| Notes |
- Michael Lutsinger - Michael Lutsinger arrived in Philadelphia, PA, on September 9, 1738, aboard the ship "Glasgow" from Rotterdam, Germany, via Cowes, England. He was age 29 at the time and was one of 120 men along with 229 women and children who sailed together from Europe to America (they were called Palatines because they came from the region of Germany called the Rheinland Palatinate). On this same date, he and the other male adults were qualified and took oaths to the Government at the Courthouse in Philadelphia. This infomation may be found in "Pennsylvania German Pioneers", pages 204-208. According to "Colonial Soldiers of the South, 1732-1774" by Murtie June Clark, page 96, Michael Letsinger was in Captain John White's Company, Maryland Militia, for six days service, about 1758. In an issue of the Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. 9, article titled "French and Indian War", page 267, Michael Letsinger is reported to have received 48 0..6..0 pounds for his service during the French and Indian War. In "Monocacy and Catoctin", C. E. Schildknecht, editor, page 261, Michael Lutzinger is mentioned for giving a bill of sale in 1759 to George Poe for 3 horses, 7 cattle, and one iron pot; this transaction apparently occurred in Middletown Valley, which is located west of Frederick, MD. This information originated from Frederick County, MD land records, specifically Land Record F. >From this last item, Michael Lutzinger is listed in the "Genealogical Index to Frederick County, MD", Vol. 3, page 89. Finally, in the "1783 Tax List for Baltimore County, Maryland, Baltimore East Hundred", page 10 of a transcribed version, the name Michael Litzinger appears, along with Henry Litzinger and Peter Letzinger. Since Michael Lutsinger was born in 1709, I believe this Michael may have been either the eldest son of Phillip, below, or a member of the Baltimore area Litsinger families. (from John Shinpaugh)
