THE LEHMAN FAMILY.
I. MARTIN LEHMAN was born January 1, 1744, in Wiesbaden, Germany, coming to America with his parents in 1746. The latter located in Berks county, Pa., on a tract of land north of Reading. Martin learned the trade of a carpenter, and after his marriage purchased some fifty acres near where the town of Pinegrove, Schuylkill county, is located. Here he built a log cabin, cut out doors and windows and re- moved there with his wife. The place Was surrounded by wild beasts, and during the absence of Mr. Lehman, his wife would fre- quently rise from her bed and shoot from a rifle at the wolves to drive them away. Deer and other game were plentiful and supplied their table. Much of the time Mr. Lehman was employed building cabins in Lykens Valley.
The soil, however, not being very produe- tive, in the year 1796 he removed to Lancas- ter county on a farm belonging to James Patterson who was then in his minority and under the guardianship of his brother Arthur. This farm lies on Little Chickics creek one half a mile cast of the town of Mount Joy. Here he resided for a number of years. Martin Lehman d. September 13, 1801. Frederica C., his wife, b.

They had one daughter who be- came the wife of Christian Heist- and, whose farm lics adjoining the village of Landisville, seven miles west of the city of Lancaster, on the pike to Harrisburg. Here they resided long enough to raise a family of ten children to mature age. These children all remained in that and the adjoining counties, except John, the eldest, who went to California and dicd there. Four are dead, and six survive of the de- scendants of Catharinc.

Henry's daughter Catha- rine married Benjamin Brubaker, and they had six sons and six daughters, of whom only David and Peter survive of the sons, and of the daughters, Leah, Sarah, and Fanny. Henry's daughter Sarah married S. Zimmerman and they had six sons and five daughters, of whom only Jacob, David, Fanny, Sarah, and Martha are living. The fifth member of Henry's family was John, who married Elizabeth Storet. They had fivesons and three daughters, of whom John, Daniel, and Catharine are dead-Joseph, Henry, David, and Margaret surviv- ing their parents. Henry's daughter Elizabeth married David Switzer.
