General Notes: Husband - Adam Orth
He was the eldest child of his parents.
He was born about 1718, in the Palatinate, Germany. He came with his parents to America in 1725, and was brought up amid the dangers and struggles of Pennsylvania pioneer life. He received the limited education of the "back settlements," and yet by self culture and reading became a man well informed and of more than ordinary intelligence. During the French and Indian war he commanded the Lebanon township company, in Rev. John Elder's ranging battalion. In 1769 he was one of the commissioners of the county of Lancaster. During the Revolution he was early identified with the movement, and although well advanced in years, assisted in the organization of the associated battalions, and was appointed sub-lieutenant of the county March 12, 1777. Upon the formation of the county of Dauphin he served as a representative in the General Assembly in 1789 and 1790. He was opposed to the adoption of the Federal Constitution, and took an active part in the Harrisburg Conference of 1788. One of the pioneers in the manufacture of iron in Lebanon County, for a long period he operated and owned New Market Forge, which at his death he bequeathed to his son, Henry. [HLC 1883, 248] The date of birth given by this source seems wrong.
He was one of the pioneers in the manufacture of iron in Lebanon County.
