Here were reared his children of whom the eldest daughter Anna Maria, married Rev. Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, the "Patriarch of the Lutheran Church in America."

Here he died July 13, 1760 and lies buried in the family plot nearby, together with his father, his wife, several children and a number of friendly Indian chiefs.
