Notes:

On May 11, 1711, Johann George Windemuth was born in the southwest region of the Rhineland-Palatinate just east of the Rhine River in Pfungstadt, Germany. Johann was the youngest son of Johann Christoph Windemuth, a wainwright, and Mary Marguerite Kleppinger, a tailor. It was a challenging time to grow up in the Palatinate region of Germany in those years. The many years of war with their French neighbors really took its toll. Other factors like severe winters crippled the local economy. The economy was directly affected by the weather dependent agricultural industry. It is no wonder why so many ?poor Palatines?, like Johann George Windemuth, decided to leave everything behind to take the treacherous journey to North America.

Johann?s journey to North America started in May of 1736. He took a small crowded scow up the Rhine River to the port city of Rotterdam, Holland. Confronted with an endless barrage of tolls, depleting all or most of your resources was inevitable. The feverish demand to get to North America fed the economic growth of the bustling Colonial City of Philadelphia. As the existing pool of laborers and craftsmen were running low, the influx of these Palatine Germans really filled that void. This new bond between Palatines and the growth of Philadelphia created a new trade that was no different than indentured servitude. The Palatines were the unintended architects of this new trade, where their debt was sold to the highest bidder. They were mandated to work off their debt, which in many cases lasted 3 or more years. It is debatable who ended up with the better part of this arrangement. Cheap labor or temporarily relinquishing your freedom to live free in a new fertile land. It was only around 30 years later that the bargain was tested as the Colonists were preparing to declare their independence from Great Britain.

The path to freedom starts in Rotterdam. It is there that brokers traded the freedom of these Germans in exchange for passage to Colonial North America . Fueled by the promise of a fresh start, Johann and thousands of others ended up trading their freedom in exchange for the cost of the trip. He quickly made arrangements with Captain Robert Harle whose ship was named ?Harle?. Harle had a decent reputation, but he, too, could not escape the pressure to maximize profit at the expense of the desperate Palatines. Once all this business was sorted out, it was off to London. While in London, the passengers were immedietaly expected to pledge their allegiance to the King of England in exchange for the right of way to the Colonies. The Crown was desperately hoping to flood the Colonies with presumed loyalists.

During the summer of 1736, Johann and others flirted with death across the Altantic on the ship Harle. Overcrowding, rancid provisions and sea sickness were only some of the dangers. This was certainly not a deterrent to Johann. After four harrowing months, Johann finally arrived in Philadelphia. Despite coming from a rural community, life in the city of Philadelphia was likely more comfortable and familiar than expected. By 1736, there were thousands of German speaking people residing in Philadelphia. Johann and his family became acquainted with Johan Peter Bernhardt and his family. Most likely Johann George?s father struck up a friendship with Johan Peter Berhardt. There is the possibility they were acquainted back in Germany. This relationship eventually led to Johann George marrying the daughter of Johan Peter Bernhardt, Margaret Elizabeth Bernhardten in 1739. Johann George was 25 and Margaret Elizabeth 18 at the time of their marriage. A few years later in 1741, Johan?s youngest daughter, Maria Catharine, ended up marrying a young Palatine man named Caspar Shaver (later to be known as Caspar Shafer).

This new alliance, the Wintermute-Shafer family, was now ready to build a new future together. They unleashed themselves from the shackles of debt and raised enough money to lease some land. While many German immigrants looked to settle in Pennsylvania. They decided to settle in the ?wilderness? of New Jersey. They made a deal with the London Company who were trading properties that were part of the William Penn tract. One of the members of the London Company was Dr. John Fothergill, a very close friend of Benjamin Franklin. Some of that unsold land ended up in Western New Jersey, in what is now called Sussex County. They chose to settle in a small village called Stillwater that was part of the town of Hardwick, New Jersey. The alluvial and limestone rich land they chose was along the Paulinskill River and across from a powerful spring called The Big Spring. Their risk was certainly paying off, but all they had to do was get there.

