General Notes: Husband - Philip Kuhns

---

Prior to 1780 he and his brother John settled on a 600-acre tract of land which their father had patented years before, two miles from what is now Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

He passed his childhood and early youth in Lehigh township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where he was born. He was very prominent in the community, and, with his brother, John, inherited the six hundred acres of land patented by his father, in the neighborhood of Greensburg, Westmoreland County. Although it is not positively known, this land is described as being two miles from Greensburg and is supposed to have been situated at or near the site of the later Hannastown. The acquirement of this property by Bernhard Kuhns probably occurred about 1780 and it seems possible that the family did not come to Westmoreland County until after the Revolution, since Philip Kuhns is believed to have served in the Continental army from Northampton County in that historic struggle. Philip Kuhns was very active in Greensburg after he had come to that place and it is stated that it was he who gave the land upon which was erected the Lutheran church on Main street, as well as a lot for the burying ground connected therewith.

It was during the latter part of the life of Philip Kuhns that the name was changed from Kuntz to Kuhns, according to tradition, at the desire of his daughter Susan.

Many years later there were in the possession of the Kuhns family some extremely ancient and interesting documents, among others one which concerned with the birth and career of Philip Kuhns, the grandfather of the Philip Stambaugh Kuhns. It was in the German language and a translation of it runs as follows :
PHILIP KUHNS.
Philip Kuhns was born on the eleventh of April, 1747, in Lehigh township, Northampton county, in the State of Pennsylvania. His father is the Honorable Bernhard Kuntz and his mother was Catherine -----, his honorable wife, whose maiden name was Eberhard, an inhabitant or resident of the above named township. The two parents, according to Christian duty, having baptized shortly after his bodily birth in holy baptism. The Christian name of Philip was given him, which is herewith certified to by my own hand. His bodily helper gave her word of honor as sponsor, Barbra B. N. Newhard.
The Lord preserveth in the vow he has made with the God, so that he may never depart from it, or violate it, so that after life he may enter with all God's children into the joy of eternal rest.
