Hi Lois: I don't know about the Bittinger's having Indian blood. Don't know where it would have come in if they did. Henry Bittinger was born July 14, 1778. He married Barbara Bauser about 1799. She was born in July of 1772, so was about 6 years older than Henry. The Bauser's (later Bowsers) lived directly across the road from the Bittingers about 1 1/2 miles northeast of Meyersdale in Somerset County, PA.. The Bowsers were of Swiss origin. So Henry Bittinger was about 22 years of age when he married Barbara about 1799. Wayne Bittinger's book, page 15, places Henry in Somerset County in 1798 as a member of a local militia under his father's command. This was probably the period and shortly before when he was involved in skirmishes with the Indians in Ohio. In 1799, 1800, 1801, 1802, 1804, and 1806 they were living in Somerset County.

If you could talk to Bob Brenneman you'd hear the story about the Indian Connection. If you could see Bob Brenneman you'd know he had an Indian connection. Have any of you read Bittinger Book..I think it was written by Walt Warnick. Connie > Hi Lois: > > I don't know about the Bittinger's having Indian blood.
