Tony,
I have an extensive listing of research on Johan Heinrich (Henry) Weidner and his descendents including the memorial papers. But ironically I do not have much on Catherine Weidner Bollinger. My stuff just says, I have an extensive account on her father John (Shooting Match) or (Shouting Match) Weidner, his 2 wives (1) Polly Mull and their children, (2) Polly Miller and children, Miller was Catherine's mother.

Legion Bollingerwas a stepson of Jacob Sebach in Lincoln Co., Who was from York/Lancaster Co., PA.
Jacob Sebach was in NC by 1783, b about 1755. All I know about the family is that in his will (abstract is all I have) is that he names two children: Jacob and Peter( who listed on the 1860 Lincoln Co. Census age 78,) that he was b. in York Co., PA (1782); His step children: Lionder (also called Legion), Christian, Susannah and Anna Mary Bollinger; and his two youngest, John and Margaret Sebach.
Others listed were: Catherine, Joseph, George, Magdalina,and Elizabeth.

Good morning! I am looking for Bollingerfamily members. I have a Salina Delilah Bollingerwho married John H. Mashburn after the Civil War in Missouri, Hickory or Polk County. Her father was Wright M. Bollinger, and a brother and grandfather were named Jacob Bollinger. Wright was married to Sarah Ann McSwain. Wright was born in Ky. Salina was born Feb 5, 1853 at Elkton, MO. Do you have any of these people in your information?

Tony -- got a good message beside's your information. It was from Sharon Martin of Chambersburg, Pa. She is another part of the family along with Effie Grote. Sharon has been doing Bollingerresearch for about 15 years and has traced them through York County down to Baltimore and back. She even has the pocketbook of Frederick Bollinger, pictures and other things including furniture. We are going to meet on the 18^th of June in Youngstown, Pa. get acquainted and share information. Sharon says she has tons of information, as well as Effie. I will get back to you, but in case I should forget or lose your address--no I have copied it and printed out the e-mail. Thanks for the info -- Take care
There is a Bollingerreunion the 12th of July near Greensburg. Sharon mentioned it -- might just go.
Tony -- glad you wrote since my memory gets hazy about who I have communicated with.  I have learned a lot since last spring when I started this whole venture. 
Sharon Martin had researched the Joseph Bollingerline for 18 years, so she had a lot of information. 
David Blocher in Washington, Pat Self in Indiana, and Martha Knaggs in Texas. 
I do not understand how the Bollingers spent time side by side in York Co., and were not related.  I have not found the time yet.  GEDCOM file has 7300 names on it right now.
Tony -- the file downloaded just fine and is in the format to look at it now under Family Tree Maker.  If we can make any connection ever between these lines, I have three more files from cousins of Bollingers who are descendants of Isaac Bollingerwho went to Darke Co., OH.

Grayson & Vivian Aldridge of Sidney L. BollingerLine
haldridge@juno.com (Hubert G Aldridge)
It began years ago when we met in Washington DC in 1951 where my husband was working for the government and I was working as a secretary. We married in 1955. Grayson, my husband, became seriously interested in electronics, and after 4 years in the Air Force (thanks to the Korean conflict) we decided the best thing for us was for him to attend college while I continued working. He graduated as an electrical engineer in 1962. Upon his graduation I immediately quit gainful employment and to raise our family. Notice I did not say quit "WORK". Somehow dirty diapers, crying babies and 2:00 a.m. feedings don't describe "leisure time". Most of his career was in Maryland in computer circuit design and computer related work.
Our other use is, as you probably suspected, is related to genealogy. We are tracing our roots in every direction possible and recording this on the computer for our children and future generations. Our love of travel works well with this. We have visited several cities, spent hours in libraries, cemeteries and talked with any friend or relative that had information to share. We want to visit Pennsylvania this spring. All of my ancestors on both my mother and my dad's side came first to Pennsylvania then on to NC. I found it very interesting that both the Cannons and the Bollingers came from Switzerland. I have a book written by a Cannon relative that traced them back to 1532.
We really hit the big jackpot on my dad's side and traced them back to the 900s. It didn't feel too good to know that some of my relatives were murderers and others were slave owners. Salt Lake City is where I found the information on my dad's side. We hope to go back to Salt Lake in 1998. Travel in 1996 was curtailed due to the expense and upheaval of moving to Tennessee November 1995. We really love it here.

