Notes:
clearly, Burgert's records of the immigrant Adam Dietrich are more compelling than
the History of Lehigh County writeup (at least as far as that writeup discusses
Adam). The presence of Adam in Lehigh County with the Mosers (and others
who moved to upper Lehigh County later) in 1756-8 (at Lehigh Church) is important.
I believe that his father died here leaving several children or someone taking
care of the children brought them to Lehigh County. I also suspect (but
can't prove) that his sisters married in the area.
