• Notes

  admin and OC 3:155 witness to will of Jacob Zettelmeiger in 1774 (Bolaender) 1752 tax list, Greenwich (on internet) 1754 tax list, Greenwich 1756 tax list, Greenwich, (see Rupps) 1767 tax list, Greenwich, 120A, 2H, 2C, $3 1768 tax list, Greenwich, 120A, 2H, 2C, $3 1779 tax list, Greenwich, 100A, 2H, 3C, $310 (Catharine) 1780 tax list, Greenwich, 100A, $5.10.0 (Catharine) 1781 ?? 1784 tax list, Greenwich, 100A, (Catharine) 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.