I need as much info on this two individuals, their spouses, and their ancestors.  I don't have anything on the two Bollingers.  I do know that Michael Vance Bollingermarried Minerva Katherine Workman (I don't have any info on the Workman side).  They had Pearl Elizabeth who was my Grandmother's mother.  Pearl was born 21 Aug 1887 and died 15 Aug 1973.  My Grandmother is still living in Richmond, VA.  Anna or Ann Bollingermarried John D or J Bowman who had Guilford Urias Bowman, born 25 Mar 1843 in Catawba Co, NC.  Guilford married Nancy Caroline Starr c 1877 and had Henry Sylvanus Bowman, born 11 Oct 1880 and died 25 Mar 1961.  Henry married Pearl Elizabeth Bollingeron 25 Mar 1908.  Thanks
I have a few questions. 
1.  Where did Henry Bowman come from in the US; PA or somewhere else.  I assume he or earlier generations came from Scotland. 
2. Also any info on Betsey Bolick.  I have a copy of "A History of Catawba County", 1954 and it has a lot of Bolick (Bolch) in it.
3.  Any info on the Bollingerline would be appreciated including Killian's.  All the info on my grandmother, Helen Catherine Bowman, is correct  except she was born in Chase City, Mecklenberg Co, VA.  All the other data on her brothers/sisters is correct. 

4. Where did you get all this info, ie a book, etc. 

Hi, Al I want to pass on what I have found. You sent me in Jul a 55 page file on Christian Bollinger. I don't know if you have who his parents were but I think I may have found them. Don Hensel of NJ sent me the following:
According to the manuscript on the descendents of RUDOLF BOLLINGERb c 1700 in Canton Sanky, Switzerland, he and wife Catherine had 10 kids:

He goes on to say that CHRISTIAN had no record of marriage but left to his kids in will dated 30 Jan 1796. Later church records reveal 3 children:
Abraham b 27 Jan 1761
Christiana b 3 Nov 1762
CHRISTIAN Jr b 3 Dec 1765
What do you think? Could Christian's father be Christian whos father was Rudolf? Also don't I owe you some info on the SHUFORD's, etc. Kyle Hutchison

Lyle LeMasters lylemast@ix.netcom.com
My name is Lyle LeMasters. I am looking for a Barbara Bollingerborn 1769 in Glenville,York Co., PA the daughter of Isaac Bollinger. If you know of this line and relatives I would appreciate the info and will

My name is Glen Summit and was hoping to find out more information on the Bollingerline. My great-great-great grandfather is Michael Bollinger, he was a farmer in Hickory Tavern Township and was born about 1815; he married a Catherine Whitner and had a son named Henry S Bollinger.

Kyle Hutchison; in the message he indicated to me that Polly, the 2nd wife of Henry L, was Henry's first cousin. He said he got this information from a 54-page text document that you forwarded to him. Could you confirm this for me. He said that Henry's father and Polly's father (Michael and Levi) were both brothers. He also said that in your document there was a wealth of info on Henry's involvement in the Civil War. Would it be possible, by chance, to get a copy of this document. I would pay for all copying or mailing fees. Or if the document is a Microsft Word document you could attach to an e-mail and send it to my alternative address below, not the WEBTV address. Please let me know if this is ok with you.
I also noticed you had information in your email supplied by my great-aunt Maudella (Summit) Shuping. She did pass away, last year, I beleive. She was one of the last of my grandfathers siblings. Years ago she forwarded me a transcription of an old Summit Bible, which mentioned some Bollingerinfo. In it she verified that Dora Bollingerwas the daughter of Henry and Polly Bollingerof Catawba County, but she never pointed out that Polly's maiden name was Bollingerto me. She also said she remembered that Henry and Polly (in addition to Laura Dora) had sons named Raymond and John and a daughter who married a Punch.
Dora Bollingermarried Alexander Commodore Summit on Nov 10, 1894; She was born Feb 13, 1876 and died Feb 11, 1953. He was born March 1, 1876 and died Aug 31, 1965. They are both buried at Mt Rahama Baptist Church in Catawba Co.
Please let me know about the document you have, I would like to read more on the Bollingers. Also I have a photocopy of an original land deed (not a transcription) from Henry Bullinger to Henry Huit, dated 1789. Apparently one of the Huits married a Summit and part of the land is still owned by a distant cousin of mine. Interesting. Would you like to have a copy of it. Let me know your mailing address and I will send it out. Thanks Again for all your help,
Glen

My wife is descended from the original immigrant through two of his sons. we have not pursued this line as actively as some others. Here is what we have:

"-The Bollingerfamily originated in and is named for the small village of Bollingen in Canton St. Gallen, CHE. Rudolph, the first immigrant, is believed to have come from the Palatinate in 1720. Settled at Cocalico on Conestoga Creek, Lancaster Co., PA. Joined the Connestoga Congregation of German Baptist Brethren in 1734. Had 10 children."

