From "THE WEHR FAMILY" written by Myron P. Wehr comes...
LORENZ WEHR: b March 16 1743, d July 1 1795. Adm. 1666 at Easton, Pa. courthouse. He was confirmed 4-2-1758 by Rev. John Egidius Becker of Tohickon Church. (Vo XXXX 1925). He was married to Juliana Burger, dau. of Daniel Burger (1747-1815). Harold Marx in his abstract of Northampton County Wills 1752-1840 notes that Widow Juliana Yegar sometime prior to 12-23-1767 married Simon Wehr. We believe he means Lorenz Wehr, the third son of Simon which coincides with Lorenz Wehr's various dates. Juliana Yegar is the widow of John Yager of Heidelberg who died about 1766. His will #425 is on file in Northampton County Courthouse, written Aug 7 1766 and probated Aug 28 1766, listing his wife Juliana and two sones, John and Adam Yegar. Adam died before Dec 23 1767. Because the youths apparently were quite young, John Yegar designated his wife and Michael Ohl as guardians. Widow Juliana relinquished guardianship to Michael Ohl. Witnesses to John Yegar will were Philip Ebert, Jacob Arnd and Simon Wehr. In 1764 Lorenz was listed as a sponsor of a baptism as a single person. After 1772 he appears on tax lists through 1788 as owning 150 acres. In the Rev. War he was enrolled in the 7th class, 5th Co. 3rd Bat. Northampton County Militia from the eastern portion of Heidelberg Township. In 1780 and 1782 he was enrolled in the same county but 6th Bat. He was on active duty in Captain Conrad Roeder's Company in 1780 and in Captain Smith's Company on May 12 1781. (at Vol 2 5th series, Penna Archives). He is on the list of soldiers who received depriciation pay. Lorenz remained with his father so was made executor of his father's will, but Lorenz's death intervened, so Simon made his other son George Simon the executor of his will. Both were buried in Heidelberg. There appear to be six children listed for Lorenz. In 1813 tax lists show Lorenz owning 160 acres and a still.
