He served with other German neighbors in the Berks Co. militia during the Revolution. Married Catherine Henninger, ca. 1772. Lived in Berks Co., moved to Northumberland Co. Next to his stone grave marker is a small metal plaque inscribed "War of 1776." Findagrave volunteer believes he is not in this cemetery, since it's all 20th century burials.
