Notes for Frantz Ludwig (Tueller) Diller

Generation No. 1
1. FRANCIS LUDWIG2 DILLER (JOHANN1) was born Abt. 1710 in Biglen, Canton Bern, Switzerland, and died November 1783. He married ANNA TSCHANTZ February 02, 1738/39. She was born June 1713 in Neider Wichtrach, Bern, Switzerland, and died July 1809.
Notes for FRANCIS LUDWIG DILLER:
This record comes from the Diller Mennonite Church graveyard. This church was built in 1826, and before that time one of these Dillers gave their house or barn in which to hold their services. Two of the Diller farms lay near the church, and this graveyard was started as a family plot, but now is the church cemetery and is quite large. Many Burkharts, Burkholders and Dillers, as well as others, have been buried there in later years.
You can find this church and graveyard about five miles from Newville, Cumberland Co., PA. There are about twenty-five Diller gravestones (some quite small ones) erected in the graveyard.
On a new monument erected in 1907 by some relatives are these words. All other stones of the Dillers are much older.
"Francis and Anna Diller, of Biglen, Switzerland, emigrated in 1754 from Lachanx, Defonds, to Lancaster Co, PA, where Francis died in 1783 and was buried near Bowmansville, PA. His wife, Anna, who died in 1810 lies here with her three sons, Francis, Peter and Abraham."

Notes for Anna (Spouse 1)
Birth: Jun., 1707
Bern, SwitzerlandDeath: 1810
Newville
Cumberland County
Pennsylvania, USA
Anna (née ??) Diller was married to Francis Diller/Tuëller before she and her husband moved from Biglen, Switzerland, to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, where they resided for eleven years (1743-1754) and started raising her young family.
According to the record of her tombstone, which is known from documentary evidence to be at least in part erroneous, Anna was born in June 1707. Her maiden name has not yet been discovered, but the fact that among the Peter Diller papers—Peter, a son, was named as the executor of the will of his father, Francis Diller—there is a church certificate from Germany dated 1753 for a Maria Dorothea Wollhausen, which indicates that a person of that name came over with the Francis Diller family and may have been Anna's sister.
The first definite information we have concerning Anna is contained in her husband's will made in 1782. After the death of her husband, Francis, Anna lived with her youngest son Abraham Diller and moved with him about 1790 from Lancaster county to the "old fort" farm in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania.
The "old fort" stood on a point of land having a steep back overlooking the Conodoguinet Creek, three miles north east of Newville, PA. The log-fort house has disappeared, but a pear tree planted by the Dillers was still standing in 1906. It is said by J. D. Burkhart to have been the place where our great-great-grandmother Anna used to sit and watch the bees about swarming time. This pear tree is the only living thing which we can certainly associate with our great ancestor.
Every year from 1784 to 1807 inclusive, Anna Diller receipted to her son Abraham for all and every article given her by the will of her husband as her annual income. The original receipts are in the Peter Diller papers now [i.e., 1910] in the possession of John Diller of Decatur, Illinois. The lack of further receipts suggests that she died soon after, though she may have lived several years. John Bear was scrivener for Peter Diller, and among the John Bear papers J.S. Diller found a number of legal documents showing that Anna's death occurred between 1809 and 1811.
