    Generation: 1

    1. 1.  Abraham Wintemute was born in 1793 (son of Benjamin Wintemute and Hannah Smith).

      Notes:

      His date of baptism was April 12, 1793. The baptism was performed by the Rector of St Mark's Niagara-on-the-Lake



      Officially, Abraham died in November of 1812 from an illness contracted while on duty as a gunner in the 2nd Regiment of Provincial Artillery. At that time he was over 21 years of age. He died unmarried.



      Robert Moore (77 Metcalfe Street; St Thomas Ontario N5R 3K6; Tel 519-631-6065; e-mail rmoore@wwdc.com) believes that he did not die, but that his father claimed that he died and applied for land on behalf of his son Abram who was killed in
      the war of 1812. Then Abraham "went west"



      Born c1793 (G/S) transcript, may be incorrect, and reflect the age (97) given in Cemetery transcripts. The Kilmer Book states that he died age 97 thus born in 1793 but the info was taken from the cemetery transcripts as well.

      2. About 1802 Ref 1851 Dereham Township census age 50 born Canada religion Presbyterian

      3. About 1803 Ref 1861 census Dereham Township age 58 born USA

      4. About 1806 Ref 1871 census Malahide Township age 65 Born USA

      5. About 1803 Ref 1881 census Malahide Township age 78 born Ontario religion Presbyterian

      6.The born US is "interesting" in the 1861 and 1871 census tho 1881 gives birth place Ont.



      Married by A. Dobbie J.P. London District Marriage Register page 67.



      Abraham petitioned for land in 1844 and received as a free grant the West ½ of Lot 22 Concession 9 Bayham Township Elgin County He must have sold the land shortly thereafter as he purchased from the Crown the South ½ of Lot 23 Concession 12
      Dereham Township Oxford County in April 1846.



      There is no record in the Elgin County Land registry office of him owning any of lot 22 Concession 9 Bayham The crown patents were issued in 1844 for the North ½ of the lot and in 1849 for the South ½ (many early land transactions were never
      registered and eventually a subsequent owner had to petition the Crown for a patent event tho he might have acquired the property many years previously.)

      Grace Noad advises that Abram was a witness at the marriage of Philip Kilmer (brother to Elizabeth Kilmer Wintermute) to Peter Laur.

      In the 1851 census Abraham age 50 is living in Dereham Township Oxford County, occupation shingle maker with wife Elizabeth and 9 children

      He is shown on the 1857 Oxford County Tremaines map on 50 acres South ½ of South ½ of Lot 23 Concession 12 Dereham. (Second lot west of Brownsville-Corinth Road on the Bayham Dereham Town line).

      At the time of the 1861 census Abram was still in Dereham Township. In the 1861 Agricultural Census of Dereham, Abram is shown on 50 acres of Lot 23 Concession 12 with 25 acres cleared of which 19 acres was in crops and 6 in pasture with value
      of farm at $800.



      A land search of South ½ of Lot 23 Concession 12 Dereham shows that the South ½ was not patented until 15 July 1862 and then by a "Robert Peacock." How much legal interest Abram had in the property is not known. Was he just a squatter or had
      he acquired the land and just not gotten it patented ?? (check Dereham township papers and assessment records if there are any)



      Abram is shown on Malahide Township Concession 8 Lot 34 North ½ of East ½ 50 acres on 1864 Tremaines Map. A Title search does not show him as being an owner so he was likely just a tenant. There is no record in the Elgin County Land registry
      office of him owning any of lot 22 Concession 9 Bayham The crown patents were issued in 1844 for the North ½ of the lot and in 1849 for the South ½ (many early land transactions were never registered and eventually a subsequent owner had to
      petition the Crown for a patent event tho he might have acquired the property many years previously.)

      Christened Sept 1,1707 in Pfungstadt, Starkenburg, Hessen, Germany



      Oklahoma Genealogical Quarterly, V. 14, #1, March 1969 - name was Jury Philip, m. Maria Julianna Houghtaling (Hoogeling, Huber, Hoverin). Philip came to America 11 Aug 1732 from Rotterdam to Phila. on Ship "Samuel." By 1745 he was in Sussex Co.
      NJ. In 1772 he moved with most of his family to Wyoming Valley in Pa. where he build Wintermute Fort. In Jun1 1778, the Fort was burned by the British. Most of the Wintermute family and several other families living in the Fort went to Canada
      with Butler's Army. Philip died in 1779 in Lincoln Co., Ontario, Canada

      "Pa. German Pioneers from 1727-1808" by R. B. Strassburger, Gen. Pub. Co. 1980 - List 19A Ship Samuel, Hugh Percy, from Rotterdam. Qualified Aug. 11, 1732.

      Georg married Maria Juliana Huber. Maria was born in 1715. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


    2. 5.  Maria Juliana Huber was born in 1715.

      Notes:

      I am trying to determine the identity of Maria Julia Huber (Hover, Hoover) wife of George Philip Wintermute.



      A Johannes Hendricus Hover b. 1705 came to Philadelphia n 1735 and settled in Smithfield, PA before 1742. This was on the west side of the Delaware River in present Monroe County, Pennsylvania and only a few miles from the

      Stillwater area. He was admitted a member of the Reformed Dutch Church at Smithfield on 22 June 1745 and on 6 June 1746 Susana Holeyson his wife was admitted, having formerly been a Lutheran.



      Five known children:

      John b. 1738 killed in Indian raid. The raid was perhaps in 1756 when the Indian disturbances along the Delaware became severe.

      Henry b. 4 Apr 1740.

      Susanna bpt 14 Mar 1742 Smithfield.

      Samuel bpt 30 Dec 1744 Smithfield.

      Emanuel bpt 20 Sept 1747 Smithfield taken prisoner in same raid that brother John was killed in. Emanuel later served in American Revolution as a Captain. On 18 Apr 1797 Manuel Hover and Mary his wife of Northampton

      County, Pennsylvania conveyed 150 acres in Walpack to Jonas Smith and wife Mary, excepting one half acre, it being the common burying ground of Walpack.



      It is believed that a Johan Michael Huber who married Elizabeth Mennes, Catharian Huber who married Peter Conterman (Countryman, Gunderman, etc.), and Maria Juliana Huber Wintermute were perhaps siblings to Johan Hendricus (Henry). A Johan
      Michael Huber came on the ship "Snow Catherine" 28 May 1742. In the "Memorials of the Moravian Church" it is related that the brethern (Moravians) kept and preached a school in the upper valley of the Delaware on the Jersey shore in 1746 and
      1747 and were ministered to by a Joseph Shaw who came on the same ship as Johan Michael Huber and were the

      first colonists who arrived at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in June 1742. On page 75 in speaking of Johan Michael Huber it says "lost at sea in a hurricane on the passage to St. Thomas in Oct 1747 along with the missionaries Joseph and Mary Shaw.
      There was another Johan Michael Huber

      who arrived 21 Aug 1750 on the ship "Anderson." He is perhaps the one who married Elizabeth Mennes and had a son Johannes baptised Feb 1753 Walpack sponsored by Peter Counterman and Catharine Huber.



      The Hubers are mentioned in the parish registers of Trippstadt situated at or near Holzwald, six miles south of Kaiserslautern. Several Hubers came to Philadelphia in 1740's and 1750's.
