Note: The Bieber plantation was located midway between Pleasantville and Lobachsville, about 1.5 miles from each. At the time of death of William Bieber in 1878 there were 200 acres and William was very wealthy. The property was distributed to nephews and nieces as he was a bachelor.

Johannes Jr does not appear to be one of his sons. Actually, the Johannes Bieber that died in Revolutionary war at Valley Forge was son of Johnannes Conrad Bieber (1695-1748) and Anna Magdalena Hegel 1735-1769. At least that is what I show. Very possible that he (Johannes Jr) also came on the ship friendship. And that Conrad related to Theobold.
