He spelled his last name two different ways: Bender and Binder. No rhyme or reason to which one he used. His sons did the same thing. But the family name was permanently changed to Bender by the time his grandchildren were born.
He was my great great grandfather.
His siblings were: Eurphosina (1808-1894); Franz Joseph born 1813; M. Anna born 1815; Johann Baptist 1817-1896; Karl born 1819 and Agatha born 1821.
