A Register of Marriage, in the Parrish of New Castle on Delaware, by Aeneas Ross, Missionary from ye 1st day of October, 1758 to _____.
"Banns. Anthony Bushong of New Port, and Catherine ____________. November 6 1759"
http://books.google.com/books?id=oohBAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false
from Wikipedia...
The banns of marriage, commonly known simply as the "banns" or "bans" (from a Middle English word meaning "proclamation," rooted in Frankish and from there to Old French[1]), are the public announcement in a Christian parish church of an impending marriage between two specified persons. It is commonly associated with the Church of England and with other denominations whose traditions are similar; the Roman Catholic Church abolished the requirement in 1983.
The purpose of banns is to enable anyone to raise any canonical or civil legal impediment to the marriage, so as to prevent marriages that are invalid. Impediments vary between legal jurisdictions, but would normally include a pre-existing marriage that has been neither dissolved nor annulled, a vow of celibacy, lack of consent, or the couple's being related within the prohibited degrees of kinship.
Traditionally, banns were read from the pulpit and were usually published in the parish weekly bulletin.

about Anthony from Wikipedia...
"Anthony" is equivalent to Antoine in French, Antonio in Spanish and Italian, António or Antônio in Portuguese, Anton in Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Dutch and German, and Antun or Ante in Croatian. The usual abbreviated form is Tony (sometimes "Tone" or "Ant" or "Anth"). Its use as a Christian name was due to the veneration of St Anthony the Great, the founder of Christian monasticism, particularly in France. Also significant was the later cult of St Antony of Padua. The spelling with "h" is not found until the 16th century when Camden incorrectly claimed that the name derived from the Greek anthos. The spelling pronunciation later became usual in the United States but not in the British Isles. The neighbor listed as supernumaries in 1766, with Andrew Bushong, appear to have property near Singer Glen and Muddy Creek.
Ephraim Love

Muddy Creek and the Lower Dry River are in Rockingham County, approximately 15 miles west-northwest of the city of Harrisonburg in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. Both waterbodies drain into the North River, which empties into the South Fork Shenandoah River.

In 1729, Jacob Stover, a native of Switzerland, visited the Shenandoah Valley and on June 5, 1730, obtained from the Virginia Council, two grants of land on the Shenandoah and its tributaries. The lower grant commenced about one mile below Bear Lithia Spring in the present Rockingham county and extended down the river to about the present Massanutten in present Page county. The upper grant commenced at the mouth of Cub Run in present Rockingham county and extended up the Shenandoah to the present Port Republic, and then up South River near the present Weyers Cave.'
The upper grant also included the Cub Run valley to the foot of the Peaked Mountain, near present Penn Laird, and the Mill Creek valley to the present Hering estate on the Keezletown road one and one-half miles northeast of Cross Keys, and some of the finest farming land is in these two grants. In the year 1730, Adam Miiller was joined by other settlers who came to Virginia from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Their names were Abram Strickler, Mathias Selzer, Phillip Lung (Long), Paul Lung (Long), John Rood (Rhodes), and Michael Kauffman. They purchased 4000 acres of the lower grant from Jacob Stover, and their homes were on and near the Shenandoah river from a point about a mile below Bear Lithia Spring in the present Rockingham county to the present Massanutten in Page county, Virginia. This locality took and retained its Indian name, Massanutten, and the evidence of the records gives to it precedence as the place of first settlement in the Valley of Virginia made by white men."

John was born on September 6 1754, in Aboard the ship "Recovery" on the Atlantic Ocean.

The capital, Wilhelmstadt, a prettily built town, with a commodious harbor and strong military works, contains nearly the whole population of the island. St, Eustalia, near St. Kitt's, is an enormous rock rising out of the sea, and presenting but one landing place, which is difficult of access, and strongly fortified. Sugar and tobacco are the principal productions. The capital, of the same name, is a small town, with 6000 inhabitants. An active smuggling trade is carried on with the neighboring islands, through St. Eustatia. It was taken possession of by the Dutch early in the seventeenth century. It has since then several times changed hands between them, the French, and the English. It was finally given up to Holland in 1814. Charkes-Town, South Carolina.

