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 Margaretha 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.

FamilyHistory Nan, I managed to get a little time in tonight but had to quite early because I had a concert ticket tonight. 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 in a Church record in Tulpehocken Twp., for Christ Lutheran Ch. Stouchsburg, which is about 50-60 mines south west of Lenhartsville. I was just looking over the church records and took a sampling in the Berks area. There are other church records closer to Lenhartsville that I'll be able to read. This record starts in 1745: Baptisms: 1788 Nov 1 - Dec 7- Adam - George Lenard w. Susan - Micael Walboorn w. Catharine 1790 Nov 19 - Dec 5 - Elizabeth - George Lenardt w.

Dear Hal,  (12 May 2000)

I just received e-mail from Bob Lonstreath mentioning that he corresponds
with you. and I asked him for your e-mail address.

As a descendant of Johan Ludwig Friedline and Anna Margaret, I feel that she
was a daughter of Johan Peter Lenhart.  Here is what I have on her:

Anna Margaret Lenhart was born in Zweibrucken, Germany, and came with her
parents to the United States in 1748 abord the ship Two Brothers.  She is
listed in the ships records with her mother who is listed as the wife of
Johan Petter Lenhaart.

In an article entitled, John L. Lenhart, Chaplain of the Cumberland, by
Charles Berhkeimer, 1966 published in METHODIST HISTORY, there is the
following quote:  For those who are genealogically inclined, more is known of
the Lenhart family.  Henrys father, Godfrey, was one of the nine children of
immigrants Johan Peter and maria Margaretha Lenhart -- the other known
children being Anna Margaret, Philip, Frederick, Johan Jacob and Johan
George.  Henrys brother, William Yost Lenhart, was a prominent mathematician
and poet.

What have you been up to since I last corresponded with you?  I  understand
that you were on a mission to Europe which must have been rewarding.  I hope
all is well with you and your family.

Johan and Anna Margareth arrived in Philadelphia September 15, 1748aboard the ship "Two Brothers".  They settled in Greenwich Twp., BerksCo. where he had land surveyed on March 9, 1749 and was taxed inGreenwich Twp. in 1759.  He was a cooper and moved to Dover Twp., YorkCo. before 1762.  He was one of the organizers of the Strayer's LutheranReformed Church in Dover Twp.  In 1771 he sold his Berks County land tohis son Jacob. He and Maria are both buried in Strayer's Lutherancemetery in Dover, York County, Pennsylvania.

In 1758, Johan Peter and Margaretha acted as sponsors at the baptism oftheir grandson Johan Peter, son of their son, Philip.

March 31, 1767, Johan Peter and Margaretha acted as sponsors at a baptismin York County.

Peter left a will made in March 1774 (apparently on his death-bed) andwas probated on April 8, 1774.  His will mentions his wife Margaretha andhis nine sons; Philip, Jacob, George, Christopher, Henry, Peter,Frederick, Godfrey and William as found in Rinkenbach. [pg 2]

What was the author's source?Perhaps one of those bio entries? For Godfrey? One of his sons/descendants?(The article provided by descendant Dorothy Jones.)Aloha, Georgia

I wanted to say that I have an image of the 1838 Land Survey mentioned by Robert. I had noticed the nearby Lenharts - but had never thought in terms of it being a clue as to the connection between Anna Margaret Friedline being a Lenhart.

                   Jacob was taxed with 125 acres in 1767 and 160 acres from 1779 to 1785.

Per Rahn, [pg 48], Jacob was a member of Capt. Smith's Co. of BerksCounty Militia, and in 1781 was a Fifer in Capt. Ladich's Co.

Reffing Rahn's notes [pg 49], he quotes from the Mongomery's History ofBerks County, p. 1076, that states "In 1749 Peter Lenhart of York Co.received a patent for a tract of land which he conveyed to Jacob Lenhartin 1777.  At what is now Lenhartsville the latter's son Henry lived andalso the latter's sons John, Jacob, Samuel, Isaac, Henry, David andFrederick."  In Orphans Court, Reading Pa., Vol. 4, Book #1, pg. 217dated October 18, 1793 appears a petition of Jacob, eldest son of JacobLenhart.  Jacob (Sr) died leaving widow, Barbara, and 7 children, Jacob,Catherine wife of Frederick Moyer, Christina wife of John Hornberger,John, Henry, Phillip, and Sebastian...the last three were minors.

