Zirkle Family History

-fo-™ HW Compiled by J. William Harpine PREFACE

For more than a dozen years the author has been doing research work on the pioneer family, The Zirkies, who came from Germany in 1725 and first locating in Pennsylvania and later making their permanent settlement in Shenandoah County, Virginia, at a place called "The Forest" now Forestville, Virginia.

The first Zirkies locating in Virginia were a mother, five brothers and two sisters--namely, Michael, Andrew, Lewis, George Adam, Peter and their mother, Maria Eva.

Their one sister, Margaret, had married Michael Nehs prior to coming to Virginia on March 6, 1753. The other children married after arriving in Virginia.

The Zirkies were honest, frugal and hard-working people and accu­ mulated rather large estates. They ail owned and lived on their farms. They were rural people. Farmers, tanners and millers.

Also they brought with them their religion, Lutheran faith, and established churches where they located. They were instrumental in building Rader's Church, St. Mary's Church (Pine Church), St. Matthew Church in New Market and Locust Grove Church in Botetourt County.

Many of their descendants remained in Virginia where most of them had large families of boys and girls. Some of them moved to other states. Tennessee claims quite a number of them, West Virginia many of them, Ohio received their share, many other states such as Indiana, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, California and in many other states you will find descendants of the first Zirkies.

Many of their descendants remained on farms, some of them are ministers, some of them are teachers, some of them are doctors, some of them are lawyers and some of them have become efficient office holders in the state, in the nation and some in foreign positions.

Some of them were soldiers in the various wars of independence and freedom. Some of them lost their lives to protect the United States. They were willing to give themselves in order that freedom might reign. d'lx oX

My grandmother, Susannah Zirkle, born in 1813 and died in 1877, married May 27, 1840, Abraham Harpine, my grandfather, born in 1810 and died 1854.

They were farmers, members of the Lutheran Church and lived near Moores Store, Shenandoah County, Virginia. Buried in Solomon's ceme­ tery. Parents of seven children.

She was a daughter of Jonathan Zirkle and Elizabeth Wolgamood and granddaughter of Michael Zirkle who came from Pennsylvania with his mother, four brothers and two sisters in 1755 and located at Forestville, Virginia.

The Zirkies and the Wolgamoods were of German descent. Their ancestors came from Germany and first located in Pennsylvania in 1725 where they lived for about thirty years. On their way to their permanent settlement in Shenandoah County, they evidently stopped for some time possibly as much as a year in Eastern Virginia before they located at Forestville.

This short history does not include all of the Zirkies and their de­ scendants by blood and marriage. The writer has endeavored to mention the early ones down to the third or fourth generation. He has been interested in compiling a more fuller account of Michael and Catherine Zirkle and their descendants.

It would be a colbssal undertaking for a person to write a complete history on Lodowick and Marie Eva Zirkle and their descendants. It would take years of research to gather necessary information needed as well as considerable expense. We find the five Zirkle brothers married and had fifty-nine children. The two sisters married and had a number of children.

The author has gathered information from the following sources. Libraries, county clerk offices, cemeteries, family Bibles, corre­ spondence and personal contact.

Omissions and errors will be found in this history. Often omissions have occurred on account of lack of information. To cover a period of two hundred and fifty years we find many of the records on this noted family have been lost or burnecL In the early cemeteries where many of them are buried we find no markers at their graves, In the old family Bibles, where their births, marriages and deaths were recorded, have been burned and otherwise been misplaced or destroyed.

CHAPTER I.

LODOWICK AND MARIE EVA ZIRKLE. THE FIRST ONES

Lodowick and Maria Eva Zirkle came from Germany in 1725 and lo­ cated in Pennsylvania where Philadelphia now stands. It is likely Mr. Zirkle was married before he came to America as he mentions in his Last Will and Testament a son, George Henry Zirkle, by a former mar­ riage to receive a certain portion of his estate. When and where his first wife died we have no record. Neither do we have any record when he was married the second time nor her name. Considering all facts leading up to their family, we could be justified in saying they were married in the early 1730's. The best information we have, their first child (second marriage) was born about 1733 and if this date is correct, likely they were married about 1732.

His last Will and Testament was written October 22, 1746, in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and probated January 17, 1747. A copy of his Will will be found on the next page.

The Zirkies left Germany because of religious persecution like many others where they could worship according to their consciences. They were members of the Lutheran Church.

