William J. Best, son of Adam, his wife having died, sold his farm a mile east of Walnutport and resides with his children: Mary A., died; Cath- erine R., married A. M. Minnich, and lives in Allentown ; Cora, married Mr. - Reinert ; William A. Best married Rosina Becker; and Wesley F., Jennie Hunsicker, and lives in Neffs- ville.

Jacob Best, son of John, born 1821, probably on his grandfather, Henry Best's, farm in the eastern border of Walnutport. He bought a farm in Washington township, Lehigh county, and lived on it. He was a carpenter by trade. He was a Lutheran member of the Unionville congregation, a deacon and one of the building committee that erected the present large church. His wife was Mary, daughter of George Krause. They had the following named children: Rose A., married David Reber; Madina, died; Elias, who lives at Neffsville; and David E, who lives at the old homestead, near Friedens church. Jacocb Best died in 1876 and with his wife is buried in the Unionville cemetery. David E. Best was educated in the common school and at Eastman's Business College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He was reared on the farm and at an early age showed a fondness for bees. He has made a busi- ness of dairying, having as many as forty-four cows, and in 1911 fifty swarms or hives of bees. He is not only a truck farmer, but an apiarist and dairyman. He has the golden Italian bees and makes a specialty of Queen bees, which he sells and sends by mail to Texas and other states, hav- ing a large market for them.

Solomon Best (a grandson of John and great- grandson of Henry Best), owned a 100-acre farm where Best's postoffice and station on the Berks and Lehigh railroad now is. His wife was Caroline Peter. They had two sons and two daughters, Wilson, Lewis A., Henrietta J., and one daughter, who died in infancy. He and his family were Lutheran members of the Heidel- berg church.

Solomon Best was an economical, thrifty farmer. He erected the buildings in which there has been a general country store for about forty years and Best's postoffice since 1875. The writer remembers seeing him some twenty years ago. He was a typical Best and Pennsylvania German.

Lewis A. Best, son of Solomon, was born 1856, in Washington township, Lehigh county. He worked on his father's farm till he was of age. Then he was in the mercantile or store business and had charge of the post office four years. In 1881 he went to Missouri where he was em- ployed a year as apiarist. His next work was in California, where he was with a man who had

three hundred swarms or hives of bees, that made tons of honey every year. Mr. Best having returned to Lehigh county, in 1885, married Rosa J., a daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Blose) Wehr. The next year he began farm- ing on what is known as the Jacob Peter home- stead, and where he has since lived. Mr. Peter erected the stone house and log barn that are still used, about one hundred and fifty years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Best have had four children : Bessie L., died; Hattie, married George Hun- sicker, Gertie B., and Jessie S., are at home.

Henrietta J. Best is the wife of Jarius Krause. They live and have charge of the business at Best station.

N. B .- The writer of the Best biographical sketches has been able to gather very little in- formation of but a few of the many families of that relationship. He asks that any one having reliable information, or records in old family Bibles, baptismal certificates, and other papers, would let him know that a fuller history may be written. He trusts these brief sketches are cor- rect, and if not, is willing to be corrected. The foregoing paragraphs are published with the hope that it may help others to search for a fuller his- tory of their ancestors. J. A. S.

BIEBER FAMILY.

Jacob Bieber, the ancestor of this branch of the Bieber family, was born Dec. 24, 1731. He set- tled in Salisbury township in 1786, having pur- chased the large farm of Frantz Roth, and in that year was taxed on 460 acres. This land was warranted by Henry Roth, grandfather of Frantz, and one of the founders of the Salisbury church, as early as 1738. Jacob Bieber married Christina Steinbrenner and had eight sons and two daugh- ters. He died Oct. 16, 1798, and is buried at Western Salisbury church. Among his children were George, Conrad, Abraham, and John.

George Bieber was born Jan. 25, 1768, and died June 30, 1839. He received 157 acres of his father's land, married Eva Klein, born Nov. 12, 1765, died Nov. 13, 1845, and had six chil- dren: David, Solomon, Jonathan, Polly, Eliza- beth, and Hannah.

