Continuing the list of German names in Fauquier County who have not previously been identified as members of the Germanna community, there is John Crimbacher. Perhaps he did not have a major impact on the affairs of the county since he has only one known record, but see the closing paragraph here.
There were two Everhards. In Germany, the name would probably have been spelled as Eberhard or Eberhart. The two were Jacob and Jasper. Jacob married Elinder Cettle (Settle?) in Fauquier.
There were also two Funks, Conrad and Frederick. Not only does the name Funk suggest a German origin, but Conrad and Frederick are good German names.
Another man who has a minimum of records in Fauquier is Adam Fink, which duplicates a known German name in the Second Colony.
Apparently there were three Shultz (probably Schultz) men in Fauquier, Benjamin, Benjamin, Jr., and Joseph. The latter two married Thompson girls.
The Swartz name seems to have been undergoing a transition as one record refers to Abraham Swartz by the alias of Black. Since Schwartz does mean " black " in German, the name can hardly be doubted as a German name. Besides Abraham, there were Barrett and James. Though the latter two given names are beginning to sound English, the name Barnett was used quite early in the Fischer family.
John Wasser was probably a German and, if so, his name means "water" in German.
The appearance of Frederick Zimmerman is a surprise as this is probably the Frederick Zimmerman who lived in Culpeper County and whose father (or grandfather) came with the Second Germanna Colony. Frederick lived in the Mt. Pony area of Culpeper, in particular near to Stevensburg.
Some of these people may not have had a big impact on others in Fauquier County, but still they may have been responsible for a significant event. To give an example from the Second Colony, George Trumbo had only one record, a baptism, in the Robinson River area. Still from this baptism, it was possible to tell that he had married one of the Utz girls. Other records show he was from the area now a part of West Virginia, but the important part is, that by tracking him down, another line of Germanna descent has been located.
