From The Henckel - Teter Connection, pages 30-31 "Johann Georg Dieter was born in Schwaigern, Wurttembourg on June 7,1699 and married Maria Margaretha Lüttmann there on November 19, 1720.Their first two children were born at Schwaigern before they boardedthe sailing ship 'Molly' enroute to Pennsylvania. They arrived inPhiladelphia September 30, 1727, almost exactly ten (10) years afterthe arrival of the family of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henckel with whomtheir children intermarried. Johann George probably settled in ornear New Hanover and thus affiliated with the Henckel family. On January 10, 1735-36, Johann Georg Dieter, the elder, obtained agrant of land in Robinson River, Orange County (now Frederick County),Virginia (Virginia Patent Book 16, page 475) where he died intestatein 1744. His widow and children then moved to Rowen County, NorthCarolina apparently along with members of the Henckel family. In1760, because of Indian uprisings, they moved to present day PendletonCounty, West Virginia with other members of that settlement." Teter and Henckel Marriages According to The Henckel - Teter Connection, The Henckel Genealogy byJunkin (page 194) indicates that at least four of Johann's childrenintermarried with the Henckels, as follows: 1. Paul Teter married Rebecca Henkle, born October 5, 1736 in upperMilford township, Bucks county (now Lehigh County) Pennsylvania. PaulTeter 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 aboutApril 30, 1741. 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 Yagerin the Mt. Pony area. He paid for the land with his own headright.The absence of other headrights suggests he came as a bachelor. Hewas naturalized 24 Feb 1742/3. Later he appears with a wife Rebeccain deeds. A Joseph Cooper (Kooper) patented 400 acres in 1726 and in 1728 hepatented another 404 acres in the Mt. Pony watershed. He wasassociated with many known Germans and is thought to be Germanhimself. He married a Barbara and died very early. A Jacob Prosie was the administrator of the estate of Barbara Cooperin 1735. He might have been a German. George Slaughter patented 300 acres in the midst of the Germans in theRobinson River area giving the names of his adjacent German neighbors.In the tithe list of 1739 the name is given as Slater. Since thetithe list was composed by English people, they tended to use Englishnames which were approximate sound alikes to German names. Thisconfuses us today because it hides the German origins of many men. Inthis 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 havebeen his. His Robinson River community patent was forfeited, claimedby William Fowler and sold to Michael Utz. Michael Stoltz died in1741/2 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 abig impact as he headed the three person team which solicted funds inEurope. Stöver came to the colonies through Philadelphia with his sonof the same name. Later the senior Stöver went to North Carolina andwas living there when he joined forces with the Lutheran congregationin the Robinson River community. George Teter had his origins in Schwaigern, the home of many otherGermanna settlers. He arrived with his family 1727 at Philadelphia.He lived a while in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania where a son JohnGeorge was christened in 1730. He obtained a patent in the RobinsonRiver area 10 Jan 1736(NS). He died in Orange Co. in 1743. John Paul Vogt (Vaught, etc.) was born in Frankfurt in 1680 and camewith his family through Philadelphia in 1733. On 10 Jan 1736(NS) hetoo (see Teter, above) had a patent for 640 acres. He moved to theShenandoah Valley in 1744. Martin Walk is probably Hans Martin Valk who landed at Philadelphia in1728. He married Catherine,the daughter of Michael Clore. Martin andTobias Willhide had a joint patent of 400 acres on branches of DeepRun. Martin moved to North Carolina. Thomas Wayland (Wieland in German) came in 1719 and patented land in1728. He lost most of this land because it was in conflict with anearlier patent of John Broyles (Johannes Breyhel). John Willer made a donation to the Lutheran church in 1734. Mostlikely, he was not German but his wife was. Johann Leonhart Ziegler came through Philadelphia in 1732 and moved onto Virginia where he married Barbara Zimmerman. He appears to havelived in the Mt. Pony area outside the Robinson River community. These additional names reinforce the idea that the community wasrapidly growing. Many of the individual stories show thatPennsylvania was the gateway. In some of the cases, we understand whythe person moved on to Virginia but in other instances we are leftwondering. Germanna History Notes, Page 6, Nr. 137: In 1727, Hans Jorg Dieter and his wife Maria Margaretha Luttman ofSchwaigern wanted to emigrate to Pennsylvania. They went to thepolice court to get permission and to pay the necessary taxes. Therean