| Note | Research attempted: Aler's history of Martinsburg and Berkeley County, West Virginia by F. Vernon Aler (SLC 908757) | |
| Name Variation | Georg Ludwig Kaffenberger1 | |
| Birth | 1728 | Stutgart, Wurtemburg, Germany, CAUTION - Scott book says Stutgart and early in the 18th century with no source for the information. In entry for grandson Andrew, it also says from Strasburg. If this is the same Georg mentioned by Rich Kaffenberger, then he was born 1728 in Lichtenberg2,1 |
| Immigration | 14 September 1751 | Maria Veronica Kimmel; http://bassett.net/genealogy/Coffinberry/CoffinberryImmigration.shtml |
| Marriage | circa 1752 | Maria Veronica Kimmel; since she came with her family, the implication is that they met on the ship and married after arrival. |
| Residence | 1752 | Martinsburg, Berkeley Co., West Virginia, per book, settled in Martinsburg in 1750. However, that is an error as they didn't immigrate until 1751, and Martinsburg wasn't established until October 1778. The author probably meant where Martinsburg is now located. According to the book, this is where all children born & marr. He changed name by VA Legislature about 1790 (haven't found Legislative proof). Book also says age 108 at death but that makes them too old for logical childbearing in 1750's & 1760's3 |
| Occupation | Baptist Clergy & sickle maker3 | |

The amount was distributed among Valentine's six children (named, with spouses). The inventory is in Lancaster County Historical Society Archves, inventory file, original document.4 |

| To-Do | List of stuff done on search to find the father of Johan Georg Reinhardt. Have thrown out orig letters since I've put the transcripts here. Basics: Immigrated 3 Nov 1752 on Queen of Denmark from Hamburg last from Cowes. Have copy of his signature. The Minister on the ship was Hinrich Burchard Gabriel Wortmann - find where he came from as maybe they all came together? Important surnames on same ship: Bauer, Ultsch, Voght, Wiese, Fischer, Henig, Jahn/Hahn, Moyer. 30 Sep 1995 - Hank Jones at Conejo Valley seminar - I gave him the following query: since the dead Germans chase you, I was wondering if the ones from the 1752 Queen of Denmark (from Hamburg) have ever chased you. (Attached neccesary docs). Second question: I have seen a book called Familiennamen in der Landgrafschaft - Hessen-Homburg. It looks to be an interesting way to see where there are concentrations of Reinharts. Are you familiar with this series of books and do you know what library might have them so I can get the Reinhard pages copied? What is your opinion on their worth for this idea? 2 Oct 1995 - He answered: No, I've never looked into any of the passengers on the 1752 Queen of Denmark ship from Hamburg. You might want to write my colleague Annette Burgert about this (address etc below). As to the whereabouts of the Familiennamen... as I told you at the conference, I just don't know. Annette may have some of these in her excellent home library. He also added a note: See the "Yearbook of the PA German Soc 1979" pg 167-8 for the data on Pastor Wortman. He was born at Mitteln Kirchen Nei (hei?) Stade and matriculated at Goettingan University 21 Apr 1738. "Served a parish near Hamburg". (His address: PO Box 261388 San Diego CA 92196-1388). Annette K Burgert (Mrs Richard) FASG 691 Wavertown Rd Myerstown PA 17067 (717) 866-2300 4 Oct 1995 - I called her, then wrote: Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to talk to me on the phone this evening and checking your records. Just for written verification, I am not asking to become a client, and understand that you are not taking new clients at this time. I am enclosing $10 as requested for you to check through your records and see if you have already done any research on any of the passengers from the 1752 Queen of denmark from Hamburg. I understand that sailing from Hamburg was very unusual at this time period. Enclosed is a family group sheet for my immigrant Johann George reinhard (JGR), and the passenger list with his name highlighted in blue. Also highlighted (in yellow) are the names of some of the people who were associated with him in some way. Some were neighbors, others had descendants who married Johann Georg's descendants. The minister on the ship was Hinrich Burchard Gabriel Wortmann, who doesn't seem to show up in the vicinity of JGR, but I know that the minister is always a clue to follow up. Henry Jones said there was some data on Pastor Wortmann in "Yearbook fo the PA German Society 1979) on page 167-168. That he was born at Mitteln Kirchen Nei Stade and matriculated at Goettingan University 21 Apr 1738 and "serverd a parish near Hamburg". Since