John Blankenbaker's Germanna History Notes

Note 1031

Continuing with the list of names used by Alexander Spotswood as headrights:

Remember that the names on the left are as the author of the Headright List choose to spell them.  The names on the right are a modern spelling, with some exceptions.

First, some hidden relationships may not be apparent.  Susanna Wever was a sister to Michael Clore.  Her husband died quite early and Susanna married, in Virginia, her second husband, Jacob Crigler.

The Clores, Weavers, the two Smith families (brothers), and the Milckers, all came from the same village, Gemmingen (some photos from Gemmingen are on the photo page).  After the arrival of these families in Virginia, there were no further records for the Wegman or Milcker families.

The Blankenbakers and the Fleshmans were related in as much as Anna Barbara Schöne was the mother/stepmother/grandmother of the Blankenbakers, Henry Schuchter, and the Fleshmans.  Cyriacus Fleshman was her husband.
