Due to much confusion by the "English" in North Carolina many German and Dutch names were misspelled in early records. My family's name was Throneburg/Tranberg/Dranberg and they are oftentimes confused with Froneberg/Fronabarger because they lived near each other.
I know the "English" oftentimes confused the Dutch and German pronounciation of V with F as well as T and D, and B and P. Has anyone researching the Vanderberg family in North Carolina found that Froneberg/Fronabarger may have derived from Vanderberg? I know that the John Fronabarger family was Dutch and spoke Dutch as their language in Southern Lincoln County (Gaston eventually), North Carolina. It appears that John and William Fronebarger of 1790 Lincoln County came from Cabarrus County, N.C. where the Vanderberg's came from.
I am trying to sort out who is a Fronebarger and a Throneburg in Lincoln County in the late 1700's and early 1800's. After 1815 I have no problem in sorting them out.
Most Fronabargers left and went to Alabama slowly after 1820. The Throneburgs stayed in N.C. and also went to TN. and Indiana.
Can any Vanderberg researcher help with this?
