The Germanna Colony [View all]

One of my father's maternal lines included several members of the Germanna Colony in and around Culpeper, Virginia. My ex-husband had some too. Anyone else have Germanna Colony ancestors? Many of them were Revolutionary War soldiers, which would qualify one for the DAR/SAR.

There were two migrations: 1714 and 1717. The first was voluntary, the second batch were indentured servants. Mine came in the second migration. Many eventually removed to northern Kentucky and southern Indiana, but there are still many distant cousins in Virginia. Some related names in my own family: Wilhoit, Blankenbaker, Gaar, Clore.
