Note: This article contains new research that has yet to be published elsewhere. As there is great demand for information concerning Peter Delp’s ancestry, I have provided my research findings through this article for the general public. However, as this is my original research, any researchers using this information for their own research or findings must cite or credit this article, regardless of any of the other original material cited herewith. Please contact the author if you have any questions concerning any information in this article. Conflicts with these findings must be addressed to bsburns1985@gmail.com.
For many years, the ancestry of the Delp family of Grayson County, Virginia, has remained a controversial mystery. Efforts to connect the patriarch, Peter Delp, to George Delp and Barbara Moyer of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, have long since been disproven[1], even though it is still an oft-repeated connection in many amateur genealogies of the family. These efforts were reignited after 2006, when a y-DNA study sought to examine the Delp lineages and bring some closure[2]. Although by 2013, only six male participants had taken part of this study, there was enough evidence to make a conclusion: five descendants of Peter Delp of Grayson County (through his son, John Delp) found a connection to a German DNA participant who was a proven descendant of Wilhelm Delph, one of the earliest proven Delp/Delph family members in Germany in the early 17th century. But if Peter Delp was not George Delp’s son, where did Peter Delp fit in with the rest of the family?
The answer to this question has been dogging everyone for years. However, in resolving this issue, there were two areas whereupon the research fell upon:
- Examine all possible spellings of the surname.
- Use cluster genealogy to follow migration patterns.
The first is extremely important when researching German surnames. It may be easy for us to be spoiled in our modern society of vital records and civil registrations, where we are commonly thought a surname has an exact spelling. However, this is absolutely not how we arrived at this point. Names were always spelled phonetically, particularly when the record taker was of a different ethnicity or educated through a different language, or even more, when the person in question was illiterate. The American public education did not exist until the 1830s; illiteracy was nearly half of the population throughout the 18th century, but amazingly, by 1850, even in the American south, at least 80% of free adults (read this as free white adults) were literate[3]; many of these men were autodidacts, that is, self-taught learners. The rise in literacy very much begins to align with how there was more “stability” in surname spelling variants (i.e., less variations in one surname spelling). This very much matters as a topic, however, because during the 18th century, men of Anglican backgrounds dominated government politics, and it was the governments who largely kept records (outside of the churches). The English alphabet is very different from Dutch and German alphabets, for instance, and therefore, pronunciations can be a hurdle. Couple this with dialects and you have all the makings for a tax assessor trying to spell a surname Schneider. Schneider can then be found as Schneyder, Snider, Sneider, Shneider, Sneijder, Snijder, Schnider, Schnaider, Znaider, Schneidre, and the common Snyder, the latter the most anglicized form of the surname. You may also find Schneider is entirely translated from its original Schneider into the English Taylor, in the literal sense, since “schneiden” in German means “to cut.”
The second approach is also an extremely important in tracing families during the 18th century in particular, as westward migrations can often be linked to groupings of families that moved for a variety of reasons. Whatever the reason for a migration, the same could often be found occurring with a number of other families and, by association, these families would often follow each other to establish new communities. These reasons may have been political, such as the aforesaid domination of Anglican power in older, more established areas of the eastern United States, which were less friendly to new immigrants arriving in their communities. During the 18th century, non-Anglican groups such as Scottish Presbyterians, Quakers, Mennonites and any other German Protestant groups, and any other similar group (by ethnicity or religion) were often pushed westward into pioneer communities on the edge of development; these groups would often act as barriers to the English communities from attacks by Native Americans[4]. The reasons may have been religious, whether remaining in the “religious zone” (i.e., the buffer between the English and natives) or whether it was establishing a new congregation in a different location. The reasons could be related to ongoing tensions leading to and during the American Revolution; the frontier was a well-known haven for Loyalists. Whatever the reason, however, families of like-minded characteristics often traveled with someone else of a similar constitution.
