"Valentine Annawald settled in Allen Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased from Thomas Boyd, on July 1st, 1773, for 670 Pounds (English) a tract of 103 Acres and 36 Perches of land, it being a part of a tract of 6000 Acres known as the "Indian Tract", on the west branch of the Delaware River. He also purchased a tract of 20 Acres and 10 Perches for 100 Pounds, in specie, on November 24th, 1784, from Frederick Beck. These transactions indicate that he brought with him to America, a considerable sum of money, in specie, and was not an impecunious immigrant. On these purchased lands he built a large and substantial two story residence. I have a Kodak picture of this home, taken in 1925, showing its substantial and lasting character, though now sadly in need of repairs...He was a Farmer and a Weaver, a substantial Tax-payer. He was a Revolutionary War soldier..."
