- Well before the British arrived in Germantown, Abraham Pastorius was outspoken in his Loyalist sympathies. The Green Tree Tavern owned by his parents was well known as a safe haven for several very conspicuous Tories living in Germantown. When the troubles began, Abraham was an obvious target.
- Abraham Pastorius was born October 10, 1745, the second child of Daniel and Sarah Shoemaker Pastorius. The eldest son in a family of four, one can imagine he grew up enjoying the freedoms of a full life in Germantown. Abraham was a respected citizen in comfortable circumstances at the outbreak of the Revolution, the owner of landed property which had been in the possession of the Pastorius family since 1684.
- The Loyalists of Quebec, a book published in1989 by Heritage Branch United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada, includes an excellent chapter on Abraham Pastorius, ‘The Quaker Saddler’.
