John Swope  was executor for Hans Adam Bender here detailed and I am still determining the relationship beyond executor in Adam Bender's Will. 
John Swopeís great granddaughter Leah Swope [Dtr of Frederick, son of Jacob [John Jacob ] married Adam Benderís Great Grandson Michael Bender, but an earlier relationship might have existed.

Immigration:
Claimed by many online ancestors to be the Hans Adam Bender found in the Oaths of Allegiance for those on boord the Ship Dragon [Rotterdam via Plymouth to Philadelphia. Qualified September 30, 1732. PORT OF PHILADELPHIA ] . There is, also from the lists of that boat a Georg Adam Bender found on the Captain's list [source states "(these are usually the most inaccurate of the three)" for the same boat while Hans Adam Bender is missing from that list presenting then some confusion as to the actual name of the traveller in full. All of these lists, including the abjuration from the Pope list in which he does not appear relevant can be found at Immigrant Ships  Transcribers Guild Ship Dragon  passenger List.