Conrad Bieber, born 1771, married Catharine Biery, and secured 151 acres of his father's land. His son Henry, had a daughter, Anna, who mar- ried Jacob Mauser.

Abraham Bieber was born Nov. 22, 1777, and died Dec. 5, 1804, aged 27 years. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Abraham Griesemer, born Oct. 19, 1783, and they had two children: Abra- ham and Solomon.

Solomon Bieber was born in Salisbury town-

ship, March 28, 1803, and died Aug. 22, 1856. He followed farming all his life, and was over- seer of the poor, and held other township offices. He was a member of the Western Salisbury Lu- theran church, in which he was elder and deacon for many years. He is buried in the church ceme- tery. His wife was Barbara Gangewere, born May 18, 1807, died Oct. 7, 1861, daughter of Daniel Gangewere, of Hanover township, Le- high county. They had ten children: Angelina, married Amos Heller; Isabella, died single; Charles, deceased, married Mary Danner; Henry G .; Sylvester, born 1834, died 1905, married Te- villia Kline, was a miller by trade, and had a son, Morris ; Emma, married David Danner, and resides at Slatington; Maria, single; James, de- ceased, who was married, and lived at Frankfort, Ind., where he left a family; Milton, living in Huntington, Ind .; Loraine, married Amandus O. Greenawald, of Stroudsburg, Pa., and who died in 1900.

HENRY GANGEWERE BIEBER was born May 10, 1832, in Salisbury township, where he owned a farm of 89 acres. He was reared on the farm, received a common school education, and later, about 1850, learned the trade of carpenter with Schwartz & Diefenderfer. He followed the trade as a journeyman in Newark, N. J., and Catasau- qua for a few years, when he formed a partner- ship with Abraham Diefenderfer, engaging in the contracting and building business at Allen- town for a number of years.

In 1857 he returned to his farm, the Bieber homestead. He was a member of the Salisbury Reformed church and served as deacon, elder, and trustee. He was a Democrat in politics, and was road supervisor of Salisbury township for thirteen years and school director from 1862 to 1865. His first vote was cast for James Buchanan. He died June 2, 1914.

In 1858 he married Eva Elisabeth Kline, daughter of Reuben and Judith (Wieand) Kline, of Salisbury township. They had four children : Ellen, at home ; Emma, married Jacob L. Schantz, of Upper Milford; George H., at home; and John R., of Allentown, who married Laura Romig.

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

CHARLES F. BIEHM, Justice of the Peace of Center Valley, is a son of Henry W., and was born March 3, 1877, in Upper Saucon town- ship, Lehigh county. He was reared upon the farm and was educated in the public schools until 18 years of age after which he attended the Key- stone State Normal school, at Kutztown, Pa., graduating in the class of '98. He began to teach the same year in Upper Saucon township, also taught at Emaus. In politics he is a Dem- ocrat ; was registration assessor of the district for four years; was appointed by Gov. Edwin Stuart, in 1910, as Justice of the Peace of Sau- con township, and in 1911 was nominated by the Democrats and endorsed by the Republicans and elected without opposition. His term of office expires in 1918. He served as superintend- ent of the Sunday School in the Union Chapel at Centre Valley for seven years and also was a trustee of Union Chapel Association. He is a member of the Reformed congregation, of Blue Church, of which he was a deacon for two years.

He was married to Sarah R. Wireback, a daughter of Jacob and Amanda (Schantz) Wire- back. Two children bless their union, namely: Leroy W. and Arline E. Biehm.

BIERY FAMILY.

The founder of the branch of the family es- tablished in Lehigh county was Joseph Biery, a native of Oberland, in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. The old form of the name was "Bieri" and is so written at the present day in Switzerland. The family is probably of French origin, a branch of which, however, was located in Bern as early as 151I.

