Generation 5

8. Johan George5 Anstein, born 24 Nov 1758 in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania; died 30 May 1846 in Hopewell Township, York County,  Pennsylvania, son of 10. Johan Jürg Anstein and 11.

Notes for Johan George Anstein

Jon was the first son of Hans George and Catherine that lived.  No wonder as all the traveling around and hiding that they did.

This is one of three sons of the immigrant Hans Georg Anstine who served their  country in military service during the American Revolution.    There is a  reference to George's age that differs with the 24 November 1761 date, and that  is in the records of the Faulkner's Swamp Church, whose records show a year of  1758 for his birth, which I believe to be incorrect.    To date three  individuals have filed applications for membership in the DAR/SAR as  descendants of this man. The registry numbers are NSDAR # 511,649 & # 508,544,   with my own membership #144,308 being in the SAR.       All references to this  George Anstine relating to his dates of birth and death refer to the dates as  24 November 1761 and 30 May 1846; all, that is, except the dates shown in the  records of the Falkners Swamp Lutheran Church of Montgomery County, Pa. ( where  they were all reported to have baptized ) which shows the very same day and  month for birth and death BUT three years earlier! ( 24 November 1758 and 30  May  1843 ). I can not reconcile this discrepancy, nor can I bring myself to   believe that there were two Johan Georg Anstines with the same dates three  years apart. Therefore, I am going to assume that they are one and  the same  person. And, because of the many references to 1761 & 1846, I  will subscribe  to these dates as being "more correct" than the other.    George's son John  shown could have been born after Johan Georg was discharged from the  Revolutionary Army on 16 October 1780; before Catherine on 23 May 1782;  OR he  may have been born in the period between Elizabeth in 1784 and Henry in 1791. I  think the latter is the most probable.

Last Will and Testament of George Anstine 

In the name of God, Amen. I, George Anstine of Hopewell  Township of York County and State of Pennsylvania, being weak in body but of  sound mind, memory and understanding, mar... be God for the damei and being  desirous to settle my worldly affairs whilest I have strength and capacity so  to do, do make and publish this my last will and testament hereby revoking and  making void all former wills by me at any time heretofore made; and first and  principally I commit my soul unto the hands of my Creator who gave it, and my  body to the earth to be interred in decent Christian form at the discretion of  Executor hereinafter named, and as to such worldly Estate wherewith it has  pleased God to entrust me I dispose of the same as followth;  First I desire  that all my just debts and funeral expenses be paid out of my Estate by my  Executor.    Then I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Esther me bed,  bedding and bedstead, me cow, one corner cuppoard, me chest, me falling leaf  table, me tin plate stove, me chairs, me spinning whee, and as much of my  kitchen furniture as she may think proper to keep.

Sadler's Lutheran Church 1789-1989 Stewartstown, Pennsylvania page 165 states

 "George ANSTINE, died May 30, 1816, 81? yrs, 6 mos & 6 days. (O)"

Codicil of Last Will and Testament of George Anstine is dated 3/27/1841, and therefore death is after this 3/27/1841.  On 9/28/1998 Ron Johnson determines there is wash and wear on the number one in 1816 in a photograph of George Anstine's tombstone.  During the same telephone conversation with Ron, Frank Schmuck uses deductive reasoning concluding consistent wash and wear of the tombstone erroded the left side of the number 4 erroneously indicating a 1.  Therfore 1816 is really 1846 and 81? years is really 84 years which makes the death 5/30/1846.  His birth Birth date by way of 84 yrs 6 mos & 6 days from this death date is 11/24/1758 which is confimed in Pennsylvania German Church Records Volume 2 page 147 as 11/24/1758.
