Nathan Drumbore, a successful farmer residing in Packer township, Carbon county, was born in the Mahoning valley, in Mahoning township, Carbon county, in 1845, and is descended from German ancestry. The family was established by German emigrants in the valley during the pioneer epoch in its development, and since that time representatives of the name have been numbered among the industrious and valued citizens of that locality. Thomas Drumbore, the father, was born in Lynn township, Lehigh county, and became a wealthy farmer of Mahoning valley, owning and operating over two hundred acres of very valuable farming land. He was both practical and progressive in his agricultural pursuits, and his labors brought to him a very gratifying financial return. He married Miss Kate Fenstermacher, who was also born in Lynn township, Lehigh county, and his death occurred in 1867, while his wife survived him until 1900. In their family were seven children: Nathan, Alfred, William, Henry, Elvina, Drucilla and Lena.
Nathan Drumbore was reared under the parental roof, and acquired his education in the public schools. His life has been devoted to the butchering business and to agricultural pursuits, and in both lines of activity he has prospered. At one time he owned a tract of land in Mahoning valley, where he resided for a number of years, or until 1888. At that time he removed to Lehighton, where he engaged in the butchering business, remaining a resident of the latter place for ten years. He enjoyed a good patronage during that period, and at the end of the decade sold his interest and removed to Weatherly, making his home there until 1903. In that year he purchased his present farm, situated in Packer township, Carbon county. This comprises one hundred acres of very rich and arable land adjoining the corporation limits of the borough of Weatherly on the west. He devotes his attention to the raising of the various cereals best adapted to the soil and climate, and in connection with his farming interests he also conducts a livery stable, which is largely patronized by the people of the borough. He keeps good horses and fine carriages, and has secured a liberal patronage in this department of his business. His farm is improved with all modern conveniences and equipments and is indeed, one of the valuable properties of the community.
In 1869 Mr. Drumbore was united in marriage to Miss Dreher, of Lehighton, Pennsylvania. She is a representative of a family of farming people who through generations have been worthy citizens of this state. Her parents were Casper and Mary (Beil) Dreher, and their family numbered thirteen children, eight of whom are now living, namely: Renerville, Mary, Ellen, Elvin, Charles, Emma, Ida, and George. To Mr. and Mrs Drumbore have been born ten children, as follows: Elsie, Clara, Harry, Bert, Charles, Edward, Robert, William, George and Alexander.

Died:

Nathan married Dreher, Ellen on 6 Jun 1869 in Carbon Co., PA. Ellen (daughter of Drehr, Casper and Baily, Mary) was born on 14 Sep 1850 in Probably Lehighton, PA; died on 13 Apr 1911 in Weatherly, Carbon Co., PA; was buried on 17 Apr 1911 in Weatherly, Carbon Co., PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

FENSTERMACHER FAMILY
From: History Of Lehigh County, Vol 1,2,& 3.
Transcribed by: Sandra Hart

William Fenstermacher, son of Jacob, was born Oct. 11, 1740, and about the year 1770 settled in Heidelberg township, this county, where he became a man of prominence. During the early days of the Revolutionary War he was a member of Capt. Conrad Roeder's Fifth Company of the Third Battalion of militia, and later served under the same captain in the fifth battalion. He operated a distillery in connection with his farm of 170 acres, and died Nov. 27, 1801, survived by his widow, Margareth Elizabeth, and five children: (1) Philip, b. Oct. 6, 1771; (2) George, b. Jan. 18, 1773; (3) William, b. March 22, 1775; (4) John; and (5) Elizabeth, b. Oct. 25, 1787, wife of Gottfried Peter. Another daughter, Anna Catharina, born in Longswamp township in 1763, probably died young, as no mention is made of her. William Fenstermacher is buried in the old Heidelberg cemetery, and doubtless also his wife, although no trace can be found of her tombstone.

William married Elizabeth, Margaret about 1762. Margaret was born on 15 Oct 1744 in PA; died on 19 Apr 1815 in Heidelberg Twp., Northampton Co., PA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John George Bloss, eldest son of Conrad, was born Oct 15, 1744. He was a farmer, miller, and distiller. On June 29, 1767, he purchased his father's farm, consisting of 278 acres and sixty-three perches for which he paid 250 pounds. On May 20, 1800, he was granted four acres and 137 perches - this tract of 215 acres and he was granted another tract of 215 acres and 130 perches, bordering on Mahoning Creek, in Penn township, Carbon county. On Dec 9, 1784, he took out a warrant for ten acres. George Bloss and David Wyant took out a warrant bearing date Dec 9, 1784, for 220 acres. In 1772, he paid Proprietary tax amounting to three pounds and eight shillings. In 1785 he paid Federal tax on 283 acres of land, three horses and five head of cattle, amounting to two pounds, five shilling and five pence. On March 7, 1806, John George Bloss sold all the land he then owned; but he continued to reside on the homestead with his son Henry until his death. His farm in Washington township, Lehigh county, he sold to two of his sons, John George, Jr.bought 137 acres, fifty perches paid 850 pounds; Henry bought 141 acres, fifteen perches, paid 850 pounds; John Lentz, his son-in-law bought the tract of 215 acres and 130 perches in Penn township,
Carbon county, for which he paid 250 pounds.

During the Revolutionary War, John George Bloss served in the Northampton County militia. In 1778 he was second Lieutenant of the Fifth Company in the Third Battalion.
In 1780, he served as a private eight days on the frontier against the Indians in the Sixth Battalion as is shown in the pay roll of Capt. Conrad Reder's company. In 1781, he served as private in the Sixth Battalion, seventh class as substitute for John Reedy, from May 16 to July 16. Again, in1782, he was a private in the Sixth Battalion. John George Bloss was married two times. His first wife's name is Anna Barbara.

John George Bloss' second wife was Elizabeth --, who survived him at his death, which occurred April 19, 18185, after an illness of about four days. In his will which was made April 15, and probated in Allentown, May 16, 1815, his sons, Christian and John George, Jr. were appointed executor.
In the old cemetery adjoining the Heidelberg church a tombstone still marks conspicuously the resting place of the last remains of John George Bloss:
Her Rehen die Gebeine der verstorbeuen Johan Georg Bloss ist Gebohren den 15ten October Jur Jahr 1744 ist gestorb Enden 19ten Aprill in johr 1815 ist alt worden 71 johr 7 monant und 4 tag.

Notes from FindAGrave.com:
The original tombstone is located in the Old Cemetary on the left side of the Heidelberg Union Church. There are many graves in that part of the cemetary but few surviving headstones. Sadly, this headstone was recently hit by a car and destroyed, but generously replaced by the Church Congregation. It is now a beautiful white marble headstone.

Johann married Schneider, Anna Maria Barbara about 1767 in Heidelberg Twp., Northampton Co., PA. Anna (daughter of Schneider, Johann Frederick and Saeger, Anna Maria) was born on 13 Mar 1748 in Heidelberg Twp., Lehigh Co., PA; died on 01 Nov 1790 in Heidelberg Twp., Lehigh Co., PA; was buried in Lehigh Co., PA.