The not so easy path to Stillwater was following a trail north east along the ?Blue Mountain? ridge (now known as Kitattinny). This was a risky journey that required tenacity and the basic knowledge of survival. They would have had to negotiate with rough terrain and their new cohabitants, the Lenape Indians. They ended up in Stillwater sometime in 1742. They did not waste any time settling in. They quickly built a rudimentary log cabin and began clear cutting fields for farming. The Shafers and the Wintermutes evolved into a productive and successful family business enterprise. By 1755, Johann had four children - his oldest was Elizabeth Snook, the 2nd child was Margaret Kreter, his first son was George and the youngest was Peter. It was at that time he decided to build a stone house along the Paulinskill river. A few years later he built a fulling mill along the river, which is said to be the first or one of the first in Sussex county. Eventually, his son Peter operated the mill and was able to build his own stone house (now known as Bonnie Brook Farm) on the road with an eye shot of his father?s house. While history paints a picture that Johann was in his brother-in-law?s (Caspar Shafer?s) shadow, there is an untold story about how great this man really was. A man whose dreams came true and died free in a country that was built on courage, hope and the promise of prosperity. He remained in Stillwater the rest of his life and was buried in the Stillwater Cemetery on December 19, 1782. He was survived by his wife, 5 children and 15 grandchildren. Three of his grandchildren were born within just a few months prior to his passing. The Windemuth aka Wintermute family is alive and well today. They are very proud of their heritage and the Windemuth family organization has come to visit the home many times over the years. Stillwater would not be the community it is today without Johann George Wintermute.

From The Wintermute Family History:

Frederick was listed January, 1783, as being a member of the Reformed Association od Hardwick. He served as constable for Hardwick Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, in 1776. He is on record for supplying services and supplies during the
American Revolution in 1780 and 1781. George Windemuth named Frederick Snover as one of "my trusty friends".



From "The Snover Family" compiled by Edward P. Stone Sr., Amundsen Pub.Co., 1976, and in the NSDAR Library (information copied and sent to me by James Kerr) - "Frederick Snover was born in America.... The place of his birth, as well as where he
received his education, has not yet been determined." "..was a member of the Reformed Association of Hardwick." "Mister Snover was a zealous patriot, and supplied services and supplies during the revolution." Birth and death dates from this
book. His 3rd m.was performed by Joshua Swayze, J. P.

Information from Robert Moore, Canada : place of birth - "likely Trappe, PA"

In the History of Sussex and Warren Counties by James P. Snell (pub 1881) Frederick and Jacob settled in Hardwick Township (Now Warren County ) as early as 1735 or 1740. This notation seems to be in error as Frederick was born in Penn in 1743
however the family may have been there as early as 1750 and most certainly by 1763 when Frederick was married. Just who Jacob was is unclear at this time but he was likely Frederick's first cousin, a son of John Heinich Snover The name
Schnauber was Anglicized to Snover in 1764. Frederick served in the Continental Army during the Revolution,receiving pay during portions of the period from August 1779 to 1787 (He has been recognized by the DAR) His uncle Georg Philip
Wintermute was a Loyalist and his first cousins Philip, John, Peter, Benjamin and Abraham Wintermutes were members of Loyalist regiment "The Butlers Rangers" and were regarded as heroes in the Niagara area of Ontario where they settled after
the Revolution. ***Frederick was a constable for Hardwick Township in 1776. Frederick was a member of Hardwick Lutheran Church at Stillwater.

Frederick's will was dated 23 June 1828 and is contained in Warren County Probate Records (G.S. #566,393 No. 1920)

Notes:

He served in Butler's Rangers throughout the Revolution and subsequently settled in Bertie Township. He was listed in a return of the Loyalists in Captain George Dame's Company at Niagara on 30 November 1783, his age being given as 41.
[Haldimand Papers, B105-A:385] His land petition [W2:97] dated at Niagara 26 January 1797 only states that he served six years in Butler's Rangers and that at the reduction of the Corps he settled near Ft Erie.



