Raised on his father's farm atHalten.  His letters indicate that his
education was somewhat better than theusual German immigrant of that
period.  It has been written that he came toAmerica to avoid
conscription, fearing that because of his size and strengthhe might be
forced to join the guards of Frederick Wilhelm of Prussia.  The guards
were all of gigantic stature.  While this may have been true, he may also
have been influenced by the fact that his older brother, Johan Heinrich
would and did inherit the farm.  The last of June, 1726, he sailed from
Holland for America via England, and arrived at New York on St. Michael's
Day, 9/29/1726.  He was accompanied by his wife, 2 oldest sons, the
younger of whom died on the voyage, and his sister, Anna Catrina, who
later married Heinrich Dierdorff.
His first job in America was probably as a weaver.  Two years afterhis
arrival, he settled on the Raritan River near Amwell, New Jersey, which
is now in Delaware Twp., Hunterdon County, NJ.  He first rented land, but
by1734 he had a farm of 105 acres.  His sister, Anna Catrina lived near
them.
After 1738, a rift developed in the church that the Fahnestocks and
Bolthousers attended.  This caused the Fahnestock family to move to
Conestoga Creeknear Ephrata in the spring of 1741.  On 1/12/1749, he
received a patent for335 acres, 2 miles from the community grounds and
1mile south of what is nowknown of Lincoln.  He sold 50 acres of it to
his brother-in-law Heinrich Dierdorff.  In 1759, he bought 400 acres on
Bermudian Creek in Manchester Twp, York County, 300 acres of which, in
1771, he equally divided between his sons,Daniel, Benjamin, and Borius.

Became a wheelwright and farmed the property at Ephrata, near his
father.  In 1753, he made a trip back to Germany to secure more learned
andable divines for the Lutheran Church.  He visited Wiesbaden and
talked the Rev. John Gleim and his family to come to Pennsylvania.  They
sailed from Wurtemberg on The John and Elizabeth, and landed in
Philadelphia 11/7/1754.  On 3/21/1786, Casper bought from John Penn, the
once famous Admiral Warren TavernPlantation, consisting of an inn and
211 acres. He took over the inn, which was then on the direct stage route
from Philadelphia to Lancaster.  His mother-in-law died there in October
of 1786.  In 1789 he turned the management of the inn over to his son,
Charles, who then passed it to his son, William, in 1834.  The inn lies
just beyond Malvern in East Whiteland Twp., in Chester County.  It was
built in 1745 and was known as the Admiral Warren Tavern until after the
Revolution.  Thereafter, it was called the General Warren Tavern.  During
the Revolution it was run by a Tory landlord and was used as a meeting
place of the Tories.  At one time the inn was considered the county seat
ofChester County.  The original tavern burned in 1831, and at once
rebuilt much as it is now.  As of 1945, because of the Lancaster
Turnpike, it is no longer on any main road, though it still operates as a
tavern.
