WEBSTER-VAN VALKENBURGH

A very beautiful wedding ceremony was that of Miss Ruth Van Valkenburgh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Van Valkenburgh, of Deer Creek, to Reo Webster, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Webster, of deer Creek, which occurred at the Methodist Church, Wednesday morning, August 12, at 8 O'clock, with Rev. C. E. Vasey, officiating.

Miss Lois Van Valkenburgh and Miss Rachael Webster were bridesmaids and Miss Lauvera Lehman, maid of honor. Little Mabel Van Valkenburgh, ring bearer, was daintily attired in a yellow ensemble. Ralph Webster was groomsman. Glenwood Van Valkenburgh and William Latscrar were ushers.

The wedding march was played by Miss Frances Dester and vocal selections given by Miss Alpha Van Valkenburgh.

Immediately following the ceremony a reception was given at the Van Valkenburgh home to fifty-six guests. A dainty lap breakfast prepared by Mrs. A. M. Van Valkenburgh and Miss Clara Latschar was served. Out-of-town-guests were Mrs. M. J. Van Valkenhurgh, of Atlanta, Georgia; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Van Valkenburgh, of Danville, Kansas; Mr. and Mrs. James Teter, of Blackwell; Mr. and Mrs. Roy Webster and family, of Lamont; Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Gibson, of Addington; Misses Loretta and Verine Van Valkenburgh, of Harper, Kansas; and Mr and Mrs. Emmett Lyons and family, of Blackwell.

Mr. and Mrs. Reo Webster left soon after the reception for the Ozarks, where they expect to remain for about ten days. 1901 - 1948 Roswell Reo Webster 47 47 Reo worked in Deer Creek Mercantile as a butcher and one of the main workers. He moved to his dad's old place and farmed for one summer. He had health problems and died at 47. Reo went to work after the eighth grade.

 1873 - 1924 Catherine (Cassie) Ann Teter 50 50 She lived in St. Claire County, Illinois, Caldwell, Kansas, and Deer Creek.

In the 1900 census they were listed in Falls Township, Sumner, Kansas.

In the 1910 census they were listed in Bryan Township, Grant County, Oklahoma.

The Obituary of Katherine Anna Teter states she was converted in early childhood and united with the Methodist Church. She was Sanctified several years ago and she was a living example of Bible Holiness. Her life was a life of sacrifice and service for others. She was loved and respected by all who knew her. She was active in all lines of church work. Katherine (Cassie) was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a loyal friend and a splendid neighbor. The outstanding characteristics of her beautiful life was her consecrated devotion to Christ and His Kingdom.
 1867 - 1947 Roswell Estridge Webster 80 80 Estridge lived in Hillsboro, Caldwell KS, and Deer Creek.

In the 1893 land run, Rosswell Estridge Webster, E.F. Webster's eldest son, found a claim near Lamont and drove a stake with his name on it in the center of the land. But while he was searching for the corner markers set by the surveyors, he found someone else standing guard to protect "his" land from claim jumpers. So Estridge returned to Caldwell. He farmed there at the farm they lived at before the run.

On March 4, 1894, Roswell Estridge married Catherine Teter, who lived east of Caldwell. The returned to Oklahoma in 1903, bought 80 acres of land, (S 1/2 of NW 1/4 1-26-4) and lived there for many years.
 1840 - 1934 Elijah Franklin Webster 93 93 Homestead: F3 Lots 3,4,5 and SE/4 NW/4 06 26N3W25 June 1901

Elijah was the youngest son of Thomas and Elizabeth Pulse Webster born in 1840 in Highland Co. Ohio. Elijah at one time joined two brothers in operating a General Merchandise Store in Fairfax, Ohio. At another time he was a salesman for Patent Medicines traveling by Horse and Buggy out of Cincinnatti, Ohio.

He did not involve himself in the Civil War. It was said that he hired a substitute (as was done by many men in the 1860s) to take his place in the Army. Two brothers and a nephew did serve in the Civil War.

Elijah did join a group called the "Squirrel Hunters" who were a loose organization of Farmer Patriots who took on the task of seeking out and capturing OUTLAWS who were preying on farmers, stealing livestock, destroying crops and other property, and in some cases murdering farmers and their families. "Squirrel Hunters" were recognized with Certificates of Appreciation and Participation after the War.

On July 24, 1879, The Concord IOOF-Sugar Tree Lodge No. 684 was organized. Charter members included E. F. Webster, L. F. Webster, and John Webster. Officers for 1880 included John Webster, N. G.

It was only five years later that E. F. Webster Family migrated to Sumner Co. Kansas in 1885 settling near Caldwell, Kansas. Elijah married Marry Elizabeth Ridings on Dec. 28, 1865 after the end of the Civil War. They were married at the village of Hollowtown in Clay Township, Highland County, where the Samuel Ridings Family resided.

Elijah took up farming in the Allensburg area near several brothers. All of their children except Elizabeth Ellen, were born in Highland County. In 1885, the Elijah Webster Family joined with the William Hanby Ridings family in migrating to Sumner County, Kansas.

The Websters settled temporarily in the Corbin, Kansas area a few miles east of Caldwell. The Ridings family settled in Caldwell. In 1885, Caldwell was still a rough town as a railhead for shipment of cattle driven from Texas over the Chisholm Trail.

The Websters farmed in the Corbin area but did not purchase land. In 1893, the Cherokee Outlet or better known as the Cherokee Strip was being opened for settlement. Caldwell became one of the staging areas for those hoping to stake a Claim in the new territory.

In September 1893, Elijah, his sons Leroy and Estridge and daughter Salena (Lena) made the run into the new territory and staked claims about 10 miles or so south of the Kansas border south of Caldwell. They all staked Claims close to each other north of Lamont and near what later became Deer Creek and Numa.

Estridge found another man had also staked on the same tract he was on and the man was a family man and Estridge was single so he vacated and returned to Caldwell-Corbin where he farmed on the land where the Websters had been living. He remained there for several years and married and later came to the Webster area and purchased a relinquished Claim.

Elijah and Mary Elizabeth Webster became leading citizens of the area and established a worship group first in their home and then a Sod Chapel was built known as Webster Chapel in 1894. In 1901 a frame Church was built to replace the Sod Church. Elijah and Mary Elizabeth were devout leaders in this new Webster Chapel and it became a Methodist Denomination and was a Charge on a Methodist Circuit.

This was a House of Worship for Websters and their neighbors until the death of Mary Elizabeth in 1921. After her death, the Chapel Building was moved into Deer Creek and attached to the Methodist Church there. The Chapel is still a part of the Deer Creek Methodist Church Building but is unused as the Methodist Church was closed some years ago by the Oklahoma Conference.

The Ralph Webster Family purchased the Church Property. As far as is known, the sons of Ralph still own the property.

In Oklahoma territory, Elijah was a Farmer-Rancher and a leader in the community. Elijah was a staunch Republican and had a deep interest in Politics. He cast his first vote in Ohio for Abraham Lincoln. He was proud of his voting record. He read newspapers thoroughly even in later years when he had to use a Reading Glass. He was hard of hearing in his late years.

After the death of Mary Elizabeth he lived with his children, each a month at a time. The Webster home was also a gathering place for social activities. Mrs. Webster (better known as Grandma) had a carpet loom in her home, and wove carpet and rugs for people for miles around. The people furnished the materials and Grandma wove it into 36 inch strips, then it was sewn together to make room size carpets.

---------------------------
Elijah Franklin Webster, youngest son of Thomas Webster and Elizabeth (Pulse) Webster, was married to Mary Elizabeth Ridings, daughter of Samuel and Catherine (Ambrose) Riding in Highland County, Hillsboro, Ohio, in 1865. They lived on a farm west of Hillsboro, Ohio, where six children were born. In 1885, they moved by train, from Ohio, and settled in the Caldwell, Kansas area.

In 1886, another child, Elizabeth Ellen, the youngest of seven children was born. On September 16, 1893, the Cherokee Outlet was open for homesteading. Elijah Franklin Webster (better known as E. F. Webster) and three of his children made the ''run'' from the state border south of Caldwell. E. F. Webster, L. E. Wester, and F. Salena Webster staked on ground about half-way between Lamont and Deer Creek. E. F. Webster filed on and proved upon the NW 1/4 S 6 T26N R3W. This was their home the rest of their lives together.

After Mary Elizabeth's death in 1921, E. F. spent the winter months with his two daughters who lived in Blackwell, and the summer months with his sons, Roy, Lew, and Estridge on their farms. He lived to be 93 years old, dying in 1934.

L. E. Webster, better known as Roy, filed on and proved upon the SE 1/4 S 6 T26N R3W. In November, 1897, he married Estelle Mitchell. They lived on this quarter most of their lives, raising six children there, then retiring in Blackwell.

F. Salena Webster filed on and proved up on the SW 1/4 S ? T26N R3W. In March, 1898, Salena married Hiram S. Beaumont, who had made the run, and had filed and proved up on the SW1/4 S 6 T26N R3W where they lived until moving to Sheridan, Wyoming in August of 1914. They retained ownership of these properties.

Rosswell Estridge Webster, E. F. Webster's eldest son, staked a claim, but someone else had also staked it, so he returned to Caldwell, Kansas. On March 4, 1894, he married Catherine Teter, who lived east of Caldwell. They returned to Oklahoma in 1903, bought 80 acres of land, the S 1/2 of the NE1/4 S 1 T26N R4W and lived there for many years.

In 1904, another son, L. F. Webster, better known as Lew (who was too young to make the run) married Minnie Dorman, daughter of W. W. Dorman of Nardin, Oklahoma. They bought 160 acres, the NE 1/4 S36 T27N R4W. They lived on this farm until a tornado destroyed their buildings in 1954. They then moved to Lamont, and lived until their deaths.

On April 10, 1907, Elizabeth Ellen Webster was married to Emmet Lyon of the Nardin and Eddy, Oklahoma communities. They lived in Amarillo, Texas, for a time; returned to the Eddy-Nardin communities to live on various farms, later moving to Blackwell to make their home until their deaths.

On October 15, 1912, another daughter, Mary Jane, married James W. Teter and lived on a farm south of Deer Creek for several years. In 1916 they moved to Blackwell to live until their deaths. Before Janie, as she was called, was married, she gave piano lessons at home as well as driving for miles in a one horse buggy to give lessons to the children in the community.

One son, Hayward, drowned in the Pond Creek River one mile west of Lamont on July 24, 1895.

The E. F. Webster family was influential in the religious life of the community. They held church services in their home for several months. George James donated about 2 acres of land on the northwest corner of the NW 1/4S5-T21 - R 3W. A sod church was built. Services were held in it until 1900 when a frame church was built. It was called Webster Chapel. Sunday School and preaching services were held in it until about 1921 when the building was moved into Deer Creek and became the north wing of the present Methodist Church there.

In addition to the Websters being an inspiration in the community religious life, their home was the gathering place for social activities. Mrs. Webster (better known as Grandma) had a carpet loom in her home, and wove carpet and rugs for people for miles around. The people furnished the materials and Grandma wove it into 36 inch strips, then it was sewn together to make room size carpet.

This family of Websters struggled through all the hardships common to all the early settlers. People of those days raised most of their vegetables, meat, chickens, milk and butter, made their bread, spreads, and canned fruits from small orchards.

The schools were a one room building, with all eight grades in one room, and one teacher for all eight grades. The E. F. Websters had a beautiful peach and apple orchard on their farm where many people in the community came to get fruit. Mrs. Ralph Webster, "History of Grant County Families, " 1980. 1796 - 1860 Elizabeth Pulse 63 63 Moved to Ohio in 1817 with her family (David Pulse family.)
 1790 - 1863 Thomas Fendel Webster 72 72 "Thomas Webster, the ancestor of the family in Highland county, was a native of Maryland, where he married Elizabeth Pulse. Soon after their marriage they came to Marshall township, and bought a small tract of land in large part with money he had saved while employed at Washington, D. C. After a few years he moved with his family to Dodson township, where he and his wife both died at the age of about fifty-five years. Their children, ten in number, were William, George, Thomas, deceased ; John and Lewis, of Fairfax township; Eliza, living in Oklahoma; Sarah, deceased; James of Wilson, Ohio; Julia, of Blue Creek, Adams County, and Elizabeth, deceased."

 1703 - 1753 Benjamin Fry 50 50 He moved to Frederick County, Virginia 1743. His sons William, Abraham, Benjamin, and Samuel migrated into Westmoreland and Washington County, Pennsylvania.

Benjamin FREY I, born 1701/2 in Philadelphia Co., PA, was the fifth of seven sons born to Heinrich Frey and Anna Catharine Levering. About 1720 Benjamin married Christen Ann Markley, and they had nine children, all born In Pennsylvania. As was common practice at that time, Jacob, the eldest son of Heinrich was to inherit all the estate, and the other sons were left to make their own way in the world.

Land was becoming scarce in eastern Pennsylvania, and Benjamin had six sons who were also desiring to obtain land of their own. As the flow of German/Swiss emigrants increased, and desirable land became more scarce, it caused concern for the people of English descent, and German emigrants felt they had to look elsewhere for a place to resettle. Shenandoah Valley, which lay in northwestern Virginia, between the Allegany Mountains to the west and the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east, remained unsettle.

Lord Thomas Fairfax (1693 - 1781), an English nobleman, who through his mother, a Culpepper, had inherited a large tract of land between the Rappahannock and Potomac River, but the exact extent of the grant was not really known. As explorers reached the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains they saw the vast, virgin expanse of the valley, laced with two forks of the Shenandoah River. As their accounts of this rich country reached Lord Fairfax, and the Governor of the Colony of Virginia, the decision was made to survey the princely domain of Fairfax. Lord Fairfax developed a plan to offer cheap homesites to families who would come to the wild and uncultivated land to settle.

Beginning in 1730, several prominent men were granted thousands of acres in Shenandoah Valley to act as agents to procure settlers. Joist Hite, who married Anna Maria Merkle (Markley), Benjamin's brother-in-law, credited with being one of the first white men to settle in Shenandoah Valley, was granted 20,000 acres. Paul Froman, who married Joist Hite's daughter, Elizabeth, came to the valley about 1732, and selected for their homestead a large tract of land on the north side of Cedar Creek. They were known to belong to the Quaker Society, and they lead a large movement of the Germans to come and settle here. John Richards received 500 acres from the Colony of Virginia 12 Nov 1735. The tract, (#137) located on both sides of Cedar Creek, is approximately three miles south of Mountain Falls.

Benjamin Frey had heard stories from friends of the Quaker families who had gone to Shenandoah Valley, as well as the returning Moravian missionaries, of the cheap rich land being promoted as the "Promised Land", and decided that was the place to go. On June 18, 1744, John Richards sold his 500 acre tract to Benjamin for 160 pounds. An older brother, Abraham, also came to settle here at the same time. Another older brother, William Frey, who had remained in Pennsylvania, was a member of the Moravian religious movement which sent a number of their missionaries into the Virginia frontier from 1743 to 1753.

May 13, 1751 Benjamin Fry of Cedar Creek ..."in consideration of Love good will & affection which I have & do bear toward my loving son Joseph Fry " a parcel of land on Cedar Creek bounded by Abraham Fry's plantation "...with all Moveable Chattels such as Horse Mares, cows, sheep & swine...". On November 6, 1753 Benjamin Frey's will was probated in Frederick County, Virginia with his sons, Abraham and Henry Frey, as executors, and proved November 10, 1753.

In 1803 in company with Hanna Teter and her husband Peter Mitchell, Barbara Teter and husband Daniel Shook and Issac Griffen followed up Silver Creek to where they settled on farms south of Freeburg, Ill., near the creek, were successful farmers, raised large families and became prominent citizens and were members of the Baptist faith.

"The colony which came to Illinois at that time included a large number of families, among whom were the Teters, Carrs, Millers, Strouds, and Eymans. They floated down the Ohio River from Brownsville, Pennsylvania, to Shawneetown, and thence made their way across the country to Kaskaskia, where they arrived on July 4, 1797. Their journey across Southern Illinois was full of difficulties. Nothing but an Indian trail at that time led from Shawneetown to Kaskaskia. They were compelled to swim streams swollen with recent rains. Their household goods, with the women and children, were ferried over on temporary rafts. No trace of a white man was seen till they reached Kaskaskia."

Biography by Professor Joseph M. Kellogg

Abraham Teter was born in 1770, (since in the Personal Tax lists it is seen that he was not over 16 years old in 1786, but was over 16, but under 21, in 1787). He first appears for himself separately in these lists in 1790 and continues so there in Pendleton County through 1796.

