Christopher German was next neighbour west of the Bogarts in the fourth concession, north of Hay Bay. He was a soldier of the Loyal Rangers during the war. He reared a large family, all of whom did well.

He was a Methodist local preacher, and a trustee of the first Methodist church. Two of his sons, Mathew and Peter, were prominent and popular local preachers sixty years ago.

The Rev. John W. German, of Berlin, now a superannuated Methodist minister, is a grandson.

Rev. J.F. German, D.D., now of Elm St. church, Toronto, is one of his descendants. Others of them are numerous in Prince Edward County and elsewhere , but none of the name now remain in Adolphustown. He died and was buried where he first settled. He never too an active part in municipal or political affairs, but was the most prominent man in his locality in church matters. The old homestead remained in the hands of some member of the family until quite recently, and the farm was one of the best and most valuable in the township.
