Pfau is German for "peacock"
Jacob Pfautz of Germany Twp, York (now Adams) Co, PA immigrant of 1730. Rohrbach is near the town of Sinsheim which is about 20 miles southeast of Heidelberg
The list of children of Jacob Plautz, however, due to a six year span in their ages, there may be others;, also Magdalena may have been a second wife.
Jacob, his wife and children, Anna Margareta and Michael, arrived in Pennsylvania September 18, 1727 on the ship "William and Sarah" from Rotterdam prior to when the Ship Lists & Oaths were established, and are known to have settled in Skippack, a German village about 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Jacob remained in the Skippack area, Frederick Twp., Philadelphia (now Montgomery Co.) and on 29 October 1734, he took out a Survey Warrant for 150 acres on the southwest side of Perkiomen Creek, bounded by Wyatt Tul, Gerard Zin and Christian Stinebough. On 7 March 1738 the tract was surveyed.
(Philadelphia Co., "New Returns, 1734-1758, Warrants & Surveys of the Province of Pennsylvania including 3 lower Counties 1758, Vo. 9:55 & 56)
While living on Perkiomen Creek, Jacob and his family were joined by a young lad David Pfautz, Immigrant of 1738. David's name has gone through many and varied changes in the records that remain. On the Passenger List 61A of the Ship Davy, William Patten, Master., from Amsterdam, in October 1738. his name was recorded as Theevia (?) Fautzen "doubtful name". (Strassburger & Hinke, Vol. II, p. 255). The name appears on the "list of men" certified to the number 94. The name was not included on the second list (61B) where the men age 16 or older signed the Oath of Allegiance, thus was 15 or younger (born c1723). He was not accompanied by another male Pfautz. Theevia, being aural English spelling of German pronounced German name, can be translated phonetically as "Thebehd", which is recognized as "Theobald". From there he was nicknamed "Dewald", and finally "David", (National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol 63, Dec 1975, pp. 253-
In 1741 Jacob and family, accompanied by David, moved from the Skippack area to Germany Twp., Lancaster (later York) Co., PA about one hundred miles in a southwesterly direction near the Marland border.
Several years had passed since Jacob took out his warrant and had his land surveyed, but he did not follow through on the procedures required for Patent. On 21 April 1741 all his rights under the Philadelphia County Warrant were forfeited and his tract was patented to Jacob Free. (Philadelphia Co., "New Returns, 1734-1758")
Undoubtedly Jacob had made his plans well in advance. Prior to 21 April, when he relinquished his rights to his farm on Pekiomen Creek, he had moved his family over 100 miles in a southwesterly direction and settled along the Pennsylvania-Maryland border, near Hanover, in Lancaster (later York) Co., PA. It is reasonable to believe that young Michael and David had Journey to the new area seeking land and Jacob, perhaps dissatisfied with his hill farm, was ready for a change. From later records they were living in Lancaster (later York) Co., prior to 1 March 1741, perhaps in 1740.
The 226 acre farm, in Germany Twp., that Jacob selected was on the Pennsylvania/Maryland border joining the property lines of Peter Cline (in Pennsylvania), John Yengling (in Maryland) and George Stevenson, a surveyor. The area on the border then hotly contested by the two governments, is now located in Adams County, PA. They could be called "squatters" because Jacob lived on the land about 10 years before he took out a Pennsylvania Survey Warrant. Meanwhile, Jacob went about improving his frontier farm.
Jacob took communion at the Conewago Lutheran Church (later St. Matthew's Lutheran Church) near Hanover, on 2 October 1743, and received a certificate for doing so. He appeared before a Maryland Provincial Court to present the certificate and took the required Oath of Loyalty and Abjuration. On 18 October 1743 the Provincial Court of Maryland issued an order of naturalization to Jacob Fauz, making him an English subject. (Jeffrey and Florence L. Wyand, "Colonial Maryland Naturalizations", Baltimore Genealogy Publishing Company, 1975, p. 15, item 6.)
Jacob appeared in the Lutheran and Reformed records in the area from 1741-1751, always with wife Anna Magdalena. His last appearance was on 12 June 1751 when he and Magdalena were sponsors at the baptism of their grandchild, Andrew, son of Michael and Catherina Pfautz.
