  3. Anna Catharine Bastian (1759 - 1824)
  4. Johann Philip Bastian (1760 - 1837)

Research Notes

Lehigh County history states: "He and his wife, Magdalena, had children, Catharine, born 1759: Philip, born 1760, and David, born 1761.".[1] Her FamilySearch profile also only contains source links to those three.[2]

The children born in North Carolina instead of Pennsylvania, are not mentioned there and therefor remain unsourced for the moment.

Hi there,

half of the children do not fit, e.g. son Andreas according to FS is son of Michael and Margarethe.

Kind regards from Black Forest

I agree that the birth date and location do not seem possible as the family would have still been in Pennsylvania, but the FS tree that I found places him (with unknown birth date) as a member of Andrew And Magdalena's family. See https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LCDS-8Z8

That tree doesn't state any sources as parents. I've found this nice private website about the family, which has another version of Andrew's family tree at the site. It shows some more source statements that can be analyzed and put into this profile.

UNKNOWN-61231 and Unknown-115 do not represent the same person because: I am trying to sort these out. They are not the same person. Unknown-115 is Mary Magdalena Sebastian and I have corrected her profile. Unknown-61231 is someone else whom I will ultimately track down but haven't time today
