“The children of Melchior emigrated to America 1733 (1734). Their mother was probably too sick to go with them and besides that her husband remained also. Melchior’s ancestors were, 1655, the brothers Balthasar and Melchior Heydrich in Nieder Harpersdorf.”

Balthasar Heydrick purchased an estate in Frederick Twp., then Phila., now Montg. Co., from the Proprietaries. He was descended from George Heydrick who was confined in Liegnitz prison from 1650 until 1658 for “‘heresy.”” (Hon. Christopher Heydrick’s Gen. Rec., p 10.)
“Jacob Fouth and wife, by deed dated June 26, 1735 and recorded in the office for recording deeds in Phila., in Deed Book F, Vol. 8, p 216, conveyed two contiguous tracts of land containing 50 acres each, situate in Frederick Twp., Phila. now Montg. Co., adj. Perkiomen Creek, to Balthasar nie Consideration—one hundred and three pounds.’’ [Noles of Hon. Christopher Heydrick, p 10.
It would seem that in the interval between 1732 and 1741 the properties owned at former times by Jacob Fout and George Schweinhard had passed into the ownership of Balthasar Hevdick. [Conclusion from examination of Dotterer Records.|

Doctor Miller and his wife, Elizabeth, are buried on the farm now owned by Mr. Samuel Foust in Frederick Twp., in the meadow, by Society Run. [John Hageman to Henry Anies—Dotterer Papers. |
