General Notes: Husband - John Lesher

---

He was enrolled in Capt. Patrick Hays' company of Lieut.-Col. Alexander Lowrey's battalion, Lancaster County Militia, 1780-83, but being a non-resistant he paid his exercise fines.
He was a farmer by occupation. In 1804 he removed to Franklin County, Pennsylvania, where he bought a farm of 120 acres in Guilford township from John Bender. Two years later, in 1806, he bought two tracts of land in Antrim township. He became an extensive landowner in both townships. Among other acquisitions was a large tract of land on the Waynesboro road, south of Chambersburg, where his last years were spent.
