Festervand, Festervan, Festerbaur...

The name is supposedly Dutch.  The name of my 
Great-Grandmother Kolb's grandfather.

It is found in documents as early as 1835 or so in 
Madison County, MS as Festerband, Festervand, 
Festevan, Festerbaur, Festabund....

What in the world is the true name of 
John W. Festervand, who has many descendants 
in LA and TX (and 
elsewhere)?

Any ideas?
