Leon F. Borst , Chester Co, PA, has a lot of info on this family. He says: ' 'John Siegfried III, b. 4 Oct 1758 in Siegfried's Dale, Maxatawny Township, Berks County, Pa. - d. 14Apr 1821 in Maxatawny Township, Berks County, Pa. (he did not die in Siegfried's Dale on the farm he inherited from his father, John II, as everyone thinks because the house he built with datestone containing ' 'John @ Gertraud - 1790' ' is still preserved at the ' 'Rodale Institute' ' on Siegfriedale Road. Instead, he died on a farm he purchased about a mile east of Kutztown, which by his will was transfered to his son Daniel - his son John IV and wife Catherine having received the farm in Siegfried's Dale. John IV built a stone home in 1827 on Siegfridale Road adjacent to the ' 'John & Gertraud' ' home built by his father in 1790).
