4.JOHANN GORG "GEORGE"⁴ WIEN (JACOB³WINE, NICLAUS²WEIN, ALBRECHT¹) was born April 16, 1715 in Rittershoffen, Germany, and died Bef. April 11, 1797 in Frederick Co., MD.He married MARGARETHA HORN May 08, 1741 in Worms, Germany, daughter of HEINRICH HORN and EVA HUMBERT.She was born January 28, 1717/18, and died WFT Est. 1755-1813.
Notes for JOHANN GORG "GEORGE" WIEN:
Arrived on the ship "Elliot" from Rotterdam, landing at Philadelphia, August 24, 1749.
Abstract of a letter Miss Georgia Wine wrote to her sister is as follows:
"I am afraid you would never guess what I did on Saturday, so here goes -- I spent from 11 am to 3:30pm (without lunch) looking up records of our Grandfather "Johann George Wien," who landed in Philadelphia Aug. 24, 1749.the Librarian at the Penna. Historical. Society gave me about nine books to look thru giving the list of passengers at that date, the section of the Rhine they came from, the condition of their coming over, etc.They had a photostat of the signatures of all passengers from that ship and his signature has the name spelled 'Wien'.The second letter is unmistakably 'i' which is utterly different name from 'Wein'.They came over from a section along the Rhine of which Heidelberg was the principal town.They came over because of great civil and religious persecutions in Germany at that time.The Wines were originally from Austria and the word is the German translation of their word Vienna.Our grandfather was of the branch that went to Germany.It was all wonderfully interesting and I would much prefer having the name "Wien" than "Wein", as this clears up all possibility of its ever being of Jewish origin, which I have been asked so much since being in this section of the country."---- Georgia Wine
Mrs. Charles Roy Jones, a sister of Miss Georgia Wine, of Culpeper, Va gives the following:
"As to the original spelling of the name, I believe Wien is correct.When my sister Georgia was in Germany she got the following information:When surnames were required (so the story goes) a family living in Vienna, Austria, was allowed to take the place name Wien (pronounced Vin).They were men of education, closely affiliated with the ruler of this country.Later some of them migrated to Germany, where they kept the same name.When they settled in America the name was Anglicized, as is often done.I have been told that there is no such surname as Wein in Germany.There are many combinations such as Weinberg, which is definitely Jewish."
Johann Gorg Wien latter dropped Johann and simply wrote his name as George.
Mr. D. Sayler Good, late of Roanoke, Va, wrote in 1929 on his return from a trip to Lancaster and York counties, PA as follows:
"I have examined the records of York and Lancaster counties on my recent trip to Pennsylvania and found deeds in both places from George Wine but none from Michael Wine.The deed in York county, Pa, describes him as George 'Wein' and Margaretta, his wife, yeoman, which means farmer, of York county, Pennsylvania, to George Moeller, recorded in Deed Book "G", and I have failed to put down the page No., but it was recorded November 23rd, 1761, and is dated the 20th, 1761."
