I don't have anything direct for you, but have another "temporarily dead-ended" ancestor that might bring another piece to the puzzle. I have a SOPHIA RENNER born 19 February 1739or1740, who married a DANIEL BUSSARD on 5 March 1760. I have reason to believe that BUSSARD started out in *Virginia* (maybe born in Germany first) but then they ended up in Bedford County, Pa. I've had no success in finding anything else out about Sophia....but Renner's not that common, so maybe there is a clue here somewhere? After all, your William and my Sophia appear to be likely the right ages to be brother and sister, no? - Jeff the almost clueless Rinscheid copy to two of my cousins who are also researching.... ==== PENNA-DUTCH Mailing List ==== Haven't found a post of interest?
