Peter Romig, second son of John Adam, was born June 28, 1770, in Upper Saucon, and died Aug. 9, 1844 in North Whitehall. He was a miller and blacksmith and in 1790 removed to North Whitehall, where his father had purchased a tract of land along the Coplay creek and erected a grist-mill of stone. This was torn down in 1826 and a stone mill still standing, but no longer operated, was erected. Peter Romig also built a saw-mill here, which he bequeathed to his son. John, with a larger portion of the land, and the grist-mill and 17 acres to his son, Peter.
