Hilbert Burial Ground
Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA
History: Reading Tirnes, Sept. 10, 1981, "Alsace Board of Supervisors agreed to help locate a burial place of an ancestor, Johannes Hilbert, who supposedly was interred on his 28 acres of woodland in 1806." According to the will of Johannes Hilbert (1806), his land was in Rockland Township. No Hilbert is listed in the 1862 and 1876 Atlas for Ruscombmanor or Alsace nor any in the 1752 taxables but a Johannes is listed for Rockland in both the 1862 and 1876 Atlas. See the 1876 Map right near Pike/District line. Owner also reported another site on the other side of his property which is actually in District Township.
Gravemarkers and inscriptions: None remain.
Observations: The brush was too thick to thoroughly evaluate much of the area other than the lane itself. At some points it was clear enough to pick up a pattern of 8 rows with 9 abreast, laying north to south.
Site address: 84 Fivepoints Rd. Mertztown
Pin: 75-5460-00-98-3718* DB 2807 p. 2263
