Here he is said to have built his house beside a never failing spring on the site of an Indian wigwam. James Snell states that, in 1881, evidence of the old Indian cemetery on the farm was still present.[13] (This deed was acknowledged by John Reading on 30 March 1730).

He died 1 May 1783 and proven 20 April 1784, in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., New Jersey.[36],[37]

In Paul's will he names his wife and children.[38] Paul leaves to his wife Eva Mary the use of the house and its furniture for her natural life, her sons Leonard and Paul caring for her and delivering to her 1/6 of all grain raised on the plantation and son Christopher paying her 5 per year and finding and maintaining 4 sheep and delivering their wool yearly to her, Leonard and Paul to winter her 2 cows and son William to pay her 3 yearly.

The provision in Paul's will concerning Paul Jr.'s portion prevented final settlement of the estate until; 1826. Paul Jr.'s children having predeceased him, he left legacies totaling $8,000.00 to his sisters and their children. After his death in 1825, Christopher Sr., had to sell the entailed real estate the 42 acres of Woodland in small parcels to 8 relatives and neighbors for $1, 034.85, and the 196 acres to William Kuhl for $5,495.14. After 42 years he was finally able to settle the estate.[39] The matter had dragged on so long that some of the final papers are confused with those of Paul Jr.'s estate in the files at Flemington.

The following six deeds and quit-claims are in the records of the Western Division of the Province of New Jersey at Trenton. Letters refer to libers, numbers to folior 18 May 1742, William Burge, merchant (by virtue of his wife's being an heir to the Henry Stacy estate) and Elizabeth his wife of Philadelphia, to Paul Cool and Henry Dirts of Amwell Twp., Husbandmen, for 570, money of Pennsylvania, 500 acres plus the usual allowances for highways, as surveyed to William Burge 6 May 1712, being then in Burlington County, New Jersey, but now in Hunterdon County.[40]

On 30 May 1745 Samuel Farnworth of Chesterfield, Burlington County, deeded Paul Kuhl 222 acres, plus allowances, in Bethlehem Twp., for 115, Paul Kuhl being in actual possession. The concluding clause, quaint to us now, was in substances common at the time: he would make any farther necessary deeds, etc., within 7 years, "provided the part or parties to whom such request shall be made be not hereby compelled to travel further than ten miles from the place or his or their usual residence or aboard (sis) for the doing thereof". That he acquired under property, the deeds for which were apparently not recorded, if evidenced by his will.

 “It is the opinion that there is a very strong probability that the prominent New Jersey settler Johann Peter1 Fischer of Amwell, naturalized 8 July 1730 - the same day as Johann Martin1 Fischer, was the Johann Peter, s/o Hans Wilhelm Fischer and his wife Leys, baptized 27 Jan 1698 - sp.: Hans Peter - s/o the late Ludwig Becker at N.B., Joh. Matthias - brother of the child’s father, and Veronica - d/o Jacob Honnert and sister of the child/s mother (Niederbieber Church Book).  The ancestry of Hans Wilhelm Fischer is very difficult to sort out, as several Niederbieber Fischer’s who had the same exact name resided in the town at the same time.  However, utilizing the clue in the 1698 sp. which shows the father (Hanß Wilhelm Fischer) having a brother named Johann Matthias, it is interesting to note that “Johann Matheus, s/o Christian Fischer and wife Christina at Segendorf, was baptized 11 July 1680.”  Christian Fischer, s/o Hamann Fischer at Segendorf, sp. Joh. Christoph Wagner in 1672.  Christian Fischer may have married second to a Juliana, who was a sp. to Johann Martin1 Fisher in 1716 at Niederbieber.  A Christian Fischer sp. Peter Scharffenstein at Niederbieber in 1720 (as did Johann Matthias Fisher in 1722) and Peter1  Althauser there in 1722.  In regard to the proper name for Johann Peter Fischer’s mother “Leys” may have been a nickname for the more formal “Elizabeth” we know her maiden name was Honnert from the 1698 sp., and it is interesting that “Leys, d/o Jacob Honnert,” sp. the bpt. Of the later arrival Peter Althauser in 1695, and that “Elizabeth, d/o Jacob Honneroth at Seg.” sp. Wilhelm Wambach’s (q.v.) Bpt. At Niederbieber in 1691! Elizabeth- w/o Johann Wilhelm Fischer at Seg. Died 9 June 1721, aged 53 years. and 6 weeks. (It is important that (Johann) Peter1 Fischer named two of his elder children “Johann Wilhelm” and “Elizabeth” - the names of the couple at Niederbieber whom I believe where indeed his parents).  It appears as if Johann Wilhelm Fischer marred second anothe Elizabeth, who died at Segendorf 16 Sept 1727, aged 56 years."

 

Hans Wilhelm Fisher/Fischer and Elizabeth Honnert had the following child:

a.         (4) Peter Fisher/Fischer.
