Alias:Diedrick /Fahnestock/ REFN: 7507 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.