Mr. Zirkle was a farmer and owner of some land. He gave an acre of land to the Indianfield (Little Sion) Lutheran Church at Telford several years before his death. He died in 1746 and is buried in a cemetery in Philadelphia. Some time after the death of Mr. Zirkle his widow married a Mr. Ottinger who died before they came to Virginia. According to the records in the clerk's office in Philadelphia their daughter, Margaret, married Michael Nehs on March 6, 1753.

In 1755 Maria Eva Zirkle Ottinger, two daughters and five sons moved to Virginia to a place called "The Forest" now Forestville, Shen­ andoah County, Virginia. On their way to their permanent home they stopped for some time in East Virginia around Culpeper. Just how long they stayed in Eastern Virginia is not known, but likely a year or so.

The date of the death of the mother, Maria Eva, we find no record but it is assumed she died in Virginia. Likely she is buried in the old Nehs-Zirkle graveyard on the east banks of Holmon's Creek near Forest­ ville. In the graveyard are buried many of the old Zirkies. Years ago some of the graves were marked by suitable markers but now (1962) the stones have all been removed and the burial lot has become a pasture field.

It is safe to say that all of the early Zirkies, Branners, Harpines, Roushes, Nehs, and Pences were members of the Lutheran Church. Many of their descendants are still members of the same church. These families mentioned and a number of others are largely responsible for the establishing and maintaining of Solomon's Church, St. Mary's Church, St. Mark's Church and Rader's.

Names ofi Lodowick and Maria Eva's children: 1. Margaret Zirkle 5. George Adam Zirkle 2. Michael Zirkle 6. Peter Zirkle 3. Andrew Zirkle 7. Catherine Zirkle 4. Lewis Zirkle Note: This may not be in order of their births.

Here is an exact copy of Lodowick Zirkle's last Will and Testament in paragraphing, spelling and punctuation.

Philadelphia County Franconia Township Probated Jan. 17, 1747. I beling sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks being given to God.

Philadelphia Co. Deeds, Pa. (From original records) Peter Snyder of Rockhill Township, Bucks Co. in Book G. --pp. 553 and Maria Eva Zirkle, of Franconia Township, Philadelphia County, widow of Lodowick Zirkle, late of said Township of Franconia, deceased to Peter Gerhard. Indenture Nov. 7, 1730, William Allen, Ecq. of the City of Philadelphia granted to James Bingham the Gather tract of land on a branch of Perkeomong, Philadelphia County-500 ac. and 6% allowance. (Re­ corded in Philadelphia Book GI, page 325. James Bingham, the father, in his Will August 24, 1737, devised to sons James and William the sons. Testator has sold but not actually conveyed that part of the land intended to be hereby granted unto John Hirtsey--said John William the sons, and the said John Hirtsey Dec. 13, 1744, granted the last mentioned part of 152 1/4 ac. to Lodowick Zirkle and Lodowick Zirkle by his Will of October 28, 1746 empowered exors. to sell his real estate if necessary for the payment of his debts and funeral charges - also devised one ac. of the said land for the use of the prober Lutheran Church so long as the sun and moon shines, and he the said testator appointed Peter Snyder and his wife, Maria Eva, to be his executors. BookD. 12-548. Feb. 14, 1750. Maria Eva Ottinger and Peter Snyder to Easterly, Maria Eva Zirkle and Alias Ottinger of the township of Franconia, Philadelphia County, widow, and Peter Snyder of Richhill Township, Bucks County, exors, of Ludwick Zirkle, deceased sadler (same history of land as aboe) After testator's decease Maria Eva inter­ married with Christopher Ottinger also deceased, and there not being sufficient personal estate to discharge the debts of the said Lodowick Zirkle, deceased. - sell 74 1/4 acres.

The above would suggest that Lodowick Zirkle was a man of some means and owned at death considerable real estate and personal peroperty. He was not only a farmer but a saddler. At time mentioned all young men learned a trade so he learned the trade of harness and saddle trade.

Maria Eva Zirkle's second marriage to Christopher Ottinger was of short duration as we notice that he was already deceased by 1750. No children by second marriage. He died several years before the Zirkies moved to Virginia. We find the name Ottinger very prevelant in Tennessee. They were of the German descent and first located in Pennsylvania and later on moved to East Tennessee. At one time there were several fam­ ilies of Ottingers living in Shenandoah County in the neighborhood of Forestville and Moores Store. Likely the first ones came about the time that the Easterlys, Harpines, Branners and Nehs came to Virginia. (I755--1775).

The early ones that came from Pennsylvania and located in Virginia their parents or grandparents came from Germany. For many years they spoke the German language. Their ministers preached in German and their children were taught to speak German.

