Nicholas Kintzer, the progenitor of a family numerous in western Berks county, was born in Germany Nov. 15, 1715. When less than fifteen years old he crossed the ocean on the ship Thistle, which arrived at Philadelphia Aug. 29, 1730, and he came to live in Tulpehocken township, Berks county, Pa., where he came became a substantial citizen. In 1759 he was assessed L16. which, reckoning $2.66 to the Pennsylvania pound, amounted to $42.56 of current coin. This pioneer settler died Jan. 20, 1794, in the seventy-ninth year of his age, and he is buried at the Host Church, of which he was a member. His grave is marked by a brown sandstone the inscription on which is still legible. His will, which was made Dec. 15, 1791, and probated March 5, 1794, is recorded in Will Book B, page 355. The executors were his son Jacob and Thomas Kurr, and the following children are mentioned in the document: Jacob; Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Kurr; Margaret, wife of Godfrey Real; Catharine, who died before her father, her children receiving her share; and Julian, deceased.
