CATHARINE KREIDER MUMMA
9:94. Catharine Kreider, daughter of Jacob, Jr., of Snitz Creek, married Isaac Mumma, b. in 1809. He was a farmer near Campbelltown and later retired in Campbelltown. They were Mennonites. Isaac was a large, well proportioned man. He stood six feet in height and weighed 240 pounds. His wife had the same weight. He was reputed in his day to be the strongest man in Lebanon county. He would take one barrel of flour and [stand] it on another. Then he would lift the third barrel and stand it on the second one. It was a puzzle to an ordinary man how to get the uppermost barrel back on the floor.
9:95. In the autumn of 1732 Lenhart Mumma arrived in the Pequea settlement of the Mennonites. Whether he was the ancestor of the Lebanon county Mummas we know not. Mummas went from Lancaster county down into the Valley of Virginia. Elder Benj. Franklin Moomaw (as it is there spelled) of near Roanoke, Virginia, was a leader among the Brethren of the South, and through his efforts largely the Southern Congress exempted the Brethren, with the payment of a $500 tax, from military service. But on the battlefield he was an angel of mercy to the wounded soldier whether clad in blue or gray. His biographer says the name is French. Not a few French were found among the Mennonites. The Forney family is also of French origin and Mennonite.