Perhaps the origin of the name Zirkle will interest you. The name Zirkle (or in the oldest form "Zirkler") means the "Natchwachter" the town crier or nocturnal watchman, who makes his regular circulation, his "Zirkle" - a very meritorious, but not exceedingly superior occupation. 8

When our forefathers came from Germany around 1725, the Zirkies, first landed in or near Philadelphia some of them remained in Germany. The descendents of the early Zirkies are many and are located in almost all the states of the United States. The children of Lodowick Zirkle were all farmers and rural people owning their own farms and were progressive farmers, millers and tanners. The early ones weee members of the Lutheran Church and most of them were religious people who helped to build churches and church houses. In the years some of their descendants have become fine businessmen, professional men and some of them preachers and teachers. CHAPTER II

MICHAEL ZIRKLE AND HIS DESCENDANTS

Michael Zirkle (2) son of Lodowick and Maria Eva Zirkle b. June 29, 1735; d. Oct. 2, 1811; mar. Catherine b. July 12, 1747; d. Nov. 16, 1830.

He was born in Pennsylvania and moved with his mother, four brothers and two sisters in 1755 (at the age of 20 years) and located at a place called "The Forest" now Forestville, Virginia. Their first child, Catherine, was born August 14, 1763. Likely they were married in 1762. She was fifteen years old when she married. Her name before marriage we have no record.

They were farmers and church people and lived near Forestville, Virginia. They were members of the Lutheran Church and attended serv­ ices at Rader's near Timberviile before a house of worship was built at Pine Church (St. Mary's) near Rinkerton. He was one of the trustees of Pine Church.

He served in the militia (Shenandoah County) in 1775. He was census taker in 1785. At that time his family tabulated 12 members. At his death he owned several farms, a tan yard and other investments.

They are buried in the old Nease- Zirkle family graveyard on the east side of Holmon's Creek just about one mile northeast of Forestville. At one time their graves were marked by a suitable monument. No trace of any markers in this cemetery now, 1962.

Some of Michael's real estate transactions, as follows:

On June 1, 1755 he purchased land on Holmon's Creek from a Mr. Funkhouser who had gotten it from Lord Fairfax in 1752. In 1755, Michael and Andrew, his brother, received grants of land from Lord Fairfax, On June 27, 1792, he purchased 161 acres of land from David O'Roark near Timber Ridge. On February 25, 1805, he sold to James Evans one acre of land in New Market. (This was the same land he purchased from Peter Pats el September 12, 1789). On February 25, 1805, he sold to David Strickler 5 acres of land. On June 7, 1811, he sold to John Coffman, Jr., 1/2 acre of land in New Market.

I. Catherine Zirkle (3) the oldest child of Michael and Catherine Zirkle b. Aug. 14, 1763; mar. George Roush b. in 1761; d. May 31, 1845. He was a son of John Roush, Sr. , and Susannah Roush and was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia. We are unable to give the exact date of their marriage. We find their first child was born November 22, 1780. Verly likely they were married in 1779 or 1780. After their marriage they remained in Virginia for about twenty years. Ten of their twelve children were born in Shenandoah County. They were farmers. We find that John Roush, Sr. , and Susannah, deeded land to George Roush on May 22, 1786. In the late 1790's they moved to Mason County, West Virginia,where they lived for a number years and then moved to Ohio. In 1807 he moved to Meigs County, Ohio, where he bought a farm containing 160 acres from a Mr. Tupper. On this farm he lived until his death. After the death of his first wife, Catherine Zirkle, he married Catherine Wolfe on August 13, 1815. We have made several unsuccessful attempts to learn the exact death date of his first wife who was the mother of twelve children. However, it is claimed on good authority while visiting in Virginia at her old home she passed away. Neittier do we know the exact burial place of this noted wife and mother. Her passing away in Virginia some three hundred miles from home we rather surmise she would have been buried in the old Nease-Zirkle 13 graveyard on Holmon's Creek. In this graveyard her father and mother are buried. Also, other members of the Zirkle family. They were the parents of twleve children. Eight sons and four daughters. 1. John Roush (4) b.

The writer has gotten the larger part of this information on the Roush family from the History of The Roush Family in America written by Rev. Lester Lee Roush, A. B. published in 1928. For more detail of this important family I refer you to the Roush Family History in Chapter VIII.

