Hello to the group! My sister and I have been working off and on tracking our family. My Father's Sine family comes from Bucks County but seems to drop down the rabbit hole and then pop back up again. I am sure that many of you on the list feel the same way. We believe (but do not have a real confirmation) that our family came to Phila. in 1749: Name: Johannes Peter Sein, Ship: TWO BROTHERS Captain: THOMAS ARNOT Place: ROTTERDAM Date: SEPT. 14, 1749 Name: Johannes Peter Sein, Ship: TWO BROTHERS Captain: THOMAS ARNOT Place: ROTTERDAM Date: SEPT. 14, 1749 We believe he lived in Germantown for a period of time and then pops up in Bucks County church records as sponsors for family members baptisms. John Peter Sayn sponsored a baptism at Keller's church in 1751. Huber, Mary Elizabeth Dau of Jacob Huber and Elizabeth, bapt Oct 6,1751, by Rev Jacob Reiss. Witnesses were John Peter Sayn and Magdalena Diel. (Keller's Church records) And then: Peter Sine, a German, an inmate of the Alms-house admitted on March 22, 1810, died there April 2, 1820, aged 110 years born 1710. Bucks County poorhouse records for deaths also indicate a William Sine as dying October 17, 1852, aged 69 years old which means he was born in 1783 approximately. If there is anyone out there who can help us to confirm/fill-in the blanks on this branch it would be wonderful, because Petter is the one that we believe is our link to the United States from Germany, but without being able to find him and confirm info we don't feel that we can really claim him; so, still our brick wall! Thanks, Mary Anne Sine [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
