  • Notes 
    • Henry Aylor was the son of Hans Jacob Öhler, and his wife, Anna Magdalena Schneider. The parents had only two children, Henry and Elizabeth Catherine, who married Christopher Tanner. So all Germanna Aylors descend from Henry Aylor and his unknown wife, Margaret.

      Hans Jacob Öhler was born at Botenheim, the same village where he married Anna Magdalena Schneider. Four known children were born to them there. For one, no further information is known. Another died as a very young child. Two later ones, born in 1718 and 1720, after her parents had emigrated, were Georg Heinrich and Elizabeth Catharina. Henry has a record in Virginia where he married Margaret Käfer (Kaifer), and Elizabeth married Christopher Tanner. Anna Magdalena married John Harnsberger, as his second wife. But there is a dearth of records for Jacob Aylor even to the extent, I believe, that his presence in Virginia is in doubt. (Comments on this point would be welcome.) The children stop after Elizabeth, in 1720, who had been the fourth in eight years.

      We do not know the motivations, beyond what could be a desire to reunite the family, for the Aylors to come to Virginia. It could be that Jacob Aylor died in Germany and Anna Magdalena came with the children to live with her parents. (Please note the speculative nature of these comments.)
