General Notes: Husband - David Strouss


He and his wife came to America from Leipsic, Germany, about the year 1750. It is difficult to be certain of this date, but there is evidence that they sailed about the middle of the eighteenth century.
He was a musician and also somewhat of a soldier. He was chorister in the German Lutheran Church, and took up arms with his adopted fellow-countrymen in the war of the Revolution. That he was a soldier worthy of the name, we know from the fact that he was made colonel under George Washington. After the war he settled down to quiet farm life in Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
