General Notes: Husband - John Adam Anspach

---

This family is descended from one of the most distinguished families of Franconia, in Germany. The ancestors resided in the city of Anspach, and the name of the family is associated with the leading events of their times in the history of Franconia. The castle of Anspach, situated on the river of the same name, was still in good condition in 1883.

He left Germany with two brothers for America; one died at sea, the other was Maj. Anspach, who served under Gen. Lafayette in the closing year of the Revolution (see a notice of him in Graham's Magazine of November, 1849).
He settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, entered into the mercantile business, and purchased a large estate in Berks County. He and his family, excepting his son John, were carried off by yellow fever in 1793. His estate passed into the hands of neglectful trustees.
