According to a manuscript compiled by Mrs. Elaine McAllister Dellinger, published in 1991, eight DELLINGER brothers came to America. Five returned to Germany; three remained.

The three which remained, Martin, Valentin, and Johannes Philip, were the sons of this DELLINGER.

A fourth DELLINGER, Casper, arrived on the ship 'Edinburgh,' James Russell, commander, from Rotterdam to Philadelphia on the 19 Sep 1752. He was reported to be sick upon arrival. (Pennsylvania Archives, Second Series, Vol. 17, p. 351. ®54

Magnolia was the home of Henry Dellinger prior to the Revolutionary War and afterwards until the town of Lincolnton was founded. This place is situated on the Tuckaseege road six miles from Lincolnton. Before the Revolutionary War, when the
old Tryon courthouse was near Cherryville, a road from Beatty's Ford to the courthouse crossed the Tuckaseege road at Henry's house. Henry's residence stood at the intersection of these two roads, just east of, and between J.B. Smith's present
brick residence and the spring. The Tuckaseege road has since been changed and now runs west of the house. That part of the Beatty's Ford road has been discontinued for many years, but the tracks of both old roads are clearly visible today.

Being a man of large means and living at a public place, Henry kept house for the entertainment of the public. At that time such houses were known as ordinaries, and were licensed by the court. In the court records of the April sessions of
1775, the following was entered: "It is ordered by the court that Henry Dellinger have license to keep ordinary at his now dwelling house in Tryon County, he complying with the Act of Assembly in the case made and provided who proposes for
security John Ritzhaupt and Nicholas Friday." In 1779, Tryon County was divided into Lincoln and Rutherford Counties, the old courthouse falling in Lincoln County, but too far west for the convenience of the public.

The courts were then held for a few years at Nicholas Friday's on the South Fork. They were next held at Henry Dellinger's. At the January sessions of 1781, it was ordered that the jail of said county should be Henry Dellinger's spring house
until the end of the April sessions of 1784. The place dug out of the spring house is visible today. It was a small building, the lower story rock, the upper, logs. In the lower story, the landlord kept his liquors; the upper was used for a
jail. As some of the prisoners escaped from the spring house, during the April sessions of 1784, it was "ordered that the sheriff of said county make use of a room in Henry Dellinger's house to be strengthened for the purpose of a common jail
till the public buildings in said county are completed."

The next term of the court was held at Henry Dellinger's. The Court minutes read as follows: "State of North Carolina. At a county court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions begun and held in and for the said County of Lincoln at Henry Dellinger's
on the first Monday in July, 1784, before Robert Alexander, William Graham, and John Moore, Esqrs." The Courts continued to be held at the Dellinger place until the town of Lincolnton was established. The courts were first held at the
Courthouse in Lincolnton in October 1786.

Henry's second wife, Mrs. Smothers, was reared in the city and wearied of country life. So yielding to her inclinations, he was the first to purchase a lot in the new town of Lincolnton. He owned and occupied the lot on the northwest square,
now known as the Robinson block. Henry is said to have erected the first house built in the new town.

Henry made frequent trips back to Pennsylvania, taking with him a drove of cattle, and bringing in return liquors for his cellar and goods for his store. After the death of his first wife, Hannah Rudisill, he wooed Mrs. Smothers, a widow, then
living in the state of Pennsylvania. According to tradition she was a great lover of coffee. Her objection to marriage and accompanying Henry back home was the fear that she could not get her favorite drink in the wilds of North Carolina.
This the ardent lover quickly overcame by promising her all she wanted, a promise he faithfully kept. Henry's neighbors frequently discussed his expensive bargain, and she filled an untimely grave from the excessive use of coffee.

Henry Dellinger was a Whig and took no part in the Revolutionary War; but his brother, John Dellinger, was a patriot and active soldier throughout the Revolution. John fought at the Battle of Ramsour's Mill.

Henry was a large land owner. In his last days he conveyed much of it to his children. His signature was always made in German. He spent his last days and died at the home of his son-in-law, Peter Mosteller. Mr. Mosteller married Henry's
daughter Mary Dellinger, and lived near the Long Shoals.

Across Hoyle's Creek near the bottom of the hillside are three graves, those of Henry and his two wives. The plain granite stone bore this inscription: "H.D. Dep. this life 15 Feb. 1820 in the 80 of his age." (The above was taken from the
1906 Lincoln Journal by A. Nixon and "Our Kin" by Hoffman.

Wirthenbert also has been spelled Wurthenburg.

