Abraham LeFevre
Birth: 9 Apr 1706
Death: 20 Nov 1735 (aged 29)
Burial: LeFevre Cemetery, Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
Memorial #: 69173614
Bio: Abraham, with the assistance of his father Isaac, built a two-story log house one mile north of Strasburg, Pa., on the tract which was to be in his inheritance at the time of his father's death. But dying in 1735 before its completion, his father finished the building, and thus its remains are the only tangible work left of our French ancestor Isaac LeFevre of 1669. The house stood a little west of the present brick dwelling erected in 1836, and the foundation, even with the surface of the ground, is shown to visitors. A dozen or more of the great logs from the building, some measuring twenty-one inches wide, are still in the large bank barn built in 1837, the year following the erection of the brick house by George, the great-grandson of Isaac and the the grandfather of the Compiler, George N. LeFevre, who remodeled the house in 1891.
