Notes; We are indebted to Steven Wachter who diligently created the text file of Wesley Noah Wachter's type-written genealogy document.  Steven's effort was, I am sure,  difficult because he was working from a "four or fifth generation" copy of the difficult to read original document.  We do not know where the original document is, but copies of the document are available at the Frederick, Maryland Historical Society.

 

There are several omissions and errors in W. N. Wachter's genealogy account.  But given the year he produced the document, during which there were few genealogy records, and the ability to travel to search for supporting records was limited, he did a remarkable job.  We are grateful for his efforts, and we are sure he would be pleased to know that his work is a valuable reference and that his interest in genealogy has come though the ages to his present relatives.

 

Other genealogy narratives in this genealogy record will point out the errors and omissions; we hope that we do not introduce any additional errors into this shared genealogy record.

 

 

                                      Genealogy of the Wachter Clan

                                        Complied by W. N. Wachter

 

 

          There has been quite a number of names of Wachter come to America.  I will give the names of them that I have found.  Michael Wachter; George and Jacob Wachter, landed in America Sept. 25, 1749.  Gabriel Wachter, Sept. 25, 1751; Conrad Wachter, Oct. 6, 1767; George Wachter, Nov. 10, 1767; Hans George Wachter, Oct. 23, 1752; Christopher Wachter, Nov. 19, 1753 and Augustus E. Wachter 1855.

          I have found others who spell their names different as Waechter, Waghter, Wacker, Wuchter, and Ein Wachter.

 

           The name Wachter in the German means A Sentinel or a Watchman.

 

                             ____________________________

 

Of the Wachter, Reese and Easterday Families I have complied during the years 1907, 1908 and 1909.

           A suggestion was made by Lewis F. Wachter at Frederick, Md. in Sept. 1905 that a record of the Wachter family would be a desirable thing to have.  I then gathered the names of some of the heads of families and began to arrange for the genealogy.

          On Sept. 2, 1907 at Frederick, Md. I began together records and to compile a genealogy of the Wachter family, Wilerick Reese, Easterday, Blessing and the Schindler Families of Frederick, Co. Md.

          The difficulties encountered in such a task can only be realized to those who have made a like effort.   I have examined many works of history and County records, searched through at least fifty thousand names carefully for traces of these families, records of cemeteries visited, records gathered wherever possible and aid received from many relatives and fiends, for all of which I am truly grateful.

          Having spent many months and wakeful nights in an endeavor to

 


 

                                                                      2

 get, compile and arrange in families as fully complete and truthful a record of the original family heads as possible, namely of Michael, Samuel, Jacob and Phillip Wachter, sons of George Wachter of Wurtemberg, Germany, George Wachter and Jacob Wachter, brothers, and as I believe Michael Wachter their father, came from Wurtemberg, Germany in the vessel "Speedwell" commanded by Captain James Creagh, they landed in America at Philadelphia, Penn., Sept. 25, 1749.

          All trace of Jacob Wachter and his father are unknown to me, as all efforts to trace them have failed thus far.

          George Wachter remained in the vicinity of Philadelphia, Pa., for some years, records show that he was in Upper Hanover Township Phil., Pa., in 1769 and in York, Co., Pa., in 1772, and in Cumberland Co., Pa., in 1777 to 1782, after this we find him located in Frederick Co. Md. in 1783.

          George Wachter had nine children; names and dates of births will be found on pages 12-16 of this book.  Four of his children - Michael, Samuel, Jacob and Phillip can definitely accounted for whose family records are given in this book.  Errors doubtless will be found in names and dates, because of different records given, as well as omissions caused from lack of information urgently sought but  not obtained.

 

          The Wachter family were of German decent, of all the different families of that name in the country.

          Religiously, nearly all were and are members of some branch of the Christian Church, mostly Lutherans, some Methodist, some Reformed and other churches.

          The Wachters have always been recognized as quiet, industrious, morally and upright citizens, none were known to have been violators of the civil laws.

          In occupation they were mostly successful farmers, three were ministers of the gospel, a number were merchants, some school teachers, some were mechanics, carpenters and builders, very few ever held any civil office or known as politicians.

          Hopeing that what has been gathered may be useful and appreciated by the present and future generations.  I submit this work in love and respect for the Wachter name.

                                                                   W. N. Wachter, Compiler.

 

          To the above has been added the family of my Mother viz, the Reese family, Johan Jost Reese came from the Palitinatenate Germany, in the vessel "Two Brothers" Thomas Arnott Captain.  He landed in America at  Phil., Pa., Oct. 13, 1747.

          His son John Adam Reese located in Frederick, Co., Md. in 1770, 1775 near Bethel Lutheran Church, about five miles north of  Frederick, Md.  See record on another page of this book.

          Also a record of my wife's family viz the Easterday family, Christian Easterday and his father and brother came to America from Wurtemberg, Germany and landed at Phil., Pa., Sept. 13, 1749, on the vessel "Christian" Thomas Brady, Captain.  Record on another page of this book.

          Also the record of the Schindler family of Frederick, Co., Record in this book.

         

          Also record in part of the Blessing family.  Record in this book.

         

          I ask for a liberal consideration of my difficulty and arduous labours, and for the records of all families named; they are hereby submitted in love and a desire to benefit the present and future generations of all families named.

          I am grateful to the All Wise Providence , whose guiding hand has directed me in the arduous and difficult task, and for health of body and mind to enable me to gather and compile this genealogy, of the respective families named.
