     -- (Strasburger and Hinke, Vol. 1 page 685; Rupp "Thirty Thousand Immigrants" page 353)

 

 

"Daniel Paulus was a Brethren minister (with his co-worker George Brumbaugh) in the old mother Church -- Clover Creek -- before 1790."

     -- (page 80, "History of the Church of the Brethren in Middle PA" pub 1925)[Brumbaugh.FTW]

 

KKR assumption:  the 1788 marriage date per Broderbund WFT #5501 to George's 2nd wife, Anna Houser, is in error.  They were more likely married after 1816, when Anna's 1st husband, Christian Hoover, died. Thus all of George's children were born to his 1st wife, Susannah Metzger.

Jim Metzler, Lutherville, Maryland <[email protected]>

"Valentine Metzler was born in Switzerland, Feb. 14, 1726, in a Christian home which had undergone much tribulation.  As a boy he dreamed of some day entering Hans Herr's haven in 'Penn's Woods." Sea horrors, claiming as high as nine out of every ten and the loss of all under seven, left him undaunted. At twelve he seized the opportunity and crossed from Cowes, England on the ship Glasgow, landing at Philadelphia on September 9, 1738, with 348 Palatines including Yost Metzler, his father, who apparently died early, leaving him an orphan.

 

"He was married to Anna (Nov. 3, 1727-Mar. 29, 1793), the third and youngest daughter of Jacob Nissley of Rossmere, Dec. 19, 1749. They started housekeeping east of Lancaster, Penn. close to the point where the PA Railroad crosses the Conestoga River. Peter Metzler of Columbiana, OH, a great-grandson of Bishop Valentine, owned a Martyrs Mirror. In it the following record was written:

 

"Grandfather Valentine Metzler was a bishop in the Mennonite Church. He was born in Europe, February 14, 1726, came to America in 1738, and married Anna Nisli December 19, 1749; died July 24, 1783; aged 57 years, 5 months, 10 days. Anna Nisli was born December 9, 1727. My father, Abraham Metzler, was born February 24, 1753 and married Christiana Groff, in Lancaster county, PA."

Signed David Metzler, Age 77.

 

[Metzler Family History]

On 9 SEP 1738, the first of our Metzler ancestors arrived at Philadelphia from Rotterdam via Cowes, England aboard the ship Glasgow, Walter Sterling, Master.  They had left the Swiss Emmenthal for religious reasons.  Among the Metzler was the fater Yost, born in 1693 in Switzerland, and his son Valentine, born 14 FEB 1726 in Switzerland.  There must have been other children, but the passenger list includes only males over 16 years of age.  They settled in Lancaster, PA. Valentine was ordained a Mennonite minister in the 1760's and a bishop in 1778.

 

[Metzler Family Record, 1985 by Emma Metzler Martin, Page 24]

After the death of Bishop Valentine Metzler in 1783, his Bible became the property of his son, Christian.  Either sold or given away, it was lost to the family and church until 1832.  A tramp came to the house of Christian Hershey near Manheim, PA, carrying a heavy package in a bag.  Hershey asked, "Was hast du?"

The man replied, "Die heilige Schrift".

Hershey opened the bag and found Bishop Metzler's Bible.  He bought it from the man for five dollars and kept it until he died in 1864.  After his death his two children, David and Mary, wife of Henry E. Brubaker, divided the personal property but neither of them wanted the old Bible as it was too heavy to handle.  David then put it away in a closet where it remained until April 2, 1871, when it was given to Bishop Jacob N. Brubacher of Mount Joy, in whose posession it remained until 1890.  Bishop Brubacher promptly returned the sacred volume to Mrs. David Hershey, when she found out that her grandmother was Bishop Metzler's oldest daughter, Maria.

The Bible passed through several more hands and homes until it was placed in the North Museum, Lancaster, where it can still be seen.

Valentine Metzler was ordained a minister in 1760 and a bishop about 1778.  He served the Mennonite district north of Lancaster.

Bishop Metzler's Bible was printed in Zurich, Switzerland in 1571, a heavy bound Froschauer volume with brass hinges and clasps.  It contains marginal references on every page and is pictorial throughout.

 

[Mennonites of Lancaster Conference, by Martin G. Weaver, 1931, p. 45; available from the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society for $19.00]

"JACOB NISSLEY owned a track of 211 acres on the outskirts of Lancaster City on which was a family burial plot.  After Nissley's death in 1752, Bishop Valentine Metzler bought the farm for 145 pounds. Bishop Metzler, his wife and one son, Christian, as also the Nissley family, were buried on the farm.  The ground has long since been cultivated and the graveyard has disappeared and its location is now unknown. The land is a portion of the beautiful McGrann farm at the junction of the PA Rail Road on the banks of the Conestoga."

 

The following was copied from Handley Library:

"METZLER Dec. 3 1907, Boston, Mass. ...My ancestry settled in Penna. among the Conestoga Indians in 1715; came here from Switzerland under Hans Herr. Theodore Eby was my maternal ancestor, and Bishop Valti (Valentine) Metzler my great grandfather. I went down the Shenandoah Valley under Sigel, Hunter and Sheridan among the first soldiers to enter Staunton and fight across Jackson Gun (?) at Lexington. The last trip I made down there was when we cleaned out Jubal Early at Waynesboro. Sam Myers, a Confederate officer and connected with the Columbia Furnace (Shenandoah Co., Va.) was married to a cousin of mine, a Miss Wissler. They lived about Woodstock. A detail of our Regiment under Capt. Singheiser destroyed the furnace. The Myers and Wisslers were from Pennsylvania. ....Christian Eby Metzler."

Notes for Christian Burkholder:

[Stahly.FTW]

 

Christian Burkholder decided to leave his home in Switzerland in 1754. The door of hope and opportunity were closed to those who held to the tenents of the Mennonite church, because of restrictions and taxes. Their farmer neighbors, friends and associates who immigrated to PA were writing that the "new World" govenment touched them so lightly that they were barely aware of its existance.

 

Christian took sick and died in March of 1755 while making arrangements to leave. He however advised his wife to carry out their plans and join ther friends in the new world. It proves she had a stout heart and courage that were upheld with hope, faith, and prayer.

 

She located in Earl Twp., Lancaster County, PA and lived until 1789 to see her family grow up and established in life. Her family can never repay her for her love, sacrifice and labor.

 

The girls were the oldest, Mary, Anna, and Veronica. Nothing is known of their after life.

 

Ulrich the oldest was born in 1737 and died in 1804. He married and moved to a farm near the village of Bowmansville, Pa. He was a minister and is buried at the cemetery at what is now Pine Grove Mennonite Church, Bowmansville, Pa. A large group of his ancestors migrated to Quario. Also the Amish in OH and IN trace their roots to this family.

 

Peter Burkholder the second of the boys was born in 1743. He married Margaret Huber (1750 - 1798), a daughter of John Huber of New Holland, PA. In 1790 they joined the Mennonite exodus to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. They had four sons and four daughters and have many descendants today, the best known was Peter Jr., who became a Mennonite Minister in 1798. After his wife had died he made a visit to Lancaster County, PA. where he took sick and died. He is buried at Groffdale Mennonite Cemetery beside his brother Christian and Anna.

 

Christian Burkholder the youngest son was born in Switzerland June 1, 1746. He came to America in July of 1754. He was married to Anna Groff, daughter of Daniel Groff and grand-daughter of the Pioneer Hans Groff. In 1770 he bought a farm from his father-in-law north of Farmersville [3] which remained in the family for several generations. He was ordained a minister in 1770. He served the Groffdale district. When the Weaverland district was organized he was ordained the first bishop in 1778. He was active in his church work and was greatly concerned for the welfare of the young people. He wrote a catechism that went through four editions. His district covered the eastern end of Lancaster County. The means of travel were on foot or on horseback. The roads were poor and services were held in private homes. His preaching covered the troubled times of the Revolution and the whiskey Rebellion periods. At that time many farmers operated stills on the farms and sold their corn in concentrated form because of poor transportation. He died May 13, 1809 at the age of 63. He rests at the cemetery of the Groffdale church.

Notes for William Lawson:

He was the son of a widow. It may be assumed that his father was killed during the Scottish uprising of the followers of "Bonnie Prince Charlie", perhaps at the Battle of Culloden, Apr 16, 1746.  William was arrested and confined at Chester and Carlisle. On Sep.25, 1746, an agreement was signed to transport these prisoners to the plantations at the rate of 5 lbs. per head, and on May 5, 1747, he was shipped out aboard the "Gildart" and arrived at Port North, Potomac, Maryland on Aug. 5, 1747.

 

He was bound over to a plantation owner by the Captain of the ship, for which service the Captain was paid a goodly sum of tobacco. The people to whom he was bound did not treat him well. He was not permitted to eat at the table with the family but had to eat alone in the kitchen. The master had a valuable dog, and one day he switched his tail across Wm.'s plate, whereupon he cut the tail off. Screaming in pain, and spraying blood all over the floors, carpets and furniture, the dog ran through the house. When the master demanded to know why Wm. had cut the dog's tail off, he replied that he had often been told to eat what he found on his plate and ask no questions! Although the family had plenty of milk, he never got any, so one day when the mistress told him to feed the cow, he got a bundle of oats and held them under the waterspout in the running water. When she asked what he was doing, he said he was feeding the only cow that ever gave any milk for him!

 

After being there about a year, he ran away. Sometime in the 1750s he met and married his wife in Halifax County, Va., and during the 1770s and 1780s they were living in Montgomery County, Va.. On Sep. 13, 1777, he enlisted in Captain Daniel Trigg's Company of the Montgomery County Militia. They fought Indians in the western part of Va. and what is now West Va. He was on a list of officers and non-comsdated Mar. 31, 1781 at which time he was 50 and not very fit. He participated in the Battle of King's Mt..  He was in a group of 200 Virginians under Col. Campbell who assembled at Sycamore Shoals on the Wautauga River. On Sep. 26, 1780, these men left for So. Car. to "catch and destroy Ferguson", and on Oct. 7, 1780 they did.

 

In 1782, he bought 145 acres on Sugar Run, a branch of the Little River, then in 1790, he bought an additional 200 acres. On Nov. 14, 1796,he sold this land to Eliazer Cole for 300 Lbs. and moved to Russell County and settled at Big Moccasin Creek, where he purchased 155 acres on Mar. 26, 1798 from John and Mary Frazer. This tract was known as Little Valley. He sold this off as follows: 50 acres to his son, Wm. In 1806, 50 acres to John Smith in 1816, and 55 acres to Wm. and Jessie Smith, in 1822. He had meanwhile bought 75 acres from Jonathan Wood for 16 Lbs. on Mar. 2, 1807 and 75 acres from John Wood for 6 Lbs. this land was on Moccasin Creek.

 

The distance to the County seat in Lebanon became too much for the citizens so they petitioned to form a new county. Wm. signed this request as did his son, Wm, Jr. On Nov. 24, 1814, Scott County Va. was created and named in honor of Gen. Winfield Scott. He died of old age on Apr. 18, 1826, and his wife died the following Jan. Both are buried in the Lawson Confederate Memorial Cemetery in Snowflake, Va.

Notes for Peter Dewitt Sr.:

[Kathryn DeWitt Gazaway, [email protected]]

-- My Grandpa Artie Franklin DeWitt selected me to receive the oral de Witt Family History that had been passed down through each generation on the family since Barnett DeWitt born 1666. Grandpa stressed that I knew the oral history, but in my life time I would be able to find the needed records that would prove the Family Stories. Grandpa Artie gave me all the related surnames that the DeWitts married into. He did this so that I would know they were the right family group, he also told of the "Family" birth-mark (extra nipple - varying in size). This extra teat has been found on some Family members which has been carried down, even to the younger generations - those born in the 1970s. Grandpa said that Henry & Peter's father was Paul DeWitt and that his wife was Catherine Depuy. He stressed that the Depuys were French, thus a lot of people will believe that the DeWitt Family came from France. They came from the Netherlands and from Norway before that. Paul and Catherine Depuy DeWitt were the only DeWitt family that settled in what is now West VA, settling in Hampshire County, VA.

Notes for Thomas Ogle:

[From David L. Beckwith's excellent Ogle web page located at: http://www.smokykin.com/ged/f000/f06/a0000685.htm]

 

A marriage record is recorded in the parish book of the Holy Trinity Church (formerly Old Swedes Church) in New Castle County, Delaware for Thomas Ogle and Elizabeth Robeson.  (Another record for Thomas Ogle and Elizabeth Davis is also registered in 1764).

 

According to the note of Dr. Simeon Todd (deceased), 'Hercules Ogle, Thomas Ogle, John Ogle and their sister Lucretia Ogle and husband Abraham Stroud moved from Delaware to Southwest Virginia in 1763, but stayed only about a year because Indian troubles drove them out.  They moved across the border into North Carolina.'

