Abraham Steiner had lot #6.
Conestoga, Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania landowners circa 1729
1728 Abraham Steiner signed the oath of allegiance to King George of England to be naturalized in Pennsylvania, which allowed him to hold land as a citizen. He was on the list of Mennonites. [1]
1729 Abraham Stoner was named as a landowner in Manor Twp, Lancaster County (lot number 6 on map)(Described as 1.5 miles east of Cresswell and 1 mile west of Letort, Donegal Twp in a note of Miss Lucretia Stoner dated 9 May 1955 filed at the Lancaster Historical Society)[2]
1734-39 Abraham Stoner received warrants for three tracts of land in Warwick township, now on the border of Penn, Warwick, and Manheim townships.
1734 Abraham Steiner received a warrant for 200 acres of land in Warwick Twp, Lancaster County, dated October 10. [3] [4] [5]
1735 A land survey was made for Abraham Steiner on May 12 which showed the 292 acre tract on Conestoga Creek [as in the warrant of 1734]. The tract was adjacent to lands of Benjamin Wittmer and a Dutch colony. [6] Subsequent surveys of adjoining tracts indicate changes in ownership of the tract. The original 1735 survey showed an adjacent lot as a Dutch settlement, but a survey of the adjacent land dated 1747 described it as land of Henry Coffman of Manheim Twp and described the tract that had been surveyed for Abraham Steiner as belonging to John Steiner [7]. The tract was reported belonging to widow Steiner in a survey dated 2 Feb 1746 of an adjacent tract owned by Martin Spickler [8]. The tract was reported owned by Abraham Stoner on a 1746 survey for Andreas Burt [9] and on a 1760 survey for Peter Rexaker [10] of an adjacent tract in Warwick Twp. Ulrich Leib warranted adjacent land in Manheim Twp on April 11, 1744 shown on a survey dated February 11, 1746/47 [11]. In 1749, Michael Eup (Hype) surveyed a tract in Warwick Twp adjacent to both of the Steiner tracts [12], which was labeled belonging to Peter Huber on a 1759 survey [13]. Henry Coffman surveyed a tract in Manheim Twp (tract 24 on the Warwick map) adjacent to the Steiner tract, which was then owned by John Steiner, perhaps the son of this Abraham Stoner. [14].

[22] [23] [24] This tract was surveyed on November 29, 1739 [25], reported to be in Lebanon Twp, adjacent to his own land [26]. The tract was in Penn Twp, Lancaster County with 57 acres, as shown on the map above, tract 65.

1743 Mary Stoner made final settlement of Abraham's estate, dated June 10, for £364.17.0 at the Register General's Office for Lancaster County. Signed or marked by Maria Steinerin. [Photocopy, Final account of Abraham's estate.]
1747 On December 28, the Orphans Court of Lancaster County considered several issues related to the estate of Abraham Stoner, deceased. [48] [49] [50] [51]
Nicholas Baughman, and Ulrick Liep administrators of the estate of Abraham Stoner, deceased, exhibited an account of their administration which was allowed and there having been no sale made of the goods and chattels of the deceased, and a great many young children a distribution could not well be made. And therefore it is ordered that the oldest son with the guardians of the Younger children take the same into possession and make sale of them and render an account of such sale to the Orphan's Court in order to a distribution.
John Stoner aged about 18 years comes into Court and prays that Abraham Stoner his brother be appointed his Guardian, and he is appointed accordingly.

1748 Michael and Katherine Baughman granted land, on March 15, 1747/48, in Manor Twp, Lancaster County to their spinster daughter Elizabeth Kauffman. The tract was described as adjacent to land of Abraham Stoner, perhaps the son of this Abraham Stoner. [52].
1747-49 Eldest son Abraham Stoner became an active member of the Moravian Church and removed all of his children, including a half-sister Barbara, but not (his son?) John, to the Moravian settlements in Northampton County, Pennsylvania (Northampton County was established in 1852, to the northeast of Lancaster County). Several of the children aligned themselves with the Moravian Church and were baptized at Moravian congregations in Pennsylvania.

