(1754.) In Bethel, the most remote north-west township in Berks county, we find, in 1754, George Boeshor, George Emerick, Michael Grove, George Grove, Nicholas Pontius, George Reninger, Jacob Leininger, Jacob Seirer, Ulrich Seltzer, Baltzer Smith, Michael Weyland.
Annuls of the Buffalo Valley
Prior to 1786 Balthaser lived in Pine Grove Twsp. Berks County , Pennsylvania:
Among those who were living here soon after the Revolution, some of whom had undoubtedly settled several years previous, were families named Minnich, Gebert and Beuchler; and the families of Augst Brossius, John Weiss, Henry Souder, Jacob Haberling, John Haberling, Valentine Haberline, Jacob Smythe, Adam Kalbach, George Pressler, John Adams, George Berger, Baltzer Houpt and Baltszer Smith. Frederick Schnoke was one of the first settlers.
Lumbering was the main business in this region from 1780 till comparatively recent time. Of course many saw-mills have been built and permitted to go to decay. It is believed that Baltzer Smith built the first one about 1780, on a branch of the Swatara, about one mile south of Pine Grove borough.
Surviving children verified by the Will of Balthaser Smith dated 20 December 1794 and proved 9 April 1796.