2a. Abraham BOLLINGERb 1746; d 1814; married Magdalena NAIS
3a. Isaac BOLLINGERb 12 Oct 1787 PA; d 24 Aug 1861 PA; married Anna BLOCHER
4a. Catherine (Katie) BOLLINGERb 11 Jan 1822 PA;d 1867 IN; married Daniel BLOCHER

3b. Maria BOLLINGERb 2 May 1782; d 23 Jan 1847 PA; married Jacob MOHLER


We do not have the name "Legion Bollinger" on our list, but that does not mean it might not be part of this line. We DO have several "Christian Bollingers" but cannot ascertain whether any of them might be the correct one, since our own information is somewhat incomplete.
Do you have anything else that would indicate whether or not there might be a link?

I'm interested in the ancestory of Anna Elizabeth Bollinger, who married Rudolf Robert Peter. She was born 14 sep 1855 in Turbenthal, Switzerland to Johannes Bollingerand Anna Barbara Egli. I am currently looking for Isaac Bollinger, whom I'm sure belongs to the York County family. His daughter was Mary Bollinger, b. 1804/05 in PA and died Jun.25,1886 in Paulding Co., PA; she married Thomas Gibson, b.1803, Mifflin Co., PA

The files you sent were wonderful. Thank you so much.
I am sending a gif (I zipped the file. If this is a problem please let me know) of my g-grandfather George Felton Bollinger(b. March 16, 1873 d. Dec. 6, 1941) with from l. to r. my grandmother Clara Blanche, George Felton, g-grandmother Lola Mae Frye Bollinger(b. May 15, 1878 d. May 13, 1959), on lap Charles Albert and George Lee. I don't know when the picture was taken but my grandmother looks about 4 or 5. I found a note written by my father (William Dennis Martin, Sr.) that states that "stepfather raised grandpa" with the names of great grandfather and great grandmother Sigmon and their children. I can only assume that he was talking about George Felton.
Children of George Felton and Lola Mae:
George Lee b. May 15, 1878 d. May 13, 1959
Clara Blanche b. March 30, 1899 d. Nov. 1, 1982 (married John W. Martin)
Sara Ola b. April 5, 1901 d. Feb. 10, 1902
Charles Albert b. May 1, 1903 d. July 15, 1966
Mary Catherine b. Feb. 9, 1906 (Thorneburg) don't have death date
Hazel Mae b. March 27, 1911 (Wilkinson) lived in Ohio-don't have death date
Ruby Irene b. Nov. 19, 1914 (Harris) don't have death date
Floyd Andrew b. Feb. 11, 1917 don't have death date
Kenneth Felton b. Jan. 10, 1921 still living
There are many Bollingerchildren from these and most still live around Hickory and Newton, NC.
I don't know much about my grandmother Clara and John's (He was called Willie.) life together. He died suddenly when my father was still a teenager. I believe he was 15 or more years older than my grandmother. My father, who is deceased, loved his father very much. I remember him saying that he was very good to the children and a very hard worker.
Children of John and Clara Blanche:
William Dennis b. Oct. 1919 d. Aug. 1990 (Mamie Willis)
Clarence Felton b. Feb. 26, 1925
Dorothy Lucille b. Feb. 15, 1992 (Cassada)
If some other unsuspecting Bollingerdecendent contacts you you'll have a little more information about this line. I just found out that my father's cousin Cyril Thornburg, who lives close to Hickory, has more
information and I intend to contact him to fill in some holes. For instance, what happened to Sara Bolch?
Once again, thank you so much for your help.

In 1850 census, Baltimore County MD, I was ecstatic to find Mathias was living with Elizabeth (whom I presume was wife Elizabeth Wentz), in the home of (I presume his daughter) Mary (Polly) Bollinger(b. 1795-1804) and Jacob Grim (b. 1791). Ecstatic because it's usually SO HARD to find the parents of wives!!!
Yes, Joseph is the Immigrants (along with his brother Henry, and widowed Mother),but I don't have the Immigrant date, or their ship.  This entry is vague.
