Agnes was born about 1716-1720 at Germanna, Spotsvylvania Co., Virginia to Melchior Brumbach and Maria Elisabetha Fischbach. She grew up at "Germantown," in what is now Fauquier County, Virginia and married Johann Heinrich Otterbach (Henry Utterback), another Germanna pioneer. [1] Agnes and Henry continued to live on the land her father received in 1721, [2] and in 1746, "out of love and affection" her sisters gave them the whole property. [3] Agnes died sometime after 1790 at Germantown, [1] the year she deeded her interest in the land to her son, Charles. [4]
Agnes and Henry had seven children.
She passed away about 1790.[citation needed]
Because of an error in William I. Utterback's 1938 book, Utterback history and genealogy of the Utterback family in America, 1622-1937, the husband of Agnes Brumbach, Henry Utterback, is confusing, at best. Dr. Utterback states that Henry was born about 1725 in Old Germantown, Virginia and places him as a son of John Utterback, born in 1702 in Trupbach, Germany. [5]
Benjamin C. Holtzclaw corrects this mistake in his 1964 book Ancestry and Descendants of the Nassau-Siegen Immigrants to Virginia. In this book, Henry Utterback is born 21 Sep 1698 in Trupbach, Germany to Johann Otterback, who was born in 1659 in Trupbach, Germany. Henry immigrated in 1734 to Pennsylvania with his sister and his family and his nephew, also named Johann Henrich Otterbach. The elder (uncle) Henry ended up in Virginia where he married Agnes about 1735. [6]
The list of their children is also quite different between these two sources. This profile follows the information given by Dr. Holtzclaw.
