Ludwig Geldmacher (Moneymaker) lived in Rockbridge Co., VA. No one thatI know of has been able to trace him back to Germany or Switzerland, and it is thought that he fought in the Revolutionary war but as to whether he was a mercinary or not has not been discovered. He was married to Dolly Bumgardner (1779?). He died in 1812. One of his sons, William, walked to East Tennessee after the death of his father.He married Mary (Polly) Heath in Knoxville, TN in 1824.