On December 23, 1788, Abraham Teter located 66 acres on both sides of Seneca Creek and the North Fork, between two tracts of his own land. (Pendleton County Location book No. 1, page 2). "His own land" in this case was that he inherited from his father Paul Teter.

On February 10, 1791, he had surveyed 130 acres, "on both sides of Seneca creek and on both sides of the North Fork between and adjoining his former land at the mouth of Seneca." (Pendleton Survey book A, page 31). No doubt this tract included that located as mentioned above. A patent for this ___ tract was granted him on July 22, 1794 (Virginia Land book No. 30, page 610).

An interesting letter from Moses Henkel, surveyor of Pendleton County, mentioning Abraham and other Teters is preserved in the records of the Augusta County Court and is published in the Chalkley records, vol. 1, page 483. It runs as follows:

Sir:
I understand that you are much dissatisfied about the land I surveyed for Abraham Teter, on the North side of Seneca joining his own land, saying I promised to send you word before I surveyed it. I remember of promising not to survey it before Andrew Johnson would return from Rockingham, who was to bring your entry, and Andrew returned and brought no entry, and moreover old George Teter searched Lewis' records and found no such entry as you spoke of, and the widow Teter demanded the surveying of the same, and as Abraham had the oldest entry by warrant, I thought myself in duty bound to survey it, neither saw I any occasion to send for you when I knew you had no entry for the land. ******I am ready, at your demand, to survey 100 acres for you on Seneca, above Abraham Teter's land, for your entry is now made by warrant, for I have lately obtained a warrant for you from Colonel Hamilton. I desire that you be moderate in your censures, and whether or not, I am your hearty well wisher and obsequious,

M. Henkle

Addressed to Mr. William Gragg, Sr. on Seneca.

That there was further dispute about this property is shown by the record of the Circuit Court Docket Book (Pendleton County), where on September 6, 1799, the suit of Abraham Teter vs. William Gragg, administrator was tried and decided. The Sheriff's return is "satisfied". Costs were $2.90.

On September 6, 1794, Abraham Teter appears on a roll of militia for Pendleton County in Captain William Gragg's Company. (Morton's History of Pendleton County, page 400); and his name also is on the list of those who voted a the elections in Pendleton County, in 1789, 1791 and 1792 - for Congressman, senator, assemblyman, etc.

In the year 1797, Abraham Teter removed from Pendleton County, and went west to Illinois. He was accompanied by his mother, his sisters, and possibly others of the family. Before leaving it was necessary, of course, to dispose of his property in Pendleton County and on March 6, 1797, Abraham Teter and wife Mary, and his mother Rebecca Teter the widow of Paul, made a deed to Isaac Henkle, for 400 pounds, of a number of tracts of land around the Mouth of Seneca, etc. including various patents to Paul Teter and also the 130 acre tract patented to Abraham himself in 1794. (See notes under Paul and Rebecca Teter, his parents). (Pendleton County Deed book #2, page 319).

It is said that on arriving in Illinois he settled first in what is now Monroe County, and then later went to St. Clair County, where he lived in Fayette precinct (not far from the present East St. Louis). In the History of St. Clair County Ill. pub. by Brink, McDonough and County, 1881, it is said that Abraham Teter came to New Design in Monroe County in 1797 and then to Fayette township in St. Clair County in 1803 or 1804, together with Peter Mitchell, Barbara Shook, and others, settling in Section 33 on Silver Creek. (pages 269-270). Also, on page 53 it is stated that a few miles south of Silver Creek, Abraham Teter, his sister Mrs. Shook and Peter Mitchell began making improvements. On the organization of the old Silver Creek Baptist church in 1811, among the constituent members were Abraham Teter, his wife Mary, Hannah Mitchell, Peter Mitchell, Rebecca Griffen, Mary Radcliff and Barbara Shook. (same, page 166). On page 70 of the same book is given an election poll at Cahokia, Ill. in January, 1799 and among the names appearing are those of Abraham Teter, John Teter, and Peter Mitchell. Abraham Teter is said to have had 11 children, and his daughter Rebecca was the first child of white parents born in Fayette precinct. Of these 11 children, 1 died young: of the others, 5 were boys and 5 girls.

The Badgley Colony

From: Reynold's Pioneer History of Illinois (pages 235-238).

"An efficient and enterprising colony of Americans immigrated from Hardy county, Virginia, and settled at New Design, Illinois, in 1797. This was the largest and most flourishing company of farmers, mechanics and laborers that ever came to Illinois at or before that day.
"A year or so before 1797, David Badgley and Leonard Carr came out to explore the country. Daniel Stookey, Abraham Eyeman, Mr. Whetstone and Abraham Stookey also explored the country before the colony settled in Illinois. These explorers came from the south branch of Potomac, Hardy County, Virginia, on horseback and examined the country thoroughly. They remained in the country most of the summer and Rev. David Badgley frequently preached. Mr. Stookey and others crossed the Mississippi at St. Louis in 1796, and gave that French village, the country around it and commandant a passing notice.

"This exploring party decided on making Illinois their homes for life. They returned to Virginia and reported the facts of their discoveries to their neighbors and friends. This whole colony mustered up and commenced a long and arduous journey, at that day, for the Far West.

"It is said that Solomon Shook and Mr. Borer came to Illinois the year before. This colony, all numbered and all told, amounted to about one hundred and fifty-four souls. They crossed the mountains on wagons, pack-horses and on foot to Morgantown on the Monongahela River. Here they waited some time for their boats to be finished. At last, in May, they set sail down the rivers to the land of promise - Illinois. After a long, tiresome and exposed voyage down the rivers they landed at Ft. Massac, on the Ohio river. The flat-boats, or brood horses, as they were sometimes called in derision, were not covered and the families in them were exposed to the inclemency of the weather and the heat of a summer sun.

"This year, 1797, was uncommonly wet and the streams between the Ohio and Kaskaskia were all out of the banks and swimming. It rained almost every day, and the roads between Kaskaskia and Massac were literally covered with water and the mud almost impassable. This colony fixed up their wagons, horses and all things for the New Design, Illinois, and left Massac. They were detained in this wilderness of mud and water for about a month - exposed to almost a vertical sun over their heads and positive mud and water under their feet.

"It must be recollected that at this time not a house stood between Kaskaskia and Massac. They rafted the creeks and at last reached civilization and contemplated relief; but woefully were they disappointed. They were hailed at Kaskaskia and New Design with all the good feelings peculiarly incident to the pioneers; but a tempest of the most direful calamity was gathering to burst upon their devoted heads. Almost one-half of this cheerful and flourishing colony died during the first summer and fall of their arrival.

"This mortality is almost unprecedented in any country or under any circumstances. A most malignant fever prevailed, which was supposed to be contagious. This prevented the people from paying that kind attention to the sick which they needed. Scarcely a physician could be procured.

"When they reached the New Design they could not procure houses to receive them and they were huddled together to the great injury of their health. If fact, provisions were not plenty. The Indian War had only ceased a year or two before and the inhabitants had not raised much support for themselves or the immigrants. At any rate such was the mortality that even the burying of the dead was scarcely attended to.

"The graveyard of 1797 may yet be seen at the New Design, which will cause the observer to shudder at the mortality and distress of that day. Scarcely a family of all these immigrants but had to mourn the loss of one or more of its number, and many of the families were almost extinct; leaving, perhaps, a few helpless children to grieve over the loss of their parents, bothers and sisters. At this time there were no means of relief for this distress in the country, except kind and benevolent hearts. The country was healthy after this year and immigrants who were not swept off soon did well.

"Scarcely at any time of in any country will be found so many moral, honest and laborious citizens, to the number of this colony, as the immigration from Hardy County to the New Design. The names of Carr, Stookey, Eyeman, Shook, Mitchell, Clark, Badgley, Teter, Miller and others will be recognized as the heads of families of this colony whose descendants at this day are numerous and respectable.

"This colony introduced into the country an orderly and moral influence which did great service to the present inhabitants. The emigrants from Virginia attended strictly and honestly to business and not only improved the country but their example also impressed the people. They were the first to raise Sheep to any number and manufactured the wool into clothes. They turned their attention to the culture of wheat and raised a surplus for market. They also encouraged the breed of horses and cattle and raised a great number themselves.

"The beneficial influence of this colony to improve the country was in a short time perceived by everyone. The people composing it were not proud or overbearing, but on the contrary they were remarkable for their modest and amiable deportment, so that they taught by example the people, who esteemed and admired them. The colony was extremely moral and correct and their descendants to this day are notorious for their sober and orderly conduct." - Pioneer History of Illinois by John Reynolds.

Returning to Virginia he gave a favorable account of the country, so that his sons and a number of other persons determined to emigrate to Illinois. The colony consisted of a large number of families among which were the Teters, Carrs, Millers, Strouds and Eyemans.

2. Notes from Catherine Hill, spntotnr@shawneelink.net, 26 July 2003

Paul did not accompany Rebecca, and their children, when they removed to the Northwest Territory in 1797. He had died in 1784. Captain Paul Teter was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

All birth records of Abraham Teter and Maria "Mary" Kittle, and family, and the marriages of Abraham and Mary Kittle Teter, and Philip and Margaret Thompson Teter, we have found in the "Teter-Mitchell-Hill" Family Bible of (Hannah) Emaline Mitchell Hill, nee Mitchell. Emaline was the daughter of Rebecca Teter and William W. Mitchell; she was the 3rd wife of William. Rebecca Teter was the daughter of Abraham Teter and Mary Kittle, and the sister of Levi Teter. I am descended from Rebecca Teter and William W. Mitchell. William W. Mitchell was the son of Peter Mitchell/Mischler, Jr. and Hannah Teter; the date of Peter and Hannah's marriage bond was 27 August 1791, Pendleton County, (W.) Virginia. Hannah Teter was the sister of Abraham Teter. Abraham died 3 May 1815 in Illinois Territory, now St. Clair County, IL. Hannah died between 1810-25 April 1820.

After the death of Hannah and Abraham, Mary Kittle Teter married Peter Mitchell/Mischler, 25 April 1820 in St. Clair County, IL.

Peter Mitchell/Mischler was born about 1760-1770, and died about the 21st August 1834 in St. Clair County Peter was the son of Reverand Peter Mischler, Sr. a Lutheran Minister.

Hannah Teter was born about 1773 in Augusta County, Virginia, now Pendleton County, West Virginia; she died between 1810-25 April 1820 probably in Randolph County, IL (or St. Clair County)

Peter Mitchell was born between 1760-1770; he died about 21 August 1834 in St. Clair County, IL. His father, Rev. Peter Mischler, Sr., born about 1732 in Gersweiler, in Saarbruck, Germany. He was an immigrant Lutheran Minister We do not have the name of his wife; he did have at least one other child that we know about, George Mitchell or Mischler. We do not know the names of his mother and father, but we do have a little information about them. The Rev. Peter Mischler's father was Roman Catholic and his mother was Lutheran. It was in the latter faith that Peter Mischler was confirmed by a certain Reverend Rust in Mohlstadt. He studied to be a tailor, and at the age of twenty-nine years he came to America, landed in Philadelphia on the ship Squirrel on October 21, 1761. It was with his own hand that he signed the immigrant list as Peter Mischler. Rev. Peter Mischler owned considerable land in the area of the Propst Lutheran Church. His wife is not known. Rev. Mischler was still alive on September 5, 1809 when he sold two tracts of land to his son, George. Rev. Peter Mischler, Sr. was the first resident Lutheran Minister to the Propst Lutheran Church, 1772-1812.


3. St. Clair County History, Pages 269-271, Philadelphia: Brink, McDonough, and Company, 1881

In 1797 Abraham Teter moved from Randolph county, Virginia, to New Design, Monroe County, this state. In 1803 or 1804, in company with Peter Mitchell, Barbara Shook, Isaac Griffen and families he came to this township, followed up the meanderings of Silver creek to section 33, T. 1 So, R. 7 W., where he found a double log cabin occupied by a Mr. Cook. He bought Cook's claim, agreeing to occupy one end of the cabin, and Cook the other, the first winter. Mitchell and Griffin located near by. Across the creek lived a family named Radcliffe. So that Cook and Radcliffe are believed to have been the first settlers. Among the early settlers was a rumor to the effect that a family of three--husband, wife and child had, prior to this, attempted to erect a cabin near the mouth of Silver creek, but, before its completion, had met their deaths. Their decomposed bodies were found by hunters from New Design, and buried underneath a large hickory tree which was often pointed out. This was about 1797, when militia claims were being selected. The names of the parties and all facts are matters of oblivion.

Mrs. Cook enjoyed the reputation of being bewitched. Neighbors in the vicinity of Turkey Hill (in those days ten, or even fifteen miles was looked upon as being in the neighborhood) verily believed her a witch. Mr. Radcliffe, living on the other side of Silver creek, some two or three miles distant, laid claims to being a witch-master, and by a singular coincidence established his claim firmly in the minds of the people. Once Messrs. Teter and Mitchell had occasion to remain over night with him. At midnight they were aroused by loud laughter, and waking, saw Radcliffe sitting bolt upright in a bed on the floor laughing heartily. Said he, "Mrs. Cook just came down the chimney, and I have kicked her into the fire. Imagine Teter's surprise on the following morning at hearing his wife's greeting him with a statement that Mrs. Cook had "just been in and said she came near burning up last night. Some coals had rolled out of the fireplace and burned her bed partially and awakened her by burning her feet." Therefore Radcliffe was authority in matters of witchery, and Mrs. Cook was more a witch than ever. The following spring they left the settlement. Isaac Mitchell was born in the fall of 1805, being the first male child born there.

Solomon Teter was born Feb. 19, 1809, and is the oldest native born person now living in the precinct. He was one of a family of eleven children, ten of whom, five boys and five girls grew to years of maturity. His sister Rebecca was the first female child born. She was born in 1805. 1736 - ~1797 Rebecca Henckel 61 61 She and Paul came to Cahokia Illinois, with her son, Abraham and his wife, Mary Kittle and her daughter Hanna Teter, and her husband Peter Mitchell who later married Mary Kittle Teter after Abraham and Hannah Teter's deaths. They all came in 1797 with the Badgely Expedetion.

June 1792, Rebecca Teter was granted 62 acres of land in Randolph County on the Dry Fork of the Cheat river. The date of Rebecca Henkel Teter's death is not known. Probably it was during the epidemic of 1797, at New Design, Illinois.

Her sister Anna Margaret Henckel married George Teter. Her sister Susannah married Philip Teter.
-------------------
Biography by Professor Joseph M. Kellogg:

Paul Teter was born about 1730, probably in Pennsylvania. He lived as a young man for some years in Rowan County, North Carolina, but removed from there about 1760 with the other Teters and Henkels to Augusta County Virginia. The first mention of Paul Teter on the records of Augusta County appears to be on August 19, 1766, when he and his brother George proved by their oaths in court the will of one Felten (or Valentine) Koil (later Kyle). They had been witnesses to the will which was dated October 11, 1765. It seems likely that the Goil (Kyle) family were relatives or close friends of the Teters (the two families continued to be associated in later years). An abstract of the will is as follows:

I, Felty Goil, "under a lingering state of health," commends his soul to God, his body to be buried, etc.
To loving wife Margaret fifty pounds, one milch cow, and half the produce of the land, whilst she lives.
To eldest son Gabriel, one black horse rising five years old by me how delivered into his custody and possession, over and above his equal part of the estate after dividing the moveable part thereof.
To son Jacob, one equal child's part of all moveables.
To son George, one equal child's part of all moveables.
To son Martin, all the freehold land that I claim by right, in quantity 130 acres, providing he pay his sisters Barbary and Elizabeth fifteen pounds each, on his entry into possession of the same, with one black horse and one set of plough irons. He to give to his mother and sisters the privilege of living peaceably on sd. land, to wit his mother as long as she lives with the half product of sd. land for her maintenance whilst she lives, and his sisters to reside till they are married or otherwise provided for, and if he prove disobedient or by turbulent means offers to deprive them of peaceable enjoyment is to lose all right of possession, and the land is to devolve to his mother and after her decease to Barbary and Elizabeth. He is likewise to have two milch cows.
To daughter Barbary, 2 milch cows and one mare colt.
To daughter Elizabeth, 2 milch cows and one mare colt.
This I allow my daughters over and above a child's part.

Appoints George Hammer and son George Goil as Executors, and empowers them to dispose of the estate in the above mentioned manner.
Dated October 11, 1765.
Signed Felten Koil
Witnesses:
George Teter
Paul Teter
George Wooldridge

The will of "Valentine Goile, deceased" proved August 19, 1766, by the oaths of George and Paul Teter.
The bond of George Coil and George Hammer as Executors is also dated August 19, 1766. Sureties were Henry Stone and Sebastian Hoover. (Augusta County Will Book 3. page 452).
Tracings of signatures from the original will. [omitted]
As can be seen Paul Teter signed his name in German script as "Paullus Dieder".