The parents of Lewis Zirkle, Peter Zirkle, George Adam Zirkle and Catherine Zirkle were Lodowick and Maria Eva Zirkle who came from Ger­ many in the early part of the eighteenth century and located in Pennsylvania. Several years after the death of Lodowick Zirkle the widow and seven chil­ dren came to Virginia and finally located at a place called "The Forest" now called Forestville, in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Names and who they married. Lewis; Mar. Mary Magdalene Roush, Peter; mar. Fanny Meyer. George Adam; mar. Elizabeth Ridenour. Catherine; mar. John Branner. The writers grandmother was a Zirkle, Susannah, born May 28, 1818 and died September 14, 1877; married Abraham Harpine born April 16, 1810 and died June 7, 1854. They were married May 27, 1840. They lived about one mile east of Moores Store. They were farmers and members of the Lutheran Church. They are buried in Solomon's Church cemetery. Parents of four sons and two daughters. This short sketch of the above four children and descendants will only state the names and dates downtothe third or fourth generation. It is not the writer's intention or purpose to describe in detail these four families. There are others who are writing a complete history on the Lewis and Mary Magdalene Zirkle family and their descendants. Some time later they will publish in book form a complete account of this noted family. There will be errors found in this short sketch in names and places. There will be ommissions on account of lack of information. To cover a period of time from 1755 to 1855 is a colossal task. Many of the family Bibles have been lost, destroyed or burned. Many of the markers in the cemeteries have been destroyed. Very little can be found in the clerks office concerning these early Zirkies. The early Zirkies were rural people—farmers, millers and tanners. Members of the Lutheran Church. Hard working, honest and reliable. They were deeply religious people and were interested in establishing churches where they lived. I find three strong characteristics of the early Zirkies. Buying farms, raising large families-; and building churches. All of the five Zirkle brothers wrote in German except Peter Zirkle. NOTE: Miss Gertrude Zirkle of New Market gave the author con­ siderable information onthe family of Lewis Zirkle, Jr. and their descen­ dants which was much appreciated. CHAPTER V.

PETER CIRCLE AND HIS DESCENDANTS

Peter Circle (2) son of Lodowick and Maria Eva Zirkle; mar. Fanny Meyer. He was born in Pennsylvania and came with the rest of the Zirkle family to a place called ^'The Forest" in 1755. Likely he was one of the younger children. We do not have his birth date. He died in 1818. Neither do we have birth and death dates of Mrs. Circle. She was living when he passed away. He bought land on Holmon's Creek in 1773. Sold land on Holmon's Creek April 23, 1782 and February 26, 1783. We find he paid taxes in Botetourt County in 1784. We would gather from these land transactions he moved to Botetourt County in 1784. He served in Virginia Militia in Shenandoah County in 1775. He was married several years before moving to Botetourt County. A son, Emauel Circle, was bron in 1782. He was a farmer and according to his last Will and Testament dated July 25, 1818, he was an extensive land owner on the James River about four miles south of Iron Gates, Virginia. His Will was written July 25, 1818 and probated October Court in 1818. His executors were Joseph Kiser and George Armentrout. Below is a rough sketch of his Will and Testament. To the widow, Fanny Circle, all household and kitchen furniture, two horses and harness complete and farming utensils, 3 cows, 5 sheep and ten hogs. To son, Andrew Circle, one half of the plantation he now lives on. To son, Mathias Circle, plantation I now live on. To my three sons, Emanuel Circle, Lewis Circle and John Circle, part of plantation. To my son-in-law, Jacob Nicely, half of the plantation he now lives on. To my son, Peter Circle, the place he now lives on. To my son-in-law, Jacob Nicely, half of the plantation he now lives on.