All of this takes us to Peter Delp and the Delp family overall. There were a number of recorded Delp immigrants to the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s; of course, many ships carrying immigrants did not always keep passenger lists during this period. Many other immigrants are only known and found upon their arrival when taking an oath of allegiance to the King of England. In any event, the Delps constituting those who settled in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, were far from the only Delp families in the Americas; they just happened to be the largest grouping and cluster of representatives of the family name. I have also previously commented on another branch of the Delp family that settled in northern Virginia, near the German communities east of the Shenandoah Valley. This branch is also related to the Delps of Pennsylvania, but through a different immigrant ancestor.
Using the advice above, all spellings of the Delp surname needed to be considered. It would seem easy, upon first glance and pronunciation, that Delp would have few variants. But, as is the case with any surname, say it fast and say it slow; say it with an accent, say it with a lisp, say it clearly. Early records often included an -h in the surname, making the name Delph. The indication of this -h would indicate the “Delp” pronunciation did not finish with a hard “p,” making it rhyme with help. Adding an -h for German would change the pronunciation to a surname that rhymes with self. Therefore, Delp could be phonetically found as Delf. And yes, you can find this spelling in North Carolina in the 1700s; when written in German script, of course, the “p” could be written to look like an Arabic “f,” therefore, translations of records can make the Delp look like Delf. As is the case with some other German surnames beginning with “D-,” the “D” can be a harsh “D” that can sometimes come across as a “T.” Therefore, Dieter can be found as Tieter or Teter. So, it is possible that Delp can be found as Telp. To speed up this conversation, Delp was soon found to be Dolp, Dölp, Delb, Doelpin (the feminine version of the name for unwed women), and Doelp (anglicized, when umlauts are not used).
Focus also surrounded on one Isaac Leopoldus Delp, who arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 1 September 1736[5], when he took the required oath to the King of England; he was among the “Palatines imported in the ship Harle, of London,” commanded by Ralph Harle, who had sailed from Rotterdam, Holland, and stopped at Cowes, England. The ship contained 156 men, 65 women, and 167 “boys and girls,” containing in all 388 passengers. His whereabouts immediately thereafter are still being learned, but it appears that he removed to Bucks County, Pennsylvania, within a year or two. This is supported by an application for a survey of land on 11 September 1738 in Upper Milford Township, Bucks County (this later was incorporated into Northampton County after 1752) to one Peter Rosz (also Rose)[6]; sometime shortly thereafter, Rosz transferred this land to Isaac Delpe. Isaac received the warrant for 150 acres in Upper Milford Township on 31 January 1743; the return of the warrant would not be made, however, until 8 February 1763, by which time Isaac was deceased. The location of Delp’s land was located a short distance from a congregation of a Lutheran church in what was later included in Lower Milford Township (in Lehigh County after 1812). In the 1880s, Delp’s property was owned by one Abraham Musselman, and located a short distance from the Upper Milford Congregation School, later known as the Union School, on a property containing 29 acres and 37 perches[7]. A warrant was not issued for this property until 24 April 1770[8].
Information is still be learned at this time about the minutes of this congregation, but Isaac Dölp and his wife Margaretha were members of this church. The church today stands in the town of Dillingersville, Pennsylvania. Their activity at the church begins by 1746 and continues through the beginning of the 1760s; throughout this time, we also learn that Isaac Delb’s sister-in-law, Catharina Weidknechten, was also a member of the church. Isaac, Margaretha, and Catharina entered into communion at the church on 22 April 1751[9], and again on 10 May 1752[10]. In 1754’s communion list, we find Isaac Delp and wife Maria Magdalena, daughter Maria Luise, and “Cathrine Weidknechten’s widow and Delp’s mother-in-law.”[11] The communion of 1755, on the first day of the Pentecost, excludes Isaac Delp but his wife, daughter Elisabetha Doelpin, and Catharina Weitknechten were present[12]. Isaac and Magdalena were on the communion list on 1 January 1756 with their children Frederick and Maria Luisa[13]. The family and select children continue to appear in communion lists until 1759[14]. During this same period, between 1755 and 1759, Isaac Delb regularly appears on congregant lists paying taxes to the church, paying the sum of 15 shillings each time[15]. We are certain the Isaac Delp of this congregation is the German immigrant because multiple church lists and baptisms record him under his full church name, Isaac(k) Leopold Dölp, often with his wife (Maria) Magdalena. Isaac and Magdalena were the sponsors at the baptism of Isaac Leopold Hilligert on 22 December 1755[16], whereby Isaac’s name was undoubtedly the source for the naming of the infant son of Franz and Christina Hilligert. They were also sponsors of the baptism of Maria Magdalena Shantz at the same church on 13 November 1757, whereby Maria Magdalena’s name was also taken from Isaac’s wife[17].