The appraisement of the estate - "The prass. of Valentine Giles desesed Estate" - was dated Sept. 9, 1766. It was made by Jonas Friend, George Dice and Michael Mallow. Returned and recorded on May 22, 1767. The total was the comparatively large sum of £186-14-3. Among the items were: to George Teter's acct. £3-0-0; to acct. of Moses Elsworth £15-12-0; of Youst Henkel £18-0-0. The numerous personal accounts suggest that Valentine Koil was a sort of merchant or storekeeper. The settlement of the estate was recorded on August 19, 1767. After a long list of payments to various people, including Gabriel and Martin Coyle, there was a balance of £149-9-1 left for the heirs, (Augusta County Will Book 4, pages 14 and 35).

On September 10, 1767, Paul Teter was granted a patent for 40 acres of land on the North Fork at the mouth of Seneca creek. (Virginia land books #37, page 122, in Land office at Richmond). On October 29, 1767, he had surveyed for himself another 53 acres below the mouth of Seneca. (Augusta County Survey Book 2, page 124). Survey plot follows. [plot not available].

Patent for this tract was granted him on March 1, 1773 (Virginia Land book No. 41, page 269).

On October 28, 1773, he also had surveyed another 43 acre tract on the north side of the North Fork, beginning at his own old corner etc.
[tracing of survey omitted]

(Survey Book 2, page 235)
Patent for this granted him on July 17, 1783.

On March 17, 1768, Paul Teter made oath in the Augusta Court that he had attended for 5 days as a witness for "Jesse Hancle" in the latter's suit for slander against Alexander Painter. For this service it was ordered by the Court that he be paid 125 pounds of tobaccos, (the common currency of the time). From Augusta County Court Order book No. 11, page 518.

On April 19, 1773, when a new road was ordered to be made from Tygart's valley to the Mouth of Seneca, Paul Teter was appointed overseer of the work on the road from the top of the Allegheny mountains to the mouth of "Sinecar". (same Order Book 15, page 457)

On January 18, 1775 his name appears in a list of those who made claims which appear to have been a result of the Dumore War in 1774 (Morton's History of Pendleton County, page 392; also the Augusta County Order Book No. 16, page 42)

On August 20, 1777, in a list of Tithables taken in the various companies of militia, "Captain Paul Teter's company" is mentioned (Augusta County Order book #16, page 222). Evidently, therefore, Paul Teter was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. (Virginia Militia in Revolutionary War. - J. T. McAllister, page 184).

Paul Teter's name also appears among those in Rockingham County who preferred claims for furnishing supplies to the army during the Revolutionary war. At a Court on Sept. 28, 1782, the claim of Paul Teter, of date August 8, 1778 for "24 Diets" (for soldiers) at 6 pence each was allowed; also the later claim dated August 3, 1782, for "Pasturage for 36 head of horses 1 night at 3 pence each". (Rockingham County Order Book 1, page 183). At the court on October 29, 1782, two further claims of his were also allowed: that dated June 5, 1782, for 15 horses and pasture, 1 night at 6 pence each; and that dated July 29, 1782, for 36 head of horses at 6 pence each in pasture. (Same, Book l, page 198). (also see Morton, pages 393, 394).

In the Personal Tax lists for Rockingham County in 1782 he is noted as having 11 horses and 16 head of cattle (a rather large amount for that period).

He appears again in the list for 1784 with 13 horses and 16 cattle. (These Personal Tax lists, which will often be referred to in these notes are a long series of Manuscript volumes in the Virginia State Library at Richmond, covering all the counties of the state from about 1782 to 1850. They form, of course, immensely valuable source material for the study of history and genealogy). In the "Property Books" (which show the list of those taxed for land, as distinct from the Personal tax lists), Paul Teter appears on the list for Rockingham County in 1782, as having 96 acres of land, of an assessed value of 25 pounds. (Although this is about 10 acres less than the amount of land owned by his brother Philip Teter, the value of Paul's land is over three times that of Philip's, showing of course either more fertile land or the presence of more or better improvements on it.)

Paul Teter died some time in the year 1784, after the date of taking the property tax (usually done early in the year) since his name appears on that list, but before the taking of the second Personal tax list for that year (published in the volume for Virginia in the series of the 1st U. S. Census), where his name does not appear but instead his widow Rebecca is given as head of the family.

On November 22, 1784, "the last will and testament of Paul Teeter was presented into Court and proved by the oaths of Joseph Cheverunt and Jacob Root, whereupon Moses Elsworth and Geo. Teeter Senr., the executors therein named, having complied with the law, certificate is granted to them to obtain probate in due form." (Rockingham County Minute Book 1, page 369). On the same date it was ordered "that Yost Henkle, Robert Minnis, Jacob Carr and Isaac, or any three of the them being first sworn do appraise the estate of Paul Teeter deceased and make a return to the next Court." (same. The name of Henkle is probably what is omitted after "Isaac" above). The actual will books and the files were long ago destroyed by fire in Rockingham County, so the original will or a copy, cannot now be seen.

Paul Teter married about 1760, probably in North Carolina before the removal to Virginia, Rebecca Henkel. She was born October 5, 1736, and was the daughter of Justus Henkel Sr. and his wife Magdalena Eschmann. After the death of her husband, Rebecca Teter appears as the head of the family on the tax records, since their eldest son George was married and living separately and the other children were still rather young at the death of their father. In the so-called "Census" of 1784, Rebecca Teter appears as having 7 white souls in the family, 1 dwelling and 2 other buildings, (son George appears separately). She appears on the Personal tax lists for the years 1785-89, and on the Land tax lists for 1787 and 1788. In the latter she is 2 tracts of land one of 40 acres and the other of 43 acres. In the personal list for 1785 she has no male children of age over 16 yrs. but under 21 yrs. (she has 2 horses and 4 cattle); but in 1787 she has 1 son of such an age in her family (in addition to son George, who appears for himself separately).

In September, 1794, "widow Teter" is mentioned in a letter from Moses Henkel in regard to her son Abraham's survey. (Augusta County Records, Chalkley Vol. 1, page 483). On June 5, 1792, Rebecca Teter was granted 62 acres of land in Randolph County on the Dry Fork of the Cheat river. (Land office records, Book #26, page 581). (Her son George Teter had also obtained land in that neighborhood both before this time and again afterward

On March 6, 1797, Rebecca Teter, "relict of Paul Teter", together with Abraham Teter, "land heir of sd. Paul Teter decd" and his wife Mary, made a deed, for a consideration of 400 pounds, to Isaac Henkle, of, apparently, all the land which had been granted to Paul Teeter at various times in the vicinity of the Mouth of Seneca. This now consisted of 4 tracts as follows: (1) 42 acres granted to Paul Teter decd. by patent dated September 10, 1767; (2) 53 acres adjoining the above granted to Paul Teter decd by patent dated March 1, 1773; (3) 43 acres also adjoining the above first tract granted to him by patent of July 17, 1783; (4) 130 acres granted to Abraham Teter himself by patent of July 22, 1794. Abraham Teter signed the deed actually, the two women made their marks. The deed was acknowledged in court and recorded the same date, March 6, 1797. (Pendleton County Deed book 2, page 319)

Then on March 29, 1797, Rebecca Teter, "relict of Paul Teter Decd. of Pendleton County" appointed Robert Green of Randolph County her attorney to make a deed for that land of 62 acres in Randolph County on the Dry Fork of Cheat which had been patented to her on June 5, 1792, he to make the deed to Daniel Ketterman of Hardy County. Rebecca made her mark. Witnesses were George Ketterman, Frederick Hedrick and Joseph Teter. Recorded March 6, 1798. (Pendleton County Deed Book #3 page 98).

Thus all the land belonging to Rebecca and her son Abraham was disposed of. This was just prior to Abraham's removal to Illinois. It would seem that the mother Rebecca went with him. There seems to be no mention of either of them in Pendleton County after this date. We know that the two daughters, Mrs. Barbara Shook and Mrs. Hannah Mitchell also accompanied Abraham in his removal to the west, and probably the whole family made a wholesale removal with the exception of George who had already gone to Randolph County as so many of the Pendleton County families were doing at that time. The date of Rebecca Henkel Teter's death is not known. Probably it was during the epidemic of 1797, at New Design, Illinois. ~1730 - 1784 Paul Teter 54 54 He was a captain the Virginia Militia in 1777, in the American Revolution.

About Rebecca: She and Paul came to Cahokia Il, with her son, Abraham and his wife, Mary Kittle and her daughter Hanna Teter, and her husband Peter Mitchell who later married Mary Kittle Teter after Abraham and Hannah Teter's deaths. They all came in 1797.

Biography by Professor Joseph M. Kellogg

Paul Teter was born about 1730, probably in Pennsylvania. He lived as a young man for some years in Rowan County, North Carolina, but removed from there about 1760 with the other Teters and Henkels to Augusta County Virginia. The first mention of Paul Teter on the records of Augusta County appears to be on August 19, 1766, when he and his brother George proved by their oaths in court the will of one Felten (or Valentine) Koil (later Kyle). They had been witnesses to the will which was dated October 11, 1765. It seems likely that the Goil (Kyle) family were relatives or close friends of the Teters (the two families continued to be associated in later years). An abstract of the will is as follows:

I, Felty Goil, "under a lingering state of health," commends his soul to God, his body to be buried, etc.
To loving wife Margaret fifty pounds, one milch cow, and half the produce of the land, whilst she lives.
To eldest son Gabriel, one black horse rising five years old by me how delivered into his custody and possession, over and above his equal part of the estate after dividing the moveable part thereof.
To son Jacob, one equal child's part of all moveables.
To son George, one equal child's part of all moveables.
To son Martin, all the freehold land that I claim by right, in quantity 130 acres, providing he pay his sisters Barbary and Elizabeth fifteen pounds each, on his entry into possession of the same, with one black horse and one set of plough irons. He to give to his mother and sisters the privilege of living peaceably on sd. land, to wit his mother as long as she lives with the half product of sd. land for her maintenance whilst she lives, and his sisters to reside till they are married or otherwise provided for, and if he prove disobedient or by turbulent means offers to deprive them of peaceable enjoyment is to lose all right of possession, and the land is to devolve to his mother and after her decease to Barbary and Elizabeth. He is likewise to have two milch cows.
To daughter Barbary, 2 milch cows and one mare colt.
To daughter Elizabeth, 2 milch cows and one mare colt.
This I allow my daughters over and above a child's part.

Appoints George Hammer and son George Goil as Executors, and empowers them to dispose of the estate in the above mentioned manner.
Dated October 11, 1765.
Signed Felten Koil
Witnesses:
George Teter
Paul Teter
George Wooldridge

The will of "Valentine Goile, deceased" proved August 19, 1766, by the oaths of George and Paul Teter.
The bond of George Coil and George Hammer as Executors is also dated August 19, 1766. Sureties were Henry Stone and Sebastian Hoover. (Augusta County Will Book 3. page 452).
Tracings of signatures from the original will. [omitted]
As can be seen Paul Teter signed his name in German script as "Paullus Dieder".

The appraisement of the estate - "The prass. of Valentine Giles desesed Estate" - was dated Sept. 9, 1766. It was made by Jonas Friend, George Dice and Michael Mallow. Returned and recorded on May 22, 1767. The total was the comparatively large sum of £186-14-3. Among the items were: to George Teter's acct. £3-0-0; to acct. of Moses Elsworth £15-12-0; of Youst Henkel £18-0-0. The numerous personal accounts suggest that Valentine Koil was a sort of merchant or storekeeper. The settlement of the estate was recorded on August 19, 1767. After a long list of payments to various people, including Gabriel and Martin Coyle, there was a balance of £149-9-1 left for the heirs, (Augusta County Will Book 4, pages 14 and 35).

On September 10, 1767, Paul Teter was granted a patent for 40 acres of land on the North Fork at the mouth of Seneca creek. (Virginia land books #37, page 122, in Land office at Richmond). On October 29, 1767, he had surveyed for himself another 53 acres below the mouth of Seneca. (Augusta County Survey Book 2, page 124). Survey plot follows. [plot not available].

Patent for this tract was granted him on March 1, 1773 (Virginia Land book No. 41, page 269).

On October 28, 1773, he also had surveyed another 43 acre tract on the north side of the North Fork, beginning at his own old corner etc.
[tracing of survey omitted]

(Survey Book 2, page 235)
Patent for this granted him on July 17, 1783.

On March 17, 1768, Paul Teter made oath in the Augusta Court that he had attended for 5 days as a witness for "Jesse Hancle" in the latter's suit for slander against Alexander Painter. For this service it was ordered by the Court that he be paid 125 pounds of tobaccos, (the common currency of the time). From Augusta County Court Order book No. 11, page 518.

On April 19, 1773, when a new road was ordered to be made from Tygart's valley to the Mouth of Seneca, Paul Teter was appointed overseer of the work on the road from the top of the Allegheny mountains to the mouth of "Sinecar". (same Order Book 15, page 457)

On January 18, 1775 his name appears in a list of those who made claims which appear to have been a result of the Dumore War in 1774 (Morton's History of Pendleton County, page 392; also the Augusta County Order Book No. 16, page 42)

On August 20, 1777, in a list of Tithables taken in the various companies of militia, "Captain Paul Teter's company" is mentioned (Augusta County Order book #16, page 222). Evidently, therefore, Paul Teter was a Captain in the Revolutionary War. (Virginia Militia in Revolutionary War. - J. T. McAllister, page 184).

Paul Teter's name also appears among those in Rockingham County who preferred claims for furnishing supplies to the army during the Revolutionary war. At a Court on Sept. 28, 1782, the claim of Paul Teter, of date August 8, 1778 for "24 Diets" (for soldiers) at 6 pence each was allowed; also the later claim dated August 3, 1782, for "Pasturage for 36 head of horses 1 night at 3 pence each". (Rockingham County Order Book 1, page 183). At the court on October 29, 1782, two further claims of his were also allowed: that dated June 5, 1782, for 15 horses and pasture, 1 night at 6 pence each; and that dated July 29, 1782, for 36 head of horses at 6 pence each in pasture. (Same, Book l, page 198). (also see Morton, pages 393, 394).

In the Personal Tax lists for Rockingham County in 1782 he is noted as having 11 horses and 16 head of cattle (a rather large amount for that period).

He appears again in the list for 1784 with 13 horses and 16 cattle. (These Personal Tax lists, which will often be referred to in these notes are a long series of Manuscript volumes in the Virginia State Library at Richmond, covering all the counties of the state from about 1782 to 1850. They form, of course, immensely valuable source material for the study of history and genealogy). In the "Property Books" (which show the list of those taxed for land, as distinct from the Personal tax lists), Paul Teter appears on the list for Rockingham County in 1782, as having 96 acres of land, of an assessed value of 25 pounds. (Although this is about 10 acres less than the amount of land owned by his brother Philip Teter, the value of Paul's land is over three times that of Philip's, showing of course either more fertile land or the presence of more or better improvements on it.)

Paul Teter died some time in the year 1784, after the date of taking the property tax (usually done early in the year) since his name appears on that list, but before the taking of the second Personal tax list for that year (published in the volume for Virginia in the series of the 1st U. S. Census), where his name does not appear but instead his widow Rebecca is given as head of the family.

On November 22, 1784, "the last will and testament of Paul Teeter was presented into Court and proved by the oaths of Joseph Cheverunt and Jacob Root, whereupon Moses Elsworth and Geo. Teeter Senr., the executors therein named, having complied with the law, certificate is granted to them to obtain probate in due form." (Rockingham County Minute Book 1, page 369). On the same date it was ordered "that Yost Henkle, Robert Minnis, Jacob Carr and Isaac, or any three of the them being first sworn do appraise the estate of Paul Teeter deceased and make a return to the next Court." (same. The name of Henkle is probably what is omitted after "Isaac" above). The actual will books and the files were long ago destroyed by fire in Rockingham County, so the original will or a copy, cannot now be seen.

Paul Teter married about 1760, probably in North Carolina before the removal to Virginia, Rebecca Henkel. She was born October 5, 1736, and was the daughter of Justus Henkel Sr. and his wife Magdalena Eschmann. After the death of her husband, Rebecca Teter appears as the head of the family on the tax records, since their eldest son George was married and living separately and the other children were still rather young at the death of their father. In the so-called "Census" of 1784, Rebecca Teter appears as having 7 white souls in the family, 1 dwelling and 2 other buildings, (son George appears separately). She appears on the Personal tax lists for the years 1785-89, and on the Land tax lists for 1787 and 1788. In the latter she is 2 tracts of land one of 40 acres and the other of 43 acres. In the personal list for 1785 she has no male children of age over 16 yrs. but under 21 yrs. (she has 2 horses and 4 cattle); but in 1787 she has 1 son of such an age in her family (in addition to son George, who appears for himself separately).

