| 1. | Samuel M. LEHMAN was born Aug 1772, Muhen, Aargau, Switzerland; was christened 16 Aug 1772, Schöftland, Aargau, Switzerland (son of Hans Rudolf LEHMAN and Anna HILFIKER); died 16 Oct 1867, Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; was buried Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51 . Notes:
Samuel, Catharine, and their son David and David's son William were originally buried at Monument Cemetery in Philadelphia. Their remains were relocated to Lawnview Cemetery in 1956 upon the closure of Monument Cemetery and its acquisition by Temple University.
Occupation Stone Cutter, as were his sons John and Samuel, per Passenger List for the good ship Howard, from Le Havre, France, arrived New York 11 Jun 1824.
Samuel apparently spent his life in the United States in Philadelphia, moving there after 1824. In various Philadelphia city directories, he was listed as a stone cutter from 1829 to 1833. Between 1835 and 1847, Samuel was listed variously as a blacksmith, innkeeper, gunsmith, and locksmith, although there were also other persons named Samuel Lehman in those years. In the 1850 US Census he listed his occupation as 'None.' Then from 1854 to 1863 he was listed as a bricklayer, with the exception of 1862 when he was listed as a moulder, a person who carved stone. (Samuel's son George had been listed as a moulder in the 1850 Census) In 1867, the year of his death, Samuel was listed as a water color manufacturer, certainly working for his son-in-law Joseph Brutsche because his listed address, 250 S. 10th, was also Joseph's address, and Joseph was in fact a water color manufacturer.
Samuel married Catharina PIAT 24 Jul 1795, Oberentfelden, Aargau, Switzerland. Catharina (daughter of Johannes PIAT and Elisabeth BLATNER) was born Küttigen, Argau, Switzerland; was christened 1 Jan 1774, Kirchberg Küttigen, Aargau, Switzerland; died 22 Jul 1848, Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; was buried 23 Jul 1848, Monument Cemetery, Philadelphia removed to Lawnview Cemetery, Rockledge, Pennsylvania, Susquehanna Lawn, Section 64, Grave 51 .