GEORGE ADAM ZIRKLE AND HIS DESCENDANTS

George Adam Zirkle (2) son of Lodowick and Maria Eva Zirkle; mar. Elizabeth Ridenour. We do not know their birth dates. He died in 18 00, He was born in Pennsylvania. We do not know the date of their marriage. For a num­ ber of years in his life he lived at Forestville and located on Smith Creek near New Market for several years where he was associated with his brother, Lewis, Jr. , in farming. Later on he made a permanent settle­ ment on the North Fork of the Shenandoah River about two miles west of New Market. Here they lived the rest of their lives. They were farmers and members of the Lutheran Church. Buried in the Zirkle graveyard. Information by Philip J. Olinger concerning George Adam Zirkle and others. "George Adam Zirkle emigrated to the Valley in about 1760 or possibly several years earlier. He was the first Zirkle to settle on the west side of the Shenandoah River and there raised his family. Two of his brothers settled on Holmon's Creek near Forestville, another brother settled on the James River in Botetourt County, another brother settled on Smith Creek now near Endless Caverns. George Adam owned 1000 acres of land northward along the river when he died. His home was near the Zirkle cemetery. He gave the first ground for the first grave there. It was for a young man by the name Henkel. The Henkels lived on the same side of the river south. Henry Kipps is buried beside George Adam Zirkle and wife. I know when there were markers at their graves, now stones. Henry and Moses Kipps were brothers and grandsons of George Adam Zirkle. Moses Kipps had expressed a desire that these graves be properly marked. This information from older people. They were Mrs. Sally Moffett and Moses Kipps." _, .„. „ _,. Phillip J. Olinger. P. S. Sally Moffett also a grandchild of George Adam Zirkle. I was told the Henkel's father name was George Henkel, the next neighbor south. Mr. Olinger instructed his executor, Harry Bowman, in his last Will and Testament to erect a suitable monument at the graves of George Adam and Elizabeth Zirkle graves. The monument has been placed at their graves with the following inscription. George Adam and Elizabeth R. Zirkle came to the Shenandoah Valley from Pennsylvania about 1755. The monument is erected from P, J. dinger's estate in 1959. Mr. Zirkle was first affiliated with Pine Church now St. Mary's Church. In 1790 he assisted in the organization of St. Matthew's Church in New Market. ' They were the parents of twelve children, five sons and seven daughters. 138

CHAPTER VIII.

CATHERINE ZIRKLE AND HER DESCENDANTS.

Catherine Zirkle ( 2) daughter of Lodowick and Maria Eva Zirkle; mar. John Branner. We have no way of knowing how Catherine fits into the family as far as birth is concerned. She may have been one of the first in the family of seven children, but I'm rather of the opinion she was one of the youngest of the children. Neither do we know to any certainty whose son John Branner, her husband was, but let - us surmise he was a brother of Casper Branner. Casper Branner was b. 1729; d. 1792. We do know that he had a brother by the name of Peter Branner who served in the French and Indian War. Casper Branner had at least four children Their names. 1. Elizabeth Branner (2) b.

Burial Cemeteries : We name and designate eight burial places where the early Zirkies and many of their descendants are buried. 1. The Zirkle family cemetery on Hoiman's Creek, about one mile northeast of Forestville, was the first burial place of the Zirkle's. At one time many of these graves were marked with stones and marble. Now 1962, the stones have all disappeared and the plot has become a pasture field. In this graveyard, we can be certain, were buried Maria Eva Zirkle, the widow of Lodowick Zirkle,and her son, Michael (2) and his wife, Catherine, and their two children, John and Rachel. Also other Zirkies which we have no record of. We can also surmise that the early Nehs and possibly some other folks, were buried in thiaggraveyard. 2. Rader's Lutheran Church cemetery, about one mile west of Tim­ berville, Virginia, Here we find the graves of Andrew Zirkle (2) and his wife and likely others of his family are buried. For many years before their deaths, they attended services at Rader's Church. We have been unable to find any markers to their last resting places. 3. St. Matthew Lutheran cemetery in New Market, Virginia you find many of the Zirkies buried. One hundred or more by blood and marriage. We are told on good authority that Lewis Zirkle (2) and his wife, Mary Magdalene are buried there. No stones to mark their graves. 4. Locust Grove cemetery located near the James River in Botetourt County about five miles south of Clifton Forge, Virginia. In this well kept cemetery are the graves of Peter Circle (2) and his wife, Fannie, who were the parents of eleven children--six sons and five daughters. Many of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren are buried there. 5. Zirkle cemetery on North River, about two miles southwest of New Market, Virginia you will find the graves of George Adam Zirkle (2) and his wife, Elizabeth Ridenour Zirkle and many of their descendants. At least one hundred and possibly more. The graves of George Adam Zirkle and his wife, Elizabeth are marked by a substantial monument. They were the first or among the first to be buried in this cemetery. Philip Olinger, a very generous and thoughful man, in his last Will and Testament instructed his executor, Harry Bowman, to erect a monument at their graves. Mr. Bowman, his executor, carried Mr. dinger's instructions out and the monument was erected in 1959. 6. St. Mark's cemetery at Forestville you will find about one hundred graves marked Zirkies, Pences, Whitmires, Dingledines, Burketts and Rymans all of them relatives of the Zirkies either by blood or marriage. Many of them are descendants of Michael Zirkle (2) and his wife, Catherine. 7. Solomon's church cemetery about one mile west of Forestville you will find many of the Zirkies buried. Mostly descendants of Michael and Andrew. 146

8. Smith Creek Cemetery about three miles southeast of New Market on the east side of Smith Creek due south of Endless Caverns is a much ne­ glected burial plot.
