| Note | From Find-A-Grave: Served in the Revolutionary War. First Recorded burial in what was then The Dutch Glory Church Cemetery. Buried on what was Called Blackberry in the Land Patents. Blackberry was sold to the German Lutheran Trustees for $ 1.00 and Goodwill by his son Michael, for the purpose of establishing a church and Cemetery. Tombstone Inscription in German: Adam Simon Ward gebohren 1716, und ist begrawen den 28, Marz 1788.Adam Simon warranted the land of three hundred and forty-three and three-fourths acres, which was surveyed to him as two hundred and fifty-two and three thirty-seconds acres and named in the survey "Despair "(whether the name given it had any reference to the "shortage" in area is not known). The tract is described as adjoining James Barnett, Ezekiel Breaden, George Daneer, Thomas Richardson, and Frederick Teague. Adam Simon died, and on April 18, 1797, the tract was sold to Nicholas Simon by the heirs, who were Michael Simon, Catherine Simon (Mrs. George Daneer), Andrew Simon, Jacob Simon, Agnes Simon (Mrs. Michael Beltz), Elizabeth Simon (Mrs. Philip Strong, of Huntingdon County), Margaret Simon (Mrs. George Wright, of Franklin County), and Mary Simon (Mrs. James Stall, of Franklin Co. Pa.). Except as indicated in the above mention of the heirs of Adam Simon, his children settled in Washington County in locations not far removed from the homestead of their father. The oldest school-house that is remembered was a log building that stood near the site of the Lutheran and Presbyterian church, on land of the Simon family. In this old building German schools were taught in 1805, and prior to that time. Mr. Samuel Oller recollects it in the year named, and he does not think there was any other school-house in the township at that time. It had a clapboard roof, and windows made of greased paper.
