Wendel Baumann, as the name of this settler is properly written, when he took up his original tract of land, consisted of 530 acres, including the 6 per cent. for road allowance. **The tract forms part of the Present Village of Lampeter and consisted in 1886 of 3 farms and 8 town lots, etc. In 1717 he took up another piece of land of 300 acres plus 6 per cent. for road allowance, along Big Beaver Creek, about 3 miles southeast of his mansion farm. This second tract was divided into 2 farms which he sold in his lifetime to John and Casper Bauman. He sold, also in his lifetime, 250 acres of his mansion place, leaving at his decease 280 acres. http://www.horseshoe.cc/pennadutch/families/bowman/bowman.htm#bfh

An inventory was filed of his real and personal estate. Administrator's account is found on file. A true and compared copy of original inventory, as the same is on file in the Registrar's Office (Lancaster County). "A Inventory made the 7th day of April, 1735, for the Plantation of Wendel Bauman, deceased, and of all other goods as followeth.

Wendel was buried a little south of his old home in the Hans Tschantz graveyard, which is located south of Lampeter and about 8 miles southwest of the City of Lancaster, Pa. His grave has no tombstone. This dilapidated ancient burying ground, set aside by Preacher Tschantz from his farm releasing all personal claim thereto in 1740, was for the use of the neighbors. It lies between two Mennonite meeting houses called Willow Street (or Brick and Strasburg, where some of the descendants of the pioneers still worship. One of their ministers, Frank M. Herr, is a descendant of Hans Herr, the bishop of this settlement and after whom it is named. Some of the early settlers including Jacob Miller, Hans Mylin and the consort of Martin Mylin, are all interred here. The earliest grave with any record on its marker is L. G. 1741. http://www.horseshoe.cc/pennadutch/families/bowman/bowman.htm#bfh
