ca 1760. enlarged ca 1825-1850. Amity Township. The original section
to the left, with intact pent roof and pent eaves, was constructed

representative of the four-over-four or Pennsylvania farmhouse type.

John and Elizabeth lived Amity TWP
moved to Philadelphia 1781, bought
two houses near Third and Spruce Sts
Most fashionable part of the city.
Acr street from splendid home of
Samuel Powell, last colonial mayor and
first mayor under Republic.
In 1786, he joined w other weavers to
settle area opened a few mi north of
Philadelphia: Northern Liberties. 1785
city directory listed him w a weaving
shop at 189 St Johns St now called
American St. Later sold the house, his
whereabaouts vague. 1790 census appears
he was back in Berks Co. JOhn Sr died
1805, John Jr adm of his estate.
John Sr listed as 55 yrs old at death
per Faulkner Swamp Reformed Ch records
his Ch in New Hanover, Montgom Co.
A short distance from home.
John Theodore Greiner Elizabeth Dehart listed as adm of
from Germany her mother's will. Dorthea Weidner
father of (Greiner) Aug 15 1807 Widow of Amity
Dorothea Greiner "Weidners came from Germany. Some
m George Adam Weidner were New Born Sect. One came to
from GErmany w America on a ship called Hope in
a # of children Aug 28, 1733. They did get
dau Elizabeth naturalization papers" (cousin)
m John Dehart **Mormon I.G.I. and Montgomery together
(Montgomery doesn't identify the
daughters of George Adam Weidner)
identify Elizabeth as the daughter
and sister of emigrants George Adam
Weidner and sons, from Germany.
Fifth cousin states Weidners came
from Wuremburg, on ship Hope in 1733,
father and son (there were several
sons) were tile makers.
George Adam Weidner married Dorothea
Greiner, also born in Germany, but
her father,
John Theodore Greiner,
came over with his other children as
well; they were Cathleen, Barbara,
Mary and John according to his will.
Greiners came on ship Dragon in 1732.
Cousin believes Palatines from
Germany. According to Oley Valley Heritage, Johann
Theodorik Greiner came with Johann Jcob Rodt, arrived
in Amity township - in 1717- from Bonfeld, a village in the
Palatinate. They bought a large parcel of land
together, and then split it.
Elizbeth Weidner b 1750.
Dorothea Greiner b 1712, Pfalz,
Germany (IGI), m abt 1739 George
Adam Weidner, son of Hans Adam Weidner from Germany who also
had Lazarus (Mennonite preacher) and Tychicus, who settled near
Lobachsville and
whose descendants consistently show evidence of mood and
anxiety disorders, Tychicus married a Hill, and Platina m
John Schneider, Catherine m Henry Thomas, Michael and David.
Hans Adam and wife belonged to the Ephrata Cloister. They have
been persistently associated with the New Born Cult, atleast
partly because Hans Adam got in trouble at the cloister for
circumcizing himself together with another man. They came to
Pennsylvania between 1721, when last son who was naturalized
wsa born, and 1727 when ships' lists begin - according to one
author. Above locates their ship in 1734. Incident with
circumcision was 1735. New Born principally active in 1720's
I think, but still around in 1730's. Hans Adam bought
his land in Oley in 1734, or rather, that is when he laid claim
to it; it seems the Oley land office was nonfunctional to 1733
and many people squatted, and he put the date 1734 on a roof tile
of his cabin.
