General Notes: Husband - George Christian Gleim

---

He was an active participant in the Revolutionary War, and in one of the skirmishes around Philadelphia was severely wounded in his head and face by the sabre of a British dragoon. In 1779 he removed to New Holland, Lancaster County, where he resided until his death.

He was the immigrant ancestor of this line, settling in Germantown, near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, prior to the War for Independence. He enlisted in the Colonial Army and was engaged in the battle of Germantown, where he received severe wounds from the bayonets of British soldiers, being left for dead on that historic battleground. He recovered, however, bearing seven scars, as remembrances of that conflict, to his grave. He later moved to Lancaster County, where his death occurred when he was aged eighty-one years.