 

All these deeds are recorded in Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina.  From Deed Book 6, page 164, 'Andrew Smith & wife Anna to Thomas Ogle, groom, for 60 pounds, 320 acres on Cabin Creek on East side of Gunsmith's path,' granted 15 July 1760.  Recorded 21 July 1764.  Tests:  George Magsune, William McConnell.

 

This same 320 acres of land in Rowan County, which Thomas Ogle bought from Andrew Smith and wife Anna, was divided among his three sons; Thomas Ogle Jr., Hercules Ogle, and William Ogle.

 

18 Feb 1793   Thomas Ogle to Thomas Ogle Jr. 100a 30 July 1793  Thomas Ogle to Hercules Ogle 120a 19 Oct 1795 Thomas Ogle to William Ogle 100a - 320a

 

In 'North Carolina Genealogy', there are several Rowan County, North Carolina Tax Lists for 1760's.  Only 'John Ford's List of Taxables for the Year 1768' listed Thomas Ogle.

 

On 23 May 1769, Thomas Ogle of Rowan County, North Carolina sold 67 acres on Little River, a branch of New River, to William Murphy.  This deed was duly recorded in Augusta County, Virginia.

 

There is found in 'New River Tithables', complied by Mary B. Kegley, the 'List of a W. Herbert - 1772'.  On this list, Thomas Ogle appears with three tithables.  The three tithables would include himself and two oldest sons, John and Thomas Ogle.

 

Thomas Ogle is listed as 1 tithable, no slaves, three horses, 13 cattle and owning land in the 1782 tax list of Montgomery County, Virginia.

 

In 'Montgomery County, Virginia-Circa 1790', Transcribed and edit by Nettie Schreiner-Yantis, the 'Personal Property Tax List A-1789' gives this information: '27 Apr 1790-Thomas Ogle with 1 white males-16 years to 21 years, no slaves, and six horses.'  The one white male listed above would be the youngest son, James Ogle.

 

In Montgomer County, Virginia Survey Book 'D', Thomas Ogle bought 140 acres of land on both sides of Little Reed Island Creek, 27 Nov 1789 from Thomas Black. This area was part of Grayson County, Virginia when Thomas Ogle died.  Today it is in Carroll County, Virginia.

This was the same land that Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth deeded to their youngest son, James Ogle on 10 Jan 1801.  The deed was proven in March 1803 after Thomas Ogle's death.

 

During the 1780's and 1790's, Thomas ogle and his wife Elizabeth were living in Montgomery County, Virginia; then Wythe County, Virginia, and later Grayson County, Virginia.  At that time, the land that Thomas and Elizabeth Ogle deeded to Thomas Jr. and Hercules Ogle in 1793, and to William Ogle in 1795 was located in rowan County, North Carolina.  This apparently accounts for the fact that in his will, Thomas Ogle left only one dollar ($1.00) each to his children.

 

Thomas Ogle's will was dated 2 March 1802 and was probated at the March Court 1803 of Grayson County, Virginia.  In his will, he mentions his wife Elizabeth and names his children.  There is no land mentioned.  Elizabeth is to have all movable property and each son and daughter is to have one dollar with the exception of Hannah who is willed one cow.

 

Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth, are believed to be buried in the large Ogle Cemetery on Peavine Ridge just outside of Hillsville.

Notes for Hans Graf:

[Stahly.FTW]

 

Hans Graf's occupation was a wagoner.

 

Hans Graf was born in Switzerland in 1661, and during the persecution of the Mennonites in his native country, he with others fled to Alsace. In Alsace he bore the title of Baron Von Weldon. He was a brother - in - law of Lieut. Col., and Duke of Metzeer, who was Governor of Breda, and it was from him the Grafs or Groves were entitled to the immense wealth in the father land. At one time none stood nearer in confidence to the throne than Hans Graf, but owing to this very prominence he became the target for false accusations from jealous parties. He was accused of treason against the government and his wealth confisated. The accusation were proved utterly false and he was publicly exonerated and given invitation to return and his wealth and property would be fully restored to him, but Hans Graft scorned their overtures and declined to return. He came to America and became in the new world a man of  wealth and prominence.

 

Hans Graf arrived in PA about 1695 and emigrated to Germantown where he remained several years.   Hans with other Mennonite families moved west and took up their abode on the northern side of Pequea Creek. It was not until 1717 however that pioneers found their way in to Earl Township, Lancaster County. This honor belongs to Hans Graf, for while in pursuit of his strayed horses, he found his way into what is familiarly known as Groff's Thal, within the limits of west Earl Township. Pleased with the country, he had his wife, children and chattels conveyed thither and located on the stream now called Graf's Run, where he soon took up land. He was the earliest settler in these townships, so also was he the wealthiest citizen at the time of his death in 1746.

 

Hans Graf was a man of more than ordinary force of character; he was the principal person in the new settlement that sprung up around him, even to the time of his death his name frequently occurs in the Colonial Records; he was one of the persons named to lay out the King's High Road from Lancaster to Philadelphia in 1733.

 

Along with many others he was naturalized on Oct. 14, 1720, in the third year of the reign of George the second.  He had already built a mill prior to 1729 and when in that year the township was organized the citizens honored both themselves and him in giving his name 'Graf', in its English equivalent, Earl, to the new district.   The foundation stones of the cabin he built in 1718 are yet to be seen in the barn yard of his lineal descendant, Levi W. Groff, who owns the residence on the old homestead.

 

The survey of his land was made on October 4, 1718 and calls for 1150 acres; on the 28th of February 1724, he bought 250 acres from Martin Kendrick and Hans Herr, who had purchased 5,000 acres from Penn on 22nd of November, 1717.  Under these two warrants there were surveyed to him, in a single tract on a branch of the Conestoga, 1419 acres on October 10, 1727, for which a deed was made to him by Thomas Penn on Nov. 18,1737. This deed after citing the circumstances of the survey, goes on and makes transfer "of all mines, minerals, quarries, meadows, marshes, etc.  The price paid for this goodly tract of land was L 141, 180 and One English shilling quit rent for every one hundred acres, to be paid annually on every first of March in the city of Lancaster, Penn. Ascertaining in some way that his tract did not contain the full number of acres called for by his deed he asked for a re-survey, which was granted October 16, 1742, when 91 additional acres were given him as shortage.

 

West Earl also boasts of having had within her bounds one of the first, perhaps the first Mill in Lancaster County, Penn. This stood on the south side of the Conestoga, right at the point where the Concalico unites with the stream. It was made a corner of Warwick Township when that district was organized in 1729, and only through that fact has its existence been preserved from utter oblivion. How long it was there prior to that date is unknown. An ancient deed covering this spot was also found and mentions it as a mill site and speaks of the mill race, but the mill had even then disappeared. Hans Graf the first settler in these townships was the builder and owner of this early mill.

 

Other evidence of Hans Graf: Rupp's Collection of Thirty Thousand Immigrants to PA page 433 - "Hans Graf came to Germantown in 1696. Also Hans Graf was Naturalized October 14, 1729. His brother Martin Graf, was first constable.

Notes for Hans Huber:

[From: http://www.mhsc.ca/encyclopedia/contents/H663ME.html]

More than 50 Hubers immigrated to North America before the Revolutionary War, and these Hubers represented at least four different faith traditions: Mennonite, Lutheran, German Reformed, and Moravian. The ancestor of many of the Mennonite Hoovers was the immigrant Hans Huber (ca. 1670-1750), a Swiss who was married to Margaret Koch. After living for a period in the Palatinate he came to North America in 1710, or soon thereafter, and settled at Mill Creek, Lancaster County, Pa.  Today the Hoover family is spread rather widely across the United States and Ontario.

Notes for Hans Heinrich Burkholder:

Hans Heinrich became a Mennonite minister at Gerolsheim in 1702, and was later ordained as an elder. He served faithfully for many decades, corresponding with the Dutch Mennonites about the plight of his fellow Bernese exiles in the Palatinate, repeatedly pleading for support of his hard-pressed and impoverished congregation.  After experiencing much hardship through the relentless Palatinate government, he died in 1752. The Amsterdam Mennonite Archives contain a number of letters by him.

Notes for Peter Lehman II:

[The following is quoted from Arby D. Dickert's web page located at:  http://members.aol.com/elayman814/history.html]

 

We are highly fortunate to have the benefit of research by Howard Lehman Spessard recorded in his 168 page book: A Brief History of the Lehman Family and Genealogical Register of the Descendants of Peter Lehman of Lancaster County, PA, Hagerstown, MD, 1960. He researches the background of our progenitor, Peter Leman, Sr. (b. abt 1680-d. 1741).

 

The name "Layman" is Germanic in origin (Spessard p. 2) and usually, the spelling of our surname by our German speaking ancestors was "Lehman".  After immigration, the name was often written by English clerks, who spelled the names of the German speaking immigrants phonetically, from verbal pronunciation by our German speaking forefathers. Predictably, the spelling began to "bob and weave". By about 1800, the spelling in most branches of the family had significantly, but by no means entirely, stabilized. I have not counted them myself, but according to Spessard at p. 8, there are eighteen different spellings of the name "Lehman" on the social security death index. Often, before 1800 and sometimes thereafter, an individual's name would be spelled differently on different records. It should never be assumed that a variance in spelling in an indication of no relationship. Neither should it be ruled out, because of a difference in spelling, that different records may refer to the same person . Spelling herein is that most often associated with the particular individual at the time referred to.

Spessard at p. 7 quotes information from the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. VIII, No 3, October 1919, p. 38, indicating that in 1671, a group of Bernese Mennonites began emigration from the Berne, Switzerland, area. Names of families that participated included Leman, Shenk, Bachman, Stauffer etc. Many of these names are also early immigrants to the Lancaster area of PA.

Spessard describes the immigration of the first group of Swiss Mennonites. They were led by Martin Kendig and Hans Herr. After a delay of about two months, they left London June 29, 1710 on the ship "Maria Hope," John Ennis, Master. The vessel contained a combined passenger and crew list of 94 persons. It sailed into Delaware Bay, Sept. 16, 17I0, and after a stop at Newcastle, it arrived at Philadelphia Sept. 23, 1710. There is no record known  that any Layman, by any spelling, was a member of the 1710 group.

Spessard describes the immigration of a later group of Swiss Mennonites, of which Peter Leman, Sr. was a member, by the following quote;

"In Rupp's 'History of Lancaster County, " page 117, he mentions that the Swiss settlement received an augmentation in 1715, 1716, and 1717. A list of those arriving during these years includes the name of Peter Lehman. Lancaster County Historical Society Papers. Vol. 13. page 53, indicates that there is no evidence that Peter Lehman came in 1709 or 1710 and further expresses the opinion that he probably did not arrive much before 1718. The best available evidence indicates the Peter Lehman arrived in America in Lancaster County in 1717. History reveals that there was an exodus of several hundred Mennonite families out of Switzerland and down the Rhine to Holland and elsewhere in the summer of 1711. Many names that appear in the record of this immigration also appear in the lists of those Swiss immigrants that arrived in Lancaster County between 1711 and 1717."  Baughman states at p.49, without citing a source, that Peter Leman arrived 24 Aug., 1717. Thus Spessard concludes that his immigrant ancestor was Peter Leman, Sr., born about 1680 in probably Switzerland. According to Richard Warren Davis' book, Emigrants, Refugees and Prisoners, Vol. ll, p. 258, his father,  Peter Leeman, was a Mennonite minister. His mother was Barbara Jung. He died in 1741 in  Lancaster Co., PA. His will is dated April 29, 1741 and probated June 11, 1741, apparently a deathbed will. It is recorded in Will Book A-I-56. Peter Sr. received a land warrant September 27, 1717, Lancaster County, Lampeter Township, of 300 acres by Mill Creek a little north of Pequa Creek, Patent Book A-6 p 173, Pennsylvania Archives, Harrisburg. Additional land is warranted in 1733 and patented 16 March 1735, Patent Book A-7, p 393. In addition Peter is shown on the tax lists of Conestoga Township in 1718, probably where he erected a boring mill for rifle barrels in 1721 (Col. Robert E. Gardner, Small Arms Makers, 1963, p 115], on a stream  known as "Boring Mill Run" which runs into the Conestoga River.

According to Howard Spessard and Will Book A-1-56 of Lancaster County, Peter Leman of East Lampeter Township and the Conestoga boring mill married an English woman, Ann, about 1721. Ann was the mother of six Pennsylvania-born children: Henry ,(abt 1721-), lsaac(-1776), Daniel (-1783), John(-1766) and Abraham (-1745). The Will also lists 5 older children, likely to have been born near Berne, Switzerland: Peter (Jr.,) Lehman (abt 1700 -1748) whose will is recorded in Will BBook X, Vol. 2, p. 394 Lancaster County, Christian (-1783), Jacob (-1742), Barbara (abt 1708-) and Mary (abt 1710-). There is no indication that Peter Sr.'s first wife ever arrived in  America. Mr. Spessard's ancestor was the younger Peter, who will be referred to herein as Peter Jr. and his father, our immigrant ancestor, will be referred to for clarity as Peter Sr. A great many of the Laymans by various spellings who now live in Tennessee, or whose ancestors lived in Tennessee, are descended from Peter Leman Sr.(-1741) through his son Jacob (who died in 1742). Jacob's birth date may be roughly estimated as 1706, and he appears to have been the third child, with Peter Jr. and Christian being older than he.

