• Fact: Burial (1802) Lowhill Church, Lowhill Township, Lehigh, Pennsylvania, United States

"S/O Jacob Bachman Sr and Maria Magdalena (Zinck) Bachman. He is believed to be buried at Lowhill, Lehigh, PA. There is a tombstone with just the letters L B. A letter I received from Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center at Kutztown University stated that they thought it a good possibility that the stone is Lorentz'. Lorentz was 1st married to Maria Margaretha Kistler, b. 14 Jan 1744, d. 1768 and his 2nd wife was Susanna Kistler, sister to Maria. Lorentz Bachman has been accepted into the DAR as a Private serving in the Revolutionary War, Sixth Battalion, under Capt. Adam Stahler, and Col. Henry Giger, Northampton County, PA. All three of his brothers also served (Jacob, Nicholas, and Paul Zinck Bachman) in the Rev. War. Lorentz is my 4th great grandfather. Lorentz has three brothers also buried at Lowhill..........Nicholas 1735-1802 #20858236 and Paul Zinck 1744-1823 #84620806 and Jacob, Jr 1731-1796 #84622702.

• All four of the Bachman men served in the Revolutionary War. The DAR has his death date as ANTE 15 Mar 1804 so it could be early 1804 or late 1803."
