: Hi Tammy,
: Johan and Kundigunda seem to be as
: far back as anyone can get. I am
: from this line, which ended up in
: Indiana. George was one of seven
: Herrmann brothers who emigrated to
: the New World in the first quarter
: of the eighteenth century.
: Departing from Wurtemburg late in
: the year 1725, George set sail
: upon the ship
: "Charlotte". The
: Charlotte stopped for supplies on
: the Isle of Man in early January,
: 1726; and arrived In Philadelphia,
: Pennsylvania late in the same
: month. Records show that George
: and several of his brothers paid
: quit rents in Philadelphia Co.
: before 1734. In 1736 George,
: Heinrich Adam, and Valentine
: Herrmann moved to Strausburg Va.,
: and settled on the New River. The
: Herrmanns were among the first
: settlers west of the Allegheny
: Mountains. The Herrmanns were
: Moravian Christians, and the first
: Moravian Missionary Church
: services in Virginia were held in
: Heinrich Herrmann's house.
: 1755 heralded the outbreak of the
: French and Indian War,Heinrich's
: home allegedly being the first to
: be raided by Indians. According
: to Capt. Preston's reports,
: Valentine was killed by Indians in
: March 1756 (some family records
: place the date as late as 1757).
: George, Heinrich, and their
: families moved to Rowan Co. (now
: Randolf Co.) North Carolina,
: settling on Abbott's Creek.
: George had several children. His son
: Cutliff moved from Randolf County
: into the valley of Cove Creek,
: (Watauga Co.) North Carolina in
: 1791. There he purchased 522
: acres of land on August 6, from
: James Gwyn. Cutliff and Susan had
: 10 children.
: I have more on this, which I'll try
: to post soon. I just found this
: site!
: Best regards,
: Andrew

: I am searching for more information
: on
