Catharine LEIN is merely a POSSIBLE SISTER of John LINE, our direct, as identified in The Swope Book of Remembrance by Morse and McLachlan, published 1972. They state: ìJohn Lein was a close associate of Emanuel Carpenter (Zimmerman in the original German), another early settler who owned considerable property in Lancaster County. Emanuel Carpenter's wife's name by tradition was Catharine Lein. Since she is not named in his will, she must not have been a daughter of Johannes Lein (John Lyne), but she may have been his sisterî. There are an Emmanuel Carpenter and a Catharina Zimmermaennin found in the marriage contract between John Swope to his 2nd wife Eliz. GROVE. [Please note that Zimmerman means Carpenter in German]
