Conrad Weiser had been of a prolific ancestry, and was himself the father of fifteen children, eight of whom seem to have died in their minority years. His seven surviving ones, made mention of in his last Will and Testament, were: Philip, Frederick, Samuel, Benjamin, Peter, Anna Maria and Margaret. Their father having died, possessed of nearly one thousand acres of land, which were by divise shared out among themselves, the sons naturally took to farming as their principal employment.

Excerpt from The Life of (John) Conrad Weiser: The German Pioneer, Patriot, and Patron of Two Races No man has done more, and few as much, for the early settlers of the Colony of Pennsylvania than Conrad Weiser. Had he lived in New England, he would have been remem bered long ago in marble, story and song but, because he lived in Pennsylvania, he is forgotten even by his own people. The very grave in which he is buried is known to very few, and not decently kept. He and his wife lie buried in an old orchard on the farm once owned by him, near Womelsdorf, Berks county. I started a movement in 1893 to begin to raise funds for the erection of a monument to his memory, as well as to pro teet the grave. This spot should be the shrine for every Pennsylvania German.
