• 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] Sources Spiggle Chapter, Daniel W.
