Excerpted from Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania. By John W. Jordan. 1978
Rudolph Neff, the elder of the emigrant brothers, born in Switerland, September 26, 1727, married at the Market Square Church, Germantown January 6, 1752, Hannah Morse, daughter of Widow Morse, a Quakeress at whose house the Neff brothers lodged on first coming to Frankford.
Rudolph Neff purchased, prior to his marriage, a brick house in Frankford in which he resided. He later dealt extensively in real estate in and about of his adopted country and was captain of a company in the Philadelphia Battalion of the Flying Camp commanded by Colonel Robert Lewis, the first body of Pennsylvania militia sent to support of Washington's army about New York in 1776. Whether he rendered later service in the Revolutionary struggle after the disbandment of the Flying Camp, does not appear the rolls of Philadelphia militia being very incomplete and fragmentary.
He died February 14, 1809. His wife Hannah Morse, who was born in 1721, had died January 10, 1789, both lie buried in the graveyard of Frankford Presbyterian Church
