Johan Adam Anspach- Revolutionary War, Rank- Sergeant in the Continental Army under Captain Michael Furrer's command of Berks Co. PA (Pennsylvania Archives 5th Series, Vol. 5, p. 234) He was stationed at South Amboy, New Jersey, 5 Sept. 1776. From Berks & Schuylkill Journal: Adam and Philip Anspach, sergeants, Capt. Michael Furrer's Company, organized out of men who resided in Tulpehocken Twp. and the western section of Berks. Battalion of Col. John Patton, a prominent iron master of Heidelberg Twp. who carried on the Berkshire Furnace. They were collected together at Womelsdorf, and while there the battalion was supplied with 1068 rations. A record of the march from that place to Perth Amboy was published in this journal. From the article it would seem that the battalion was formed and marched at the same time. "At Womelsdorf, from Aug 1 to 9, getting cloth for tents and making tents. Aug 11, marched at 12 m from Womelsdorf to Sinking Spring, 9 miles. Aug 12 to Reading, 5 miles and detained there by Committee 13 and 14. Aug 15 marched to Levan's (Kutztown), 18 miles. Aug 16 to Bethlehem, 24 miles. Aug 17 to Straw's Tavern, 15 miles. Next day, Sunday, remained there, raining all day. Aug 19, marched to South Branch of Raritan River, 20 mi. Aug 20, to "Punch Bowl", 20 mi. Aug 21 to Bonnamtown, 17 mi; and on 22d arrived to Perth Amboy, 7 mi. Total distance marched, 135 mi." He was given a land grant in Ohio for his services. The Indian problem the Tulpehocken Region was experiencing may have had an influence on Johann Adam Anspach's decision to take his family to Ohio in 1804 to take advantage of his land grant. In 1801 he moved his family to Lancaster Co. PA, and in 1804, when his children were ages 24-4, he moved to Ohio and settled in New Reading township.
