I was wondering when you would track me down--in fact I was going to respond to one of your queries because we seem to be after the same line.I have lots of theories and circumstantial evidence and have just uncovered some new info. on Georg/Jorg Bittle whom I feel strongly is the father of George Michael Bittle. I have a copy of the will, as do you, of Georg/Jorg Bittle who died in York (now Adams) Co., PA around Jan./Feb. 1779 and lists a wife and children Andrew, Salome, Eve, Margaret, Susannah, John Thomas and George Michael.I have tried to find George's wife and a baptismal record for George Michael and feel I may have just done so.In a book of Berks Co, PA Births there is listed in the records of the personal register of Daniel Schomacher the following names:Anna Margaretha Buttell 14 Oct 1764 Father: Jorg Mother: Anna Barbara and Jorg Michaell Buttell bp. 23 Dec. 1760 Father: Jorg Mother: Barbara.I know that George was born Sept.29, 1759 and he had a sister Margaret so this is within the realm of possibility. I also know the Bittles were affiliated with St. John's church at Littlestown, PA, but have found nothing in the church's records.I have found, though, in the records of Saint Mary's Lutheran Church in Silver Run, Carroll Co, MD records of Thomas and listed as one of those who received communion in 1783 was a Barb. Bittler, widow and in June 1784 is listed as receiving communion an An. Barb. Bittlerin, widow and a Marg. Bittlin, single.Anna Barbara would have been a widow at this point and if this Margaret is George Michael's sister and she was born in 1764 then she would have been 19 and probably still single.Strong circumstantial evidence, don't you think?I have to check the deeds of York/Adams Co. to see when George first showed up there and visit the cemetery at Silver Run to try and locate a grave for Anna Barbara Bittle/Buttel/Bittler.Also I believe Andrew Bittle and Andrew Biddle are the same.Andrew I believe was the oldest son of Georg and may have been old enough to be listed in the Phoenix's log.I have a deed for him and George Michael in the land records of Fred. Co., MD where they both bought land and had it recorded the same day, Andrew's deed appeared first and George's was recorded immediately following his.I know Andrew married a Cover and moved to PA and his descendants all spell their name Biddle.This is where I'm at so far.I have other documentation and details but too many to give here.I do have one question for you--are you related to the Robert D. Bittle who wrote a book called "Our Ancestral Roots."If so it may interest you to know that I live on a farm on Turkey Hill you may be familiar with.
