This
page is devoted to the history and genealogy of the BOLENDER-BOLANDER-BOLINGER
family. I will include information on all lines of these surnames,
as well as any spellings. If other researchers would like to submit information
on their lines, I would be happy to include it here.
My mother, Evelyn
Mae Granger, was the daughter of George Harvey Granger and Bertha Mae
BOLINGER. Bertha's grandfather, Noah BOLANDER, changed his name to
BOLINGER sometime after June 18, 1855 when he married Tillitha C. MARTIN
in Vigo Co., Indiana, and before the 1860 Vigo Co., Indiana federal
census.
As part of this
web site, I am including Family Pages for my MORTON, BURNETT and
BRADFORD lines - ancestors of my
great-grandmother, Gabriella (MORTON) BOLINGER.
History
The following is a summary of what I believe to be correct about
the early Bolender or Bolander family. I have used the sources noted
at the end. I am always open to changes, so please let me know if you
find errors or additions - with the documentation you have used. For
those of you who are just beginning your research on this family, this history
is not meant to be a primary source for your data. Hopefully, it will
be of interest and a good starting point.
Stephen Bolender,
born in Berks Co., Pennsylvania on October 09, 1756, was the son of
Peter and Maria Barbara Bolender. Peter was an emigrant from the Rhine
Valley of Germany, seeking freedom in America from religious persecutions
and "ravages of monarchy so common in the sixteenth century"
1.
Phillip Carl Schenckel was born at Edenkoben, Bavaria, Germany.
He married Maria Elisabetha Zimpel on June 29, 1745 in Bavaria, Germany.
They came to America from Edenkoben on the ship, "Snow Ketty" , arriving in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 16, 1752, settling in Lancaster Co.,
Pennsylvania. The Schenckels moved to Brown Co., Ohio in 1805, and
settled in the Bullskin Settlement, east of Felicity. This part of
Clermont Co. became Lewis Twp, Brown Co. about 1818. He was a farmer
and a German Baptist Brethren preacher, referred to as Dunkards.
Stephen married first Margreta (Peggy) Schenckel, daughter of Phillip
Carl Schenkel, on August 29, 1779 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. They
had seven sons and three daughters: Catherine, Barbara, Peter, Henry,
John, Jacob, Elizabeth, Christian, Stephen, and Joseph. They moved
from Berks Co., Penn. to Ohio in 1800, landing at Boude's Ferry in Brown
Co. Stephen bought one thousand acres of land on Bullskin Creek in
Clermont Co. They lived near Feesburg, in Lewis Township, Brown Co.,
where both Stephen and Peggy were blacksmiths. Stephen was also a farmer
and a Dunkard preacher. Peggy died January 10, 1804 in Boude's Ferry.
On August 19, 1813 in Clermont Co., Ohio, Stephen married Mrs. Elizabeth
(Betsy) Kellam Fetterman. They had two sons and three daughters: Daniel,
William Henry, Margaret, Julia Ann, and Mary A.
Some of the Bolender-Shinkle-Kellum families stayed in Brown
and Clermont counties, some moved to other areas of Ohio, and others moved
on to Indiana and Illinois. Some of the allied surnames of these early
families are: Waldschmidt, Judd, Hoss, Jeffers, Yeatts, Hancock, Matthews,
Fuller, Apple, and Wood.

Grove, Clermont Co., Ohio, sent to me by Merrill Bolender.
