Served as a private in the Revolution and in 1794 was Captain of the 1st Co. 4th regiment of the Northampton Co. militia. Probably moved to Clarion Co., Pa about 1820, as the family record gives the birth of a grandson, Jonas, son of Charles, Aug 10, 1824, Madison Twp., Clarion Co. Casper lived on the farm at Johnston Hill, Cross Roads, Toby Twp (now owned by Berle Shirey), which he sold to Jacob Rimer, father of Maj. David Rimer, Progenitor of Rimersburg. Buried in Churchville Lutheran & Reformed Cemetery, just outside Curlsville, PA.
Caspar is found in the following: 1785 tax list for Allen Twp., Northampton Co. PA. In the history of Northampton Co., by Peter Fritts. 1800 Northampton Co., page 585. The 1810 Lower Mt Bethal Twp, page 079, 1820 census pg 265. They then moved to Armstrong Co, Pa., Toby Twp, listed on page 237 as Caspar Flick along with his sons Joseph, Jesse (Jepe) and Charles.
According to the article "Captain Gerlach Paul Flick, Pennsylvania Pioneer" by Alexander C. Flick found in "the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography", Vol. LIII (1929), pg. 230-268 it says the following: Like his father, Caspar was a miller by trade. Paid taxes on 193 acres in Moor Twp in 1785. Took out a warrant for 400 acres in Northampton Co; in 1808 another tract of 50 acres, & in 1832 another tract of 12 acres. Alexander Flick has Caspar's (he went by Caspar, as his father Gerlach Paul went by the name "Paul") death date as 1840 in Northampton Co. This is clearly wrong, as his tombstone is in what is now Clarion Co., PA, then Armstrong Co., marked 1833.

2. John Caspar Flick was born 22 July 1758 in Bedminster Township, Bucks County, Penna. He was the son of Gerlach Paul and Anna Maria (Fabian) Flick. He was christened 4 November 1758 in the Tohickon German Reformed Church. He moved to Northampton County, PA. with his parents. Like his father, he was a miller by trade. He was married about 1782 to Betsy Foulk. Her parents are not known. Some accounts say that she worked as a servant to earn her passage to America. She and Casper were the parents of twelve children. Betsy died 21 January 1848 in Clarion County, PA and is buried in Churchville Cemetery.
Caspar was eighteen years old when the Revolutionary War started and he enlisted as a Private and served throughout the Revolution. For a time, he served in the 8th Company, 4th Battalion of the Northampton County Militia which was under command of his father, Capt. Paul Flick.
Caspar and Betsy moved to Armstrong County, PA. (now Clarion County), probably around 1830. He died 22 Feb 1833 at age 75 and is buried in Churchville Reformed Cemetery in Monroe Township, Clarion County. Although he died in Clarion County, his estate record is in Northampton County, PA.