According to a history of the Upper Milford church, attacks from Native Americans increased steadily by 1760. At the time, the church was led by one Pastor John Friederici, but as attacks increased, he was prompted to remove the congregation elsewhere in 1761[18]. Not everyone in the community followed, leaving a church that seemingly had no recorded pastor for several years. In the church’s official register of records, there were only two recorded baptisms through the late 1760s, and no communion lists. Although some activity resumed with the Upper Milford church by 1766, a communicant list from 1767 shows there were only 25 members of the church. Recording activity suddenly ceased with the congregation thereafter and did not resume until 1789, for reasons not fully explained[19].
Part of the reason for the shift in congregant activity has to deal with the original congregation splintering in 1758, reportedly over dissention with Rev. John Friederici at Upper Milford[20]. In that year, Peter Hittel and several others left the congregation to establish a new church two miles to the north of the Upper Milford church. On 20 May 1757, Hittel donated one acre of land to build a church that is now located in the town of Zionsville, Pennsylvania[21]. Once the church was established, it seemingly absorbed multiple attendants of the Upper Milford church, presumably since the community was also relatively stable and safer from attack. By May of 1768, most of the congregation from Upper Milford church had transferred membership to the Zionsville church. Around 1791, the Upper Milford church had become a public school, the Union School at Dillingersville[22].
There is little recorded activity during this period for Isaac Delp, but he remained at Upper Milford church. He was buried at the churchyard on 15 July 1760, according to the church’s register of burials, aged 49 years[23], though no known tombstone stands at this time. An inventory of his personal estate is known to exist in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, though it was never officially recorded in its will books. His widow, Magdalena, continued to reside in Upper Milford Township, as she was a sponsor for the baptism of Maria Magdalena Florus, daughter of Michael Florus, who was baptized on 26 October 1760 at the Upper Milford church[24]. Meanwhile, in 1761 and 1763, the Delp property was taxed under the names of the elder sons, Frederick Delp[25] and Valentin Delp. When Magdalena Delp died, however, we do not know, since this period is also when we begin losing records of the Upper Milford church. Magdalena was the former Magdalena Frutsch, as Isaac and Magdalena were both married on 4 October 1735 in Eberstadt, in what is now the German state of Hesse, Germany; she was the daughter of one Michael Frutsch of Eberstadt[26].
Based on the church records, however, we know of the following births of children to Isaac and Magdalena:
- Maria Luise Dölp, baptized 25 November 1735 at Eberstadt, Hesse (now in Germany)[27]. She sponsored the baptism of Marie Luise Shantz on 18 January 1756, the daughter of Jacob and Margretthe Shantz[28]. Maria Luisa was confirmed at Upper Milford church on 9 November 1751 and entered into communion[29].
- Friedrich (Frederick) Dölp, born 11 December 1739, probably in Philadelphia, PA, and died 24 September 1809 in York Co, PA. While he is one of three known children of Isaac and Magdalena who does not have a located baptismal record (at this time), he is known through the communion lists as a proven son. He married twice in his life, to Anna Barbara —, and secondly to Anna Jacoby. He relocated to York County prior to the American Revolution. He has many descendants traced from that location.
