Raised on his father's farm atHalten.  His letters indicate that his
education was somewhat better than theusual German immigrant of that
period.  It has been written that he came toAmerica to avoid
conscription, fearing that because of his size and strengthhe might be
forced to join the guards of Frederick Wilhelm of Prussia.  The guards
were all of gigantic stature.  While this may have been true, he may also
have been influenced by the fact that his older brother, Johan Heinrich
would and did inherit the farm.  The last of June, 1726, he sailed from
Holland for America via England, and arrived at New York on St. Michael's
Day, 9/29/1726.  He was accompanied by his wife, 2 oldest sons, the
younger of whom died on the voyage, and his sister, Anna Catrina, who
later married Heinrich Dierdorff.
His first job in America was probably as a weaver.  Two years afterhis
arrival, he settled on the Raritan River near Amwell, New Jersey, which
is now in Delaware Twp., Hunterdon County, NJ.  He first rented land, but
by1734 he had a farm of 105 acres.  His sister, Anna Catrina lived near
them.
After 1738, a rift developed in the church that the Fahnestocks and
Bolthousers attended.  This caused the Fahnestock family to move to
Conestoga Creeknear Ephrata in the spring of 1741.  On 1/12/1749, he
received a patent for335 acres, 2 miles from the community grounds and
1mile south of what is nowknown of Lincoln.  He sold 50 acres of it to
his brother-in-law Heinrich Dierdorff.  In 1759, he bought 400 acres on
Bermudian Creek in Manchester Twp, York County, 300 acres of which, in
1771, he equally divided between his sons,Daniel, Benjamin, and Borius.

By Oct 31, 1737, the Dierdorff's had one son and 3 daughters. They
probably

years ago. She had 8 children of whom 3 are living and 5are dead"
