General Notes: Husband - Christopher Sowers

---

He was the first German printer to come to America. He conducted an immense printing establishment in Philadelphia, in the work of which was included the publication of the edition of the Bible in German. During the Revolutionary war, he refused to take any part in the struggle, which led to the confiscation of his property and the destruction of his printing establishment. Restitution was subsequently made to his children.
