Records of George Dieter (Teter) in Augusta County, VA

From Chalkley's Augusta County Records:


  • Vol. 1 - DISTRICT COURT EXECUTIONS. - SEPTEMBER, 1794 (A to J). - Gregg vs. Hinkle.--Sir:--I understand that you are much dissatisfied about the land that I surveyed for Abraham Teter, on the north side of Seneca, joining his own land, saying I promised to send you word before I surveyed it. I remember of promising not to survey it before Andrew Johnson would return from Rockingham, who was to bring your entry, and Andrew returned and brought no entry; and, moreover, old George Teter searched Lewis's records and found no such entry as you spoke of, and the widow Deter demanded the surveying of the same, and as Abraham had the oldest entry by warrant, I thought myself in duty bound to survey it, neither saw I any occasion to send for you, when I knew you had no entry for the land, and yet had time to procure it, and, furthermore, it is uncertain whether old entrys are prolonged on the Eastern waters or not, for Mr. Lewis wrote to me that he knew that they were prolonged on the Western waters, but not on our waters. But if your right is good, my surveying of it will not hinder you from obtaining it, for I don't mean to make the plot till you are satisfied about it. I am ready, at your demand, to survey 100 acres for you on Seneca, above Abraham Teter's land, for your entry is now made by warrant, for I lately obtained a warrant for you from Colonel Hamilton. I desire that you be moderate in your censures, and, whether or not, I am your hearty well-wisher and obsequious, M. Henkle. To Mr. Wm. Gragg. (Addressed) Mr. William Gragg, Sr., On Seneca.'


Information on George Dieter (Teter)

George Teter married Maryanna Margaret Henkel. She was born April 30, 1741, and was the daughter of Justus Henkel Sr. and his wife Magdalena Eschmann. The date of the marriage was probably about the time of the removal of the Teter and Henkel families from North Carolina to Virginia. (One descendant gives the date as December 24, 1763, but with no authority). After the death of George Teter, his widow Margaret appears in the Personal tax lists for 1799 as the "Widow Teeter" with 1 male over 16 years of age (her son George, as the other sons Paul, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph appear separately. She also appears, (by name Margaret) in the lists for 1800, but is not present in the lists after that date. Either she died about that time or ceased to have a separate establishment and lived with some one of her children. Quite possibly she is the "Margaret Ditter" whose death is given on the records of the old Lutheran church on North Mill Creek in (now) Grant county. In the list of those who died is: Margt. Ditter - born December 9, 1738, died February 8, 1801. (This date of birth does not agree with that given by the Justus Henkel family records, but may well be a mistake in one place of the other. There appears to be no other Margaret Teter in that section of the right age. This church is where the Henkels and their relations worshipped). On the list of communicants in this church on June 24, 1798 given by Rev. Hofman are: Margaret Dider Maria " Anna "
