Notes for Johan Peter Lenhart: Subj: Re: First Location of JPL - A historian Date: 2/16/00 12:35:02 PM Pacific Standard Time From: GKBopp@aol.com Reply-to: Lenharts@listbot.com (FamilyHistory) To: Lenharts@listbot.com FamilyHistory From: "The Lenhart Family of Greenwich and Albany Twps., Berks County, and York County, Pa" (Library of Congress and Genealogi- cal Society of PA version.) By Wm. H. Rinkenbach, A.B., M.S. 1937 [From the first two pages; the *#* items are reference numbers; they are underlined subscript in the original but I put then in * so I could send this by e-mail.] Johan Peter Lenhart, the first of this family in Berks and York Counties, Pennsylvania, arrived at Philadelphia on the ship "Two Brothers" and on Sept. 15, 1748 swore allegiance *1* to the King of England. He was accompanied by his wife Maria Marga- retha and a number of children. He signed the register "Johann Petter Lenhart" and so was able to read and write --- an ability shared by the minority in those days. Following a route taken by many of the early German settlers, Peter Lenhart soon settled in what is now Berks County, for on Mar. 9, 1749 there was surveyed a tract of land of 25 acres warranted *2* to him. This land then formed a part of Philadelphia County, as it was not until 1752 that Berks County was formed. From this early purchase of land it appears that Peter Lenhart possessed at least some means. On Jan. 30, 1750 a son Johan Peter was born *3* to Peter and Margaretha Lenhart in their new home in Greenwich Twp., Berks County; and on Mar. 7, 1752 another son, Frederick, was baptized *3* there. In 1752 Peter Lenard was included in the first list of taxable residents *4* of Greenwich Twp., and in 1758 he and his wife Margaretha acted as sponsors at the baptism *3* of their grandson Johan Peter (113), son of their son Philip (11). Between 1758 and 1767 Peter Lenhart moved to York County, for in 1767 he was not a resident of Greenwich Twp. *5* and on Mar. 31st, of that year he and his wife acted as sponsors at a baptism in York County. This change meant the breaking up of the family, as some of the children accompanied their parents, sone [sic] remained in Berks County, and one or two may have sought new homes for themselves. Peter Lenhart spent the rest of his life as farmer in Dover Twp., York County, and he and his wife are buried there in the graveyard of Salems Church near the village of Dover. REFERENCES 1. Proc.

Just when I was getting into the church records I had to leave but managed to pull out some abstracts, a few church records and the county history. Some name included on the tax list were for my info. on other families. History of Berks County in Pennsylvania, By Morton L. Montgomery, member of the Berks County Bar; Philadelphia: Everts, Peck & Richards, 1886. Page 1076: GREENWICH TOWNSHIP. Before the erection of the county Greenwich township was a part of Albany township; but shortly after that time it was erected into a separate township. The name arose from Greewich, a pace in England, and it was doubtless suggested by the English settlers in this section of country. The boundaries could not be ascertained. The area is abut fourten thousand acres. EARLY SETTLERS.-Henry Kohler was an early owner of a large tract of land in the southern part of the township, including the farm now owned by Adam Stein, where he built a stone house over a large spring. This buildng is still standing, being used as a warehouse for Stein's distillery. Yost Henry George was another pioneer who made substantial improvements near by, some of which still remain. To the north Henry Smith (father of Samuel, Jonas and Benjamin Smith) improved a large tract of land, having been assisted in this work by his sons; and to the east the Grimm family took an important part in improving the township. These families have honored descendants still residing in the same vicinity. In 1749 Peter Lenhart, of York County, received a patent for a tract of land which he conveyed to Jacob Lenhart in 1771. At what is now Lenhartsville, Henry Lenhart lived and also his sons John, Jacob, Samuel, Isaac, Henry David and Frederick, most of whom had families of their own and resided in this locality. In the western part of the village one of their buildings remins, it having been put up in 1812. To the southeast, in the neighborhood of the church which bears their name, were the Dunkel family, whose descendants are found in all parts of the country and have become leading citizens; and north of them the Klines reared families, whose members may still be found in Reading and other points in Berks County. In the east part of the township the Christ family made a stettlement which permanently fixed their names upon that locality. TAXABLES OF 1759.-The township had the following taxables in 1759. The tax then levied amounted to 35 pounds, 15 Shillings, and Frederick Moser was the collector: George Bowman Leonard Bauman Henry Faust Adam Faust Philip Faust Peter Lenhardt Philip Lenhardt George Riegle John Sasseman Skip to page 1077: INDUSTRIES.- (SKIP TO): At the centres made by these mills and taverns there were usualy small tanneries and other industries. Of these, Jacob and Peter Grim had a tannery on the Henry Greenewald place, which had an unusually good reputtion for producing fine leather. The pottery at Lenhartsville was carried on about thirty years, but not since 1870. Common ware only was made. Above this village, wehre are the most important interests, on a stream flowing into the Ontelaunee, John Lenhart has a pioneer mill, which was afterward operated by Benjamin Lenhart. The new mill built in 1876 is the property of Daniel Grim. On the Ontelaunee, a short distance below Lenhartsville, George Merkel built a stone mill which was burned down in 1875. It was rebuilt by the Merkel estate, and remodeled in 1885 by the present owner, Jacob K. Sparng. The mile has been supplied with a set of rollers nd other modern machinery, enabling the production of twenty-five barrels of superior flour per day. Skip to: CHURCHES. NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH, (REFORMED AND LUTHERAN).-As early as 1744 a Reformed congregation (known as the High Dutch) was organized in the southwestern part of the township, to which Conrad Koch presented two acres of land upon which to erect a house of worship. A log house was built and used for church purposes until 1790, when forty acres more were secured and a new building, also of logs, built by the joint efforts of the Lutherans and the German Reformed people .I'll continue this at another time.Robert I found these Lenharts
