George Bachman led this Swiss Mennonite family from Richterswil,
Canton Zurich via Ibersheim to Pennsylvania around 1717. Settling
in Coopersburg, his eleven children were devoted to their religion
and their families. George ran the Der Siebenstern, or Seven Stars,
tavern and hotel. Among his descendants are his brave son, conscientious
objector George
Bachman and wife Esther
Oberholtzer. Esther, along with Eve Yoder, petitioned for the
restoration of household goods confiscated by local government officials
in an overzealous patriotic fervor.
