per JF/A History of Wilhem Best and His Descendents:
From boyhood he planned to emigrate to America and had saved some money toward the journey when he learned that the parents of the girl he planned to marry , Adam and Anna Margaret Schaeffer, were about to emigrate to America themselves. He had not planned to marry so soon, but if he didn't, Anna would have been obliged to go with her parents to America. she did not want to go without Wilhelm, and he had to earn money to make the trip. So to prevent this, they moved up the date of their marriage and then the rest of the Schaeffer family left for America. Wilhelm gave to his father in law what money he had saved toward his own trip with instructions that when Mr. Schaeffer found where he wished to settle in America, he was to buy extra land so Wilhem and Anna could settle near her family when they eventually saved enough for their own passage, plus the necessities to see them through the first year until they could clear land and raise a crop. Adam Schaeffer purchased land in Bush Co. It is said that Wilhelm's health was seriously undermined by all the hardships.
Wilhelm fought in the French and Indian War. There were less than 100 people living in Lehigh Twp when Wilhelm received official title of his land. Wilhelm and Anna worked very hard to clear the land, fell trees, and stayed up many nights to keep the wolves away until their shelter was built.
Wilhelm's land was near an old Indian trail from the North Branch of the Susquehanna River, not far from the Lehigh Gap. It led to Shamokin, an Indian town, now Sunbury, and on to what was later the site of Bethlehem and Easton, PA. Lehigh Twp suffered greatly during the Indian invasions and was virtually abandoned in 1755/56, the inhabitants seeking refuge in Bethlehem and Nazareth. A stockage was built to protect the town from Indians.
[Ref: 1761/62 tax records, Lehigh Twp]: Patent for land issued Oct 1,1748 by Thomas and Richard Penn in Bucks Co.
Wilhelm and his family were Lutherans and members of the Union Congregation of St Paul's near the village of Cherryville in Lehigh Twp, founded about 1750; it was then called Indianland Congregation at the Blue Mountains on the Lehigh.
He died without a will, and William Jr bought the land and was to pay his siblings their share within a year. However, it seems the homestead later went to his brother Henry and William Jr moved to western PA. The Best home is said to have been burned twice, once by Indians and later by the Hessians.
The Bests followed the German custom of double naming the children, with John being a favorite for the sons, Maria and Anna for the daughters. The Best families used John as the first name of all their sons for several generations although they were generally referred to by the second name.
Wilhelm and Anna had 9 children. After Wilhelm died, Anna married Peter Lobaugh and had 2 children.
