this is the wife of George Bieber: the BIEBER book documents that her maiden name is unknown;
the Anna Magdalena attached to George Bieber is the wife of John George, not George.
George Bieber: From wills and deeds recorded in Berks and Chester Co. court houses and from the Lutheran church record at Dryville, Pa., and other records it is disclosed and proven that George Bieber, born in Germany, October, 1698, died June, 1775, aged 76 years and 8 months, and was the father of John Bieber, 1722-1777, the Revolutionary War soldier, who died of camp fever at Valley Forge, Chester Co., while he was serving in the American army. This George Bieber, both he and his wife Margaret, are buried at Dryvillle Lutheran church, Rockland township, Berks Co., Pa. His tombstone is found in this cemetery.
He was known by some persons in early life as “Maxatawny George’* to distinguish him from another George Bieber of about the same age, possibly a cousin, who resided in the Oley Hills. This George evidently was the John George Bieber who is mentioned in Von Arnswald’s report found in the preceding pages of this book, and may be the same John George Beaver mentioned by Rev. A. Stapleton in his “Memorials of the Huguenots in America,” published in 1901, which will also be found following Von Arnswald’s report. We mention these facts here to show that we have carefully examined all the available records before coming to our conclusion that there were two immigrant ancestors by the name of George Bieber (Beaver), and the one we are now following we shall term the “Maxatawny George.”
