p 738
Surnames: KAUFMAN, BERNDT, SELL, HAAS, KELLER, MADARY, KLOHS, WILLETS, LEIGHTHEISER
One of the old and honored families of Berks county, Pa., is that of Kaufman, which has a worthy representative in Reading in David K. Kaufman, now living retired after a busy and successful career.
The Kaufman family was founded in America by two brothers, Jacob and Samuel Kaufman, who emigrated from Switzerland to America in 1770, the former settling in the Oley Valley and, the latter, the great-grandfather of David K., in Maiden Creek, where he became a very prosperous farmer and stock dealer and a man well and favorably known in his vicinity. The name of his wife is not known, but it is known that their son, Samuel, married Catherine Berndt and had a large family, among whom were: John G., Samuel, Daniel, David and two daughters, one of whom married a Mr. Sell, and the other David Haas. In religious belief the family were members of the Reformed denomination. The Kaufmans were Whigs up to the time of the formation of the Republican party, when they joined the latter organization.
end of biography
Montgomery gives wife of Samuel as Catharine Berndt but it is Mary Bernet buried with him. And she was his second wife. His first
wife was Maria Magdalena Glass.
Suggested edit: Samuel was son of Johannes and Susannah (Barney) Kaufman of Maiden Creek, Berks County, PA. Johannes was born in 1742, died 1815. Susannah was born 1744, died 1829.
