• Notes

  From: "History of Byberry & Moreland In Philadelphia" published 1867 Andrew Ott Andrew Ott was born at Vartzheim, in Germany, in 1739, and was brought to this country by his parents when about five or six years old. They landed at Philadelphia, where they staid about six weeks, and then moved to a place in the country near the Pennypack Creek. When the Revolutionary War broke out, he enlisted in Washington's army under Captain Douglass. He was in the battles of Long Island and Brandywine, and at Fort Constitution on the Hudson, where there was some skirmishing. Soon after the was was over he married and settled in Byberry, where he resided for several years. After this, he bought a lot of land in Bucks County, where he spent the remainder of his days. He had no school learning, and could neither read nor write, yet he transacted all his business, and seldom made any mistakes. He was a plain, idustrious, frugal man, a member of All Saint's church, and was much respected by his neighbors. He died in December, 1841, aged 102 years.
