Looking through Brumbaughs History of the Brethren, I see there was a Jacob Baer (p. 308) who was baptized at Conestoga by Elder Michael Frantz in 1742. Was this the same Jacob Baer of Earl Township who immigrated with Michael Frantz on the Ship Molly in 1727? Was it the same Jacob Baer (son of Jacob) who died at Ephrata in 1768? Next I see that there was an Anna Baer (p. 309) who was baptized at Conestoga in 1747. Was she the Anna Baer who became the second wife of Mennonite Peter Brubaker of East Hempfield? Next there was Madeline Baer (p. 313) who was baptized sometime between 1755 and 1763. Was she the Magdalena Bear who married Henry Neff of Manor Township? If so, is there a relation between this Henry Neff and the Henry Neff who was elder at Cororus? I am trying to study the families of Jacob Bär (c1655- ) and, especially, the family of his son Heinrich Bär (c1695-1750). These families were Mennonite but seem to have had connections with the early Brethren in Lancaster County. Dwayne Wrightsman
