“Church Records: Adams, Berks & Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania 1729-1881” Burial on March 1, 1794 in Schwartzwald Reformed Church in Berks Co, PA.
Casper has a nice plaque erected for him as the pogenitor of the Griesemer's in Pennsylvania. Plaque notes him as a French Huguenot pioneer who traveled to America from the Palatinate in 1730, on the ship "Thistle." He received a 50 acre land warrant in Philadelphia County on 22 November 1737. Casper and Rebecca established their homestead on land of Rebecca's father, which Rebecca inherited in 1749 when her father died. Casper purchased additional land in 1754. The 1767 Tax List has him owning 25 acres in West District Township, probably his father's land. Casper was buried on the homestead when he died in 1794. However, his remains were later removed in 1870 and buried at Oley Cemetery by concerned descendants.
