Annotation added: Henry Feaster [1], my 5-greats grandfather, obtained a Warrantee of Land in Berks County (85 Acres, Date of Survey: Sept. 18, 1792) under his father's name, Feister, as it appeared on the ship's passenger list in 1752. In the 1780s, he paid taxes and was later married under the angelicized spelling. This is his only known use of Feister. The original German spelling probably had a silent 'P' as Pfeister appears on several ship's passenger lists. See pages iii, v and 262.

Annotation added: Henry Feaster [1], my 5-greats grandfather, was a son of Johan Ludwig Feister who immigrated to Pennsylvania from Germany in 1752. Henry paid property taxes and was married in Bucks County under the angelicized spelling. This Berks County Warrantee of Land is his only known use of his father's name as it appeared on the ship's passenger list. It is probable that the original German spelling contained a silent 'P' as the name Pfeister appears on several 18th century ship's passenger lists.
