General Notes: Husband - John Conrad Winebiddle

---

He came to America from Germany in early manhood. His father and mother having been laid to rest on the other side, and being the sole survivor of the family, he came to America possessed of considerable gold, and established a tannery on the banks of the Allegheny river, in the vicinity of Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania, about where the government arsenal was later located. His business was very prosperous and lucrative, and he invested his money largely in real estate, buying up five hundred and fifty acres. The tract which he thus acquired extended from the Lawrenceville district to Negleystown. He married, and their first home was on the Allegheny river, not far from the tannery from where the fleets of canoes filled with Cornplanter Indians sailing back and forth to the town was a frequent and interesting sight. Later the family occupied a home on Second street, later Second avenue. They had five children, four of whom lived to inherit the large estate.

He was first buried in the churchyard of the First German United Evangelical Protestant church, of which he was one of the founders. His remains, with those of his wife, were later transferred to the Baum burial lot in the Allegheny cemetery.

He was one of two sons that came to America, and was possessed of much wealth, as fortunes were then counted. He came to America at the time of the Revolutionary war, attached to the English army, but was soon connected with the cause of freedom. Owing to his great wealth he was enabled to carry on large transactions with the Continental army. He came to Fort Duquesne, now Pittsburgh, and began purchasing cattle and supplied the Continental army with beef. He also became a tanner and supplied the army with leather and shoes for the soldiers. His tannery was located at Lawrenceville, and for some years after the war closed he continued to operate this tannery with much success. After the close of the Revolutionary struggle he commenced to purchase land in what became the East End of Pittsburgh. He had about five hundred acres, and in time it grew to be very valuable. Eventually it was contained in the Nineteenth and Twentieth wards of the city. This land was situated east of the Allegheny cemetery and included the town of East Liberty.