Mr. Spessard describes several tracts of land acquired by Peter Leman Sr., and sets out which of his sons inherited each tract. It is outside the intended scope of this memorandum to elaborate on each; as that information is available in Mr. Spessard's  book.

 

Spessard notes that in 1736, recorded in the minutes of the Land Office of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg , there is the following note: "Peter Laman having settled two of his sons on the 10,000 acres of  Guliana Maria Fell (granddaughter of William Penn) at Tulpehocken requests the grant of about 50 acres, lying on the north side on the outside of the tract." This land was located in Heidelberg Township, now Lebanon County. The two sons of Peter Leman referred to in the note were Jacob and Christian. Mohn notes at p. 299 that we find recorded in Mayhill; "Deed Abstracts of Lancaster County A-K 1729-1768 Vol. I," - "194 acres on Tulpehocken Creek, Caspar Wistar to Jacob Lehman, Jan. 4, 1735."

Notes for Johann Phillip Metzger:

BUTCHER BREAKTHROUGH LETTER

Based on research by Jeff CARR and David ARMSTRONG

 

Finally, a break on the mystery of the BUTCHER FAMILY that settled in Pendleton and Lewis counties. For years, researchers have been stumped and frustrated in finding anything additional to Valentine BUTCHER's seemingly scant records in Augusta County, VA. Valentine was the father of Nicholas Sr. and Paulser BUTCHER, the respective ancestors of the researchers. We have found about 35 previously undocumented pieces of evidence on the family, 17 of which refer directly to Valentine.

 

As subsequent evidence will verify, the family name went through a period of transition from the German "METZGER to the English translation of  "BUTCHER". In the German language(s), the occupation of a butcher is known by the names, schlachter, fleisher, and metzger; when Anglicized, these became slaughter, flesher and metzger. Metzger was usually spelled correctly by literate Germans (ministers); however, when spoken through a thick German accent and interpreted by semi?literate settlers, it got distorted. Spelled phonetically, Metzger was written as Matzger, Mitsker, Matcher, Medsker, Mischarles, Mitcher, Mitscaw, and Mitchkar. Even though the most convincing evidence of the name transition is found after 1775, it seemed much more coherent and logical to present the new data in chronological order. Valentine "Melchior" BUTCHER of Augusta County was in reality Georg Valentine METZGER. As subsequent evidence will verify, the family name went through a period of transition from the German "METZGER" to the English translation of *BUTCHER*. In the German language(s), the occupation of a butcher is known by the names, schlachter, fleisher, and metzger; when Anglicized, these became slaughter, flesher and metzger.

Even though the most convincing evidence of the name transition is found after 1775, it seemed much more coherent and logical to present the new data in chronological order. Valentine "Melchior" BUTCHER of Augusta County was in reality Georg Valentine METZGER.

 

Georg Valentin Metzger came from the town of Nieder-Linxweiler, Germany. This town is between St. Wendel and Ottweiler, about 15 km northeast of Saarbrucken. A brief search of the records there has documented vital records of our family. The immigrants Georg Valentine and Johann Adam METZGER were the sons of Johann Philip METZGER, who died in Neider-Linxweiler on Dec. 24, 1738. On Feb. 19,1736, Johann Adam METZGER, a weaver, married Maria Catherina SHERER; they had five children baptized there. On Dec.6, 1739 Georg Valentine METZGER married Maria Elisabetha KIEPPERT, a daughter of Johann Wilhelm KIEPPERT of Nieder-Linxweiler. Georg Valentine plied the trade (as did his father) of a kiefer, which is the German word for "Cooper" or barrel-maker. Georg Valentine and Elisabetha had two children there: 1. Anna Barbara, born August 4,1743. Godparents: Conrad METZGER, son of deceased Philip METZGER, Anna Margaretha, wife of Andreas SCHMETZER; and Anna Barbara, daughter of Johannis RONIES.  2. Louisa, born August 25,1746, christened August 27. Godparents: Johan THEOBALD; Louisa Maria, daughter of Johan Valentin REISTER; and Angelica LEPPER, daughter of deceased Nicol. LEPPER.

 

The birth record for Anna Barbara METZGER is of crucial importance-it is the link that connects our family from the Shenandoah Valley of VA to Germany. The VA end of the connection (her marriage) will be discussed later.

 

On March 21,1749, Georg Valentine, his wife, and two children were granted their manumission for 30 florins. The Ottweiler manumission records indicate that both Georg Valentine and Hans Adam METZGER, and their families were granted leave from Nieder-Linxweiler in 1749. They had to leave soon after March 21 to catch the America-bound ships at Rotterdam. The METZGER families have not been found in the emigration lists for Philadelphia for the fall of 1749. While it is possible that they came into a port other than Philadelphia, such as New Jersey or Maryland, this seems unlikely; Most of the Saarland (list of420 passengers found in footnote # 1) were recorded in the Philadelphia lists. On the Saarland list there were 26 people/families that emigrated in 1749; eight of these have no record of entry in America. Five of these unrecorded eight were from Nieder-Linxweiler, and several settled in Frederick, county, MD with the METZGERs. In the fall of 1749, two ships, the "Rachel" and the "Francis and Elizabeth", forbade disembarkation because of "too much sickness". The METZGERS were probably on one of these ships, more likely the "Rachel". As it was too expensive to shuttle these passengers around, it is probable that the survivors were dropped-off further down the coast of Delaware Bay in Delaware or New Jersey.

 

Georg Valentine METZGER almost immediately settled in Frederick County, Maryland. In the June 1750 court of that county, Georg Valentine brought a suit against Nicholas Bunderick for the 11 pounds that Bunderick owed him. The Justice issuing the arrest warrant stated that Bunderick "had removed in a secret manner from the place of his abode. The court ordered an attachment and appraisal of his remaining goods and chattels. The list and value of these items was included in the file; it gives a good idea of standard item of the day and the relative importance of these. The outcome of the case was that the attachment was "struck off"; it appearing to the court here that the defendant was not runaway and ordered that the plaintiff make restitution to the defendant of the goods and chattels in the inventory aforesaid4. In a sale bill of 1754, Nicholas BUNDERICK was identified as a carpenter in Augusta County, VA. Another book indicates that Nicholas Bunderick was born at Kliensteinhausen, which is about 30 km southeast of Nieder-Linxweiler. Bunderick emigrated in 1741 and is also in the list of Saarland emigrants (footnote # 1); it seems possible that METZGER and BUNDERICK may have had a European association in which the latter enticed the METZGERs to come to America.

 

In 175 1, Johann Adam METZGER had a son, Johannes, baptized on Jan. 27 (b. 13 days earlier) at the Frederick Evangelical Lutheran Church in Frederick, MD; the sponsors were Johannes REUTZMANN and Marie Elizabeth METZGERIN (the wife of Georg Valentin-the "in" denotes a feminine name in German). It is possible that this son Johannes is the "John BUTCHER" who lived in the Capon Valley of Hampshire County, WV in the last quarter of the 1700's. Little research has been done on the family of Hans Adam. There are METZGER records in Frederick County through 1800, and it is probable that they are of Adam's family. The Johann Valentine METZGER that had children baptized there in the 1770's is assuredly Hans Adam's son. David Armstrong recently found a descendant of this Valentine that is doing genealogy; we have yet to hear from that person.

 

At the same church in 1753, Georg Valentin had a son named Balthasar, born Jan. 26, baptized March 37. The sponsors were "the single daughter Maria Elisabetha FAUTIN and Balthasar BACH." This son, Balthasar METZGER, is in actuality Paulser BUTCHER. Balsar and Paulser were nicknames for the more formal Balthasar; in German b's and p's have the same pronunciation. For those who may still have doubts, David Armstrong has documented that Balsar FLESHER of Harrison/Lewis County was occasionally recorded as Balthasar8. He has also documented Paulser being referred to as "Balser BUTCHER".Balthasar BACH emigrated from Ottweiler, Germany as a single man in 1749. On the same page as Balthasar METZGER, the baptism of a daughter of Johann Adam BECK (sponsored by Nicolaus KONIG) is recorded. BACH, BECK, KONIG and Andreas PAULUS/BAULO (who is associated in the same church records) were among the emigrants in 1749 who cannot be found in the ship lists; the latter three were also from Nieder-Linxweiler. When Balthasar BACH died in 1796, the minister's report reads "... in 1749 toward the end of the year he came to this land from Germany with some of his countrymen, here to Fredericktown..." This confirms that this group of emigrants were traveling together.

 

Apparently, there is no record of the METZGERS having owned land in Frederick; the deed-clerk there reported that there were no METZGER/BUTCHER land transactions through 1780, but this should be verified. It seems likely that Georg Valentin METZGER left Frederick and moved to Augusta County around 1754. There was a heavy emigration to the Shenandoah and Potomac Valleys of VA in 1753 and 1754. Nicholas BUNDRICK was in Augusta by 1754, and Jacob ARGEBRIGHT, a later associate of Georg Valentin, sold his last bit of land in Lancaster County, PA. that same year. The first record of Georg Valentin in Augusta is in the already known record where he bought at John VINEGARD'S estate sale in Feb. 1759 as Valentine BUTCHER. I I In December of that same year, Valentine MITSKER was a witness of John COLLYS (COLLEY, GALLY, GALLET) will. 12 Valentine BUTCHER bought at another estate sale, Jacob SIVER'S, in August 1761.13 Other records indicate that Jacob SIVER, his wife and two kids were scalped July 8,1757. Jacob SEVIER came from Bischweier, Germany, near Karlsruhe, and married at Germantown, PA in 1753.14 During the Feb. 1762 session of the Augusta court, Valentine BUTCHER along with Jacob PARSINGER posted bail for Jacob ARCHENBRIGHT in a suit brought by Gasper KENDER; the order does not record the charge or outcome of this case. 15

 

It is unclear exactly where Valentine lived during his first years in Augusta County; based on the sales he attended, he must have been living between the present Bridgewater and Elkton in Rockingham County. In November 1761 Valentine MATCHIER bought 275 acres from Peter MILLER for 25 pounds. 16 This land formerly belonged to Valentine PENCE, who by his will directed his executors (MILLER being one) to sell after his death. This land was on Nelson's Run, a branch of the North River of the Shenandoah. We have not yet identified where this branch is, but it must be near the Rockingham-Augusta line between Bridgewater and Grottoes. In order to secure a loan in Feb. 1765, Valentine MATCHER mortgaged this land for (25 pounds) to Ludwick FRANCISCO and Charles RUSH. 17 It is not recorded why Valentine wanted or needed this money, but he did pay it back because he retained possession of the land. In 1768 Valentine MATCHEIER sold the land for 40 pounds to Hugh GIBSON. 18

 

Soon after he bought this land, Georg Valentine and Mary Elizabeth (though the record calls her Anna Elizabeth) had another son, Georg Valentine, born Jan. 21, 1762. He was baptized on March 2, 1762 at the Peaked Mountain Church at present McGayheysville, VA, and was sponsored by Charles and Elizabeth (SEUSS) RISCH/RUSH. Pronounced "Pea-ked," this church was a combination of the German Reformed and Lutheran denominations; the Peaked Mountain is now called Massanutten Mtn. Also on March 2, Georg Valentine and Mary Elizabeth's oldest daughter, Anna Barbara, married Jacob KROPF/CROPP. As I mentioned earlier, the baptism of Anna Barbara at Nieder-Linxweiler is the proving connection of our family in the Shenandoah Valley to Germany. Again, that same day (March2) Jacob CROPPS sister Margaret married Peter MILLER. As one may clearly see by this point, certain German family groups had repetitive interactions with one another. In Augusta (Rockingham) County, the RUSH, PENCE, MILLER, METZGER, and ARGEBRIGHT families were one of those groups. On April 16,1764, Valentine and Mary Elizabeth had another son, Jacob; he was baptized on May 20, with sponsors Jacob and Susanna ARGEBRECHT. In 1765, Jacob and Anna Barbara (METZGER) CROPP had a son (Jacob) and were the sponsors for Peter and Margaret (CROPP) MUELLER/MILLER's son Jacob. That is the last known record (to this writer) of the CROPP family in Augusta County; it is assumed they moved further south or west.

 

-- METZGER was listed with John CRAVENS and John RALSTON as appraisers of the estate of John NELSON in October of 1765.20 Given that Valentine was the only known METZGER in the area, and that he was living on Nelson's Run at the time, one may safely assume that this was Valentine. Valentine MITCHER was paid money for a claim against the estate of Stephen CONRAD in 1769.21 In March 1770, Valentine BUTCHER was paid for a claim against the estate of John COLLEY;22 it will be remembered that Valentine MITSKER was one of the witnesses of COLLEY'S will. This begins the first of several transitions from METZGER to BUTCHER.

