The Sachs covered bridge is named for my great great grandfather John Sachs (10 Apr 1802 - 8 Dec 1880). He was born in Hessen and is buried in Evergreen Cem, Gettysburg, Adams Co, PA. John Sachs lived close to the bridge. His house was a hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg. I have placed a photocopy of the family data from his German Bible at the Adams Co Historical Society, along with my transcription and translation. David Stoner (15 Nov 1807 - 11 Oct 1861) , who built the bridge, is my second cousin four times removed. He also built the old Adams Co jail on High Street, which was used by Lee's Confederate council of war. David Stoner lived and died in Waynesboro, Franklin Co, PA. He is related to my mother, Anna Stoner, whose family who lived on Baltimore Street from 1917 to 1945, a few houses south of the Adams Co Court House. Richard R.
