Arrived from Hesse, Darmstadt, Germany about 1781. They landed at Baltimore,
Maryland. The family resided for a time in Washington County, Maryland, near
Hagerstown, after which they moved to Bedford County, Pennsylvania and settled in Bedford Township about six miles north of the town of Bedford. Have in 1784, Anthony Ling purchased land on Dunnings Creek. Again in 1794 there is recorded the purchase by Anthony Ling of further tracts. His name disappeared from the recoreds about the year 1820, which is presumably give some indication of the date of his death. The records of Somerset Co. show that about the year 1795-96, Anthony Ling, a non-resident, was assessed with
realestate in Shade Twp., and that his two sons, Phillip and Christian, were
assessed as tenants, which would seem to indicate that he had purchased these
lands in Somerset Co. for his sons.
Anthony Ling is buried about six miles from the homestead where Philip and Christian Ling settled when they sent from Bedford to Somerset Co. Shows up on the 1800 Somerset Co. census.
