About Lt. John Michael Lichtenwalner, Jr.
A Patriot of the American Revolution for PENNSYLVANIA with the rank of LIEUTENANT. DAR#A070270
Johann Lichtenwalner Jr., the common ancestor of the Pennsylvania family of that name, was born June 29, 1738, on the Lichtenwalner homestead. When twenty-five years of age, he married Catharina St?ler, daughter of Daniel Stetler, who was one of the pioneers of Weisenburg township. He resided during his whole life, in the stone house erected before his father's death in place of the original log house on the old homestead. He inherited 413 3/4 acres of land from his father, which lay in a body one mile west of Fogelsville. He evidently was a thrifty farmer, buying one tract after another until he owned, all told, 952 acres of good land in this section of the county. He died Oct. 30, 1794, aged fifty-six years, and was buried in Jordan Lutheran Church cemetery. His widow died eight years later, aged fifty-seven years, and was buried beside her husband. They had twelve children, of whom five sons and five daughters attained old age and left numerous descendants. The children were as follows: Johann (3); George (or "Yarrick"); Peter; Christopher (or "Stoffel"); Jacob; Catharina, m. to Matthias Leibensperger; Anna Maria, m. to George Shaffer; Barbara, m. to Philip Leibensperger; Margaret, m. to Henry Kline; Mary Magdalena, m. to Jacob Fogel; and two who died in infancy. Will (1794): Land: 952 acres = $24,000.00; Personal Property = $13,000.00; Total Estate = $37,000.00 in 1794.