On 10 September 1750, describing himself as Jacob Fauts of York County, he took out a Pennsylvania Survey Warrant adjoining Peter Cline (in Pennsylvania), John Yengling (in Maryland), and George Stevenson, including his improvement in Germany Twp. The Warrant provided that he was to pay interest on the purchase price of the land and arrearages in quit rents back to 1 March 1741-2. In 1755 the land was surveyed for 226 acres and a return was made to the Lord Proprietors" Land Office. (York Co., Warrant No 4, 10 Sept. 1750, Pa. Land Office: also, Pennsylvania Patents", AA, 6:509-510. Pennsylvania Land Office.
Jacob Pfautz took no part in the governmental affairs of York Co., PA., or Frederick Co., MD. He sat on no juries, served in no elected capacities. He did, however, serve a term as a Road Overseer. His only court appearance was on 17 January 1756 when he appeared before the York County Orphans Court and joined Francis Bardt to qualify as executors of the estate of Martin Bardt, dec'd (York Co., PA., Will Book A:128). It has been noted in other parts of the Colonies that the inability of the Germans to speak and understand the English language was a barrier to both civil duty and military service - just simply being unable to communicate.
In 1762 a very unusual set of circumstances, that could hardly be called coincidental, took place. Within 2 months time, Jacob Pfatuz, his son Michael, kinsman David and son-in-law Andrew Hoover sold all their lands in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
It is recorded that on 2 July 1762 - Jacob Pfautz of Germany Twp., York Co., PA., deeded to Jacob Feezer, of the same place, both farmers, 226 acres in Germany Twp., bounded by John Yengling, George Stevenson and Peter Little (Cline) being a grant to the said Pfautz from the Lord Proprietors Land Office dated September 1750.../s/Jacob Pfauts. (no wife signs) Wit: Bernard Bardt & Peter Bardt. (York Co. Deed Book A:568)
Possibly Jacob's wife Anna Magdalena, had died in Hanover Twp., York County, prior to 1762 (Now Adams Co., PA.)
The Cherokee War was finally over in Western North Carolina by mid-summer 1761 and the land agents of Henry McCullogh were only waiting that event in order to move their clients to the Uwharrie. By late 1762 and early 1763 they were deeding lands to settlers.
Most of Jacob's family, with the known exception of one daughter, Catherine Eckert, was heading for North Carolina in the company with other interrelated German families.
On 17 February 1763, all of the following obtained McCulloh deeds on the waters of the Uwharrie in Rowan Co, NC (Deed Book 5)
David Fouts, 292 acres (p. 332)
David Fouts, Jr, (son of David Sr.) 230 acres (p 335)
Michael Fouts, 260 acres (p. 335)
Jacob Fouts, 200 acres (p. 334)
Andrew Hoover, 213 acres (p.342) & 200 acres (p. 483)
Adam Varner, 289 acres (Michael's brother-in-law) p. 415)
Also many others from the York Co., PA. area.
Why would Jacob Pfautz, now a widower in his early 60's have sold out unless he intended to accompany them? A word of explanation is necessary - Jacob Fouts who made the deed for 200 acres
in Rowan Co., was the 16 year old son of Theobald (David, Sr.). In 1807 when Jacob sold the tract he said in the Deed that he "had taken title fro Henry Eustace McCulloh", (Randolph County Deeds, Book 21)
Jacob's deed in 1762 was his last appearance in the York County (now Adams) records and he did not purchase land in Rowan County, NC. He died after 1762, however, no probate has been found in either place, or in Frederick County, MD.
Spanish American War veterans are encountered in Michael;'s line in the seventh generation. World War II veterans likewise in the eight, ninth and tenth.

From Audrey Woodruff's book "5 Generations"
Jacob was closely related to (A) Hans Michael Pfautz whose records have been proven. The relationship has not been established, but whatever it was, the connection was in Germany. (A) Hans Michael, after a brief stay, settled in Strasburg Twp., Lancaster Co., PA., with his family. Perhaps an uncle showing concern for a nephew, or he could have been a cousin, once removed. From the very beginning Jacob's oldest son Michael and David became fast friends. The young men purchased adjoining property on he same day, witnessed one another's deeds and followed the same migration trails. It would be impossible to tell the story of Michael, and exclude the roll that David played in his life.
