(Georg "George" was my wife's ancestor. Yes, he lived to be 109 years old!)
Here is the story of the Hempleman's. Adam and Georg"s father was "Herr Von de Burg der Schloss Hesse" (Lord of the Hesse Castle) in the Hessen district of Germany near Frankfort.
Georg, had he stayed in Germany, would have taken the title of his father. George fell in love with Margarette Duffy, but as she was a peasant, he could not marry her in Germany. They eloped and decided to leave Germany for America. George's brother Adam came with them.
Adam, George and Margarette landed in Richmond, Virginia in 1752. Adam, who had enough money to pay his trip, soon moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. George and Margarette served as indentured servants for four years to pay for their passage. George was sold to a cotton planter in the Carolinas, and Margarette to a tobacco planter near Richmond, Virginia. They re-met at the Old St. John's Episcopal Church in Richmond where they were finally married in 1756. (This was the same church where Patrick Henry would later give his famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech.) George and Margarette moved to Philadelphia (near Adam) and lived there until around 1780 when they moved to Sunbury, Pennsylvania on the Susquehanna River.
In 1781 George enlisted as a private in Capt. William Johnson's company, 10th Battalion, Lancaster County, PA militia and fought in the Revolutionary War.
When the war ended George and Margarette moved several different places in Virginia and North Carolina. She died in Virginia in 1805 and George moved to Clark Co., Ohio in 1811 where he bought a 342 acre farm and became a weaver.
Adam moved west to Maysville, KY around 1786, where he married Elizabeth. In 1795 they bought a farm near West Union in Adams Co., OH Territory and became one of the first settlers of that area.
Adam and George for many years never heard from each other. By chance one of Adam's neighbors was traveling north and stopped with George Hempleman Jr., George's son, overnight in Clark Co., OH He remarked that there was a man in Adams County by the same name of Hempleman that resembled him very much. After talking, they figured out that the man was George Jr's uncle Adam. Later George Sr., in the company of his son George Jr, traveled to Adams County and was re-united with his brother.
Apparently, Maria was the only one of Adam's descendants that came to Illinois. The rest remained in Ohio and Indiana. Some of George's descendants came to southern Illinois and one, a Daniel Hempleman, lived here in Clinton (in central Illinois) around 1900.
My wife is related to them when Elizabeth Hempleman (George Jr's daughter) married Samuel Briggs in Clark Co. Ohio. Their daughter Mary Ann married Martin Carr, whose son John moved to White Co. Indiana around 1865. John's daugher Dora married James Benjamin Albertson and they moved to Brownstown, Fayette Co. Illinois around 1904. James and Dora's youngest daughter Arminta was my wife's grandmother.
