Anna Barbara was the daughter of Johann Leonhard Pfänder (OH6), a tailor and weaver from Unter-Wörnitz.
The ancestors of the Pfaender family had been Lutheran refugees from Austria who had left their home due to the ongoing relentless Catholic counter-reformation in the middle of the 17th. century. They had found a new home in the area around Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria, in the year 1651/52. John George Pfaender was a member of the 8th.
