General Notes: Husband - Rev. Christian Herr

---

He was a minister of the Mennonite church, and was the first of the Herr family to come to America. He came with Martin Kendig, John Mylin, and others, in the year 1709. They were pleased with the country, and concluded to send for the rest of their friends. They therefore cast lots who should go, and the lot fell on Christian, their minister; they not wishing him to go, Martin Kendig offered to go, and in 1710 brought over the rest of the Herr family, and others.
He built a house of sandstone in 1719, half a mile east of Willow Street, where it was still standing as late as 1872, with his name and the date upon it.
