NOTES From: "The Levering Family History and Genealogy" by Col. John Levering (page 108):

1) Frederick emigrated "...with two brothers and two sisters, arrived in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 1723, with their father, John Leinbach, Sr. (organist), and his wife, Anna Elizabeth, who was a dau. of Adam Kleiss."

2) "Amelia4 was baptized by Count Zinzendorf (then a bishop), at Germantown, Philad., May 6, 1842 [should read "1742"-km]--nearly five years after her marriage--thereby becoming related to the Moravian Church. She was the mother of seventeen children, as will appear in place. With nine sons she contributed her share to creating what has been called "the immense family of Leinbachs" of Penna., N. Car. and other localities."

3) "The recent (Nov., 1895) discovery of these family records in the old Moravian Church archives at Oley, Berks Co., Pa., by Bishop Levering, of Bethlehem, Pa., appears to explain the absence of local record information at Roxborough, of Anna Catharine3 (dau. of Wigard Levering), and her husband, Henry [Heinrich/Henrich-km] Frey, after their marriage, at Germantown, on April (O. S.) 26, 1692. The birth of Amelia4 at Skippack, 27 years after, suggests continued residence there of the family. The records of Oley, referred to, names Elizabeth as having married to Frederick Leinbach, but Abraham H. Cassel, the antiquarian, of Harleysville, Montg. Co., Pa., has legal documents of that period, signed by the parties, which show that Amelia married Mr. Leinbach and Elizabeth married Johannes Miller."