Joseph Biery, the emigrant, was born in the year 1703. He was a man of position and prop- erty in his native land, and came to America, arriving at Philadelphia, in the ship, "Samuel," commanded by Hugh Percy, taking the oath of allegiance at the Colonial Court House, soon after landing on Aug. 27, 1739. Among his fel- low passengers were Sebastian, Christopher, Phil- ip, and Casper Doll, and their sisters, Catharine, Barbara, Margaretha, and Elizabeth. The friend- ship formed during the long voyage, ripened into a closer tie, when Elizabeth Doll became, soon after their arrival, the wife of Joseph Biery.

Accompanied by the members of his wife's family, Joseph Biery proceeded to Oley, in Berks county, where they sojourned for a brief period, removing subsequently to Ruscombmanor, on the Little Lehigh creek, in what is now known as Longswamp, in Berks county. Here he ac- quired, nearly a thousand acres of land. In ad- dition to being a large land-owner, he built and operated a saw-mill, grist-mill, and an iron forge.

His enterprises became known as "Biery's Mills" and are so named on Surveyor-General Nicholas Scull's map of eastern Pennsylvania, in 1759. He was a prominent member of the Re- formed church at Longswamp, which was organ- ized long before 1750. In the records of the church his name appears as the largest contributor for the building of a church in 1748. He was also the treasurer of the congregation as well as one of the two members composing the "building committee."

His brother-in-law, Christopher Doll, in a will dated the 24th day of June, 1751, bequeaths to him his estate of two hundred acres in considera- tion of which he is to maintain "his sister, Ca- tharina Doll during her life" and to pay certain legacies to his brother Philip and "other sisters." Caspar Doll became a resident of Plainfield township, Northampton county, and served as a captain of the Revolution.

Joseph Biery entered into a certain agreement with his two sons, Henry and Philip, dated the 2Ist day of May, 1766, that "they should have all his lands and part of his personal estate, on condition that each of them should pay to their sister, Anna Margareta, the sum of seventy-five pounds and also maintain him and his wife dur- ing their natural lives." He died in the early part of February, 1768, leaving no will. Let- ters of administration were granted to his widow, Feb. 10, 1768. He left three children: Henry, Philip, and Anna Margareta, the wife of Peter Keyser, of Macungie.

Philip Biery disposed of his property in Berks county before the year 1786, removing from Longswamp soon after. No record has been found, however, showing where he made his new home though it has been thought that he settled in Virginia. The only trace of his after career is found in a baptismal record of the First Re- formed church, at Lancaster, Pa, where Susan, daughter of Philip and Elizabeth Biery, born July 2, 1791, was baptized Sept. 7, 1791.

Philip Biery was evidently named after his maternal uncle, Philip Doll. His wife's name was Maria Elizabeth, as shown by the church records at Longswamp, which also show the following baptisms of their children: Anna Mar- garetha, June 7, 1772; Maria Catharina, Oct. 23, 1774; Johannes, born Nov. 5, 1776; Daniel, born Aug. 16, 1779; Maria, born Aug. 5, 1786, Lehigh Church.

Henry Biery, the eldest son and heir-at-law of Joseph Biery, was born on the Biery homestead, at Longswamp, March 25, 1741. He resided on the homestead with his brother, Philip, during the lifetime of their father. He had acquired other landed property before entering into his in-

heritance, and was rated as one of the wealthiest men in Berks county.

Desiring to locate in Whitehall township in Lehigh county, he sold his properties to George Schall, of Earl township, Berks county, the deed thereof bearing date April 6, 1785. George Schall was a brother-in-law and close friend of Henry Biery. His wife was Catharine Newhard, of Whitehall township, a sister of Henry Biery's wife. The Biery homestead at Longswamp in recent years, was owned by the Trexler fam- ily.

