Johann GEORGE Anshutz Jr. Born 1 Mar 1781 "In the Jagershall", Zuigweiler, Alsace. Christened 4 Mar 1781 in
Evangelical Church, Niederbronn, Alsace. Died 26 Jul 1852 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Buried in Allegheny Cem., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. A record left by George Ludwig Anshutz indicates that his eldest son, Johann George was born "In the Jagershall" (Hunting Valley), which is the valley where the three iron furnace villages of the Anshutz family were located. Einsweiler is one of these. An original baptismal certificate, or blessing, shows he was baptized in the Evangelical Church of Neiderbronn. Although his headstone lists his birthplace as Einsweiler, Germany, all of the places mentioned above are in Alsace, then part of France. The Anshutz family were reputed to be the first to bring a piano over the Alleghenies. George appears in a newspaper advertisement in Pittsburgh on August 1, 1795, as manager of the Westmoreland Furnace, and offering stoves and castings for sale. This same furnace was used to cast grape and canister shot for the War of 1812. Letters written by George Anshutz, Jr., his wife Martha, and their children to their relatives in Huntingdon, are in the Dreer Collection of the
Pennsylvania Historical Society in Philadelphia.
