About Anna Elizabeth Neiman

There's quite a mystery here about the origins of Anna Elizabeth, and her husband Michael. First of all, web trees give her maiden name as "Schelling", which sounds plausible until you do a FindAGrave search and discover that there are (almost) zero Schellings in Pennsylvania before 1850. More likely the name was "Schilling", which does have some contemporaneous representation in York County, e.g.:

As for whether Anna Elizabeth was born here or in Germany, that would depend on when her parents emigrated. Many boats from Germany arrived from the Palatinate in the early 1700's, and Anna Elisabeth may have been a child aboard one. Or, she may have been born in Pennsylvania shortly after arrival.

In any case, her likely father would have been either Lenhart (see link above), or Conrad (whose wife shows up in FindAGrave although he does not). Other Schilling brothers might be discovered as well with further cemetery research.
