Notes for Godshalk GODSHALK
After the death of his father, William, he purchased land in Frederick Township, near Schwenksville, and moved there in 1781. He purchased land from time to time until he owned 400 acres. Most of this land had belonged to the Perkiomen Copper Mine Company, chartered by Act of Assembly in 1772. At his death he had left 246 acres of land. This was equally divided between his two sons, Dillman and William. That part of the land has been in the family five generations for 143 years, 1781-1924. The present owner is Newton S. Gottshall.
