In the originalSpotsylvaniaCounty, there were many German families who are studied today as a partof the Germanna Colonies. As a result of migration in the area andredefinedcounty , records of these Germans are more likely to be found inOrange,Culpeper, and Madison Counties. Perhaps as many fifty different Germanfamilies lived in old Spotsylvania County. Even more lived in the areafrom which Spotsylvania was formed but they had moved on to Stafford(ina part which became Prince William and then Fauquier County) beforeSpotsylvaniawas formed. Even after some of the Germans had moved away from the areawhich became Spotsylvania, they continued to transact business at theSpotsylvaniacourt house, perhaps because they had been closely associated with Lt.Gov. Alexander Spotswood. Thus their names appear in the SpotsylvaniaCountyrecords even past they time they lived in the county.

Names of Germans in thecountyrecords include at least: Holtzclaw, Camper (Kemper), Martin, Cobler(Kabler),Spilman, Fishback, Huffman, Cuntz (Coons) Rector, Brumback, Weaver,Hitt,Motz, Harnsberger, Zimmerman, Snyder, Smith, Cook, Kerker, Carpenter,Parlur(Barlow) Broyles/Briles, Yeager, Paulitz, Tanner, Long and Wayland,Amberger,Blankenbaker, Moyer, Cook, Kaifer and Sheible. Nearly all of thesepeoplearrived before Spotsylvania was formed into a county.
