aka Nicolaus Bittmann, Nicolaus Bietmann.
Nicholas was the second eldest son of Andreas Bittmann, was born about 1727 in Framersheim Germany, and emigrated from Germany to America, accompanied by his cousin Philip Peter Becker, in 1749 on the ship "Edinburgh" that departed Rotterdam, Holland and arrived in Pennsylvania on 15 September 1749. Nicholas' two younger brothers, Anthony and John Philip, also emigrated to America and settled in Virginia.
It is not known for certain that Nicholas, and his wife Catharine (Snapp), are buried in this cemetery. However, the small cemetery lies on the farm where they lived until their deaths in the late 1700's. Nicholas purchased the 210-ac farm from Martin & Sybilla Roller in 1779. The farm remained in the possession of their sons Lawrence and John Sr until it was sold to Samuel Kern in 1808, the latter who is buried in the cemetery. If not actually buried in this small cemetery, then Nicholas and Catharine are certainly buried somewhere on the farm.
In addition to the three children linked below, their eldest daughter was Elizabeth, born ca. 1760, but for which little other information is known other than mention of her in the St. Paul - Strasburg church records.
