Dwyane. Have you seen the article in Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage vol 22 no 1 pp 26-36? Its title is Bear Saga Update; Part Three, and It was written by Jane Evans Best. I have the article because it contains a reference to Hans Heinrich Bar obtaining land in Earl Township from my ancestor Peter Beller, but I know nothing about the Bar/Bear family.
