"... Heinrich Zeller and wife in 1745 erected a house of heavy stone walls over a spring of water and used it as a "fort" - a place of security of refuge against the marauding Indian. Popularly the place became known as "Zeller's Fort", and in colonial times, during the Indian and French Wars, it gained for itself an enviable reputation as a place of safety and protection."

"iii. Johann Heinrich Zeller, born ca. 1716, probably in Schoharie; died in Heidelberg Township, Dauphin (now Lebanon County) prior to 15 Jun 1790, when his Administrators petitioned the Dauphin County Orphans Court for division of his lands; married before 1744, Maria Margaret Rieth, born ca. 1721; died ca. 1807, Daughter of Johann Leonard Rieth.
"He is presumed to have been of age when by a warrant dated 4 Jul 1737, he had surveyed 18.75 acres on a branch of Tulpehocken Creek adjoining the 132 acres laid out for his father in 1734. Because his father had failed to comply with conditions of the 1734 warrant which had "become utterly void," a new warrant dated 30 Oct 1741, was issued to "Henry Seller, son of said John Seller," in order that the 132 acres might be conveyed to him.
"Children baptized by the Rev. Stoever or in Millbach Reformed Church included:
John Henry Zeller, 26 Mar 1745, sponsors Johann Heinrich Zeller Sr., (great Uncle of the child) and wife, at which time Johann Heinrich Jr., the father of the child, was called a tailor; Anna Amalia Zeller, 15 Mar 1747; Tobias Zeller, 15 Nov 1761, sponsors David Zeller (Uncle of the child) and wife; a son unnamed, 23 Apr 1764, sponsors Peter Zeller (Uncle of the child) and his wife.
"On 15 Jun 1790, John Zeller, the eldest son, and Nicholas Klotz, administrators of the estate of Henry Zeller late of Heidelberg Township, petitioned the Dauphin County Orphans Court for a jury to view their father's land in order to divide it among the heirs. On 17 Jun 1790, the jury reported that the 150.75 acres could not be divided without impairing the whole, and valued it at £950. The heirs named in this record were the widow, Mary Zeller, the eldest son John, Margaret Elizabeth, wife of Nicholas Klotz, Elizabeth, wife of Michael Swengel, Anna Maria, wife of Andrew Berger, and Henry, Michael, Frederick, Tobias, and Peter Zeller. The estate was not settled until 17 Apr 1793, at which time the widow Mary Zeller was still living."