I just got this clue from him today, I have not had a chance to find that publication yet. If tracking the minister or any of the other passengers does not lead to JGR's ancestral village, my next clue woud be to find where the greatest concentrations of Reinhards are located. Enclosed is title page and sample page from book that looks like it might be helpful. Kind like looking in a census index to see what counties have the largest concentrations of a name. Anyway, Salt Lake only had the one book from the Hessen-Homburg area, and I need to find out where there are others of these books to copy the Reinhard entries from. I would appreciate knowing if you have any more of this series, or know where they might be found (preferably in America). 29 Feb 1996 - Annette responded: I hardly know how to start this apology! Long before the Holidays, some letters were put aside with good intentions of answering late, but out-of-sight, out-of-mind. It's a good thing that spring housecleaning comes along, because I started through several stacks of papers, and was surprised to find the selft-addressed envelope that you had enclosed with your letter asking for help on the immigrant Johann Georg Reinhard on the 1752 Queen of Denmark. I enclose a page from Vol XII of the publications of the PA German Folklore Society (1948), an article titled Pennsylvania German Pioneers from the County of Wertheim. This indicates a possibility that the 1752 arrival might be the Johann Georg Reiner from Nassig who received an emigration permit that year. (Page 237 enclosed). Almost all of my research has been concentrated in the areas more to the south in Germany and Switzerland. I do have in my files a bit of information about this particular ship that might be of interest to you: The Queen of Denmark, 1752, Capt. George Parish, had 41 convicts from the Hamburg workhouse and jails aboard who were shipped out by order of the Hamburg Senate (city government). This was sent to me weveral years ago by Klaus Wust, the historian who wrote The Virginia Germans and many other works. He was planning to prepare and article about the convict transports, but I don't know if this has yet been published. He shared with me a few of the names, but your immigrant was not among them. But it certainly does explain the reason for the departure of this ship from that port. Again, my apologies for being so long in sending this to you. Clearly, the memory gets shorter as the years increase! The page she enclosed had this entry: Reiner, Johann Georg - Nassig (1752) May 20, 1752; single, wants to go to Pennsylvania with 130 florins. In the Village Mayor's Report for Nassig (1753), he is called "Hans Georg Reiner, single." // Perhaps Johann Georg Reinhard, Ship Queen of Denmark, Novenber 3, 1752 (Hinke, I, 506). It seems that he was not the George Reinerd, farmer of Upper Milford Tp., Northampton (now Lehigh) Co., Pa., in 1772 (3PA, XIX, 10), who was a Wurttemberger. I disagree with this entry that he's mine, because my guy had to be married since his son was born in May 1752. Klaus Wust RR4 Edinburg VA 22824-9804 (540)459-4598 - alt address 350 Bleeker St #4S NYC NY 10014-2636 (212) 675-7215 9 Oct 1996 I called and he'll send what he has but not til back in VA at the end of Nov. 4 Jan 1997 postcard said: Excuse the delay but I was ill for several weeks. I have checked all my records but did not find your Joh. Georg Reinhard. I am keeping the note for future chances. Stassburger lists the following (among others) as passengers with Johann Georg Reinhard (so watch for these people in Germany): Johann Henrich BAUER, Andereas ULTSCH, Joh. Sebastian VOGHT, Georg Bastian FISCHER, Peter WIESE, G.Leopold HENIG, Johann Zacharias JAHN, George Christian MEYER, Christoph MOYER. See page 15 in Rbt Edw book for more detail. In light of above names, check on following IGI entries: Andreas Ultsch - Susanna Maria Barth Jan 1726 Naisndorf(sp?) Sachsen Preussen - batch 761962539 source 1058574. Johann Henrich Hahn - Anna Elisabeth Wesp 16 Nov 1747 Weiterstadt Starkenburg Hessen - batch 216096218 source 1553438. Georg Christan Meeyer - Rosina Gauner 28 Nov 1748 Fraureuth Reuss-Aelter-Linig Thuringen. (why no batch and source #?) Since Johann Nicolaus & Barbar Schmidt were sponsors at Barbara's baptism, I also noted Johann Jacob Schmidt & Anna Barbara Geyer 14 Jul 1744 Evangelisch Lampertheim, Starkenburg, Hessen. M925782 1729-1807 1195061. Note that several things lead to Starkenburg in Hessen. Register of clergy & schoolteachers in Starkenberg 1521-1923 film 415526 #2 doesn't show Hinrich Burchard Gabriel Wormann, the Lutheran minister on the ship w/Johann Georg Reinhardt. |
