Individual Note: Presumably Johannes farmed in Pennsylvania, as that is what we know he did the rest of his live. However, he did not own any land of record there, probably because he could not afford to by any at this time. He apparently heard about the cheap land on the western frontier, probably from John Leman, who was no doubt Dorothea's oldest brother. John Leman acquired land on Great Pipe Creek, Frederick Co., MD in 1749, and his brothers George, Hans and Jacob mover there also, as did Christian and Susanna Jungling. About 1763 Johannes Kesler and his young family headed for this same area, approximately 100 miles on a straight line, but much farther by horse, over the mountainous terrain. On 25 Feb. 1764 "John Kaislaer" received a patent for 25 acres of land called "Good Will," near the present village of Tyrone, 5 miles southeast of Tanytown, and approximately 20 miles from Gettysburg, PA.
Johannes and his family lived in Maryland during the entire period of the American Revolution. His son John served in Capt. Geroge Striker's company, enlisting when he was not quite 16. Johannes' son John is thought to have been mustered out of service near Troutville, Va. In any event, he saw and liked the Blue Ridge Mountains, as he acquired land in Botetourt Co. in 1785.
John Jr.'s sister, Susan, went to Virginia about the same time he did. Jacob Kesslar, whom we assume was their brother, also arrived there in 1785 or before. We do not know whether some of them returned to visit the family in Maryland or just kept in touch by mail, but Johannes and the rest of his family joined them in Botetourt Co., VA immediately after selling his land in Maryland in 1791