It was sometimes many years before a church building was established in a frontier community, and the only church records were the Journals and Diaries of the traveling ministers. The Rev. John Casper Stover, a Lutheran minister, recorded in 1730 the baptism of Ludwig Pfautz at Skippack, and identified Jacob Pfautz, the father, as "am de Bergfarmen - of the hill settlement". (Church records and Minutes for the Evangelical Lutheran Congregation Beginning in 1730", compiled by John Caspar Stover, Microcopies of the "original" German and English translation, Lancaster County Historical Society.)
It is believed that Ludwig died young, and there may be other children missing within the six years between Ludwig's birth and the two older children; or the possibility that Jacob's wife had died and Magdalena was his second wife. Two additional children were born in the Skippack area between 1730-1740.
Jacob possibly died in Rowan County, NC

Michael Anglicized name to Fouts when he obtained land at Pipe Creek, Prince Georges County, MD in 1744.
Michael was the oldest son of Jacob but undoubtedly was given the double name of Jacob Michael Fouts. There was no Jacob Fouts, or any other male Fouts in the Germany Twp. area, with a wife named Caterana that is unaccounted for. Michael and young John Adam Varner migrated to Rowan County, NC in 1762-3 and signed documents for for one another. There is no question in the membership of the Fouts Association that Michael's wife is any other than Catharana Varner. The Verner's are reported to be Mennonite
Michael crossed the Atlantic while a babe in arms, along with his father, mother and older sister, Anna Margaretha. Their arrival in America took place prior to September 1727 at which time the first Ship Lists and Oaths were established. They settled on a hillside farm in or near the small German village of Skippack, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) Co., about 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia, where they remained for the next fourteen years.
When Michael was about 14 years of age a second relative from Germany arrived at Philadelphia and joined his family, Theevia (Theobald/Dewald/David), of about the same age, arrived on the Ship "Davy" in1738, and came directly to Skippack. The relationship is unknown, but most likely the two boys were Cousins once removed, and became inseparable friends for the remainder of their lives.
Michael and Catherine lived on Little Pipe Creek Waters, Frederick (now Carroll), MD 1744-1762, moved to Uwharrie Waters in Rowan, NC in 1763.
The actual date of death is missing and he was not probated in either Randolph, NC or Montgomery, OH
TAX: Randolph Co., NC on William Millikan's list of persons who had not taken the Oath of Allegiance.
LAND: 260 acres, 17 Feb 1763, North Carolina Land Grants, 19:445-449.
REV WAR: pay voucher from state of NC dated 20 March 1782, original in NC Archives.
In 1800, Michael, Sr, was apparently living with son John and grandson Michael, Jr., to sell off all of the lands they owned, individually and jointly, in North Carolina. It was Michael, Sr's last appearance in public records. He may have remained in Randolph Co, with son Andrew or have gone north with John (Jacob moved north in 1801). He was not probated in NC or OH.

Considering that this family had been promoted as a "Quaker" family since Lindsey Brien (Dayton, OH) found some association with the Presidential Hoover line in the early 1930s, it is easy to understand why they could not be found in Quaker records.
Michael at 20 years old was ready to strike out on his own, in the company of his kinsman, David (Theobald) Pfautz. Both took out land on Pipe Creek waters along the Maryland border, not far from Hanover. On August 1744, Michael obtained his first Land Survey Warrant - following quoted in full - Prince Geo County ss
"By virtue of a Warrant Granted out of his Lordships Land Office of this Province unto l Michael Fouts of Prince Georges County for Fifty acres of Land bearing date by Renewment the 29th day of August Anno Domini 1745, I therefore certify as Deputy Surveyor of Prince Georges County under his Excelle Thomas Bladen Esqr Governor of Maryland I have carefully laid out for & in the said County called "Michaels Fancy", beginning at three bounded White Oak Trees standing on ye East Side of Hans's Branch, being a draft of little Pipe Creek & running thence North Fifty Four Deg West Fourteen Per, then North Fifty Six Deg East Per, then North Eighty one Deg East Sixty Per, then South Forty Five Deg East One Hundred and Four Per, then by a strait line to ye beginning Trees, Containing and now laid out for Fifty Acres of Land, to be held of Calverton or Minorcocee Mannor, Surveyd this 30 day of August Anno Domini 1745. Cfme Thos Cresap Dty Survr of prince Georges County." There follows a drawing of the tract, in the Shape of closed half circle, and a tabular key identifying the sides of the tract.)
