INDEX

[2597] A "G. Michael Breiner" arrived on the Ship Rowley from Rotterdam at Philadelphia (he is listed then as age 20), and qualified at the Philadelphia Court House 23 Oct 1752 - - see "Pennsylvania German Pioneers...," Ralph Beaver Srassburger (Camden, ME: Picton Press, 1992), I:499. There are Briner/Bryner families listed in "Swiss Colonists in 19th Century America," compiled by Dr. Adelrich Steinach (Rockport, ME: Picton Press, 1995 - updated from 1889 edition) - AEM has not consulted this volume. Our George Michael Breiner settled in Albany Twp. - the Albany Twp. Historical Society may be reached (1999) via email at albanyhis@enter.net. He is listed in the Northampton County (from which Lehigh County was taken) tax roll of 1772 as a farmer whose tax was 1.12.0 (PA Archives, Series 3, Vol. 19, p. 57). He is DAR Patriot A131874 with the name George Michael Bryner. Service: PENNSYLVANIA Rank(s): PATRIOTIC SERVICEAEM's supplemental line as a member of the Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR 73197) proves descent from him and shows his service in the War for Independence; for example, he was at the battle of Stony Point (http://www2.lhric.org/spbattle/walk.htm and "Military History Quarterly: The Quarterly Journal of Military History", Fall 2003). For insight into what service in the War for Independence was like for George Michael Breiner, see "A People's History of the American Revolution," Ray Raphael (New York: The New Press, 2001 - ISBN 0-06-000440-1), Chapters 1 & 2. Ancestry.com suggests the meaning of the surname: "German (also well established in Sweden and Denmark): occupational name for a cereal grower, from a derivative of Middle High German brie ‘porridge’, ‘mush’."

"History of Butler County Pennsylvania" (Chicago: Waterman, Watkins, & Co., 1883), Chapter 40 -- Fairview Township: "Peter Thorn and his wife Elizabeth (Byers) settled in 1871 on the farm where John Thorn now lives. Mr. Thorn was a son of John Thorn, who settled near Greece City quite early. He was born [p. 371] in Westmoreland County and was thirteen years of age when his parents came to this county. Peter Thorn died in 1855, aged sixty-three. He was the father of five sons and three daughters; four sons and two daughters are still living. At the time this family settled here, most of the land was unimproved and settlers were few." (The ancestry of Susan Thorn in OneWorldTree on Ancestry.com is not verified.)