 

When Valentine sold his land to Hugh GIBSON in 1768, he moved his family to the south branch area of present Pendleton. It was a year before he found land that he wanted to claim as his own; 130 acres on South Mill Creek was surveyed for Valentine METSCAW in December 1769.23 Though surveyed, the patent wasn't completed for almost three years. In June 1772, Valentine was named as defendant in a suit brought by Michael MALLO; the suit was dismissed due to the plaintiffs death.25 In four months Valentine was also dead.

 

The winter of 1772-1773 appears to have been particularly hard on the elderly of the Pendleton area; several of the leading settlers died then and their estates were processed concurrently. On March 1773 letters for the administration for the estate of Valentine Mischarles BUTCHER were granted to his son Nicholas BUTCHER, with John POAGE and Nicholas HARPOLE providing bond.26 Though no birth record has been found, Nicholas must have been the oldest son, being born ca. 1750. Given the previously cited phonetic corruptions of METZGER, it is now clear that "Mischarles" is just another form of this. There is absolutely no evidence to support the claim that this is a variation of the given name "Melchior." On April 1, Peter VANEMAN, Robert DAVIS, and Adam LOUCK (LOUGH) were ordered to appraise Valentine BUTCHER's estate.27 It appears that his estate appraisement took several pages to record; however, it is curious that a sale bill does not seem to have been recorded. Valentine must have been a man of some financial wherewithal and education. This is based on two facts; (1) he didn't have to serve a typical seven-year emigration indenture; he was clearly able to pay for his own (and family's) passage to America, and (2) he and his sons were able to sign their own names; something of a rarity on the l8th century frontier. On May 18,1773, Peter VANEMAN posted bond (with Harry STONE) as guardian of Valentine's minor daughter Mary.28Peter VANEMAN appears to have had no children of his own and seems to have regularly taken in orphans. It is unclear why Mary was the only minor child orphaned-out at that time; it may have been because she was a girl-- the other known minors were male.

 

After Valentines death, the records of the remaining family members are a bit scant until they became more settled about 20 years later. Nicholas MITCHKAR surveyed and patented 80 acres on South Fork Mountain in November 1773 in present Pendleton County.29 As nothing has been found to record when Nicholas disposed of this land, it seems likely that the tract was situated on the part of South Fork Mountain that was included in the formation of Rockingham County in 1778. The early deeds of Rockingham were destroyed in the Civil War, and it is very possible Nicholas sold the land when it was in Rockingham, before that area was included in Pendleton in 1787. It is also very probable that 1773 was the year that Nicholas married, therefore needing his own land on which to raise a family.

 

In March 1775 the estate of Michael BUSH was appraised by Charles FALLINGASH (FORINASH), Samuel PRINGLE, Paul BUSTER, and Edward TANNER.30 Given that there are not any other known records of a "Paul BUSTER," this is probably Paulser BUTCHER. Michael BUSH had been a settler on the South Branch, and BUSH, PRINGLE and TANNER were known to have been in the Buckhannon-West Fork area at that time; this may record Paulser's first excursion westward to check out the land. By August of that year (1775), Paulser

 

MICHKER and Nicholas MISKER were paid for claims against the estate of George DICE; 31 adjacent names in the settlement clearly place them back on the South Branch at this time. Lyman CHALKLEY misread "Nich. MISKER" as Mich. MISKER in his abstraction of these records.

 

Henry METSKER paid money to the estate of Valentine PENCE in 1776.32 This is the first time he is known to appear in any records; he married Betsy CLINE in Shenandoah County in 1785. He also appears to be the same Henry METZGER who settled in Greenbrier County in 1789, had a family there, and moved on in the 1820's. Though no records directly connect him with our family, it is possible that he is another son of Valentine. Also in Greenbrier was a William BUTCHER; he married Margaret DONALLY in 1785. At the same time there is a reference in Greenbrier to a William MASSUKOR (apparently living near DONALLYS); this could be another phonetic misspelling of METZGER. Since the name of Maria Elizabeth (KIEPPERT) METZGER's father was William (Wilhelm KIEPPERT), it seems very logical that they would have named a son after him; in addition, the name "William" was often used among descendants of Valentine's own children. This William BUTCHER lived in Greenbrier from about 1785 to 1791; as suggested by a descendant of Jacob METZGER/BUTCHER, William may have moved to Botetourt County, VA with Jacob (see later section on Jacob).

 

In August 1777 it was ordered that "George BUCHER, age 15 the 29th of Jan. last, be bound to Henry SHUCK (SHOOK?) to learn trade of blacksmith, and reading, writing and arithmetic to rule of three, and to give him 7 pounds as freedom dues. "33 This is clearly the George Valentine METZGER that was born Jan. 21, 1762 and baptized at the Peaked Mountain Church At this time, we do not know what became of him. This concludes the record of our family in the Augusta records; by 1778, their land began to be included in the formation of other counties.

 

As I indicated earlier, Valentine patented 130 acres near the head of South Mill Creek in present Pendleton County. At that time, this land was in Augusta; the Augusta-Hampshire line (or "Fairfax line") was between Petersburg and Moorefield. In 1778 when Rockingham was formed the Augusta-Hampshire line was moved to just south of the present Pendleton-Grant line, and thus included Valentine's land in Hampshire. In 1786 when Hardy County was formed from that part of Hampshire, the land was subsumed. Then, in 1788 when Pendleton was formed, the line was again moved about 5 miles back north; the area in which the BUTC14ERS had settled had changed counties four times in ten tears without ever moving! Anyway, in Hampshire County on May 12, 1778, "... Eve MITSCAW, widow and relict of Valentine MITSCAW, deceased, and Nicholas MITSCAW, son and heir at law of the said Valentine MITSCAW..." sold the patented 130 acres to Joshua HILL.34 This is the first record of Nicholas's wife, Susanna; she signed her mark of consent to this sale. Clearly, Valentine's first wife, Mary Elizabeth (KIEPPERT) died between 1764 (birth of last known child) and 1772; Valentine remarried Eve -- probably of some South Branch family.

 

Four years after the sale of the land, the following people are found in the 1782 census of Hampshire: Eve BUTCHER (3), John BUTCHER (7), Paul BUTCHER (7), and Nicholas MITCHER (9). In the 1784 census, Eve is not listed, John has 7, Paul has 6, and Nicholas has 11 in his household. I suggested earlier that this John BUTCHER was possibly a relative of Valentine; he does not seem to have been another son. John is on the tax and other records of Hampshire past the year of 18 10. Paul BUTCHER was taxed in Hampshire from 1762 to 1785. Nicholas was also taxed there as BUTCHER in 1782, MITCHAR in 1783, MISSCAW in 1784, and MITCHER in 1785. His residence would have been included in Hardy County in 1786; the tax records for Hardy for that year do not list him, but they appear to be far from complete.

 

On the 1787 census of VA (actually, tax list), Nicholas was taxed in Hardy, Paulser and Jacob BUTCHER were taxed in Rockingham, although they lived in different districts. Paulser lived in northern section that encompassed the Pendleton area; Jacob lived in the standard part of Rockingham. In 1788 Jacob BUTCHER married Ann HALMALDTY (HELMENTOLER- (sp?))in Rockingham County; Charles SMITH (schoolmaster) and Michael MALLOW were the witnesses. Barbara McCARTHY, a descendant of Jacob, recently informed me that Jacob moved to Botetourt County, VA; he and wife signed a deed ca. 1805 as "Jacob METZGER." She also reported that Jacob moved his family to Fairfield County, OH, where he died in 1824.35

 

By 1788, both Nicholas and Paulser BUTCHER are listed in John McCALLYS list of tithables in Harrison County; based on others in the list, they were living in the present area of Lewis County As is well known, Paulser continued to live in Lewis Co; however Nicholas moved back to Pendleton and was included on the list of tithables there for 1790. There in 1792 a Margaret BUTCHER married Jacob PITSENBARGER; it is assumed that she was the oldest daughter of Nicholas and Susanna. In 1797, Jacob and Margaret sold their land and moved west with a large contingent of other South Branch families. In 1794, both Nicholas BUTCHER Sr. and Jr. were recorded in the militia lists. In January of 1794, Nicholas BUTCHER located 35 acres of land on the west side of North Mill Creek, joining WISE'S, FISHER, COLLEPS, LOWTHERS.36 On Feb. 11, 1795, Nicholas METZGER had the same land surveyed by James SKIDMORE and Moses HENKLE.37 Then, in 1800, Nicholas and Susanna BUTCHER sold that same land to John COLAP; again Susanna signed her mark of consent.38 In Pendleton Nicholas BUTCHER had additional locations of 40, 50, and 50 acres; only the 40 acre survey was recorded. Strangely enough, the eventual sale of these lands has not been found in the records.

 

Despite the startling nature of all this new evidence, this really represents only a beginning of documentation and consolidation of this family. Even though the footnotes may be overdone, I want to provide enough reference that others may verify this research. Without trying to sound critical, the group of "brothers" advanced by VA Dean LAWSON has no documentable interrelatedness (excepting those suggested here); those seven were just a collection of BUTCHERS who had Revolutionary War service in VA. Given the preponderance of the name "Gasper" in Paulser's descendants, it is possible that Paulser did have a brother by that name. Anne BUTCHER of Newbury Park, CA. has documented evidence that her ancestor Gasper BUTCHER came from VA, lived in Kentucky and died in Illinois. He had several children whose names match those in the Valentine BUTCHER family.

 

David ARMSTRONG was responsible for identifying the Germanic variations of the BUTCHER name and the METZGER records in the Peaked Mountain Church session book. Jeff CARR did the individual county research. Our contact person who did the German research in Salt Lake City has verified the abundance of METZGER records in the area around Nieder-Linxweiler. Based on the quality of his completed research and the probable success of further investigation, we want to create a research fund to finance the thorough documentation of our ancestors. Several of us have already invested in this and we would like to ask for contributions from any other interested descendants.

It was nice to meet you in Salt Lake City. I hope your research was profitable! Unfortunately l again overspent my six hours and spent nearly twice that on this research; however, I didn't want to quit until I had found something.

 

Nieder-Linxweiler CHURCH RECORDS

As I told you, the hardest part of doing this research was establishing which parish had what jurisdiction during what period of time. This became very complex and it still isn't sorted out perfectly. Apparently before 1726, the Lutherans at Nieder-Linxweiler, Oberlinweiler and Remmesweiler went to church at Ottweiler (or that is where their records were kept by the minister).

 

After 1726 there was a Lutheran church book kept at Nieder-Linxweiler for those three towns. After 1728 there was also a church book kept at Mainzweiler, which included also, entries from Remmesweiler, Oberlinweiler, Nieder-Linxweiler, Steinbach, Wershweiler and Wetschausen.

 

During the years 1672-1678 there was a church book started for Nieder-Linxweiler, Oberlinweiler and Remmesweiler. Apparently, this was not successful and they were again recorded at Ottweder. This church book covering the years 1672-1678, apparently was used when the minister at Dorrenbach began keeping records in 1681. The records at Dorrenbach after 1781 include entries from the towns of Dorrenbach, Furth, Werschweiler and Lautenbach.

 

It appears that some of the early Lutheran records from Nieder-Linxweiler may also be included either with Neunkirchen or with the Catholic records in a nearby town.

 

The earliest records at Ottweiler, covering the time period 1617-1626 only included the towns of Welichbach, Steinbach, Neumunster and Mainzweiter. Apparently during this time before the 30-years war, the Lutheran church probably was big enough to have its own parish at Nieder-Linxweiler. On page 573 of the Nieder-Linxweiler book it states that before the war (before 1635) there were 15 houses in this village, and that after the second war in 1677 the town was burned down. Since then, as of 1684, there had been seven houses rebuilt.

 

It is no wonder that it took a hundred years (1626-1726) for the town of Nieder-Linxweiler and surrounding towns to grow big enough to support a Lutheran minister again. During those years the Lutheran members apparently had to have their christenings, marriages and funeral ceremonies performed by the minister of Ottweiler. Apparently they tried to have their own church again after the second war, but after four years (1672-1676) they had to again fall under the jurisdiction of Ottweiler until 1726. The bottom of page XVIII of the Nieder-Linxweiler book talks about some of this history.

 

The records of Nieder-Linxweiler 1672-1676 and those of Ottweiler were searched for the names on your pedigree chart. Following is a report of what was found on each of those families.

 

THOM/DOHM FAMILY

This family was extended back another generation. Beginning in 1677 the children of Hans THOM of Welschbach were searched for and three were found including Anna Catharina THOM, who married Johann Philip METZGER:

 

1. Anna Catharine THOM chr 24 Feb. 1674

2. Maria Ottilia THOM chr 28Mar. 1675

3. Maria Angelica THOM chr 11 Nov. 1677

 

There were probably other children and this could be searched for in the future if you are interested. I noted another daughter, Anna Elisabetha, christened 26 October but didn't note the year. The marriage record was also located for Hans DOHM which extended his line back another generation and established his wife's name and her father.

