General Notes: Husband - Philip Christian Enders


He was born in Braunsigweilen, Germany, and after completing his education entered the military service of his sovereign, William Heinrich, Prince of Nassau. He participated in numerous battles of the Seven Years' war, and for his gallantry was promoted to a captaincy in the royal cavalry. He afterward resigned his commission. He married and a few months later came to America, first settling in Philadelphia, but later removed to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1788 he purchased a tract of over 1,300 acres of land in Upper Paxtang, Dauphin County, and moved to it with his family.
He was the founder of Fetterhoff's church, organized and taught the first school in that part of the county, and built and operated the first sawmill in the valley.
