Much of what is written on Caspar Diller of New Holland, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania comes from a number of Diller Families and their oral and documented history. As a researcher and historian it's unsettling when I read family members and genealogist family histories, only to observe how cavalier they are in preserving the accuracy of their findings.
Our paper represents ongoing research into our Caspar Elias Diller II lineage in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. This is our effort to synthesize and integrate all the tangled messy information into something that can be tracked.
Many sources list Caspar Diller being born about 1670, settling in either Earltown or New Holland area of Lancaster County Pennsylvania; where at the age of almost 100 years old he died about 1771, and was buried on the family farm.
Other sources list Caspar Elias Diller born 1696, settling in Earltown or New Holland area of Lancaster County; then moving 40 miles north to present day Cleona where he died at 91 years and 5 months old, and was laid to rest in the Hill Church Cemetery.
Caspar married Anna Barbara Dornis, and they had three sons; Hans or Philip Adam Diller; Hans Martin Diller, and Caspar Diller Jr.
I added the "I" suffix to Caspar's name in order to separate him from the other Caspar Diller men. There is no evidence indicating these other Caspar Diller men were named Caspar Elias Diller.
Casper Elias Diller II (1744-1796)
-- My maternal 5th great grandparents: Casper Elias Diller II and Juliana Lang.
-- This is a research paper on Casper Elias Diller I (1696-1787), which is quite extensive.
-- This is the location of the family directory, which is quite extensive.
Caspar Elias Diller II was born 1744 to Caspar Elias Diller and Anna Barbara Dornis in the New Holland area of Lancaster County Pennsylvania. He married about 1757 to Juliana Lang, who was born in 1750 to Urbanus Lang and Catherine Blum in Lancaster county Pennsylvania.
Juliana died, and Casper married Margaret.
-- "...I have a deed in my possession, dated December 16th1769, of the sale of 336 acres of land from Caspar Diller to-his son Caspar..." In 1771 Caspar Diller lived in Lebanon, Township Lancaster, Pennsylvania where he owned 120 acres with 4 horses and 3 cattle, and paid $14.00 in taxes.
-- I believe that in the late spring of 1773 Caspar's family and his sister Margaret Diller-Keinadt's family left Millerstown, Lancaster County, for their 50 mile over land journey west to Cumberland County.
-- The 18th century road would have been nothing more than rugged drover's path, and it may have taken the families 3 days to complete their 50 mile trip.
-- Depending on the condition of the path or road, and the weather, they could have made the 50 mile trip in two full days.
We believe the two families traveled 15 miles west of Millerstown to Hummelstown, where they could have stayed the night. Once here, they could have decided to continue the next 9 miles to the Susquehanna River. It's almost certain the family stayed the night at either the Harris or Carlisle Ferry near the banks of the Susquehanna River in Paxtang Township of Lancaster County.
After crossing the Susquehanna into Cumberland County, the family would have continued their 26 mile westward journey on either Harris Ferry Road directly to Carlisle, or the Carlisle Ferry Road into southern East Pennsboro, Middleton, and onto West Pennsboro Townships.
The family arrived late in the evening of the second day in West Pennsboro Township Cumberland County, where they settled on the banks of the Yellow Breeches. This West Pennsboro is most likely present day Dickenson Township, bordering Middleton Township, Cumberland County Pennsylvania.
Caspar II and his wife, and their five children, settled on that portion of Middleton Township, which sits between Dickenson and Allen Townships on the south Cumberland County border with York County.
The Dickenson and Middleton area is where the Yellow Breeches runs through Mount Holly Springs to Boiling Springs into the southern portion of Allen Township, near Churchtown. It is this region where Caspar and Margaret Diller first settled with their families. After a few years Margret and her husband Michael Keinadt migrated into Virginia.
Caspar II was reported to be in the 4th Battalion, Lancaster County Militia, during the Revolutionary War, and which he obtained the rank of Captain.
Diller acquired about 1,000 acres of land located about one mile west of Allen in Monroe Township. This land is located today between Route 74, Route 174, Lutztown Road and Stought Road. It was in this area the Diller family built several of the homes.
