General Notes: Husband - Anthony Kelker
He was a native of Herrliberg, near Zurich, Switzerland. At the age of ten years, in 1743, his parents emigrated to America and located in Lebanon township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, later a part of Lebanon County, four miles north of the town of Lebanon. Anthony was brought up on his father's farm, receiving the meagre advantages of the schools of that period. He was commissioned Aug. 28, 1775, lieutenant in the Second Battalion of Lancaster County Associators, and was in active service during the campaign of 1776. In 1777 he was an officer in the militia at Brandywine and Germantown. He was appointed Jan. 19, 1778, wagon-master of Col. Greenawalt's battalion, and the same year was sent on a secret expedition to Virginia and Maryland. Until the close of the war Capt. Kelker was an active participant. He was deputy sheriff of Lancaster County in 1781-82 and upon the formation of the county of Dauphin was commissioned the first sheriff in 1785, and subsequently elected, serving until 1788. He was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives 1793-94. He was a very active member and vestryman of the German Reformed Church, and treasurer of the same during the erection of the old (First) Reformed Church in 1794.
