HISTORY OF OLD BROAD BAY AND WALDOBORO
thirty acres on the east side, the second farm above the railroad station, for £100.154 He died on January 1, 1826, leaving ten sons and daughters. His brother, Joseph Henry, married Elizabeth Kaler and took up a farm on the upper Medomak, across the river from Jacob's property. He, too, was active in community affairs and was a sergeant in the Broad Bay company at Machias in 1776. Joseph died in 1833, leaving twelve children. This numerous Lud- wig progeny in turn sired richly, and a large clan sprang up from these two brothers, scattered today throughout the nation. There are Ludwigs still living in Waldoboro.
MARTIN. This name of Germanic origin runs copiously through all early Broad Bay records. John Martin, Sr., may have been a Ger- man in the migration of 1742 or a Swiss who remained in the set- tlement. In 1744 he occupied a lot at the First Falls.155 In the early 1760's John, Jr., was living on a farm in the southwestern section of the town.156 He was a surveyor and did most of this work at Broad Bay in this period including the running of the town lines in 1773. An "Adam Martin of German origin," a possible descend- ant, lived at a later date "in Union near the Waldoborough line."157
MATCHLOFFE. This name clearly indicates a German ancestry. Resi- dence in the Broad Bay district is a matter of record, but there is little more than this. Matthias Matchloffe settled on a farm near the Bremen line. He was possibly a migrant of the early 1750's or a Swiss who elected to remain in the settlement. His death in 1757 or 1758 suggests that he died in service or was killed by the Indians; for on March 25, 1758, James Hilton of Broad Cove was appointed "guardian unto Mary Matchloffe, a minor daughter of Matthias Matchloffe late of said Broad Cove."158 No more is known of this family from Waldoborough records.
MELLEN. In 1773 or 1774 Hans Simon Mellen died in Boston where he apparently had taken refuge in the French and Indian War and had remained. The heirs were Abigail, his wife, Elizabeth Hilt, his daughter, the probable wife of John Hilt, Conrad Bornheimer and his wife, Katherine, a daughter of Mellen, all of Waldoborough. In settling the estate it was agreed that John Peter Hilt, Yeoman, Margaret, Mary and John Hilt, three minors under twenty-one years of age, and all children of John Hilt, late of Waldoborough,

deceased, should pay all of Mellen's just debts and in return the other heirs
do release, convey etc., unto the said John Peter, Mary, Margaret and John Hilt ... all rights in the estate of Mellen, and more particularly a tract of land in Waldoborough, being Lot No. 35, 40 rods wide and containing 100 acres, bounded west on Broad Bay, north on land lately occupied by John Smith, dec., south on land occupied by Jacob Born- heimer to run back an east course until 100 acres are completed. (Signed November 4, 1774.) 159
Mellen had purchased this lot of William Ross of Boston, October 13, 1761, for £14. Hans Simon probably came to Boston from Frankfurt in 1751 or 1752 with the Hilts, and to Broad Bay in 1752.
MILLER. This is anglicized from the German, Müller. There seem to have been two families by this name at Old Broad Bay - the Frank Miller and the Peter Miller families. Frank was the first of his branch of the family to settle on the Medomak. He was born in Germany in 1725, and if, as stated in the Miller Genealogy, he was born near the city of Bremen, he must have moved later to south Germany, as the same source gives his first child, Henry, as having been born in 1752 at Dillenburg in the Rhine country. Frank Miller's wife was Anna Gertssuth, born in 1730. They mi- grated to Broad Bay in 1753, where he was ultimately allotted a farm on Dutch Neck, Lot No. 35, of eighty-eight acres. By trade he is reputed to have been a papermaker, a calling he was destined never more to follow; instead he became a very successful farmer. In 1764 he repurchased his farm of the Pemaquid heirs for £11 14s. 8d.160 During the Revolution he saw about one year of service, broken into several enlistments in the local militia which was sta- tioned for most of the time at Machias for the defense of the coast against the British. Frank Miller died at Waldoborough, February 21, 1805, and his wife, Anna, on October 26, 1820. There was buried with her at her request the passport and other family rec- ords brought from Germany. To this union were born eight chil- dren from whom were descended many of the Miller family still so numerous in Waldoboro.161
There is considerably less known of the Peter Miller family. He too, was allotted a farm on Dutch Neck, Lot No. 40, contain- ing eighty acres which he redeemed of the Pemaquid heirs in 1763 for £10 13s. 4d.162 According to H. A. Rattermann, Peter Miller, in 1753, built a big house in which he had a retail store. This house

