On the 20th of May, in North Annville, Johannes Maulfair, aged 85 years, 1 month and 14 days.
The great-grand-father of Augustus Maulfair was born in Germany and came to America with a brother, they being as far as discovered, the only members of the family who ever crossed the ocean. Together they established the old Maul-fair homestead. This was in pioneer days and before the country had been settled in their vicinity. The brother was killed by the lindens and his wife was captured, but she escaped from the savages five years later, but never recovered from the hardships she had been forced to endure, and died soon after. As they left no issue, John succeeded to the whole property. He had these children: Michael, who married Christina Ellenberger; John, who married Elizabeth Seltzer; Elizabeth, who married Peter Beck; Jacob, who married Sabina Winters; Henry, who married Elizabeth Walborn, of Berks county; Catherine, who married David Wagner; Polly, who married Abraham Bowman; Daniel; William, who married Eliza Bolton; Sarah, who married George Miller; Joseph, who married Priscilla Staeger; Mary, who married Joseph Earley; and Rebecca, who married Samuel Zimmerman.

From Frederick S. Frantz
In the Biographical Annals of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, pg. 345, in a sketch of the Maulfair family, Elizabeth Maulfair is given as the wife of Peter Beck. Her father is given as John Maulfair. Her mother's name is given . I can't tell if John is the immigrant or the son of the immigrant. John lived at the Union Waterworks in North Annville Twp., Lebanon Co. The Union Waterworks provided water from the Swatara Rive to the Union Canal. Presumably the Becks, the Maulfairs and the Strohmans were neighbors. Priscilla Beck, Peter's daughter, married Stephen Strohman.
