    Leinert Heyer, a son of Anton and Anna Elizabeth (Ruflin) Heyer, was baptized in Benken, Switzerland January 15, 1695 and died in Hampshire County VA in 1772.  He married Clara Lutzler in Benken April 19, 1723.  Clara, a daughter of Rudolph Lutzler, was born in Benken and died in Hampshire County after 1772.

    Leinert received permission to leave his life as a fief hold in Benken, Switzerland May 11, 1737.  On September 24, 1737, Leinert, Clara, their children and Clara's father arrived in the Port of Philadelphia aboard the "Virtuous Grace."  Their daughter Clara died at Cowes, Isle of Wight of smallpox during the voyage.

    The family settled in Tupplehocken township in Berks County PA. Sometime between 1743 and 1750, they moved to Augusta County VA at present day Petersburg, Grant County WV.

NOTE: Although Eva, who married Lewis Bush has been identified as a daughter of Leinert and Clara, calculation of dates casts doubt on this statement. They were married May 11, 1737 and had child baptized February 22, 1724. This baptism was nine months and 11 days after their marriage. Hardly room to fit in another birth.
