[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."
