He married Rosina Dunkel in 1756 and had three children: John Johannes (1756-1804) Magdalena (1756-1804) and Catherine (1758-). I have his father listed as John Nicholas Lesher. I have John Nicholas Lesher's wife as Eva Binder (1700-1762). Is this the Col John Nicholas, as when I research him I find his spouse was Maria Yoder were the parents of John, Jacob, Barbara, Hannah, Maria, Catharine and Elizabeth. "Col." John Lesher was a 'Colonel' in the Revolutionary War. Col. John married Marie Margaret Hess after the death of his first wife, Maria. I need to confirm who the parents are of Vincent Lesher and who is John Lesher his son. Did he marry Eva Binder? I'm confused, but I need to check the accuracy of my family tree.

All were farmers from Luneburg area of Germany, but their names were Loescher when in Germany, Americanized in PA, due to the exact same pronounciation. In German it means extinguisher, as in fire extinguisher. There are still farmers with that name in the area. As to the Heinrich Lesher family name from Zweibrucken, Germany and Schaffhausen, Switzerland there is some confusion due to the records management with the name, I think. I am currently living in Stuttgart, Germany about half way between the two. Over the next 2 1/2 years, I hope to find more information here in Germany and Switzerland.

Author: ShellyH4 Surnames: Brubaker, Lesher, Barncord, Brandt, Sheller Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lesher/269.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Would there be any land or will records for this Peter BRUBAKER, husband of Maria LESHER? I am looking to document the information stated by Richard Warren Davis that Abraham and Maria (Lesher) Brubaker had a(n) (unnamed) daughter who married Jacob BARNCORD. She would be of the generation to marry the Jacob Barncord who lived 1792 - 1853 in Franklin County, PA. This could make her the probable mother of Jacob's children NOT the wife, Catherine, who is found with him in 1850 and in his 1853 will. The vast majority of trees identify her as the mother of Jacob's children. Some name her as Catherine Brandt, which brings up the possibility that she is the widow of John Sheller, further evidenced by the Elizabeth Sheller in the Jacob Barncord household in 1850 and in the household of Catherine Barncord, widow of Jacob, in 1860. I hope to find proof or denial of this theory. If you can point me to some record sources, I would be quite grateful. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Thomas and Polly (Bowman) Lesher. He belongs to a family of substance and stability, and of study characteristics. He is the third generation in his line to occupy and cultivate the home farm. His grandfather, Jacob Lesher, was a native of Dauphin county, and a farmer. He was especially enterested in raising fine blooded livestock, and had a reputation for breeding some of the best horses in the region. He was married to Miss Christiana Mertz, and had eight children: John; Jacob; Sallie, wife of a Mr. Gebhard; Gideon; Polly; Daniel; Thomas and Samuel. Both he and his wife died suddenly, without sickness, on the homestead; Mr. Lesher, at the age of ninety-one. Rev. Thomas Lesher, father of Samuel H., was born on the old homestead, East Hanover township, April 4, 1812. He was occupied through life I farming, and was also an honored and useful minister of the United Brethren church. He traveled widely, preaching the gospel and ministering to the spiritual needs of the people. Polly Bowman, to whom he was married, was born in Lebanon county, Pa., daughter of Jacob Bowman. They had six children: Jacob B.; Samuel H; Kate; Lydia; John T. and Mary. Rev Mr. Lesher was an ardent Republican, a warm-hearted and benevolent man, and a devoted father. He died August 14, 1894, aged eighty-two years, four months, and two days. His wife is still in excellent health at the age of seventy-two. She is a faithful member of the United Brethren church. Samuel H. Lesher attended the schools of the township and derived much profit from his school work. He belongs to a family of more than ordinary culture and intelligence, and found much help and intellectual stimulus at home. He learned the business of farming on the old homestead, and when manhood came was prepared to take the honored place of his ancestors as a first-class farmer. In 1875 he took full charge of the home farm on his own account, and has ever since devoted his attention to its cultivation. Mr. Lesher was married, in October, 1874, to Miss Matilda, daughter of Thomas and Catherine (Light) Wagner. They have seven children, all living: Kate M., Henry G., Fannie, Cora, Ellen, Lydia and Annie. In 1894 Mr. Lesher was elected treasurer of the Cemetery Association at Union Deposit, Pa., and served for one year. In 1895 he was again elected to the same office. He filled the office of secretary of the Union Sunday school for two years, and has served one year as its assistant superintendant. Mr. Lesher is a prominent citizen, and is very highly esteemed.
