2. GERTRUDE RAMBO was born 19 Oct 1650 in Kingsessing, (59),, BANKS1.RTF) New Sweden and married ANDERS BENGTSSON on 22 Nov 1668. Anders Bengtsson was born in 1640 in Foxarn parish [now Fuxerna parish], northeast of Gothenburg, Sweden and sailed to New Sweden on the ship Mercurius in 1656. ( Details: There was a Lars Bengtsson on the preliminary passenger list for the Mercurius, but Peter Craig states that there is no evidence that Lars ever came to America. A history by Louhi mistakenly claims that Lars was father to Anders Bengtsson, but the sons of Lars would have been named Larsson.(59),, e-mail of 28 Mar 2003)) Anders was a large land owner in New Sweden, wrote his own name as Andreas Bengtston, and was known in the English records as Andrew Bankson. The family lived in Moyamensing, along the Delaware River in present South Philadelphia. Andreas was a church warden, trustee and lay reader of the Wicaco church and contributed faithfully to the support of the clergy. Anders Bengtsson was also politically active, serving as a justice on the New Court at Upland 1681-82, 1693 and 1701-03 and being elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1683, 1686 and 1698. As a member of the Assembly he witnessed the charter of Pennsylvania on 2 Apr 1683. By the time of his death in 1705, he owned substantial property south of Philadelphia in Moyamensing and Passyunk townships and "five hundred acres in the Swedes' tract at Manatawny [Amity Township, present Berks County], patented to him on 11 June 1705 (Phila. Exemplification Book 1:636-637; Patents, A-3:209). This land [in Manatawny] was sold by his sons to John Oakley on 13 Oct. 1707. (Phila. deeds)."(574),, 20 Apr 1999, p. 5) <b>Anders Bengtsson drowned in the Delaware River and was buried at Gloria Dei Church (Wicaco) on 14 Sep 1705.