inventory of their possessions was made. The list is interestingfor what it contains. At the time Hans Jorg was in his late twentiesand Maria Margaretha was in her middle twenties. They should have hadone child, Johann Michael, at this time. The court minutes statethat, "Hans Jorg Dieter, son of Schwaigern Mayor Hans Michael Dieter,has decided in furtherance of his expected success to render himselfto Pennsylvania under Royal British Sovereignity." They did arrive in Philadelphia later in the year and lived for a timein Lancaster County in PA. By 1736, he has taken a land patent for200 acres in the Robinson River community among the Germanna people.The choice of the location is not unusual as Schwaigern was the homeof several Germanna families. In the colonies, he became known asGeorge Teter but he should be distinguished from the George Teter wholived at the same time in Opequon. Returning to the possessions, the value is quoted in twodenominations, Gulden and Kreuzer. I do not know the relative or theabsolute value of either of these. But in the list below, values willbe 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 trousersthat he owned. Quoting now in Kreuzer, George also owned a hat (30),two pairs knitted white stockings (30), a cotton necktie (15), threeshirts (15 each), and two working shirts (40 each). He also owned abook given to him by his father. Mary's property made a longer list: one good brown skirt (1G), oneworn out skirt (30), a red bodice (50), a medium brown hat (40), aheavy 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 ofthe same kind (10), three good skirts (30 each), two bad skirts (20each), two good veils (30), a white neckcloth (11), pair white woolenstockings (15). Note that no shoes are listed for either of them. Household propertywas listed by name but not value. That sub-list included: linen, tinpans 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 wasworth 18 Gulden, one pig at one G, one male sheep at 20 G, fourzentner of hay at 2 G and 40 bands of straw at one G. There should have been clothing for Johann Michael, the young son, butnone is listed. Perhaps he had died which would be consistent with alack 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 theRobinson River Valley at about the same time that the Garr family did.There may have been a connection in these two event, as Theobaldmarried Rosina Garr. The name Christler or Crisler in America wasChristele in Germany. Frederick Baumgardner arrived at Philadelphia in 1732 and went toVirginia immediately where his uncle, Michael Willheit, lived. Healso knew other residents of Schwaigern who had emigrated to Virginia.Baumgardner, or Baumgartner, or Bäumgardner, is a popular name inGermany and means tree-gardener or orchard-gardener. It some cases itcan also mean forester. The John and Martin Deer families appear in the Hebron Church recordsas Hirsch, the German word for "deer." In the civil records, the formis either Deer or Dear. John and Martin were brothers. The George Teter family of Virginia was another Schwaigern family thatarrived in Philadelphia in 1727. The family lived in Pennsylvania fora few years before settling in Virginia. An association with theHenckel family began there and, I believe, there were eventually fourmarriages between the two families. The German spelling of Teter wasthe sound-alike name of Dieter. Three members of the Lutspike or Lotspeich family moved to Virginia inthe later period of immigration, but even by then, spelling was stillat the whim of the writer. In Germany, the name occurred in multipleforms with the most common being Lotspeich. The Scheible family left no male heir in Virginia, so there are noEnglish spellings of the name. The family came from the same smallvillage as the Blankenbakers, Fleshmans, Schlucters, and the Thomases.Margaret James Squires, a major researcher of the emigrants from thisvillage, thought the Scheibles might be related to the other families,but she found no conclusive proof. The Scheible family had fivedaughters, all of whom had the first name of Anna. Three of them weregiven the name Anna Maria but the first two died. Three daughterscame to America in 1717 but the fate of only one, Anna Elisabetha, isknown. 