Henry Biery, soon after the sale of his prop- erty to George Schall, purchased a plantation of several hundred acres in the neighborhood of the Egypt church, in Whitehall township, where he made his new home. He married, in 1764, Maria Salome, daughter of Michael Neuhard. (See Newhard Family.) Henry Biery, after his removal to Egypt, soon took a prominent part in the affairs of the township and of the Reformed Church, of which the Biery family since the days of Zwingli have been staunch supporters. His children inter-married with the leading families of the county, and their descendants to this day have been closely identified with the material civic and political development of the county. He died May 1, 1804, leaving a large estate which was divided among his children of whom he had thirteen, two of whom died in infancy. His widow, Maria Salome, survived him twenty-five years, dying Jan. 12, 1829. Their remains are buried in the Egypt church-yard. A tombstone in good preservation marks the last resting-place of Maria Salome Biery. The first of their chil- dren were born at Longswamp, the remainder in Whitehall township.

Henry Biery or "Beary," as he wrote his name, the founder of Bearytown, Seneca county, New York, the second son of Henry Biery, was born at Longswamp, Berks county, Pa., Oct. I, 1768. In the deed of partition "between Henry Biery and his brother, Frederick Biery, for prop- erty located in Hanover township, now in the borough of Catasauqua, bearing date, Oct. I, 1802, the names of both brothers are spelled

"Beary" in the body of the deed, while they vary in the signatures; Henry signing himself "Beary," and Frederick spelling the name "Biery." The wives of the brothers, who also joined in the deed, signed their names in the Swiss form of "Bieri."

Henry Biery was married on May 5, 1799, to Maria Catharine Ruch, born Oct. 30, 1775, the daughter of Lorenz Ruch and sister of Brigadier- General Peter Ruch, a soldier of the War of 1812. He and his younger brother, Frederick, purchased on the 30th of July, 1801, from their kinsman, Jacob Newhard, the old grist-mill and saw-mill and one hundred acres of land on Cata- sauqua creek, now within the borough limits of Catasauqua.

Henry Beary removed to Seneca county, New York before the year 1819, where he purchased a large tract of military lands. He soon estab- lished a business center, first known as "Beary's Corners," but which subsequently grew into Bearytown, by which name it is known to this day, a beautiful, typical New York state village.

Henry Beary was one of the most popular men in Seneca county, his place was a favorite gath- ering place for military organizations on general training days, and also for political conventions. A quaint old stone church building in which the members of the Reformed congregation worship, stands opposite Henry Beary's old home. In the graveyard in the rear of the building lie the re- mains of many of the Beary family. A grand- daughter of Henry Beary in recent years pre- sented a chime of bells to the congregation. Henry Beary died Jan. 6, 1836, and his wife, Catharine, January 22, 1863.

The pastor of this congregation for over sixty years (1821-1882), was the Rev. Diedrich Wil- lers, D.D., who studied theology under the Rev. Dr. Jacob Christman Becker. Through the in- strumentality of Henry Beary he received a call to the Bearytown church, the only charge he ever served. Dr. Willer's daughter, Margaret, became the wife of Henry Beary.

Knauss, a soldier of the Revolution and grand- daughter of Judge John Griesemer, a patriot and soldier of the Revolution and member of the Northampton County Committee of Safety.

Frederick Biery became a resident of what is now known as Catasauqua in 1801. The Biery homestead, a dwelling-house on Race street, located near the ancient dam, a great stone building, with massive walls two feet thick, was built as early as 1760, and probably earlier by the owners of the mill. It was remodeled by Frederick Biery in 1803 or 1804. Frederick Biery was a man of unusual business ability and soon established a thriving business, adding to his grist- and saw-mills, a fulling-mill. He also carried on farming, but his chief concern was to build up Biery's Port as a business center. The beautiful stone buildings he erected at vari- ous times near his mills are lasting monuments to his good taste. He also established a ferry across the Lehigh river and in 1824 he built one of the first chain bridges in the United States, which less than ten years afterwards was swept away by the flood of 1841.

Frederick Biery took an active part in the af- fairs of Hanover township and frequently held office. He was a staunch adherent of the Reformed Church, and in politics was a Federal- ist and Whig.
