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

      Philip Fenstermacher, the youngest son of Mathias, was born Feb. 27, 1713, and was also a member of the Longswamp Reformed church. At an early date he acquired valuable land on which in later years iron ore was found in large quantities. Some of this land is still in possession of his descendants. In 1767 the proprietary return shows him to have been the owner of 150 acres, and in, 1779, 250 acres. He was also the owner of land in Lynn township, this county. He died June 15, 179o, and his WILL, dated July 1, 1789, was probated at the Berks court-house, on July 9, 1790. In the will provision was made for his wife, Elizabeth and after her death for his eight sons and one daughter: (1) John and (2) Christian, who, with his wife, were the executors, were given his dwelling and plantation of 249 acres and 6o perches (3) Peter was given another plantation of 103 acres and 140 perches, whereon he then resided; (4) Jacob was given (pounds)300; (5) Abraham, (pounds)350; (6) Magdalena (wife of Christopher Eylert), (pounds)300; the remaining sons (7) Philip, (8) Michael, and (9) Daniel, were evidently provided for during the lifetime of their father. Paul Grosscup and John.Borger were the witnesses to the WILL. Elizabeth Fenstermacher, the widow of Philip, died Oct. 1, 1791, aged 65 years and 11 months. They are both buried in the old graveyard adjoining the Longswamp church, of which they had for many years been faithful members.
