I'm not sure Lawrence Pope is a Germanna descendant, but he left "Culpeper
Court House" for Boone County, KY in 1832. This is a pattern very similar
to many other Germanna families, so I thought I'd check to see if anyone
here had anything on them. If so, please let me know. His family married
into my Aylors.
Thanks,

Volume two of the Hebron Register includes lists of communicants,
confirmations, minutes of meetings and some financial records. Confirmation
was the process whereby young persons who had been baptized as infants were
educated and trained in the meaning of the church and in their duties. The
culmination of this process was the confirmation ceremony at church. The
names of the individuals, and sometimes their age, were recorded at th

This note focuses on another Michael Carpenter, one who is said to have
married Rebecca Delph. As we will see, the baptisms at the Hebron church
clearly show the family. Sponsors for the children of Michael and Rebecca
include Samuel Carpenter, his brother, on six occasions. On five occasions,
Samuel's wife, Margaret, (nee Blankenbaker) was a sponsor also. Once,
Susanna Carpenter was a sponsor, a very good choice as she was the sister of
Rebecca and the sil of Michael. Matthew and Henry Delph, her broth

Jeff Aylor has asked a question about Michael Carpenters in the Germanna
community in Culpeper Co., VA at about the time of the Revolution. There
is a problem which this present note attempts to outline.
According to B.C. Holtzclaw in Germanna Record Eleven there were two Michael
Carpenters in the first three generations, one in the second and one in the
third. This counts the early immigrant, John Carpenter, as the first
generation. According to Holtzclaw, the second generation Michael married

Peter Pinnegar purchased 275 acres from John Deer and his wife Catherine in
1778. The land was located in the Goard Vine Fork of the Rappahannock River
(in the area now Rappahannock Co.). Peter moved to NC before 1793 in company
with the Flinchums, Zimmermans and Ziglars where they lived together and
intermarried. The German origins of Peter Benninger of Epfenbach (Kreis
Sinsheim) are given in Don Yoder's book, "Rhineland Emigrants."
The one hundred and twenty-second note in a series on the Germanna Colonies
To review the past notes briefly, in 1775 the officers of the German
Evangelical Lutheran Church (Hebron) decided to take the existing notes on
baptisms and reorganize them into families. Thus the new pastor, Rev.
Franck, could see the church community at a glance. Apparently they bought
a new book for the purpose. In describing the families, the emphasis was on
the community in 1775. They even described people at an earlier da

The following observations pertain to the Register of Baptisms at the Hebron
Lutheran Church and may not apply in other churches. The "rules" which I am
going to describe are not written down anywhere. Instead, I took known
families and studied the relationship between the sponsors and the parents.
That there were some relationships seems obvious from the duplication of the
surname of the father and the sponsors.

The one hundred and twenty-third note in a series on the Germanna Colonies
In 1787, after about nine years without a regular pastor, William Carpenter,
Jr. assumed the duties of the pastor. At first, he was restricted to
administering baptism and to preaching. He could not serve communion;
outside people had to be called in for this. In time, this restriction was
lifted and he went on to serve the most years of any pastor at Hebron
Church. In 1813 or 1814 he moved to Boone Co., Kentucky where he served
A Michael Carpenter married Mary Crisler. This can be confirmed by the
sponsorship pattern in the baptisms at the Hebron Church. Sponsors for the
children of Michael and Mary include John Garr, Henry Christler, Mary
Carpenter, Elizabeth Fisher, William Carpenter, Margaret Garr and Elizabeth
Crisler and perhaps others.
Sponsors were nearly always chosen from the same generation as the parents
and were usually siblings or first cousins or the spouses of the first two
categories. That Mary, the wife of Mich
