    1. 8. Charles HETZER  Descendancy chart to this point was born in 1828 in Williamsport, Washington, Maryland, USA; and died.

  4. 6.  George HETZERGeorge HETZER Descendancy chart to this point (2.Johann2, 1.Johannes1) was born about 1791 in Pennsylvania or Maryland; died after 1870 in of Olive Twp., Meigs, OH, USA.

    Notes:

    The 1850-1870 census gives his birthplace as Pennsylvania. In the U.S. Army, Register of Enlistments, 1798-1914, he gives his birthplace as Maryland. He is highly likely to be a sibling or cousin of Philip Hetzer as he lived in the same places as him and is 3 years older. There were very few Hetzers in America at the time.

    He served in the War of 1812. He was a Sergent in Capt. Samuel Lane's Co., location unstated. Captain Samuel Lane gathered a militia in Sheperdstown, WV just over the border from the southwest corner of Maryland. His likely brother, Philip was also in the War of 1812. George had his first daughter in Maryland in 1825. By 1829, he lived in Olive Twp., Meigs Co., Ohio when his 2nd daughter was born.

    Family/Spouse: Matilda GILMAN. Matilda and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  5. 7.  Phillip HETZERPhillip HETZER Descendancy chart to this point (2.Johann2, 1.Johannes1) was born on 6 Feb 1794 in Germany Twp., , PA, USA; died on 19 May 1870 in Reedsville, Meigs, OH, USA; was buried in Hetzer Cemetery, Reedsville, Meigs, OH, USA.

    Notes:

    He served in the War of 1812. His widow was named Sarah in his pension application. He served in Capt. Thomas Quandale's Co. in Maryland.

    In the 1820 census, he and his wife lived in Wood Co., Virginia (now Wood Co., WV) where they were married. Their info in this census is as follows: Name: Phillip Hetzer Home in 1820 (City, County, State):Wood, Virginia Enumeration Date:August 7, 1820 Free White Persons - Males - Under 10:1 Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44:1 Free White Persons - Females - 16 thru 25:1 Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44:1 Number of Persons - Engaged in Agriculture:1 Free White Persons - Under 16:1 Free White Persons - Over 25:2 Total Free White Persons:4 Total All Persons - White, Slaves, Colored, Other:4

    The female who was age 16 -25 in this record would have been Sarah, his wife. The older female living with them could have been his mother, her mother or a sister of either.

    The rest of their children were born in Ohio starting in 1821. They lived most of their married lives in the Reedsville, Ohio area. Their home was still standing beautifully restored in 1982 on the Ohio River before entering Reedsville and owned by an unrelated Dye family at the time. It sadly burned to the ground in 1992. General Morgan slept in a 2nd floor bedroom for one night a day after his defeat and at the beginning of his retreat. It sustained much damage at that point in time also. The newspaper article that included that information stated that Philip came to Ohio from Maryland, According to Philip's will dated Mar. 17, 1869, he owned land in Reedsville plus eight acres at Belleville in Wood Co., Ohio. His property was worth $3000.00 in the 1850 census which was a substantial amount for the times. It was approximately 10 times that of his neighbors.

    He is possibly the Philip Hetzer in the 1820 census for Wood Co., WV. The census info had been transcribed for that county and was not in neighbor order. The columns were not described. He had at least 2 family members at the time and possibly 2 slaves. In the 1830 census for Olive Twp., Meigs Co., Ohio, they had 3 sons under age 5, 2 between age 5 and 10, 1 between ages 10-15, and he was between the age of 30-50. His wife was between 20 and under age 30. In the 1840 census for Olive Twp., Meigs Co, Ohio, they had a son between ages 5 and 10, two between 10-15, 3 between 15 and 20 and 1 between 20 and 30. He was between the age of 40 and 50. He had a daughter between 5 and 10 and his wie was between 40 and 50. In the 1850 census, there is a Mary or Marg Spencer, age 60, born Germany, living with them. This could be a sister of either of them. It's also possible she was a hired hand.

    I have found no good first hand support for this Philip's parentage though I've listed the most common belief other than elimination of the only Hetzer whose son he could be in the early American records. If his parents lived in America by 1790, they would be one of the few Hetzer's in the U.S. in the census. There are only 2 Hetzers or Yetzers that appear in these records at the time.

    1. Name:Adam Hetzer Residence Year:1786 Residence Place:Dover, York, Pennsylvania, USA (Septennial Census)

    Adam's name was actually George Adam. He had 1 son and 5 daughters with a wife in the 1790 census. George Adam had a daughter in Pennsylvania in 1774 baptismal records meaning that George Adam was at least born before 1759. His wife was Dorthea. He is Dover, York, Pennsylvania through the 1807 Septennial Census records and disappears after this point in time. He had first appeared there as an adult in the tax records in 1779. His son appears to have been named John. John shows up as an adult in the 1807 Dover, York, PA census.

    2. Name:Philip Hetzer Residence Year:1786 Residence Place:York, York, Pennsylvania, USA (Septennial Census)

    His ancestors could be:
