Notes:

"Johann Michael Spiegel" was baptized at the Lutheran Church in Brickersville, Pennsylvania, in 1741. [1] He moved to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia by 1765 and is referred to in most Virginia records as "Michael Spiggle." The first record of him in Virginia is his purchase of a lot in the town of Stephensburg (now Stephens City), in Frederick County, May 6, 1765. [2] Michael married Christina Snapp, daughter of Lawrence Snapp and Margaret Stephens, who lived at Stephens City soon after. He and Christina sold the Stephens City lot in May 1768 and at the same time purchased an 80 acre tract in one of the "Seven Bends" of the North Fork of the Shenandoah near Woodstock, Virginia.[3] This the same time that Christina's father, Lawrence Snapp and his family also moved from Stephens City to what is now Shenandoah County. This area became what is Shenandoah County in 1772 and in a 1783 census of Shenandoah County, Michael Speagle is listed as head of a family of five and in another census in 1785, for which he was the census taker, he is listed as head of a family of six. [4] A survey of Shenandoah County farms made in 1786 lists Michael Speagle on the North Fork with 25 acres of cleared and cultivated bottom land, 15 acres of meadow land, an orchard of 60 small apple trees and a house 18 feet by 24 feet with a stone chimney. [5]Michael Spiegel purchased a 132 acre tract adjoining his previous purchase on the river from the heirs of Hildebrand Inabnet in 1789, giving him a total of 212 acres. [6]

During the Revolutionary War Michael Spiggle was listed as a sergeant in the county militia in 1782 and in September 1784, a year after the war ended he was promoted to captain of his county militia unit. He was appointed Sheriff of Shenandoah County in 1801. [7] Christina was mother of four children and after her death Michael married Barbara Hamman and had seven more children. Michael is last listed in personal property tax records in 1815. His will was probated in Shenandoah County, 11 March, 1816.[8] Because a number of his children by Barbara were minors his estate was not finally settled until 1825.[9]

Notes:

They had two children baptized at Spoeck and asked permission to leave in 1736. They had a third child in February 1737 and must have left soon after because they arrived in Philadelphia on board the ship “William” 31 October, 1737. They settled in Lancaster County, PA, and had seven more children.

A son, Johann Michael, b. 1741, eventually moved to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and by then he was simply Michael Spiggle. He settled on a farm on the North Fork of the Shenandoah and was at one time Sheriff of the county and served in the county militia during the Revolution, rising to the rank of captain. He died in Shenandoah County, VA, in 1816. He was married twice and had eleven children.


Johann Michael Spiegel took up the trade of tailor as a young single man and moved from Haiterbach in the Duchy of Württemberg to Spoeck in the Duchy of Baden-Durlach. He married there and had several children, but in 1736 requested permission to leave for the "New World" with his wife and children. He paid fees and taxes and was allowed to leave in the spring of 1737. They arrived in Philadelphia, 31 October 1737, and soon settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they had five children baptized at the Brickerville Lutheran Church between 1739 and 1747.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: Hans Albrecht Johannes Albrecht Spiegel

Notes:

Johann Albrecht was born at Wildbad, Duchy of Württemberg and was only four years old when his father died. His step-father, Johannes Höltzlin, was also a barber-surgeon as were several of his uncles and so it was only natural that he would follow in their footsteps. After his marriage to the daughter of the Lutheran pastor at Sulz am Eck, he and Maria Barbara lived at Neubeulach, a town a few miles west of Sulz but by 1703 had settled at Haiterbach, a few miles from Nagold, his father's birth place.