From: Prince Georges Co. (Md.) Patented Certificates, #1452.
(In Abstract)
Michael Fouts, Patent for 50 Acres, called "Michael's Fancy" - August 30, 1745 - Thomas Bladen, Esqr., Lieutenant General and Chief Governor of Province of Maryland, to Michael Fouts, of Prince Georges County in Province of Maryland, 50 acres called "Michael's Fancy" laid out according to Certificate of Survey bearing date of August 30, 1745, and returned to the Land Office, said lands being in his Lordship's Manor of Calverton or Minorcocee. From: Marland Patents, Pt#2, pp. 291-292
With his 50 acre homestead firmly established, Michael was ready for a wife, and the following year, about spring of 1746, he married Catherine Varner, daughter of Adam Varner of Germany Twp., Lancaster (later York) Co., PA. Michael stayed on his land about 5 years, during which time the land was placed within the bounds of Frederick Co., MD

(In Abstract)
Frederick Co., MD, Deeds, B-25
27 March 1749 - Michael Fouts, of Frederick Co., farmer, to Valentine Mire, of same place, weaver, for 624, plantation of 50 acres called "Michael's Fancy," on Hance's branch of Little Pipe Creek..../s/ Michael Fautz (In Semi-Dutch), Wit: David Phautz, Peter Meyer (Both in Dutch). Michael's wife Catherine relinquishes Dower interest. Recorded 20 April 1749.
Having sold his property, he was granted a Warrant for 91 acres, bearing the date 20 July 1749, called "Clear Meadow", lying on the Great Bear Branch, a draught of Pipe Creek...There follows a drawing of the survey in the general shape of a tomahawk with a fat handle. (Frederick Co., MD, Patented Certificate #866)
Michael has lived on his second farm about five years when on 28 August 1754, he sold to Henry Cassell, both of Frederick Co., 91 acres called "Clear Meadow"...Michael's wife Catherine relinquishes Dower interest. (Frederick Co., Deeds E:527).
Michael's third farm, located on Pipe Creek in Frederick (now Carroll) Co., MD, was Surveyed on 20 February 1761. The 55 acres was first settled and named "Carolina" by Andrew Stiger who had apparently sold or abandoned his claim on the property. Michael's Certificate was issued on 12 Dec 1762. (Hall of Records, Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD.
Soon thereafter, word reached York County that the Cherokee War was over in Western NC and that the waters of the Uwharrie (Rowan Co) was open for settlers. The Pfautz families wasted no time in preparing for this move and in the summer of 1762, as of one mind, Michael, his father Jacob, his kinsman David and brother-in-law Andrew Hoover, sold all of their holdings in Maryland and Pennsylvania within two months time. (Have previously cited Jacob's Deed of 2 July 1762. (York Co, Book A:568).
(In Abstract) 4 June 1762 Michael Pfautz of Frederick Co., MD., assigned his interest in a tract of 55 acres, called "Carolina" located on Great Pipe Creek, to Gasper Rowland. Wife Catherine relinquishes Dower interest. (Frederick Co., Deeds, 4 June 1762). Note that the deed reads "assigned his interest". By the time that the Patent was issued, 11 December 1762, Michael was either in North Carolina or on his way there.
Michael and David in their prime, along with other interrelated families of Hoover, Mast, Waymire, and Yount, traveled a wilderness road for a distance of about 400 miles as the crow flies. It was the second time when these faithful companions set forth on a journey in search of a better homeland. At this time Michael and is wife, Catherine (Varner), were the parent of 7 children - John 16, Catherine 14, Andrew 12, Elizabeth 10, Susanna 8, Magdalena 4 and Jacob about 18 months.
On 17 February 1763 the following obtained Henry McCulloh Deeds on the Waters of Uwharrie in Rowan Co., NC. Note the English spelling of the name. (Deed Book 5; pages 332-415)
David Fouts - 292 acres (lands were
David Fouts (Jr.) -230 acres consolidated)
Jacob Fouts - 200 acres (16 year old son of David Sr.)
