Bavarian Palatine region of Germany, Euberthal can also be spelled Eusserthal.

Dear Tex,
I found Johann's birth record of 8-Dec-1740 soon, and after a lot of additional searching one of his sisters, Anna in Feb.1745. Among her godmothers is an aunt, and her grandfather Friedrich Riedweil is noted also as citizen of Freckenfeld. I copied these 2 records, and I will try to deciper them, and to translate what I can read. I checked up to 1750, but I did not find more RIEDWEILs (except maybe one as godmother). Before 1738, there seems to be no hope in that archive. Regards - Georg

Marion,
Let me say we are quite pleased with the work you have done and the time
frame that you did it in. I know it could be quite a while before you receive this message or can make a reply to it. If I don't write it now I will forget about it. That is why I am writing it now so that I will not forget. I need some helpm understanding the time frame in the below record in your report were it says << ii. Johann Ludwig BAECHLER, born 5 Nov 1730 (witness was Johann Ludwig RIEDWEYL, a weaver, son of the deceased Friedrich RIEDWEYL) >> Marion I thought our Friedrich RIEDWEYL and father of Ludwig RIEDWEYL, a weaver died 23 Jan 1753 per the records sent us by Gary & Dr. Fisher. This is why I ask about the remarks in the brackets on the notes you sent us. Is this information a part of the source record of that time frame or is it just a reminder of yours as to who it refers to etc. ? Tex-

Subject: Re: the castle?
Dear Tex,
thank you for your email again. I think I could look for some of the dates which you mentioned in the 1730-1750 time frame, and to get record photocopies in the archive for these. I will have to make my picture myself, and better print out all what you sent me, but I cannot do this here in Frankfurt. Regarding the castle: "Russ" would be a very strange German christian name. If he was knightened, they would have any form of title in their name, "von", "zu" "Graf", "Baron" or the like. They underwrote with quite an ordinary signature, so I doubt that for Friedrich's line. I doubt that you can find a castle of your anchestors. At that time, they were rather well known, with their owning families. BTW, in German there is only "Friedrich". Frederick, Frederic are the English and French versions thereof.
It is reported in a book that a census was done 27th May 1709 at Walworth England of the Palatine population lately from Germany and in England at that time. This is what is given:" Frederick Ritweil, age 32, wife , son age 2, Lutheran; and Jacob Ritweil, age 22, single, Lutheran. They are listed as Husbandmen & Vinedressers. "

Okay, these names could fit, but not the time: 1709 ? That would mean that the Grandfather Friedrich left Germany long before his grandson Johann Ludwig was born ? Georg what does that last part in the above mean ?
I would say: the were married vine growers.
So long - Georg

Notes:

Apparently Ludwig Riedweil Sr. and Barbara Bchler had four children before they came to America: FHC film #247602
1 Johann Michael Riedweil chr. GR 22 Mar 1733
2 Johann Riedweil born GR 1 May 1737
3 Johann Ludwig Riedweil born GR 4 Dec 1740
4 Anna Margretha Riedweil born GR 18 Feb 1745
5 Jacob was born in America Oct. 1751
6 John was born in America abt 1756
The John B. 1756 is sometimes confused with the above metioned Johann B. 1737. Our best guess is that Johnannes B. 1737 either stayed in Germany or died before or during the trip to America.
the christening record of Maria Dorothea Grimm, daughter of Jacob and Magdalena Grimm in May 1729, it lists Johann Ludwig Riedweyl as an apprentice weaver, single, and son of Friedrich Riedweyl (Doc. #6). Also in christening record of his second child Johannes, Ludwig Sr. is listed as a yarn weaver, Doc.# 3 but elsewhere, as just a weaver.

=======================================
I cannot translate "Ehel:" properly without my dictionary,
it means that they were born by a marriaed couple.
The faint cross over the record would indicate that somebody else noted later that the child died (soon?), that occurs rather often, together with a year. But I'm not sure about this, and the write put a question mark also.
The name RIEDWEIL is rather clear, except that in the
signature it's RIDWEIL.
My [Dr. Fisher] picture is:
Friedrich = grandfather of the newborn son
Johann Ludwig = father, Barbara = mother
Johann Ludwig = son, born 4-Dec-1740, bapt. 8-Dec (this record)
Anna Apolonia = bapt. witness, aunt of the newborn