Bapt Nov 14, 1758 by Rev John Egidius Hecker. Witnesses were Caspar Fabian and Barbara Waldmann. (Source Tohickon Reformed Ch records).
Per Ackerman Family History:
"While Gerlach Paul Flick was still living in Bedminster Twp, Bucks Co., his first two children ere born: Anna Margaret, Aug 18, 1756; and John Caspar, born June 22, baptized Nov. 14, 1758, according to records of Tohickon Reformed Church. John Caspar Flick became a miller by trade, like his father before him. Taxed in Moor Twp. in 1780 130 pounds as a single man, he later married 'Betsy' Foulk. He served as a private in the Revolution, and in 1794 was Captain of the 1st. Compnay of the 4th. Regiment of Northampton Co., Militia. In 1785 he was still living in Moor Twp., according to tax lists. But in 1802 he bought from Henry Rothrock (See Northampton Co. Deed Book B-5, p.47) 134 A. 46 P. - 'A Certain Plantation and Tract of land called 'Springfiel' situate in Smalley's Creek in Lower Mount Bethel....by land of Casper Flick (evidently he already had land there)...by land of Samuel Rothrock'. Then in 1804 (Deed book G-2, p. 637) he bought from Philip Sholl and Margaret his wife ' a certain tract of Piece of Land situate in Upper Mount Bethel Twp., bounded by lands now or late of Henry Rothrock, John Moyer, John Beisher and others containing 30 acres more or less late the estate of John Rothrock, with a grist Mill thereon erected and other appurtenances'. This location in Upper Mount Bethel seemed a little odd. When however in 1820 Casper Flick and Elizabeth his wife sold these 30 acres to George Moyer, the deed recites ' A certain Tract of land situate (therein said in UPPER Mount Bethel, but actually in Lower Mount Bethel). See Deed Book G-4, p. 96."
On April 16, 1830 Casper Flick, Miller, and his wife sold to John Cressman '4 continguous pieces of land containing 100 A strict measure, together with all and singular the Buildings, Improvements, Mills, Mill Pond, races, ways, woods, waters, watercourses (excepting and reserving the privilege of taking water from the said Creek at the place where there was formerly a Dam when there is a Surplus of Water, more than is Sufficient for the use of the Mill or Mills (but at no other time) for the purpose of Watering meadow and for no other use or intent whatsoever). Also the further privilege of making or erecting a bridge over the Mill race for the conveniencey of passing and repassing to other lands of said Casper Flick his heirs and assigns". See Deed Book F-5, p.359."
A re-survey made later showed 'it is deficient in quantity 1 acre and 26 perches'. So it was made right Sept. 17, 1830. In this deed Casper Flick, grantor, is siad to be 'late of Lower Mount Bethel'. He moved to western Pennsylvania."
The original mill was torn down and rebuilt by the Cressman family in 1838; but its location is well known to inhabitants of Flicksville. it stood on the left side of the road leading from Flicksville to Bangor, immediately beyond the road that turns toward Ackerman over the Flicksville brand of Martin's Creek."
These deeds just mentioned place Casper Flick near this junction of roads. Moreover a number of his children likewise lived near: John Flick, Catharine, Jacob, Polly, Jess and Lydia. Catharine's husband, Daniel Stopp bought land in 1827, and adjoining land of Nicholas Kraemer and the heirs of Jonathan Nelso..by land of Philip Kester...by land of Christian Shick.

Per Ackermann history, Caspar & Betsy moved with some of their children to Toby Twp., Armstrong Co, Pa., near Rimersburg, PA. Philip Kester, a brother of Eve Barbara Kester, wife of John Flick, was also in Armstrong Co in 1832. There seems to have been a migration to Western PA in the 1830s. On Aug. 24, 1833, John Flick was given the power of attorney by other heirs to dispose of any property remaining in Lower Mount Bethel Twp. (See Letter of Attorney book, No. 3, p. 257, etc.). So, in April, 1834, John Flick, innkeeper, and wife, sold to Joshua Smith of Lower Mt. Bethel, farmer, an acreage of 135 A. 70 P., "extending to a stone in the middle of the krick, including all water courses excepting a certain water course, which Casper Flick had granted to Michael Cressman". (see Deed Book, F-6, p. 220).

Per Ackermann history, Caspar & Betsy moved with some of their children to Toby Twp., Armstrong Co, Pa., near Rimersburg, PA. Philip Kester, a brother of Eve Barbara Kester, wife of John Flick, was also in Armstrong Co in 1832. There seems to have been a migration to Western PA in the 1830s. On Aug. 24, 1833, John Flick was given the power of attorney by other heirs to dispose of any property remaining in Lower Mount Bethel Twp. (See Letter of Attorney book, No. 3, p. 257, etc.). So, in April, 1834, John Flick, innkeeper, and wife, sold to Joshua Smith of Lower Mt. Bethel, farmer, an acreage of 135 A. 70 P., "extending to a stone in the middle of the krick, including all water courses excepting a certain water course, which Casper Flick had granted to Michael Cressman". (see Deed Book, F-6, p. 220).

Caspar is found in the following: 1785 tax list for Allen Twp., Northampton Co. PA. In the history of Northampton Co., by Peter Fritts. 1800 Northampton Co., page 585. The 1810 Lower Mt Bethal Twp, page 079, 1820 census pg 265. They then moved to Armstrong Co, Pa., Toby Twp, listed on page 237 as Caspar Flick along with his sons Joseph, Jesse (Jepe) and Charles.
According to the article "Captain Gerlach Paul Flick, Pennsylvania Pioneer" by Alexander C. Flick found in "the Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography", Vol. LIII (1929), pg. 230-268 it says the following: Like his father, Caspar was a miller by trade. Paid taxes on 193 acres in Moor Twp in 1785. Took out a warrant for 400 acres in Northampton Co; in 1808 another tract of 50 acres, & in 1832 another tract of 12 acres. Alexander Flick has Caspar's (he went by Caspar, as his father Gerlach Paul went by the name "Paul") death date as 1840 in Northampton Co. This is clearly wrong, as his tombstone is in what is now Clarion Co., PA, then Armstrong Co., marked 1833.

