• Will: 15 Mar 1777, , Loudoun, Virginia, USA

Notes:

Phillip Lutsinger - Phillip is listed twice in "Settlers of Maryland 1751-1765. First, on page 170, Philip Litzsinger is listed in Frederick County as owner of 31 acres of land called "Philip's Choice"; this entry was dated 9 Apr 1765. Second, on page 250, Philip Sitzsinger is listed for the same above land, but the date there for was 9 Apr 1764. In "Monocacy and Catoctin", C. E. Schildknecht, editor, page 95, Philip Litsinger is mentioned as a head of families of Frederick County who, in March 1766, petitioned the Governor to call the MD Assembly for the purpose of issuing bills of credit (paper money). From this last item, Philip Litsinger is listed in the "Genealogical Index to Frederick County, MD", page 59. According to Frederick County land records, on August 21, 1769, Philip Letzinger and his wife Sarah sold their land to Peter Yeader. Their land was called "Philips Chance" and was located in the area of Little Antietam, which was southwest of the town of Frederick. (note: the variation in the name of Philip's land was probably a result of transcription rather than there having been two different areas of land by different names.) In Loudoun County, VA, heads of families paid a yearly tithe to the court. The name of Phillip appears as follows in "Loudoun County Virginia Tithables 1758-1778," volume 2: pages 526 (Phillip Ledsinner), 543 (Fillep Ledsinger), 699 (Philip Letsinger) and 846 (Philip Lettsinger). On March 15, 1777, in Loudoun County, VA, Philip Lutesinger made his will in which he mentioned his wife Sarah and children Michael, Philp and Rebecca. Phillip's children, Philip and Becky, were mentioned in an Indenture of Lease made between George William Fairfax and James Neilson in June 1787 ("Virginia County Court Records, Deed Abstracts of Loudoun County, Virginia, 1787-1788", page 40); Philip and Rebecca were identified as the children of Nielson's wife by her former husband. We have no further information on wife Sarah or children Michael and Rebecca, except for Michael possibly being in Baltimore County, MD in 1783, as mentioned above. (from John Shinpaugh)

Notes:

Michael Lutsinger - Michael Lutsinger arrived in Philadelphia, PA, on September 9, 1738, aboard the ship "Glasgow" from Rotterdam, Germany, via Cowes, England. He was age 29 at the time and was one of 120 men along with 229 women and children who sailed together from Europe to America (they were called Palatines because they came from the region of Germany called the Rheinland Palatinate). On this same date, he and the other male adults were qualified and took oaths to the Government at the Courthouse in Philadelphia. This infomation may be found in "Pennsylvania German Pioneers", pages 204-208. According to "Colonial Soldiers of the South, 1732-1774" by Murtie June Clark, page 96, Michael Letsinger was in Captain John White's Company, Maryland Militia, for six days service, about 1758. In an issue of the Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. 9, article titled "French and Indian War", page 267, Michael Letsinger is reported to have received 48 0..6..0 pounds for his service during the French and Indian War. In "Monocacy and Catoctin", C. E. Schildknecht, editor, page 261, Michael Lutzinger is mentioned for giving a bill of sale in 1759 to George Poe for 3 horses, 7 cattle, and one iron pot; this transaction apparently occurred in Middletown Valley, which is located west of Frederick, MD. This information originated from Frederick County, MD land records, specifically Land Record F. >From this last item, Michael Lutzinger is listed in the "Genealogical Index to Frederick County, MD", Vol. 3, page 89. Finally, in the "1783 Tax List for Baltimore County, Maryland, Baltimore East Hundred", page 10 of a transcribed version, the name Michael Litzinger appears, along with Henry Litzinger and Peter Letzinger. Since Michael Lutsinger was born in 1709, I believe this Michael may have been either the eldest son of Phillip, below, or a member of the Baltimore area Litsinger families. (from John Shinpaugh)
