Victor Jones gives him as possible Paletine – he was a wit to the Will of John Miller in 1732 and guardian of the children of Christian and Mary Zeorge in 1732. Zeorge also written as Leorge/Ziorjen – first name Jakob – a Paletine. Zeorge 's wife was Catherine – children Jacob d 1737, Christian, Mary who md Hugh Stannaland by 1737 This name probably turned into Zeagler. They married into the James Davis family probably more than once.

Blither – no date *** From Victor Dear Martha, I've been looking for Wendel, but he is a hard one to track. The earliest mention I can find is Craven County Court December 1732 term when he is made guardian of Christian and Mary Zeorge, children of Jacob Zeorge [Ziorjien]. At the same court he appears on a jury to make a road in the Mill Creek area of present day Jones County. Other neighbors appearing on the jury: George Coons, Peter Mallard, Abraham Bussett, Hugh Stanly, Robert 'Davit', and others. (From Haun, Craven Court Minutes v. 2). Wendel does not appear in volume 1. That, along with the headrights proven in 1745, might indicate he came with the "second" influx of German speaking immigrants/emigrants in the 1730s. This second influx occurred after the fallout of the Tuscarora War and the politics of the Proprietorship had settled down (now that N.C. was a royal colony). Most of these migrated from New York and Pennsylvania, I think. I'm getting a little rusty in this area and need to read up on this segment of history again ;-) I do know that the Boney family of Duplin County came to N.C. about this time, too. If I find anything else that may prove useful, I'll send it your way. Best wishes, Victor |
