Notes

The other brother of Johanna Friederika Lotspeich was Johann Christopher Lotspeich. He was born in 1750 and died in 1830 in Greeneville, Tennessee. His arrival in America was in 1772 on the ship Catherine. Four years later he was a witness in the Culpeper Co. deed book. In the Bourbon Co. Deed Book it is recorded in 1795 that he received a distribution from his uncle's estate. He was said to be "of Virginia." Apparently, the record is in Bourbon Co. because his sister was living there. In 1798, there is a record in Greene Co., Tennessee, in which Christopher signed a release to his uncle's executors.
Johann Christopher Lotspeich was a resident of Greene County for many years as he had a North Carolina land grant in 1788. His will was proven in Greene County in 1830. He had married Rebecca Barbara Hartley in Culpeper Co. and they were the parents of fifteen children. Christopher was a Quaker who would not allow any work, including cooking, on Sunday. However, Rebecca was a Methodist and two of their sons were Methodist ministers.
