John Rudolph Waymire:

Reference number: 1317
The immigrant ancestor of the Waymire family.
Following from "John Rudolph Waymire and The First Three Generations of His Descendants as Known March 1, 1925" by William M. Reser, M. D.
John Rudolph Waymire was born in Hanover, Germany about the year 1725. He was tall, erect and of great physical strength. After having served his term of military service as required in those days, he was retained by the king as an officer in his body guard. Six feet six inches in height and two hundred and twenty-five pounds in weight was the minimum physical requirement to become a member of this unit.
The king being impressed by his executive ability and undaunted courage, soon made him governor of a province that had recently been acquired through conquest. Ere long, he aroused the displeasure of the king by refusing to execute a mandate which he considered unjust. For this insubordination he was thrown into prison for thirty days. Upon release he openly voiced his displeasure of the punishment bestowed and vowed he would leave the country. The king hearing of this had him again placed in prison for a like period of time. This did not dispel his anger but taught him to be more cautious of his speech. So he quietly made his plans to go to America.
In the summer of 1753, he, with his wife and two children, his father and mother and two sister, took passage at Hamburg on the ship Leathley. After a long and perilous journey of several weeks, during which the mother died and was buried at sea, the party landed at Philadelphia September 19, 1753. In the Pennsylvania archives is the Ship List of the Leathley for this trip in which appears the name "Johan Ludolph Weymeyer" signed by himself in a very legible hand. The spelling of the name plainly shows that it had not as yet been anglicized. In the same list appears the name "Voltine Weymeyer" signed by himself. Probably this was the father, although tradition has always stated his name was John. He may have had a double name, John Valentine. The women and children on that boat were not listed; to us a very regrettable omission, because if they had been we would have learned their given names.
Upon landing in Philadelphia, the sisters were separated from the other members of the family and never afterwards were seen or heard of.
John Rudolph with his family, including the father, settled somewhere in the rural districts of Pennsylvania, to us not known, where the father died in 1757. That same year the family moved to what is now Randolph County, North Carolina and settled on the Uwharie River. At that time Guilford County included, among other lands the territory within the present boundaries of Randolph County. Here he resided the remainder of his days; and it was here on one of the clay hills of the old North State that his remains were laid to rest.
His death occurred in 1801, some time between July 26th and Nove 1st. We thus, fix the time by fact
that his will was written July 26, 1801 and probated at the first of the November tern in court of the same year.
He was twice married. Unverified tradition states his first, German wife's name was Lough. She bore him eight children; the first one being a boy, all the others girls. His second wife, according to tradition, was Miss Elizabeth Louck. But his will states "my beloved wife Molly". She may have been named Mary Elizabeth. She bore him seven children, all boys; making a total of fifteen children, all of whom grew to manhood and womanhood, married and had families.
It is conservatively estimated that up to the present time Rudolph Waymire has had more than thirty thousand descendants.
These people, mainly farmers, were not altogether pleased with the agricultural conditions of North Carolina. The river valleys were very furtile, but narrow and subject to disastrous floods at the time of freshets; the rest of the land was rock infested, clayey hills, mostly impossible to cultivate and non productive. There again, this state permitted the institution of slavery, and, as most of these people were Quakers, it was galling to their natures to constantly witness around them the workings of this iniquitous, barbarous system.
Because of these conditions and environments they had for some time contemplated migrating to the new lands in the northwest. Immediately after the death of the father the children began the exodus from the old North State and by 1808 had all migrated to Ohio, settling at first in Warren, Montgomery and Miami Counties. Some remained here while others soon migrated farther west and scattered in different directions until, today, his descendants are found throughtout al parts of the United States and Canada.

From Louise E.Vaughn "Waggoner-Yount Odyssey - From NC &SC & Points West. Gateway Pr 1982.
A complete record of the Yount Family was published in the Sunday Journal, Dayton, OH October 2, 1934.
The key to the genealogy of the North Carolina Younts is an early tax list covering an area corresponding roughly to present-day Randolph County, NC. Some years ago the late William D. Kissiah, while serving as Register of Deeds for Rowan County, NC, located serveral early tax lists, including this one, and had them transcribed. The transcriptions are now filed in the Register of Deeds' office at Salisbury, NC. In 1972 Quaker records, of George Yount, Jr.s family only son John transferred Quaker membership following the move to OHio.
