Descendants of Peter Thomas (Sr.) Hohl

Generation No. 2

2. JOHANNES² HOHL (PETER THOMAS (SR.)¹) was born Abt. 1685, and died Abt. 1746. He married ANNA CHRISTINE // Abt. 1714.

Notes for JOHANNES HOHL:
Notes: One researcher (unknown) shows Peter Thomas Hohl b. 1706 was actually the son of Johannes Hohl, the son of Peter Hohl and Anastasia VonEbmark. But they also show the same man as the BROTHER of Johannes Hohl...can't be both. So am leaving Peter Thomas Hohl as son of Peter Hohl and Anatasia until proven otherwise.

Children of JOHANNES HOHL and ANNA // are:

JOHANN TOBIAS³ HOHL, b. Abt. 1715.

ii.

PETER THOMAS HOHL, b. Abt. 1716, Bab Kreunznach, Hesse-Darmstadt, Pflaz Palatinate, GER; d. February 1776, Crabbottom, Pendleton Co., Virginia; m. UNKNOWN, Germany.

iii.

He married (1) [UNKNOWN] Abt. 1729 in Germany. He married (2) SUSANNAH MARGARETHA DIEFFENBACH¹³ 25 November 1750 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania¹⁴, daughter of JOHANN DIEFENBACH and ANNA SPIESS.

Notes for PETER THOMAS (JR.) HOHL:
From Monte Buzzard's book, "Buzzard and Alt Families" the following notes regarding Peter Thomas Hull (Hohl): Desloch, Germany is near Worms along the Rhine River. Peter left Germany about 1741. He may have gone first to Holland, then came to the New World. He married while in Germany (the name and fate of his wife is unknown, but she apparently died in Germany or Holland. Peter sailed from Rotterdam aboard the ship FRANCE AND ANN, Thomas Coaten, Master, which arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 30 May 1741. He travelled with his two sons, Peter and Frans Phillip. Upon arriving in Philadelphia he became a miller on the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, PA. Records of the Trinity Lutheran Church show that Peter Thomas Hohl married Susanna Margareth Diffenbach on 25 Nov 1750.

Given me by Clarice Jane Snyder:
Taken from a book in Edinburg, VA -- I forgot to record the book title -- page 369, Part XVI - HULL FAMILY
"The Hull Family is of German ancestry. The name is found in records as Hole, Hool, Hohl, Holle, and Hull.
1. Peter Thomas Hull (1), the progenitor of this branch of the Hull Family, born ca. 1706 in the Palatinate; died in 1776 in Augusta County, Virginia; married (1) in Germany, ______; married (2) 25 Nov 1750 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Susannah Margareth Dieffenbach (sometimes spelled as Fieffenbach). Peter Thomas Hull came to Philadelphia from Rotterdam on the Ship Frances and Ann, Thomas Coaten, Master, arriving in Philadelphia on May 30, 1741. (Thirty Thousand Names of German, Swiss, Dutch and French Immigrants, Prof. I. Daniel Rupp, page 145). He located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and the records of Trinity Lutheran Church show that 'Peter Thomas Hohl, a widower and a miler; on the Susquehanna River, and Susannah Margaretha Dieffenbach, a single person, have been published several Sundays, and are joined, in wedlock, 25th of November 1750.' Peter Thomas Hull, his bride and his two sons by his former marriage, Peter and Francis Hull, took the trail towards the Valley of Virginia. They settled on land bought from Christopher Francisco, on Cub's Run, Rockingham County, Virginia on 2 Jul 1752. This land was a part of the Jacob Stover tracts. Jacob Stover was an ancestor of PRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER. In 1765, they acquired land in Crab Apple Bottom, the garden spot of what is now Highland County, Virginia."

"The will of Peter Thomas Hull was recorded 19 Mar 1776 in Will Book 5, page 407, Augusta County, Virginia. It reads as follows:"

"In the name of God Amen:
