William Mummert was born April 7, 1726, and died at the age of 73 years, 9 months and 27 days on the 4th of February, 1800.
John Mummert, 3rd generation, was a son of William Sr. His birth date is uncertain. His tombstone inscription reads: died October 18, 1821, aged 64 (beinahe) i.e., almost. He may have been born therefore in 1756 or 1757. However, his age as given in the roster of the York County Militia would make his birth year, 1754.
John Mummert lived in Hamilton Township, Adams County, where he owned at least two tracts of land; one containing 10 acres, 151 perches, and the other , 143 acres and 78 perches. His lands were adjacent to the Brough and the Oxford Roads as indicated in petitions praying the Adams County Court to establish said roads and dated 1810 and 1814. The former tract originally belonged to George Becker, Sr., and descended at his death in 1770 to his three sons. In 1786 one of the sons, John, sold 10 acres belonging to his part to John Mummert and his wife, Mary, in 1810. The 143-A tract was acquired by George Mummert after his father's death in 1821. Final disposition of John Mummert's estate was not made until February 22, 1825. Approximately seven months later, September 20, 1825, John's widow's estate was settled; it amounted to $997.18.
John Mummert died in testate, but his wife, Magdalena, and his children are mentioned in an Adams County court record, dated October 23, 1821; they were: John; Abraham; Catharine, m. John Bucher; Jacob, b.1784; and George, 1786-1863.