- Valentin Dölp, born ca. 1740-41 in Bucks Co, PA. He entered into communion at the Upper Milford church on the “third Sunday after Trinity” in 1757[30]; he was taxed in Upper Milford Township by 1761, thus establishing his age. He is possibly the Valentine Delb who was a communicant of the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Nockamixon Township, Bucks Co, PA, in May 1773.
- Catharina Delb, born 9 June 1746 and baptized at Upper Milford Township, Bucks Co (now Northampton Co), PA, on 15 June 1746[31]; her sponsors were Johann Adam Tromp and Catharina Guthmannin, “both of them unmarried.”
- Elisabetha Delb, whose birth has not been located, but may have been born by 1745, in between births of Valentin and Catharina. She was certainly alive as of the list on the Pentecost of 1755.
- Peter Dölp, born 29 January 1752 and baptized 3 February 1752 at Upper Milford Township, Northampton Co, PA[32]; his sponsors were Johann Peter Mechlin (“Theobald Mechlin’s son”) and Barbara Kurrin (“Thomas’s daughter”). He died ante 11 December 1840 in Grayson Co, VA. He married Eva Rickenpaugh. More will be discussed shortly.
- Jakob Dölp, born 31 August 1754 and baptized 22 September 1754 at Upper Milford Township, Northampton Co, PA[33]. His sponsors were Johann Jacob Dillinger and Elisabet Mechlin. He died ante October 1796 in Lincoln Co, NC. He married Catharine —-. More will also be discussed on him shortly.
The Delps are mentioned only sporadically in the 1760s in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. At the time of Isaac Delp’s death in 1760, he owned 157 acres of land in Upper Milford Township (at that time). In an unrecorded deed, the land was purchased by Christian Zeller (later Zellner) from the Delp heirs; Christian died on this property in 1820, leaving four sons and four daughters[34]. One of his daughters, Sarah Zellner, married Peter Reichenbach; this is an interesting connection, since we know that Peter Delp of Grayson County, Virginia, married one Eva Reichenbach (or Rickenpaugh), though her own ancestry is still being studied.
Additionally, there is the aforesaid lull in recorded activity of the Upper Milford congregation in Upper Milford Township during the 1760s. However, in 1766, on the “eleventh Sunday after Trinity,” Isaac’s son Peter Dölp was admitted into communion at the church[35]. After this point, we have little information to find on Peter Dölp, but this is not where the research ends. From here, we can use the second piece of advice, which is to incorporate cluster genealogy: how can any associated families with this congregation help out the research on the Delps? It turns out, following the Hittel family is an important key. Prior to 1758, Peter Hittel and his wife Elisabeth Margarethe were also congregants of the church at Dillingersville, along with Isaac Dölp. The earliest baptism for Peter Hittel’s children at that church was in 1748, when their son Nicholas Hittel was baptized; they did, however, have elder children. Additionally, Michael Flores, Peter Hittle, Henry Wilhelm, and Isaac Dalef, all residents of Upper Milford Township, were naturalized on 8 April 1755; Dalef would be a corruption of Delp or Dolp. Peter Hittel died at Upper Milford Township, where he was buried on 7 January 1764.
