[p. 303] Michael Bollinger came from York County in 1799 and locating in Aaronsburg, engaged in the manufacture of chairs and spinning-wheels. Mr. Bollinger at that time was a very ingenious mechanic and combined with his regular trade the manufacture of powder horns, flutes, combs, and clarionets, the workmanship of which bore evidence of much skill.

In 1809, Bollinger was elected Sheriff of Centre County and in 1812 served as a member of the State Legislature. He died on the 8th of January 1840 in the seventy-sixth year of his age.

His children were Mary, William, Eliza, Henry and David (deceased), Thomas and Emanuel at Philipsburg, Michael in Ohio, Perry in Perry County this state, and GEORGE now a respected citizen of Aaronsburg, who for many years followed the same business as his ancestors.
Jacob Bollinger married a McKean. Although brought up by his father to the same trade as his, it proved distasteful to him and he removed to Brush Valley where for a while he conducted a store. He afterwards engaged in the same business at Millheim. He also learned the trade of tin smithing and for many years followed the calling of a surveyor. The representatives of his family are two daughters, one a resident of Madisonburg, the other the wife of John Smith in Penn township.
