Commonly called "The old Hollander", died on the 12th or 13th, and was buried near the Church used by Calvinist and Lutherans, above Goshenhoppen. The Year is not known, but since this entry was made between two entries dated 1766, on can then infer that the year date was 1766.

One of the earliest Catholic settlers in present day Montgomery County was Henry Bisbing (Pisbink), his son Henry Jr. and their families. They had located in the upper end of the country prior to 1734, and the senior Bisbing's death is one of the three recorded by Father Schneider, though he gives no year of the death. In the 1740's the Staab and Beverts families, for whom there are numerous entries in the registers, also lived in this section of Montgomery County, then Philadelphia County. (MBSC-book, page 53)
