With the French and Indian War over in 1763 and John Bernhardt Clever (Kleber) now sixteen years of age was old enough to work, if hehadn't before. Many of the Germans left the area and headed west towardCumberland Valley. The Germans were offered land if they would relocateto the Valley. Penn had purchased the land years before in an effort tokeep Maryland from laying claim and to keep faith with the Indians thatthey would have their own land. The Scots-Irish were the maininhabitants of the Valley and their restless nature was not good for theland. The Germans were very good judges of the land and they worked hardto keep it a practicing economy. After the war the people returned totheir land and the fields were soon producing and industry was movingin. It was probably what brought John Bernhardt to Cumberland County.He probably worked hard and finally fulfilled his ancestors dream ofliving a good and quiet life. By 1770 the people were protesting payingtaxes to the mother country of Great Britain. Once again the country wasinvaded, this time by the British. In 1775 the American RevolutionaryWar against the British began and did not end until 1783. He was aprivate in the 4th Co., 3rd. Battalion of Cumberland, Co. H.

Johann Bollinger was the son of Christian Bollinger and SusannaBechler of German descent. Barney and his wife had twelve children andhad made a good living for their family. He had a 240 acre farm that henamed "Mansion Farm" also called "Mansion Estate", that was deeded to himin 1788 by the agents of Penn and was a successful man in his own right.With his hard work and his ancestors dreams finally realized, Barneymust have felt very clever indeed.