from BRIEF HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY
THE ORIGINAL LANCASTER COUNTY.
Lancaster county was the first county of Penn-
sylvania formed after Philadelphia, Bucks and
Chester, the first three original counties within the
present limits of the State. For its first twenty
years 1729-1749) Lancaster county embraced a
vast region, including beside its present territory
all that part of Pennsylvania to the north-east,
north, north-west and west of the present limits of
the county. Its first reduction in size was made
by the erection of York county in 1749. It was
still further reduced in size by the formation of
Cumberland county in 1750, Berks county in 1752,
Northumberland county in 1772, and Dauphin
county in 1785. Lancaster county was finally
reduced to its present limits by the erection of
Lebanon county in 1813.
*The new county was so named by the Quaker John Wright,
after his native county, Lancaster, or Lancashire, in England.
He came from England in 1714 and settled at Chester. In 1726
he removed to the Susquehanna and settled on the site of
Columbia.

History of Derry Township
The Township of Derry was incorporated on August 1, 1729, when Lancaster County partitioned its territory for tax purposes. At that time, the boundaries of Derry Township were much larger and included what are currently three other townships within Lancaster and Dauphin counties.
The first official government in Derry Township was established in 1759. Five officials were elected for one-year terms. The number of elected officials in Derry remains five, however the terms are six years.
In 1767 the court ordered the division of Derry Township, the eastern section to remain Derry and the western to be Londonderry Township.[1]
Derry and Londonderry became a part of Dauphin County when it was established in 1785. In 1787, the population of Derry Township was 198. Conewago Township was created in 1850 from southern parts of Derry Township and eastern parts of Londonderry Township. Not sure if this is the same Adam? Looks like at least two different, from the names

*about Swatara Creek (Schwadara)
Swatara Creek (nicknamed the Swattie) is a 72-mile-long (116 km)[1] tributary of the Susquehanna River in east central Pennsylvania in the United States. The name Swatara is said to derive from a Susquehannock word, Swahadowry or Schaha-dawa, meaning 'where we feed on eels'.[2]
It rises in the Appalachian Mountains in central Schuylkill County, north of the Sharp Mountain ridge, approximately 5 mi (8.0 km) west of Minersville. It then flows southwest in a winding course, passing south of Tremont, then cutting south through Second Mountain ridge. It passes through Swatara State Park then turns south to pass through Swatara Gap in the Blue Mountain ridge northwest of Lebanon. After emerging from the ridge it flows southwest, north of Hershey, past Hummelstown, and joins the Susquehanna at Middletown. It receives Quittapahilla Creek from the east 3 mi (4.8 km) north of Palmyra.
The creek was a significant transportation route in the colonial period of North America up through the middle 19th century. The Union Canal, an early public works project conceived by William Penn in the 1690s and begun in 1792 to connect the Susquehanna and Delaware rivers, followed the lower course of the river below Quittapahilla Creek. The upper course above Quittapahilla Creek into the mountains provided the route of a feeder to the main canal, as well as providing a route to ship anthracite from the mountains to Philadelphia.

