    1. PHILIP and JOHN RENN / BASTIAN
    2. Jeanie Stout
    3. I have an ancestor and I can not find any thing on her except what is in her fathers Will and in Floyd's history book. She was Catherine BASTIAN/ BOSTIAN was suppose to be married to a RENN maybe a John RENN . She was born in early 1800's daughter of George Michael BASTIAN and Susanna Bollender BASTIAN. They live just out side of Sunbury in Augusta TWP or Upper Augusta . I do not know were Catherine is buried. I have no birth or no death date and no children. She had a spinster sister who inherits a small estate Elisabeth BASTIAN who stays with her family and mother until her mothers death some time after 1860. I do not have a death date for her mother Susannah BASTIAN who is buried in WM Penns on Spruce street we believe. It gets interesting in 1860 Elizabeth with her mother has no estate of her own. 1870 with Philip RENN not married she still has no Estate in the census records. Her mother dies after 1860 and in 1870 Elizabeth with no Estate is living with 68 year old Philip RENN who is not married in 1860 or 1870 in Upper Augusta TWP Northumberland CO PA. Elizabeth BASTIAN dies in 1876. I am wondering if Philip RENN is not the same John RENN Brother in-law. WILL February 18, 1845 death of Micheal George BOSTION Elisabeth Bostion, I order and direct my executors to pay her the sum of Fifty dollars more than any of my other children her before named, and also one good bed and bedding and Bedstead [Bedding?] and one good Bureau and six Windsor Chairs for her only use. Thank you for any light you can shed on these women. Jeanie
