Frey, Andrew
From Andrew Frey’s “Authentic account, published in Germantown upon his return from Germany in 1747. Andrew Frey associated of his own free will with the Moravians, but had misgivings about some of their practices. It was suggested that he go to Germany. He became a good friend with Spangenberg. At the third Penna. Synod, he was one of three chosen to direct the synod, and later was chosen by vote and by lot to be elder of the unmarried brethren, requiring a move to Bethlehem which he did not want to make. “Perceiving that I could not be modeled to serve their turn, they let me know that I should go to Germany.” He arrived at Marienborn precisely at the height of the morbid religious fervor described by Moravians as “the sifting time.” He describes lavish festival arrangements for the birthdays of Zinzendorf and his family members, of which he strongly disapproved, as well as the morbid and excessive practices of the time. He returned to Pennsylvania in 1747, strongly opposed to the Moravians. Andrew Frey was originally a Dunker.

p.96. Samuel Bertolet of Frederick township
The first of the name to settle in Falkner Swamp was Samuel Bertolet, son of Abraham Bertolet of Oley, and grandson of Jean Bertolet the Hugenot immigrant who came in 1726. Samuel Bertolet, son of Abraham Bertolet and Elizabeth DeTurck, his wife, was born, in Oley, on the 14th of September, 1743.
Upon the death of Jacob Frey the farm owned by him, in Frederick Township, passed into the possession of Samuel, passed into the possession of Samuel Bertolet, his son-in-law, and the stone house partially built by the deceased was completed and occupied by the new owner.
Samuel Bertolet, during the latter years of the revolutionary war, purchased the large farm and the mill on Swamp Creek of Colonel Frederick Antes. He was prosperous in business, influential in his neighborhood and became wealthy. In his religious views he leaned towards the Mennonites, and led an earnest exemplary Christian life. He was s student of books, a promoter of religion, and an intelligent reflecting observer of the events in his time.

According to an instrument of writing, in 1749, his wife was Sevina, daughter of Rev.John Philip Boehm, but accoding to his will, written in 1771, his wife’s given name was Elizabeth, leading to th supposition that he married twice. Lodowick Beeing was a member of the Assembl for Northampton County ,y 1758-9 & 60. He died about the beginning of 1776. His children were – Ludwig, Henry Antony, Philip, Peter, Mary wife of Andrew Graver, Elizabeth, wife of Gabriel Kline, Mary Catherine, and Christina, wife of Franz Leydich.

Jost Bitting was born on July 13, 1713, and died December 25, 1801. Agnes his wife, was born February 14, 1727, and died November 2, 1785.

The second petition written nearly eight years later, is somewhat better written, having some regard for punctuation, etc. but the names of the signers are far less legible than those of the former.