In 1779 Caspar lived on a 400 acre farm, and owned 11 horses and 3 cows in Middleton Cumberland County Pennsylvania. He was still living in Middleton in 1782, when his farm grew to 457 acres, and had 4 hogs, 3 cows, and 4 sheep. By 1786 Caspar and his family continued to be living in Middleton, and by 1787 the family appears in Allen Township Cumberland County.
Caspar lived in Middleton Township Cumberland County Pennsylvania when his will was signed and witnessed on September 11th 1796, and proven on November 24th 1796.
-- Jacob Craven and Abraham Pollinger became guardians of the children who were minors: David, Benjamin, George, Solomon, and Christiana.
-- The executors of the Caspar's will were John Craven and Philip Baker, witnessed by James Duncan, Peter Fass, and Daniel Harkins.
Caspar II died at 56 years old in November 1796. He was laid to rest near the home of Anna Nell, on land that he owned. The Diller family established their burial ground in the Lutztown Cemetery lot number 14, where Caspar Diller II, Juliana and Margret were laid to rest.
-- When Paul Diller constructed his family history in 1920, there was a Phianna Nell, Anna C. Nell, and Laura May Nell living in the village of Churchtown located in Monroe Township Cumberland County Pennsylvania. Phianna was 69 years old (b. 1851), Anna was single at 47 years old (b. 1873), and Laura was single at 37 years old (b.1883).
In 1800 Caspar's wife Margaret, lived in Carlisle with her son Solomon, and two females' ages 16 to 25 years old. Most likely one was her daughter Cristina. Juliana died in 1808.
Caspar and Margaret had seven sons and five daughters. We will need to read the original will. Caspar II and his wife, and their five children came to Cumberland County Pennsylvania.

Samuel Diller was born June 18th 1811 to Casper Elias Diller III and Anna Christina Wolf in Allen Township, present day Monroe Township, near Churchtown located in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Samuel married Catherine Richwine of Cumberland County on September 4th 1828, most likely in the Diller home, and recorded at the First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Carlisle, Cumberland County Pennsylvania.
Catherine was born March 16th 1811.
By 1858 Samuel and Catherine owned three farms, which were close to each other. One of the farms was adjacent to the farms of his two brothers; Lenard and Daniel Diller, which was reachable off present day Route 174, on South Ridge Road, just outside Boiling Springs Pennsylvania.
Samuel's other two farms were probably also reachable off present day Route 74.
These two other farms were close to the farms Michael, Joseph, and Peter Diller. Also in this area were Jacob Richwine and Catherine Diller who all lived off present day Rout 74, north of Churchtown toward Carlisle Pennsylvania, just past the intersection of South Ridge and South Middlesex Roads.
Samuel and Catherine continued to prosper within the Churchtown farming community of Monroe Township Cumberland County, when on September 23rd 1867, they bought 600 hundred acres of farm land and 100 acres of mountain land from the Heikes families. The land was purchased as five tracts from; David M. Heikes; Jonas Heikes; Noah Heikes; Andrew Heikes; and Lawrence Heikes.
The land was sectioned into seven farms, which were located off present day South Mountain Road, facing the mountain and starting at Hickory Road toward Uniontown Road, and proceeding further south on mountain Road, and extending just past present day Water Street.
One of the farms was then sold to Samuel and Catherine Diller's son-in-law, Jacob M. Sollenberger, who was the husband of their daughter Mary Ann Diller.
-- This is a 1876 map that identifes the locations of family farms.
-- This photo is of two of the farms. Samuel's home is still in the Diller family.
Samuel built a church on his one farm near Dillsburg, free to ministers of all denominations, in which he frequently exhorted.

John's family, and the Diller and Sollenberger families, attended the South Mountain Union Church. The church was funded and built in 1867 by Reverend Samuel Diller, on a section of Samuel's farm. Samuel supervised the building of the church, which cost him $1,500. The church was then dedicated by Reverends Warner, Fohl, and Hunter. At the time there was church organization, but in 1868, a Sunday-school was organized, its membership was sixty-five, and G. W. Brandt was the church superintendent. Services were held in the building by clergymen of the Evangelical Association United Brethren in Christ, German Baptist and Church of God.
In 1885, John Arnold was the church superintendent; Jacob Brandt, George P. Weaver, Abraham Fleming, Samuel Yohn, and J. M. Sollenberger were the trustees.
