General Notes: Husband - Daniel Von Heister

---

Three brothers, John, Daniel and Joseph Von Heister, students at Halle, Germany, were obliged to leave the country on account of their political convictions about the middle of the eighteenth century. They escaped to England. There they were furnished with funds from Germany to go on to America where John, the oldest brother, purchased a large tract of land near Reading, Pennsylvania, naming it Bern. Land was also purchased at Tulpehocken, near Philadelphia, in that city, and near Harrisburg.
