2. JOHN RUDOLPH2 WAYMIRE (JOHN VALENTINE1) (Source: (1) "Genealogy of the Herbert Hoover Family", Ancestors of President Herbert Hoover., (2) "Waymire Genealogy" published in 1925 by William M Reser, M.D., Dr. Reser is the son of Harvey Reser and Sarah Waymire, the daughter of John Waymire and Margaret Colble, and the Granddaughter of Daniel Waymire.) was born 1725 in Hanover, Germany, and died July 26, 1801 in Randolph County, N.C..

Notes for JOHN RUDOLPH WAYMIRE:
Written by Dr William Reser:
" Great-Great-Grandfather, on Mothers side."
" John Rudolph Waymire was a son of John Waymire and was born in Hanover Germany about the year 1725. They lived in the High-land and were called the High White Dutch. The Highlanders were of large statue and Rudolph was a man of great physical strength, being tall and erect weighing over 200 pounds."
" He was in the military service for a number of years. He was an officer and while in the service erected a fort upon which, in his honor, his name was inscribed and it is there to this day."
" After his term of service had expired, he was retained by the King, Frederick the Great as an officer of his body-guard. (In which physical requirements were at least six feet tall and two hundred and twenty five in weight) Later on he was made provincial governor over a new district acquired by conquest. Being a man of a free and independent disposition and of undoubted courage he refused to execute a mandate of the King which he considered unjust, and for this insubordination he was thrown in prison for a term of 30 days. After his release he openly avowed his determination to be a free man and that he would go to America where he could be free. Freely expressing thus in public the King heard of it and placed him in prison for a second time. This second imprisonment caused him to be more careful of his speech and to keep his determinations to himself. He then secretly made arrangements to leave the country and having procured passports, he with his wife and two children, his father and mother and two sisters, sailed for America. This was about the year 1750. They had a long and tedious voyage between three and six months. About midway of the ocean the mother died, her body was lashed to a plank weighted with iron or lead and thrown overboard. This was so revolting to him that he ever afterward expressed his horror of it."
Notes for ? LOUGH:
More written by Dr. William Reser:
" Taking so long for the journey, longer than they had expected, the two sisters having limited financial means, could pay for but half the voyage. John Rudolph, wife and two children had just enough to land them on shore. On account of the mothers death shortening he period of requiring rations the father had enough to complete the voyage. They being strangers and no one able to pay the balance due from the sisters, these were put on the block and sold for labor, or as slaves, for it was the custom in those days if one failed to have money to pay transportation, or "passage Money" as they called it they were sold for the purpose of reimbursing the debt. Upon landing in Philadelphia the purchaser of the two sisters hurried away with them, and in spite of subsequent searching John Rudolph was never able to see or hear of them again and he always worried over this misfortune."
"He, his wife and two children and his father settled for a short time in Pennsylvania and while there the father died, in the year 1757; and in the same year he and his family moved to North Carolina, Guilford, Co. where he spent the remainder of his days. His German wife died leaving him with eight children, one boy and seven girls. In the year 1775 he married Miss (?) Elizabeth Louck (which is my great-great grandmother-WM. Reser) To this union was born seven children, all boys making fifteen children, all of whom lived to manhood and womanhood, married and had large families of their own and they all moved to Ohio between 1799 and 1806 inclusive."
" John Rudolph Waymire was born 1725, Died 1798 or 1799."
