He was a native of Schisheim, in the Chapfaltz, Bavaria, Germany. Thisarea lies between Mannheim and Heidleburg. It is believed that he andhis family came to America in 1719 with a group of "Tunkers" (latertermed Dunkards or Old German Baptists) under the leadership of PeterBecker. However, some researchers believe he came here with a groupunder the leadership of Alexander Mack on the ship "Allen" in 1729. Itis believed they landed in Philadelphia, PA.
The History of the Church of the Brethren of Eastern Pennsylvania(p.163) states: "The history of the Church of the Brethren in New Jerseybegins in 1733. In the fall of that year, John Nass with four otherheads of Dunkard families, vis; Anthony Dierdorff, Jacob More, RudolphHarley and John Laushe, crossed the Delaware River into what is nowHunterdon County, NJ, and settled near Amwell, 38 miles NE ofPhiladelphia, PA, and organized the first German Baptist Church inAmerica."
He was naturalized by an Act of the New Jersey Assembly on June 8, 1740.
Anthony's will, which was written in German, on Feb. 1, 1745 lists themembers of his family. It was translated into English by ChristianGrassold on March 2, 1746. The translation follows:
"1745, Feb. 19. Dierdorff, Anthony, will of. Whereas our childrenare all begat of one father and mother, they shall have equal share inthe division. Land sowed by my children upon the old place. Wife tolive on the land where the testator there dwelt by his son, Christian, aslong as she pleases. Son, Christian bought the land with the testator,son Christian and daughter Christine. Witnesses: Hans Peter Jager,Wilhelms Wertz and Johannas Peter Lausshart.
Yet to notice that the division in money shall be as at first above,paid from the eldest to the youngest in order till they have it; now wechildren have all agreed and witness this with our own hands as follows:Hinrich Dirdorff, Peter Dirdorff, Bernardes Achen Bach, JohannesDirdorff, Anthony Dirdorff, William Ecker and Christina Dirdorff.
Done at Amwell, the 19th of Feb. 1945, in this Testament confirmed."
It is noted that Bernardes Achen Bach signed for his wife MargaretCatherine Dirdorff, and William Ecker signed for his wife Anna.
T. F. Chambers, in his Early Germans of New Jersey, says "AnthonyDierdorff, another organizer of the Amwell Church, probably emigratedfrom Dierdordn, Rhenish Prussia, Germany. He and his four sons, Peter,John, Anthony and Christian were naturalized in 1730 at Perth Amboy, NewJersey."
Family tradition says that Anthony and his family fled Germany by wayof Holland and England to escape religious persecution, and to maintaintheir beliefs in non-violence and other doctrines espoused by the"Tunkers". Anthony was an active and loyal supporter of the localcongregations in the area in which he made his home, and was a firmbeliever in all the Biblical doctrines which his faith taught. Themembers of his family followed his thinking on scriptural matters, anumber of his descendants became prominent in the church ministry. Forseveral generations, his descendants remained members of the Dunkardfaith, and many of them also became prominent in the Old German BaptistBrethren congregations throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana.
The strong aversion against the taking of human life was adhered to byseveral sects of the "Plain People" when they emigrated to America.Accordingly, they attempted to make friends with the Indiana, and afterbaptism considered them to be Brothers in Christ. Many Indians wereaccepted into membership in the various congregations. Anthony Sr. was aleader in spreading the concept of brotherly love and lived peaceablyamong the Indians in his area all during his lifetime.

He came to America in 1717 with his parents and lived in the vicinityof Germantown near Philadelphia, PA, for several years.
During the time he was living in New Jersey, he made an exploratorytrip into the wilderness of Pennsylvania beyond the Susquehanna River,looking for a good farming section where his parents could settlepermanently. He was only 17 years of age at the time, but was apparentlya skilled wilderness man who could find his way thru the dense forests,and sustain himself during his wanderings. The area thru which hetravelled was very sparsely settled, and he reported that he had foundonly two white families living in the area; one family at what is nowYork, PA, and the other in the Hanover, PA, area. He returned home,reported what he had found, then spent several years farming with hisfather.
He stayed in the Amwell, NJ, area, married there, and farmed forhimself. He decided to move back to Pennsylvania about 1762, and settledin Washington Township, York County, PA, where he cleared his lands,raised stock and grain, and reared his family. He gradually acquiredlarge holdings of choice property, and when he died he was considered tobe one of the largest landowners in Washingtown Township in York County,PA.
He and his wife were members of the "Dunkard Society" where ever theylived. He served the local congregations faithfully throughout hislifetime. He and his wife were listed among the members of the BigConewago Congregation by H. R. Holsinger in his History of the Tunkers(page 150).
He made friends with the Indians in his locality, and even thoughseverely criticized for his non-violent convictions, steadfastly refusedto take up arms against the Indians.
Anthony's will, written Jan. 12, 1800 and recorded at the Court Houseat York, PA (Will Book K-189) divided his assets equitably among all hischildren.
