The family of Johann Georg Froschauer and his wife, Catharina Graf, daughter of Hans Adam Graf, emigrated from Germany to Pennsylvania in 1732. Georg Froschauer took up land in the area owned by John Digges, mainly in present-day Adams County (originally Lancaster, then York, then Adams), comprising the areas of Germany and Conewago Townships and including the town of Littlestown on its southwestern end. There were several sons, and several variations of the surname exist today. This project is an outgrowth of, first, a newsletter that began in 1993 ("Freshour Faces"), and then a Rootsweb mailing list under the generalized surname of FRESHOUR. Anyone is welcome to participate.
