Notes

Note N101The children of Martin Andreas were members of the Unionville Reformed Congregation while they resided in Heidelberg Township and those who removed to the East Penn Township became members of the Ben Salem congregation (now the Dinkey Memorial Chucrh) in Ashfield, East Penn Township, Carbon County.

Came to America on Ship "Leslie". Landed in Philadelphia on 1071749. Probably due to the Edict of Nantes in 1685, which Lord Acton, a Catholic, has called the "greatest wrong ever inflicted on Protestant subjects of the Catholic state". The revocation resulted in the severe oppression of the Huguenots in the Kingdom of France.

He settled in what is now Heidelberg Township, Lehigh County, PA.

Property warrant on 115/1754 for 237 acres in what is now Washington Township, Lehigh County. He held this property until 8/281783 when he sold it to his two sons Peter and William.

He spoke French all his life, but he could probably also speak German.