was of one story, built of logs, but roomier than the others and covered with boards. For some time it was the finest house in the colony. The actual fact probably is that this house was also the store from which Waldo's supplies were dispensed to the migrants of 1753. Of his children nothing definite is known. A Henry Miller died at Broad Bay in 1768, leaving an estate valued at £40 2s. 101/2 d.163 This could not have been Frank's son, Henry, since at that time he would have been only sixteen years old, which sug- gests that this Henry was a son of Peter. There were also other sons, now unknown; for the present Tom Winston farm in the northeastern part of the town was in early days a seat of the Miller family for several generations. The Millers descending from these two lines were firmly entrenched in the town by 1790, for the census of that year lists five as heads of families: Peter, Frank, Jr., Francis, and Henry, the son of the immigrant, Frank.
MINK. Variations are Minck, Mank, probably anglicized from the German, Minnich. The first Mink at Broad Bay was Georg, a hus- bandman, who with his wife Katharina probably came to the col- ony in 1752.164 He was allotted a farm on Dutch Neck, Lot No. 38, containing eighty-four acres, which he was compelled to re- deem from the Pemaquid heirs in 1763 for £7 4s.165 A son, Peter, married "Mary Lissabot," a daughter of John Martin Gross. Other sons were Paul, Pascal, and Valentine. This family has been numer- ous, and the name is common in present-day Waldoboro.
NEUHAUS. The Neuhaus family apparently came to Broad Bay in 1753. After the death of Lorenz Seitz (Sides) in the French and Indian War, Christopher Neuhaus seems to have acquired the original Seitz farm, Lot No. 8, for many years the residence of Captain Albion F. Stahl, for on September 7, 1770, when Philip Vogler sold his farm, Lot No. 9, east side, his southern bound is described as the northern bound of Christopher Neuhaus. Later in the century this farm was acquired by Lorenz Seitz, Jr., 166 and Neuhaus took up land at Goose River within the plantation of Medumcook, where he was living in 1784.167 This seems to be the last trace of this family in our early history.
NEWBERT. This is also spelled Newbet, anglicized from the Ger- man, Neubert. This is a large Waldoboro family, and its dean at Broad Bay was probably Christopher. The Newbert Geneal-

ogy168 168 states that he came "from the walled city of Nürnberg in Bavaria in 1748, with his wife and four children, two boys and two girls." The boys were Christopher, born in Germany in 1736, who married Mary Gross and died at Waldoborough in 1829; and John, born in Germany in 1739, who married Elizabeth Benner, daughter of Henry, and died at Waldoborough in 1836. Other sons born at Broad Bay may have been Michael and Zacharias.169 Newbert was an influential citizen. He donated the land on the east bank of the Medomak on which the present Lutheran Church was originally built and was also a member of the first board of selectmen in 1773. The date of his death is not known, but occurred probably sometime prior to 1790. According to tradition he lies buried in the old Lutheran Cemetery on the shore of his one-time farm. The sons, Christopher and John, both settled in North Wal- doboro and both lie buried in the old Newbert burying ground on the farm of Zolvina Mink at North Waldoboro. There is a piece of the original lusterware brought by Newbert to this coun- try in possession of Mrs. Ida Mallett of Warren, a descendant of Christopher Newbert. In the census of 1790, both sons are listed as heads of families.
ORFF or ORF. This is anglicized from the German, Orph. The first Orff at Broad Bay was Nikolaus, "a poor but well educated young man," who came to the settlement in 1752 with Hans Georg Hahn, having apparently been in the second migration under Crell. He was much under the influence of the Hahns and in consequence identified himself early with the Moravian movement in the com- munity. The local odium of this affiliation clung to the family so long that those still living can recall the epithet, "old Herrnhüter," hurled at their grandfather.170 Nikolaus is believed to have settled and lived on what is commonly known as "the old Orff place." This is the farm of which a part is now owned by Harold Rider. The founder of this family was still living in 1790 and at that time apparently had two sons who themselves had become heads of families, Friedrich and Christopher (1751-1856). The second gen- eration of Orffs settled on lands in the upper valley, in what is known as the Orff's Corner district of the town. The name is still a common one in the community, and the number of its descend- ants is large.
OVERLOCK. Other variations are Oberlach, Oberlock, anglicized from the German, Oberloch. John Godfrey Overlock came to

