Notes

Johann Wilhelm Lotspeich was four years older than his sister Johanna Lotspeich. We know that he married Magdalena Klug, daughter of Rev. Klug who died in 1764 in Culpeper Co. In his estate settlement in 1775, William Lotspeich is mentioned but that is not evidence that he was married to Magdalena in 1764. According to some estimates of her age, she was much too young to marry in 1764. William Lotspeich was active in land trading in Culpeper County. The first mention of Magdalena is in 1774. Matthew Broyles in Greene County, Tennessee, gave a power of attorney to William Lotspeich of Stafford Co., Virginia. (The two men had married sisters.) In 1781, William Lotspeich is in Culpeper Class 106. The trail goes cold here for a while but in 1811 he is mentioned in a Kentucky paper in the matter of a stolen watch. Magdalena died in 1820 in Lexington. Later, William Lotspeich married Sarah Sprake and he died in 1828 at the age of 88. Five children, four of them daughters, are known. The son was David. However, in 1819, a Benjamin Lotspeich is twice mentioned in the newspaper as a tobacco manufacturer. He might be an additional son.
