Notes - "Christian Herr, son of Hans Herr, also had surveyed to him a tract of 530 acres, a short distance west from his father's land. On this tract he erected, in 1719, a famous dwelling with stone lintels and large rooms, in which the religious services for the settlement were held for over 100 years. (The first separate house of worship was built of bricks along the public highway, in 1848, and rebuilt in the summer of 1889.) It also served as the home of Christian Herr during his entire wedded life. The house, still standing, was built 10 years before Lancaster county was organized. HANS HERR died in this house in 1725, at the age of 86 years, and his widow died 5 years later at the age of 91 years. Both were laid to rest in the family graveyard on the old farm, along with many associates and descendants." (Taken from Mennonites of Lancaster Conference, by Martin G. Weaver, 1931, pp. 36-37.)
"Christian Herr, a Mennonite minister, married Anna. His Bible (Basel: 1736), containing the records of his daughter Elizabeth's husband and children, is housed at the 1719 Herr House, 1849 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street, PA, which he built on his patent." (Taken from the 1994 Supplement to the Third Edition of the Genealogical Record of Hans Herr, by Theodore W. Herr, originally published 1908, p. 787.)