 

Hans DOHM son of Niclas DOHM of WeIschbach married 30 May 1672 Elisabetha Catharina, daughter of Johann ZIMMER.

 

While looking for this information the records of a Christian DOHM was also located. This included a marriage record and a child's christening record.

 

Christian DOM (sic), son of Niclas DOM of WeIschbach married 18 Jan. 1670 Catharin, daughter of Nichel SCHMID of Hatzweiler.

 

Hans Leonhard, son of Christian DOHM and Catharina, christened September 1673.

 

The above records all come from the parish of Ottweiler. From the earliest records in the 1617-1626 time period WeIschbach belonged to the parish of Ottweiler. The christening records for the time period of the 1640s and 1650s were searched but no record was found for that time period for the DOHM family

 

It appears that the DOHM family moved to WeIschbach sometime around 1650-1670. Perhaps the death record of Niclas DOHM, his wife or his two sons might give some clues about where this family came from prior to coming to WeIschbach. This is one area that could be researched further. Also no attempt was made to locate where the ZIMMER family was from, except in researching the 1640-1650s of Ottweiler. Further research could be spent to try to locate where this family came from.

 

GABLER REPORT

Since you wanted the missing generation on the GABLER family between Anna Catharina GABLER and Hans GABLER, this was the area that I spent most of my time. After searching the records of Ottweiler and Arieder-Linxweiler very carefully for the time period that Anna Catharina GABLER should have been born and also looking at the lists from the Nieder-Linxweiler book, it was very obvious that there were only two GABLER families living at Nieder-Linxweiler during this period.

 

Several additions were found on these two families from the information in the Nieder-Linxweiler book. These were the families of Hans Martin GABLER and Hans Jacob GABLER. There was also a Caspar GABLER of Steinbach that had children christened during this time period. After studying these families, carefully, and still not placing the Anna Catharina GABLER, the information on the KIEPPERT family was again evaluated.

 

KIEPPERT FAMILY

From the last report was found a Johann Wilhelm KIEPPERT who shows up in Nieder-Linxweiler during the time period 1730-1741. He had at least three children:

 

1. Johann Valentin (Velte) KIEPPERT, witness in 1732. He died 17 April 1739 and was buried 19 April 1739 at Nieder-Linxweiler. 2. Maria Elisabetha KIEPPER T in. 6 Dec. 1739 Georg Valentin METZGER at Nieder-Linxweiler. 3. Maria Catharina KIEPPERT b. 8 Feb. 1731, chr 10 Feb. 1731 in Nieder-Linxweiler. She died 10 May 1732 at Nieder-Linxweiler.

 

The father, Johann Wilhelm KIEPPERT was buried 2 Jan. 1742 at Alieder-Linxweiler in his 54th year. He was listed as 53 years old and poor in 1741. In 1731 he was listed as having three children, one son, one daughter, and five people in the household. From the above information, it would seem that there were two daughters and that makes a total of five people in 1731. By 1737 the oldest daughter had died and the other son and daughter were still living at home making it four people in the household.

 

From the christening record of Maria Catharina KIEPPERT in 1731, we learn that the mother was Anna Catharina. So far the only place where the name was listed as Anna Catharina GABLER was from the Nieder-Linxweiler book and there is no indication where that information came from.

 

On searching this book very carefully a new connection was found on page 238, family number 934. Notice that the eighth child of Hans Nickel LEPPER and Anna Maria LEHNMEYER was a Catharina LEPPER who married Wilhelm KIEPPERT. Now I have combed these records very carefully and there is only one Wilhelm KIEPPERT. The name KIEPPERT was found spelled variously but is not to be confused with the name KIEFERT. This is the same Wilhelm KIEPPERT as the author of this book lists as married to Anna Catharina GABLER.

 

It is my belief that the author either mixed up Anna Catherina GABLER, the wife of Hans Georg LEPPER with Wilhelm KIEPPERT or some other way got the name by mistake. There are plenty of mistakes in this book, but it is a helpful guide anyway because of all the sources it uses.

 

In any case there was apparently a probate record of some kind dated 20 June 1737 where the widow of Hans Nickel LEPPER reported her son-in-law to the bailiff. It may have been part of this record that listed the daughter of Catherina LEPPER who was then the wife of Wilhelm KIEPPERT. In any case, with the LEPPER connection instead of the GABLER connection, it was possible easily to take the family back three more generations in the Nieder-Linxweiler book These generations can be verified in the church records if you wish. Below is a summary and copies of this information from the Nieder-Linxweiler book are enclosed.

This information is also found on the enclosed pedigree chart. It would probably be good to go to the original sources and try to prove this connection better and find the birth and marriage record of Anna Catharina LEPPER.

 

In looking for the KIEPPERT family in the IGI, there were a few families by this name in the area to the north east of Nieder-Linxweiler including the towns of Cronenberg and Herren-Sulzbach.

 

METZGER FAMILY

Not enough time was left to see if we could extend the METZGER family any further. The records of Jettenbach go back to 1742 and those of Kaulbach on the east go back to 1728. Reichenbach on the south go back to 1660 and Bosenbach on the west go back to 1709. We could see if the records of Reichenbach or Bosenbach included entries for Jettenbach in the earlier records. Otherwise it would appear that the METZGER family has been extended about as far as it is possible at present.

 

SUMMARY

It appears that instead of reporting that these were the end of lines and nothing more could be done, we have instead found several more leads and helped extend these families back a couple more generations in the German records.

 

I spent over 10 hours doing the research on this family, but you can pay me for 6 hours as we agreed ($90). I would suggest, however, spending another 10 hours in order to follow these leads; first by establishing the end of the line for the METZGER family and DOHM family, and by documenting and proving the connections on the KIEPPERT / LEPPER families.

 

This has been a very interesting project and I've really enjoyed researching these families. Best wishes to you in your research.

RETYPED FROM A LETTER FROM TERRY L. CARPENTER TO BETTE TOPP 22 JUL 1992

Terry L Carpenter / HQ USAFE / PSC 2, Box 6154 / APO AE 09012 To Bette B. Topp / W. 1304 Court /Spokane, WA 99218?2917 22 July 1992

 

Dear Bette:

 

Congratulations on the success of your map lecture! 82 maps in one hour? You must be one fast talker! I'm sure everyone enjoyed it, and you made some serious converts to the ranks of  "cartophiles".

 

I got to Nieder-Linxweiler just a couple of weeks after your letter arrived. It was Sunday afternoon and everything was quiet. I am going back when everything is open on a weekday and the weather is good but I didn't want you to think I was ignoring your letter. I took the enclosed photos of a few of the highlights and we walked around getting leads on other things.

 

It is a very picturesque little town. It is situated in a small valley in a bend of the Blies River with the Bahnof (train station) on one side and the town square on the other and most of the oldest buildings around the square. The two halves of the village are connected with a bridge. The oldest houses are built of light?red sandstone blocks. The oldest part of town follows the valley with the river. The newer houses (those only 200 years or so old) climb up the hillsides around the center of the town. You can walk quite a ways up on the Wanderwage (hiking paths) which we did?? a climb of200 or so feet. It was quite a view. The photo from the top does not do it justice. The main church dates from the 1770s but was not the first church. Behind it and a little ways up the hillside, is the main cemetery. We walked through it and I found the names KIEFER and SCHERER on tombstones. One came out in a photo, the second one of the cemetery, with the new memorial chapel in it. The tombstone on the left is for the "Eheleute " (married people) GEMSER and KIEFER (KIEFER would be the wife's maiden name). Here in Germany, they have a law that if cemetery plots are abandoned they are turned back over to the state, so older tombstones rarely survived. There is a Metzgerie (butcher shop) in the town, but I did not find the name METZGER on anything that day. METZGER is a very common name in the Rheinland?Pfalz where we live and they could have moved out of the Saarland seeking Jobs or land or something. I got the idea that the town had been hit really hard by at least one war.

 

The last photo is of the town memorial to all the wars since 1870?1871 and there were quite a few in this region. It has been a battleground for 2,000 years and more. The Saarland is a bit different tom the rest of Germany. It seceded from Germany after WWII adjoined France but eventually voted to rejoin Germany. It is a coal-mining region but coal-mining has mostly gone bust and the main industry seems to be light manufacturing now. Like most of the border areas, many of the people have French ancestry and surnames and the local dialect of Germany has a French flavor to it and French is understood and spoken a bit. It was a stronghold of the Celts before the Romans conquered the area and there are a lot of Celtic ruins in the area including a Celtic ring wall fortress dating tom about the time of Christ which is one o four favorite places to spend a day. After the Celts came the Romans, then the Germans, who mixed with the French who were not far away.

 

The region is mountainous with little quiet rivers and brooks cutting through them, lots of green trees and wheat fields, neat houses with tile roofs and people walking and bicycling around. It must be a very peaceful place to live, at least for the last 50 years. The people were very friendly, even when trying to cope with my not-very-fluent German. They are curious about Americans and interested about hearing about relatives in America.

 

The reference to "Lothringer Province" refers to the division of Europe in the year 843 into three kingdoms for the three grandsons of Charlemagne, Louis, Charles and Lothair. Lothair's part was the Lothringer Province and was the middle empire created by the treaty of Verdun in 843. It included, roughly, a strip of area, which is now the Netherlands, extreme western Germany, northeastern France, down to the Mediterranean with the western portion of the Alps. This included what is now Saarland It was indefensible and didn't last long in the rivalry between the two stronger brothers.

 

I will get back, I promise. The old Rathaus (town hall) has an aerial photo and history (in German), but it was closed up tight. No phone book to go through (the Germans don't have phone books in their public phones). All this I will get when I go back. It's only 45 minutes away and a very scenic drive. We both have been so busy lately that it's hard to get away during the week when the weather is decent. The summer rush is half over, and things are much less hectic closer to September, so at the latest by then I'll get backhanded more information. Ottweiler is interesting too, so I'll take a look there also.

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES FROM TERRY L. CARTER

The village of Nieder-Linxweiler is in the Kreis (county) of St. Wendel and was in the ancient province of Lothringer, which was in existence from 843-870 A.D. The people of the area were originally Celts and Franks before they differentiated into German or French. Saarland was first more German because it was part of the German?speaking Frankish Kingdom after the break?up of the Lothringer Province, but became a French Province (de la Sarre) in 1684 and was part of Louis XIV's empire. In 1697, it was returned to the German states, but in 1792 French troops again occupied it. After the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, most of it was ceded to Prussia. When the Alsace?Lorraine was ceded to the German empire in 1871, the Saar became part of Lorraine. It became part of France after WWI but in 1935 voted to return to Germany. It was occupied by French troops in 1945, and rejoined Germany in 1959. Quite a history of upheaval.

 

The time period when the METZGER family was present and judging from their Germanic surname and the period they were there (early and mid- 1700s), it is felt they were probably Germanic settlers who moved there out of the Pfalz after 1697, and left for America during the threat of French occupation in the mid- 1700s. That seemed to be a common pattern in southwest Germany.

 

Since WWII they have changed the graves over a period of years, though the custom varies. It seems that the Nieder-Linxweiler cemetery may have fallen into disuse or was destroyed which is why there are no very old tombstones there. The main cemetery seems to go back only to the late 1700s in its present form, but with only very few tombstones older than the 1900s.

 

I would estimate only 500-1,000 people live in Nieder-Linxweiler. I could find no active historical society. People suggested there might be a history with Ottweiler. Nieder-Linxweiler has been administratively absorbed by the city of St. Wendel, so there is not really a Rathaus (town hall) function any more. I referred to Nied. as a "Stadt" and people thought I was referring to St. Wendel or Ottweiler, then corrected me by telling me that Nied is a "Dorf' (vary small village).

 

The land is mostly agricultural with some forest. According to the Atlas of Saarland in the library, it seemed the families (I was interested in) were clustered around a 15-20 mile area near Ottweiler.

 

The river winds through the town through the trees. The village was originally situated on the left bank of the river and by the 20th century had crossed the river and climbed the mountain, so that Nieder-Linxweiler filled the whole valley.

 

The church is near the right end of the bridge and the bell tower is its distinguishing feature with trees to the right of it and rows of graves further to the right. Pink sandstone is the typical building material for the Saar (land) and the southern Pfalz. Most buildings have been plastered over but many are now being restored to original appearance and some villages have dozens of them. Nowadays, 3-4 families may share one of these since families are no longer large and the apprentices, servants, etc, no longer live with the families. Many of them are still owned and operated as farms, though new environmental laws are making some of them close down if they are too close to town (they have quite a strong odor sometimes).

 

Editor's note: Thanks to Terry, who is one of the best researchers I know, for giving us a flavor of the southwestern Germany village of Nieder-Linxweiler, from whence the Georg Valentin METZGER/BUTCHER family originated. (Note written by Bette Butcher TOPP, publisher of the volumes of "Butcher Block".)

