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

Joseph Fenstermacher, son of Jacob, was born about the year 1750 in Longswamp, where he also acquired land, being taxed for 100 acres in 1779, and for 150 acres in 1780. His WILL is on record at the Berks courthouse in Vol. 4, page 363. It was made Dec. 26, 1805, and probated Aug 4, 18o6. His wife, Anna Margaret, m. n. Hoak, was the executrix, and provision was made in the will for his son, Johannes, to have the first right to the land at valuation, after her death. Her death evidently occurred prior to 1812, for on March 23rd of that year the heirs of Joseph Fenstermacher gave a release deed for 180 acres to his son, Johannes. The following are the names of their eight children:

i. Johannes, b. Feb. 8, 1776.

2. Peter, b. NOV. 20, 1778.

3. Rebecca, b. March 6, 1781, (wife of John Rau).

4. Catharina, b. Oct. 13, 178:2, (wife of George Kuhl).

5. Magdalena, b. Sept. 8, 1783, (wife of Jacob Leibensperger).

6. Elizabeth, b. May 24, 1788, (wife of Adam Keller).

7. Jacob, b. Sept. 11, 1789.

.8. Joseph.

Peter and Jacob are not mentioned in the WILL, nor were they parties to the release deed, probably having died before their father.
