• 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!)
