General Notes: Husband - Ludwig Zehring

---

The first emigrant of this family, he was a native of Baden, came to America about 1725, and shortly after his arrival located on a tract of land two miles east of Jonestown, in what is now Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. He was a man of strong force of character, well educated, and of considerable influence on the frontiers. For many years he acted as a kind of agent for his countrymen, and transacted business for them, not only in this but in the Fatherland. "He was faithful to every trust committed to his care," is the estimate of him which has come down to us. About the year 1773, accompanied by his son Matthias, he made a voyage to Europe, but taking ill, died at sea and was there buried. He was thrice married.
