| Notes |
- The book "Pennsylvania Oaths of Allegiance" by Willam Henry Egle(Baltimore Genealogical Publishing Co., 1967) shows Phillip Nagel amongthe "List of Foreigners Imported in the Ship Duke of Wirtenberg. Capt.Montpelier. From Rotterdam (The Netherlands). Qualified Oct. 16, 1751."From evidence found in the Maryland State Archives of a later date (about1795) Philip Daniel Nagel was about 12 years old when enteringPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania on October 16, 1751.
Wachenheim is in the wine country of Germany and is located west of thetown of Worms. Worms is just north and slightly west of Mannheim andHeidelberg, and south and west of Frankfurt.
Philip Daniel, his mother, and two sisters probably came to Union Mills,MD because Philips uncle (Johan Jacob Bankert, 18 years younger thanPhilip's mother) was here. His mother received a land grant (BC & GS5-149, Frederick Co., Md. January 29, 1756) for a 25 acre tract she named"Plilip's Delight". The land grant was issued to Anna Maria Neolin(Naglin being the feminine spelling of Nagel).
On May 26, 1760 Philip and Maria Margareta Benckertin, "Joh. Jac.Benckert's legitimate still single daughter", were the sponsors for thebaptism of Maria Margareta Schett, daughter of Wilhelm and Anna Schett.The baptism took place at Zion Church "The German Church", in Manchester,Baltimore County (now Carroll), Maryland. This church is about 10 or 12miles East and South of Union Mills.
On November 18, 1761 Philip Daniel Nail purchased 25 acres of land("Phillips Delight") on Bondleys/Bentleys Branch, a drought of Great PipeCreek, Frederick County, Maryland, for 5 pounds from Anna Maria Naile aspinster. He is listed as a weaver in the document. (Liber G, Folio 281- Microfilm CR37,504)
The 1790 census shows 2 males (including head of families) 16 and older,3 males under 16, and 4 females.
The 1800 census shows Philip as Daniel, Sr. with 1 male under 10, 1 male16 to 26, 1 male 45 and over (he would have been about 61), 2 females 10to 16, 1 female 16 to 26 and 1 female 45 and over.
The only specific record that could be found concerning Phillip's andMargaret's ages is in the Chancery Court Records, B-30, pp 469-485, atAnnapolis, Maryland, where Philip's age on November 28, 1795 is mentionedas being about 56. Therefore, he was probably born about 1739 inGermany. Philip died shortly before November 5, 1804, at his home atUnion Mills. Margaret continued to live on the original homestead withher son Daniel until she died about 1820.
Documentation of the nine children can be found in Philip's will, LiberH.S. 2, Folio 239.
In the Taneytown & Piney Creek 100, District 6 part of Carolina, 1798 taxassessment, Philip is shown as having 255 acres and a log house. Asearch of deeds shows that on March 12, 1799 Philip purchased land which,with his other holdings, gave him a total of just over 274 acres ofland. In Philip's will he mentions one horse, five cows, his house, asaw mill and land. He also states that he satisfied four sons in landprior to making his will. On March 19, 1803 Philip sold Frederick 54.25acres, Jacob 10.75 acres, and Daniel 64 acres. On September 10, 1803Philip sold Christopher the 25 acres that were the original homestead"Philip's Delight".
A summary of Philips will follows:
"Whereas I have fully Satisfied my four Sons, Jacob, Daniel, Frederick &Christophel in Land & have taken Bonds for what their Land is worth morethan their shares I therefore hereby Declare that it is my will thatneither of them Shall have any further share of my Estate either Real orPersonal.
