BENDER: Searching for any information on the family and/or descendants of Hans Georg BENDER (1699-1767) and his first wife, Kathrina HOSTETTER (1701-1740). They came to Lancaster County from Rhineland Pfalz Wurttemberg in 1731 and settled at Bender's Mill, Chickies Creek, Donegal Township. Especially interested in their twin sons, Johann Peter (1737-1820) and Johann Henirich (1737-?). Peter married Catherine BABB and relocated to Plainfield Township, Northampton County. Heinrich married Catherine BETZ and I believe remained in Lancaster County. Other children from this first marriage included Johann Georg (1722-?) who married Maria Regina KRAEMER; Maria Magdalena (1724-?); Anna Katrina (1728/29-?) who married Hartman VERDRIESS; Johann Jacob (1740-1820) who married Elizabeth Catherine SCHAFER and relocated to Northampton County.
