A German immigrant, Abraham Kieffer arrived in Philadelphia on 15 Sep 1748 on the ship Two Brothers.

Researchers originally believed Abraham Kieffer was buried at Zion Lutheran Cemetery, Berks County, Pennsylvania. This appears to be because the minister of Zion Lutheran, Charles G. Herman, presided at his funeral, and noted his burial in the records of Zion Lutheran Church. C.Z. states he is buried at Kieffer Cemetery, Lyons, Maxatawny Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, based on the contemporary works of Rev. Willis K. Heckler.
