Notes:

Served in Revolutionary War in Col Elby's Battalion from Longswamp, Berks
Cou nty as a private. Originally from Longswamp Twp
Daniel Maurer, son of Henrich Maurer and Maria Katharina Erhardt, was born May 16, 1749 in the village of Grumbach in the German palatinate. He was baptised in the Herren-Sulzbach Evangelische Kirche a few miles away. Daniel came to this country in 1764 on the ship "Prince of Wales" with his sister Anna Elizabeth and her husband Jacob Shankweiler. After arriving in America, Daniel settled in the Alburtis, PA area and married Jacob Wagner's daughter Regina. He attended the Zion (Lehigh) church in Alburtis where records of him appear until 1792. Around that time Daniel and a number of related families moved to the Pitman, PA area, where the family thrived. Many direct descendants still live in the vicinity. Daniel is buried at Howerter's cemetery with his wife and her parents. His gravestone is shown. There is a DAR flag next to the stone to commemorate his Revolutionary War service. The stone is faded and almost illegible. It says:
"hier ruhen die gebeine von Daniel Maurer war geboren den 16 Mai 1749 und starb den 16 Mar 1832 in alt werden 82 yahr und 10
mounth ". According to estate papers, the stone cost $27.52 in 1832

Roger Maurer states that the elder Daniel was baptised in 1749. The English translation reads "John Daniel Henry Maurer of Grumbach and his wife Maria Katharine, legitimate son born ___ May. baptised ___. Godparents are 1) J. Daniel Bernhardt 2) Johannes Erhardt from Hoppstallen 3) Ana Elizabeth Erhardt." He does not name the church directly--just calls it "the church in Herren-Sulzbach." Apparently, the church, about 1000 years old, was still in use when Roger visited in the mid-1990's.
Daniel apparently arrived in Philadelphia in 1764 on the ship "Prince of Wales" in the compnay of his sister, Anna Elisabeth, and her husband, Johann Jacob Shanckweiler. Daniel's name does not appear on the ship's list because he was only 15 at the time and only adult males were listed. Anna Elisabeth and Jacob are listed as sponsors for the younger Daniel's baptism.
