Anna Barbara was killed in an Indian raid in 1756, and Georg Balthasar married a second time, to a woman named Elizabeth. He died in Berks Co. PA, where his will was probated in January 1788. Three of the sons of the first marriage, Martin, Peter, and John George, all came south about 1773. Their wives were sisters, daughters of Felix Clodfelter (Glattfelder) and Maria Sarah Meyer. Martin probably married before the trip, John George probably not until after they reached NC. <P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Children of Georg Balthasar Neufang and Anna Barbara Bushling<BR> Martin Jesse Neufang (bef. 1745-1775) m.