2. John Caspar Flick was born 22 July 1758 in Bedminster Township, Bucks County, Penna. He was the son of Gerlach Paul and Anna Maria (Fabian) Flick. He was christened 4 November 1758 in the Tohickon German Reformed Church. He moved to Northampton County, PA. with his parents. Like his father, he was a miller by trade. He was married about 1782 to Betsy Foulk. Her parents are not known. Some accounts say that she worked as a servant to earn her passage to America. She and Casper were the parents of twelve children. Betsy died 21 January 1848 in Clarion County, PA and is buried in Churchville Cemetery.

Per Ackerman Family History:
"While Gerlach Paul Flick was still living in Bedminster Twp, Bucks Co., his first two children ere born: Anna Margaret, Aug 18, 1756; and John Caspar, born June 22, baptized Nov. 14, 1758, according to records of Tohickon Reformed Church. John Caspar Flick became a miller by trade, like his father before him. Taxed in Moor Twp. in 1780 130 pounds as a single man, he later married 'Betsy' Foulk. He served as a private in the Revolution, and in 1794 was Captain of the 1st. Compnay of the 4th. Regiment of Northampton Co., Militia. In 1785 he was still living in Moor Twp., according to tax lists. But in 1802 he bought from Henry Rothrock (See Northampton Co. Deed Book B-5, p.47) 134 A. 46 P. - 'A Certain Plantation and Tract of land called 'Springfiel' situate in Smalley's Creek in Lower Mount Bethel....by land of Casper Flick (evidently he already had land there)...by land of Samuel Rothrock'. Then in 1804 (Deed book G-2, p. 637) he bought from Philip Sholl and Margaret his wife ' a certain tract of Piece of Land situate in Upper Mount Bethel Twp., bounded by lands now or late of Henry Rothrock, John Moyer, John Beisher and others containing 30 acres more or less late the estate of John Rothrock, with a grist Mill thereon erected and other appurtenances'. This location in Upper Mount Bethel seemed a little odd. When however in 1820 Casper Flick and Elizabeth his wife sold these 30 acres to George Moyer, the deed recites ' A certain Tract of land situate (therein said in UPPER Mount Bethel, but actually in Lower Mount Bethel). See Deed Book G-4, p. 96."
On April 16, 1830 Casper Flick, Miller, and his wife sold to John Cressman '4 continguous pieces of land containing 100 A strict measure, together with all and singular the Buildings, Improvements, Mills, Mill Pond, races, ways, woods, waters, watercourses (excepting and reserving the privilege of taking water from the said Creek at the place where there was formerly a Dam when there is a Surplus of Water, more than is Sufficient for the use of the Mill or Mills (but at no other time) for the purpose of Watering meadow and for no other use or intent whatsoever). Also the further privilege of making or erecting a bridge over the Mill race for the conveniencey of passing and repassing to other lands of said Casper Flick his heirs and assigns". See Deed Book F-5, p.359."
A re-survey made later showed 'it is deficient in quantity 1 acre and 26 perches'. So it was made right Sept. 17, 1830. In this deed Casper Flick, grantor, is siad to be 'late of Lower Mount Bethel'. He moved to western Pennsylvania."
The original mill was torn down and rebuilt by the Cressman family in 1838; but its location is well known to inhabitants of Flicksville. it stood on the left side of the road leading from Flicksville to Bangor, immediately beyond the road that turns toward Ackerman over the Flicksville brand of Martin's Creek."
These deeds just mentioned place Casper Flick near this junction of roads. Moreover a number of his children likewise lived near: John Flick, Catharine, Jacob, Polly, Jess and Lydia. Catharine's husband, Daniel Stopp bought land in 1827, and adjoining land of Nicholas Kraemer and the heirs of Jonathan Nelso..by land of Philip Kester...by land of Christian Shick. (Deed Book C-5, p. 449 1/2."
