Johan Adam Bisch to America
Looking to see if any family still in Germany.
I'm descended from a Johan Adam Bisch(Bish) who married an Elizabeth Catherine Loehr(Lohr) 0n 4/16/1766. He was 30 and a widower and she was 16. His parents may have been a Sebastion Bisch and Anna Barbra Kinder. Her father was Andreas Lohr.
Johan Adam Bisch came to America in 1776 to serve in German Regiment(Hessichre Regiment). He came to fight the colonists for the British crown but soon was fighting with the colonists against the Crown. After the war he and his family lived in now what is the York and Adams counties of Pennsylvania.
Other spellings of last name are Besch, Bisch, Bish, Biech.
German names of areas in Germany in what little info I have are as followed:
Ober Saulheim
Oppenheim
Kris, Hessen, germany
Udenheim
Neidersaulheim
Bectolsheim--where Johan Adam Bisch had lived
Blankenloch--Where Johan Adam Bisch was born
Hamm
Would like to hear from anyone who may have a connection with this man.
