Misc Northampton Public records. Petition to Court of Quarter Sessions at Easton,
22 Jun 1759. Petition of inhabitants of Upper Milford Township, complaining that
a road had been laid out in the township which would cut throughtheir properties
in a "bad manner," and would ruin their lands. They want the layout reconsidered.
(signed Sebastian Truckenmiller, George Shambach, et al).
I doubt that Sebastian was married in Germany. The Catharine on the boat
is more likely a sister or cousin. Catharine would have been too young to
have gotten married, even for the 1730's. And the children didn't start in until
about 1740. Catharine, (I believe Schambach) likely married Bastian in Lehigh County.
I also suspect that the Bastian in the Rev was more likely Bastian Jr.

Will appears to give children in birth order (sons then daughters):
George, Valentine, Sebastian, Jacob
Elisabeth, Margaretha, Catharina
wife's last name? Schmuckbrucken comes from a tombstone reading, but it
doesn't seem to be a "valid" name. So what is it really? And with what basis?
Schambach[en] appears to be based on some loose ties between the families, and
a similarity to Schmuchbrucken.

Sebastian Truckenmiller came to America on the pink "John and William," of
Sunderland, Constable Tymperton, master, from Rotterdam, which qualified at
Philadelphia Oct. 17, 1732. On the original list of passengers (Pennsylvania
Archives, Vol. XVII, Second Series, pages 72-73) his name is given as Sebastian
and Bastian, and his wife's name as Catarina. In a secluded spot, in a field on
the farm of the late Jacob Nuss, at Koch's schoolhouse, in Upper Milford
township, Lehigh Co., Pa., lie the remains of this pioneer and Revolutionary war
soldier and his wife. He is called "Captain" Truckenmiller. For the benefit of
their many descendants a verbatim copy of the inscriptions on their tombstones
is herewith given:
