His middle name was either Teter or Dider -- further research needs to be done to verify the correct variation. Fiscus-32 08:37, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

The following comes from a merged profile -- no sources given:

First Generation

John Teter Elrod was born ca. 1684. Sources disagree on whether he was from Hessen, Germany, or from Switzerland. "Johan Dider Elroot", wife and one child, also "Johan Willem Lergerseiler", wife and one child, all sailed from Rotterdam 15 July 1709. Wilhelm Lerchenzeiler was the father, or possibly the brother, of John Teter's wife Maria Magdalena Lerchenzeiler. Both families settled initially in New Castle County, Delaware where they are listed as communicants in Holy Trinity Church.

Maria Margaretha apparently died about 1721, and John Teter married again,

Notes from Larry Elrod

You say marriage was in Palatinate 3 July 1709; this is not possible, as he was in Rotterdam @ that time preparing to sail for London. Record says he was with wife and 1 child. His wife's parents were in that same group of Palatine immigrants.

You show his death as 1739 in Monocacy. There is a reference to "Ditrich Elrod" in Elk Ridge Landing, Maryland in 1748.^[2] This wasn't likely a reference to his son, Johan Dieterich, Jr., as he was only 14 at the time. Just thought I would pass this on.
