    sp (Jacob Faust and Catharine Leiby) -> 1750 to Valentine Gerhart and wf (I think
    the records were reversed here)
    sp (Henry w/ Anna Catharine Leiby) -> 1751, Peter Kartin and wf

    sp - 1756, George Breiner, a tailor, and Anna Maria Hattinger, single (Hatinger?)
    sp- 1757, Jacob Kuntz and Anna Margaretha (note - 1756 at 1st Ref Lancaster?)
    sp - 1759, Johannes Kuntz and Maria Magdalena Wirth
    sp - 1764, Henrich Schwenk and wf Barbara [Wirth]
    sp - 1767, Henrich Rausch and Catharine, single d/o RevMischler
    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.

    Henry's admin records (original records, and Berks Gen Soc Journal, 18:1, pg 12)
    widow Catharine (1785)
    John,
    Henry, (minor)
    Anna Margaret w/o Zacharias Haller/Holler
    Anna Maria w/o George Michael Wenn
    Catharine w/o Jacob Lilly
    Magdalena since intermarried with Jacob Sander (BCGS says Sauder)
    Christina since intermarried with George Heilman
    Elizabeth and Susanna (minors)

    indicates the 180 acres was near the blue Mountain in Greenwich Township...

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

  1. 2.  Johan Nicholaus BOLANDER was born Abt 1709, Germany; died 1757, Greenwich Twp, Berks Co, PA.

    Other Events:

    • Unknown: 18 Jul 1761, Greenwich Twp, Berks Co, PA; LetAdmin
    • Unknown: 14 May 1762, Berks Co, PA; OrphanCourt
    • Immigration: 7 Nov 1741, PA ("Thane")
    • _UID: AD5CFC3A09454735B526C8195B5E1B8D261C

    Notes:

    The estate records for Nicholas Bolander suggest Henrich was the only heir.

    Orphans Court 14 May 1762: "Henry Polander eldest son and Heir of Nicholas
    Polander decd..."

    1762, inquisition: "Henry Pollander Son and Heir of Nicholas Pollander decd...
    that the Petitioner's Father the said Intestate dyed aboutfive years ago leaving a
    Widow and Issue a Son, to wit, the Petitioner...."

    men who checked land: Sebastian Zimmerman, George Merckel, Frederick
    Delaplanck, Joseph Sikfridt?, Frederick Cremer, Peter Beell, Michael Lesher,
    Leonard Reber, Jacob Hill, Daniel Allspach, and Frederick Hauer.

    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
    and Indian War going on at the time.