HISTORY OF OLD BROAD BAY AND WALDOBORO
Broad Bay in 1752 and settled on Lot No. 50, containing twenty- two acres, on the lower end of Dutch Neck. He was born May 28, 1717, and his wife, Susannah Benner, was born in the year 1725. Of this union there were six children, and two additional ones to a second wife, Elizabeth Drible, born 1733.171 This family has never been a large one in the town, many of the descendants having mi- grated into adjacent areas. The census of 1790 shows the follow- ing Overlocks as heads of families: John Henry, Charles, and Frank. Today in the town there are many families linked by blood to the original settler, but only one family still bears this name.
PROCK. This is anglicized from the German, Pracht, which in turn was a Germanization of an earlier French name, for the Procks were of French-Huguenot extraction and as such were earlier mi- grants into the Rhine country. The first of this name at Broad Bay was Peter, or Pierre Bracht, from Altzen, who landed at Boston, November 9, 1751, and came to Broad Bay the following spring.172 The old name of Prock's Ledge suggests that Peter may have been allotted a farm on the west side of the river, in later times the old William Storer place. Sons of the immigrant Peter were John (1759-1844) and George (1765-1845). A Peter and a John appear in the census of 1790 as being heads of families in that year. This has been a large family, even though only a few bear the name in present-day Waldoboro.
RAMRER. This is an uncertain family name derived from an illegi- ble orthography. Little more is known of it than the fact that on May 18, 1774, Joseph Ramrer, "husbandman of Waldoborough," in consideration of the sum of £13 6s. 8d., paid by Frank Miller of Waldoborough, conveyed to Miller his "right and interest" in a lot of land on Dutch Neck, thirty-seven rods wide and containing one hundred acres "with buildings thereon standing," bounded north on Henry Walk's lot and south on Henry Stahl's lot.173 The hold- ing of property in this area would identify Ramrer with the mi- gration of 1752. Apart from the sale of this property there is no further reference to this family in local history.
RAZOR. Reisser, Razer, are other variants of the German, Reiser. The immigrant founder of this once prominent Waldoborough family was John Martin Reiser, a signer of the Shirley Petition of May 13, 1754. Family tradition records that he came from Saxony with his wife, born Labe. In this case there is a strong possibility that he was of the small migration of 1739. Reiser's farm was on

the east side of the river just south of the built-up section of the present village. His original cabin may have been on the site of Alfred Storer's lumberyard, known in early days as "Razor's Point," or on the shore of the cove just south of it. John Martin was prominent in the early life of Broad Bay. He took part in the French and Indian War and in 1762 was commissioned a lieutenant in Captain Matthias Römele's "Broad Bay Rangers,"174 and after- ward rose to the rank of major. John Martin's Book of Psalms,175 a beautifully bound and printed product of Christopher Sauer's Press, Germantown, Pennsylvania, 1739, records the birth of his children as well as his interest and faith in astrology, to wit, that the position of the planets at the time of a child's birth would make it possible to forecast his life.
The entries are as follows: "John Jacob Reiser, b. Jan. 1, 1752, 2:00 A.M. The planets Saturn and Venus are the signs of his birthday. Philip Martin Reiser, b. Sept. 12, 1754, 12 midnight." This son, Philip, was a soldier in the Revolution, and in the winter of 1776 was in camp at Prospect Hill, Colonel Bond's regiment, Captain Fuller's company, in which Philip Ulmer was a sergeant. Philip died of illness in the service this same year.176 "Charles John Valentine Reiser, b. March 18, 1762 at 8:00 P.M., at the sign of Capricornus. The planets, Jupiter and Saturn are signs of his birth- day. May the Lord give him a long life." George Martin Reiser, "born, Jan. 2, 1767 at 12 midnight.'
Charles and George are buried in the Main Street Cemetery. The Razor property, circa 1800, embraced a fifty-rod waterfront running from just above Storer's Wharf to just south of the But- ton Factory and extending eastward over the hill. Charles in his later life resided on the top of the hill above the old Storer home. The family was at one time a large one. It married freely into Broad Bay families and into those from "other parts." A great- granddaughter, Mary, married Captain Hermann Kopperholdt; her sister, Emily, married John Robertson of Boston. There was also intermarriage with the Kinsells and later with the Allens. The town of Razorville derived its name from the second generation George of this family, who settled there in the latter part of the eighteenth century.
REED or REID. This is anglicized from the German, Ried. Johann Georg Reid was the immigrant and founder of this family at Broad Bay. He was a wagoner by trade and probably came to the settle- ment in 1752 with his wife, Magdalena Eichorn, from Langenstein- bach, Baden Durlach, Germany.177 He was allotted land on the

west bank of the Medomak, which he was compelled in 1764 to redeem from the Pemaquid heirs. Johann Georg died in 1776. Sur- viving him were his widow, two sons, Michael and Jacob, and three daughters, Eva, Sevilla, and Margaretha. Of these children, Jacob came with his parents to Broad Bay, where on December 14, 1760, he married Elizabeth Barbara Rominger. In 1770 this couple moved to North Carolina and became members of the Moravian Society at Friedland. Here a distinguished career opened up before him. He represented North Carolina in the Continental Congress from 1783 to 1785. Moving to South Carolina he represented that state in the Congress from 1795 to 1801. He was then appointed by Presi- dent John Adams as a Federal Judge.178 Upon retirement he re- turned to his old home in Friedland, where he died May 29, 1819. Jacob's wife, Elizabeth, followed him in death on October 19, 1829. This couple was "blessed with seventeen children, fifty- eight grand children, and fifty-four great grand children."
The other children of Johann Georg Ried remained at Broad Bay. Michael, born at Langensteinbach, 1729, died at Waldobor- ough in 1827. He secured eventual title to his farm on the west bank of the river by settling with the Pemaquid heirs in 1764 for £13 10s.179 The daughters, Sevilla and Margaret, married a Gilbert and an Achorn. Michael and his son, Jacob, were listed as family heads in the census of 1790. The descendants of this family, with the name anglicized to Reed, should not be confused with the Puritan strain descended from Isaac G. Reed.
REFUSE. This is a family of uncertain identity. A John Refuse is listed by John North as a resident of Broad Bay in 1760. Otherwise nothing is known of this family.
REISAUS. This name is derived from an illegible orthography. A Seiffarth of this name was among the signers of the Petition of January 14, 1767, to Governor Francis Bernhard.180
REITTER. A Heinrich of this name also affixed his name to the Peti- tion of January 14, 1767.181
REMILY. Other variations are Remilly, Remilee, Remily, Remly - all anglicized forms of the German, Römele. Matthias was the im- migrant of this family at Broad Bay, and he came to the settlement in 1742. He first settled on the east side of the river on Lot No. 16, the farm between the present northern boundary of Harold Leven-

saler and the lot of Raymond Jones. In 1771 he purchased Lot No. 24 on the east bank with the dam and gristmill. At the same time he owned Lot No. 25, north of the mill site, and probably lived on it.182 He was a man who had had military experience in Germany and hence assumed a position of importance during the Indian wars. In May, 1797, he sold Lot No. 25 to Thomas Willett, and at that time he was already living in Thomaston where he had joined his old friend, John Ulmer.183 His only child of whom we have any record, a daughter, was married to John Ulmer, Jr. He had blood connections with the Schwartz family, and this is the only known tie of this name with the present-day town.
RHODES Or RODE. This is probably anglicized from the German, Roth. Little is known concerning this family. George Roth was settled on the west side of the river in 1763, when he was com- pelled to repurchase his land, Lot No. 22, below the Medomak Falls, of the Pemaquid heirs for £14 2s. 8d.184 The name appears as Rode in the Kinsell passport of 1772.185 George's death occurred in 1797 and his will, probated that year, mentions his wife, Ro- sanna, and an adult son, Conrad. The estate was appraised at $602.00. A Cornelius Rhodes, possibly the brother or father of George, was a properous farmer at an early date at Broad Cove,186 and was an active Tory in the American Revolution. Beyond these few facts this family seems to have left little trace in Waldoborough history.
RINNER. Philip was the immigrant of this name at Broad Bay, and he was probably of the migration of 1742. His one known act was to affix his signature to the Petition addressed to Governor Shirley, May 13, 1754.
ROMINGER. This family consisted of four brothers, David, Philip, Michael, and Jacob, who came to Broad Bay in different migra- tions. David was born September 17, 1716, in the village of Winter- lingen in the Balinger district of Würtemberg. He was reared a Lutheran and learned the trade of a carpenter. He married in 1741 and the next year migrated to Broad Bay where he arrived under an indenture of £7 12s. 5d. - money used to pay for the passage and other expenses incidental to it. In the settlement he was assigned to Lot No. 13 on the east side, with a water frontage of twenty-five rods, extending into the back-country far enough to embrace one hundred acres. This lot includes the present-day