John Fouts - 200 acres
Michael Fouts - 260 acres
John Barnhart - 200 acres
Andrew Hoover - 275 acres (bro-in-law of Michael)
John Mast - 233 acres
William Merrill - 245 acres
Jacob Schwartz - 200 acres
Sunbright Heltzell - 200 acres
Adam Varner - 289 acres (bro-in-law of Michael Fouts)
22 Feb 1763 Andrew Hoover bought an additional 289 acres.
This is the earliest Uwharrie Dutch Settlement with the exception of William Merrill. The Uwharrie until 1771 were located in Rowan Co. In 1771, they, in most part, were taken within the newly erected Guilford Co. In 1779, the southern portion of Guilford, wherein they resided, was included in the newly formed Randolph County.
Dr. Davenport secured an area Map Maker who, from the deeds, plotted the land of the early Fouts on the Uwharrie. He secured over 3,000 land entries or deeds (property bought or sold) of the early Fouts and related families, covering Rowan, Davidson, Guilford and Randolph Counties. There are over 300 who are related, in some manner, to Michael and his son Andrew. Sufficient to say, Michael, Sr. owned land on the Uwharrie at the junction of the Rich Fork and North Fork and along both sides of North Fork.
Of interest - Guilford Co. Land Entry No. 1632, made 7 May 1779, by James Allen is described as "a tract or parcel of land containing 100 acres lying in between Michael Fouts' Mill and Harmon's improvement"...Inasmuch as the Fouts Mill does not appear in Randolph County records, we can assume that it was not a public mill, but was used privately. That it was a grist mill is evidence by the designation of "John Fouts, miller" in 1792 (Michael's oldest son). If it was a saw mill, he would have a a "sawyer", and if a Filling mill, he would have been a "fuller"
A transcription of the original "Rowan Co., NC, Tax Lists 1768-1769" contains the names of the Fouts, along with some of the families who had intermarried. These persons were:

Stutsman, Jacob
Waymire, Rudolph, son Frederick
Fouts, David (Jr.)
Fouts, David (Sr.) sons Andrew & John
Fouts, Jacob
(Last three translated as "Yonts" but definitely "Fouts")
Within Michael, Sr.'s own family there was a great diversion of faiths. Michael and his wife, Catherine, were both "Dutch Friends", otherwise know as Mennonites. His son John's progeny were largely identified with the Dunkers (Church of the Brethren); daughter Catherine's religious persuasion unknown, but her husband Lawrence Younce, was identified with the Dunkers; Andrew was a Baptist; Elizabeth Yount was a Dunker; and Esther Yount was Dunker.
At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, in 1775, each Poll was expected to take the Oath of Allegiance to the State of North Carolina, serve in the Militia, agree to bear arms, and pay taxes for the support of the war effort. The German's with few exceptions took the stance of "Pacifists" and refused
to take the Oath, etc. As a result they lost their Civil Rights, which included purchasing land, until the end of the war when they were restored in 1787. Michael and his children, with the exception of Andrew who married into the very patriotic Merrill family , were pacifists. During the 12 year interim many of the Germans lost, or were literally pushed off, their lands. It was not a happy place for the non-conformists -- the Mennonites, Dunkers, Quakers and Moravians.
When the Uwharrie Dutch, with large families, needed more acreage, they were forced to seek out lands in the mountainous country of Wilkes-Ashe Counties, NC in the 1780's; in Kentucky in the 1790's and in the Northwest Territory (Ohio) in the late 1790's and early 1800's.
Old David appears to have been the leader of the Uwharried German community, for he was appointed "overseer of the Trading Road, from the Painted Springs east across the Uwharrie to Caraway Creek", by the Rowan County Court in 1768 (Rowan County, NC Court of Pleas & Quarter Session Minutes, 2:17). He was the only German to be so recognized before 1771.
