Hi,
I'm searching for the same type of information, except for daughter Magdalena from his second wife.
Here's what I have so far. If you have anything else to pass along (since the posting was a couple of years ago), I'm much appreciate it! Happy family hunting!

Discussion of Germantown and
marker for (Botfried) Godfried Lehman
---------------------------------------
There is a quaintly inscribed stone covering the remains of the ancestors of the Lehman family. It was found where Charles Weiss' coal yard is now situated, and the bones with the stone were removed to this place. It
reads: "Here lieth the body of Botfried Lehman, the late owner of this ground, who was born at Putzkon, near the city of Dresden, in Saxony, in Germany, in Europe, and departed this life here in Germantown, October 4, A. D. 1756, aged 67 years, 12 month(sic) and 25 days.
I think this means that Gotfried Lehman owned the coal yard area later bought by Charles Weiss rather than cemetery property.
