> Mary Wintrode b. 4 Jan 1775 Frederick Co., Maryland daughter of Johann Peter > Winterroth and Ann Maria Michael of Frederick Co Maryland. ********* Several years ago I had a request on Johann Peter Winterroth - he came to near Deerfield - now South Lebanon OH - in c1802 (as soon as lands were available in the Virginia Bounty Lands). South Lebanon is on the Little Miami River there. He died a few years later (c1806), and was buried in a cemetery that then lay across the street from now the school (downtown). This cemetery was closed and the stones were moved up on the hill to the east, and are the "Old" section (yes, his stone is there). This was on the Indian Road, going north from the Bullskin landing toward the crossing of the Great Miami River at Franklin - going through Lebanon OH, and some 10 miles north of the Obannon Church. This would have been close to the area where the Deacon John Bowman family had lived -sometime just before 1800. It would have been a few miles beyond where the Philip Jacob Miller lands were, on the Clermont-Warren County line - or likely a part of the Obannon Church membership - I do not know of any other Brethren families living beyond there. They moved on up to near Dayton. Deerfield (S Lebanon) was where my Elijah Newton ancestor came, right after the War of 1812 (from Deerfield CONN - wonder if Elijah gave it its name?) About 1819, Elijah married as second wife, Christena, daughter of Deacon Gabriel Karns, and moved down to south of Edenton (maybe 5 miles east of where Gabriel lived). Newtonsville OH (south of Stonelick -in Clermont County) is a derivative of his family.. Merle C Rummel
