Floyd,

Absolutely fabulous that you can trace yourself to Frederick Newton Dinkle. Would love to add your line to my database. Not a whole lot of us researching this family and every clue is helpful.

My question:

A Peter Dinkle married Nancy Magett August 15, 1833 in Rockingham County.

A Peter Dinkle married Jennett Huston July 30, 1840 in Rockingham County.

Is this the same Peter Dinkle who married twice?

Pretty sure your line goes like this:

You're going to have to read the following carefully, ESPECIALLY the errata:

The Annals of the Families of Caspar, Henry, Baltzer and George Spengler

Author: Edward W. Spangler
Call Number: R929.2 qS747

Bibliographic Information: Spangler, Edward W. The Annals of the families of Caspar, Henry, Baltzer
and George Spengler. York, Pennsylvania: The York Daily Publishing Co., 1896.

Margaret Salome was the daughter of Johann Daniel D]ckel (Dinkel) a nobleman of Strasburg,
Germany, and Maria Ursula his wife. The latter's father was also a nobleman, Peter Von Ernest Von
Colmar. In a German Hymn Book (edition of 1733) of Maria Ursula, lately in possession of her
great-grand-daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Shearer, of York, (who recently, 1895, died, aged 85 years), is
the following inscription: "Maria Ursula D]cklerin, Geboren Gornussin Von Colmar: geboren 1713,
den 2 April." (Maria Ursula D]ckel, of noble birth from Colmar, born April 2, 1713. According to
a tradition Maria Ursula's father's name was Peter Von Ernest, and not Gornussin. A very thorough
inspection of the French and German works on Heraldry in Philadelphia and New York Libraries
failed to disclose the name Gornussin. It was probably an affix, and a corruption of "garnichts thun,"
complete idleuess, to deuote aristocratic birth as distinguished from an origin plebeian.

In the German Bible (Ed. 1776) of Rev. David Contler is written the following: "David Contler, born April 28, 1740, in Schlotterdam, on Hackensack River, New Jersey. Married October 30, 1763, Maria Catherina D]kel, daughter of Honorable Johann Daniel D]kel, deceased and Ursula, his wife. My wife was born June 22, 1746, in Alsace, Bruhm, Germany, Europe." Mrs. Contler died March 22, 1831, aged 84 years and 9 months. Both rest in Zion's Lutheran churchyard, York.

The Von Ernest Coat of Arms consists of an anchor in a shield, above it a coat or tunic of armor,
surmounted by a dove with olive branches in its mouth; (Siebmacher's Wappenbuch, in Astor Library,
New York, Vol. 5-1-3, page 4). The D]ckel Coat of Arms represents three heads and sheaves of
wheat on a shield, with a coat of armor above, surmounted by three heads and sheaves of wheat.
(Same book, page 24).

Johann Daniel Dinkel was detained in Germany, and did not accompany his wife and children to
America. He died of a fever in the fatherland soon after their arrival here in 1753 (SEE ERRATA). Peter Dinkel, their only son, (SEE ERRATA NOTES) was fifteen years old when they emigrated from Germany. At his baptism the King and Queen of Prussia were sponsors. The baptismal cloth, a square piece of silk velvet with tassels, used on that occasion, was afterwards used in the baptism of Maria Ursula's grand-children. Her children were: Maria Catherine, wife of Rev. David Contler, Dorothea, wife of Rudolf Spengler, Margaret Salome, wife of Philip Caspar Spengler, Anna Maria, wife of Lieut. Col. Philip Albright, of Revolutionary fame, and Peter Dinkel, a member of the Third Company, Third Battalion, York
County Militia, in the Revolution. Maria Ursula died September 29, 1793, and her remains lie in
Christ Lutheran churchyard, York.

ERRATA:

On page 86, the universally accepted tradition that Johann Daniel Dinkel died in Germany, is
erroneous. He died in York, Pa., 1755. His will, quite recently discovered by the writer, was written,
signed and witnessed in York, dated April 6, 1754, probated November 7, 1755. It showed that he
had six children, including a son, Daniel. Not belonging to the Spangler family, the tradition (that Johann Daniel Dinkel died in Europe) was not verified by the records.
