William, the next in age, born July 1, 1761, in Berks County, Pennsylvania, immigrated hither in 1804. He bought land to the west of Germantown, of James Porter. The site of his dwelling is at present occupied by the residence of Christian Dechant. Here he lived all his days. He died February 10, 1842. He was a very zealous supporter of the church, and a warm and lifelong friend of Pastor Andrew Henkel.
