  • Notes 
    • 1985 Biographical Sketch: [494] "A source of proof of Barbara Steele's ancestry is found in the will of Johannes Schlieffer. Johannes was the immigrant ancestor who was naturalized in Philadelphia in 1729. [495] His will was written: . . . the fifth day of May in the seventh year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the third by the Grace of God King of Great Britain France Ireland King Defender of the Faith Anno Domini One thousand seven hundred and sixty seven. [493]

      At the time he made this will he lived in Springfield township in Bucks County. However, in his will he asked that after his death the Executors ' . . . shall sell my land and grist mill situate and lying and being in the Township of upper Saccon in the County of Northampton . . . " He must have been a neighbor of the John George Bachmans.

      In his will Johannes named his wife, Barbara Schlieffer and his children: namely, John, Jacob, Abraham, David, Henry, Samuel, Barbara, Elizabeth, and Catherine. The information of value to this study was that he also named '. . . Barbara Steele the only daughter and child of my eldest daughter Mary deceased ... '

      From this will of Johannes Schlieffer we have determined that Barbara Steele's mother's name was Mary Schlieffer; grandmother, Barbara Schlieffer; and her grandfather, Johannes Schlieffer."
