Johann Peter Bernhart, arr. Philadelphia 1741
I am seeking information on Johann Peter Bernhart, who arrived in Philadelphia on 26 Sept 1741, on the "St. Mark" from Rotterdam.With him were his wife Anna Elisabetha (Wittmer) and children Anna Elisabetha, Anna Barbara, and Johann Daniel.I am attempting to determine whether the daughter Anna Elisabetha is the Elizabeth Bernhardin, who was the wife of Johannes Diehl (b.ca.1713 and d. Jun 1793).Johannes and Elizabeth Diehl lived in Longswamp Twp., Berks Co., Penn., where their 5 children were baptized between 1744 and 1754.Their daughter Maria Elizabeth Diehl, b. 18 Oct 1748, married Philip Biery (b. ca. 1743, probably in Berks; d. 1831 in Botetourt Co., VA., where he was known as Philip Peery).Any information that would help make this link--or other information about the immigrant Johann Peter Bernhart--will be much appreciated.Thank you.