Philip Dellinger sailed on the ship "Two Brothers", Thomas Arnt,captain, into the Philadelphia harbor, from Rotterdam, on the 28th of August of 1750.

After arriving in America he moved to Lincoln Co., NC where he is listed on the 1757 tax roll. ®4

==========

The following was written by Mary Dellinger of Crouse, N.C.: "Johannes Philip Dellinger came to America on the ship TWO BROTHERS, which qualified at Philadelphia, Penn. on August 28, 1750. He signed the ship's list "Philip Dellinger". Under
his signature, the ship's clerk has written the name "Henry Dellinger", which I take to be Philip's eldest son.

Philip Dellinger was in the area of present-day Lincoln County, N.C. by 1757. Records in Anson Co., N.C., deed books show that on September 2, 1757, Phillip Fallinger, taylor, is buying 185 acres on Leeper's Creek from Martin Dellinger, being
half of 370 acres which has been granted to the said Martin Dellinger on August 30, 1753. On the same date, Martin Dellinger sold the other half of the 1753 grant of 370 acres, to Jacob Hoil, weaver. On September 2, 1757, Martin Dellinger
sold to Adam Sights, taylor, 200 acres on Leeper's Creek which had been granted to said Martin Dellinger on March 28, 1855. In a deed recorded in Book 4, page 472, Mecklenburg Co., N.C., deed dated January 7, 1769, Philip Tillinger and Mary
his wife are selling land to William Tankersley (probably Mary's brother).

In the Lincoln Co., N.C. Deed Book 2, page 623 and 624 records the following: May 20, 1783, Philip Dellinger, County of Lincoln, State of North Carolina, for love and affection to my son Henry Dellinger, the land on which I now live, 185 acres,
being half of a tract of 370 acres granted to Martin Tillinger August 30, 1753 and conveyed from Martin to the said Philip Dellinger September 3, 1757. Signed "Philip Dellinger" in German.

May 20, 1783, Philip Dellinger for natural love and affection to my son John Dellinger, "me hereunto moving", have given and granted all and singular my goods and chattels: two mares and colts, one still and vessels, 14 head of cattle, sheep,
loom and gears, horse, one wagon and hind gears, one wier sifter, one feather bed and cover, one chaff bed, seven books, one pair of shears, mall rings, one tailors goose, one pr. wool cards, one pr. double trees, one log chain, four augurs,
three scythes, one small anvil, one mattock, one hand saw, pitch fork, two chisels, drawing knife, grindstone, two felling axes, coopers howel, three sides of tanned leather, one hackle, plough and tacking, seven plates, one basin and one pot
and other moveables. Name signed in German "Johann Philip Dellinger".

From the above deeds we can determine the one John Philip Dellinger arrived in America in August 1750, and located on Leeper's Creek in Lincoln Co., N.C. by 1757. He had a wife named Mary (Tankersley), and had two sons, Henry and John. In
addition to his sons, Henry and John, the book "OUR KIN", written by Laben Miles Hoffman in 1915, states that Margaret, the wife of Michael Hoyle, and Mary Magdalene, the wife of Peter Costner, were both daughters of Philip Dellinger. (True).

Sr

Could his name possibly be "Benjamin William" or "William Benjamin" DUGGER? Gene Blair lists him as William (same birth year). Three wives listed: Anna ?; Nancy MILLARD; and Nancy Ann Brown PIERCE. Sequence of wives unknown. Said to have
had 8 children by first wife, 8 by second wife, and 7 by third wife. Lists his source as "George F. Dugger, Sr., Memoirs." ®1

This Benjamin's origin, progeny, siblings, and progenitors are not known, but a matter of conjecture.

Death: 1797, from stone in Howell Cemetery, Vilas, NC (unreliable as its condition and lettering indicate placement possibly a century or more after death). He almost surely had roots in Brunswick County, VA, but there were several
Benjamin's there, and specific family movements have proved impossible to trace with any certainty.

Some sources indicate a Benjamin Sr. and Jr. in Western North Carolina at the same time. Their relationship is uncertain. There was an adult Benjamin doing land business in the early 1800s in Watauga County, who died about 1815. A Benj.
Dugger was on Wilkes Co. tax lists of 1795 and 1797 (1 poll, 450 acres) (Watauga Ancestry, Jun 1991), the census of 1787, and as marriage bondsman in 1791, likely the same one. I have assigned this Benjamin to Julius, Sr. simply for
convenience, not fact.

As generations proceed into William H., information becomes more certain, and data on his progeny is solid.
