It should be noted that when the above Sunder families immigrated to America they started using ?Sinder/Sinders" as the spelling of their last name. We were told that the Germans in the early 1800s pronounced ?Sunder? as "Sinder" and that was the phonetic sound that was picked up once in the United States. Also possible is that when the name Sunder is written in longhand, the ?u? with the umlaut (two dots) above it looks very much like Sinder, especially when written in the old German script. Thanks to Susan Fogle Lindberg (her direct line), we have much information on these ?cousins.?
Johann ?Conrad? Sunder married a third time on August 24, 1826 in Eppingen, Germany to Magdalena Simon. The marriage record says she was the widow of Johann Georg Gumpel and daughter of deceased Jacob Simon, resident of Muhlbach, Germany (a small village now part of Eppingen) and Eva Caterina Laerin (spelling?). She died on January 30, 1840 at age 50 (1790) in Eppingen. They had:
I.	Christina Sunder-b. April 30, 1827 in Eppingen, Germany. No further information.

III.	Susanna Sunder - b. May 20, 1835 in Eppingen and died there on February 24, 1837.
While it may seem strange that they named two children the same name, it was relatively common
in Germany at that time.