1749 - In the summer of 1749, a man by the name of Landenberger of Ebingen, who made frequent trips between Germany and America, brought back favorable letters from Hans Balthass Bitzer and Matthaeus Mautte. According to a report in 1749 by Mayor Venninger of Lauffen, preserved at Ludwigsburg, the letters are said to have "made such an impression among different families, that they even now appear to be intent on leaving next Spring." This resulted in the large Lauffen emigration of 1750, including some on the ship "Osgood."
1750 - Germany, Pfalz, Bayern, Immigrant's surname: READWILE Immigrant's given name(s): Johann Ludwig
Ship name: Osgood U.S. arrival date: 29 SEP 1750
Port: Philadelphia, PA Place of origin: Res: Freckenfeld, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany late of Cowes Source: Thirty Thousand Names of Immigrants, by I. Daniel Rupp
1750 - PA, Philadelphia 29 Sept., The ship 'Osgood' arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam, last from Cowes; William Wilkie, Captain, listed 480 [ or 180 "not sure"] passengers. Ludwig Readwile and Joh. Michael Rietweill were among those passengers.
Ludwig RIETHWEIL and his family most likely were taken to the court house where he then made his mark on the Oath of Allegiance and qualified, as well as his son Michael who was able to sign his name. Since Michael was over the age of 16, he had to qualify. The other children were under the age of 16, so were not required to qualify. Michael signed his name Rietweill to the document. Ludwig did not sign the document, but made his mark "LRW" and the spelling of the surname as "Readwile" is most likely a phonetic one by the court clerk.
1760 - 15 Aug 1760 Lodwick REDWINE of Granville County, North Carolina, for fifty pounds proclamation money, purchased from William Meadows of Orange County, 233 acres located eastward of Michael Peeler's and on the branches of Shillons (now Shelton's) Creek. The land adjoined Slaughter and Matheas. Lodwick owned this land when he died as it is included in the inventory of his estate. Source: Granville Co NC Deed Book H, p 364 (per Martha Redwine)
1764 - Lodowick Redwine appeared on the Granville Co NC tax list. This is the first tax list he has been located in. He paid one poll. The list was made by Col. Harris.
1766 - Lodwick Redwine was listed on the tax list of Granville Co North Carolina. The list was made by John Thomas and the number of polls paid has been blurred and not readable.
1767 - Lodwick Redwine was on the tax list of Granville Co NC when he paid one poll.
1767 - NC Granville Co. deed book H (1765-1826) page, 364 Lodwick Redwine of Granville Co. records land deed August 15, 1767 from William Medows of Orange Co. NC.
1768 - Lodwick Redwine was on the tax list of Granville Co NC as shown in tithables taken by Robert Harris. He paid two polls which included son Jacob Redwine shown. The law at the time in North Carolina set the white male poll at ages 16 and upward. Jacob would have reached age 16 in October 1767.
1769 - Lodwick Reetwile appeared on the Granville Co NC tax list and paid two polls. Michael Redwine appeared same list. 1769 - NC, Granville Co., tax list Lodowick Redwine 2 whites.
1770 - Lodwick Redwine was on the Granville Co NC tax list, paying two polls.
1771 - Ludwick Redwine appeared on the Granville Co NC tax list and paid three polls. This would indicate the youngest son John had reached the age of 16 years.
1772 - 22 Feb On page, 329 Granville County Unregistered Wills Lewis RIETHWEIL (signed in German Ludwig) wrote his will in Granville County naming sons Lewis, Michael, Jacob, John, and daughter Margaret Peeler, wife of Michael Peeler. The youngest son, John, was underage at that time. His wish was that son John was to serve his brother Jacob but for one year, then to be declared free. as of 1785 The original will, is in the care of the Granville County clerk of the Superior Court.

