The following interesting letter from U. S. Senator, Hon. John W. Kern, of Indiana, is ad- ded as a conclusion to the foregoing sketch be- cause it embraces valuable information relating to this family.

UNITED STATES SENATE, Washington, D. C., January 25, 1912. MR. WM. J. DIETRICH,

Allentown, Pa.

MY DEAR SIR :- I have read with much interest your recent letter. It gives me pleasure to give you as full information as I have respecting my an- cestry. .

My great-grandfather was Adam Kern. who came to this country from Germany before the Revolu- tionary War. I assume that it was twenty or twen- ty-five years before that war, because my grand- father, Jacob Kern, who was one of his younger sons was born during the revolutionary period.

Adam Kern, with two brothers, first settled in Pennsylvania, but afterwards migrated to Virginia, where he laid out the little village of Kernstown four miles from Winchester. The other brothers re- mained in Pennsylvania. I do not know their names. My grandfather, Jacob Kern, was born at Kerns- town, but my father, Jacob H. Kern, was born in Shenandoah county, Virginia, in 1813.

Adam, Nicholas, Jacob and John, were family names. Adam Kern had sons thus named, and my father's brothers-all older than he- were nam- ed Henry, Isaac, Nicholas and John. I have no doubt but that the Pennsylvania Kerns are descend- ants of my great-grandfather's brothers. The simi- larity in the family names would indicate this.

Josiah Quincy Kern, of this city (1825 F. St., N. W.), has for many years studied the genealogy of the Kern family. He is an old man, long in the government service, and corresponded for many years with my father, before the latter's death in 1900. I believe that Joseph Quincy is of Pennsyl- vania stock, though he came here from Ohio.

With kind regards, I am,

Yours very truly, JNO. W. KERN.

Thomas Christie Kernahen, father of Mrs. D. D. Roper, was born in Belfast, Ireland, May 24, 1822. He emigrated to America April, 1843, and located in Philadelphia where for some years he held a position as draftsman of steam-engines.

In 1857 he removed to Allentown and opposite the Court House opened the first queensware and glassware store. The success of the new enter- prise required a larger building, and he bought and occupied the site now occupied by Zollinger, Harned & Co.

In 1879 he pursued the study of theology and was a supply minister in city missions.

KERSCHNER FAMILY.

Conrad Kerschner was a pioneer of Berks county, Pennsylvania. It appears that he had first located to the west of the Schuylkill river in Bern township, but, about the time of the or- ganization of Berks county, in 1752, he settled in the territory east of the river, in Windsor (now Perry) township where he paid a Federal tax of sixteen pounds in 1759. The following year, in 1760, the purpose to build a church in that neighborhood was agitated, and Conrad

Kerschner made a journey to Philadelphia to secure a donation of land from the Penns for church purposes.

KICHLINE FAMILY.

The Kichline family is one of the oldest in the eastern part of the State of Pennsylvania. The name was originally written Kächline, and later generations changed the form to Kichline and Kechline, the former variation being most fre- quently used.

John Peter Kachline, a resident of Heidel- berg, Germany, emigrated to this country, ar- riving Sept. 21, 1742, and settling in Bedminster, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, in the same year.

Colonel Peter Kächline, son of John Peter Kächline, was born in Germany, October 8, 1722, and died on the farm of his son Peter, about two miles west of Easton, Pennsylvania. He was one of the trustees to take charge of the funds subscribed in England for the education of the poor in Pennsylvania. The first school house was built by subscription, his name being the second on the list. The building was finished in 1755, and was the first free school in Penn- sylvania. Dec. 21, 1774; the Freeholders and Freemen of Northampton county, held a meet- ing in the court house, at which Peter Kachline was chosen one of the judges of election and also a member of the committee of safety. Jan. 9, 1775, he was elected a representative for the provincial convention to be held at Philadelphia, Jan. 23, 1775. The committee of safety met at Easton, Oct. 3, 1775, and the officers from all the townships were present. The county was divided into four districts, over seven hundred men constituting the First Battalion, and Peter Kachline was elected colonel of this. Later he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the "Flying Camp." That this body of soldiers was engaged at the battle of Brooklyn is attested by the re- port of the British commander who wrote, after this engagement, "General Grant was killed by Kachline's Riflemen." Colonel Kachline was wounded and taken prisoner, while his son, Lieu- tenant Peter Kachline, who faught in the same company, was mustered into line, unharmed after the battle, at Elizabeth, New Jersey. In April, 1780, Colonel Peter Kächline resigned his com- mission in the army, and retired to civil life. From 1764 to 1772 he served as sheriff of North- ampton county. He erected the first grist mills on the Bushkill. The act of incorporation was

passed, Sept. 23, 1789, and section third desig- nates Peter Kächline as chief burgess, and he" died while still in this office, Nov. 27, 1789.

Andrew Kachline, a brother of Colonel Peter Kächline, returned to Europe and became a distinguished general there.

Lieutenant Peter Kachline, son of Colonel Peter Kachline, served bravely in the War of the Revolution, as mentioned above. He built a substantial stone house in 1794, known as the Fountain House, because of a clear spring on the grounds. A huge stone near the apex has carved on it: "P. K., 1794." He served in Captain Arndt's company at the battle of Brooklyn. He was the father of: Jacob; David; Peter, of further mention; Michael; John; and Eliza- beth Ackerman.
