Meanwhile Easton had tired of village life, and resolved
to assume municipal responsibilities. The Act, incorporat-
ing the "Town of Easton" into a borough, was passed Sep-
tember 13, 1789, and in it the following persons were named
Burgesses: Peter Kachline, Henry Barnet, Jacob Wey-
gandt, William Raub and John Protsman. Peter Kach-
line was made the first Chief Burgess, Frederick Barthold,
High Constable, and Samuel Sitgreaves, Town Clerk' The
Act provides that the successors to these officers shall be
elected the first Monday in May, 1790, and be installed the
same day. They were their own " successors," and it is
their installation, one hundred years ago to-day, that we are
assembled to commemorate and celebrate.
Before we proceed, a word as to the individuals who com-
posed the first government of Easton - Peter Kachline, son
of John Peter, of Heidleburg, Germany, who settled in Bed-
minster Township, Bucks County, was living in Easton, in
1749. He raised a company for Col. Miles' regiment, and
was taken prisoner at the battle of Long Island, August 27,
1776. Lord Sterling wrote Washington that the English
General Grant was shot by one of Kachline's riflemen. The
courts and elections were held at his house, in 1755 ; he was
Sheriff in 1774, and also Commissioner and member of As-
sembly. Henry Barnet, born near Amsterdam, Holland,
the early part of last century, and died here in 1801, was in
Easton in 1780, when he was returned as the owner of one
slave. He married Susannah Shultz, also born near Am-
sterdam, aunt to Governor Shultz, and lived some time in
Bucks County, before coming to Easton. They had a fam-
ily of sons and daughters, and the late Edward Augustus
Barnet, a Commander \J. S. N., was a grandson.