In 1780 he served as a Private in the Revolutionary War, and resided inDover Twp., York Co., PA.  In 1781 he moved to Carlisle, Cumberland Co.,PA and in 1782, was taxed there as a wagon maker.

He was a communicant at Shippensburg Lutheran Church inCumberland(Franklin) County, PA on May 27, 1787 and October 14, 1787.  OnFebruary 16, 1789, Christoph purchased lot #70 in the town of Carlisle,Cumberland County from his brothers, Godfrey and William which they hadpurchased on July 25, 1788.

A Linhart/Lenhart researcher asked:
What is the proof that Johan Peter Lenhart's son Jon Christoph/Christopher of Westmoreland Co., PA, is not the Christian that moved to Allegheny Co., PA?
Nancy Lenhart Thomas responded:
Well, I will give it a try........I will use Christian LINHART and Christopher LENHART just to keep the families straight.Christopher LENHART Sr., a wagonmaker, moved to from York Co. to Franklin Co. PA and the church records in the Shippensburg church have his children (including his son Christopher Jr) in the communicant's class in the 1780's.In 1790, according to the land records inYork Co. PA (where he bought land from his 2 brothers - other sons of JPL) he is selling that land. He is also selling his Franklin Co. PA land. According to Westmoreland Co. PA, Unity Twp land records in 1790, Christopher LENHART 'of Franklin Co. PA' is buying land.Now Christian LINHART Sr. moved from York Co. and has been in Westmoreland Co. PA for quite a few years by 1790. He was one of the earliest settlers in the area. His land eventually turns into Allegheny Co. Our JPL Christopher's land is still in Unity Co.. Westmoreland Co. PA. and doesn't get put into Allegheny Co. Even though Christian LINHART Jr also bought land in Westmoreland Co.,PA., there are separate families here.Now then, In 1805 from the Zanesville office of the Ohio land records, we have Christopher 'of Westmoreland Co. PA' buying land in Muskingum Co. OH. Later in his life, he sells this land. In 1812 and 1824 he is buying more OH land and is 'of Muskingum Co. OH'. Also, his Will is on file in Muskingum Co. OH in 1848.Christian Sr.'s Will is in Allegheny Co. PAChristian Jr.'s Will, I have been told, is on file in Westmoreland Co. PA.So we have, I believe------Chris LINHART and son in PA and they stay there.and JPL's Chris LENHART and son moving west with Jr ending up in OH. I have not confirmed the location of Christopher LENHART Sr's death. I am working on it.I don't know whether I have explained this clearly enuf to clear it up or maybe I have just muddied the waters even more. Just to throw a monkey wrench into the works........I suspect JPL and Christian LINHART were brothers in Germany.Nan********************** ~ Descendancy ~ ****************** ~1~ Hanns Velten Leonhardt -6- Isaac P.

Following SOURCE: Copy of a letter in the Somerset Historical Societyfrom John N. Lenhart to Mrs. Eber Cockley dated February 10, 1989 - thisnote was sent cc to the Historical Society.  Excerpted sections from theletter:
       "I used to visit my great grandfather, Peter Lenhart, on his farm asa boy with my grandfather, Peter John Lenhart in Chili, Ohio.  Accordingto my research, Peter Jr. intermarried with Yorty, Nancy, and a wife atLigonier was born in 1811.  A letter from Charlotte Lenhart Johnston,owner of the Hotel Lenhart in Bemus, NY, dated November 1, 1955 statesthat: (1) the name of her grandfather was Peter and that he was a stonemason near Ligonier, Pennsylvania (Westmoreland County), (2) that membersof the family are buried at Beam Church Cemetery near Somerset, (3) thather grandfather married a Catherine Jordan, (4) that there was a sonCyrus, M.D. and that her father (a son of Peter) was John Jordan, M.D.This coincides with estate information about Peter who died at Ligonierin 1889 at age 78.  The name of his wife at that time was Eliza -apparently the third wife in the Eber Cockley notes of 1963.
       According to Clarence Lenhart of Coshocton, Ohio (grandson of Peter)in correspondence with Charles Ross Shultz of Swissvale, Pennsylvania inthe 1940s, Phoebe, a daughter of Peter, stated that Peter's father nevercame to Ohio.  If so, the Miller History statement that the family cameto Ohio after 1825 is incorrect.  My census search shows them in SomersetCounty in 1830 and 1840."

