• 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. 1772 tax list, Lowhill, $12.0, farmer (Adam Decterich) 1779 census, Greenwich (or Maxatawny?) 1790 census, Greenwich, 1-4-3 (Didrich) (other one in Maxatawny) 1800 census, Albany, 10010-00100 1810 census, Albany, 01010-10111 (Adam Deitrich) Adam Dietrich of Albany, died, Admin 10 Feb 1824, to son John (this is Adam Jr) Tombstone says he was a Sergeant in Jacob Baily's Company during Revolution Tombstone says born 28 Oct 1740, vs 8 Nov 1740 note: an Adam Dietrich in Sunbury.
