It might also be regarded as a part the "tcreider Settlement." But so elude it might lead to eonfnsfon. We shall designate it the "Fairland Kreidpr Settlement." Michael, eon of John, the Settler on Creek; received, from bis father the tract at Fairland, 810 acres, on Jan. 8, 1772.

the, father received his patent, deed for it. in 1747, this land was In his possession for 26 years before he sold it Michael was born in 1746, and so was in 27th year when fie received this farm from father, tte was married as early as 1770 at least, for his son John was 'born early in 1771. Doubtless late in the.seven- teen sixties he built his log dwelling due north of Cleona, where the house of the John Long farm is now Michael, Nov. 27, ,1745, died August 18,. 1871, was married to Anna Stoever, born Jan.

26, 1760; and died Sept. 12, 1805. Anna Stoever, not unlikely was a daughter of the pioneer Lutheran preacher here. It may be that Michael while working the outlying tract at Cleona, for it doubtless joined the Stoever holdings on the northwest, or in passing the Stoever mill on the way home to his father's domicile on Snitz Creek, fell so deeply in love with fair Anna that he broke Monnonite rules to possess her. Be it as it, may, we are informed that Michael Krelder married Anna Stoever.

Rev. P. C. Croll says on page 333 of his "Landmarks in the Lebanon "Other old families are the Imbodens, Kreiders, all whose first ancestors are burled at the Hill church." Michael arid Anna, the first Kreiders in this section, of the third generation already in the Lebanon Valley, if the contention of Hon. A.

S. Kreider is correct, are buried in the private cemetery a little east of their dwelling. We venture the assertion that no Kreider earlier than the fifth generation is buried at the Hill Church. Tho Old Homestead As has been stated, the original house stood where-the house of the present John Long farm stands. It was toward the eastern end -of the Michael Kreider plantation.

The barn was west of the house, not east of it, as is the present arrangement. The house was of logs, later, a stone kitchen was added on the west end toward the barn. Joining the kitchen was the main living room; of course before the kitchen it was open toward the west. This large room doubtless had its fire place, with all sorts, of things hung around, on the walls after colonial, fashion. Hardly an ancestral sword that had drawn human bipod.

Perhaps a Mennoriite might have had a fowling price or two hanging up. We wish we were able to draw a pen picture of a colonial Mennonite living room. We will venture there was a spinning wheel, Mennonite maidens were brought up to work. Who will dare to say that they were not just as sweet as any modern doll whose fingers have never touched dish water? On the first floor of this Kreider log house were also two bed rooms adjoining the living room. Upstairs were three bedrooms.

There are some Kreiders yet living who slept in some of these rooms. Over the kitchen was also a sleeping Tliis was reserved for tramps. The hospitality of the Men- nonite'extended to the lowest of human kind. There was only one bed in this room and never more than two tramps were allowed to occupy it one night. If more than applied the extra, ones had to" move on to the next.

farm. Here were kept in the house. The knights of the road must have felt like gentlemen next morning, when well fed they sallied forth from the Kreider. home. But the good housewife did not always feel that it was more blessed to give than to receive.

We are told of one who, after the visitor had departed, found the bed full of lice. The poor woman, she burned bed clothing, she cried, she scrubbed, she felt disgraced beyond redemption. If her neighbor's wife should know it! It cannot be said that the plain housewife was for absolute peace, for she bristled with'war, war to the utmost, when it came to lice and bed bugs. The pld Kreider barn, as we have said to the west, was also of logs. It was over 100 feet long, for remem ber that Michael had acres of land, coloniel measure, and the land about Cleona and Fairland is productive.

Some of. his land south of the pike, joined on the southwest by land of the Longs ape on the southeast by Stoever land The settler Kreider had not boughi 'far pp. on the hill. Later Kreidei bought land of the Kellers and UB the Hill church. The Family Spring Jfi On Dec.

The Moyera fere also a well-to-do family, and no oubt the daughter who married Benjamin Moyer had ample care. JOHN, SON OF MICHAEL THE FIRST John, the oldest son of Michael, ho settled on-the land of his father Fairland, married Anna Troxel. 'bis was by no means the only mar- iage between Kreider'a and Troxela," nd because of this we are Inclined regard the Trozels as Menuonltes. Our list of warrantees does not stamp he Troxels ae specially heavy land wners, but they bought land from orsons already having Patent Deeds. ohn Troxell received a warrant for 0 acres of land in Lebanon town- hip, April 11, 1768; and Abraham Yoxall received a warrant for 30 ores in the same township, Jan.

31, 774. Among the non-associates of iebanon township in 1777'are Abra- lam Traexel and John Kreider under consideration ame into possession of Troxel land. records tell us that John Krei- ier, yeoman, of North Annville town- hip, which formerly, was Lebanon ownship, Annville township, having in 1799, on Nov. 25, 854, conveyed to his grandson, John Meyer, of Londonderry township, 67 acres of land. This land had onsisted of two contiguous tracts.

The one consisted of about 100 acres, which was received by warrant by Jacob Miller, July 19, 1750, who ransferred it to Jacob King April 24, 1762, who by assignment transferred 8, 1762, to John Troxel. The other tract of about 67 acres was given by warrant April 14, 1773, to Abraham Miller, who on January 17, 1774, transferred it John Troxel. Now John Troxel, seized of both properties, died ntestate, so that the said properties by order of the court, became Juvest- ed in John Troxel, grandson of the oregoing John. The younger John may have been a brother of Anna frpxel, married John Kreider, va know riot. after the younger John, the lands became the property of Michael Kreider, the settler at Fairland, On Oct.

17, 1807, Michael Kreider confirmed the. 167 acres to his John, husband' of Anna Troxel. We lave not located the property as yet, nit it. was likely John's home, for xe owned it. from 1807 to 1854, 47 and.then, as we have seen, conveyed it to his grandson, John Meyer, of Londonderry township.

We fl rid John Kreider. farmer, of North Annyllle township, In his will devises all to his daughter Mary, m. Martin' Moyer (Meyer). The daughter is executrix. The will is dated 'Dec.

12. 1854, just 17 days after he the farm to his 'grandson, John without doubt the son of his only child Mary, m. Martin Moyer. We have, seen that. John, Kreider died 24, 1856.

His will was probated July 28, 185.6. Aaron S. Kreider in his out- ine of theKreider family also has but one child for'John m. Martin Wenger, Whether Mary lad more children than the John mentioned we 1 know not? The determination of the point might be more in place in an investigation of the Moyer family." The investigation of the history of the daughter of Michael the First, married to Benjamin Moyer would also there be in place. (To be continued on Thursday.)