Hittel’s daughter, Sophia Margaret Hittel, is of interest in this research because of her marriage into the Schuler/Shuler family. She was the wife of Michael Shuler, who soon removed to Rowan County, North Carolina, by the early 1770s. Michael Shuler remained in Rowan County, in that part of the county that was taxed as Captain Lopp’s district in 1778, and which was later separated into the newly-created Davidson County, North Carolina, in the early 1820s. He wrote his last will and testament on 14 July 1812, while it was still Rowan County, but it was probated in Davidson County in February 1830[36]. His wife Sophia was still alive at the time of his will in 1812, while also identifying his son Peter Shular [sic] as his executor. His “surviving” children are also recognized but they were not named directly; they were only to receive all of his estate after the death of his widow. Peter Shuler, however, never took up executorship of the estate, apparently refusing to serve or qualify; it should be noted, however, the will was probated in February 1830, but Daniel Shuler entered into an administrator’s bond on the estate of his father on 9 November 1829, therefore, it appears the heirs may not have known a will was actually executed. The administration was taken up by another son, Daniel Shuler, who returned the final accounts of the estate on 24 February 1832. His computations showed a balance of $349.37 on the estate, which was divided among the following heirs (not in equal shares, however), in following order: Peter Shuler, Adam Shuler, Abraham Shuler, John Delph, Michael Shuler, John Riddle, and Daniel Shuler[37]. Identifying John Delph as one of the heirs entitled out of this settlement brings part of this research around to Peter Delp, who was the father of John Delp(h). John Delp had married Eve Shuler, daughter of Michael Shuler and Sophia Hittel, thus linking the Delps, Shulers, and Hittels.
The Peter Delp born on 29 January 1752 in Upper Milford Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, is very much the Peter Delp who eventually found his way to Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in 1776, removed to Rowan County, North Carolina, in 1777, and was in Grayson County, Virginia, by 1793. However, if we need one more piece of evidence to fully ensure this research finding is accurate, we can visit Peter Delp’s brother, Jacob Delp. I had longer surmised in an earlier article that one Jacob Delph of Rowan County, North Carolina, and later of Lincoln County, North Carolina[38], was a close relative of Peter Delp because of the rarity of the surname in North Carolina during the 1700s, plus a similar geographic residency. This relationship is now confirmed. Jacob Delp’s estate records in Lincoln County proves he had a widow, Catharine. However, we can link this relationship to Pennsylvania. On 14 January 1783[39], Jacob Delb purchased 22 acres and 30 perches of land in Upper Milford Township from Henry Reiss and wife Mary. It is not understood why Delp purchased the land because on 23 January 1783[40], Jacob Delb and wife Catharine of Upper Milford Township sold this same tract of land unto Matthew Gerhard (signed Matthass Gerhardt), a weaver of Upper Milford Township. This deed, however, confirms the migration points from Pennsylvania to North Carolina, and thus ties in our relationships of Jacob Delp to Peter Delp.
As a conclusion of this research, we can now conclude that Peter Delp of Grayson County, Virginia, was born 29 January 1752 in Upper Milford Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, the son of Isaac Leopoldus Dölp and Maria Magdalena Frutsch. From 1776, we can carry on his story where he is found in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and Rowan County shortly thereafter.
This research can also further connect the dots to Wilhelm Delph, the earliest ancestor of the Delp/Delph family for many branches of the family in Hesse, Germany. Isaac Leopoldus Dölp is the same man who was baptized 24 August 1711 at Eberstadt, Hesse, the son of Jacob Delp (as proven by his 1735 marriage to Magdalena Frutsch). However, from here, the research gets a bit fuzzy. Isaac Delp was born in and married in Eberstadt, thus suggesting a continuous residency in between 1711 and 1735. This likely means that Jacob Delp, his father, also remained in Eberstadt, thus he is likely not the Jacob Delp born in 1688 at Nieder Modau (a village now within the town of Modau, several miles to the east-southeast of Eberstadt), the son of Wilhelm Delp and Anna Koch of Webern, Hesse.
There is one Jacob Delp baptized on 13 April 1688 at Eberstadt, Hesse[41], the son of Peter Delp and wife Barbara, and based off the continuity at Eberstadt, this appears to be the best candidate for Jacob’s ancestry. Peter Delp was born 19 February 1654 at Klein-Bieberau in Hessen, the son of Wilhelm Delp and Maria Bossler. Peter removed at a later date to Eberstadt, since his birth is also recorded in the kirchenbuchen at Eberstadt[42], where he married Maria Barbara Maul. It is Peter’s father, Wilhelm Delp, who is the common ancestor of the Delps of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
