      ; from John Shipman Hendricks jshendricks@earthlink.net:
[quote] The explanation and proofs for the name change from Batdorf to Potter is contained in an E- Mail message the Compiler [John Shipman Hendricks jshendricks@earthlink.net] received from Mary Kelley mkelley@cio.net , a descendant, on 21 July 1997. It reads as follows: "Having accepted my Potters were actually Batdorfs, I learned how people with German names and German accents found their names changing because of the accent and the lack of education in the county clerks' offices, military clerks, census takers, etc. In Augusta County and Rockbridge County, Virginia, the prevalent stock was Scots, so, quite naturally, English and Scottish spellings appear. Mueller becomes Miller. Rieth becomes Reid. Shaup becomes Sharp. I have tracked from Batdorf through some unbelievable spellings. In the German sound, especially to unlettered English ears, B & P are indistinguishable. So, eventually, Batdorf, pronounced something like Bottoroff, became "Potterf". Below are excerpts cut from my personal notes. Also, Philip's will is in Rockbridge County, Virginia. . . most identification comes from Marriage Bonds. Birth: Philip, s/o Herm. and Cath. Elis. Batorf, b. 23 Jan 1757, bp 2 Feb 1757, Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchsburg, Berks Co., Pennsylvania; Sponsors, Christian Batdorf and wife (Eva Regina Karsnitz). "Records of Poastoral Acts at Christ Luteran Church", Part I, Translated and Edited by Frederick S. Weiser. Birth: His identity is irrefutably stated in the will of his maternal grandfather, Caspar Reith, B-204, 1 Feb 1791, Rockbridge County, Virginia. Philip (with his brothers, Michael, David and John Casper) are named as sons of Hermanus Batdorf, dec'd. and his 2nd wife, Catharine Elizabeth Reith, daughter of Casper Reith, then wife of George Gall. Further Identification: Quit Claim - Rockbridge County, Virginia Deed Book B 1788 - 1793, page 204 Battorff to Reids: "To all People to whom these these presents shall or way consum David Battorff, Philip Battorff and Casper Battorff of Rockbridge County and State of Virginia, yoeman, they the said David Battorff, Philip Battorff and Casper Battorff being three of the grand children of Casper Read, late of Fulpharism Township in the County of Berks and State of Pennsylvania yoeman, deceased.

     BIRTH     3 Nov 1795, Pennsylvania, USA
     DEATH     7 Jan 1876 (aged 80), Perry County, Ohio, USA
     Dau of Johan Jacob & Anna Maria (Rieth) Fidler
     From the Somerset Press Friday, January 14, 1876: Mrs. Eve F. Klingler, wife of Adam Klingler (whose death was summoned last week), died near Somerset, O., on the evening of the 7th inst, aged 80 years, 1 month and 2 days.
     She said, when she took leave of her husbands body, that their separation would be but short, and it was but of one week's duration. Their bodies now slumber side by side in the old church yard, and their spirits, no doubt, are united in the home they sought together, through their Divine Master in the Father's house above. Mother Klingler, as well as her husband, was a devoted member of the Reformed Church, and through her long life she let her "light shine" by exemplifying her profession by a beautiful Christian life. Her funeral services were conducted by her pastor, C.W.Hayman, on Sunday, the 9th inst., in the presence of a large number of friends and acquaintances.
