George SPENGLER
BORN:
MARRIED:
DIED:
 
      Children:
 
  1. Matthias SPENGLER
 
      Father: Jorg Heinrich SPENGLER
      Mother: Susanna Miller

      Notes

 

George cannot be identified with certainty. The family tradition is that he came to America from Bavaria by way of Rotterdam. If he were the son of Jorg and Sussana, he would have been only a year or so when he came to America.

He may be the same George who was a captain in the Revolutionary War and served as an aide-de-camp to George Washington. It appears that, at the Battle of Trenton (NJ), he was shot in the leg. Necrosis of the bone set in from the wound. From time to time parts of his bone would slough off. He kept the parts and had them buried with him.

  7. Elizabeth SPANGLER
  8. Margaret SPANGLER
 
      Father: George SPENGLER
      Mother:

      Notes

 

Tradition has it that Mathias was the son of Captain George SPENGLER and that he married a woman named Juliana.

This may be the same Mathew Spangler who signed the Patriots' Oath in Maryland in 1778. Mathias' name next appears in the Probate Records of Washington Country (MD) in 1781. His will was filed in the Orphans' Court at Hagerstown (MD) on March 28, 1781 and was still available in 1894. He must have joined the army because he eventually died as a result of wounds he received at the Battle of Trenton in the Revolutionary War.

Mathias moved from York to Maryland and became Frederick's first blacksmith. He later moved to Sharpsburg (MD). A reference to him from 1781 is found in the Probate Records of Washington County (MD) at Hagerstown.
