- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. I am not yet sure what order this individual and siblings are ordered for birth. Their father, Hans Peter's will, has the following for order except that he lists all the boys before the girls. Order of sons are David, Jacob, John, and Daniel. Order of the daughters are Barbara, Eve, Christiana, Philipenia, and Ann. Donna Shell as cited below orders these siblings as follows [she does not show the eleventh child Michael]:
Eva, b. 1744 at Lancaster Co., PA.
Philipena, b. 1746 at Lancaster Co., PA.
Joseph, 1749 at Lancaster Co., PA.
Ann, 1752 at Lancaster Co., PA.
Christina, 1753 at Lancaster Co., PA.
Daniel, 1755 at Lancaster Co., PA.
David, 1757 at Lancaster Co., PA.
Jacob, 1759 at Lancaster Co., PA(?).
Barbara, 1767 at Frederick Co., MD.
John, b. 11 Sep 1768 at Frederick, MD.
Roy H. Wampler orders them as follows but he does note that his sequence is uncertain.
Eve, b. ca. 1744-46, PA.
Joh. Michael, b. 6 Oct 1747, PA; prob. died bef. 1792 since he is not mentioned in father's will.
Joh. Jacob, b. 1749, PA.
Anna Elisabetha or Ann, b. 28 Oct 1750, PA.
Philiptenia or Phoebe, b. ca. 1751/52, PA.
Barbara.
Joseph.
Christiana [Christina], b. ca 1760/61, PA.

2. The following notes are from 23 Feb 2004 Rootsweb.com Worldconnect database ":480580" by Donna Shell with email dani5322@netzero.net:
a. Paper on "John & Ludwig Wampler, Sons of the Immigrant Christian Wampler (1718-1765), with Notes on William Wampler (1813-1886)" by Roy H. Wampler, dtd. 15 July 1988. (I have a copy.) [Kerry's note: I reviewed this book at FHL in Salt Lake City - FHL book 929.273 W181wr.] b. "Our Grable History," a paper by Joseph H. Piatt. I have a copy. c. 1800 Frederick Co., MD Census Index, p. 972, line 15. d. 1810 Frederick Co., MD Census. Next to Old Peter Grabill.
e. Had a son John Graybill, b. 1795 and d. 1869 in Rockingham Co., VA.
3. The European surname was Wampfler which was anglicized to Wampler after Hans Peter Wampfler's immigration in 1741. All Wamplers today in America are descended from either Hans Peter or his brother Johann Christian who immigrated in 1747. The surname Wampfler in America is from other Wampfler immigrants from the mid-1800's when record keeping was more accurate and authorities were more sensitive to cultural spelling of names.

