In Floyd's History of Northumberland County, pg 840
BENJAMIN F. BASTIAN, of Sunbury, who carries on an up-to-date bakery on
Eckman avenue, between Line and Race streets, was born July 31, 1868, inUpper
Augusta township, Northumberland county, son of Matthias D. Bastian. Heis a
member of the fourth generation in that township, being a great-grandsonof
George Michael Bastian, who founded the family there, and from whom we give the
family record.
George Michael Bastian [Jr] was a native of Northampton county, Pa., born March
13, 1768, and died Feb. 18, 1845, in Upper Augusta township, Northumberland
county, where he had followed farming, having a 200-acretract known (and so
called in the deed) as "White Lily Garden Farm." He and his wife died on that
place, and they are buried in the old cemetery at Sunbury. Her maiden name was
Susanna Bollender, and she was born Oct. 7, 1770, in Greenwich township, Berks
county. Their children were as follows: Jesse lived in Sunbury; Peter died at
Milton, Pa.; Daniel is mentioned below; George died in Sunbury; Catharine
married John Renn and they lived in Sunbury; Christianna married Henry Conrad
and they lived in Rockefeller township; Rachel married John Sinten and they
lived at Alaska, this county; Elizabeth died unmarried, in Rockefeller; Lucy
married Jeremiah Zimmerman and died in Shamokin, Pennsylvania.
From public records in the courthouses at Sunbury and Lewisburg has been
taken the following information, which is here given not only as being of
interest in this connection, but also as it has considerable bearing upon the
spelling of the name, which seems to have been written Bastian from the time the
records begin, in 1791, with two exceptions. Both these times it was found
written Bostion, but it must be noted that on one or these two occasions the
signer made his mark.
In the year 1809 (George Michael Bastian, Jr., gave a mortgage to Lewis Dewart
and it is signed George Michael Bastian.
...
On May 10, 1819, George Michael Bastian, Jr., sold the above 176 acres to
Lewis Dewart; he signed his name in German and it is written George Michael
Bastian, and his wife Susanna Bastian signed by mark, her name being written the
same way. On the same day and year Lewis Dewart sold to George Michael Bastian
300 acresin Augusta township about three miles Southeast of Sunbury; in the
body of this deed the name is written Bastian. On May 15, 1841, George Michael
Bastian, Jr. sold to Henry Gass 76 acres of land in Augusta
