 General Notes:
Frederick achieved the rank of Private in the Revolutionary War. He enlisted in Pennsylvania. His pension application made in 1833 is available from the National Archives. (C-163,293, 458,547) He apparently owned land in Herford Township, Berks Co., PA as he was taxed at 12.9 in 1785. He lived next door to Ab'm Harp at that time who paid 1.3.6 in taxes. As he had no known brother named Abraham, this could have been his uncle or possibly a cousin. (C-431) He died two weeks after he moved to Montgomery Co., Ohio. (C-714) He was an early settler in Montgomery Co. who came with other German families from Pennsylvania. (C-776) 8 9