MORE GERMAN RESEARCH

At the time the ship Patience arrived, two other vessels were about landing. In the ARCHIVES is found this Memorandum:  " The foreigners, in number 49 imported in the ship Francis and Elizabeth Capt. BEACH, being sickly, were not permitted to be landed. Likewise, the foreigners, in number 53, imported in the ship Rachel, Capt. ARMSTRONG, were so sickly that it was thought dangerous to suffer them to land altogether; whereupon the sick were ordered to be separated from the well, and such as recovered, with the well, were to be qualified occasionally".

In continuing back further on the Georg Valentin Metzger/Butcher information, I have finally got the marriage record of the grandparents of Georg Valentin Butcher. He was born 19 April 1715 and christened 22 April 1715 at Mainzweiler, Germany. This was according to the record at Ottweiler church. He was a son of Johann Philip Metzger and Anna Catherine Dohm who married in 1696. The Ottweiler Evangelical Church Register of marriages 1670-1702 on film #490011 item 2 shows that on, "the 30th of May 1672 was married Hans Dohm, legitimate son of Niclas Dohmen of Welschbach, and Elisabetha Catharina, the legitimate daughter of Johann Zimmer."

BUTCHERBLOCK

Volume 12-March 1995

The wife of Georg Valentin Metzger/Butcher was Maria Elisabeth KEIPPERT born ca 1720. They m. 6 December 1739 Nieder-Linxweiler, Germany. She was the daughter of Johann Wilhelm KEIPPERT b. 1688 and Anna Catharina LEPPER. Johann Wilhelm was buried 2 Jan. 1742 at Nieder-Linxweiler in his 54th year. He was listed as 53 years old and poor in 1741. In 1731, he was listed as having three children, (one son and two daughters) and five people in the household. From that information it would seem there were two daughters and that makes a total of five people in 1731. By 1737 the oldest daughter had died and the other son and daughter were still living at home making it four people in the household.

 

1. Johann Valentin (Velte) KEIPPERT, witness in 1732. He died 17 April 1739. Buried 19 April 1739 at Nieder-Linxweiler. 2. Maria Elisabeth KEIPPEERT, who married Georg Valentin above. 3. Maria Catharina KEIPPERT b. 8 Feb. 1731, christened 10 Feb. 1731 Nieder-Linxweiler. She died 10 May 1732 at Nieder-Linxweiler. This christening record gave her mother as Anna Catharina. According to the Nieder-Linxweiler book, pg 238, family number 934, a new connection is found. The eighth child of Hans Nickel LEPPER and Anna Marie LEHNMEYER was a Catharina LEPPER who married Wilhelm KEIPPERT. The name of KEIPPERT is spelled various ways but is not to be confused with the name of KIEFERT. It is believed thither author of the Niederlinxweiler book mixed up Catharina GABLER; the wife of Hans Georg LEPPER, with Wilhelm KEIPPERT or in some other way got the name by mistake. In any case there was apparently a probate record of some kind dated 20 June 1737 where the widow of Hans Nickel LEPPER reported her son-in-law to the bailiff. It may have been part of this record that listed the daughter Catharina LEPPER who was then the wife of Wilhelm KEIPPERT.

 

In any case, the LEPPER connection instead of the GABLER connection, it was possible easily to take the family back three more generations in the Nieder-Linxweiler book. These generations can be verified in the church records if we wish. There are a few KEIPPERT families in the area of Germany to the northeast of Nieder-Linxweiler including the towns of Cronenberg and Heffen-Sulzbach.

 

Where at first the German Research Specialist in Salt Lake City had not thought we could extend these families further, he did find more leads (above) and so took the family back a couple more generations in the German records. There are records of Jettenbach back to 1742 and of Kaulbach on the east to 1728. Rechienbach on the south go back to 1660 and Bosenbach on the west goes back to 1709. Entries for Jettenbach (and the Metzger families) may be included in these towns. All it takes is more research.

    "Barnet DeWitt married Sara Van Tassel. She was the grand daughter of Catherine a Indian Princes who was the daughter of one of the best Indian Sachems.  Wyandance the Chief Sachem of his tribe became the Chief Sachem of the 12 tribes of Long Island."

 

-- Grandpa Artie stated that Grandpa Barnet was born and raised in the New Netherland (Colonies). I had never located any records that would prove this until I was given copies of the 2,000 sheets of Helen Perry's Collection [HPC] pages 34, 35, 36, &  63 and other records helped me prove the DeWitt stories that Grandpa Artie told. Grandpa told stories and sang about the White Cliffs of Dover and he told about a trading post on the Delaware River.

 

-- HPC, pg. 64 states: Peter DeWitt (father of Barnet) went to the area on the west side of South (Delaware) River 35 miles below Philadelphia, three miles west of Fort Amstel, where Pieter was taxed in 1676 as a property owner Appoquesia on Christiana Creek. He was back in Bushwick by 1704 as heir of the land of Pieter Jansen DeWi tt.

He had five children baptized in Sleepy Hollow Dutch Church between 1697 and 1708. Barent de Witt was Tax Collector of the district in which he resided in 1693 and 1694, and six of the receipts given him for money collected and paid in to Chidley Brooke the County Treasurer, are recorded in Liber 3 of Deeds page 232, Westchester County Register's office. In them he is first called Barnes White, then Barent Witt and finally Barent de Witt. The first three receipts designate the place as Weekersqueck and the other three call it Philipsburg.

Shortly after the baptism of Sara (daughter baptized March 30, 1708) the family must have moved away, as no further mention of the name appears in the records of the Sleepy Hollow Church, nor in the records of Philipsburgh. In Brodhead's Colonial Documents, published by the State of New York, Volume 3 page 659, appears an interesting affidavit dated August 14, 1689, sworn to by Barent de Witt, which shows that de Witt was a married man at that time. So it is possible that he might have had children earlier than 1697.

Notes for John (of Deleware) Ogle:

[From David L. Beckwith web page located at: http://www.smokykin.com/ged/f000/f37/a0003794.htm]

 

Young John Ogle early became aware of the difficulties which his family were likely to experience after the Restoration, and he undoubtedly had heard tales of adventures in the New World; and so when the opportunity was presented to him him, John Ogle joined Colonel Nicolls' expedition, bound for America.

 

In March 1664, the whole of the territory in America occupied by the Dutch on the Atlantic seaboard was granted by Charles II to his brother, the Duke of York, on the plea that it was British soil by right of discovery.  On 25 May 1664, Colonel Nicolls, with four ships, 300 soldiers and 450 men, sailed from Portsmouth.  The expedition arrived at New Amsterdam, and without firing a shot, Governor Stuyvesant surrendered the town on 29 August and promptly changed the name to New York.

Delaware had been origanally settled by Swedes, who quarrelled with the Dutch, who built Fort Casimir 6 miles from the Swedish Fort Christiana.  In 1654 Governor Rising brought a large number of colonists from Sweden; he took Fort Casimir, renaming it Fort of the Holy Trinity, in honor of the day of capture. Governor Stuyvesant, who later came down from New Amsterdam and recaptured the fort, renamed it New Amstel.

 

John Ogle, who had served under Captain Carr in Delaware, became a permanent resident of White Clay Creek Hundred, named from the deposits of white clay found along its banks.  John Ogle first resided at New Castle, where he was a large land-buyer; he afterwards lived at various sites on his extensive holdings.  He commenced acquiring land at an early date, probably as soon as the confusion of the conquest and the settlement of Indian troubles permitted it.

The first grant that John Ogle received was in February 1666, from Governor Nicolls, who had empowered the officers of Delaware to dispose of 'implanted' land there for the best advantage of the inhabitants.  The parcel known as Muscle Cripple was granted to Sgt Thomas Wollaston, John Ogle, John Hendricks and Herman Johnson.  It consisted of a part of 300 acres and was bounded by a creek at the head of Bread and Cheese Island and also by the plantations of Hans Bones and James Crawford.  Sgt Wollaston had been a comrad in arms, as had James Crawford of the adjoining plantation.  James Crawford, having gained some knowledge of medicine in the army, was known as 'Doctor' on the early assessment rolls.  His daughter Mary was later to marry into the Ogle family. Crawford was one of the heroes of the Nicolls expedition, his grant specifically stating that it was given 'in consideration of the good service performed by James Crawford, a soldier'.

 

The story of John Ogle is closely bound up whith that of his friends Thomas Wollaston and James Crawford, who took a liking to young Ogle and formed a friendship which continued throughout their lives.

The three friends settled on nearby plantations in New Castle County, where their wives survived them.  The Records of the Court of Newcastle give a picture of their lives after 1676.

The three are the foundation of the Ogle genealogy.  John Ogle's son Thomas married Mary Crawford, daughter of James.  Wollastaon connections appear in the fourth and fifth generations.  Joseph Ogle married Priscilla Wollaston, and their son Samuel married Deborah Wollaston.

 

An eye-witness account of the events of June 1675 has revealed something of the character of John Ogle of that period - swashbuckling, rash and reckless, with an amount of courage appropriate to the rough and tumble frontier environment. He was not one to be imposed on, especially by one of the Dutch who certainly did not amount to much in the eys of His Majesty's soldiers.  Under order of the Governor-General, the magistrates met at New Castle on 4 June 1675, and decided that it would be necessary to build a road across the marsh and to build a dyke in the marsh next to the town.  Another dyke across Hans Block's marsh was also thought necessary, and the inhabitants were orderd to assist in the project by contributing labour or money.  The project was strenuously opposed by the settlers because the dyke across Hans Block's marsh was an improvement to private property.  John Ogle was a leader of the objectors and peremptorily informed the magistrates that no dykes at all would be built under any such unfair conditions.  His objections stirred the people to great excitement in the church where the public meeting was held; and Ogle was put out of the church.  Mathys Smith and the Rev. Jacobus Fabricius took up the cause and as a result Ogle and Fabricius were arrested.  They were confined in a boat which was anchored nearby, where they continued their public imprecations.  Excitement was high, and they were eventually released.  Later Hans Block encountered Ogle on the street and was told that if the Finns had been drunk no good would have come from the incident.  It was an affront to constituted authority and called for severe disciplinary measures.

 

Conditions in New Castle were not good at that time; carousals, fights and robberies were the order of the day, and it wasn't a safe place for a stranger. William Edmunsdon, 'a Public Friend' visiting there, found it difficult to secure lodgings, 'the inhabitants being chiefly Dutch and Finns addicted to drunkenness', who refused to take him in, even though he had money.

 

Special warrants were issued by the Governor against Fabricius and Ogle, who with others had signed a remonstrance.  The two chief trouble makers were ordered to appear in the August Court, and the other signers before a later court.  Fabricius appeared and the proceedings resulted in the unfrocking of the troublesome person; Ogle, who conveniently fell sick, failed to appear, and no further action was taken against him.

 

After the excitement of the summer of 1675, Ogle proceeded to acquire more land, and the tract known as Hampton, on the south side of St. George's Creek, consisting of 300 acres, was confirmed to him by Governor Andross on 5 November 1675.

New Castle court records reveal that in February 1676 Ogle accused one of the Dutch residents of stealing his heiffer.  As one of the jurmen was Thomas Wollaston, the outcome was predictable.

 

The above incident marked the beginning of a series of court proceedings which involved John Ogle and James Crawford for the rest of their lives.  Ogle was an extensive producer of tobacco, and like other planters he was continually involved in financial and other difficulties.  Little ready money changed hands in those days, and the barter system was the common way of doing business.

Various deeds of the period after 1678 record transfers of extensive tracts of land to a number of Ogle's associates; among them, Swart Neuton's Island was transferred to John Darby of Maryland, and other lands to John Test and to Augustine Dixon.

In 1675 the Governor ordered the construction of highways, and the inhabitants of New Castle and the surrounding area, and on the south side of Christiana Creek were made responsible for constructing a highway from New Castle to Red Lyon between the first of January and the end of Frebruary.  The highway was to be a good passable one, twelve feet wide, and John Ogle was appointed overseer of the residenst around Christiana Creek.

 

On 25 August 1680, Thomas Wollaston of White Clay Creek wrote a letter to John Briggs of West Jersey which he gave to John Ogle for delivery.  Wollaston had a debt of three years standing against Briggs.  Ogle made the journey, stopping in New York, where 27 August he made an affidavit concerning the transaction. The affidavit began:  'John Ogle, aged thirty-two or thereabouts, . . . . .

The incident itself is not important, but Ogle's statement of his approximate age has been of crucial importance to ogle genealogy, as without it, it would have been impossible to connect him with absolute certainty to his Northumberland Family.

 

In November 1681 Ogle received a court order to take up 200 acres of land for each of his two sons, Thomas and John Ogle, and on 27 December 435 acres, called the 'Fishing Place', on Christiana Creek were surveyed on the warrant. On August of the following year, Northampton, a tract of 200 acres in White Clay Creek Hundred was surveyed for Ogle.  On 14 October 1683 more acres in Mill Creek Hundred were surveyed for him, and on 8 December Eagles Point in White Clay Creek Hundred was also surveyed.  This ended the accumulation of the original Ogle acreage, for in 1683 John Ogle died.

