was born on 26 May 1738 in Frederick Twp., Montgomery Co., PA. He died on 5 May 1831 in Frederick Co., MD. He was a captain. DAR Patriot Index, page 199. He told his grandson, Judge George W. Dudderar of Unionville, Frederick County, Maryland, that he came there when 20 years of age [being about 1758] having married against his father's wishes, [Conrad Sr.], that he borrowed 50 pounds, English money from one of his father's brothers [probably Michael] to start on. When he first went to Maryland, he spelled his name Dutterer. *Info from 'The Dotters' by Henry S. Dotter. He settled near Unionville, Fred. Co., and was a tanner. He was successful in business and became wealthy. He was a captain in the Rev. war and would not accept any money for his services. When independence was gained, the people of the neighborhood gathered at his large home and held a meeting of rejoicing on his return. The house and farm is now owned by Jesse Nicodemus, a great grandson of the Revolutionary owner and winner of the prize at the 1932 Duddra Reunion at Rocky Ridge. [Mt. Tabor park], Maryland, as the oldest person attending. Near this home in a private burying ground, near Unionville, on a rising piece of ground, is the burial plot of he and his wife, the stones of which speak of his birth, May 1733 and death, May 1831. He made a will June 19, 1816, found printed in full, page 120, H. S. Dotterer family history in which his son, William is named executioner. He was married to Margaret PENNYBAKER (daughter of Jacob PENNYBAKER and Elizabeth KEYSER) in Maryland. Margaret PENNYBAKER was born on 8 Nov 1742 in Pennsylvania. She died on 14 Aug 1797. PENNYPACKER surname derivation from: ' 'Henrich Pennypacker, Surveyor of Lands for the Penns, 1674-1754, Flomborn, Germantown and Skippack' ' by Hon. Samuel W. Pennypacker, LL.D, privately printed, Philadelphia: 1894, pages 11-12. ' ' ... in the neighborhood of the present cities of Gorkum, Heusden and s�Hertogenbosch or Bois-le-duc (Holland), we find the earliest traces of the family Pannebakker. The name means, in the Dutch language, a maker of tiles. Van Heurn says, in his ' 'History of s�Hertogenbosch,' '; published in 1776: ' 'Formerly there was here a thick clay soil which underlay the thin surface. The clay out of it was used for the baking of bricks, tiles, and the making of clay walls,' ' or in the Dutch, which shows the origin of the name, ' 'Hier uit word de leem, tot het bakken van Steenen, pannen, en het maken der leeme wanden gehaald.' ' Some family branches maintain ' '... that the family name originally was BIERMAN, that it was changed to the name of the occupation of their Belgian ancestor who was a tile-maker, which in the language of Holland is PANNENBAKKER.' ' From: Henry S. Dotterer, The Perkiomen Region Past and Present, page 271. A Jacob Pennybaker married Christine Dotterer daughter of Conrad Dotterer. *Info from Paul E. Pennybaker Conrad transferred to his son, John the deed to the property. It is on record, Fred. Co., MD Feb. 7, 1809. John left the property to his nephews as he had no children, J. F. And David Dudderar. |
