From the History of Gift, Kern and Royer Families:
Jeremiah, third and youngest son of Johan Adam Gift was born June 21, 1773, in Weissenburg Township, Northampton, now since the division of 1812 in Lehigh county, Pa. He lived on his farm located on the south bank of Middlecreek, a little west from where Paxtonville is now located, now in Franklin township, Snyder Co., Pa, containing 225 acres, conveyed to him by his father, Johan Adam. Jeremiah Gift in 1795 married Catharine Klein, now spelled Kline.
She was a daughter of Christopher Kline, who emigrated at an early day from Berks co., to Middlecreek Valley, Northumberland now Snyder County. He was one of the early pioneers of the valley. He was an ancestor of the Kline family, living in the west end of the county of Snyder.
Jeremiah and wife Catherine, after retiring made their home with their son John, on the old homestead farm. Here he died on July 2, 1843 aged 70 years and 12 days. His wife Catherine, died December 1845 aged 79 years. Both are buried in the old Hassinger church Cemetery. Their graves are marked by tombstones with inscriptions. They were honest and kind neighbors, respected by all who knew them.
