Was Mennonite preacher

Land was in what is now E. Lampeter twp , near Mellinger's meeting house about four miles east of Lancaster City at the intersection of the Horse-shoe and old Philadelphia Roads No records tell to whom this pious man was married, and unfortunately info is meagre for several succeeding generations Benjamin. Felix and John were Swiss Mennonites from the vicinity of Manheim on the Rhine where they had been driven from ZUrich Purchased land from Penn and the Conestogoe Indians Comparitively poor in worldly possessions - hands so full of work they failed to keep family records Became instinctively American in their progress and proceeded at once skillfully to till the soil which has since made this county known around the world as the "garden spot" Hee these pioneer people worshiped their God according to their desire and in peerfect peace.
