Generation One
1. Lewis Jacob FILLENGER (4300); born circa
1740 in Hanover, Germany.
“Jackob Fillinger, to the best of our
knowledge, was born in Hanover, Germany.
In 1775 he lived in Penna., USA and in 1776 enlisted in the
Revolutionary War under General Green and fought for four years in Va. and
North Carolina.
“At the close of the war he moved with
his family to Rockbridge County, Va and is supposed to have died there. Soon after his sons Henry and Jacob moved to
Montgomery Co., VA near Blacksburg.
From there Henry moved to Logan Co., Va (Now West Virginia), and was
supposed to have taken his father's (Jacob Fillinger) family Bible (German)
with him. When last heard of, through
John Fillinger, his descendents were living just south of Chicago. His brother, Jacob Fillinger, married
Elizabeth Songer and moved near Pearisburg, Va. They had 13 children.
When their son John started west he also went to Logan Co., and took his
father's family Bible (German) with him.
We know nothing of his descendants.”
