2) Josef Brandlinger "Jr" (Joseph Brendlinger "Jr"); b) Mar 21, 1738 in Ditzingen, Germany; d) Apr 5, 1825 in New Hanover, Montgomery County, PA; married Anna Rosina Lober on Dec 15, 1767 at the New Hanover Lutheran Church in Gilbertsville, Montgomery County, PA.

Anna Maria, her husband Joseph "Sr", her two stepsons, and her children with Joseph "Sr" left Germany and arrived in Philadelphia PA on October 16, 1751 having sailed on the ship named the Duke of Wirtenberg from Rotterdam, Holland.

The family arranged for transportation (horse and wagon) to an area northwest of Philadelphia that was settled by a large German population (became known as the Pennsylvania Dutch. Deutsch meaning German.) They needed a place to live and work and would be more comfortable living among people that spoke the same language. This area was at least a 2-day ride by wagon and took them to New Hanover Township in Montgomery County PA. This is where a man named Peter Lober lived, who had a large farm and was in need of hired help. Upon arriving at Peter Lober's farm, arrangements were made and Joseph "Jr" was dropped off to live and work for Peter Lober. He was only 13 years old. How long Joseph "Sr" and family stayed in the New Hanover area is unknown. At some point, Joseph "Sr" and the rest of his family moved several miles (approx 23) west and settled in Reading Township, Berks County, PA.
