The day after the 4th of July, we set our video camera on time-lapse to capture the hummingbirds who were taking in sweet nectar from the hummingbird feeder outside our living room window, Thursday morning.



HOHL/ WARWICK Ancestry

While doing some genealogy research on Ancestry.com we found a story concerning our 5th Great Grandfather, Peter Thomas Hohl (1706-1776). But we will get to that later down the page.

Peter Thomas HOHL/HULL was born in Desloch, Worms, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. In 1741 he immigrated to the New World and settling around Crabbottom, Augusta, Virginia. Peter married Susannah Margaretha Dieffenbacher, 25 November 1750, in the Trinity Lutheran Church, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Peter and Susannah's children were: Catherine, Margaret, Peter Jr., Adam (our 4th great grandfather, born 1754 in Augusta, Virginia; married Esther Keister (1767-1825), died Jun 1836, in Pendleton County, Virginia), George Sr., Jacob, Phebe Anistasia.

My HOHL/HULL ancestors married into the Warwick family. Adam & Esther HOHL/HULL had a daughter Esther (1804-1853), who married Robert Craig Warwick (1801-1845). Robert Craig Warwick & Esther HOHL/HULL had a son William Fechtig Warwick (1822-1902), who married Phebe Anthea Pray (1833-1905). Wm Fechtig & Phebe Anthea Pray Warwick were our 2nd great grandparents. And that leads us to our great grandfather, John Robert Warwick (1857-1937), who married Signora Belle Gwin. John & Signora's childred were Constance Estella, Robert Lee and Wilbur (died in infancy).

Story of Peter Hull/Hohl

In 1753, part of the tract on the Shenandoah River, purchased by Peter HOHL/HULL in 1752, was delivered to a Nicholas TROUT on 3 January 1753. Nicholas TROUT was a friend and neighbor of Peter HOHL/HULL. Not long after this land transaction between HOHL/HULL and TROUT, they were (as it is told) having a friendly conversation, during which TROUT playfully pulled a gun from HULL's hand, pulling the muzzle toward him.

According to witnesses and court records, the gun accidentally discharged, instantly killing TROUT. An inquest was held, and Peter HOHL/HULL (an influential person in the settlement) was found blameless. The gun was found guilty.

From the Original Petitions and Papers filed in Augusta County Court - 1753-54, Part I, we find the following: "Inquisition on the body of Nicholas TROUT, 17 July 1753. Jurors do say that the said Nicholas TROUT, in simplicity, without malice, playing with Peter HOHL/HULL and seizing a gun in said HULL's hands and pulling its' muzzle towards him 'she' accidentally went off without any act or knowledge of the said HULL and discharged herself with a ball and two great shots into ye breast of said TROUT, of which he died immediately on ye spot, and quit ye gun wherewith ye same was done was entirely in fault for not keeping her bounds, but going off without force or consent." In teste: Peter SCHOLL, Coroner; John STEVENSON, Ledwick FRANCISCO, John MacMICHEL, James BRUSTER, Thomas WATS, Thomas CRAWFORD, Patrick MILICAN, John WILSON, Jacob HARMAN, Niclas NOLL, Hennery DALY, Jacob NICHOLAS. - Augusta County, Virginia, Court Records, v.I, p.440.

Since our pioneer ancestors settled in the Valley of Virginia by way of Pennsylvania after immigrating from Germany, we continue our reading of the history of Virginia by learning some history of Pendleton county, on the western side of West Virginia.
