Does anyone know if a Sebastian Dieter/Teter was living among the Germanna folks (Robinson River valley) during the years 1739 to 1745? Is there any record? And was he Georg Teter's brother, or was he related to the Georg Dieter in Opequon? Sebastian Dieter and Georg Teter of Germanna seem to have different fathers (Mattaeus vs. Michael). Both men were from Schwaigern. I'm very anxious to solve this riddle. Thanks! Jill

I have a Teter history but it does not list any Sebastian being with the George Teter family in Pa., Germanna or NC when several members of this family married into the Johan Justus Henkel family. Johan Jusus Henkel was the son of Rev. Anthony Jacob Henkel. About 1760 some of these families migrated back to Virginia, settling in what is now Pendleton Co., WV. Could you give us more details about the Sebastian you mentioned? A Teter DNA study would be helpful. In the 1828 Pa. road petition, the list includes Gerhardt Henkel, the son of Rev. Anthony J. Henkel and Valentine Geiger, his son in law according to this Teter history.
