peter's Lutheran and Reformed church at Freeburg was completed. In the Morr church the members worshiped for twenty-eight years, and there is a tradition that during this time there was no stove placed in it in which to build fire for the comfort of those who attended services during the winter season. This statement, however, is contradicted by the church records of Freeburg, Pa. While it may be a fact that the church was not heated during its early history, there was a stove placed in it previous to the time when it was taken down. From these Records it is learned that on the 8th of January, 1811, John George Morr, son of Andrew, oversigned a coal stove to Frederick Young, one of the deacons of the Morr church, in payment of a claim which the church held against him. The amount allowed was £5. 16s. 6d. Two acres of this land now only remain in possession of the Lutherans, in which is included the churchyard where lie Andrew Morr and a number of his kindred. Although there are four beautiful cemeteries in and near Freeburg, some families in that vicinity bury their dead in their old "cemetery" in the woods.
In 1795, the members of the Lutheran and Reformed congregations, who worshipped in the Morr (Zion's) church, received a communion service from Andrew Morr and his wife Catherine Elizabeth, consisting of a tankard and cup. Previous to this time the wine at Communion was put into a bottle, and a tumbler, also, was used into which the wine was poured. The tankard and cup which were substituted were in use at each successive communion service up to 1880, covering a period of eighty-five years.
The material of this service is of pewter and besides a small crack which the cup received by an accident, both are well preserved. The tankard measures fourteen inches in height and when filled holds two quarts of wine. Mrs. Morr brought this cup with her in an apron, when upon one occasion she was returning on horseback from a visit to Shippensburg, Cumberland County. Pa. Upon each of these there is a German inscription beautifully carved.
The English translation on the tankard reads: "To the praise of God, given as a gift of Charity from Andrew Morr in the Evangelical Lutheran-Zion's Church in Penn's township, Northumberland County, Pa., the 29th of July, Anno Domini, 1795." The inscription on the cup is: "To the praise of God, given as a gift of Charity from Catherine Elizabeth Morr.”
It was customary for some time after the erection of Northumberland County, which took place March 27, 1772, to appoint a committee of three persons from each of the eleven districts known as a "Committee of Safety." Andrew Morr was one of the number who represented Penn's township on the Committee for six months in 1777. At the April term of court, 1795, when a petition of the citizens of Penn's township was presented for the formation of a new township out of a portion of Penn's, Andrew Morr was appointed one of five viewers. Their report was confirmed at the April Courts, 1796. The name given to the new Township was Mahantango; the ridge south of Freeburg formed the northern boundary line, leaving Mr. Morr's residence just outside its limits.
Andrew Morr was a farmer, distiller, and owned a grist mill. He dealt extensively in real estate, all of which was located in Cumberland County, now embraced in the counties of Snyder, Centre and Lycoming, Pa. In 1780, he was assessed with 479 acres of land upon which stood an oil mill, two distilleries, a gristmill and saw-mill. Many of Mr. Morr's descendants are farmers and owners of productive farms. In his political views he held to the democratic faith and a majority of the family believe in the same doctrine. Mr. Morr departed this life in 1801, in the 75th year of his age; his wife preceded him to the spirit world a few years previous. Both are buried in the Morr cemetery. Their resting place is unmarked. After his wife's decease, he married Mrs. Anna Maria Dewald, of Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pa. Anna Maria, or Mary Morr, as she was often called, survived her husband sixteen years, when she, too, was laid at rest in the Morr cemetery. A tombstone is erected over her grave, and, although it is somewhat worn and defaced by the elements, the inscription upon it is still legible to show the exact place of her burial.
The inscription reads thus:
"Here rests Anna Maria, a born Renninger,
Was born July 12, 1747.
She was the wife of Christopher Beisel, Peter Dewald and Andrew Moore.
While married to Christopher Beisel she was the Mother of twelve children,
Died April 26, 1817, Aged 69 years, 9 months and 11 days."
Andew Morr’s will.