5. FHL film 1036676 with the book, "Founders of Anne Arundel & Howard Co.s, MD," by J. D. Warfield, 1905, p. 370, has a passing reference to John Wampler concerning the Burgess family of Howard Co. In the will of Alexander Warfield of Frederick co., Alexander bequeaths land he bought of John Wampler to Caleb Burgess. This source does not give a will date nor an exact location of the land, but a location of Frederick co. can be inferred by the context.
BIOGRAPHY:
1. Mentioned as the child Jacob Wampler in Peter Wampler's will signed 8 June, 1792, probated 30 June, 1792; Source: Liber G. M. No. 2, Folio 444, Frederick County, Maryland; see Peter's notes for full transcription. Order of sons' mentions are David, Jacob, John, and Daniel. Order of the daughters are Barbara, Eve, Christiana, Philipenia, and Ann.
2. John mentioned in sister Ann Hartman's will written 7 Dec 1830, probated 11 Apr 1836, Will Book GME2, pp. 155-6; and Admin. Acct., Estate of Ann Hartman, GME 12, p. 307 (1837), Frederick Co., MD.
3. FHL 929.273 book "A Wampler Family History," by Roy H. Wampler, 1999, pp. 50-56:
a. "John Wampler, b. 11 Sep 1768, PA; d. 28 Feb 1845, Rockingham Co., VA, md. Magdalene Garber, b. Dec 1768, d. ca. 1855 (at age 87), Rockingham Co., VA. Magdalene Garber was a dau. of Martin Garber Sr., and his wife Anna Preston of Frederick Co., MD. Recall that Martin Garber Sr. had been named by H. Peter Wampler, John's father, to serve as his executor. One finds John Wampler's name in several Frederick Co. land records between 1802 and 1810, some of which also pertain to Anna Garber, Samuel Garber, Christina Garber, John Garber, Martin Garber Jr., Mary (Garber) Diel (wife of John Diel) - heirs of Martin Garber Sr. In 1811, John and Magdalene Wampler, together with their children, migrated to Rockingham County, Virginia, where they established a homestead two miles south of present-day Timberville. In due course their six sons and five daughters established their own families, and today numerous Wamplers in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia look to John Wampler as their patriarch. He became an active leader and elder in the Dunkard church (later known as Church of Brethren), and some of his descendants were to follow in his footsteps. John Wampler's son-in-law, Elder John Kline, kept a diary in which he noted on 28 Feb 1845 that Father Wampler died at 11:00 a.m. at the age 76 years, 5 months, and 17 days."
b. Issue of 11 children and at least 79 grandchildren:
i. Samuel Wampler, b. Dec 1791, PA; d. 2 Oct 1883, VA; bur. at Wampler Cemetery near Timberville, VA, md. Magdalene Wine, b. 1797, PA, d. 1864, VA; dau. of Michael and Susannah (Miller) Wine. res. Singers Glen. VA. The book details 10 children of this couple.
ii. Mary Wampler, b. 27 Oct 1793, d. 18 Aug 1878, VA, bur. at Weyer's Cave, VA, md. Oct 1813, Daniel Glick, b. 1787, VA, d. 1856, VA, son of John and Elizabeth (Bauserman) Glick, res. New market, VA, Weyers Cave, VA., The book details 7 children of this couple.
iii. John Wampler, b. 10 may 1795, PA, d. 23 Mar 1869, VA, bur. at Wampler Cemetery near Timberville, BA, md.

iv. Anna Wampler, b. 9 Sep 1796, PA; d. 4 May 1885, VA, bur. at Linville Creek Cemetery, Broadway, VA, md. 1818, John Kline, b. 17 Jun 1797, Dauphin Co., PA, d. 15 Jun 1864, Rockingham Co., VA, son of John and Mary (Hershey) Kline, Res. Rockingham Co., VA. had 1 child who died in infancy (1819). John Kline was an elder in the Church of the Brethren. Like most Brethren, he was vigorously opposed to slavery and to military service. Consequently, he had great difficulty with the political and military authorities. He was distrusted because he seemed willing to render medical aid to both sides in the Civil War. In 1862 he was imprisoned for nearly two weeks near Harrisonburg. No specific charges were placed, but he was suspected of being a Union sympathizer. As the war continued, distrust of Brethren like Kline increased, and in June 1864, he was ambushed, shot and killed near his home.
v. Susannah Wampler, b. 15 Dec 1798, PA; d. 11 Aug 1878, MO; bur. Mar 1819, Joseph Glick, b. 1799, VA; d. 1863, Holt Co., MO; son of John and Elizabeth (Bauserman) Glick. Res. New Market, VA; from 1857 on, Mound City, MO. The book details 10 children of this couple.
vi. David Wampler, b. 16 Mar 1801, MD; d. 4 Jun 1878, VA; bur. at Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Rockingham Co., VA, md. 1825, Rockingham Co., VA, Anna Long b. 1807; d. 1881; dau. of Isaac Long Sr. and Barbara (Miller) Long. Res. Weyers Cave, Augusta Co., VA. The book details 7 children of this couple.

The typhoid epidemic of 1835 claimed the lives of both Samuel and Elizabeth Driver who were survived by three children. Guardians for these children were appointed by the court in Aug. 1835. The book details 4 children of this couple with a note that the list might be incomplete.
