      Hi Ann,
      Unfortunately, there is not too much to report. The Winders were not a part of the Broad Bay community but were included in the book because of the connections between the German Broad Bay community and several German enclaves in what was then Massachusetts.

      The Winders mentioned in the book came from Germantown which is now a neighborhood within Quincy and possibly Braintree, Massachusetts. What is written is as follows:

      ANDREAS WINDER, by 1754, Germantown

      Andrew Winder and wife Anna Maria had children:
      1. Philip Henrik Winder b 22 March 1754, bp 28 April 1754 Germantown (Quincy), MA.
      2. John Conrad Winder b 1 March 1756, bp 21 March 1756 Germantown (Quincy), MA.

      Good luck,

      Ed Kelley

      Hardwick 2140
      Hardwick,Hardwig,Hartwick,Hartwigg etc.
      The Hardwick family of Quincy, as the name is now spelled, was one of the group of Palatine Germans who emigrated to New England in 1751 and 1753. Joseph Crellius who came from Philadelphia had obtained permission from the General Court for the immigration of German Protestants to settle on land in western Massachusetts and in Maine, but he was unable to fulfil the conditions of the grant which expired in 1749 before the first group of immigrants arrived. The first group arrived in 1751 and a larger group in Sep.1752 "in a ship from Holland in which came Mr. Crellius with nearly 300 Germans, men, women, and children, some of whom are to settle at Germantown and the others in the eastern part of this province - "Tis said that near 50 children have been born on board the vessel during their passage" - Boston Weekly News -Letter, Thursday Sep.21,1752, as quoted in N.E. Hist. Gen. Register Vol.40, p.323.
      It is said that John Peter Hardwick, a glass worker, and stocking weaver came here in 1751 and was the head of the family. This is by tradition only and there is no certainty of it. His name appears but once in the records as below.
      The glass works at Germantown in 1752 soon failed and the promoter Joseph Palmer petitioned the General Court in April 1756 with others for a lottery to raise funds for the establishment of other industries and in April 1757 received permission for it and also to have his workmen exempted "from impresses and all military duty".
      2141
      In a return of the list of men to be exempted beginning February 1761 for one year are the names of John Peter Hardwig; Henry Hardwig, John Hardwig, Philip Hardwig alias Frederick Peter Hardwig, and Adam Hardwig. It is assumed that the latter were all sons of the first mentioned John Peter Hardwig (Mass. Archives 15A p.266).
      In the earliest list of members of Christ Church in 1764 only the name of Frederick Hardwig appears. Apparently the others had removed from town by that time. Some of the German colonists removed to join the group at Broad Bay, now Waldoboro, Maine and others stayed in Boston and settled there.
      According to present day descendants in Quincy the first family here was John Peter Hardwick and he is here treated as the head of the family, but nothing is known of him.

      Subject: Saur Bible
      I don;t exactly know what the Saur Bible is. I bought the book I cited, and it is a real mess of a book -- one privately published, and just a mish-mash of information. I just know that I remember someone talking about the Saur Bible on the Berks list, and then I came upon it in this book and there was the list of donors. I assumed, when I read the list, that Andreas Winder was Andreas or Andrew WINTER. I am a direct descendant of the Winter family. My Winter GG+ grandfathers were Christian and John R. I could be wrong in my assumption about Winder being Winter. It just makes sense to me, though, as names were spelled as they were said. The significance of being a donor, I guess, is just that. That those people donated the money to buy this bible, and I guess the Bible was a big deal. Below is what I have on Andrew Winter.
      1749 - Andrew Winter sponsors a baptism at Dunkle's Reformed church in Greenwich Twp., Berks Co, PA
      1790 census: Andrew Winter is in Bern Twp; household has two males 16 and over Adam Winter, near Andrew above, is in Bern Twp.
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Church: Dunkel's Church PA Greenwich Township, Berks/Schuylkill Cos, PA Baptismal records for Dunkle's Reformed Congregation in Greenwich Twp., Berks Co., PA 1746-1832 transcribed by Wm. J. HINKLE, 1929 This copy contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by Ann Rickard ARickard@compuserve.com LEIBY, Andrew, b. 2-19-1749 to George LEIBY (?) & wf. sponsor: Andrew Winter and Catherine Bisch Though the present day Belleman's Church is now in what is Centre Township, I believe in the 18th century and until about 1850, it was Bern Twp. That is why Andrew Winter's being in Bern Twp might be significant. I hope some of this is helpful -- and glad you found your Andreas Winder. Bonnie

      Andrew Winder was one of the Palatine Germans who settled at Germantown in 1752 and who remained after the failure of the glass works to work at one of the factories run by Joseph Palmer and was listed by him in Feb.1761 as an employee to be exempt from military duty by act of the General Court in 1757 as an encouragement for the manufacturers there.