Before his death Andrew Morr made his Will. He appointed as his Executors his two sons John George and Philip Morr and George Mootz (Motz). August 18, 1801, the two first named appeared before Jeremiah Simpson, Esq., Sunbury, then Register and Recorder of the county of Northumberland, Pa., when the Will was probated. It is altogether probable that Mr. Morr's death occurred but a short time previous to the day when it came into the hands of the above official. The will which is on record at Sunbury, (Book 1, pages 219-51,) reads as follows:
"I, Andrew Moore, of Penn's township, in the county of Northumberland, in the State of Pennsylvania, do make and publish this my last Will and testament in manner following:
That is to say first, I give and bequeath to my beloved wife Mary one hundred pounds to be paid unto her by my executors one year after my decease. I do, also, give and devise unto her one inlot in Freeburg N - joining Paul Ruckert, and fifty perches of land joining the same lot and an inlot near said town joining Philip Meyer, Jr., the lots to his heirs and assigns forever, in fee subject to the payment of the yearly ground rent due on the said outlot. I do, also, give unto her the use of my black horse for one year. I do, further, give and bequeath unto her all the household goods and other movable property which she was possessed of at the time I intermarried with her, also all articles of provisions in my house, all the wool of last shearing, last year's crop of flax and linen to be made thereof, one cow, four hogs, two sheep, one watering can, one frying pan, two cider barrels, to hold to the heirs and assigns. I do, also, give her the use of the house wherein I now live with stable and gardening belonging thereto and the one-half of the product of the small orchard, containing twenty-four apple trees, joining the barn, to be separated by fence from the remainder of the field to hold to her during the time she remains my widow. I do, also, order and direct that the land and plantation which I have hereinafter given to my son Philip, shall be subject this year to the payment of fifteen bushels of wheat and seven and-a-half bushels of rye, seven bushels of buckwheat, five bushels of oats and three bushels of corn, to my said wife, and yearly during her natural life if she shall so long remain my widow, the said land shall be subject to the payment to her of ten bushels of wheat, five bushels of rye, and the quantity of oats, buckwheat and corn first mentioned. My son Philip shall, also, deliver unto her during the term aforesaid at her dwelling the necessary fire wood for six months in each year, commencing the 15th day of January, and ending the 15th day of July, and find her hay for her cow and two sheep. He shall, also, permit her to plant and plow and prepare in good season for her to plant one eighth of an acre with flax and one-eighth of an acre with potatoes, this also to be prepared for her yearly during her widowhood. He shall, also, give unto her this season one and-a-half barrels of cider, one and-a-half gallons of apple whiskey, ten gallons of rye whiskey, and every season thereafter, he shall deliver unto her during her natural life, if she so long remains my widow, five gallons of rye whiskey and the quantity of cider and apple whiskey above mentioned when the season's good for apples if not, then he is to give the half of the cider and apple whiskey, also an additional half barrel of late made water cider, and suffer and permit at all times the cow and sheep of the said Mary to run with his own cattle in pasture. I also give her the use of a hoe, churn and axe during her widowhood. I have a debt due me by Fetty Haas of five pounds and eighteen shillings, which I do, also, give unto my wife for the purpose of paying for the weaving of the yarn, both linen and woolen of last year which I before gave her.
I do, further, order and direct that the land and plantation, which I hereinafter give unto my son, George Moore, shall be subject and he, the said George, his executers and administrators, shall be subject yearly and every year during the widowhood for six months from the 15th day of July to the 15th day of January next year, and every year thereafter during her widowhood as aforesaid, ten bushels of wheat, five bushels of rye, five bushels of oats, and three bushels of corn, also to give the use of and plow the seed for five and one-eighth of an acre for potatoes during the term aforesaid and five gallons of whiskey, also to be delivered her during the time she remains my widow. After this next harvest he shall give her five bushels of wheat, two and-a-half bushels of rye, seven and-a-half bushels of buckwheat, five bushels of oats, and three bushels of Indian corn, for the just and true performance of what I have given, devised and bequeathed that to my said wife and my sons George and Philip Moore have jointly entered into bonds to Simon Snyder * in trust for her use the one whereof for the payment of one hundred pounds and the other for the delivery to her what I have further directed and given in lieu of her dower.