Bro. George Soelle, the Moravian Missionary from Old Salem made 12 visits (46 days) on the Uwharrie and recorded in his Diary that he "never got south of Michael Fouts' place." He held his first meeting at Dewald (David) Fouts, Sr.'s place on 18 November, he wrote in his Diary -- "This is a unique species of people. They appear to me like Aesop's crow which inflated itself with other birds' feathers. They have Moravian, Quaker, Separatists, Dunker principles, know everything and know nothing, look down on others, belong to no one, and spurn others. Just one soul inspired some hope in me, with whom I was also able to converse, namely, Dewald's wife, whose frivolity is getting to be a burden to her and often oppresses her. (This could be his second wife). She, also was the only one there who asked me to visit more frequently when I should return to that region. . . This Dewald has a lot of children who have been bline since birth." (David, Jr.'s children)...Old David Fouts was a hardheaded German according to Soelle who wrote that he "met stubborn resistance when I tried to enlighten him". Soelle stayed at David's one night when he "lost his way to Hoover's and had to turn back at Michael Fouts". On another occasion he wrote, "I often experience among such folks what Soloman says, "A fool ofter asks more questions than a wise man can answer". In general, he thought the Uwharried Germans a "course lot".
Other families remained on the Uwharrie for a brief time, picking up the few parcels of available land. Sample deeds -
9 Dec 1793 - Land entry by Michael Fouts, Sr., Entry No. 312 Grant No. 1684 (dated 18 Dec 1801) 50 acres lying on waters of Uwharried adjoining Juduthan Harper & Ledford. Chain carriers on Survey: Andrew Fouts & Michael Fouts, Jr. (NC Grants 114:56)
In the fall of 1803, Michael, Sr. joined with his son John (the miller) and grandson, Michael, Jr., to sell off all of the lands they owned, individually and jointly, in NC. Father, son and grandson had so mixed-up their lands on the Uwharrie that it was impossible to make sense out of their individual Land Registers. However, when all three are put together in terms of what land they obtained and what land they deeded away, that account balances withing three acres. It was Michael, Sr.'s last appearance in Public records. It is believed that Michael, Sr., died in 1803, or soon thereafter, in Randolph Co., NC.. Likewise, it is possible that he went with his oldest son John and grandson, Michael, Jr. to German Twp., Montgomery Co., Ohio, where they made their Entries in the summer of 1804.

Anna arrived in PA with parents and brother, Michael. Settled in Skippack, PA a German village about 20 mile northwest of Philadelphia.
The degree of relationship between Margaret Hoover (as she is known in family annals) and Theobald, Sr is unknown, but likely cousins of a near degree. They were approximately the same age, both being born c1722-23 in Germany
Anna is the immigrant ancestress of President Herbert C. Hoover.


Andrew , Sr. Hoover:

Born Monday 29 January 1722, Ellerstad, Durkheim Dist., Rhenish Palatinate, Germany
Died ABT August 1783, , Randolph CO, NC USA
Reference number: 1343
Andrew and Anna Margaretha were the immigrant ancestors of President Herbert Clarke Hoover line via their son John.
Andrew arrived in Philadelphia 9 September 1738 on Two Sisters
In 1746 they moved to Carroll CO, MD and in 1750 bought a farm on Big Pipe Creek near Uniontown. Most of the 13 children were born here. All moved to NC about 1774. Source is One branch of the Hoover Family.
Considering all the erroneous Quaker claims associated with the Hoovers (Andrew, Jr. was a baptized Separate Baptist in Caraway Creek, Gilford County; on 6 April 1772 (Soelle's Diary.) The family was a mixture of Baptist, Dunkers, Quakers and Methodists. Margaret hosted several Quaker evangelists after Andrew's death in 1781, but is not in any Quaker records extant, and a minority of their children were Quakers), it is not surprising that a large amount of fallacious "Quaker genealogy" had to be refuted in order to show both the Hoovers and the Fouts in Randolph Co., NC, in their true religious millieus. The family was a mixture of Baptist, Dunkers, Quakers and Methodists.
The Hoover's lived on Little Pipe Creek Waters, Frederick (now Carroll) Co., MD 1745-1762. They moved to the Uwharrie waters in NC in 1763. The Hoover Plantation was in Rowan Co., 1763-1771; Guilford Co., 1771-1779 and Randolph Co. Became member of the Separatist Baptist Church in Caraway Creek, Gilford County on 6 April 1772 (Soelle's Diary).

This family was composed of hard-nosed frontiersmen, and had none of the religious reservations of their Mennonite, Dunker, and Quaker cousins of North Carolina. Andrew shifted from Lutheranism to Anglicanism in Virginia (a not uncommon practice--a number of German ministers did it; after all King George III, as the Elector of Hanover as well as the King of England, was the ruling prince of the German Lutherans as well as the English Episopalians, a fact that most historians have largely overlooked).