The Family of Johan Peter Lenhart, Jr. and  Catharina ?  (Greg Lenhart's site)
Johan Peter, Jr. very likely had three wives: (1) Catharina, (2)Barbara Messner, (3)Catharine Ogg 
LENHART OR LANEHART IS THE QUESTION Name spelled as Peter Lanehart by first US Census in 1790. 
Two deeds 1791, 1792 in Hagarstown, MD Court House show Peter signing his name as Lenhart in German script on both deeds. 
MILITARY INFORMATION 
In 1775, Johan peter Jr. served as a Seargent in a MD regiment of the Revolutionary war. In 1783, he was listed as a Private in aLancaster County, PA Militia.

                   Godfrey was a noted silversmith and clock maker who had a store on MarketSquare in York, PA.  He served as county commissioner 1787-1790 andcounty sheriff 1792-1795.  His will was probated on August 23, 1819.


From John L. Lenhart, Chaplain of the Cumberland by Charles Berkheimer,1966:
       "Big Burly and impulsive -- these adjectives used to describeChaplain John Lenhart equally applied to his father, local preacher Rev.Henry Lenhart.  He was born in York in 1783, where his father GodfreyLenhart was a prominent citizen - a silversmith and clock maker whosestore was on Market Square, and who served as county commissioner1787-1790 and county sheriff 1792-1795.  His mother was the former MaryElizabeth Harbaugh, daughter of pioneer Yost Harbaugh."

From William H. Rinkenbach, 1937:
       "Godfrey Lenhart was a man of some local prominence, as he wasactive in the organization and operation of post roads, a fire company,and the York Bank (now the York National Bank and Trust Co.).  Clocksmade by him are in existence and one of these is supposed to have beenused in the Court House at York to time the sessions of the ContinentalCongress which met there."
NOTE: In 1976 when the "bicentennial bus" traveled around the U.S. withartifacts from around 1776, Godrey's clock that timed the ContinentalCongress was one of the items on the bus.  Also, in the 1990 period, oneof his clocks was auctioned off in York, Pa.

GODFREY LENHARTGodfrey Lenhart, of York Town, silversmith and clockmaker, was the son of Johann Peter Leonhart and his wife Maria Margaretta who came to America in 1748, on the Ship Two Brothers, arriving at Philadelphia, September 15, 1748. They settled in Dover Township, York co., where they were members of Strayer's Church, and where probably Godfrey was born on March 15, 1754, according to Jacob Barnitz' Diary, which records his death August 15, 1819, aged 65 years, 5 months, 0 days.In a loose page in the First German Reformed Church Register, apparently a page torn from a family bible, contemporaneous with the evnets, are these data:"Godfrey Lenhart intermirred with Elizabeth Holtzinger Nov. 14, 1778 [which marriage record also appears in the Marriage Registry].Sept. 5, 1797, our daughter Margreda was bornOct. 3, 1781, our daughter Elizabeth was bornJuly 22, 1784, our son Henrich was bornJan. 19, 1787, our son William Jost was bornOct. 10, 1791, our daughter Catharina was born"Many of the records of births and baptisms of these children also are recorded in the German Reformed Register.Godfrey Lenhart's silversmith shop was located at the northwest corner of Continental Square and North George Street, in York, where Whelan's Drug Store now operates, Lot No. 69 on the General Pan of Yorktown.