In September, 1794, "widow Teter" is mentioned in a letter from Moses Henkel in regard to her son Abraham's survey. (Augusta County Records, Chalkley Vol. 1, page 483). On June 5, 1792, Rebecca Teter was granted 62 acres of land in Randolph County on the Dry Fork of the Cheat river. (Land office records, Book #26, page 581). (Her son George Teter had also obtained land in that neighborhood both before this time and again afterward

On March 6, 1797, Rebecca Teter, "relict of Paul Teter", together with Abraham Teter, "land heir of sd. Paul Teter decd" and his wife Mary, made a deed, for a consideration of 400 pounds, to Isaac Henkle, of, apparently, all the land which had been granted to Paul Teeter at various times in the vicinity of the Mouth of Seneca. This now consisted of 4 tracts as follows: (1) 42 acres granted to Paul Teter decd. by patent dated September 10, 1767; (2) 53 acres adjoining the above granted to Paul Teter decd by patent dated March 1, 1773; (3) 43 acres also adjoining the above first tract granted to him by patent of July 17, 1783; (4) 130 acres granted to Abraham Teter himself by patent of July 22, 1794. Abraham Teter signed the deed actually, the two women made their marks. The deed was acknowledged in court and recorded the same date, March 6, 1797. (Pendleton County Deed book 2, page 319)

Then on March 29, 1797, Rebecca Teter, "relict of Paul Teter Decd. of Pendleton County" appointed Robert Green of Randolph County her attorney to make a deed for that land of 62 acres in Randolph County on the Dry Fork of Cheat which had been patented to her on June 5, 1792, he to make the deed to Daniel Ketterman of Hardy County. Rebecca made her mark. Witnesses were George Ketterman, Frederick Hedrick and Joseph Teter. Recorded March 6, 1798. (Pendleton County Deed Book #3 page 98).

Thus all the land belonging to Rebecca and her son Abraham was disposed of. This was just prior to Abraham's removal to Illinois. It would seem that the mother Rebecca went with him. There seems to be no mention of either of them in Pendleton County after this date. We know that the two daughters, Mrs. Barbara Shook and Mrs. Hannah Mitchell also accompanied Abraham in his removal to the west, and probably the whole family made a wholesale removal with the exception of George who had already gone to Randolph County as so many of the Pendleton County families were doing at that time. The date of Rebecca Henkel Teter's death is not known. Probably it was during the epidemic of 1797, at New Design, Illinois. 1699 - 1744 Hans Jorg Dieter 45 45 U.S. Name: John George Teter

Some of his children may not be correct.

He arrived in America on the ship Molly 30 sep 1727 and settled around Lancaster County, PA.

He emigrated with his wife from Wurtenberg, Germany in 1727 on the ship Molly and signed the Oath of Allegiance at Philadelphia Sep 1727.
------------------------------------
(Hans) Jorg Dieter/(John) George Teter was born June 7, 1699 in Schwaigern, near Heilbronn, Brackenheim, Wuertemberg, Germany. He was the son of Hans Michael Dieter and Maria Katharine Frey. George married December 19, 1720 in Schwaigern, (Maria) Margaretha Luttman, born June 1, 1701. She was the daughter of Hans George Luttman and Anna Dorothy Northa. George died about March 22, 1743/1744 in Orange Co., VA.

Upon the death of Queen Anne of Great Britain, August 1, 1714, George, the 1st ascended the throne of Great Britain. George, the 1st was born in Hanover, Germany. He was the son of the Elector Ernest Augustus, by Sophia, granddaughter of James, the 1st of England and daughter of Frederick Elector Palatine. It is easy to understand how (Hans) Jorg Dieter/(John) George Teter could so easily, and with the approval of the authorities in Schwaigern, submit himself and family to the rule of a British King who was also a German.

Hans Jorg Dieter, and family, came to this country on the Ship Molly, and he signed the loyalty oath at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 30, 1727,

"The following material was compiled by Mr. Karl Wagenplast from records in the Archives of the City of Schwaigern. From the Minutes of the Police Court of Schwaigern 1727, p. 220:

"Johan George Teter (Hans Jorg Dieter) son of Schwaigern Mayor Johann Michael Teter (Dieter) who has decided in furtherance of his expected success to render himself to Pennsylvania under Royal British Sovereignty. (This entry shows that our George Teter did come to Pennsylvania in 1727 as we thought)."

".....In the partition of the estate of Hans Michael Teter (Dieter) on 5 July 1734, the heirs are listed as the widow Maria Elisabetha (second wife); son Hans George, who emigrated some years prior to Pennsylvania; Eberhardina, wife of Jacob Baumgartner of Schwaigern; and Juliana, wife of Dieter Eberle, the baker. The records show that Juliana died in 1733, and eight weeks before the partition Dieter Eberle married Christina ---, she died 1741.

"..... The mayor's son Hans George Teter (Hans Jorg Dieter), who has lived in America since 1727, received as his share still 855 Guilders at the partition......" (The Mayor was the above Hans Michael Teter/Dieter, son of Wolfgang Teter/Dieter)

"Herr (Karl) Wagenplast has the Town Journals dating back to 1200 A.D." He complied a list of the property the Teter family brought with them to America. "If you think that our ancestor was pretty poor, remember that many of the immigrants did not obtain permission to leave, or pay their feudal dues, but sneaked out at night. Our George Teter had more of this world's goods than most of the immigrants." He left with the permission of the authorities.

In these Town Journals it was told, what George Teter's own belongings were:

1 black coat, 3 Gulden 2 pairs knitted white stockings, 30 Kreuzer
1 new gray parker, 10 Gulden 1 cotton necktie, 15 Kreuzer
1 pair lethern trousers, 2 Gulden 3 shirts, 15 Kreuzer each
1 hat, 30 Kreuzer 2 working shirts, 40 Kreuzer each

As a present from his father he got "Handbook of Nurnberg"

(Maria) Margaretha Luttman had the following personal belongings:
1 middle good brown skirt, 1 Gulden 1 black Damst cap, 25 Kreuzer
1 a bit worse worne out, 30 Kreuzer 1 white worne sewed up cap, 15 Kreuzer
1 red bodice, 50 Kreuzer 1 of the same kind 10 Kreuzer
1 medium brown hat, 40 Kreuzer 3 good skirts, 30 Kreuzer each
1 heavy cap, 50 Kreuzer 2 bad skirts, 20 Kreuzer each
1 cotton " Schurz" (?apron), 15 Kreuzer 2 good veil, 30 Kreuzer
1 white of the same kind, 20 Kreuzer 1 white neckcloth, 11 Kreuzer
1 pair white woolen stockings, 15 Kreuzer

"It was counted what they were wearing. Then her belongings were Linnen, tin pans and pots, cupper pans and pots, iron pots to prepare cakes, wooden pans and pots, a bed, boxes, tables, kitchen furniture, but one chair.

"Cattle:
1 Brown cow, 18 Gulden 4 Zentner hay, 2 Gulden
1 male sheep, 20 Gulden 40 bands straw, 1 Gulden
1 pig, 1 Gulden

2 new songbooks for church, 30 Kreuzer.

All together 387 Gulden and 8 Kreuzer. 60 Kreuzer = 1 Gulden."

There were 70 Palatines with their families, in all, 300 persons who came on the ship Molley. John Hodgeson was the Master. The Molley set sail from Rotterdam and stopped off at Deal as its last port. The Palatines appeared, repeated, and signed the Loyalty oath at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 30, 1727.

Interesting Titbit--- From: "Branching Out" From St. Clair Co., IL, Vol. 16, #3, May 1989, pg. 123:
"Johann George Dieter signed petition on Pennsylvania Frontier asking for protection from Indians--April 17, 1728."

George Teter lived at Lancaster Co., PA where his son, George was born April 6, 1730, and baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church on May 7, 1730. After George's death (Maria) Margaretha Dieter/Teter may have remarried; she and her family moved to North Carolina.

Orange Co., VA records of Intestate for George Teter cover the period from when Margaret Teater, George Uts and Michael Cloure signed papers binding them for the estate, March 22, 1743/1744 thru the appraisement of Georg Teater's Estate, Dec'd, May 24, 1744.

Here is an interesting article from the "Henckel Genealogical Bulletin", p. 84.
Please note that George Uts and Michael Cloure are mentioned in the article:

George Teter of the Hebron Church Community

"Among the most interesting chapter in Virginia colonial history is that relating to the efforts of Governor Spotswood to settle a number of German families up on the Rappahannock River and have them work the iron mines there. This settlement finally was abandoned. The two groups of people who had been there (Lutheran and Reformed) separated, the Reformed families going to what later was called Germantown in Fauquier County, and the Lutherans farther up the river valley, to a site in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Here came to be one of the most important and most flourshing of all the German colonies in the country at that time, clustering around the church, the famous "Hebron" Lutheran church.

"The first Lutheran colony to come to Virginia had arrived in 1717. They landed on the coast and were sold by the captain to pay the cost of their transportation. Governor Spotswood advanced this money and so they became his indentured servants. He settled them on the south side of the Rappahannock River, near "Germanna", but not actually there, where three years before he had established a German Reformed colony from Nassau-Siegen. The Lutheran group of twenty families was quite separate from the Reformed colony, and did not live at the same place. The names of the heads of families in this first Lutheran group are known and include: Michael Cook, Michael Smith, George Uts, and Michael Clore.

"The new location was on both sides of the Robinson River and White Oak Run, in what is now Madison County, Virginia. The Robinson River is a branch of the Rapidan. A radius of about eight miles would include the homes of all the German colonists, with Hebron church as a center. The original group was soon joined and increased by other newcomers, many of them from Pennsylvania. In 1733, the number of colonists was about three hundred. This colony formed, at that time, the most advanced outpost of white civilization. This was in Spotsylvania County, and in 1734 it became part of Orange County, and in 1748 it became Culpeper County, and in 1792 it became Madison County.

"The present church was built in 1740, and is the oldest Lutheran Church built and still used and owned by Lutherans in the United States. It is older than the Trappe Church in Pennsylvania.

"On January 10, 1735/36 a land grant was given to George Teter for 200 acres of land in Orange County "on the south side of the Robinson River, in the little fork of the same, touching Roger Quarles' land, also Michael Cook's." This land was near the Hebron Church community.

"In a list of tithables in Orange County for 1739, in Henry Down's quarter, in the precinct of James Pickett, constable, is the name of George Teter (next to Ludowick Fisher, and near Michael Cook, Henry Snyder, Mathias Castler, and other known members of the Hebron community).

"There are no deed records in Orange County involving (this) George Teter. The Court Minute Books show that on 28 Nov. 1740, the suit by attachment brought by 'George Tetter' plaintiff against the estate of one Charles Kitching defendant was dismissed. At a Court on March 23, 1743/44, the suit of George Teater plaintiff vs Joseph and David Kincade defendants, being abated by the death of the plaintiff was dismissed.

"George Teter died, apparantly, early in 1744. In Orange County Will Book 1, p. 339, is a copy of the administration bond of Margret Teater as adminintratix of the estate of George Teater Dec'd. The bond is dated March 20, 1743/1744, George Utz and Michael Clore sign it with her as sureties, and it is witnessed by James Porteus. The bond was acknowledged in Court on March 22, 1743/1744, and then recorded.

"An inspection of the actual bond shows that the widow signed the bond herself as "Maria Mariagreda Dieter". The last name is partly covered by the seal. At this same Court it was ordered that Michael Cook, Michael Cafer, Michael Smith, and Adam Yeager, or any three of these, being first duly sworn, do appraise the estate of George Teator deceased. At court on May 24, 1744, the appraisement was returned by Christopher Zimmerman and admitted to record. It is recorded and totaled 32 pounds and 10 shillings.

"The inventory included the usual live stock, farming implements, guns, saddles, etc., and also some book valued at 15 shillings. It would seem to indicate that George Teter was a man of education, and fairly well-to-do. The fact that the widow signed her own name to the bond shows that she too was well educated for the time, and a woman of character....."

"It is possible that after the death of her husband in 1744, being left with several small children, the widow Mary Margaret Teter married again. At any rate she probably soon removed to North Carolina with the children. No further mention of her occurs on the record or what became of George Teter's land after his death. If the widow married again, any later transfer of the property might be lost through the change in name. A careul study of the early Orange and Culpeper Deed Books gave no positive results along this line....."

"The Henckel Family Records, number 6, pp. 235-239, (Jan. 1931), published a petition dated 17 April 1728, from the frontier settlers of Pennsylvania, asking for protection from the Indians. Among the signers were: Rev. A. Jacob Henckel, his son Gerhard, son-in-law Valentine Geiger, son-in-law (perhaps future) George Geiger, and Johann George Dieter (Teter)."

"History of St. Clair Co., (IL), F167:
".....By 1735 they owned property in Virginia where Hans George became known as Old George Teter of Hardy County.
"Four of Old George's children married children of John Justus Henckel. It is probable that both families were living in North Carolina when Old George's son, Paul married Rebecca Henckel (ca 1760). They returned soon after this marriage to Virginia and settled in Augusta County. Paul served as a captain in the Revolutionary War."

According to WFT Vol. #3, Pedigree #1009, Georg is buried at the Hebron Church Cemetery, on the Robinson River, in Orange County, Virginia.

----------------------------------
1. From The Henckel - Teter Connection, pages 30-31:

"Johann Georg Dieter was born in Schwaigern, Wurttembourg on June 7, 1699 and married Maria Margaretha LÃ1/4ttmann there on November 19, 1720. Their first two children were born at Schwaigern before they boarded the sailing ship 'Molly' enroute to Pennsylvania. They arrived in Philadelphia September 30, 1727, almost exactly ten (10) years after the arrival of the family of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel with whom their children intermarried. Johann George probably settled in or near New Hanover and thus affiliated with the Henckel family.
On January 10, 1735-36, Johann Georg Dieter, the elder, obtained a grant of land in Robinson River, Orange County (now Frederick County), Virginia (Virginia Patent Book 16, page 475) where he died intestate in 1744. His widow and children then moved to Rowen County, North Carolina apparently along with members of the Henckel family. In 1760, because of Indian uprisings, they moved to present day Pendleton County, West Virginia with other members of that settlement."


2. Teter and Henckel Marriages

According to The Henckel - Teter Connection, The Henckel Genealogy by Junkin (page 194) indicates that at least four of Johann's children intermarried with the Henckels, as follows:
1. Paul Teter married Rebecca Henkle, born October 5, 1736 in upper Milford township, Bucks county (now Lehigh County) Pennsylvania. Paul Teter came to Orange county, Virginia (now Frederick County, Virginia) in 1735.
2. Mary Barbara Teter married Jacob Hinkle.
3. Philip Teter married Susanna (Sunna) Henkle, born October 16, 1747.
4. George Dieter (Teter) married Anna Margaret Henkle, born about April 30, 1741.


3. Germanna History by John Blankenbaker

Germanna History Notes, Page 4, Nr. 86:

A Jacob Miller had a patent for 47 acres in 1733 adjoining Adam Yager in the Mt. Pony area. He paid for the land with his own headright. The absence of other headrights suggests he came as a bachelor. He was naturalized 24 Feb 1742/3. Later he appears with a wife Rebecca in deeds.

A Joseph Cooper (Kooper) patented 400 acres in 1726 and in 1728 he patented another 404 acres in the Mt. Pony watershed. He was associated with many known Germans and is thought to be German himself. He married a Barbara and died very early.

A Jacob Prosie was the administrator of the estate of Barbara Cooper in 1735. He might have been a German.

George Slaughter patented 300 acres in the midst of the Germans in the Robinson River area giving the names of his adjacent German neighbors. In the tithe list of 1739 the name is given as Slater. Since the tithe list was composed by English people, they tended to use English names which were approximate sound alikes to German names. This confuses us today because it hides the German origins of many men. In this case, Slaughter was probably a German family.

John Michael Stoltz patented 291 acres in Robinson River area in 1732. There was an earlier patent in Hanover Co. in 1725 which could have been his. His Robinson River community patent was forfeited, claimed by William Fowler and sold to Michael Utz. Michael Stoltz died in 1741/2 and his administratror was a person of the same name.

John Caspar Stöver became pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church (Hebron) in 1733. He did not live long in the community but he had a big impact as he headed the three person team which solicted funds in Europe. Stöver came to the colonies through Philadelphia with his son of the same name. Later the senior Stöver went to North Carolina and was living there when he joined forces with the Lutheran congregation in the Robinson River community.

