    1. Re: John Wilhoit (1711- Germany>VA)

    3. Hi Allison, Here is what "The Germanna Record Number 13" has to say about your John Wilhoit (page 50-51). The article was written by John Connie Wilhite, Jr. In addition to a large amount on the Wilhoits, another large section features the Weaver family. It's probably worth your while to send for one if the Weavers are part of your line, too. I think it was $12 and ordering information is available at http://www.germanna.org/gpubs.htm 3. JOHN WILHOIT (M) MARGARET (PEGGY) WEAVER, Daughter of Peter and Mary (Huffman) Weaver, Jr. Some think this was his second wife. W.W. Scott in his "History of Orange Co., Va" lists the naturalization of two John Wilhoits, one in 1735 and the other February 24, 1743 as being German, (the 1743 naturalization is probably the same as the one recorded October 19, 1745). Although Mr. Garr made a mistake in "Garr Genealogy" by stating that Michael, Tobias, John and Adam were brothers, yet we feel that he was correct about the descendents of John since his Garr family was so closely related to the family of John Wilhoit. We have the following data on John Wilhoit but we are not sure that all this data is about the same person. John Wilhoit was in the French and Indian War, also in the Revolution 1778-1781 and was at the siege of Yorktown. John J. Wilhoit and Frederick Cobler were bondsmen for John Carpenter, administrator of the settlement of the estate of Andrew Kerker, July 27, 1738 (Orange W.B. 1, p. 50). John Wilhoit was listed as a taxpayer in Orange Co. in 1739. He witnessed the will of Frederick Baumgardner September 8, 1745. He was also security for Catherine Baumgardner the administrator for the settlement of the estate of Frederick Baumgardner (Orange W.B. 2, p. 94). He was granted 116 acres of land February 13, 1747 (Richmond Land Grant Book G, page 40). He and his wife Margaret deeded land to William Morris in 1763. His estate was divided between the following children January 25, 1798 (Madison W.B. 1, p. 162). (Ref. Wm. ~ Mary Quarterly, Vol. 26, and Garr Genealogy). 13. MARY b. 1737 (m) John (Blind) Yager 14.
