So far I got a Johnathan MERTZ father of Barbara and Susanna MERTZ. Barbara born about 1802 married in 1820 to Jessee BASTIAN/BOSTIAN son of the well documented George Michael BASTIAN Jr and Susanna Bollender of Northumberland CO PA. Sister of Barbara BASTIAN is Susanna MERTZ married in 1823 to Peter SIMONTON. I would like to find more data on Johnathan and his wife and his family. If you have any thing could you please share it with me I was a BOSTIAN before being Mrs STOUT. Jeanie