George Teter had his origins in Schwaigern, the home of many other Germanna settlers. He arrived with his family 1727 at Philadelphia. He lived a while in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania where a son John George was christened in 1730. He obtained a patent in the Robinson River area 10 Jan 1736(NS). He died in Orange Co. in 1743.

John Paul Vogt (Vaught, etc.) was born in Frankfurt in 1680 and came with his family through Philadelphia in 1733. On 10 Jan 1736(NS) he too (see Teter, above) had a patent for 640 acres. He moved to the Shenandoah Valley in 1744.

Martin Walk is probably Hans Martin Valk who landed at Philadelphia in 1728. He married Catherine,the daughter of Michael Clore. Martin and Tobias Willhide had a joint patent of 400 acres on branches of Deep Run. Martin moved to North Carolina.

Thomas Wayland (Wieland in German) came in 1719 and patented land in 1728. He lost most of this land because it was in conflict with an earlier patent of John Broyles (Johannes Breyhel).

John Willer made a donation to the Lutheran church in 1734. Most likely, he was not German but his wife was.

Johann Leonhart Ziegler came through Philadelphia in 1732 and moved on to Virginia where he married Barbara Zimmerman. He appears to have lived in the Mt. Pony area outside the Robinson River community.

These additional names reinforce the idea that the community was rapidly growing. Many of the individual stories show that Pennsylvania was the gateway. In some of the cases, we understand why the person moved on to Virginia but in other instances we are left wondering.

Germanna History Notes, Page 6, Nr. 137:

In 1727, Hans Jorg Dieter and his wife Maria Margaretha Luttman of Schwaigern wanted to emigrate to Pennsylvania. They went to the police court to get permission and to pay the necessary taxes. There an inventory of their possessions was made. The list is interesting for what it contains. At the time Hans Jorg was in his late twenties and Maria Margaretha was in her middle twenties. They should have had one child, Johann Michael, at this time. The court minutes state that, "Hans Jorg Dieter, son of Schwaigern Mayor Hans Michael Dieter, has decided in furtherance of his expected success to render himself to Pennsylvania under Royal British Sovereignity."

They did arrive in Philadelphia later in the year and lived for a time in Lancaster County in PA. By 1736, he has taken a land patent for 200 acres in the Robinson River community among the Germanna people. The choice of the location is not unusual as Schwaigern was the home of several Germanna families. In the colonies, he became known as George Teter but he should be distinguished from the George Teter who lived at the same time in Opequon.

Returning to the possessions, the value is quoted in two denominations, Gulden and Kreuzer. I do not know the relative or the absolute value of either of these. But in the list below, values will be quoted in Kreuzer except those which specifically say Gulden (G). More to the point is what they did own:

George's property included a black coat (3G), a new gray parker (10G), a pair of leather trousers (2G). This is the only pair of trousers that he owned. Quoting now in Kreuzer, George also owned a hat (30), two pairs knitted white stockings (30), a cotton necktie (15), three shirts (15 each), and two working shirts (40 each). He also owned a book given to him by his father.

Mary's property made a longer list: one good brown skirt (1G), one worn out skirt (30), a red bodice (50), a medium brown hat (40), a heavy cap (50), a cotton Schurz (15), a white one of the same kind (20), a black Damst(?)(25), white worn sewed up cap (15), another of the same kind (10), three good skirts (30 each), two bad skirts (20 each), two good veils (30), a white neckcloth (11), pair white woolen stockings (15).

Note that no shoes are listed for either of them. Household property was listed by name but not value. That sub-list included: linen, tin pans and pots, copper pans and pots, iron pots to prepare cakes, wooden pans and pots, a bed, tables, kitchen furniture, one chair. Two new church songbooks were also included.

More of their assets were in livestock and feed: one brown cow was worth 18 Gulden, one pig at one G, one male sheep at 20 G, four zentner of hay at 2 G and 40 bands of straw at one G.

There should have been clothing for Johann Michael, the young son, but none is listed. Perhaps he had died which would be consistent with a lack of records for him in America.

Richard Phares was helpful in providing information about the family.

Germanna History Notes, Page 18, Nr. 426:

Theobald (David) Christler came to America as a nine-year-old in 1718. The family lived for a while in Pennsylvania. He moved to the Robinson River Valley at about the same time that the Garr family did. There may have been a connection in these two event, as Theobald married Rosina Garr. The name Christler or Crisler in America was Christele in Germany.

Frederick Baumgardner arrived at Philadelphia in 1732 and went to Virginia immediately where his uncle, Michael Willheit, lived. He also knew other residents of Schwaigern who had emigrated to Virginia. Baumgardner, or Baumgartner, or Bäumgardner, is a popular name in Germany and means tree-gardener or orchard-gardener. It some cases it can also mean forester.

The John and Martin Deer families appear in the Hebron Church records as Hirsch, the German word for "deer." In the civil records, the form is either Deer or Dear. John and Martin were brothers.

The George Teter family of Virginia was another Schwaigern family that arrived in Philadelphia in 1727. The family lived in Pennsylvania for a few years before settling in Virginia. An association with the Henckel family began there and, I believe, there were eventually four marriages between the two families. The German spelling of Teter was the sound-alike name of Dieter.

Three members of the Lutspike or Lotspeich family moved to Virginia in the later period of immigration, but even by then, spelling was still at the whim of the writer. In Germany, the name occurred in multiple forms with the most common being Lotspeich.

The Scheible family left no male heir in Virginia, so there are no English spellings of the name. The family came from the same small village as the Blankenbakers, Fleshmans, Schlucters, and the Thomases. Margaret James Squires, a major researcher of the emigrants from this village, thought the Scheibles might be related to the other families, but she found no conclusive proof. The Scheible family had five daughters, all of whom had the first name of Anna. Three of them were given the name Anna Maria but the first two died. Three daughters came to America in 1717 but the fate of only one, Anna Elisabetha, is known. She married Michael Holt.

Germanna History Notes, Page 33, Nr. 823:

Johann Georg Dieter emigrated from Schwaigern in 1727 with his wife, Maria Margaretha Luttman, and two children. They lived for a while in Pennsylvania, where another son was born. Then, in 1736, he obtained a patent for 200 acres on the south side of the Robinson River, adjacent to Roger Quarles and Michael Cooke. In Virginia, the name became Teter (another popular variation for people named Dieter was Teeter). George Teter died in 1744. His widow and children moved to Rowan Co., NC, and then to Pendleton County, in today's West Virginia. There were many marriages with the Henckel family.

John Paul Vogt came with a mature family in 1733, but the place of origin is unknown. He said that he was born in Frankfurt. The name Vogt has had many spellings, some of which really obscure the name. Also, he was in the habit of using all three names and many listeners heard the Paul Vogt as one name.

Another family which has obscure origins is Walk. This name could have been Volck, a fairly popular name in Germany. (The second wife of John Huffman, 1714 immigrant, was Maria Sabina Volck.) Martin Walk came in 1728, and his village of origin is unknown. His connections by marriage and business suggest that he could have come from the Kraichgal, where so many Second Colony people originated.

Johann Leonhart Ziegler came through Philadelphia, in 1732, and moved on to Virginia, where he married Barbara Zimmerman. From his land holdings, it would appear that he lived in the Mt. Pony area, where the Zimmermans and Kablers where his neighbors. Though not proven, it is highly probable that the Zieglers came from Sinsheim. The Pinnegars (Benninger) came from here and they were closely associated with the Zieglers in Virginia. Sinsheim was about eight miles northwest of Gemmingen, and was the fringe of the area from where the majority of the Second Colony came.

So far, Germanna immigrants through about 1750 to 1760 have been mentioned. A few may have been missed so, if any more are known in this time frame that have not been mentioned, please speak up. The influx of Germans after this time did not stop, even though some of the older residents were leaving the community. Some of these newer German citizens may have been transients, and, in fact, it is known that this was the case with some. A transient was often on the move, looking for a new home, and traveled only a limited distance in any one year. A community might have its appeal and the family might stay for a while before moving on. Some probably decided to stay indefinitely.

Germanna History Notes, Page 43, Nr. 1071:

The discussion here on the Redmans convinces me that we are talking about a German family; however, not all of the personal names that I gave for the Redmans are necessarily German. It may be the case that, through a convergence of names, there were two branches of Redmans, an English family and a German family. It may also be the case that the Redmans had been in the community for a while, and had marriages with an English family, with the result that some of the first names came from the English side of the family. I am still mystified how the family could have had as many members as it did and did not leave more records.

The mention of the Henkel family brings to mind another Germanna family, that of George Teter, of Schwaigern (the home of several Germanna families). The Germanna George Teter must be distinguished from another George Teter who lived in the Valley at the same time. It is seldom that there were as many marriages between two families as there were between the Teter and the Henkel families.

George Teter, born in Schwaigern, married Maria Margretha Luttman, in 1720. In 1727, Hans Jorg Dieter went to the police court in Schwaigern to obtain an exit visa (and to pay the taxes due on his property). The baptism paper of Rev. Paul Henkel in America identifies Georg Teter with Schwaigern. The Dieters arrived in Philadelphia in 1727, and lived in Pennsylvania for a few years. They then moved to Virginia, where George Teter (Jeter) obtained a patent, in Orange County, for 200 acres on the south side of the Robinson River in 1735/6. The patent was adjacent to Michael Cook, who was also from Schwaigern. George Teter died about ten years after this, for Margaret Teter obtained a bond in the administration of his estate in 1743/4. She signed for herself as Maria Mariagreda Dieter.

The record of the family grows hazy for a period. Disposition of the land and the remarriage of Maria Margaret are unknowns. Eight children are known, but two apparently died as infants, and information on one daughter is scarce. Among the knowns:

1. George (b. 1730), married, about 1764, Mary Ann Margaret Henkel.
2. Paul (b. ca 1732), married Rebecca Henkel.
3. Mary Barbara (b. May 1734), married, first, Rev. Jacob Henkel, and, second, David Harman.
4. Philip (b. ca 1733 - 36), married Susanna Henkel
5. Rosina, married Marin Peterson.

I am not sure just how the Paul Henkel, mentioned here recently, fits into this picture, but I have few doubts about his being a part of this picture. The Henkels apparently never lived in the Germanna community, but, with all of the marriages between the Henkel and Teter families, it would appear that Henkels should be honorary members.

The marriages between the Henkels and Teters took place in North Carolina, I believe. My comments are based on an article on George Teter by Franklin Cockran in Beyond Germanna.

4, Henckel Genealogical Bulletin:
Court appointed wife as administrator on Mar 23, 1744 (NS). Henckel Genealogical Bulletin, page 147 lists 11 children. On page 173 this number is reduced to 7. Eva Winfield has the 11 listed on page 147 of the Bulletin.
 1672 - 1723 Maria Catharina Frey 50 50 1671 - 1734 Hans Michel Dieter 63 63 Hans Michael/Michel Dieter was born March 26, 1671 in Schwaigern, Germany. He was the son of Wolfgang "Wolf" Dieter and Anna Catharina Zimmerman. Church records show that Hans Michel Dieter, the younger, (father of George Teter, the immigrant to America), was General Magistrate in 1699, in 1702 he was Tax and Fee Collector and Church Warden (Burgermeister); he became First Magistrate and Deputy of Mayor in 1710. In the Schwaigern Witch Trials (1712-1716), he was third ranking after the High-Earl of Neipperg and attorney-Johann Balthasar Muller. On his death record, May 2, 1734, was entered "gewesener Schultheiss" (late the Mayor) of Schwaigern. At the present time Burgermeister in Germany is what we term mayor, however in 1700, in Wuertemberg towns, Burgermeister meant the man in charge of collecting payments in money and services imposed on the citizens. The church warden did a similar job for the Lutheran church. The records show that Hans Michel Dieter was about everything a prominent man could be in his community.

Hans Michel married 1st November 19, 1695, Maria Catharine/Katharina Frey, daughter of George Frey. He married 2nd Maria Elisabetha, her surname not known, who died in 1737.

Records from the Lutheran Church at Schwaigern show only the children we record for Hans Michael Dieter and Maria Catharina Frey."The Henckel Genealogical Bulletin", page 172, states the following:

".....As we have stated so very often one must search all records, and not be guided by name alone. This time the City Archives of Schwaigern were also searched. The Lutheran Church book was examined in detail. The earlier records were from the family card files. There was a John Michael Teter ( Hans Michael Dieter), born 1685, whose marriage to Maria Katharina ----- was not recorded in Schwaigern. Children 7, 9, 10, and 11 as listed on page 147, would appear to belong to this couple, and not to our Michael....."

".....Interesting details which support it, but in some cases are confusing. To simplify this presentation I will use the more common spelling of the Christian names, and make no attempt to use the many ways they appear in the original records...."

Detailed Events Concerning the Dieter/Teter Family:
"Hans Michael Teter made a will in 1716 in which he mentioned four children. In 1724, after the death of his first wife, he made another will listing three children. It would appear the daughter Mariana Magdalena died between those dates, however no entry for this was found in the death register.

"The following material was compiled by Mr. Karl Wagenplast from records in the Archives of the City of Schwaigern. In the partition of the estate of Hans Michael Teter on 5 July 1734, the heirs are listed as the widow Maria Elisabetha (second wife); son Hans George, who emigrated some years prior to Pennsylvania; Eberhardina, wife of Jacob Baumgartner of Schwaigern; and Juliana, wife of Dieter Eberle, the baker. The records show that Juliana died in 1733, and eight weeks before the partition Dieter Eberle married Christina ---, she died 1741.

"From the partition recrods dated 5 June 1734, 'May it be remembered that the late, often cited Mayor Hans Michael Teter provided in the recorded written marriage contract of the 21 June 1728, that his surviving wife, Maria Elisabetha, have the use and enjoyment as free seat and residence-so long as God will grant her life-in his upper half of the house with all appurtenances and pieces therein described'.

"Whereas now the mother, to wit, widow Maria Elisabetha sees that her step-daughter Eberhardina would have to live in rented quarters, she the said widow-has declared herself kindly and voluntarily, without any obligation whatever, but out of pure maternal love, willing to take the daughter with her husband into her house and that she would reserve herself for her own using nothing but the free seat in the upper rooms with the bedroom and kitchen."

"Three years later, Maria Elisabetha, the mayor's widow died. The mayor's son HANS GEORGE TETER (HANS JORG DIETER), who has lived in America since 1727, received as his share still 855 Guilders at the partition.

"Herewith is to be remembered that the deceased Mayor Hans Michael Teter was bound in serfdom to the most gracious High-Earl and Lordship of Neipperg for which the three heirs must provide and pay out from his estate in equal parts twenty guilders." (Inventory and Partition Book 1733/34, p. 290b)

From the Minutes of the Police Court of Schwaigern 1727, p. 220:
"Johan George Teter son of Schwaigern Mayor Johann Michael Teter who has decided in furtherance of his expected success to render himself to Pennsylvania under Royal British Sovereignty. (This entry shows that our George Teter did come to Pennsylvania in 1727 as we thought)."

"In the handwriting of Hans Michael Teter is a partition of the estate of his father, Wolfgang Teter, dated 5 Dec. 1698. This shows as survivors: his widow Anna Catharine (Zimmerman), son Hans Michael, and daughter Susanna, wife of Hans Bernhard Bohler."

Following are comments by Mr. Wagenplast about our Dieter family:
"Hans Michael, the son of farmers, must have studied (i.e. academic studies) because his clear-cut, faultless handwriting could not be explained otherwise. Hans Michael Dieter who was soon sitting on the municipal board (a type of town council), became advocate in 1710, that is First Magistrate and deputy of the Mayor, and as such was the third-ranking figure - after the lordly ruler and his manager, an attorney from Heilbronn who served also as deputy bailiff, Johann Balthasar Muller - in the upcoming Schwaigern Witch Trails (1712-16).

"In 1724 it happened: about the middle of the year Hans Michael Dieter was entrusted with the office of Mayor by the lord of Neipperg.

"He bought a new pair of gray cloth pants for his marriage to his second wife, Maria Elisabetha. Before he owned only one pair of buckskin pants. He also bought a new doublet of black cloth and a new grey coat. Also he owned only two paris of stockings and two pairs of gloves. As a head-cover he wore a so-called beaver-hat (probably three-cornered)."

"1693, the 8th of June, Michael, the senior, overseer of the poor and juror of this place, arrived in Heilbronn while fleeing from the enemy, became ill, and was buried there, 70 years, 8 months."
 1643 Anna Catherina Zimmerman 1646 - 1697 Wolfgang Dieter 50 50 "A Partition of Estate, dated 5 Dec. 1698, in the handwriting of Hans Michael Dieter for his father, Wolfgang Dieter, farmer, shows as survivors: widow, Anna Catharine; son, Hans Michael Dieter; and daughter, Susanna, wife of Hans Berhard Bohler."

