General Notes: Husband - Henry Beck

---

He was four years of age when he came to Pennsylvania with his mother. He grew up in Berks County, and like so many of the Pennsylvania Germans, he was engaged in farming, which he varied occasionally by superintending the wood-cutting for one of the local furnaces. The Revolutionary war came on shortly after his marriage. In the militia companies which were formed from time to time for short terms as the war progressed, and were composed chiefly of the farming population who attended to their farms in the summer and went into the army in the winter, he went out three different times, first as orderly sergeant and subsequently as lieutenant, and was in one of the commands that failed to cross the Delaware at the time when Washington captured the Hessians at Trenton. He remained on his farm in Berks County until his removal to a farm near Pottsgrove, in Northumberland County, where he later died.
