Their story
Adam Dreisbach, born in Oberndorf and christened in the Feudingen Church on 7 Nov. 1722, died on 10 January 1803. He married Susanna Coerber- Corber- Koerber- Kirber in Trinity Lutheran Church in Lancaster in July 1749. Her father, Andreas Coerber, was later buried in the cemetery at Jost Dreisbach's. Adam is said to have been a saddler. In 1771 he and his younger brother Simon Jr. were among the founding members of Zion Stone Church in Kreidersville. In 1772 Adam was listed as being a farmer in Lehigh township, Northampton County. Adam spent his last years in Easton, the County Seat, where he and his wife were buried. Their graves are no longer extant, the Easton Public Library having been built on the site of the cemetery.