In 1750 he sold his holdings and moved to Rowan (now Davidson) County, North Carolina, settling on Dutchman's Creek about thirteen miles from Salisbury near the "Forks of the Yadkin". In 1760, because Indian depredations, they moved to Augusta County, Virginia, settling in the beautiful section known as "Germany Valley" which was located in Rockingham County, Virginia in 1778, later a part of Pendleton County (organized in 1788 from Augusta, Hardy, and Rockingham Counties). In 1863 West Virginia was formed and Germany Valley became a part of Pendleton County, West Virginia.

John Justus (Jost) Henckel served as commander of Hinkle's Fort and in furnished supplies to the Colonial forces in the Revolutionary War.

---------------------
In his will Anthony Jacob Henckel left to his two youngest sons, John Justus and Anthony Jacob, the 250-acre home farm in New Hanover Township, then in Philadelphia Co, now Montgomery Co, PA. John Justus' share was 150 acres. (Volume XXII, Philadelphia County Administration Book "C", 11 April 1720-13 June 1737, page 250)
He settled on a farm near Macungie Creek, now Lehigh Co, PN, paying taxes as late as 1748 in PN.
By 1750 he sold his property in PN and made the long journey down the mountain valleys from PN into NC what is now Davidson Co NC.
In 1751 he was living on Dutchman's Creek in the Fork of the Yadkin, approximately 13 miles from Salisbury, Rowan Co, now Davidson Co, NC. Their new land in West Augusta was near the Shawnee Indian Trail, so there the family built a log fort for protection in 1761-62, the site of which can still be seen today. The fort was built as a protection against the Indians not only for the Hinkle family but for other settlers in the area. The settlement became know as Germany Valley because the families, all of German descent, conversed in their native German. Unlike Fort Seybert and Fort Upper Tract, Hinkle's Fort was spared destruction.

----------------------------------
Germany Valley is named for the German families that were its earliest settlers. The first to arrive was the Hinkle (originally Henckel) family, which migrated from North Carolina in 1761. John Justus Hinkle, Sr (1705/6 - 1778) and his wife Maria Magdelena Hinkle (1710 - 1798), with their twelve children and their own families, came for the inexpensive farm land and relative freedom from Indian attacks. They were also attracted by the fertile limestone soils and gently rolling bottomland. They were soon joined by the Teters and by Pennsylvania Dutch families, some having migrated southwest following the ridges and through the “Valley of Virginia” from Pennsylvania's Lebanon and Lancaster counties. A few German families also moved west from Spotsylvania County, Virginia. These settlers brought the familiar custom of placing hex signs on their barns (perhaps the only section of West Virginia where these signs were once found.)

Indians were by no means absent from the region, however, as the famous Seneca Trail (or Great Indian Warpath) passed near the Valley and the nearby British positions at Fort Seybert and Fort Upper Tract had been destroyed (1758) in Indian uprisings led by Killbuck, a Delaware chieftain. Four years later, a stockade (Hinkle's Fort) was built by the men of the Hinkle family to protect these border settlements from additional Indian raids. At the time of the Revolution, the fort became headquarters and training ground for the North Fork Military Company which was organized by the sons and son-in-laws of John Justus Hinkle, Sr. The fort is long since gone, but a large arrowhead-shaped stone monument enclosed by an iron fence marks its former site. (This is along the valley road leading east from Riverton).

These traditional farming families long retained their language and “old country” customs and so the Valley became known as “German Settlement” or “Germany Valley”. At about the same time, many Scotch-Irish families also migrated from the north and bought land in Pendleton County, including Germany Valley. Although the community prospered, it long remained isolated and its agricultural economy continued to be based predominantly on forage crops, cattle, horses, milk cows, and sheep. The farms remained largely self-sufficient because the poor roads and absence of turnpikes made it difficult to reach larger markets in adjacent areas.

At the time of the American Civil War, the communities of the upper North Fork, including Germany Valley, and Franklin, were strongly Confederate in their sympathies, although nearby Seneca Rocks and the lower South Branch Valley were generally northern in persuasion. Pendleton County was a border area like many unprotected by either Federal troops or the Confederates. Such divided counties, then the rule in central West Virginia, were torn by internal strife and uncertainty and border county wars among various partisan groups were continuous. County governments often ceased to operate altogether. Many of the Valleyâ€(tm)s men joined local partisan units such as the Pendleton Scouts, Pendleton Rifles, and Dixie Boys and fought for the Confederacy. In northern Pendleton County, the Swamp Dragons, or “Swamps”, were equally strong defenders of the Union. Clashes between these units were frequent and bitter, with members of the same families often contending against one another. Raids by Union army units and Union partisans such as the Swamps occurred several times in the Valley during the war years.

Originally, the coves and moist slopes of the Valley were covered with fine timber stands, notably including black walnut. Much of the virgin forest was cut to supply local needs, and often good, commercial-grade logs were simply burned in land-clearing operations. Later in the 19th Century, professional lumbermen became interested and the remaining forests were harvested, sawn, and taken by horse and wagon to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Keyser, some 30 miles away. In the northwestern part of the county, much of the timber was hauled by logging railroad to the Parsons Pulp and Lumber Company mill at Horton in Randolph County. Due to the prevailing isolation and poor transportation system, large saw mills were not found in the area during the last part of the 19th Century. Small sash and circular saw mills, however, were present.

HINKLE'S FORT
(Germany Valley, Pendleton County, VA/WV)

Hinkle's Fort, built 1761-62, was located in Germany Valley, near Riverton. It was built by John Justus Henckel, Sr. (1706-1778), who came in 1760 from North Carolina with most of his twelve children, some with families, in search of a new home where Indians were less hostile and the soil more fertile. After a journey of weeks, they caught sight of their "promised land" when they reached the top of North Fork Mountain. Three sons, Abraham, Sr., John Justus, Jr., and Isaac, and three Teter son-in-laws were with him. John Justus, Sr. son of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, had immigrated to America in 1717 with his parents who settled near Philadelphia, PA. He later moved to North Carolina.

The fort was built as a protection against the Indians not only for the Hinkle family but for other settlers in the area. The settlement became know as Germany Valley because the families, all of German descent, conversed in their native German. Unlike Fort Seybert and Fort Upper Tract, Hinkle's Fort was spared destruction.

During the Revolutionary War, Hinkle's Fort became the only outpost in Pendleton County for the patriot forces. John Justus Henckel, Sr. had been officially recognized for his services as commander of the fort and in furnishing supplies to the troops (detachments of the Virginia Militia) quartered there. The fort was headquaters and training grounds for the North Fork Military Company which had been organized by settlers early in the Revolutionary War and whose first captains were son-in-laws and sons of John Justus Henckel, Sr. After the Revolutionary War and when danger of Indian raids was past, the fort was torn down and some of the timbers used to build a large house on the site.

The family of John Justus Henckel, Sr. became a leading one in the early settlement and history of Pendleton County. Most of his sons and grandsons served in county offices.

1. In 1750 John Justus Henchel sold his holdings in Pennsylvania and moved to Rowan, North Carolina. In 1760 because of Indian depredations he moved with his family to Augusta County, Virginia and settled in a beautiful section known as Germany Valley. This was included in Rockingham County, Virginia, in 1778 and became part of Pendleton County in 1788. In 1863 the State of West Virginia was formed, and it included Germany Valley in the Union District of Pendleton County, West Virginia. The first improvement in Germany Valley by John Justus
Henckel was the construction of a stockade with an enclosed area sufficient to house the families of his sons and sons-in-law as well as the other settlers in the immediate vicinity. This structure was known as Hinkle's Fort and was used as an outpost prior to and during the Revolutionary War. The attacks of the Indians during this period caused all settlers in this area to seek shelter and safety in this fortress. John Justus Henckel, Sr, was the recognized commander of the fort at which Colonial troops were occasionally quartered. At his death in 1778 he was succeeded by his son, Abraham Hinkle.


2. They first lived in Macumbie Creek, 10 miles from Allentown. In 1750 John sold his land and moved to Cutchmans Creek in Rowan County (nowDavidson), North Carolina. Due to Indian threats they moved to German Valley Settlement, Pendelton County, Virginia.

The first improvement in Germany Valley by "Yost" Henkle was the construction of a stockade wiith an enclosed area, sufficiient tohouse his family, the families of his sons and sons-in-law as well asthe other settlers in the immediate vicinity. Known as "Hinkle's Fort" this structure was an outpost prior to and during the RevolutionaryWar. Attacks by Indians during this period caused all settlers in thevicinity to seek shelter in the safety of the fort. Colonial Troopswere occasionally quartered here.

The site of the fort near Riverton, Pendleton County, West Virginia was located in 1925-27. In 1930 the Henckel Family Association erected a marker on the site of the old fort.

The services of John Justus Henckel as commander of Hinkle's Fort and in furnishing supplies to the Colonial forces has been recognized
officially by the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution and other patriotic orders as a qualification for membership


3. The Hinkle Family, by Linda Adams

In his will Anthony Jacob Henckel left to his two youngest sons, John Justus and Anthony Jacob, the 250-acre home farm in New Hanover Township, then in Philadelphia County, now Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. John Justus' share was 150 acres. In about 1730, John Justus married Maria Magdalena Eschmann, daughter of Abraham and Elizabeth Eschmann of German-Swiss origin, and settled on a farm near Macungie Creek, now Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, paying taxes as late as 1748 in Pennsylvania.

By 1750 he sold his property in Pennsylvania and made the long journey down the mountain valleys from Pennsylvania into North Carolina. In 1751 he was living on Dutchman's Creek in the Fork of the Yadkin, approzimately 13 miles from Salisbury, Rowan County, now Davidson County, North Carolina. He and his family lived there until danger from Indians prompted him to move his wife and twelve children to what is now Germany Valley, Pendleton County, West Virginia. Their new land was near the Shawnee Indian Trail, so there the family built a log fort for protection in 1761-62, the site of which can still be seen today. John Justus, his sons, and his sons-in-law participated actively in the defense of the frontier during the Revolutionary War and furnished supplies for the Continental forces. The Hinkle Fort farm became the headquarters and training grounds of the North Fork Battalion.

After John Justus' death in 1778, his son Abraham owned the property and carried on through the remainder of the war and until danger from Indians passed. A granite marker was unveiled by the Henckel Family Association at the site of the Hinkle Fort on September 29, 1936. A monument was also erected to the memory of John Justus and his wife in the graveyard of the Henckel homestead at a spot near the grave of Abraham Henckel.

Children of John Justus and Mary Henckel were: Anna Maria Elizabeth, b. 1731, m. Moses Ellsworth; Jacob Henckel, b. ca. 1733, d. 1779, m. Mary Barbara Teter; Rebecca, m. Paul Teter; Catherine, m. Adam Biffel; Mary Magdalena b. 1739, d. October 18, 1829, m. John Skidmore; Abraham b. ca. 1749, d. 1815, m. Mary Catherine Teter; Susannah Henkel, married Philip Teter; John Justus, Jr., b. January 14, 1752, d. 1794, married Christiana Negely; Hannah, m. Andrew Johnson in 1791; Elizabeth, m. Christian W. Ruhlman, d. 1754; Isaac, b. ca. 1756, d. October, 1824.

Solomon and Ambrose Henkel, great grandsons of John Justus Henckel through his son, Jacob Henkel, established the Henkel Press in 1806 at New Market, Virginia. They published, among other items, church minutes and pamphlets, small graded school books, and hymnals. In 1807, Ambrose Henkel began the publication of the first German newspaper in the South, "Virginia and New Market Popular Instructor and Weekly News." Nearly all the publications were in German; some pamphlets were in English. They were noted, however, for their publication of the works of Luther in the English language, sanctioned by the Tennessee Synod. Henkel family papers, correspondence, and items printed by their press have been preserved in the rare books and manuscripts collections at the College of William and Mary, the University of Virginia, and Duke University.


4. Hinkle's Fort, Germanna Valley, Pendleton County, West Virginia

Hinkle's Fort, built 1761-62, was located in Germany Valley, near Riverton. It was built by John Justus Henckel, Sr. (1706-1778), who came in 1760 from North Carolina with most of his twelve children, some with families, in search of a new home where Indians were less hostile and the soil more fertile. After a journey of weeks, they caught sight of their "promised land" when they reached the top of North Fork Mountain. Three sons, Abraham, Sr., John Justus, Jr., and Isaac, and three Teter son-in-laws were with him. John Justus, Sr. son of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, had immigrated to America in 1717 with his parents who settled near Philadelphia, PA. He later moved to North Carolina.

The fort was built as a protection against the Indians not only for the Hinkle family but for other settlers in the area. The settlement became know as Germany Valley because the families, all of German descent, conversed in their native German. Unlike Fort Seybert and Fort Upper Tract, Hinkle's Fort was spared destruction.

During the Revolutionary War, Hinkle's Fort became the only outpost in Pendleton County for the patriot forces. John Justus Henckel, Sr. had been officially recognized for his services as commander of the fort and in furnishing supplies to the troops (detachments of the Virginia Militia) quartered there. The fort was headquaters and training grounds for the North Fork Military Company which had been organized by settlers early in the Revolutionary War and whose first captains were son-in-laws and sons of John Justus Henckel, Sr. After the Revolutionary War and when danger of Indian raids was past, the fort was torn down and some of the timbers used to build a large house on the site.

The family of John Justus Henckel, Sr. became a leading one in the early settlement and history of Pendleton County. Most of his sons and grandsons served in county offices. Isaac Hinkle and his nephew, Moses Hinkle,were two of eleven justices commissioned by the governor of Virginia to organize the new county of Pendleton, 1788. Eleven years earlier, Isaac Hinkle had been similarly commissioned to assit in the formation of Rockingham County, VA.

Markers at the site of the fort and at the graves of John Justus Henckel, Sr. and wife were dedicated on September 19, 1936 at a Henckel family reunion with several hundred descendants from throughout the United States in attendance who came to pay a lasting tribute to the memory of one of their patriarchs.

John Justus "Jost" Henkel, son of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel, was born in Daudenzell, Germany, 10 February 1706 and died August 1778 in Germany Valley, Pendleton Co., WV. He was eleven years of age when he reached Pennsylvania where he grew to manhood on his father's farm in New Hanover Township.

After he married Maria Eschmann, a German-Swiss, about 1730, they removed to Upper Milford Township in Bucks (now Lehigh) County,. near Dillingerville, Pennsylvania where they joined the Gossenhoppen Congregation. Until 1748 he paid taxes there, but in 1750 he sold his land, and by 1751 he and his family, which then included ten children, were living on Dutchman's Creek in the Forks of the Yadkin in Rowan (now Davidson) County, North Carolina. Two more children were born in Rowan County, North Carolina.

After only ten years in Rowan County, NC, John Justus Henkel in 1760 removed to Germany Valley on the north fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River in Augusta, later Rockingham County, VA, and now Pendleton County, WV. All of his children including three of his married children and their families were said to have accompanied him to Germany Valley, but there is doubt that his daughter Catherine who married John Adam Biffle made the move. The successful arrangements for the migration of so many individuals required the mind and leadership of a remarkable individual. The records of his family clearly indicate that John Justus Henkel was indeed an exceptional man.

A careful study of Henkel and Biffle records raises serious doubt if Catherine Henkel and her husband Adam Biffle accompanied her father to Germany Valley. A daughter Mary was born ca. 1758 in Rowan Co., NC; son John, their eldest son, was born there in 1760, the same year of the removal, and their youngest son, Jacob, was born there in 1763. If the couple did remove to Germany Valley, they must have soon returned because other Rowan County records place Adam in that county as late as 1779. By 1779 he removed from Rowan County and entered land on the south bank of the Holston River Valley in what is now Sullivan County, Tennessee. In this move, as already mentioned, he was accompanied by his son-in-law, John Jacob Eller, Jr.

Among the married children who removed to Germany Valley with John Justus Henkel were his oldest daughter, Anna Maria Henkel and her husband Moses Elsworth, his oldest son, Jacob Henkel, and his wife Barbara Teter, and daughter Rebecca Henkel and her husband Paul Teter. Among the three couples were several grandchildren, including young Paul Biffle, son of Jacob and Barbara Teter Henkel, who was destined to become a most distinguished Lutheran minister, printer and publisher of the southeastern frontier.

All of his sons-in-law, his sons and some grandsons were active in the Revolutionary War. His family fort became a military fort and was used to quarter and drill the militia. The Henkel Family Association in 1938 placed a handsome granite arrow-head monument honoring John Justus Henkel near the site of his fort. Also a West Virginia Historical marker which mentions the Hinkle Fort is placed adjacent to highway # 33 overlooking Germany Valley. (Note: My wife and I visited these sites soon after Conf III but were advised not to attempt to reach the Henkel cemetery without making prior arrangements.)

