George Lenhart was born about 1738 in Germany and died between 1797 and 1800 in Somerset County, PA. George gave the oath of induction in the Dover, York County, PA area 06 October 1777 under Capt. George Franciscus. George married Anna Catherine (?) about 1766 in Berks or York County, PA. She was born about 1740 in Pennsylvania or Germany and she died after 1800 in Somerset County, PA. They were buried in Somerset County, PA; however, the cemetery is believed destroyed 48 to 50 years ago. Very sad. George had a brother that lived in southern Somerset County near Summerfield. That cemetery was moved to Newberry Cemetery in Addison Township, Somerset County, Pa. Many years ago the SAR and DAR had a new stone placed for him. One of the Revolutionary Flags we have in the Somerset Cambria Chapter is in memory of George and Anna Catherine.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