He married Mrs Edia Allen, widow of John Allen. Her petition [W2:64] is not dated but was received 27 January 1797. She was named in it as Edia Wintermute, wife of Philip Wintermute but late widow of John Allen. She and her late husband came
into the Province in 1785 with two children. In a subsequent petition [W4:58] dated at Niagara 7 February 1797 she stated that she and her late husband John Allen came into the Province "about nine years ago" and settled on a lot of land at
the head of the Chippawa, but that her husband "soon after dying" left her with a "large" family of children.



It is apparent from Philip's will that he did not have any children or, at least, none who survived him. He did not mention his wife in his will so it would appear that she pre-deceased him. His will, on file at St Catherines, is dated 17
June 1809 and describes him as being of Bertie. He named: "my nephew Phillip Wintermute the eldest son of my brother Leonard Wintermute; my brother Abraham Wintermute; my nephew Abraham and niece Anna; son and daughter of my brother Abraham,
to have Lot 9 in the Front Concession off Bertie, 60 acres, when the become of age; my nephew Phillip Wintermute son of my brother Peter Wintermute 260 acres, being Lot 12 Concession 1 of Dorchester; my nephew Phillip Wintermute son of my
brother Benjamin Wintermute all my claim of interest to a certain tract lying near the Grand River and on the Indian lands which I purchased from the late Captain Joseph Brant; and my niece Polly Wintermute, daughter of my brother Benjamin
Wintermute". He named as executors Christian Ryslay and John Warren Jr, both of Bertie. Witnesses were Benjamin Wintermute, William Powell and John Putman. The will was proved 10 October 1809 on the oath of John Putman of Bertie, gentleman.

Family/Spouse: Edia Allen. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He resided in Sussex County, New Jersey until 1788 when he moved to Canada. His land petition [W3:25] dated 4 January 1797 stated the he had six brothers who served in Butler's Rangers and that he came into the Province with a wife and four
children. Attached to his land petition is a certificate of John Warren dated 1 May 1797: "I hereby certify that George Wintermute came into this Province in the year 1788. His family then consisted of the following persons, viz: George
Wintermute, his wife Catherine and children Elizabeth, Mary, Liddia and Margaret". He was recommended for 200 acres for himself and 250 acres family lands.Part of his land, 154 acres, consisted of Lots 15 in the 5th and 6th Concessions of
Bertie which he sold 10 March 1809. His wife was Catherine Cortright (Cortregt, Kortrtecht, etc) and her name appears in the baptismal records of their four daughters in the register of the Deerpark, New York, Dutch Reformed Church [NYGBS

Baptized 27 April 1746 as Johan Christoffel. On 16 December 1764 as "Stoffel Wintermout" he witnessed the baptism of Elizabeth, daughter of his brother George. He settled in the Wyoming Valley, and his name appears on the tax list for the
Exeter District in August 1777. The only record so far discovered concerning him in Canada is a return for his household in 1781 which at the time consisted of one woman and a male child under six years of age. (?) A son under six years of
age in 1781.



Christopher died in the Revolutiuonary War while serving with Butler's Rangers.

He was baptized 25 October 1747. It is stated in "The Wintermute Family History" that John married in New Jersey a Miss Decker or Windecker and that she died there. Both names were common in the northern part of Sussex County. It should be
noted, however, that a family of Windecker's, also tory, lived in the Wyoming Valley before the Revolution not far from where the Wintermute's lived. John's name appears on the tax lists for the Exeter District of that Valley for 1776 and
1777. He served in Butler's Rangers, and at the reduction of that Corps he settled in Bertie. His household is listed in a return of the Loyalists in Captain Bernard Frey's Company of the Rangers at Niagara 30 November 1783. [Haldimand
Papers B105-A:381] The list names Corporal John Wintmot aged 27 and Mary Wintmot 24 followed by three entries with the name Wintmot written, but for which no first names or ages are given. If the age given for John was 37, it would be more in
accordance with his baptismal record.



A land petition from him dated 9 July 1795 [W3:137] states that he served in Butler's Rangers as a corporal and that he has a family consisting of five children. No mention was made of a wife. The following certificate of J. Ball, J.P., on
file with the petition, indicates a second marriage for John. "Newark, 20 March 1797. I do hereby certify that corporal John Wintermute served in Butler's Rangers during the was; that he had a family before the year 1789 consisting of a wife
and eight children; that his wife is the daughter of a Loyalist Hannah Lybs who came in the year 1778".