One reason often mentioned for the move of the Henkels from Rowan County was to escape Indian problems associated with the uprising among the Cherokees in 1760. This explanation seems implausible since the land on which they settled in Germany Valley was adjacent to the Seneca and Shawnee Indians trail along which much Indian traffic still passed between the northern and southern tribes. The first task facing the family upon their arrival was the erection of a fort large enough to protect the large extended Henkel family from Indian attack. It seems unlikely that John Justus Henkel would not have known that Indian problems existed in Germany Valley prior to his arrival there.

A more logical explanation suggested by some for his move to Germany Valley, was his concern about the legacy he would leave his large family of children and grandchildren. He was past fifty years of age when he decided apparently that sufficient fertile land could not be acquired in Rowan County to insure the future security for his children and grandchildren. He was attracted to the more fertile limestone soil in Germany Valley where cheap land was abundant. His decision then sprang apparently from that same impulse, common to all early settlers of that period - the desire for more and better land that would provide economic security for his immediate family and future descendants.

John Justus Henkel and members of his family are buried in a grave on the hillside overlooking the site of the fort. The dimensions of the character, intelligence, and accomplishments of John Justus Henkel are revealed in part by his great courage and skill in safely removing such a large number of family members from Rowan County to Germany Valley and building a historic fort. Equally revealing was his concern for his families future, and his acquisition of much land to insure that future. Perhaps the major revelation about this remarkable man was the transmission of the essence of his own character and moral values to his children and grandchildren.

Rev. Anthony Jacob Henkel (known in history as Rev. Gerhart Henkel), an exiled Lutheran clergyman who came from Germany to Pennsylvania in 1717; one of the founders of his church in America, and father of a great and honorable posterity. They were Palatine Germans.

The first Henchel to come to America was Rev Anthony Jacob Henchel. About the time of the unbearable religious persecution in Germany, William Penn had become head of a Colony in the new world, designated as Penn's Woods (Pennsylvania). He needed hard working, responsible colonists to help him develop this colony so he could meet the revenues required by the Crown (English Government). Penn, able to speak German, went to Frankfort and personally invited these persecuted Lutherans to come to his colony. Rev Henckel, pastor of the Lutherans, and in conflict with the Catholic
Authorities, decided to resign and join with his neighbors in 1717 to go to the new world.

Here, he resumed his pastoral duties and with his family became a leader in the religious and cultural life of the colony.

1605 Matthias Henckel 1576 - 1651 Casper Henckel 75 75 ~1550 Ludwig Henckel Most genealogists identify Ludwig as Casper's father and Anthony as
Ludwig's father. However, from the Henckel - Teter Connection, it
appears that there is no direct evidence of those connections. That
source states:
"It was also determined (by Dr. Burt Brown Barker and those associated
with him in extensive research in Germany) that the father of Matthias
Henckel was a Caspar Henckel also of Alllendorf-Ad-Lumbda. He was born
in 1576; died March 2, 1651, age 75 years. This apparently identified
the great-grandfather of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel.
Here seems to be the end of the line, or it probably would be better to
state the beginning of the known line of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel so
far as direct evidence is concerned. However, in a preceding generation
of this family, a Ludwig Henckel was found who was born about 1535 and in
the next preceding generation an Anthony Henckel who was born about 1500
A.D. This research effort is not only remarkable, but (it) is astounding
that any family outside of Royalty could lift the veil so far in the
distant past. Great credit is due not only to officers of the national
Henckel Family association, but also to the vast number of descendants
who, taking great pride in their ancestry, have engaged in local research
that has made this record possible." ~1500 Anthony Henckel 1736 - 1801 Christina Westfall 65 65 Abraham Kittle and Christina Westfall emigrated from New Jersey Colony to the south branch of the Potomac. From there they moved to the Tygart River Valley near Beverly, Randolph County, Virginia.

 1903 - 1989 Helene Altrude McCall 85 85 Helene and Merble met at college at Halstead (Harper?), Kansas. In 1924 they were visiting friends in Kansas, and decided to get married in Scott City. When they came home, they didn't tell anybody for several weeks. It must have been pretty awkward. They laughed about it later. 1903 - 1973 Floyd Merble Bachman 69 69 Floyd Merble Bachman was born in Oklahoma Territory near what is now Broxton, Oklahoma in Caddo County on November 25, 1903. He was the son of Albert and Mary (Trekell) Bachman. He moved with his parents and brothers and sisters to Kay County, Oklahoma, when he was four years old. He attended grade school at the Red Top School of South Eddy.

He attended high school at Tonkawa in his freshman year, then went to Deer Creek two years. His last year of high school and first year of college were spent at a Christian school which was then located at Harper, Kansas. Here he met his future wife, Helene McCall of Helena, Oklahoma.

He went to business college in Wichita, Kansas and Helene went to Northwestern at Alva. In 1924 they were married at Scott City, Kansas. They settled on a farm six miles north and one east of Deer Creek, Oklahoma, where he farmed.

During the first winter of their marriage, Merble taught at the Clare School to help make ends meet. He also had a threshing machine and ran it in the summer for the first eleven years of their married life. Times were extremely difficult during the great depression of the early thirties. Merble went through the country buying cattle and hired them hauled to Wichita when he got a truckload, in hopes of making a few dollars. Another way Merble worked to provide for his family, was to fatten calves and butcher one periodically. He then peddled cuts of the carcass through the community. Not having a pickup truck, he would take out the back seat of the family car and cover the area with a clean sheet, then load the beef inside. Then he would drive until it was all sold.

During the late thirties, Merble and Helene did everything they could do to try to make some extra money. As did many other farmers, Merble filled a gasoline lantern, hung it in the henhouse each night and let it burn as long as it would. Electricity had not yet come to the farm, and since the hens laid more eggs when the days were long, the farmers stretched their production by the use of an artificial light.

In 1943, Merble and Helene bought a farm two miles east, three and a half miles north of Deer Creek, Oklahoma. This place had free natural gas for heat and lights, as opposed to the wood and coal they had used through the years for heat.

In 1964, Merble and Helene bought a home in Blackwell, Oklahoma and moved into it. On February 11, 1973, Merble passed from this life and was buried in the cemetery west of Tonkawa, Oklahoma.

The children of Merble and Helene were Edwin, Bebe Jean and Merlene.

Edwin married Mary Virginia Keney and they settled on the farm which his grandfather had owned, one mile north of Deer Creek, Oklahoma. Their children were Anita, Debra, Don and David.

Bebe Jean married Robert Montgomery. Their children were Marilyn and Robbie. Bebe Jean and her hus-band are living in Cleveland, Ohio, at this writing.

Merlene married Don Webster. Their children are Jerry, Barbara, Robert, Michael and Patricia. They make their home at Pryor, Oklahoma, and both work with the school system there.

-------------------------------
Albert O. Bachman was born in 1876 in Napoleon, Indiana. He was the second son of Edmund and Lydia Bachman. They came to Conway Springs, Kansas in 1884.

While in school at Conway Springs, Albert met his future wife, Mary Trekell, who was in the 7th or 8th grade then, went to Conway Springs to stay with her brother Will who was teaching school there. For a short while she lived there and did the cooking and housekeeping for her brother while going to school. Albert and Mary became interested in each other and began to correspond after Mary returned home.

In 1893 Albert came to Oklahoma with his family when they filed a claim in the Cherokee Outlet. For a while he taught school near Medford.

Meanwhile, Albert's correspondence with Mary had continued, and they were married in February, 1900 near Wellington, Kansas. In 1901 he took part in the Kiowa-Comanche lottery for land, but failed to win a claim. However, he was able to buy a claim near Apache in Caddo County, and in 1903, with their two small children, they moved in a covered wagon to Caddo County, fording the rivers between here and there. Once there, they dug a well, built a two-room frame house and other improvements and lived there five years.

Their home was about ten miles from the nearest doctor. During this time the Bachmans lost their second child, Clarence, to membranous croup. Eva started to school while there at a little country school. While living there, three more children, Merble, Ruth, and Lester were born.

The Bachmans were not happy in Caddo County. Due to field work, the school term lasted only about three months. As Albert often said, "I didn't want to raise my children where they turned out school to pick cotton and where women worked in the field."

In 1908 the Bachmans sold their farm and bought one near Eddy, Oklahoma where they lived about ten years. One son, Kenneth, was born there. In 1918 they sold this farm and moved to Grant County.

They bought three farms and sold two before finding the spot on which they wanted to build their home. In 1919 they bought a farm one mile north of the town of Deer Creek. This land was near the school and town, so in the winter of 1921 and 1922 they built a house there. Albert and Mary Bachman lived in this house until Albert's death in 1938. Mary Trekell Bachman died in 1949. She was buried beside her husband in the IOOF Cemetery west of Tonkawa.

In 1949 Albert's grandson, Edwin, bought the north eighty acres of this farm and he and his wife Mary reared their family in the house Albert built.

Albert and Mary's daughter, Eva, married Houston Moore and they lived on the Moore farm east of Renfrow.

Merble married Helene McCall and they established a home in the Deer Creek area.

Ruth, Lester and Kenneth were all graduates of Oklahoma A&M College. Ruth taught Home Economics at Hennessey. Lester taught Vocational Agriculture and later was in the Soil Conservation Service in seven counties of Oklahoma. Lester had two children, Dick and Dee Ann. He is now retired and lives in Enid.

Kenneth Bachman went to work in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics in Washington, D.C. In World War II he served as Lieutenant (J.G.) in the Navy. Then after earning his doctorate at Harvard University he returned to work in the U.S.D.A. He is now retired and lives in Reston, Virginia, He has one son, Kenneth, Jr., who is practicing law in Washington, D.C.

 1849 - 1925 Lydia Ann McKee 76 76 Maybe she died July 19?
 1848 - 1935 Edmund Eaton Bachman 86 86 Edmund was named after his maternal grandfather Edmund Eaton. The Eaton family were if English descent and came to Napoleon in 1819 from Steuben County, NY. Members of the family were still in Napoleon in 1970 at the time of the town's 150-year celebration.

Edmund grew up in Napoleon and in 1871 married Lydia McKee. The McKees apparently were also one of the pioneer families in Indiana. Her father and mother were born there in 1807 and 1817, respectively.

After spending a few years in Southern Illinois Edmund and Lydia returned to Napoleon. Then in 1884 they moved to Conway Springs in south central Kansas. While living there, he became a minister of the Christian Church.

Much of Oklahoma was opened for settlement by "runs" in 1889 and 1893. The settlers lined up on the Kansas line and at the sound of a gun rode or drove off to stake a claim for 160 acres of land on a first come first serve basis. Ownership was established by farming the land for 5 years.

Edmund participated in the Cherokee Stip run starting at "high noon" on September 16, 1893. He settled on a claim near Jefferson, Oklahoma in Grant County about 30 miles from the Kansa line. In addition to operating the farm he also served as a pioneer minister and established several churches in Northern Oklahoma. He became the first regular minister of the Christian Church at Medford, Oklahoma, the county seat of Grant County.

Kenneth L. Bachman wrote (in addition to most of this), "In 1917, at the age of 68, he retired from the ministry and moved to Tonkawa, where we visited them frequently and I carried away many memories.

"Particularly, I remember the Edison phonograph which played cyindrical records. Later it was replaced with a Victroa which played the more modern flat records. The records included such items as comedy dialogue by "Uncle Josh", Mr. Gallagher & Mr. Shean, songs by Homer Rhodeaver, Caruso and Henry Lauder, orchestra music by Paul Whitman and marches by John Phillip Sousa. My uncle Clarence, who held a job equivalent to vice president of the Kansas City Paper House, had given the phonograph and records to my grandparents.

"In the garage converted from a buggy shed was a Model T Ford with a gleaming copper radiator. The age of the auto was underway and my grandfather had bought his about 1914. Later when I was 5, we bought our first car - a Ford.

"Clarence, as noted earlier, was a business executive. George operated the St. Croix Hotel in Wichita, Kansas. His oldest daughter "Mollie" married a farmer and lived in Western Oklahoma.

"Three children, Lewis, Ellen, and Albert (my father) died of tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was one of the most common causes of death in the late 19th and early 20th century. A major source of the disease was unpasteurized milk.

"In 1925 my grandmother died. My grandparents had been very devoted to each other and it meant a great change for my grandfather who was then 77. He lived about 10 years after her death, dividing his time among his three living sons. His visits provided a chance for me to get better acquainted with him.

"When he visited us, he would regularly walk down the creek to where the water was deep and go fishing. Sometimes I would go with him, though I found it boring partly because we fished with a cane pole and a cork and there was little action. Frequently we would walk out to the mail box on the road to get the mail. He would sometimes talk about his life and his philosophy of life. We would often play checkers which he enjoyed, but I never mastered. One of the surprising things I remember his showing me was a radium burn on his stomach from the treatment of a cancer by the famous Mayo Clinic in Minnesota."

-------------------------------
Edmund E. Bachman was born at Napoleon, Indiana in 1848 to Lewis and Elenor (Eaton) Bachman. He went to school there, and as a young man worked as a tanner in his father's tannery.

In 1871 he married Lydia McKee, daughter of Samuel McKee. Soon after their marriage they moved to Carmi, Illinois. Their oldest daughter Mary (Mollie) was born there. In the early 1870's they moved back to Napoleon, Indiana where their other five children, Lewis, Albert, Elenor, Clarence, and George were born. Then in 1884 Lydia and Edmund made the journey from Indiana to southern Kansas with their six children. The oldest was twelve at that time and the youngest two.

They lived on a farm near Conway Springs, Kansas until the opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1893. In the race the Bachmans located on a claim five miles east and one north of Jefferson. Mollie took a claim north of her parents. The Bachmans built a home and reared their family, enduring the hardships of pioneer life. Edmund enjoyed fishing and gardening. The family always had a large garden, and whenever he got a chance, Edmund would slip off with a canepole to the creek to fish.

They were a religious family. While living in Kansas he began to preach and continued as a pioneer preacher in Oklahoma. He held meetings in school houses and helped establish several churches over the County, driving a horse and buggy to the places where he preached. He performed marriage ceremonies and conducted funeral services when called upon. His wife remained at home with the family while he was performing these services for the church. The older boys were able to carry on much of the farm work. Edmund was the first regular minister for the Christian Church in Medford.

Mollie married Al Riggs and they had two children, but tragedy struck and Al died. Mollie stayed on the claim until she married Tom Wilson and they moved to Woodward County. Lewis died of tuberculosis at the family home southeast of Medford, Oklahoma Territory in 1898 at the age of 23. Albert married Mary Trekell. Elenor married Norman Brown, but she and her young son both died while living southeast of Medford, Oklahoma Territory when she was a young woman, in 1906. They were buried four miles east of Jefferson, Oklahoma Territory. Clarence married Agnes Ferguson and lived in Kansas City. George married Nellie Hughes and lived near Mutual, Oklahoma for a while, then in Wichita, Kansas. Mollie, Lewis, and Albert taught schools.

In 1903 the Bachmans sold their farm and moved to Medford to live. While living there, they sometimes went to Eddy to visit the family of their son Albert. This trip took about a day each way by horse and buggy. On such occasions both families would pack a picnic lunch and go fishing on Deer Creek, west of Tonkawa, Oklahoma.

About 1917 the Bachmans moved to Tonkawa. While he was in a gospel meeting in California, Edmund's voice failed and he retired from preaching. His wife Lydia died in 1925. Edmund then moved from place to place living with each of his children for a time. He was living in Kansas City with his son Clarence at the time of his death in 1935, and was buried beside his wife in the IOOF Cemetery west of Tonkawa.

Lewis married 3 times and had 7 children. He was buried in the Lutheran Cemetery at Napoleon where his gravestone remains. 1804 Sarah Kenan ~1805 Edmund Eaton Census: 1850 Jackson Township, Ripley County, Indiana, Occupation: 1850 Farmer, Real Estate value $2000

Sarah and Hiram were listed in the 1860 census, but Edmund was not. Maybe he died between 1850 and 1860.

Believing that slavery was wrong, Bennett Langston freed his slaves, sold his plantation, and moved to Union County, Indiana, where he settled near the present site of Liberty.  T.W. Langston of Indianapolis, Indiana said Bennett had a big part in organizing the government of that part of the state where he settled.  Bennet and his wife are buried in the old Baptist graveyard called the Village Creek a few miles southeast of Connersville, Indiana. 1734 - 1810 Sarah Bennett 76 76 1732 - ~1825 Solomon Langston 93 93 DAR shows that Solomon was born in Ireland.