I'm referring to is the Hans Hess family. The father Hans died in 1733. The patent for the 320 acres was issued to the youngest son, Samuel in 1739 when he was just eight years of age. This land is in the present Pequea Township, but at that time it was in Conestoga. I wrote about this land in the January 1990 issue of Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage, which is published by the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society. The article was titled Community and Material Culture Among Lancaster Mennonites: Hans Hess from 1717 to 1733.
Martin Keen
25 Aug 1788 in Pequea, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
Name: Samuel Hess
Birth: 9 Apr 1731 in Pequea, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
Sex: M 1
Father: Hans Hess b: 1 Jul 1683 in Wald, Zurich, Switzerland
Mother: Magdelena b: 1688 in Wald, Zurich, Switzerland
-----------------------------------
The land on which the village of Baumgardner is located was first taken up by Samuel Hess, who received it from the Penns on November 26, 1739.
http://www.horseshoe.cc/pennadutch/places/pennsylvania/lancasterco/towns/westwillow/westwill.htm. Were land patents issue to under age 21 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the 1730's?
Yes there were, Samuel Hess was one at age 8! Andreas Bushong was another, at age 16.
Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage - January 1990 (Community and Material Culture Among Lancaster Mennonites: Hans Hess from 1717 to 1733. Descendants of Ulrich and Barbara Eberly of Martic Township, Lancaster County, PA - genealogy., Volume XIII, Vol. 13, Number 1) by Various and David J. Rempel Smucker (1990)
PROOF OF UNDERAGE LANDOWNERSHIP
There IS proof that exceptions were made to the age requirements. Possibly since Andreas' father, Johann Nicholas Bushong is not yet found in the civic records, Nicholas died before Andreas received the land, it is not known. But from the Deed for Han's land grant there is every indication Andreas was a land owner at age 16 (maybe even 15, as the document in question was in Feb 1734). I cite as proof of land ownership before age 21, the example of Samuel Hess, who received his land at AGE EIGHT! If Samuel Hess can own land at eight than Andreas can certainly own land at 16! There WERE exceptions to the rule, for Samuel and obviously for Andreas.
From the PENNSYLVANIA MENNONITE HERITAGE;
Volume XIII, Vol. 13, Number 1
Published January 1990;
"COMMUNITY AND MATERIAL CULTURE AMONG LANCASTER MENNONITES: HANS HESS 1717 to 1733"
By R. Martin Keen
Published by the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society
Mr Keen cites, in the Pequea Township, (called Conestoga at the time), the youngest son of immigrant Han Hess', (who died in 1733), Samuel Hess was issued a patent for 320 acres of land in 1739. HE WAS ONLY EIGHT YEARS OLD AT THE TIME!
Samuel Hess was born Apr 9 1731 in Pequea, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. His father, Hans Hess was born Jul 1 1683 in Wald, Zurich, Switzerland. Minors and Land
The particular case of land transactions deserves special attention. Minors could, of course, own land acquired by gift or inheritance. Land was never without title, so a father’s will devising land to a minor resulted in the minor’s immediate ownership regardless of age. Likewise, the land of an intestate person fell immediately to a specific heir, even if a minor, under the law of succession.
However, it is rare to find minors selling land. Nothing in the common law prevented a minor from selling land, but the contract was unenforceable if the minor later changed his mind. As Blackstone expressed it: “an infant can neither aliene his lands, nor do any legal act, nor make a deed, nor indeed any manner of contract… that is of any force or effect.” That is, the minor could renege on the sale at any time. No prudent buyer would contract with a minor. The other party to the deed or contract was best served by either renting the land (the risk was lowered) or by contracting with the infant’s guardian, who had the right to dispose of the minor’s property or bind an infant’s estate to a contract. In cases where the infant himself sells land (quite a rare occurrence), we usually find contractual language requiring him to reaffirm the sale upon reaching majority and usually a subsequent deed upon reaching majority. Persons under 21 generally sold land through a guardian, a “next friend”, or a father.
Likewise, nothing in the common law prevented an infant from buying land or other property. But, again, such an action could be later be repudiated by the minor. Therefore, for the same reasons, we generally find such purchases made on the infant’s behalf by an adult guardian or next friend. Blackstone points out that an infant could renege on any contract upon reaching majority: “an infant may also purchase lands, but his purchase is incomplete: for, when he comes to age, he may either agree or disagree to it, as he thinks prudent or proper, without alleging any reason…”. While a proprietary colony administered by the Penn family instead of the English government, Pennsylvania still followed English law and required immigrants to sign an oath of loyalty to the King of England before they could homestead.
Pennsylvania colonial land law is quite complicated. There are exceptions for every rule. The best book on the subject is Pennsylvania Land Records by Donna Bingham Munger published in 1991. A warrant does not convey land to anyone. Warrants are issued by the Commissioners of Property in Philadelphia and sent to the local county surveyor. The surveyor then goes out and surveys land in the general area mentioned in the warrant. The person named in the warrant may or may not go with the surveyor to select his land. Also warrants are really never extinguished until the land was surveyed. Warrants issued by William Penn in England can be used by another individual decades after they were issued and in a part of the province far from the area mentioned in the warrant.
Pennsylvania rarely followed English law. Penn had his own ideas. The Pennsylvania Assembly would pass a lot of laws that were later ruled unlawful by the Privy Council in England. No one in Pennsylvania paid much attention to what England had to say and just did what they wanted to. You should study colonial economics in Pennsylvania and the surrounding colonies versus what England was trying to force them to do. You'll soon wonder why the Revolutionary War didn't start decades earlier.
Few immigrants during the colonial period signed any oath of loyalty to England. Some did but most did not. It did not keep them from owning land. Penn never required anyone to sign an oath before he would issue land to them and that policy continued after his death in 1718.
In regards to age and owning land, I have an ancestor who was 8 when he was issued a patent deed for 320 acres in Lancaster County. A patent deed from the province was the final step to ownership of land. Also single women and widows could acquire land through the Pennsylvania system during the colonial period.