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 inPennsylvania, where another son was born. Then, in 1736, he obtaineda patent for 200 acres on the south side of the Robinson River,adjacent to Roger Quarles and Michael Cooke. In Virginia, the namebecame Teter (another popular variation for people named Dieter wasTeeter). George Teter died in 1744. His widow and children moved toRowan 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 oforigin is unknown. He said that he was born in Frankfurt. The nameVogt has had many spellings, some of which really obscure the name.Also, he was in the habit of using all three names and many listenersheard the Paul Vogt as one name. Another family which has obscure origins is Walk. This name couldhave been Volck, a fairly popular name in Germany. (The second wifeof John Huffman, 1714 immigrant, was Maria Sabina Volck.) Martin Walkcame in 1728, and his village of origin is unknown. His connectionsby marriage and business suggest that he could have come from theKraichgal, where so many Second Colony people originated. Johann Leonhart Ziegler came through Philadelphia, in 1732, and movedon to Virginia, where he married Barbara Zimmerman. From his landholdings, it would appear that he lived in the Mt. Pony area, wherethe Zimmermans and Kablers where his neighbors. Though not proven, itis highly probable that the Zieglers came from Sinsheim. ThePinnegars (Benninger) came from here and they were closely associatedwith the Zieglers in Virginia. Sinsheim was about eight milesnorthwest of Gemmingen, and was the fringe of the area from where themajority of the Second Colony came. So far, Germanna immigrants through about 1750 to 1760 have beenmentioned. A few may have been missed so, if any more are known inthis time frame that have not been mentioned, please speak up. Theinflux of Germans after this time did not stop, even though some ofthe older residents were leaving the community. Some of these newerGerman citizens may have been transients, and, in fact, it is knownthat 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 anyone year. A community might have its appeal and the family might stayfor a while before moving on. Some probably decided to stayindefinitely. Germanna History Notes, Page 43, Nr. 1071: The discussion here on the Redmans convinces me that we are talkingabout a German family; however, not all of the personal names that Igave for the Redmans are necessarily German. It may be the case that,through a convergence of names, there were two branches of Redmans, anEnglish family and a German family. It may also be the case that theRedmans had been in the community for a while, and had marriages withan English family, with the result that some of the first names camefrom the English side of the family. I am still mystified how thefamily could have had as many members as it did and did not leave morerecords. The mention of the Henkel family brings to mind another Germannafamily, that of George Teter, of Schwaigern (the home of severalGermanna families). The Germanna George Teter must be distinguishedfrom another George Teter who lived in the Valley at the same time.It is seldom that there were as many marriages between two families asthere were between the Teter and the Henkel families. George Teter, born in Schwaigern, married Maria Margretha Luttman, in1720. In 1727, Hans Jorg Dieter went to the police court inSchwaigern to obtain an exit visa (and to pay the taxes due on hisproperty). The baptism paper of Rev. Paul Henkel in Americaidentifies Georg Teter with Schwaigern. The Dieters arrived inPhiladelphia in 1727, and lived in Pennsylvania for a few years. Theythen moved to Virginia, where George Teter (Jeter) obtained a patent,in Orange County, for 200 acres on the south side of the RobinsonRiver in 1735/6. The patent was adjacent to Michael Cook, who wasalso from Schwaigern. George Teter died about ten years after this,for Margaret Teter obtained a bond in the administration of his estatein 1743/4. She signed for herself as Maria Mariagreda Dieter. The record of the family grows hazy for a period. Disposition of theland and the remarriage of Maria Margaret are unknowns. Eightchildren are known, but two apparently died as infants, andinformation 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, fitsinto this picture, but I have few doubts about his being a part ofthis picture. The Henkels apparently never lived in the Germannacommunity, but, with all of the marriages between the Henkel and Teterfamilies, it would appear that Henkels should be honorary members. The marriages between the Henkels and Teters took place in NorthCarolina, I believe. My comments are based on an article on GeorgeTeter by Franklin Cockran in Beyond Germanna. Henckel Genealogical Bulletin Court appointed wife as administrator on Mar 23, 1744 (NS). HenckelGenealogical Bulletin, page 147 lists 11 children. On page 173 thisnumber is reduced to 7. Eva Winfield has the 11 listed on page 147 ofthe Bulletin. Hebron Church Community Here is an interesting article from the "Henckel GenealogicalBulletin", p. 84.: George Teter of the Hebron Church Community "Among the most interesting chapter in Virginia colonial history isthat relating to the efforts of Governor Spotswood to settle a numberof German families up on the Rappahannock River and have them work theiron mines there. This settlement finally was abandoned. The twogroups of people who had been there (Lutheran and Reformed) separated,the Reformed families going to what later was called Germantown