Lunenburg-
Marriage, 26 Oct 1756-John Leonard Hirtle & Anna Barbara "Dressler"
(An error either by recording clergyman or a
copyist. Actually she was Anna Barbara
Metzger, as the registry of 30-Acre Lots
(below) shows) (Roll II) [But see note below: PBH]
Indian Patrol 1758- Leonard Hartling, private

Kings Bergh, No. 8 "1/2 each". Leonhard
Hirtle also "30 Acres more or less...

[Kingsburg Nå 11] and Rose Bay". Also:-
Oak Land No. 23 "Rosina Metzger, dead. Her
daugher, Anna Barbara married John Leonard
Hirtle"

Lutheran Church- Leonhard Hirtle- signed Membership Roll 1775;
appears in church account book, 1783-85
[Apparently the head of family's payment of Lutheran Church dues
covered the whole family, so perhaps, until 1783, Jacob's dues were held to cover his
brothers & their wives & children- also, perhaps, their father: Michael, then an old
widower, probably lived with one of his sons]
