Pitcher. When he received title to the farm, house and 275 acres from his father Peter in 1768, William was already living in this house with his wife Magdalena Donsbach, five children, and probably two slaves. Six years later, William Pitcher had married a second time and had produced five more children with his brother Adam’s widow, Anna Maria Richter. The confluence of the death of his father, becoming the owner of a substantial farm, and the increased population of his household, likely spurred the first campaign of improvements to the homestead. Often, as in the case of the Christian Moore house approximately one mile away to the northwest, and in the Heermance house one mile to the northeast, the later 18th-century renovation involved adding four or five bents and an end chimney to an existing five-bent structure that already had a chimney at one gable end. The door hardware upstairs—HL hinges and the ghosts of HL hinges, and Norfolk latches—suggests that rooms were first partitioned in the late 18th or early 19th century. William Pitcher died in 1800, leaving the house to his son John W. Pitcher. The population of the household grew from nine people in 1790 to thirteen people in 1820. The combination of these factors, along with changing attitudes toward privacy and access, would have contributed to this second campaign. The last significant stylistic change to the house occurred around 1860, when Andrew Pitcher inherited the property upon the death of his father, John W. Pitcher. Plain beaded door trim and baseboard on the main floor in rooms 106 and 107 reflect the taste of that time. 34