Notes for Elizabeth Wollaston:

[From David L. Beckwith web page located at: http://www.smokykin.com/ged/f000/f38/a0003871.htm]

 

Some genealogists have recorded Elizabeth's maiden name as Wollaston but no evidence has been located to substantiate this assumption.  Elizabeth apparently was a woman of good sense and competent in managing her affairs and looking out for her sons Thomas and John.  New Castle court records show that she was titheable, living on the north side of Christiana Creek, assessed with 1,000 acres.

 

In 1684 Elizabeth Ogle became a historical figure by her involvement in the border dispute between Lord Baltimore and William Penn.  Samuel Land, Sherrif of New Castle, sent a letter dated 30 May 1684 to Penn, reporting that Jones Erskine and Andrew Tilley, who lived near the Widow Ogle had been warned by Colonel Talbott, under orders from Lord Baltimore, that if they did not yield obedience to Lord Baltimore, he would not yield obediance to Lord Baltimore, he would in three weeks' time return and turn them out.  On his return he erected a fort near Christiana Bridge, six miles from New Castle.  This location is now marked by a bronze tablet - a State Historical marker.  The differences of Lord Baltimore and William Penn were settle, and Penn retained what had been claimed by the Governor.

1525 The ancestors of the Funks and the originally Mennonite (Anabaptist) came from the S.W. corner of Canton, Zurich, Switzerland and spent a generation or two in the German Rhineland.

The issue which most disturbed the authorities, was the refusal of the Anabaptist to bear arms, swear oaths or actively participate in the affairs of state.

 

1634 was the Funk's first association with the Annabaptist.

When Heinrich Funk of Ober Mettmenstetten married Cathrina, daughter of Hans Meyli, an Anabaptist leader in the Knonayu district of Zurich, Switzerland.

Heinrich and Cathrina had 14 children baptised in the reformed church of Zurich.

 

1645/47 Heinrick and Cathrina kept several of her brother, Martin's children.  Martin, an Anabaptist, had to flee the authorities.

 

1649 Census:  Mettmenstetten, Germany

         Heini and Cathrina are 37, ann 14, Jacob 12, Heini 11, Hans 10, Rudi 7, Heinrich 6, Elsbeth 1.

 

1650 In order to distinguish himself from the other Heinrick Funks, in Ober Mettmenstetten, Heinrick is referred to as "im Neu Haus"

 

The record of their marriage identifies Henrich as the son of Jacob, " Der Jungl ".

Cathrina as the daughter of Hans Meyli, " Der Tauffer " (Anabaptist).

 

1661 Three of Heinrich and Cathrina's children, Hans, Heinrich and Elsbeth, were serving with the Anabaptist in the German Palatineate.

 

1670 Census: Mettmenstetten, Germany

         Cathrina is listed with children, still at home: Jacob, Hans, Elsbeth and Margaretha.

 

Several authorities believe the son of this Heinrich, Heinrich II, is the emigrant who left Bonfeld in the Draichgauy Region in 1717. (of the Pa. and Lancaster County Va. )

Notes for Pieter Dewitt:

[Kathryn DeWitt Gazaway, [email protected]]

-- Ref HPC., pg 69 - age of Peter: Peter (2) DeWitt, not found of  Bapt.  records  or place of birth is realistically identified as an infant immigrant with his   father Pieter Janson in 1652.

 

-- HPC PG 330: P. 240 - Whereas Peter DeWit died interstate, letters of administration are granted to his wife Sarah Albertsen, Nov. 7, 1721. Her Ref: Voll. II. P. 240; Liber 9, pg. 264 of NEW YORK Hist Soc year 1892.

 

-- Tythables of New Castle (both sides of Delaware River) 1676:  Peter d'Witt - 1; Humphrey Nicollis - 1; Jan Barentse - 1;  Henrick Franssen - 1; Sybrant Janes -1; ect. ect.  -- (HPC, pg. 526 - Vol 13 of Gen. Mag. of NJ)

 

-- Notes from HPC, pg 70: ....Peter DeWitt is visualized as living on Manhattan Island until 1661, when at about ten years of age, he removed with father to the village of Boswyck on Long Island, then under construction.  Lived within the stockade, and helped work the exterior farm lands until about 1672, by which time he had married and his daughter Maria had been born. He was not found on records in Bushwick again until 1705.  It seems Peter DeWitt removed with Kin & friends from Long Island to the Delaware River area which is now  New Castle.

 

-- Look up - East India Company - (Dutch Trading Company) - Also it is thought that one of this Dewitt family ran a trading post in East Indies.

 

-- A Tax list of 1676 records Peter DeWitt as a property owner at Appoquemia on Christiana Creek. Living near Engelbert Lott

and Barnet Gerritsen of Long Island, Gerrison was co-worker with Peter Jansen DeWitt at Boswyck and married daughter of Direk Volckertsn. The Lotts were related also. HPC, pg 70.

 

-- HPC., 64 ADDENDA her Ref: Gen. Soc. of PA. Vol I. p. 31: This area, located on both sides of the South River and containing Fort Amstel and outlying Dutch farms, was established by the West India Company before 1623. Taken over by the English in 1664, it was soon recaptured by the Dutch to continue as a part of New Netherland until 1675 when, under treaty of peace made by Holland and England, it was ceded to England and renamed New Castle. In 1682, the area was added to William Penn's grant and became Newcastle County of the province of PA. Later was transferred to the provinces of Delaware and New Jersey.  Grandpa Artie told me this history and about William Penn. He talked of a trading Post that someone in the family owned. He talked about the Lott family and a family whose name made me think of a dentist. (Onderdonck?).

Notes for Pieter Janszen Dewit:

Taken from "History of Ulster County, New York" by Nathaniel Sylvester,1880

 

"Very few of the first Dutch settlers in America used the surname when writing their signatures. Indeed, very many, had no surnames. They were known by their baptismal names, and to distinguish them from others of the same name the fathers' baptismal names terminating in se or sen were added; as for example, Volkert Janse is Volkert, son of Jan. While on names, it may not be remiss to remark the absence of surnamed accounts for so many Vans in the Dutch nomenclature. In the course of time, and to conform to custom, one must have surname. Not knowing his father had any, a man would take the name of the place whence he emigrated. The Van, being a preposition in Dutch, signifying "of", was written with a small v."

"My grandfather Artie Franklin DeWitt was the family historian of his generation. Grandpa Artie selected me to be the one he would tell the family history to. He started telling me the family stories, spending at least 1 to 2 hours a day, four or five days a week, when I was about 4 months old. Grandpa would combine American history and bible stories with the DeWitt history, singing jingles and telling silly ditties to help me remember by word clues.

 

Grandpa said, "You may never be accepted into the Colonial Dames, but you must remember that you may be more eligible than some of their members."  The first DeWitt to land on American soil was Jans the Witt (deWitt), who was with Eric The Red.  The de Witt family came from Norway,  to the Netherland. Leaving Norway at the onset of the Black Plague (Black Death). The name de Witt was given to them because of their snow white hair.  The next known deWitt to come was Nicholas de Witt, who sailed at age 10 with Henderick Hudson on the Ship "Half Moon" in 1609.  The first of our line came to the Long Island area in the mid 1600's. He was very educated and could speak several languages --  Norwegian, Dutch, French, German and English. The ability to speak several languages was helpful. Later a group of  Frenchmen needed help in talking with  the Dutch officers. They appointed this deWitt to be their leader. Because they were having problems with the Indians, the early settlers were ordered to move and locate in a different area. This deWitt and these French settlers started a town later called Bushwick. This DeWitt was supposed to have a brother John who was "in trade",  who married in Long Island .

There were maybe three other brothers. One settled in Quebec where they first landed before sailing down to the New York area.  Some of the names and places connected with our early line are: Bush Wick, Miss Pat, Nordin, Miss Patches, Van Dyke, Lot, Courtell (Cortelyou), Collier (Calyer).  Until August of 1998 when I was given a copy of Helen Perry's collection, I had never seen records that could prove Grandpa Artie's family stories.  Helen Perry spent her life collecting DeWitt records from every state within the United States. Grandpa told about the Indian raid on Long Island, where several were killed and houses were burned. How the English took over Long Island and the settlers had to leave Long Island and how the Dutch came and took it back and they got to live there for a few more years.

 

I found no records that would confirm Grandpa Artie's stories until August of 1998 when I was given copies of about 2,000 page of the research that Helen Perry had done on the DeWitt family. Helen Perry's collection of  records covered all DeWitts in every state, within the United States. She spent her lifetime collecting these records."

 

Biography Of And Descent From Peter Jans de Wit, Organizer Of The Settlement Of Bushwick Patient & Able Leader In Its Successful Establishment

Composed by Andrew J. Provost Jr., Dabien, Connecticut, November 1952. (Helen Perry's Collection [HPC], page 12)

 

-- HPC, pg 12: Pieter Jans DeWit born in Holland about 1625, and came to New Amsterdam shortly before 1652. Baptized son: 26 Dec 1652 in Dutch Church, New Amsterdam.

 

-- HPC, pg 14: relates the same story my grandfather, Artie told me of the decision to establish and design towns, that could be defended from  the Indian raids. That our DeWitt was assigned to a group of Frenchmen and they established the town of  Bushwick. He drew a diagram of this town in 1947, while I was visiting in his home. The wicks or wicker (houses) were designed in the same fashion as the houses of the Long Island Indians.

 

-- HPC, pg 15,: 14 Mar 1661, The Lord General came and named town, Boswick.  Signed Oath of Allegiance in 1687, stating he had been here for 35 years confirming date of his arrival in the New Netherland.  Pieter Jans DeWitt, died in Bushwick, Long Island between 1701 an d. 1705, full of years.

 

-- HPC, pgs., 12 & 13: He married first, Dorothea Volckers, who died in 1658, as reported by him 12 Apr. 1660, to The Orphan's Court in New Amsterdam, expressing his intentions to remarry, and asked for the appointment of guardians for his four (4) children. The resulting proceedings, as given in "Original Records of Burgomasters and Orphan Masters," page 132 , are preserved as follows:

 

        "On the 15th, of April 1660, appeared before me Joannes Nevius, secretary of the Orphans Chamber of the City of Amsterdam in New Netherland, Pieter Jansen Witt, who in the presents of  Henderick Willemsen, the baker, and Jan Jansen van Breeste produced a petition presented to the Director General and Council of New Netherland, August 25, 1658, wherein he reports the death of his wife who left him four children, and his intent on to marry again, as well following the customs and manners of the country;  the property, after his wife's death, amounting to 3,200 fl. the florin at 20 stuyvers, of which is said children's share or half is 1,600 fl. He declares his conscience that there is no more and that no more would be found by impartial men; and administrators to take care of the property, so that said children may not be harmed in their interest, Hendrick Willemsen, the baker, and Jan Jansen van Breeste , binding for the afore said children's share of 1,600 fl.... . This was approved... A marginal note on petition dated 12 April 1660.. Gives wife's name Dorothy Volckers... that he promises to secure this money here at the Manhattans.....that the above mentioned be elected guardians of his four children, further to bring up the children, until they are of age or marry,  to board and clothe them and do all for them that an honest father is bound to do."

 

-- Pieter's second wife had died before 1698 and he may have married a third wife.

 

-- Name of father and mother:  Pieter Jans DeWitt seldom wrote his name with out adding the Jans or Jansen so this would indicate his father was named Jan DeWitt. His mother was probably named Catherine, because he named second born daughter Catherine. By this we can then assume that his wife's mother was named Maria because he named his first born daughter Maria.

 

-- HP pg 20: "His many years of service for the Bushwick people, Pieter Jans deWit was able to mold the group, diversified as it was as to ages, culture, possessions and nationalistic origins, into a band of loyal and efficient followers. His dealings with the occasional scandals and infractions that are found on record, his was always the pacifying and restoring influence. An example of his fine judgement in such matters is preserved in the town record of 12 Feb 1663, relating to a serious quarrel that erupted in two of the families, (one Scandinavian and the other Dutch or French)  which threatened to develop into a community scandal. Pieter at once summoned the heads of these families before him and some chosen associates where, in camera, after hearing the evidence, a decree was drawn up and presented that "the occurrence was null and void, without being recalled again at this nor at any time, under the penalty, for who shall first make mention or touches thereon of paying 25 guilders to the poor of Boswyck."  Pieter's philanthropic impulses are reflected in the record of 30 March 1662 which cites him as a contributor for the ransom of one Jacob Cray, who was held captive by the Turks.

