Frederick, who was christened Lutheran but became a Mennonite in Pennsylvania, immigrated to America in 1733 at the age of 18. As with many of the people of the Palatinate, Frederick came as a redemptioner, signing an indenture agreement with Hans Klemmer in 1733. Anna and Frederick are buried in Salford Mennonite Cemetery, row 8. All of their children were born in Lower Salford Twp, on the old Alderfer homestead about a mile east of Lederachville. Frederick and Anna had six children..
