Individual Details
Hans Neukommet
(Abt 1722 - 1782)
A Johannes Newcomer paid taxes on 150 acres of land that he patented on 22 February 1743 (Hempfield Warrantee Map which gives reference A-11-290). This land is now a subdivision just north of Route 30 and Stony Battery Road. You enter the development on Highland Drive and Primerose Lane.
This Johannes Newcomer, along with his Stoneman sister-in-laws and their husbands, bought and then sold 150 acres on Little Conestoga Creek. The property was purchased from Elizabeth Stoneman's father, John Stoneman, and resold to a John Stoneman. My guess that the two John Stonemans were father and son. Furthermore, my guess is that John Stoneman, Sr. left the farm to all of his children, and that they in turn transferred ownership to one child, John Stoneman, Jr.
Johannes Newcomer was an active buyer and seller of land. In addition, he was a blacksmith and gunsmith.
Johannes signed his name "NewKomatt.".
