Nicholas, his brother Adam, and sons John and Jacob served in the Revolutionary War. Nicholas and Adam being landholders served as Captains in the Pennsylvania Line. John Altstatt served in the Pennsylvania Line as a private. John's Revolutionary War pension records show that he camped with Washington at the Valley Forge (left) and fought in many battles including the taking of the Hessians at Trenton.

Nicholas Altstatt (Alstott) came with his parents, Martin and Judith Altstatt to America in 1729, and settled in Berks County, Pennsylvania in 1734. The Altstatts included Squire Boone and Mordecai Lincoln as neighbors. William Boone, uncle of Daniel Boone, signed with Martin Altstatt on various legal contracts. The Boones and Lincolns were Quakers, while the Altstatt's were members of the Reform Church.

Martin Altstatt and Nicholas Alstott were naturalized at Philadelphia in the State House in 1760 (pictured left above). Judith Altstatt is buried in the old Knabb Cemetery off Limekiln Road near Reading, Pennsylvania.
