SPRINKLE Anthony

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1810, Berkley, West Virginia

Notes:

Migration of the Sprinkle family (From The Sprinkle Family in America):
The Sprinkle family's migration follows the trail of William Senior's two oldest sons, William and Henry. During the early 1780's they headed southwest with many of their neighbors. From the rocky hills of Pennsylvania they solowly moved their faith and families to the fertile and rolling valley of the Shenandoah River. At least half of the settlers of this Valley of Virginia could boast of a German ancestry. During the course of the next fifteen years, the Sprinkel kin and cousins discovered different places to call home in Virginia. Virginia was the most populous of the original thirteen colonies. By 1800 it had 91 counties and a population of 880,000 many of whom were slaves, although the German settlers had little tolerance for slavery. For a few years, William and Henry sojourned with their families in Berkeley County (Jefferson County in 1801, now West Virginia). Casper Walper married Henry's daughter, Mary, on 3 June 1789. When Casper died there in 1815, Mary stayed on his farm. She evetually married Joseph Engle and later died in the area on 8 October 1846. In 1799, Casper acted as surety to bond the marriage of Henry's daughter, Elizabeth Sprinkle, and John Darnhafer. William's daughter, Elizabeth, married William Becket in 1792, and his son, Peter, married Nancy Redfern on 16 March 1800. Another son, Anthony, may have married during this same time period. He resided in the Berkeley area for a number of years as the 1810 census shows.

Notes:

I was told as a child that we were distant cousins of Amelia Earhart, I now wonder if Anna Catherina Ehrhard was an ancestor of Amelia Earhart's. Will have to look into it later...
