Just a thought while reading re NASS - I have an ancestor Catherina Neff b. ca 1774 - as the German ff often looks like ss - I have come across spellings of Naess, Naeff, Ness, Neff, so it's not much of a stretch to think Nass could be another version of the name. Have you looked for your Anthony under other spellings? Regards, Jan In a message dated 5/26/2008 1:55:28 P.M.

Nass also preached in Germany, according to the history in those links..... makes you wonder if he did indeed baptize Anthony, if it wasn't over in Germany. Also, be careful that it wasn't Anthony, Jr., that was baptized by Nass. That kind of information can be tricky. I've always assumed that Anthony joined the church in Germantown just after he came over (whenever that was!!), since there is no mention of Anthony before that. No one has found him in Germany before he immigrated, right? Also makes me wonder if the family changed their name when they came over. Why they would do that would be another story.....
