Valentin Bruckmann, weaver by occupation, was a very close friend of Hildebrnad. Not only was he a witness to Hildebrand's will, but he also sang at Hildebrand's funeral. After the sudden exodus in 1764, Valentin forever abandoned the idea of returning to Sandy Hook. He sold his house there to Samuel Eckerlin and soon drifted away from Ephrata.
