Notes: Johannes Zentmeyer, grandson of Johann Bernhard Zentmeyer, emigrant ancestor of the Zentmeyers in the US. The surname was also recorded as 'Centmeyer,' 'Sentmeier,' 'C. Meyer,' 'C. Mayer,' 'St. Moyer,' and 'St. Mire.' Johannes married Barbary Windle about 1790. He was an early member of the Little River church, later renamed Zion Lutheran Church, which still stands in Floyd, Virginia. Rev. Robert J. Miller, a circuit preacher, wrote in 1813, "In the evening we went home with Mr. Zentmeyer, who appears to have a sense of divine things, and has a serious and promising family of children." Johannes married Barbary WINDLE Abt 1789, Shenandoah, Virginia. Barbary was born 29 Mar 1771, Dunmore Co., Virginia; died 2 Oct 1839, Floyd Co., Virginia; was buried Oct 1839, Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery, Floyd Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet] |
7. | Barbary WINDLE was born 29 Mar 1771, Dunmore Co., Virginia; died 2 Oct 1839, Floyd Co., Virginia; was buried Oct 1839, Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery, Floyd Co., Virginia. Notes: It was unclear to me as to why Barbary was named in the will of her husband Johannes Zentmeyer who died in 1844, as the date of death on her headstone was 1839, until I checked and found that the will was written in 1838.

12. | Johann Bernhard ZENTMEYER was born 11 Mar 1740, Bischwiller, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France (son of Johann Bernhard ZENTMEYER and Maria Salome ROTH); died Abt 1820, Shenandoah Co., (now Warren Co.) Virginia; was buried Santmyer Cemetery, in an unmarked grave. Notes: There is much additional material about Bernhard on the York Co. page. Johann married Catharina LNU Bef 1760. [Group Sheet] |
13. | Catharina LNU Notes: We do not have a surname for Bernhard's wife. She was identified as 'Catharina' both in the birth record for her son Johannes in 1763, and as a baptismal sponsor with Bernhard for Anna Margaretha Geister on 7 Aug 1760. This dates their wedding to around 1760 when Bernhard would have been twenty years old. Notes: The 1760 marriage date is from a birth record for Anna Margaretha Geister, which lists Bernhardt Zentmoyer and Catharina as sponsors.
