Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Johannes ZENTMEYER was born Aug 1763, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania (son of Johann Bernhard ZENTMEYER and Catharina LNU); died 3 Sep 1844, Floyd Co., Virginia; was buried Sep 1844, Zion Lutheran Church Cemetery, Floyd Co., Virginia.

    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."

    Time Line:
    1763 baptized in Lancaster County
    1783 was granted Treasury Land Warrant for 135 acres in Montgomery County near present-day Floyd, on Oldfield Creek near Franklin Pike
    1789 married Barbary Windle in the Shenandoah Valley
    1792 daughter Elizabeth born
    1797 bought 40 acres from Jacob Miller in Montgomery County, Virginia, on Mudlick Creek near the present corner of McVitty Rd. and Old Cave Spring Rd., Cave Spring, Virginia.
    1799 son Daniel born
    1800 moved from Cave Spring to Montgomery County near present-day Floyd
    1801 daughter Catherine born
    1802 son David born
    1805 daughter Rebecca born
    1806 listed a Sponsor for baptism of Jacob Marchel and Sarah Krank
    1808 listed as Sponsor for baptism of Lydia Marchel
    1808 purchased 153 acres on south fork of Little River
    1809 listed as an Officer of Little River Church, predecessor to Zion Lutheran
    1809 unnamed daughter born who succumbed after one year
    1810 US Census in Christiansburg, Montgomery County as John Zentmeyer
    1812 135 acre Land Warrant property surveyed
    1815 purchased 18 acres on Oldfield Creek from David Howell
    1816 listed as Sponsor in baptism of Benjamin Herman
    1817 listed as Sponsor in baptism of John Williams
    1818 Cave Spring land was sold to John Hartman
    1820 US Census in Christiansburg, Montgomery County as John Zentmin
    1830 US Census in (La) Fayette, Montgomery County as John Zentmine
    1840 US Census in Floyd County as John Zeatriger (Floyd County was formed from Montgomery County in 1831)


    It is not clear why Johannes is listed in the 1810 and 1820 Census in Christiansburg, and in the 1830 Census in (La) Fayette. But there can be no doubt as to the identity of these three families, as the number and ages of the wife and children in the Censuses exactly match Johannes' family.

    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]


  2. 13.  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.
