Philip Boehm, only son of Anthony William Boehm and Hannah Philis Boehm, was born at the homestead in Upper Saucon township, Lehigh Co., PA, December 14, 1747, and died January 10, 1816. He was the first to dispose of any of the land first owned by Rev. John Philip Boehm, consequently did not leave the family so well endowed with land as his predecessors, but he did leave a larger family, and from him sprang a numerous family. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence, owning considerable property in Upper Saucon township, then Northampton, now Lehigh Co., and according to the tax list of 1782 for Lower Saucon township, Northampton Co., he owned a tanyard, three horses, four cows, and four sheep. In 1779 he was assistant collector of taxes for Lower Saucon, and at an election held October 10, 1780, he was elected coroner of Northampton Co.. From 1779 to 1785 he is also described in the records as an inn keeper of Lower Saucon township. Philip Boehm was also lieutenant-colonel of Colonel Guger's battalion of Northampton Co. militia... There are many references to him in connection with the military affairs of the Co., and although he sold much of the land inherited from his father, realizing $12,000, he was not a wealthy man, probably being paid in Continental money, there being a tradition that he left a chest full of that worthless money. He married Anna Barbara Schrieber, born November 2, 1747, who survived him sixteen years, dying October 10, 1832. By stipulation with the buyers she continued her residence in the old home, a stone house, now standing on what is known as the Geissinger farm. Philip and Anna Barbara were both buried at Lower Saucon Reformed Church graveyard.