The "Loyalist Hannah Lybs" can only mean Hannah Sypes, or Sipes, who did enter Niagara in 1778. This would mean that John had married a sister of the wife of his brother Peter, but additional evidence should be found to corroborate such a
marriage. It is noted, however, that two of John's daughters were Hannah and Eve, names which were used in the Sipes family.



John subsequently married Nancy Leopard (leppard, etc) but whether this was before or after he moved to Humberstone is not known. Documents on file with Nancy's land petition [L:3:35] indicate that she was married to John after 9 May 1797 and
more likely after 1800. A power of attorney dated at Humberstone, 22 October 1832 states that "I, Nancy Wintemute of Humberstone, widow of John Wintemute late of same place, yeoman, deceased, and daughter of William Leopard, at his birth of
Bucks County in the State of Pennsylvania, known before marriage as Nancy Leopard, do appoint Andrew Mercer of the town of York as my attorney to receive for me title to the south part of Lot 23 Concession 4 of Scarboro' containing 100 acres".
Witnesses were John Wintemute (Jr) and Aaron Doan.

There may be a mistake in the will because the Anthony land was located in the Lot number nine of the third concession. Although this may have been another parcel.

I think brother peter or Philip may have left lot 9 of 3rd conns to her (Sarah Anthony) later.

Notes:

Order in Council 16 April 1811 names her as "Elizabeth Petrie, wife of Joseph Petrie and daughter of Philip Wintermute, U.E." The order was based on her land petition of 31 January 1811 [P10:10] in which she was described as wife of Joseph
Petree of "Haldimand County, Niagara District, U.E." She took the required oathes before Benajah Mallory, J.P., of the London District and requested that he be permitted to act as her agent to locate her land. A will for an older Joseph Petrey
is on file at St Catherines. The will, dated 29 May 1804, describes the testator as "Joseph Petrey of Clinton, County of Lincoln". It mentions only "my son Joseph Pettrey" and "my grandson Joseph Hilts". The grandson was left the bulk of the
estate which included Lots 9 & 10 Con 7 of Clinton. The executors were the grandson and "friend" Adam Miller. There are no papers on file which indicate the date of probate.

Will of Elizabeth Snook dated 4 Mar 1800 Frankford township, Sussex County, New Jersey. Grandson, Tobias Hanes (Haynes/Haines) and granddaughter, Elizabeth Westbrook, each £100 to be paid by daughter, Anney Charity Phillips. Grandsons,
Henry and John Decker each £25 to be paid by daughter, Margaret Decker. Estate divided between

daughters, Anney Charity Phillips and Margaret Decker. Executors, brother, John Wintermute and son-in-law, Simon Decker.

Witnessed by Abraham Shaver, Catharina Juliana Miller, and Catherine Wintermute. Proved 24 Jan 1801.

Henry Snook is said to have d. in 1820, but this may not be correct since Elizabeth had a Will dated in 1800 and an estate devised to their two daughters.

Family/Spouse: Henry Snook. Henry was born in 1738 in Germany; died in 1820. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

T. Michael Louden has written:

"I have found the grave of George Wintermute and check the tombstone against the book. George is buried between the graves of Mary Wintermute and Ashfordby Wintermute (his son). Who is Mary Wintermute? The stone is very faded marble but
looks like it says:

"Mary

wife of

?A? Wintermute

died

?1? Jan 181?4?

Aged 5????..."

rest is unreadable but is shaped like the rest of age and a quote of some sort in smaller print as was the style at the time. The are no grave markers either side of these three or in front or behind. I assume these are filled graves but
without current markers. If I assume that Mary is a previously undocumented wife of Ashfordby it raises the question of why they were not buried adjacent to one another instead of with a space between them where George is buried 10 years
later.



Any ideas on who Mary "wife of Wintermute" is?
