BARTHOLOMAEUS BENSINGER

The small amount of information that I have gathered for Bartholomaeus Bensinger, aka Barthleme Bensinger, prompts me to enter his family into one short story. 

Barthleme was probably born about 1733 in York County, PA. His spouse, Catharina, probably was born in York County about 1737. I know of three of their children as follows:

Christina Margreth Birthdate unknown

Anna Barbara 2 Jan 1753

(Anna was baptized 25 Jan 1753 at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church in Hanover, York, PA)

Johann Heinrich 9 Nov 1759, our ancestor

Oftentimes, family historians need to at least present estimates and probable information into their recording of some of their ancestors, rather than to leave blank spaces. We are trained to analyze what records we are able to gather and attempt to present our ancestors as best we can, in the absence of available records, hoping to gain more information in the future. In the case of the Bensingers, I have Anna's baptismal record on microfilm from FamilySearch.org and much more information about Johann which was shared on my blog at an earlier time.
