Anna Margarata may have died on the ship from Germany to the United States
Frank G. WALTERMIRE of 1811 Bradmore Drive, Houston, TX 77077 wrote a letter to a Mr. WALTERMIRE with a list of questions. He states that the reason for his great interest is "a silk and linen table cloth bearing a coat of arms which has been passed down to me through eight generations. It has been inherited by either the oldest or youngest WALTERMIRE son, who had a son. The cloth is dated "1746" in each of its four corners. In its center appears a royal coat of arms which belonged to Augustus III of Saxony, Germany. The capital of Saxony is now Dresden. The cloth was brought to the United States by Ludewigh WALTERMIRE (the name is spelled ten or more different ways). Ludewigh and his two sons, George and David, emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1752. They embarked from Rotterdam and sailed aboard the Phoenix. I have variously heard that the family came from Baden, Dresden or from Bischweiler, Alsace (now part of France). My branch of the family originally settled near York, Pennsylvania. Another branch of the family settled near Albany."
December 1983, The WALTEMEYER Family, compiled by Betty Haines BROWN for my Daughter-in-Law, Roxanne FISHER HAINES: Ludwig WALTEMEYER. Ludwig WALTEMEYER arrived November 2, 1752 at Philadelphia on the ship "Phoenix," John Spurrier, Commander. The ship sailed from Rotterdam, last from Portsmouth, England. See enclosed copy of the passenger list. Most German emigrants traveled down the Rhine River to Rotterdam, Holland to board a ship for America. The ship usually stopped at a port in England before sailing for America. The names of Johan George and David WALTEMEYER are also listed on the passenger list. Johan George and David were sons of Ludwig. The WALTEMEYER Family file at the Historical Society of York County Library contains a copy of part of a letter written by a great grandson of Ludwig's, Samuel WALTEMEYER of Muskingum County, Ohio, it relates the following about his ancestors: April 15, 1891. I (Samuel) was born May 10, 1803, at or near what was then known as Little York (now York) in York County, Pennsylvania, and I am a son of Michael and Margaret MUSSER WALTEMEYER of Muskingum County, Ohio. George WALTEMEYER, my grandfather and his father came to America from Germany when George was about 16 years of age. His mother died at sea while they were coming across the ocean, and his father married in America but I do not know to whom. My grandfather lived for a time about three miles from Little York from whence he moved on land near Zanesville, in Muskingum County, Ohio and died there before the war of 1812. The letter continues giving descendants of Samuel. On June 12, 1753 Ludwig married Sophia Dorothea NAGLIN at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The marriage is recorded as follows, Ludwig WALDENMAJER, widower and Sophia Dorothea NAGLIN, single married June 12, 1753 by Pastor GEROCK. The record lists the residence of Ludwig in Germany as Sulzbach on the Kocher (Kocher River) which is located in Baden where many of the early immigrants originally came from. Ludwig's will was probated January 14, 1783 and is recorded at the York County Court House (see enclosed copy) in will book F, page 77, his wife Anna Margaret is mentioned. It appears that Ludwig married three times, it is my theory that Sophia Dorothea died sometime after 1774. A record of her death could not be found. It is possible Ludwig did not remain in Lancaster County very long, he probably crossed the Susquehanna soon after his marriage to Sophia Dorothea and settled in York County. A marriage for a Catharine WALTENMAJER is recorded at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster. It is recorded as follows, Martin SCHITTENHELM and Catharine WALTENMAJER, single, married April 20, 1762. Martin's residence is given as Bezweyler, Germany. I suspect that Catharine may have been a daughter of Ludwig and his first wife. Passenger lists sometimes list the names of men, women, and children, the Phoenix listed only the men. In my search I found the WALTEMEYER spelled various ways, this is not unusual. Many early immigrants could not read or write, the English were in charge of the new country and often wrote the German name the way it sounded. Note Ludwig, Johan George and David WALTEMEYER's name is spelled HALTEMEYER on the passenger list, they made their mark, they could not write, probably the English agent wrote their name or another passenger on the ship wrote the name. Those who could not read or write often depended on the local pastor and school teacher to read and write for them, thus one finds various spellings of names.

Neckarweihinger, Germany - WALTERMIRE village. A Yahoo search turned up Neckarweihinger as a street in Ludwigsburg, Germany, a small city just north of Stuttgart. I do not know if there is really a WALTEMYER connection here.....

Philip was an Innkeeper in Yorktown, PA
Philip was christened on 28 Apr 1754 at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lancaster County, PA. PA German Church Records, v. 1, p. 25: Philipp Eberhart Waldemayer, so/o Ludwig and Juliana Dorothea Waldemayer b. 1 Apr 1754, baptized 28 Apr 1754.
From a letter written by Betty E. BROWN, R.D.3 Box 100, Felton, PA 17322 to her daughter-in-law, Roxanne FISHER HAINES in December 1983 (see Synopsis under Ludwig WALTEMYER above). Philip WALTEMEYER, son of Ludwig (your 6th great grandfather) lived in York. He was a carpenter and had an Inn. According to the York Gazette, Philip died 13 August 1829 in York, his age is given as ca. 77, apparently his exact age was not know. Philip's Inn was located on the south side of High Street, now Market St., in York. He also owned lot 205 on South George St. It is not known if Philip rented the property on South George St. or resided there. I suspect he resided at the Tavern. Philip and Anna Maria, also called Mary and Polly SCHNEIDER WALTEMEYER had a son named Ludwig (Lewis) born 1 December 1774, he was your 5th great-grandfather. Enclosed in this booklet are incomplete family group sheets, copies of wills, passenger list, maps, sketches from the Lewis MILLER book, and census records to help give you a better understanding of the WALTEMEYER Family History which I enjoyed compiling. Very few records are available about your 5th great grandfather, Ludwig and your 4th great grandfather Jacob, except birth, death and census records. According to family hearsay your 3rd. great grandfather served in the Civil War, I was unable to substantiate the hearsay, I doubt that he served in the Civil War. - See Adam WALTEMEYER - Civil War records - 8A.
