Ancestors of Austin Reed Spainhour

Generation No. 11

       1024. Wernhardt Spainhour, born February 19, 1688 in Muttenz, Switzerland; died March 03, 1737 in Muttenz, Switzerland. He was the son of 2048. Wernhardt Spainhour and 2049. Barbara Seiler. He married 1025. Elsbeth Spittler June 11, 1714 in Pratteln Switzerland.
       1025. Elsbeth Spittler, born January 17, 1692 in Pratteln Switzerland; died in Yorktown, Pennsylvania.

Notes for Elsbeth Spittler:
The following is a quote from
information sent to me by James D Spainhour editor of the Spainhour
Family newsletter.
" Elsbeth (Spittler) Spanhauer, at age 48, left Switzerland for America
on 1740.0505. With her, were her four living children: Heinrich (24),
Werner (21), Anna (20) & Barbara (17). Traveling with them were three
closely related families.

One family was that of her brother-in-law Nicholas or "Claus" Spaenhauer
(50), a painter, and his wife Ursula (Schaub) (53) with their two
children Jacob (17) & Matheus (14) and a servant Verena Tschudi. The
second family was that of Elsbeths sister-in-law, Catherine (Spaenhauer)
Pfau (60) and her husband Hans Jacob Pfau (54), a shoemaker, with two of
their children. The third family was that of Elsbeth's sister-in-law,
Elsbeth (Spaenhauer) Brodtbeck (59) and her husband Heinrich Brodtbeck
(59), with their five children Heinrich (22) Nicklaus (20) Elsbeth (17)
Barbel (14) and Wernhard (10)

This group, and others took boats up the Rhine to Rotterdam in May, 1740
where they boarded the ship "Friendship" commanded by Captain William
Vettery. The passage was rough with a "terrible storm at sea". Nearly
sixty people from the Basel area died on that journey, mostly of hunger,
because they lost their provisions and cooking utensils in the storm.
The ship arrived in Philadelphia in August of 1740. On September 23,
1740 as required by law, the passengers appeared before the Pennsylvania
Court to take the "Oath of Allegiance" to the King of England. The court
recorded Elsbeth's family name as "Spainehower". see "Lists of Swiss
Emigrants in the 18th Century to the American Colonies" compiled by Dr.
Albert Faust & Cains M. Brumbaugh, edited in 1968 by the Genealogical
Publishing Co."

Notes for Garvis Gilbert , Sr:
Garvis Gilbert (sometimes Gervais/Jarvis/Garvies/Garvis) may have been a son of Michael Gilbert and Dorothy Hargrave. If so, he was born 15 Apr 1680 at Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Marcum, The Way it Was with our Ancestors: �While there has been no primary proof that Garvais who came to Maryland was their son, so much circumstantial evidence shows this to be true, that after careful analysis and intensive research by many different parties this is the only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn.�

Henry C Peden Jr (707 Bedford Rd, Bel Air MD 21014), Gilbert Records in Harford County MD, Bel Air Copy Center, Bel Air MD, �1986: The name of Garvis Gilbert (sometimes spelled Jarvis or Gervais) appears first in Baltimore (now Harford) County MD in 1699 in the Middle River Hundred. (From Taxables in Baltimore County, 1699, Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol 8, page 64).

Baltimore County, Maryland Tax Lists (from LDS records) show the following: 1702-Jervis Gilbard, South Gunpowder Hd; 1703-Gervais Gilbert, South Gunpowder Hd; 1704-Jervis Gilbert, North Gunpowder Hd; 1705-Garvies Gilbert, North Gunpowder Hd; 1706-Jarvis Gilbert, North Gunpowder Hundred.

4 Nov 1707 - Marcum citing Baltimore County MD land deed records (Liber HW, No. B, folio 49): Garvis Gilbert purchased a tract of land located on the head of the middle branch of the Bush River in North Gunpowder Hundred, Baltimore County MD from William Lowe and his wife Rebecca. According to Marcum this was the homestead of Garvis throughout his life. According to Davis (Baltimore County Land Records Vol RM:561-562), Garvis Gilbert paid 5000 pounds of tobacco to William Lough (Lowe) for the property and it was laid out as 100 acres, more or less, and contained plantation houses, edifices, buildings, fences, orchards, gardens, pastures and woods, became known as Lowe�s Lot and lay near the line of the land called The Agreement.

22 Jan 1722 until 11 Apr 1726, Vestry records of Spesutia Church, St George�s Parish show that Garvis Gilbert was a Vestryman at the Spesutia Church.

1727 - Wilbur E Davis, The Gilbert Family: �In 1727 he (Garvis Gilbert) bought Hall�s Pipe, 145 acres on Swan Creek for 50 pounds Sterling. He also bought Clark�s Tobacco, 71 acres on Swan Creek.

1735 - Marcum citing Baltimore County MD land deed records (Lib. HWS, No. M, folio 302): Garvis Gilbert, �for the natural love and affection which I have and do bear unto my son Michael Gilbert,� gave Michael land to be released to his brothers at the time of his (Garvis�) death: Clark�s Tobacco, 60 acres; Hall�s Pipe, 145 acres; Gilbert�s Chance, 40 acres.

2 Jun 1739/17 Jun 1739 - Marcum citing Baltimore County MD Prerogative Court Wills 22, page 79: The will of Gravis Gilbert of Baltimore County, planter, was dated June 2, 1739 and proved June 17, 1739. To his son Samuel he gave a tract called Gilbert�s Addition and part of Gilbert�s Outlet, joining to Edward Hall�s Road; To his son Garvis he gave Bow�s (Lowe�s) Lot and remainder of Outlet, joining; To his son Charles he gave dwelling plantation Clark�s Tobacco, Gilbert�s Chance, and Negro Man, Oliver, after demise of wife; To his son Aquila he gave The Agreement and Negro woman, Charity, after demise of wife; To his son Benjamin he gave ten pounds of money when he became of age; to his son Daniel he gave ten pounds of money when he became of age; To his daughter Hannah he gave a cow, one feather bed and furniture, and Negro child, Oliver, after demise of wife; To his daughters, Mary and Martha, he gave each ten pounds of money when they became age 16 or at their marriage. The executors of this will were his wife Mary and Michael Gilbert. Wit: Obd Pritchard, James Pritchard, and James Canell. (Will dated 2 Jun 1739 and filed 10 Jun 1739 by Obadiah Pritchard and James Pritchard. Administration bond posted 7 Nov 1739 by the executors with John Durbin and Samuel Pritchard securities; estate administered 12 Aug 1740 by execs).
