General Notes: Husband - Samuel Heeter

---

The name Heeter is found in Berks County, Pennsylvania, as early as 1767, for in that year Adam Heeter was named in the proprietary return of Eastern District township. He does not seem to have been a landowner, nor was he among the taxables there in 1759, nor in 1779. Others of this name are found in Oley township in 1780, and in Exeter township in 1785. The Heeters probably belonged to the German immigration, which was so prominent among the formative elements of Pennsylvania, but to a rather late part of it, yet the name does not appear among the foreigners who took the oath of allegiance between 1727 and 1775. Finally, there was proved, in Berks county, March 17, 1806, the will of Adam Hieter; he names his wife, Elizabeth, and children, Ben-jamin, Adam, Jacob, Mary, Odilla, Magda-lena; he disposes of one hundred acres of land in Earl, in that county.