* Simon Snyder, a native of Lancaster County, came to Northumberland, now Snyder County, in 1784. He located at Selinsgrove, Northumberland County, Pa., where he resided until his death, November, 1819. His home was but four miles cast from where Andrew Moore located. Both were intimate friends. Mr. Snyder was a justice of the peace and served for twelve years and it is supposed he wrote the Will for Mr. Moore. After serving as a member of the State Legislature iron, 1797-1807, he filled the Speaker's chair for five years and was Governor of the State for three successive terms, 1809-17.
And it is my will and I do declare that the several articles, things, privileges and premises herein before given, bequeathed and devised shall be taken to be in full, for and in lieu and satisfaction of her dower or thirds, all claims and demands of, in, to or out of any estate real or personal.
Item - I do give and devise unto my son George Moore, his heirs and assigns forever, one hundred and fifty-six acres and seventy-five perches of land and allowance, being part of the plantation I now reside on and whereon the mills are situated to hold to him by the metes and bounds set forth and described in a deed thereof made to him, bearing even date, herewith (subject to uses herein before given to my wife) and do value the same to him at and for the sum of seven hundred pounds, whereof I abate him two hundred pounds as his proportionate share of five hundred pounds he has given me a bond or obligation considered for the payment of forty-two pounds yearly until the whole sum is paid; the first payment to be made on the first day of May, 1803.
I do, also, give and grant unto him, his heirs and assigns forever, the use of the water passing in a race through the land hereinafter devised to my son Philip, and for ingress and egress to and on the same for men, cattle and carriages, for the purpose of digging, repairing, maintaining and upholding the said race and dam, and to take and remove or place earth, stone and other materials from, to or any part of the same dam or race within half a perch from high water mark, or either side thereof forever, with as little damage to my said Philip as possible. It is further my will and I do order and direct that my son Philip Moore, his heirs and assigns, shall forever have the right and privilege to use the water out of the race for the purpose of watering the meadow once every week, which period of time shall commence on Saturday at sunset and continue to next Monday at sunrise.
And, further, if my said son Philip shall have occasion to make any repairs to his spring, it shall be the duty of my son George Moore, his heirs and assigns to let off, or draw out of the dam, the water standing therein, so that the necessary repairs can be made with effect; but the dam shall remain in such state not longer than two days at any one time. The intent of any repairs shall always be to lead a sufficiency of water through my son Philip's cellar, as it has been used for many years past. My son Philip, his heirs and assigns, shall, also, have the privilege forever to lead out of the said spring as much water as shall be necessary for his distillery.
Item - I do give and devise unto my son Philip, his heirs and assigns forever, two hundred and thirty-one acres of land and allowance, being part of the plantation I now reside on by the metes and bounds set forth and described in a deed thereof made to him (subject to the use herein before given to my wife Mary and subject likewise to certain rights vested in my son in relation to the dam and race and the water therein,) and do value the same to him at and for the sum of nine hundred and sixty pounds lawful money, whereof I abate him the sum of two hundred pounds, his proportionate share, for the residue of seven hundred and sixty pounds he has given me a bond, conditioned for the payment of fifty-eight pounds yearly until the whole sum is paid, the first installment to be paid on the first day of May, 1803, and like sum yearly for eleven years to come, and the last payment which happens to be sixty-four pounds is to be made on the first day of May, which shall be in the year 1816.
Item - I do hereby authorize and empower, enjoin, and require my sons George Moore and Philip Moore to sell for the joint use of my heirs by private sale or otherwise the land real estate which I and my wife by deed bearing even date herewith, do convey unto them in trust for the benefit and use of them, the said George and Philip, my other legal heirs as well as all other lands, seized and possessed, and I do empower them or the survivors of them, to make the needful and suitable deeds of conveyance or conveyances of the same to the purchaser or purchasers of the same. The land which I have conveyed to my sons this day * in fee, to wit: the plantation whereon I now live is not comprised in the above expression relative to the sale of real estate, but the sale thereof to them respectively is absolute in fee subject, however, as before ordered and directed.
* This is one instance where a Will was made that is void of the date of execution. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has ruled that “A Will with attestation is valid in the absence of the date and attestation both may invalidate the instrument." In the original copy of this Will, the face of a man appears as a seal after Andrew Moore’s signature.