inFauquier County, and the Lutherans farther up the river valley, to asite in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Here came to be one of themost important and most flourshing of all the German colonies in thecountry 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 costof their transportation. Governor Spotswood advanced this money and sothey became his indentured servants. He settled them on the south sideof the Rappahannock River, near "Germanna", but not actually there,where three years before he had established a German Reformed colonyfrom Nassau-Siegen. The Lutheran group of twenty families was quiteseparate from the Reformed colony, and did not live at the same place.Thenames of the heads of families in this first Lutheran group areknownand include: Michael Cook, Michael Smith, George Uts, and MichaelClore. "The new location was on both sides of the Robinson River and WhiteOak Run, in what is now Madison County, Virginia. The Robinson Riverisa branch of the Rapidan. A radius of about eight miles would includethe homes of all the German colonists, with Hebron church as acenter.The original group was soon joined and increased by othernewcomers, many of them from Pennsylvania. In 1733, the number ofcolonists was about three hundred. This colony formed, at that time,the most advanced outpost of white civilization. This was inSpotsylvania County, and in 1734 it became part of Orange County, andin 1748 it became Culpeper County, and in 1792 it became MadisonCounty. "The present church was built in 1740, and is the oldest LutheranChurch built and still used and owned by Lutherans in the UnitedStates. It is older than the Trappe Church in Pennsylvania. "On January 10, 1735/36 a land grant was given to George Teter for 200acres of land in Orange County "on the south side of the RobinsonRiver, 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'squarter, in the precinct of James Pickett, constable, is the name ofGeorge Teter (next to Ludowick Fisher, and near Michael Cook, HenrySnyder, Mathias Castler, and other known members of the Hebroncommunity). "There are no deed records in Orange County involving (this) GeorgeTeter. The Court Minute Books show that on 28 Nov. 1740, the suit byattachment brought by 'George Tetter' plaintiff against the estate ofone Charles Kitching defendant was dismissed. At a Court on March 23,1743/44, the suit of George Teater plaintiff vs Joseph and DavidKincadedefendants, being abated by the death of the plaintiff wasdismissed. "George Teter died, apparantly, early in 1744. In Orange County WillBook 1, p. 339, is a copy of the administration bond of MargretTeateras adminintratix of the estate of George Teater Dec'd. The bondis dated March 20, 1743/1744, George Utz and Michael Clore sign itwith heras sureties, and it is witnessed by James Porteus. The bondwas acknowledged in Court on March 22, 1743/1744, and then recorded. "An inspection of the actual bond shows that the widow signed the bondherself as "Maria Mariagreda Dieter". The last name is partly coveredby 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 Teatordeceased. At court on May 24, 1744, the appraisement was returned byChristopher Zimmerman and admitted to record. It is recorded andtotaled 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. Itwould seem to indicate that George Teter was a man of education, andfairly well-to-do. The fact that the widow signed her own name to thebond shows that she too was well educated for the time, and a woman ofcharacter....." "It is possible that after the death of her husband in 1744, beingleft with several small children, the widow Mary Margaret Tetermarried again. At any rate she probably soon removed to North Carolinawith the children. No further mention of her occurs on the record orwhat became of George Teter's land after his death. If the widowmarried again, any later transfer of the property might be lostthrough the change in name. A careul study of the early Orange andCulpeper 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 settlersof Pennsylvania, asking for protection from the Indians. Among thesigners were: Rev. A. Jacob Henckel, his son Gerhard, son-in-lawValentine Geiger, son-in-law (perhaps future) George Geiger, andJohann George Dieter (Teter)." "History of St. Clair Co., (IL), F167: ".....By 1735 they owned property in Virginia where Hans George becameknown as Old George Teter of Hardy County. "Four of Old George's children married children of John JustusHenckel. It is probable that both families were living in NorthCarolina when Old George's son, Paul married Rebecca Henckel (ca1760). They returned soon after this marriage to Virginia and settledin Augusta County. Paul served as a captain in the Revolutionary War." According to WFT Vol. #3, Pedigree #1009, Georg is buried at theHebron Church Cemetery, on the Robinson River, in Orange County,Virginia.
