Lois, If this site is still online, we may be able to knit something together: http://www.rootsweb.com/~pasomers/addison/augustine.htm Some of the Augenstein brothers, arriving in America in the midst of this political turmoil, changed the spelling of their name, their religious affiliation and adopted new political views. Casper Augenstein, his wife and son Peter had sailed from Rotterdam aboard the ship "Two Brothers". They arrived in Philadelphia on September 21, 1751, thus becoming the first known member of the Augenstein family to settle in North America. On this same ship were the******* Hershbergers*******, who were to settle as neighbors in Maryland. Casper Augenstein, (later known as Jasper Augustine) first settled in Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In 1765, he fled to the wilderness of southwestern (Virginia) Pennsylvania. He settled along General Braddock's Trail, just two miles from the Maryland line, in the area presently known as Addison.The village of Petersburg will later have it name changed to the present "Addison". === Your arrival date is a bit different----but some families may have come in ensuing years--? My George Frederick Harsh family came in 1751, also, and I have always wondered if they may have shortened their name and had a phonetic/vowel change ; ) They lived near Hagerstown before coming to Preston Co., WV, in 1788. I have a few Hershberger notes from the Frederick area. Further on in the above quoted page it mentions a part of the Wotring family. One of the Augensteins married a Wotring, I believe. Wotrings are my family and came to Preston Co. in 1787 (bought the land). Sooooooooo, maybe the names are all close family----??? =;o) Carolyn
