    Notes:

    Martin Bernheisel was her guardian (also over sister Elisabeth) (Martin was
    married to Christina Marg. Wirth abt 1760)

    I feel pretty confident that Susanna really fits into Henry's family and not the Adam Bollender
    family. It appears that Susanna married George Michael around/before 1790, when
    the family was still in Northampton County. Since Susanna had inlaws there (the
    Lilly and Wenner families), she could have been at the Stone Church. In fact, the
    baptismal sponsor to a Lilly there, (Susanna Bolarm 1788) seems to be her - there were
    no families named Bolarm or anything similar anywhere in the area (the state) at that
    time.

    Further, the timing of Adam's kids would mean that she was sandwiched in between
    two other known children with less than a year between each of the 3 births which
    would be unusual. And there are no records anywhereconnecting Susanna to
    that family. Only Fisher's speculation based on proximity.

    Floyd's History of Northumberland County states that Susanna was from Greenwich
    Twp, Berks County. He doesn't elaborate to indicate that he had found this out
    from his own research. He does discuss a descendent, living at thetime of his
    book, named Matthias D. Bastian, born in 1838 who would have known his grandmother
    who died in 1864. In fact, Mathias and his father Daniel are listed right next to Susanna's
    household in both the 1850 and 1860 census.

    It seems likely that Matthias could have confirmed the stated location of
    his grandmother's birth or even provided the information. If Floyd's account of her being
    born in Greenwich Twp is then to be believed, Henry Bollender is theonly possible
    candidate. And since he is shown to have had a daughter named Susanna, born
    at about that time (confirmation in 1785), I believe these are her parents.

    And one other way to decide which is the "right" Bollender family - two of Henrich
    Bolander's other daughters married first cousins of GM Bastian Jr: one married
    Jacob Lilly who's mother was a Wenner, and one married GM Wenner, son of
    Andreas Wenner (and GM Bastian's mother was the sister Magdalena Wenner). So it's not
    that unlikely that he could have met Susan.

    Note that in the Orphans Court records of Berks Co, 4 Mar 1785, Susanna can't
    write and signs by an X. Susanna also signs with an X on the deed of 1843,
    Northumberland County, deed DD:78 (though of course, they don't show the
    original 'X' and it would be hard to match 'X's that many years apart!)

    Susannah married George Michael BASTIAN Abt 1789, Allen Twp, Northampton Co, PA. George (son of George Michael BASTIAN and Maria Magdalena WENNER) was born 12 Mar 1769, Allen Twp, Northampton Co, PA; died 18 Feb 1845, Rockefeller Twp, Northumberland Co, PA; was buried Spruce St Cemetery, Sunbury, Northumberland Co, PA.

    sp -> 1775, George Nicholas Wenner and Anna Maria [Bollender] (at Jordan Ref Church)
    (note: Wirth daughters are d/o Jacob of Greenwich)

    I believe the fact that Henry shows up with Anna Catharina Leiby shortly before
    the birth of their first child (and Anna Catharina - having both names match -
    seems to increase the odds that it wasn't entirely by chance). And Anna Catharina
    is shown from the ship list to be just the right age. Others have believed the baptismal
    record that Anna Catharine married Jacob Faust, and then she disappeared and
    he remarried someone else. But I think the baptismal record is either recorded
    or transcribed wrong. In most of the records, they are of the form (a typical
    format) Child of Father and wf, date, Sponsors: "Person and wf"or "Single
    Person and Single Person". Since the child was named for a sponsor in other adjacent
    records at Dunkels, so here, it would be more likely to have Catharine being named after
    the sponsor Catharine Leiby and the Gerharts asthe parents. The records in my translation
    are:

    "Catharine of Jacob Faustand Catharine Leiby, bapt. December 14, 1750. Sponsors:
    Valentine Gerhart and wife."
    "John Henry of Peter Kartin and wife, bapt. November, 1751. Sponsors: John Henry
    Bollender and Anna Cath. Leiby."

    The quality of other known family names in the Dunkel's Church records also calls into
    question the quality of these records. Only a search of the originals would really show the answer. But I believe enough is shown to question the simple notion regarding Anna Catharine marrying Jacob Faust (and then showing up single in 1751 with Henry
    Bollender). This hunch really needs to find some association at least between the
    Bollender family and the Leiby's (in sponsors or something...) Until then, this is just
    speculative.

    Note - since Henry died young (46) in 1775, I wonder if it was related to the Revolutionary
    War.

    Land was worth 100 pounds... 1/3rd is the dower for widow Mary

    Note: like his son, Nicholas dies young (about 48) and I wonder if it related to the French

    From Floyd's History of Northumberland County:
    The Leiby family is of good old Berks county stock and of Swiss
    origin. Early in the eighteenth century the progenitors of the family in
    America left their native country, Switzerland, to go to South America,
    but people along the Rhine river, to which place they came in their
    journey, advised the wife not to go there. One night while they were at
    the Rhine, she entreated her husband so earnestly not to go,because
    people had told her they would forever be sorry, that he abandoned the
    trip, and so they remained for twenty years in the Rhine country, in
    Germany. In 1733 they came to America on the good ship "Samuel,"
    qualifying at Philadelphia Aug. 17, 1733. Rupp in his 30,000 names of
    immigrants gives the pioneer's name as Friederich Leiby, and the second
    series of Pennsylvania Archives, Vol. XVII, also gives the name
    Frederick Leiby; but the tax list of Greenwich township (Berks Co., Pa.)
    for 1754, published in Rupp's history of the county,gives the name as
    "Dietrich" Leiby, which probably was an error. The names Friederich and
    Dietrich might sound nearly alike to the untrained ear. Rupp in his
    30,000 names records the following: Palatines imported in the ship
    "Samuel," of London, Hugh Percy, master, from Rotterdam, last from Deal,
    males, eighty-nine above sixteen; females, eighty-six; males under
    sixteen, fifty-four; females, sixty-two; in all 291.

    It appears that Frederick Leiby died shout 1754, as the tax list
    has this item: "Frederick Leiby's Widow," and also the names of their
    children: George Michael Leiby and Jacob Leiby. The latter was assessed
    six pounds tax, and his younger brother and widowed mother each five
    pounds in 1754. The descendants of Frederick Leiby are quite numerous
    and are scattered all over Pennsylvania as well as in other States. In
    central Pennsylvania are settled several branches of this family. The
    pioneers are buried at Dunkel's church, in Greenwich township, Berks
    county, and were members of the German Reformed congregation. Willard
    D. Leiby is a grandson of David Leiby, both of whose grandfathers served
    as soldiers in the Revolutionary war. The paternal grandparents of
    David Leiby lived in Albany township, Berks county, where their son John
    J. Leiby, father of David, was born and reared. etc.
