I am posting this message because I have been noticing a number of discrepancies with some of the immediate descendants of Wendel Bauman 1681. First, concerning the parents of Jacob Bauman 1722. Some folks have him as the son of Wendel Bauman, and some as the son of Christian Bauman 17OO (one person has his birth date as 1702). I believe that the latter is correct. The confusion seems to arise due to the fact that Wendel did have a son Jacob, but he was born in 1701, not 1722. Has anyone else noticed this discepancy in their travels around various genealogical sites? I'm surprised that no one else seems to have noticed this and commented on it. I would be interested in anyone's reaction. I notice another discrepancy, with the same cause. Some people denote Jacob Bauman 1722 as "Nimrod" and others have Jacob Bauman 1701 as "Nimrod". I think the latter is correct. I got my information from "THE REM0VAL OF WENDELL BAUMAN'S SON'S CHRISTIAN, PETER AND JACOB, TO BERKS COUNTY" (The following nearly all written by H. M. Bowman) "...The movement of the three Bowmann brothers in the forties carried the settled border across this line into Berks. The pioneer of this movement into Berks was the youngest of the three brothers, Jacob. He was the Nimrod of the Pequea country, a great hunter and fisher..." There is yet another discrepancy. The death date for Christian Bauman 1700 (1702?) is commonly 1735 (although somewhere I have seen 1790, but I've lost my source) But if he died in 1735, how could he be pushing into Berks County with his two brothers "in the forties"? This is particularly puzzling to me. Questions and confusions!!! Any comments? Peter Light ______________________
