Frederick was a farmer and lived for a time in Lynn Township but soon removed to Macungie Township, where he had patented a tract, March 14, 1742, of over two hundred and fifty acres. This tract lay on both sides of a steam of water adjoining the church lands, that of Mathias Egner, Peter Walbeit and others. He added to this original tract other holdings and became one of Macungie's largest freeholders. He also erected a gristmill on his property and became far famed as a miller, a trade that many of his descendants later followed. He was an influential man in his community and a faithful member of the Moravian congregation at Emaus. He was the confidential advisor for many of the early settlers and frequently acted, as guardian for orphans, among whom was George Zeisloff, whose family had been massacred by the Indians. He died July 6, 1783 and together with his wife, who died Oct. 7, 1793 was buried in the old family burial ground on the old homestead Mrs. Romig at the time of her death was survived by one hundred and five grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.
