Although the bishop's two marriages were blessed with 18 children of nine sons and daughters each, only Johann Casimir von Bär (* 1702; † 1777) was able to continue the tribe. He became the founder of the Pomeranian Bornzin line . With the exception of David Benjamin (* 1675, † after 1714), who advanced to lieutenant in the Prussian army but was arrested at the Peitz fortress in 1714 and requested to leave the Netherlands Indies , his older brothers were in civil service. Benjamin (* 1673; † 1734) was a royal Prussian tribunal councilor and acquired some estates in Prussia, some of which he bequeathed to his nephew Benjamin Friedrich (* 1714; † before 1800). With that, those of Bär ibid. Have already expired.
