The following article is curtesy of Kate Langston Foster. It is an article on early German settlers like our Glueck's. "Allemaengel"
The early German settlers in Pennsylvania were the descendants of the Western District of Germany, known as "Allemagne" or "Allemaine" - an old name for Germany. It included part of what was later Switzerland and Lyrol (Swabia) together with that of the Lower Rhenish Palatinate and Alsace, along the French border. The territory in the northern limits of Berk Co. (now Albany Township) and Lynn Township in Lehign County was designated "Allemaengel" meaning destitute; with great sacrifice or more freely "all wants". The early Germans were known as colonial Germans. They spoke the language of the fatherland. The next generation brought forth men of another type. They were cut off from the fellowship of the fatherland, and no longer had preachers and teachers who spoke the German language. They were hemmed in by a strange language and had severe language problems in communicating. Perhaps this is the cause of so many variations in the spelling of the same names. Everyone wrote it just as it sounded to him. The Pennsylavania Germans were charged by some historians as being opposed to education, stagnant in religion, and aloof from social movement. Many of the returning Revolutionary soldiers, after the excitement of a soldiers life, lost their desire for steady work and did not feel like farming or working at a bench or anvil and also had become habituated to strong drink. Nevertheless, they, as a whole were sober and moral people and did establish a church and also a school. And one of the first was "Allemaengel" Church. And new homes, free from persecution were, at last, found in Pennsylvania.

He had an estate probated Soldier in War of 1812, Rowan County, 3rd Regiment. Through farming he aquired large land holdings on both sides of the Yadkin River as well as farms away from the river, aprox. 5000 acres in all.

Other Lines

On Grandpa Odell's side:
Odell's Fathers side:

Foster line represents Odell's Fathers Fathers line.

Owens/Caudle is Odell's Fathers Mothers line (Caudle is her Father). I haven't found much on the Caudles. I did however find bunches on Odell's Fathers Mothers Mothers line (Owens). So even if you are suppose to do the male lines once you get that far back I had to do this one since I had found so much. Hence they are combined. But you see what I mean about getting confusing? LOL

Odell's Mothers side:

Zimmerman is Odell's Mothers Fathers Line. I could call this Zimmerman/Shutt as well. Because the mother of this line (Odell's Mother's Mother) was a Shutt but I haven't found much on her yet so again, I just included what I did have on this one.

On Grandma Ruby's side:
Ruby's Fathers side:

Langston is Ruby's Fathers Fathers line. I haven't found a thing on Rubys Fathers Mothers yet. I'd welcome any help on this one!
