German Settlements and Immigrants in Virginia: a Bibliography GERMAN SETTLEMENTS AND IMMIGRANTS IN VIRGINIA: A BIBLIOGRAPHY Compiled By KLAUS WUST This bibliography of books, pamphlets and articles is a by-product of almost twenty years of research into the history and the acculturation process of the German element in Virginia and neighboring states to the west and south. An attempt has been made to include not only material specifically dealing with the Germans and German-Swiss but also writings of local and church historians containing a good deal of information on the German segment of the population. The 328 entries have been arranged according to subjects and periods in order to increase the usefulness of this compilation for students of particular topics. A selective process was necessitated both by reasons of space and by the decision to concentrate on such printed sources as are accessible either in the larger libraries of Virginia or in the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library. Items of the following types were generally omitted: 1. Virginia German imprints not containing historical or related information; 2. Family histories and genealogical material; 3. Local historical material of secondary interest to students of German immigration. (This applies particularly to the Shenan- doah Valley for which a general bibliography is being prepared by the Shenandoah Valley Folklore Society in Harrisionburg.) 4. Synodical and conference minutes of the Lutheran and Reformed churches. 5. Constitutions and by-laws of German fraternal societies. 6. Newspaper articles containing information available in other pub- lished items. For printed sources on the general background of German immigration and settlement in the United States, the user of this list is referred to the following major bibliographical compilations: Emil Meynen, Bibliography on German Settlements in Colonial North America (Leipzig, 1937). Henry A. Pochmann and Arthur R. Schultz, Bibliography of German Culture in America to 1940 (Madison, Wis., 1953).

  • Migration Patterns, Old German Baptist Brethren
    November 10, 1988 Coordinated and Compiled by - Gerald C. Wagoner, Sr. 5110 N. Croft Mill Rd. Bradford, OH 45308 With Assistance From - Gladys (Cool) Royer 25457 C. R. 43 Goshen, IN 46526 & Lowell H. Beachier 1612 W. Grayson Rd. Modesto, CA 9'5359 qs3;i information Pertaining to Old Order River Brethren by - Stephen Scott R#1 - Box 362 Columbia, PA 17512 OLD GERMAN BAPTIST BRTHR: MIGRATION PATTERNS October 17, 1988 In the early years, settlement of the Brethren in the eastern portions of the United States, is very ably told by the various Brethren historians. Included in this sto are ancestors of the Old German Baptist Brethren along with family progenitors of all Brethren groups. While this portion of writing deals directly with genealogical interests and pursuits of Old Order families - we will begin by offering a bit of general information. As Brethren began coming to Germantown, Pennsylvania in 1719 & 179, ever pushing westward to new frontiers, the migration never really stopped until they reached the west coast many decades later. Maryland & Virginia began to be settled before the Revolution and just prior to 1800, members were found as far west as Kentucky, Ohio and even Missouri. Through the Pittsburgh and Ohio River gateways, most of the remaining states were settled. Railroads also played a significant role in colonizing the western states. Our attention will now center around migration patterns and family names of brethren in the Old German Baptist Brotherhood. After Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska were settled, cheap land and new frontiers continued to lure the Lrethren westward as the twentieth century approached.

    A Genealogy and History Journal of the Germanna Research Group October, 2012 Vol. 2, No. 3 GRG Myths, Evidence and Logic The True Story of Fort Germanna, New German Town and Spotswood’s Second Colony Settlers By Michael L. Oddenino Owing to thin historical research on Germanna, myths arise to fill the gaps much as weeds fill an unattended garden. Weeds of historical inaccuracy abound in the garden of Germanna his- tory. A thick patch of weeds is found in the myths of the Germanna settlers known as the Second Colony and where they first lived after arriving in Virginia as indentured servants working for Lt. Governor Alexander Spotswood. An oft repeated myth is that the Second Colony settlers lived in- side Fort Germanna with the already present First Colony settlers. Weeds, so many weeds. This piece will clear the garden of those weeds and establish that the Second Colony settlers set up shop in New German Town in what is now Culpeper County, never having lived at Fort Germanna. My experience as a lawyer teaches me that evidence is critical in accurately determining what happened in the past. Every court case is an exercise in teaching a judge or jury the history of the case. The stronger the evidence presented, the greater likelihood of a favorable outcome for the party able to marshal the most convincing evidence. This article examines the evidence which tells the story of where a certain group of German immigrants lived in colonial Virginia in the early 1700s. History often gets shrouded in myth with myth taking on the characteristics of how we, to- day, wish the events of the past might have happened.

Salmon, for the months of dedicated research, mapping, and analysis that led to the production of this important study. In all, more than 35 pro- fessionals, including professors and students representing six universities, American Indian representatives, consultants, public agency representatives, and community leaders contributed to this report. Each person brought an extraordinary depth of knowledge, keen insight and a personal devotion to the project. We are especially grateful for the generous financial support that we received from the following private foundations, organizations and corporate partners: The Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, The Clay- ton Fund, Inc., Colcom Foundation, The Conservation Fund, Lockheed Martin, the Richard King Mellon Foundation, The Merrill Foundation, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the Rauch Foundation, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, Verizon, Virginia Environmental Endowment and the Wallace Genetic Foundation. Without their support this project would simply not have been possible. Finally, we would like to extend a special thank you to the board of directors of the Chesapeake Conser- vancy, and to John Maounis, Superintendent of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, for their leadership and unwavering commitment to the Captain John Smith Chesapeake Trail.
