Bollinger Family Cemetary
Joseph Bollinger The Widow Bollinger(Catherine) remarried after settling in America, she was wed to Johannes Heinrich LaMotte who had immigrated in 1740 on the ship "Phoenix". His family lived in Baltimore Co. (later named Carroll Co.) He died in 1803 and Joseph was the principal inheritor in his will. He was buried at "Bollinger's Contrivance". Joseph had purchased land in Carroll Co. MD in 1784, It was located about a mile south of Lineboro near the PA/MD border. He named this farm "Bollinger's Contrivance", a particularly interesting name for property. Many of the branches of our family are buried at Bollinger's Contrivance. Some of the Prices, the Bowmans, the Millers and the Buchers rest there according to our family records.. |
