    Notes 
    • Notes for PETER BASTRESS:
      Born 7/9/1758. He and his wife, Anna Elizabeth Roth lived in and around Pottstown. They attended the
      Emanuel Lutheran Church and were buried in the church cemetery. A number of references to Peter indicate that
      he was a man of various skills; a blue dyer, a dealer in land, coal and lumber as well as probable lawyer.
      Peter was a Berks County Solider in the Revolution but his name was given as Peter Bastery in one source as
      Peter Bastres in another (see index oaths of Allegiance, Berks County, PA. Revolutionary War- on microfilm #
      133. PA. State Library in Harrisburg.) According to the Revolutionary War Military Abstract Card File - {series
      #13.50}, Peter was considered inactive duty militia under the 4th Battalion, 7th Company because "The
      circumstance of his family will not admit his going out..." He was subsequently ordered to pay a fine.
      Peter died in Jonestown, Lebanon County, in 1837. Anna Elizabeth was born in 1753 and died in 1832 as far as
      is known, both were buried in the Emanuel Church Cemetery. Peter and Anna Elizabeth were married in 1778 or
      1779 and had three sons, John, Peter J., and Solomon.
