East Penn Forge

Samuel Lewis 1805-1897 was the manager of the forge (and the furnace- probably Lehigh Furnace)from 1828 to 1832. (Allentown Leader 1897, p. 1)

In 1866, Peter Lesley reported that the "Pennsville" Forge had 4 forge fires (though only one was in use), 2 hammers driven by water and in 1855 made 18 tons of blooms and 27 tons of bars (Lesley 1866, 172)
