4. Sibling's names & birth dates are from the 1850 Census of "John Barnd". In the 1830 Census, John Barndt is listed in Milford, Bucks Co. but names of family members were not given in 1830, so we have to guess. Here we see one male child age 0-5 (Philip) and two age 5-10 (John and Levi). There is also 1 female age 0-5 (Catherine, Jr.) one aged 5-10 and two aged 10-20. It is likely these three older daughters had married and moved away (or died) before the 1850 Census. Also listed is one female 30-40 (wife Catherine). In the 1860 Census, Catherine is listed as a widow living with her son Philip. In 1870 Census George is listed as a laborer.
