Thanks, Len, appreciate the look-up. I'm in Pennsylvania right now on a fact-finding trip. From comments that one family member made to me, I'm beginning to suspect that Elisabeth Treu's father was French, not German. Perhaps a soldier who stayed here after the war ended in 1763? I did find a George Treu in Rockland Township, Berks County, PA. There are several baptisms recorded for him in the 1760-1790 period at Christ (Mertz's) Lutheran Church, and he also was a sponsor at a baptism in Lehigh Valley (close by) in 1762. There also was a Paul Treu whose son Gideon was baptized in May, 1787 in the same church. Do you have any records of French Treu descendants in this area? Rockland Twp is adjacent to Ruscombmanor Twp, where Christian Bingemann lived. TIA, Richard