French and Indian War veteran.

Served in the American Revolutionary War in the Spartan Regiment. (In 1890 the Upper Duncan's Creek Church, originated in 1777, was renamed, Langston Baptist Church in honor of Solomon Langston).

Langston Baptist Church, originally organized as Upper Duncan's Creek Church, was first constituted a church in 1777, and was renamed for Solomon Langston (the father of Dicey Langston) in 1890. It was used as a muster ground for South Carolina Volunteers, a Confederate company in 1861.

1710 - 1740 Mary Agnes Mangum 30 30 The Langston families, the Mangum families & the Bennett families appear to have migrated to North Carolina about the same time (around 1745), and lived in the same area, as well as later in South Carolina (around 1769).
 1710 - 1790 John Langston 80 80 His will was probated November 11, 1790.

The Langston families, the Mangum families & the Bennett families appear to have migrated to North Carolina about the same time, and lived in the same area, as well as later in South Carolina.

These migrations might have been the result of the political disturbances known as the Regulator movement. The Regulator movement was organized by small farmers in the Carolina backcountry to protect themselves from lawless elements in the absence of colonial authorities. Supporters of this movement had economic and political grievances against the Eastern aristocracy. These political disturbances and the repressive measures taken by the government beginning in 1768 caused many Baptists to seek new homes in other states.

John's will was probated 11 Nov. 1790, Ninty Six Dist., SC.

John Langston (1710-1790) is a recognized Patriot of the Revolutionary War, and his descendants are eligible for membership in the D.A.R. and the S.A.R. But he was pretty old to be fighting that war, and there doesn't seem to be any evidence. His sons Absalom and Solomon did fight in the Revolutionary War.


 Ann Vann ~1660 - 1748 John Langston 88 88 John lived in New Kent and Nansemond County, VA, and Chowan (now Gates) County, NC. John as the eldest son apparently inherited the Sarum Creek property in Chowan County, North Carolina, from his mother, Katherine Langston. The first mention of John Langston II was July 30, 1726, when he was granted 450 acres in Chowan, North Carolina. it is uncertain whether he ever lived on this property as he appeared to have lived andied in Nansemond County, Virginia.

A deed was made by John Langston II on November 25, 1739, involving a land swap. It read in part "plantation tract...on the north side of the Sumerton Swamp, containing 200 acres...to Richard Green...(in trade) for a plantation in Chowan County called Sarum, 150 acres which is part of a tract formerly taken up and patented by one Katherine Langston." The document was signed by John Langston II and witnessed by Jon Langsto, Jurn. (John Jr.), Thomas Langston, William Langston, and Joseph Vann. Other items of interest revealed in the deed were that John Langston II was of Nansemond County, Virginia, and the he made the trade "for his son John."

On December 12, 1739, John Langston II of Upper Parish, Nansemond County, Virginia, sold to his son William Langston of Chowan County, North Carolina, 100 acres from the original tract patented by Katherine Langston. The deed was witnessed by John Langston, Jr., Robert Rogers, and Richard Green.

The last 450 acres of Katherine's land was sold by John Langston, Sener (Sr.) to Charles Russel for 40 barrels of tar. Witnesses include Jacob Langston, William Landen (Langston?).

The last mention of John Langston II was from a vestry book of Upper Parish, Nansemond County, Virginia. The first entry indicates John paid one tithable over charge. The second item indicates his land was "processioned."

No will has been found for John and his wife's name remains unknown. However, six children have been identified by various deeds. ~1620 - 1699 Catherine Mountford 79 79 ~1620 - 1694 John Langston 74 74 John lived in New Kent and Nansemond Co. VA, and Chowan (now Gates) County, North Carolina. There must have been a John Langston present in the colonies before our him as there are records of an "importation headright" for a John Langston of New Kent County, Virginia, on July 11, 1635, mentioned in the Edward Pleasant Valentine papers published by the Valentine Museum, Richmond, Virginia. This seems too early for our ancestor unless he immigrated as a child. Possibly John is a little older than we thought.

At any rate, many records were lost to fire in the Revolution and later during the Civil War, but several records exist regarding our John Langston I. One which is of great interest is his participation in Bacon's Rebellion.

Nathaniel Bacon was the leader of Bacon's Rebellion in colonial Virginia. Dissatisfied with the mismanaged government of Sir William Berkeley, the British colonial governor of Virginia, and his neglect of frontier defense, Bacon organized a rebellion in which John Langston I was a colonel. Because of repeated Indian attacks on the settlers, the pioneers joined Bacon. They nearly succeeded in capturing the entire colony of Virginia. They captured the village of Jamestown and destroyed nearly all of it. Then Nathaniel Bacon became ill with malaria and died. Shortly after Bacon's death the revolt fell apart. Colonel John Langston surrendered with or shortly after the capitulation of Bacon's successor, Joseph Ingram.

Several of the leaders of the movement were hung by Governor Berkeley. Thankfully for his descendants, John was not one of them. However, John was elected to represent New Kent County in the colonial assembly, the House of Burgess. The record states, "John Langston, Joseph Ingram, Gregory Walklett, Thomas Whaley, and John Forth (are) prohibited from ever holding office in the colony... have failed capture and execution with the other adherents of Nathaniel Bacon Jr." Another document mentions John being pardoned by act of the Assembly in January 1680, but forbidden to ever hold public office.

John Langston I received a land grant for 1,316 acres on September 28, 1681, 1,300 acres of which were found to be in escheat from Mrs. Hannah Clarke, and 16 acres for one right (not named). The land was located on the south side of the Yorke River. He didn't settle on this land though, because a month later the land was granted to someone else. After 1681 he was no longer found in New Kent County and was thought to have removed to Nansemond County, Virginia.

The last mention of John I occurs on April 20, 1694. Katherine Langston, widow of John Langston... granted 380 acres on Cyprus Branch of Sarum Creek in Nansemond County, Virginia. So John died sometime between 1681 and 1694; he must have had the land grant pending when he died. A woman was allowed to inherit land only if she had a male heir to leave it to. In the event she didn't have a male heir the land reverted to government control. An example of that law at work was the previously mentioned Hannah Clarke being found to be in escheat. John Langston was granted her land in New Kent County.

The last mention of Katherine Langston was in a land grant issued June 6, 1699. "John Nichols was granted 249 acres in Upper Parish, Nansemond County at the Cyprus Swamp, joining Katherine Langston." After 1699 no mention of Katherine or any Langston on the "Quit Rent Rolls in 1700."
 1601 Elizabeth Worrell 1603 - 1681 Henry Langston 78 78 Our possible relative, Henry, was about 18 years old in 1620, when 102 hardy souls boarded the Mayflower and sailed for an area to be called Plymouth, and landed at Plymouth Rock.

Henry's will was proven in Worcestershire on July 22, 1681, left his entire estate to his wife and no mention was made of children. Neither does his will state that he was without issue. However, two sources of British genealogy mean that Henry and his wife had issue but the children were not named.

16 October 1660 - 7 November 1660. Henry Langston, Matthew Wilder, John Rowse, William Wheatley, James Abrathat, Lawrence Washington, Thomas Colclough, John Benbow and Roger Jeffryes shippers of goods on the King Fernando, Mr. John Whittey, bound from London to Virginia. 1581 Judith Bailey ~1564 - 1633 Anthony Langston 69 69 Esquire of Littleton.
Anthony's will of 16 November 1633 was proven December 2 8, 1633, Prerogative Court, Canterbury. Judith was executrix of her husband's will.

Taken from Virginia Historical Magazine "Virginia Gleaning in Englan d:" "It has pleased God to bless and enrich me with many children. And that no one son shall have preminence I make my wife Judith sole executris. To every of my sons L5 each not as a portion but as a token of my love to them. To my son Francis Langston and heirs the house and land now in occupation of Henry Farmer the younger. To Anne Langston my daughter L800 hoping she will be ruled in marriage by her mother and brethren who love her most. I leave all charitable actions to my executrix not doubting she will have a godly zeal in disposing to the glory of God and to myne and her credit. Residue to my said wife Judith." Witnesses: Henry Langston, Russ Andrews, Fra. Harewell, John Gravison.

It is possible that the testator was the father of Anthony Langston, who, according to a document in the English Public Record Office, was an ensign in Prince Maurice's regiment, went to Virginia about 1648, returned to England in 1662, and soon afterwards killed a man in a brawl. He was pardoned and became a captainn in the navy. He prepared a letter on the condition of Virginia and especially on the need of iron-works, which is among the Egerton MSS., British Museum. Anthony Langston obtained two grants of land in Virginia. The first, to "Mr. Anthony Langston" Sept. 6, 1653, was for 1303 acres on the north side of York River in Gloucester County, adjoinging Mr. Hammond's land. Due for the transportation of 20 persons (names not given). The other, April 26, 1653, was to "Mr. Anthony Langston" for 1000 acres in New Kent County on the south side of the freshes of York River, adjoining the land of Col. Man. (Mainwaring) Hamond. Due for the transportation of Daniel Rever, Hem. Chiversal, Elizabeth Andrews, Mary Smith, Elizabeth Kent, William Feild, Mary Creeton, William Davis, Richard Clarke, Richard Crouch, Mary Puckerell, Elizabeth Thompson, Hoell Thomas, Richard Johnson, Mary Clerke, Runberen Davis, Roger Jones, and Robert Bridley.

A little later a John Langston was resident in the same County, New Kent. He took the side of Bacon in his Rebellion, and by act of Assembly June 1680, was disqualified from every holding office. He had been elected a Burgess for New Kent in this Assembly, but was not allowed to take his seat. In 1704 the name does not appear among the landholders of New Kent or the counties formed from it, but it is possible that John Langston had a daughter or daughters, as Langston appears later as a baptismal name in several New Kent families. John Langston had two grants of land. The first, 1681, to "John Langston" for 1300 acres in New Kent, being the land formerly granted to Hannah Clarke, found to escheat by Marke Work man, Deputy Escheator, and now granted to John Langston. The other, to "Mr. John Langston" Sept. 28, 1681, for 1316 acres in New Kent, adjoining the lands of Sir Philip Honeywood, the river, land patented by Moses Davis, and of John Fleming, Thomas Glass, and James Turner, being the land formerly granted to Mrs. Hannah Clark and found to escheat.

There was a group of loyalists in this section. Sir Philip Honeywood, Col. Mainwaring Hammond and Anthony Langston had been loyalist officers, as had been William Bassett of the same county. Mrs. Hannah Clarke was widow of John Clarke, of York County, who was a son of Sir John Clarke, of Wrotham, Kent, England. She was also the executrix of Sir Dudley Wyatt, a Royalist officer, who died in Virginia in 1651, and was, no doubt, either his daughter or widow. 1537 - 1621 Ann Darston 84 84 ~1522 - 1591 Henry Langston 69 69 Children

John Mangum was born About 1672 in Lawnes Creek, Surrey, Virginia, and died 1737 in Upper Parish, Isle of Wight, Virginia appraisal ordered 26 Sep 1737 burial; Mangum Estate.  He married Frances Silvester Bennett Abt. 1694 in possible date and place Isle of Wight, Surry Co., Virginia, daughter of Richard Bennett and Ann Unknown.  She was born Abt. 1676 in Upper Parish, Isle of Wight, Virginia, and died Aft. 1737 in Isle of Wight, Virginia. ~1713 - 1780 Anne 67 67 People mention Mary Beatty as Richard's wife, but Ann is mentioned in his will. It's possible that Mary Beatty was his first wife. ~1717 - 1764 Richard Bennett 47 47 The Langston families, the Mangum families & the Bennett families appear to have migrated to North Carolina about the same time, and lived in the same area, as well as later in South Carolina.

~1636 - >1682 Anne Barham 46 46 Anne Barham is most likely his wife, but it's not certain.

It's possible that either Anthony, Anne, or both are descended from the Barhams, Nicholas (b.1450), William, William, William, Richard (d.28 Sep 1638), instead of Nicholas, John, Thomas, Robert, Robert. ~1625 - 1709 Richard Bennett 84 84 Richard Bennett resided at Blackwater, in the vicinity of the plantations of Justinian Cooper & Francis England, according to deed records. The Blackwater Bennetts are not closely related to the family of Virginia Governor Richard Bennett around the same time period.

Richard Bennett Sr. was born in 1625 at Mulberry Island, near Lawnes Creek, (later Isle of Wight County, Virginia) and died in Isle of Wight County, Virginia in 1709. His first wife was named Ann. She was probably the mother of all his children.

His wife Ann was most likely the sister of Anthony Barham, but it's not certain. Anthony Barham was married to Elizabeth Pierce, half sister of Richard Bennett, about February, 1625. Elizabeth Pierce Barham, widow of Anthony, married her second husband Richard Jackson and had 2 daughters Mary & Sarah Jackson.

Richard was the son of Thomas Bennett and wife Mrs. Alice Pierce (Pearce), Widow of Thomas Pierce of Mulberry Island. He was their only child of record.

Thomas Pierce was killed in the Massacre of 1622 at Martin's Hundred. Thomas's wife and daughter Alice and Elizabeth Pierce were thought to have been killed in the Indian massacre, but they survived.

In 1624 Elizabeth Pierce, daughter of Alice & Thomas Pierce, chose her "father-in-law (stepfather) Thomas Bennett, as the Administrator of her estate.

Thomas Bennett represented Mulberry Island in the House of Burgesses in 1632. He was deceased prior to 1641. (Boddie)

After Ann's death, Richard Bennett married Sarah Lewis, Widow of Daniel Lewis who died in Isle of Wight County in 1697/8. . After the death of Richard Bennett, SR in 1709, Sarah married her third husband, Robert Lancaster. He died in 1720, and Sarah made her will in 1722 as Sarah Lancaster, which was proved in 1723 Isle of Wight County.

 1592 - >1642 Alice Pierce 50 50 Thomas Pierce, wife Alice, and Daughter Elizabeth sailed for Virginia in August, 1618 on the magazine ship William and Thomas.

She had only one child with Thomas Pierce and only one with Thomas Bennett.

She was engaged to John Filmer, who died and left all his property to her. She probably married Anthony Barham afterward.

Thomas Bennet was her fourth husband.

Maybe Anstie Thompson Spicer was Richard's mother?

In October, 1624, Elizabeth Pierce, daughter of his wife Alice, chose her "father-in-law"  (stepfather) Thomas Bennett, as her guardian.

On that same date, she testified before the Governor’s Council in an inquest into the death of an indentured servant named Elizabeth Abbott. She told of finding this woman, who was the servant of her neighbor, after she had been horribly beaten. After nursing her wounds she and Thomas returned the woman to the neighbor as the law required. Her testimony was very courageous because the neighbor, John Proctor, was a powerful member of the Governor’s Council. Other servants described how the woman had received hundreds of lashes from a whip with fish hooks attached to tear human flesh.

Another witness in this trial was Anthony Barham
 ~1587 - >1632 Thomas Bennett 45 45 Thomas Bennett is listed in the 1624 Virginia census on the south side of the James River, near Lawne's Creek.

Shortly after this census Thomas Bennett married Alice Pierce, the widow of Thomas Pierce who was killed in the Massacre of 1622 at Martin's Hundred. Thomas Pierce's wife and daughter had been reported as killed, but had survived.

In October, 1624, Elizabeth Pierce, daughter of his wife Alice, chose her "father-in-law"  (stepfather) Thomas Bennett, as her guardian.

On that same date, Alice Bennett testified in a trial concerning a servant who had been mistreated by her master, Mr. John Proctor, after her husband Thomas Bennett, and a Mr. Richards had carried her home. Another witness in this trial was Anthony Barham

Thomas Bennett appears as a tenant on the Governor's land at the mouth of the Chickahominy, January 1626/1627.

Thomas Bennett served in the House of Burgesses representing Mulberry Island in 1632. Mulberry Island is in Warwick County, whose records have been lost.  No further record has been found on Thomas Bennett.

Anthony Barham and his wife, Elizabeth, were living at Mulberry Island in the census of 1624/1625 This is on the north side of the James River, where Thomas Pierce had his plantation. Anthony crossed the Atlantic on the Abigail in 1621, and Elizabeth on the William and Thomas in 1618.

Anthony was Burgess from Mulberry Island in 1629-1630. Anthony Barham died in 1641, and named "Mother Bennett" and his brother-in-law Richard Bennett in his will. Elizabeth Pierce Barham married Richard Jackson, by whom she had two daughters, Sarah, who married Arthur Smith II, and Mary, who married George Hardy.

Richard was the only child of record of Thomas Bennett and his wife Alice. Richard Bennett resided at Blackwater, in the vicinity of the plantations of Justinian Cooper & Francis England, according to deed records.