homestead sites of Ralph Hoffses and myself, and the blueberry bar- rens of the Fred Scott estate. In 1745 David joined the expedition under Pepperell and Waldo which captured Louisburg in June of that year. For three years he was in military service and re- turned to Broad Bay in 1748. In 1752, after the death of his first wife, he married a widow with a large family of children, "which rendered his life a difficult one." He had come to Broad Bay with definite Moravian leanings, in consequence of which he joined the migration to North Carolina in 1769 with his son Philip, one of the two children by his first marriage. His daughter married and remained behind at Broad Bay. Early in 1770 the second wife, who had remained at Broad Bay with her own children, joined him in North Carolina, where she died February 8, 1770. The next day he lost his son Philip, and on February 10, the son and step- mother were laid to rest in the "Broad Bay Burying Ground" in Salem. Thereafter David settled in Bethabara where he lived until the time of his death on April 3, 1777.187
PHILIP ROMINGER came from Winterlingen in Würtemberg to Broad Bay with his brother David in 1742 and likewise arrived under indenture. He settled on Lot No. 14, the farm next north of his brother David.188 The old stonewalls on the east side of the road clearly mark the limits of Philip's farm. He, too, was prob- ably in the Louisburg Expedition of 1745. During the French and Indian War he moved his family to Boston for security while he was serving in the field. There death came to him in 1762 and that of his wife took place likewise in the same city seven years later. Of this union there is a record left of only two daughters, Elizabeth, born at Broad Bay on September 29, 1743, and Juliana, born in Boston on September 13, 1757. The former became the wife of Johann Michael Seitz, and the younger sister the wife of Jacob Lagenauer. Both daughters migrated to North Carolina with their husbands around 1770.189
MICHAEL ROMINGER was born on March 16, 1709, at Winterlingen and in his thirteenth year was confirmed as a Lutheran. His biog- rapher records that he followed the trade of a carpenter and adds that "he was a large, handsome man who was called in his twenty- fifth year to become a soldier in a Royal Regiment." After three years of service he deserted, and to avoid detection moved with his parents to Siegen in Baden Durlach. After the death of his par- ents he moved to Hoch Wettersbach where on December 26,

1748, he married Anna Katharina Anton. In 1753 he brought his family to America and settled at Broad Bay. Here he joined the group interested in Moravian teaching. In 1770 he sold his lot, the present farm of Foster Jameson, to Nathaniel Simmons for £146 13s. 4d.,190 and then migrated to North Carolina, where he settled at Friedland. On December 26, 1790, this couple celebrated the golden anniversary of their marriage. The wife, Anna Katharina, born in Durlach, November 22, 1717, died at Friedland on April 2, 1794. Michael followed his wife in death on August 31, 1803. This couple had eleven children, fifty-four grandchildren and twenty-six great-grandchildren.191
JACOB ROMINGER probably came to Broad Bay with his brother Michael in 1753. He settled on the east side of the river on Lot No. 9 (second numbering), which seems to have been the Charles Fish farm now owned and occupied by Clyde Sukeforth. Jacob apparently married a daughter of Martin Sidelinger either at Broad Bay or in Germany. She died prior to 1793, for an agreement among Martin's heirs in that year mentions "as an heir, one, Jacob Rominger, now living in North Carolina." Jacob had joined his two brothers in their migration to this southern state and was among those who signed the "Brotherly Agreement" at Friedland in 1773. These Rominger migrations left only those in the female line at Broad Bay, where the name has been extinct for one hun- dred and seventy years. According to a genealogy now being com- piled, there are more than four thousand and five hundred known descendants of these four brothers in all sections of the United States.192
