Schuhlmeister at Oberfischbach, Nassau-Siegen, before emigrating to Virginia where he arrived with his family in April 1714. He was naturalized by Lieutenant-Governor Alexander Spotswood at Williamsburg, July 11, 1722, which was recorded at the Spotsylvania Court House, October 5, 1725. He was the schoolmaster and church reader at Germantown in present-day Fauquier County, where he died testate with a will dated January 15, 1759, which was proved February 29, 1760. He possessed lot 14 of the original Germantown survey, as well as the Germantown Glebe, which was lot 15, and later purchased the upper and lower portions of lot 16. The original church and cemetery of the community was located on the glebe land in his possession.
Husband of (1) Anna Margreth, daughter of Hermannus Otterbach (d. 1724-29), and (2) Catharine (d. by 1757).
Please do not ask me to add February 29th as the date of his death. That is the date his will was proved before the Prince William County Court, and his death may have occurred days, weeks, or even months before that date. Also, his second wife Catharine was not a Löbernicht. Some researchers are confusing his sister-in-law with his second wife.