I do further order and direct that the one hundred pounds, payable to my wife, shall be paid out to my estate, no two-thirds standing, the bond given to my two sons for that sum for her use. The money arising from the sale of my said lands as my other personal property of whatever name or nature the same may be, not herein before given and bequeathed unto my eight children, to wit: one equal eighth part to George Moore: one-eighth part to Philip Moore; one-eighth part to heirs and legal representatives of my daughter Christina Roush, deceased; one-eighth part to my daughter, Margaret Meyer, wife of Philip Meyer; one-eighth part to the heirs and legal representatives of Magdalene Bolender, deceased: one-eighth part to the children of Catherine Elizabeth Weaver, wife of Michael Weaver; one-eighth part to Juliana Meyer, wife of Jacob Meyer, and one-eighth part to Barbara Stees, wife of Frederick Stees, and to their respective heirs and assigns forever. The two bonds given hereby my sons are excepted out of this equal distribution and I give and bequeath them to my other heirs excluding my two sons from any part therein, I having before made them abatements in the price of the land.
N. B. The words ‘the children' were intended in conformity my wish, will and direction, for it is my will and I do order and direct that the share of my daughter Catherine Elizabeth shall go to her children share and share alike. And lastly, I do, here-by, nominate, constitute my sons George Moore and Philip Moore and my good friend George Motz, executors, and the survivors or survivor executor of this my last will and testament, declaring this and no other to be my last will and testament.
Andrew Moore.
"Letters signed, published and delivered by the said Andrew Moore, as his last will and testament in the presence of Frederick Evans, Jr., Simon Snyder, Michael Shawer."

- From Genealogy of the Meyer Family by Henry Meyer. 1890.
Philip (son of Jacob, son of Gr. Meyer) was married to Margaret Morr, sister of his brother John Jacob's wife Julia, daughters of Andrew Morr, one of the early settlers in the region where Freeburg, Pa., is now located. The respective family histories of the Meyers and Morrs have been running in parallel streams for over a century with frequent intermingling of their branches all along their course. The first record of marriage between the two families is that of Philip Meyer and Margaret Morr, which occurred about the year 1780 ; and the members of the families still continue to intermarry in Ohio. Philip was the oldest of the sons ; heavy built, muscular and active, but not as tall as his brothers. He was a noted wrestler in his day, and was not averse to contests of a more serious nature, as his numerous experiments in that line seem to demonstrate. But that was in an age when physical power was at a premium. The man who could leap the greatest distance, could kick the highest and hit the hardest blows was a hero and received the applause of society. There was a vast amount of hard work to do in those pioneer days, and for want of labor-saving machinery; it had to be accomplished by sheer physical force. Hence, any exercise which tended to muscular development, or exhibited physical vigor in its greatest perfection, was cherished and applauded. - Philip served in the Revolutionary War, being a member of Capt. Ben. Weiser's company. Adam Schaeffer was Lieutenant of the company, and subsequently became captain by promotion.
Note. - Andrew Morr came from Germany, and settled near the present site of Freeburg, Pa., sometime prior to 1770. He took up a large tract of land and improved it. There was erected on his farm a stockade for protection against the Indians. He and Jacob Meyer were near neighbors, and both pioneers in the new country. Morr was a prominent member of the Lutheran Church; and a man of influence in his neighborhood. He died in 1805, and is buried at Freeburg, Pa. There were seven children. I copy a partial list from a sketch prepared by Miss Mary E. Morr, West Salem, 0., for a Reunion of the Morr family, June 9, 1887. Of the seven children, Miss Morr names only four, viz: -
I. George, oldest child; died in 1818; buried at Aaronsburg, Pa. Married to Catharine Diefenbach. Had been a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Moved to Centre County, Pa., in 1792. Had twelve children : - George, Philip, Peter, Mary, Andrew, Elizabeth, John, Adam, Michael, Daniel, Benjamin, Samuel. All but Adam moved to Ohio.
II. Philip, lived at Freeburg; died in 1826. John Jacob was one of his sons.
III. Margaret, born August 20, 1759; died March 12, 1829. Married Philip Meyer.
IV. Julian, born July 18, 1770; died Nov. 8, 1824. Married John Jacob Meyer.