1748 On June 25, the Orphans Court of Lancaster County heard a complaint by Peter Yortee and Ulric Liep about the treatment of orphans of Abraham Stoner, deceased, by their guardian, eldest son Abraham Stoner. [59] [60] [61]
Upon the application of Peter Yortee and Ulric Liep two of the guardians of the younger children of Abraham Stoner deceased, to this court suggesting that Abraham Stoner, oldest son of the said Abraham Stoner, deceased, and also one of the guardians of the younger children hath made sale of the personal estate or the chief part thereof without accounting with the Register and hath neglected to attend the Justices of the Orphans Court upon due summons for settling the same and further that without the privilege or consent of the said Peter Yortee and Ulric Leip.

1756 Abraham Stoner was taxed 12 shillings, six pence in Manheim Twp, Lancaster County. [64]
1759 Abraham Steiner, perhaps the son of this Abraham Stoner, had a survey of a tract of 80 acres in Warwick Twp, on April 26. [65] [66] adjacent to Abraham Stoner's 1734 and 1737 tracts and adjacent to land of Peter Huber and John Reigenback, shown on the Penn Twp map of patents. Returned on December 19, 1760.
1763 Abraham Steiner, eldest son of Abraham Steiner, received a new patent for three tracts of land from the estate of his father because the original land patents were issued when his father, Abraham, was an alien and was ineligible to hold land. The three tracts of land were described and the corresponding patents were cited as those issued dated 1736 (patent A8-95, mistakenly cited as A7-95), 1739 (patent A10-23), and 1740 (patent A10-140). [67]
Research Notes:
See Mennonite card file: [68]
The parents of our Abraham Stoner have not been identified with any certainty. Abraham Steiner and his family were reported to be Mennonites. Our Abraham Stoner may have been born in Rotenbach, Switzerland and fled with his parents (Johannes Steiner and Anna Breneman [69] [70], son of Christian, son of Ulrich [71]) to other parts of Europe before emigrating to America. [72] [73] [74] [75]
Richard Warren Davis has documented two men named Abraham Steiner, with children that correspond somewhat with the children that we show for our Abraham Steiner. I have no evidence about which of these possibilities, if either, might be our Abraham Steiner and seek further documentation for the European origins of this family.
One Abraham Steiner [76] purchased land in Conestoga Manor in 1738 and reportedly had a son named Abraham born about 1735. The son Abraham matches well with Abraham Gottleib Steiner, spouse of Salome Bürstler, who we show as a son of our Abraham Steiner.
Another Abraham Steiner [77] had parents John and Anna Steiner, as described in the speculative ancestry above. Ulrich Leep was a guardian of their children, and their names and dates of birth and death agree somewhat with the children we name for our Abraham Steiner.
1724 Abraham Stoner was a Mennonite living at Friesenheim, Bayern, Germany, a blacksmith with some property and average wealth. [78]
1724 Ulrich Leip was also living in Friesenheim in 1724 and arrived in Pennsylvania in 1727 [79].
A biosketch of Abraham Steiner by Lewis H. Stiner and Bernard C. Steiner reports [80]
Abraham Steiner settled in Lancaster County and had land granted him on October 7, 1735, and in Lebanon Township received a grant of other land on December 12, 1739. His wife was Mary __. She gave bond as administratrix of his estate in 1741, and put in a final account on June 10, 1743. He was never naturalized. His wife could not write. His son Abraham married Salome and removed to Bethlehem, Northampton County. He sold land in Lancaster County in 1762. Both he and his wife wrote in German script. By trade he was a blacksmith.
1747 "One of the earliest Orphans' Court records in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania [dated December 28, 1747], gives information about the family of Abraham Stoner, who died in 1741. He left a widow Mary (died 1746), who, by tradition, was Mary Laub/Leip. Pohl states that Abraham first married Elizabeth Brenneman. Apparently Elizabeth died after the birth of a daughter, Barbara. Abraham Stoner received patents for tracts of land in Manor, Warwick, and Lebanon [Penn] townships in Lancaster County. After his death, his oldest son, Abraham settled his estate. Abraham (the oldest son) was a blacksmith by trade and married Salome Boerstler." [81]
A different Abraham Stoner, who died before 1794 and who was the father of Christian Stoner (1750-1823), has been reported to be a son of Jacob Stoner, who died 1747 in Coventry Twp, Chester County, Pennsylvania. The seven children of that Jacob Stoner have been well-documented. [82]
