    3. I am trying to trace the descendants of Johann Georg Friedrich Friess. They reportedly settled in Bucks and Mongtomery Counties and Union County. Here's what I know so far: Johann Georg and his wife Anna Elizabetha nee Hirsch were both born in the area of Wolfstein, Germany. They came to this country in 1754 and Georg is found on the passenger list of the ship "Phoenix" on 10-1-1754 from Rotterdam. German records show one child with the initial N. No other information. We know that their other children were Jacob b. 1755 (married Christiana), Maria (who married a Hoffman) b. unknown, and Charlotta b. 23 June 1770. Jacob and Charlotta were both born in Montgomery County, and I assume Maria was as well. The children are said to have moved to and settled in Bucks County and Union County. We know that Jacob and his wife were living in Doylestown, about halfway between Philadelphia and Allentown in 1789. If anyone is a descendant (Perhaps the Hoffman line in the case of Maria) or if you have seen any records that will help, I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks Ray Friess
