: 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,
:

: on
: Johan Michael Harmon (B-1670 in

: to America in January 1726. They
: arrived in Philadelphia on board
: the ship the Charlotte. In 1735,
: one of his sons, George Adam
: Harmon, moved to MD and met and
