General Notes: Husband - Bernhard Kuhns

---

Of German descent, he was one of the early settlers in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Before 1780 two of his sons, John and Philip, settled on a six-hundred-acre tract of land some two miles from Greensburg, Westmoreland County, which their father had patented years before.

The Kuhns family is a very old one in Pennsylvania and is believed to have been founded here by Bernhard Kuhns, who was a native of Bavaria, and appears to have been born there in the year 1723. About the date of his coming to America there is a certain amount of doubt, certain authorities stating in a general way that he reached America about 1776, or sometime prior to that date. This estimate must be surely too late, however, unless we grant a great extension to the word "prior" in the phrase, since according to other authorities his son, Philip Kuhns, was born April 11, 1747, in Lehigh township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