1772 - NC, Aug The inventory of Lodwick Redwine was recorded into Granville County Court in August 1772 which means he died between 22 Feb 1772 and Aug 1772. The inventory included the 233 acres of land he purchased in 1760. In this document, his name was shown with three different spellings, Lodwick Redwine; Lewis Riethweil; & Lodowick Redwine.
Obviously, the son named John who was underage in 1772 was not the same Johannes who was baptized 5 May 1737. In Mittelberger's diary, he said there were no less than 32 that died on the 'Osgood.' Freckenfeld belongs in the federal German state of Rheinland-Pfalz. Freckenfeld belongs to Kreis Germersheim, RegBez Rheinhessen-Pfalz, Land Rheinland-Pfalz The AGS is 07334005. The ZIP code is 76872
Following are some variations found while searching the name Redwine: Raedwine, Radewynde, Radewint, Radwin, Ritwell, Redewinus, Readwile, Rietweill, Redewinus, Redewyne, Redwin, Redwine, Redwile, Reedwine, Reetwhile, Reichwein, Reitweild, Reitweil, Rietwell, Ritwell, Riethweil. Source : "Ancestors and Descendants of John and Sarah and other Redwines," by Martha Redwine Nelson.
As the Palatine population grew in England, the Crown ordered a census made of these people. This inventory is preserved in the British Museum Library, London, England. It is from this inventory taken at Walworth, 27th of May, 1709, that we find Redwines. Lists of Germans from the Palatinate Who Came to England in 1709 are: Frederick Ritweil, age 32, wife, son age 2, Lutheran; and Jacob Ritweil, age 22, single, Lutheran. On Jan. 1710, a ship of Palatines sailed to America, arriving in Va. 13 weeks later. The Palatines were shipped across the Albermarle Sound to the Neuse River and placed on the south side of a point of land along the Trent River. There were also other ships coming to the Colonies during this great migration period of 1710- 1712, however, no document was found of Jacob and/or Frederick sailing to America. Source : "Ancestors and Descendants of John and Sarah and other Redwines," by Martha Redwine Nelson.
Other passengers on the ship "Osgood" included the following: From Lauffen were Ludwig Bitzer, Rudolph Christe, Jacob Koenig, Johann Matthias Spohn, Christian Stotz, Hans Balthass Stotz, Ludwig Stotz, and Johannes Wolfer. Hans Jerg Gutekunst was from Nagold. There was also a passenger by the name of Georg Becker who might possibly have been a relative of Barbara, wife of Johann Ludwig RIETHWEIL. There was a man named Johannes Seyl, but it is not known if this name might have been Seyler. If so, there might be a relationship to Peter Seyler whose son was baptized in 1755. Johann Michael Riethweil and his wife Christina were sponsors. Source 1: "Pennsylvania German Immigrants, 1709 - 1786"
"Probably most of you on the REDWINE list already have viewed the original Granville Co NC records, but it is interesting to see the different spellings in the same documents. I have some copies of original records of Granville Co NC which show the various spellings of the name.
A list of Taxables taken for 1766:
Lodwick REDWINE
1767 tax list:
Lodwick REDWINE
List of Tithables Taken by Robt Harris for 1768:
Lodwick REDWINE & Son Jacob

----------
I thought perhaps this might help to answer any doubts one might have. Seeing different spellings in the original document (and sometimes even different on the same page) should erase any doubt that Ludwig appears as Ludwig/Lodwick/Lodowick/Lewis and RIETHWEIL/REDWINE in the Granville Co NC records."

Notes:

A sister to Ludwig was one of the witnesses to the birth of his third child (Doc. #4)Christenings ( FHL # 247602 )
1738 - 1779 Germany, ( Bavarian - Pfalz ) Freckenfeld Parish. 1740 the 8th December, John Ludwig Riedweiler, citizen and weaver here, and his wife Barbara had a son christened, who was born on the 4th of December and named Johann Ludwig.
Christening witnesses were: Johan Ludwig Apfel, legitimate son of deceased Theobaldt Apflen - former citizen here. Anna Apolonia, legitimate daughter of Friedrich Riedweiler - citizen here. Both witnesses were unmarried. We witness: Ludwig Riedweil as Father and Ludwig Apfel as Godfather, Christian Melchlor Fischer, Minister.
Anna Apolonia was married 10 May 1753 to Johann Christian Apfel according to a public decree (Doc.#7) . Apparently they were required to be married before they could leave, and they left the 12th of May for America. In the article,
Emigration to the North American Colonies in the 18th Century from the Lutheran Church-book of Freckenfeld by Fr. Krebs (1952) it has the following paragraph about Christian Apffel (translated here by me) (Doc.#8)
1. Christian Apffel, chr. 28 October 1722 at Freckenfeld, as the son of Hans Erhard Apffel, citizen at Freckenfeld and his wife Anna Maria. Married 10 May 1753 at Freckenfeld to Anna Apollonia Riedweil. (Married 1753 the 10th of May; left for the New Land the 12th of the same month and year).
It was very interesting to find that the father of Ludwig and Anna Appolonia Riedweil, Friedrich Riedweil died as a poor man in Freckerifeld 23 January 1753 (Doc.#9). It seems that Anna Appolonla may have been taking care of her father until his death and shortly thereafter left for America where her brother was residing.

I found Johann's birth record of 8-Dec-1740 soon, and after a lot of additional searching one of his sisters, Anna in Feb.1745. Among her godmothers is an aunt, and her grandfather Friedrich Riedweil is noted also as citizen of Freckenfeld.<>
I have listed below parts from three email message about Anna Apolonia who Dr. Georg says is an aunt.
The first part below of course is from Dr. Georg and I think the Palmer email message below that were he starts Now turning to the German Records at his #2 record... I have it listed below.
I think Pallmer solves the question for us at least for the time being and gives us a logical place to record the aunt in our data base.
I would like to know if any of you are thinking in the same way that I am thinking...that Anna Apolonia is the very young sister of Lewis Redwine Sr. I propose to list her that way until such time that the source data would prove other wise.
