General Notes: Husband - Sebastian Lesher

---

He was born in Switzerland and emigrated to Pennsylvania with the early Mennonite settlers as a young man. The family tradition is that he came to America on the same ship with his brother John, who it is believed was killed by the Indians. Johannes Lescher came on the ship "Hope," of London, sailing from Rotterdam, and landing at Philadelphia Sept. 23, 1734, before he was sixteen years old. The name of Sebastian Lesher does not appear in the passenger list of the "Hope," as printed in Rupp's "Thirty Thousand Names," but the editor says that there were forty-nine adult males on the vessel, while he gives the names of only forty-eight. This deduction is not conclusive, but it is a strong probability. He settled first among the Kendigs, Kreiders, Funks and Brubakers on the Conestoga, in Lancaster County. He afterward removed to the Shultz creek settlement, in what is now Lebanon County.
