• Notes

  He and his wife came from Germany in 1725 and settled near Philadelphia, where he was a saddler and a farmer, and became reasonably prosperous. A paragraph from his will displays some marvelously vernacular language: Be it know that I, Lodowick Zirkle, in Franconia Township that long time agoe have given and bequeathed one acre of land for the use of the prober Lutheran Church where the congregation have build upon one church. She is to to have and to hold said described so long as soon a moon a shining, for no other use then for the said prober Evangilly Lutheran Church.
