Notes - Arrived in America about 1717 with his father Johann Jacob Aister. His signature is found on a Petition for protection against the indians in 1728. On various deeds he signed his name as Johannes Aister or Oyster. It is thought he must have married his first wife about 1728, her name is unknown. He had acquired 200 acres of land in Oley Township in 1739, and later a piece of land in District Township. The District Township land became the Oyster Plantation. Johann George during his life acquired various tracts of land in different counties, all were sold after his death. The homestead passed to his son George, who died soon after his father, and it passed to the grandson George. For my records I have all children listed with his second wife, the widow Catharine Arendts. To date no one has uncovered the marriage dates of the wifes.
His father, Johann Jacob, had a 76 acre farm located beside New Hanover Lutheran Church. Johann Jacob was buried in the church cemetery on 31 March 1745.
Johan George also had a brother Christian, who married Margaret Schmeiser and moved to York County.
