Herman.  Wilhelm settled his family in Berks County, PA, where he eventually owned land in Heresford, Long Swamp and Ruscombe.  The 1785 tax records show him as owning 100 acres of land, two cows, three horses and had eight family members.      Wilhelm and Catherine had six children.     Children of Johannes Wilhelm Herman and Maria Catherine Motz Name Birth Date Death Date Spouse William Herman II 10 May 1762 GERMANY 14 Aug 1828 Lincoln/Catawba Co, NC Mary M.
