General Notes: Husband - Philip Lorenz Greenawalt


He was born in Germany, from one of the best-known families in the locality, received a good German and classical education, and came to America in 1749, on the ship "Phoenix," John Mason, master, from Rotterdam, arriving at Philadelphia on the 15th of September. He at first located in Cocalico township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he took up one hundred acres of land, Feb. 28, 1754, subsequently removing to Lebanon township. At the outset of the Revolution he entered heartily into the struggle, and during the entire war was more or less in active service. Upon the organization of the associated battalions he was commissioned colonel of the First Battalion of Lancaster County. He was with Washington during the Jersey campaign of 1776,-at Trenton and Princeton. His battalion was at Brandywine and Germantown, and his conduct during the former engagement received the commendation of the commander-in-chief for efficiency and gallantry, especially in the protection of the Continental supplies. He was appointed, May 6, 1778, one of the agents for forfeited estates. At the close of the war he retired to his farm, and, like many more of the brave officers of that struggle for independence, poorer in purse, but conscious of having done his duty to his country. The Assembly of the State appointed him one of the commissioners to take subscriptions for the Continental loan, Dec. 16, 1777, and during the darkest hour of the struggle he did effective service in collecting blankets, food, and forage for the half-starved and half-clad army at Valley Forge, and for most of which he was never recompensed. But such was the fate of many who sacrificed their fortunes on the altar of liberty. Col. Greenawalt reached a good old age, honored, loved, and respected by his neighbors and fellow-citizens. He died at Lebanon, aged seventy-seven years.
