Springfield Township


   THE WEIERBACH FAMILY are among the oldest settlers of 
Springfield township. They are of German lineage. The land 
on which they have lived for several generations was deeded 
in 1854 to Nicholas Weierbach by Conrad Riezley, who 
obtained it from the Penns. To this Nicholas added several 
other tracts, making him a large farm. He died on the old 
homestead, which is now owned by Aaron Kramer, and which 
with nearly two hundred acres of land he bequeathed to his 
son Isaac, who was the great-grandfather of Zeno and Josiah. 
Isaac Weierbach, born April 10, 1730, died March 11, 1805. 
He was married to Anna Frey, who was born February 24, 1741, 
and died January 15, 1838. John Henry, son of Isaac, was 
born there September 17, 1779; lived on the place of his 
birth until two years before his death. He died December 20, 
1863, in the eighty-fifty year of his age, when living with 
his son Daniel on a farm near by. He, like the others of the 
family, was prominent in the affairs of that part of the 
county. He held many township offices, and was a colonel in 
the state militia. His wife was a Johnson, and died seven 
years before her husband. They had twelve children, of whom 
five are now living, viz.:  Joseph, in Haycock, now over 
eighty-two years old; David, in Northampton county; Mary, 
wife of Monroe Housekeeper, of Sellersville, and Daniel and 
Adam, in this township.
