Information on Michael Coiner
http://www.branches-n-twigs.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I513&tree=allfam
Birth 29 Jan 1720 Winterlingen, Württemberg, Germany [1, 2]
Gender Male
Physical Description Michael was of medium size, well developed and well proportioned, straight and walked erect. [3]
His voice was rather coarse. When irritated he had a hot temper. In his latter years he sometimes spent a week with his son Casper. His daughter-in-law said of him that he was as agreeable a visitor as one could wish.
Military Service United States Revolutionary War [4]
Private in the Revolution, Northampton Co., Pennsylvania Militia
Michael's older sons were also Revolutionary War Veterans:
Casper Koiner/Keinadt - Private in the Pennsylvania Militia
Conrad Koiner/Keinadt - Ensign in the Pennsylvania Navy
George Adam Koiner/Keinadt - Private in the Pennsylvania Militia
George Michael Koiner/Keinadt - Private in the Pennsylvania Militia
Personal Information All of Michael's children except for Conrad removed to Augusta County and were well provided for by him. His sons were given land, and his daughters were provided for in other ways. [5]
Personal Information He made five trading voyages across the Atlantic after his first arrival in Pennsylvania. [6]
On his last trip back to Germany, he pursuaded his sister, a fine singer, to join him in the New World. During the voyage they encountered a fierce storm and his sister was washed overboard and lost at sea. All the goods he had bought to sell in the New World were thrown overboard to save the vessel. He never again made another ocean voyage.
Personal Information Like many people coming to this country in the early days, especially those that were not of English descent, the surname of Michael's offspring went through many changes.
German names seldom remained unchanged. They were anglicized, and the spelling was left to the whim of those who were recording names. They were usually spelled as they sounded to the person doing the recording. Therefore, not all of the branches of Michael's family used the same spelling.
Personal Information Removed to Augusta County, Virginia, in the Autumn of 1789. [5]
On 25 sep 1790 he bought 200 acres of land from David Huffelpower. On 21 Oct 1790, there was conveyed to Michael "Coinert" from Archibald Bolling 303 acres of land on South River, for the price of £400. This is where he lived the last years of his life.
