General Notes: Husband - Henry Gross

---

He was a member of an old Pennsylvania family, his ancestors having settled in Montgomery County in an early day. He was one of a large family of children, several of whom left the old home to locate elsewhere. One brother moved to the western part of Pennsylvania, another lived in Dauphin County, a sister died in Mifflin County, another brother died in New Orleans, a sister died in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and still another brother at Beavertown, Snyder County.

He was married in York County, Pennsylvania, and came on horseback with his bride to what is now Beaver township, Snyder County, in the latter part of the eighteenth century. He established a mercantile business at Middleburg, but in 1801 his store was burned, and he then engaged in farming, purchasing land below McKees Half Falls. In 1814 he bought the land upon which New Berlin was later established, and he followed farming there for a number of years. This land formerly belonged to George Long, and the village, when first laid out, was called Longstown. At one time Henry Gross owned six farms.
