Abraham is a descendant of Johannes Siegfried (no birth date known) of what is now Maxatawny Township, Berks County. Johannes moved from Oley to Maxatawny about 1724 and when he died in December 1747 he willed one-half his land to Son Joseph (1721) and one-half to son John (1723). Joseph (1721) had seven Sons, two of whom, Joseph (1749) and Abraham (1764), moved to Bath, Northampton County about 1792. Abraham (1764) had four Sons, one of whom was Abraham (1786), who married Elizabeth Faust (1792). It is this Abraham (1786) and "El"(1792) that are listed in the 1850 census. Leon F.