 

-- 19 Aug 1675 - Boswyck Census: Pieter Janse Witt had 3 Polls

 

-- 23 Sep 1676 - Boswyck Census: Capt. Pieter Jansen Witt had 3 Polls

From "A Greenpoint Perspective" by Frank J. Dmuchowski

Chapter One:  The Discovery

 

     One can only guess as to whether it was it's high, pure white, sandy bluffed, shoreline offering a lofty position overlooking the river upstream from New Amsterdam, or it's peninsular like shape, creased with many creeks and tributaries that first attracted him to this finger of land along the East River. Certainly, Captain Pieter Janse Wit, of the Dutch West Indian Company saw great value in this tract of land. Otherwise, why would he so ardently negotiate it's purchase from the Keshaechqueren Indians in 1638, and then proudly write to the Dutch Governor, Pieter Stuyvestent, in 1660, "Fourteen Frenchmen with a Dutchman, Pieter Janse Wit their interpreter, have arrived here" (Felter, pp.17) in his petition to have this, and a larger parcel of land South and East declared the Township of Boswijck. Later, this territory would be known as Bushwick Township after the British took control from the Dutch.

     Perhaps Captain Wit saw the tract for its possible military value. The River on the West, Maspeth Kill

(later known as Newton Creek) on the North and East, and Norman's Creek (later known as Bushwick Creek) to the South surrounding it on three sides, and it's great salt marsh, that on high tide became a small bay, did give it a highly defensible position. This finger of land was dubbed by ship navigators of the time as, Green Point. This was due to the high bluff and green lushness of the point of land that grew out of the bank and jutted a considerable distance into the river at approximately the foot of present day Freeman Street. From here an attacking force coming downstream could be readily observed and challenged before it reached New Amsterdam proper. And, in the case of an attack on this position itself, there weren't very many places an enemy could easily, and surreptitiously, storm it by either water or land.

     Or, could it be, Captain Wit had seen something else! Could it be he saw a place whose Jack Pine forest and meadows, and fresh water creeks would provide a good life for his small band of explorer/settlers. Since a military complex was never built there, although later it would play a military role, and since Captain Wit latter settled there himself, One must then conclude the latter. Captain Wit would come to play a important role in providing leadership and direction to the emerging community of settlers.

Thus, began the recorded history of Greenpoint. Of course, the European explorers were not the first to see the beauty and abundance of this land. The Indians, according to the accounts of Greenpoint's earliest settlers, extensively used this area to hunt and fish. It's briny marshes attracted an abundance of water fowl, pan fish and shell fish. And , according to Indian tradition, a mighty, primeval, forest of pines, oaks and aspens used to exist there, attracting deer and other game in abundance. However, due to some act of nature, probably a lightening storm, the mighty forest was replaced by bush-like Jack Pine and small Oaks that populated the land when the European explorers first landed there. In fact, for generations afterward, ancient Indian trails formed the basis of the roads, such as they were, that separated the early settlers of Green Point with the rest of the world.

     The first Europeans to lay claim to this land were actually Huguenots. The Huguenots were French in origin who, a generation earlier, fled to the Netherlands in search of religious tolerance. However, the first to actually take up residence in the area that eventually became known as Green Point was not one of them. Instead it was the wily ~Dirck Volchertsen, referred to locally as "Dirck The Norman" because of his Scandinavian origin. He too apparently saw the great potential in this land. Dirck was a seagoing man, a ship's carpenter by trade, who sailed from Scandinavia to the New World. Dirck was, also, well known in Governor Stuyvestant's court. Court minutes show his name as both plaintiff and defendant in a number of proceedings. Although One would not have known at the time how important it was to Dirck, his most important victory came in 1644 when he challenged a certain Jan de Pree to title of a parcel of land in the Northern section of Boswijck Township. The Court ruled in his favor, thus Dirck obtained for himself a portion of the land he favored. A measure of Dirck's personal interest in this land is evident by the fact that he built the first house in Green Point only a year later in 1645, and became its first recorded resident. Dirck built a one and one half story Dutch type farmhouse, typical of the period, overlooking the river on a spot roughly at the present intersection of Calyer and Franklin Streets. The creek which ran by his farmhouse and emptied into a great salt marsh to the East, became known as Norman Creek. Norman Creek has since been filled in, but the present day Norman Avenue still remains as a testament to Dirck and his family. Although a seafaring man, after settling in Green Point, Dirck gave up the sea to focus all his attention to agriculture. He cleared the land, planted his crops and his orchards, and raised his sheep and cattle to become a prosperous, well regarded, settler of the New World. Here he remained until his death in 1718. Upon his death, Dirck's sons sold the land to seek out their own fortunes in the New World moving further into other parts of Brooklyn and New Jersey. Dirck must have imparted his pioneer vision and sense of leadership to his sons as it has been said of them, "..wherever they went they became men of affairs and influence". (Felter, pp.19)

     Captain Pieter Praa and other Huguenot families were not far behind old Dirck in settling in this land. Captain Praa established himself in Green Point, and, who like Dirck, gave himself over to an agricultural life. As Captain Praa had a military background, he was able to use these skills by playing an important leadership role in the new agricultural community that sprung up at Green Point. The Praa family would be influential in the affairs of Green Point for generations. It was here that Captain Praa and his ancestors would, for nearly 200 years, find an idyllic life fitting the name of Green Point.

     The Praa's and Volchertsen's, together, with the Mesorole's, Calyer's, Provoost's, and Bennet's formed the core of settler farmer families that lived and flourished on the land consisting of Green Point. They and their ancestors would do so for almost 200 years. The fertile land provided enough to supply the needs of the families that toiled on the land, and an abundant excess to trade at nearby markets. Each family kept a large row boat on the river to transport their harvest to the markets downstream in the emerging cities of Williamsburg and Brooklyn, and across the river in New York. Thus, Green Point became a major agricultural center and breadbasket for the area. It's grains, cereals, fruits, vegetables and livestock made it possible for others to take up other trades in the New World, and contributed to the overall success of the pioneer efforts of that era.

     What did Green Point look like to those Dutch and French explorers? Figure 1 is a map of Green Point as it may have looked in 1638. The map is based on descriptions and locations provided by William L. Felter in, Historic Green Point , published by the Green Point Savings Bank in 1918 commemorating its 50th Anniversary. From the East River imagine standing at the foot of present day East 23rd Street in Manhattan looking across the river at the opposite shoreline. Now interpose a view of the North Shore of Long Island around, for example, Northport or Port Jefferson, with its high banked headland, and white sand beaches. If you then launched a boat into the river, crossing it to enter the mouth of Newtown Creek, known at the time as Maspeth Kill, and sailing East you would pass by high banks until around the foot of present day Manhattan Avenue. From here the banks diminished in height into a great salt marsh that extended East and South toward Maspeth Creek to a point just south of the present day Greenpoint Avenue bridge. The marsh, now filled in many years ago, was known as the Back Meadows. Inland from its boundaries on the Kill, it formed an irregular triangle whose apex was roughly at the intersection of present day Driggs Avenue and Humbolt Street. Continuing our journey South along Maspeth Kill, once passing Back Meadow, the bank rose again and continued past the point of the old Penny Bridge, just south of the present day Meeker Avenue and Kosciusko Bridge.

     Now, let's change course by turning around and going back up the Creek to the river. Once on the river, let's sail south along the high banks of the shoreline towards New Amsterdam at the Southern tip of Manhattan Island. Just South of the confluence of Maspeth Kill and the river, we must be careful as not to run aground on Green Point. For as Felter wrote in 1918, "Near where the foot of Freeman Street now lies, a point of land jutted abruptly beyond the shoreline into the river for a considerable distance." (Felter, pp.14) This point of land, covered with green grass, was a favorite landmark used by the sailors in those days to safely navigate the river, which they dubbed, "Green Point". Once safely around Green Point, we continue South until we see what appears, on high tide, to be a small bay extending inland for some distance East, South East to a point that takes in all of the present day McCarren Park. However, on low tide we would, instead, see the mouth of the channel of Norman's Kill, later known as Bushwick Kill that cut a path down the middle of the sedge and marsh grass of the salt marsh. All that remains to this day is what is known as Bushwick Inlet, a small inlet from the river terminating at the intersections of Quay Street and Franklin Avenue. During the course of our journey we would have noticed the crystal clear water of the river and creeks and would have seen the abundance of both finned and shell fish. More than likely we would have stopped somewhere to enjoy a seafood shore lunch. Although originally used to describe the point of land jutting out into the river, Green Point was to come to describe the entire peninsular extending from Maspeth Kill (Newtown Creek) to the North and East and Norman's Kill (Bushwick Creek) to the south.

     Continuing our journey, we sail into the mouth of Norman's Kill and follow its deep channel inland, through the salt marsh and into the woods, until the channel narrows and becomes shallow. However, before we run out of navigable water, we notice a small clearing on the creek's bank and land our boat at a spot approximately where present day Guernsey Street and Driggs Avenue intersect. Now, on shore, and walking into the woods, we would come upon one of the ancient Indian trails in the area. This trail, heading East formed an upland bridge between the marshlands of Norman's Creek to the West and the Back Meadow in the East. The trail followed a path roughly along present day Driggs Avenue to the intersection of where Humbolt Street currently lies. Later the settlers would name the clearing on the Kill, Wood Point Landing, and the path as Wood Point Road, Green Point's sole public highway until 1838. Walking East on the path, and just before we reached the apex of the Back Meadow, we would come upon the intersection of another path that ran from Southeast to Northwest toward the confluence of the river and Maspeth Kill. Later this path would be used by the settler farmers in the Northern end of Green Point as a farm path, with gates in between the individual farms in order to reach Wood Point Road, and points beyond. Later still, the path on its northern end would become Green Point's first business district, Franklin Avenue, and the "main street" of the emerging village of Green Point. Upon reaching this intersection, we would have nearly traversed the entire circumference of Green Point.

     It was in this environment that Dirck Volchertsen, Captain Pieter Praa, and the Dutch settlers that followed, would build their homes, raise their children, and begin the agricultural phase of Greenpoint's history. (Chapter Two is included in Dirck Volckertzsen's notes)

Notes for Henry (of Eglingham) Ogle:

[From David L, Beckwith web page located at: http://www.smokykin.com/ged/f000/f37/a0003796.htm]

 

Henry Ogle of Eglingham was one of the sequestrators for land for the parliament in 1643 and on the 29th of November, 1644, was a deputy lieutenant for the county.  He was a stong parliamentarian and in 1650 he entertained Cromwell at Eglingham, and the room where his guest slept is still standing at the Hall.  He was a representative for the county in the Little Parliament 1653, and was again returned as such on 4 September 1654.  Henry's name occurs frequently as Captain Henry Ogle in State Papers, and he seems to have been very active; it seems proble that prior to the Restoration in 1660 he made over some of his property in case he should have been deprived but however that may be, on 20 June 1668, he entailed his property on his two grandchildren, with remainder to his own sons.

 

Administration of his estate not completed 18 August 1697.

Notes for Jan Dewitt:

DUTCH PATRONYMICS OF THE 1600s  by Lorine McGinnis Schulze

 

The Dutch were much slower than the English in adopting surnames as we know them.  Patronymics ended theoretically under English rule in 1687 with the advent of surnames, but not everyone followed the new guidelines. In the Netherlands,  patronymics ended mostly (especially Friesland) during the Napoleantic period around 1811 when everyone had to register and select a family name.

The most common Dutch naming custom was that of patronymics, or identification of an individual based on the father's name. For example, Jan Albertszen is named after his father, Albert. Albertszen means son of a man named Albert.  The patronymic was formed by adding -se, -sen, or -szen. Daughters would very often have the ending -x or -dr. added. For example, Geesjie Barentsdr. (Barentsdochter) is named after her father Barent.

An individual could also be known by his place of origin. For example, Cornelis Antoniszen, my 9th great- grandfather, was known in some records as 'van Breuckelen', meaning 'from Breuckelen'  (Breuckelen being a town in the Netherlands). The place-origin name could be a nationality, as in the case of Albert Andriessen from Norway and my 9th great-grandpa, originator of the Bradt and Vanderzee families - he is entered in many records as Albert Andriessen de Noorman, meaning the Norseman.

Thus we see naming differences over the generations: Albert's sons and daughters took the surname BRADT except for his son Storm, born on the Atlantic Ocean during the family's sailing to the New World. Storm adopted the surname Van Der Zee (from the sea) and this is the name his descendants carry.

An individual might be known by a personal characteristic:  e.g. Vrooman means a pious or wise man; Krom means bent or crippled; de Witt means the white one.

Notes for King of France Louis I of Aquitaine:

[David L. Beckwith web page]

Louis I 'The Pious', Emperor Of The Holy Roman Empire in 814 succeeded his father Charlemagne. In 817, he arranged for the succession after his death by dividing the empire among his three sons. After his first wife died, Louis married again, and a fourth son, Charles, was born. Louis redivided his empire in 829 in order to give Charles a share. The older sons resented the new division and revolted. Louis was removed from the throne in 833, but was restored the next year. The bitter struggle between his sons continued until Louis died.

 

The name Louis means 'famous warrier'.
