Suggested edit: Source for Anna Maria's Baptism on 10 Nov 1699: Germany, Select Births and Baptisms, 1558-1898. Name: Anna Margaretha Rund; Gender: Female; Baptism Date: 10 Nov 1699; Baptism Place: Roemisch-Katholische, Gabsheim, Rheinhessen, Hesse-Darmstadt; Father: Jois Theodori Rund; Mother: Gertrudis; FHL Film Number: 957800. This source provides evidence that the birth year for Anna Maria of 1705 is likely incorrect, and should be replaced with "Bef. 10 Nov 1699," or "Abt. 10 Nov 1699."

Arrived on the Priscilla 28 Oct 1751, Boston:

Captain: Captain Brown
From: Rotterdam, Holland June 1751
By Way of: Cowes, England
Arrival: Boston 28 October 1751/9 November 1751

widow Anna Maria Geyer, 49 [1702]
d. Catharina, abt 22, w/o John Stephens
s. Henrich Christian, abt 18
d. Anna Maria, abt 16 [abt 1735]
s. Johann Peter, abt 14 [abt 1737]
"To Boston, Massachusetts"

When Catharina was recorded, "John Stephens" was not with her. It is my thoughts that Catharina went to England, Holland, or Germany to retrieve her family after the death of her father. The group was described as "Germans", but Rudolph Frederick Geyer was described as a "Wealthy Englishman", and the family were Loyalists. So the parents may have been from Germany, but migrated to England or Holland for a time? Or was England the first stop?
