(1751 - 3 Dec 1821)

Heinrich Witmer in 1773 built a large addition for his father's home, and the home became "Witmer's Tavern-Historic 1725 Inn" at 2014 Old Philadelphia Pike. Then, in 1790 he bought part of his father's farm. In 1806 he sold two small parcels that became Mellinger Mennonite Cemetery.
