GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL.

Bachman, was born December 1, 1840, and is now living retired in East Allentown. Early In life he was a slate roofer and a wheelwright, and came to Hanover township about 1862, and there found employment with Jacob Reichard, who later became his father-in-law. In 1864 he engaged in farming in what is now the Four- teenth ward, and the family still resides there. The frame house was built by Jacob Reichard in 1864, and a stone dwelling which was razed in 1902 was built about the time of the Revolu- tion. The present brick residence was erected in 1878 by Levi Bachman. In 1906 he abandoned farming. In 1876 he had also established him- self in the sand business, and now has the largest of this kind in the state of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the Reformed church at Schoeners- ville. Mr. Bachman married, December 24, 1864, Henrietta, youngest daughter of Jacob Reichard, and they had children: Anna E., was graduated from the Keystone State Normal School, at Kutztown, in 1888, taught fourteen terms in Hanover township, and was the salu- tatorian at the anniversary of the Philo Society; Osben J., died February 12, 1872, at the age of six years; L.

He was educated in the public schools, and at the age of seventeen years assumed the duties of clerk and manager for his father. In partnership with his sisters and brother-Annie, Mary, and Marcus A .- he leased the Levi Bachman sand quarries in 1900, and after the death of Marcus A., re-leased the quarries with his sisters, under the firm name of M. H. Bachman & Company. This is now the largest sand dealing firm in Lehigh county, and employs twenty people. Until 1911 they had employed thirty-five men, but in that year they installed a breaker and cable excavator, which enabled them to reduce their working force, and yet obtain better results. The land covered by this quarry is sixty-five acres in extent, on the left side of the Allentown and Bethlehem

turnpike. It was formerly the Jacob Reichard homestead. Mr. Bachman is a member of the Lutheran Church, and is a member of the Frater- nal Order of Eagles, the Improved Order of Red Men, the Owls, and the Pension society.

and there carried on the mercantile business un- til September, 1862, when he moved to Allen- town, and conducted a general store on North Seventh street. Previous to this he had one in East Allentown, which was later converted into the Lehigh and Susquehanna depot. The store on Seventh street was abandoned in the latter part of 1864. In 1865 he removed to Philadel- phia, and followed mercantile pursuits until his return to Allentown in the fall of 1865. For a time he was a partner with his son, Charles A., in mercantile business at the southeast corner of Ninth and Hamilton streetts. He then lived a retired life until his death April 9, 1887. He was an active member of the United Brethren Church.

Charles A. Bachman, of Allentown, was born November 9, 1852, on the homestead in Upper Milford township. In 1859 he came with his parents to Emaus, and later to Allentown. At the age of thirteen, he began clerking in stores, and continued until 1869, when he became a member of the firm of B. Stettler & Co. This firm continued until 1870, when J. L. Breinig purchased the share of Mr. Stettler, and the name was changed to Sieger, Bachman & Co. Two years later Mr. Bachman became the sole owner and conducted it until 1875, when he erected a building at the northeast corner of Tenth and Turner, and there conducted a grocery business until he retired in 1898.

He is a member of the U. B. Church, and served as trustee for twelve years. He is a Democrat in politics, and in 1887 was elected to select council, and in 1890 represented the Sev- enth ward as a member of common council.

He was married in 1872 to Frances Yingling, daughter of Israel Yingling. She died in 1909, aged 60 years. They have the following chil- dren: Herbert W., George W., Willis B., Hat- tie M., married to Fred Rapp, secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Fairmount, W. Virginia.

Alfred R. Bachman, of Breinig & Bachman, Allentown, was born in Upper Milford town- ship, October 20, 1857. In 1862 he came to Allentown where he was educated in the public schools and the Allentown Business College. In 1869 he entered the employ of H. Leh & Co. as shipping clerk and later became assistant book-

keeper and rose step by step to bookkeeper, which position he held until 1879, when he entered the Allentown National Bank, where he was general ledger clerk, individual ledger clerk and teller, for nine years. In 1888, with George F. Breinig, he formed a partnership under the firm name of Breinig and Bachman. They began at 632 Hamilton street, and continued there until 1891, when they bought the old corner of Wein- sheimer and Newhard, at which stand they con- duct one of the leading clothing houses in the city.

BACKENSTOE FAMILY.

Ulrich Bagenstose, ancestor of the Bagenstose family of Berks county, was probably a passenger on one of the ships that brought Swiss emigrants to Philadelphia in 1743. These emigrants fol- lowed the waters of the Schuylkill river until they came to what is now Centre township, Berks county. This district was formerly a part of old Bern township, and among the list of taxables in 1752, we find the name of this pioneer settler. His long will is on record in Will Book B, p. 347, in which he disposes of a very large estate. It is written in English, the signature alone being in German, "Ulrich Backenstoss." The docu- ment was made Nov. 20, 1793, and was en- tered for probate Jan. 20, 1794, therefore it is evident that his death occurred between those two dates. In item No. 1 in the will he makes abundant provision for his wife Catherine, among the things mentioned being: "plenty of grapes, from the one-acre vineyard; flax; one gallon apple-jack, one gallon rum; plenty of potatoes ; plenty of cider and vinegar, plenty of winter apples and wood, plenty of everything she needs." This she was to receive annually, in addition to money and a home. Other items were: son John to receive the plantation; a son Henry to re- ceive the plantation in Bethel township, Dauphin county ; and Jacob to receive the other planta- tion of 100 acres situated in Bethel township. The will, which also mentioned children Eliza- beth, Susanna, Catherine Eckel and Christina Moyer, was witnessed to by Jacob Runkel and Jacob Himmelberger. The executors were John Bagenstose and George Sharff.

BAER FAMILY.

The Baer family of Lehigh county are de- scendant from Melchior Baer, Sr., who is said to have emigrated from Zweibrucken in the Pal- atinate. The family is said to be an old Palatinate

VOL. II-3

HISTORY OF LEHIGH COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

family whose family seat was at Baeren Huette. It is also related that Peter Von Baer in the dis- tant past was married to a daughter to the count of the Palatinate. The family is originally said to have been of Swiss origin. The parish of Bar, the church in which is said to have been built by Emperor Charles in the fifth century, derives its name from the family of Bar, wose name ap- pears in Swiss history as early as 1245.

Melchior Baer, Sr., apparently made his home with his son, Melchior, Jr., until in 1762, when Melchior, Jr., sold the homestead to his father, Melchior, Sr., and removed to Macungie town- ship. In 1769, Melchior, Sr., sold his home- stead to his son, John Peter, whom he in his will, designates as his chief heir at law. The date of his death and that of his wife, Elizabeth, are un- known, both were living in 1769 when they signed, the wife making her mark, the deed of the homestead to the son, John Peter. In his will he mentions besides his wife Elisabeth and son John Peter, a daughter, Elisabeth, and a granddaughter, Maria Turney. No document has been discovered giving a list of their children. However, from various documents and family traditions it would appear that among them were : Melchior, Jr., Johannes, Christophel, Philip Jacob, John Peter, Elisabeth, and Maria, married to Peter Steckel.

Melchior Baer, Sr .; Melchior Baer, Jr .; Jo- hannes and Christophel came across the ocean from the fatherland in the good ship Phoenix and landed at Philadelphia, Sept. 30, 1743. They were staunch members of the Reformed Church to which most of his descendants still belong, and in which many of them occupy places of honor, both in the ministry, and among the laity. The descendants of these pioneers have organized a family reunion, which usually holds its re- unions at Kutztown. It was one of the first families to hold reunions and one of the few that are chartered.

John Peter Baer, of Heidelberg, usually only written Peter, son and principal heir at law of Melchior Baer, Sr., took up a tract of land in Heidelberg township, prior to that of his brother, Melchior, Jr., who had a tract joining his warranted to himself Nov. 1, 1749. This tract John Peter bought from his father, Mel- chior, Sr., to whom Melchior, Jr., had sold it in 1762. He was naturalized October 15, 1765, by the court at Philadelphia. From the certifi- cate we learn that he was of foreign birth, had resided for seven or more years in the province and had taken the sacrament of the Lord's Supper within three months. He was married to Elisabeth, a daughter of Michael Hoffman, who in his will, dated Jan. 20, 1777, and pro-

bated Jan. 17, 1787, provides for the following children: John, Michael, Maria, Magdalene, married to Theobold Kennel; Catharine, Elisa- beth, married Peter Baer; Julian, married Henry Smithof; and Maria Barbara, married Sameul Wottering.

Peter Baer in his will mentions Catharine Elisabeth, his wife and John Jacob, John Peter, John Henry, Mary Catharine, Anna Margar- etha, and Anna Apolenia. For Mary Catherine and Anna Margaretha, minors above fourteen years of age, Samuel Woodring, of Whitehall, was appointed guardian, and for Anna Apolenia, under fourteen years, John Baer, of Whitehall, was appointed guardian on petition of Hans Jacob Baer. Their next friend, Peter Baer, at the time of his death was possessed of consider- able wealth. The sons received 70 pounds and the daughters 30 pounds.

Melchior Baer, Jr., was born Jan. 6, 1726, in the Fatherland, and died Feb. 28, 1773; his remains lie buried in a small private cemetery near Zionsville, Lehigh county. There was is- sued unto him a warrant on Nov. 1, 1749, for. two tracts of land situated in Heidelberg town- ship, Northampton county, one tract was called "Neglect," bounded and described as followeth, viz .: Beginning at a marked Black Oak thence by Peter Baer's land North one hundred and thirteen perches to a post, thence by a line of Marked Trees North seventy-seven Degrees, West eight perches to a stone, thence by Michael Hoffman's land, South fifteen degrees, West two hundred perches to a Post, thence by Peter Kosher's land South thirty-two Degrees, East eighty perches to a post, thence by vacant land and Peter Baer's land North forty Degrees, East one hundred and sixty-four perches to the place of beginning containing one hundred and forty-four acres and three-quarters and an allow- ance of six acres for roads," etc. The second tract, "Quiet Enjoyment," surveyed at the same time. It contained fifty-four acres and was bounded by Jacob Thinkey's land and other vacant tracts. The purchase price for these two tracts containing 199 acres and 40 perches, was thirty pounds, nineteen shillings and six pence. In 1762 he sold seventy acres of this original tract to his father, Melchior Baer, Sr., for the sum of sixty pounds. From the deed of Melchoir Baer, Sr., to his son, John Peter, dated Aug. 3, 1769, it appears that Melchior Baer, Sr., purchased all of the above described tracts from his son, Melchior, Jr., for in it the identical tracts called for in the original survey are transferred to his son John Peter Baer, of Heidel- berg township, for the consideration of natural love and affection and the sum of one hundred

pounds. The sale by Melchior Baer, Jr., to Mel- chior Baer, Sr., is witnessed to by Christopher Baer, George Steininger and Heinrich Schlebach, and that from Melchior Baer, Sr., to his son, John Peter, by Heinrich Finck and Heinrich Reinhart.

The wife of Melchior Baer, Jr., who is said to have been considerable younger than himself, was Eva Elisabeth Christman, a daughter of Jacob and Eva Margaret Christman, of Lynn township. Jacob Christman died cir 1761, leav- ing seven children: Eve, the wife of Melchior Baer, George, Jacob, Susanna, John, Philip and Henry.

Melchior Baer, Jr., died Feb. 28, 1773, and was buried in a small cemetery near the Zions- ville Reformed church, of which he and his

cungie township, containing 174 acres, and ap- praised at $5,610.00; this petition happily con- tains the names of his children, which were omitted in the will; the following is the order of the names of the children of Melchior Baer, Jr., as they appear of the petition of 1821 :

I. Elisabeth, married to Lorentz Kern, who had died prior to the date of the petition, leav- ing three children, Henry, Margareth, and Elisa- beth, married to John Jacoby, and several grand-children, the issue of Magdalena married to - - Bittenbender. Lorentz Kern is said to have removed to York county.

2. Regina, married to Jacob Haman, she also had died prior to the petition of 1821, leaving two daughters: Hannah, married to Jacob Mohr, and Margareth. The latter was born October 27,

family were members. In his will he speaks of eight children, but mentions only two, Jacob and Melchior, to whom he makes special be- quests, and he gives the special instruction that his children are to be instructed in the Reformed faith. The executors of the estate, Eve Elisa- beth, his wife, Anthony Stahler and Leonard Steininger, encountered considerable difficulty in adjustment of the estate. It is said that some of the money received by the executors was in con- tinental currency, which depreciated in their hands. In 1790, Jacob Lindeman, in right of his wife, Eve Elisabeth, petitioned the court to appoint John Romig, of Macungie, and George Kriebel and James Gill, of Upper Milford, to audit the accounts of the executors. It further appears that from a petition dated Dec. 7, 1821, almost forty years after his death, that Melchior Baer died intestate as to a tract of land in Ma-
