· ID: I535261363

· Name: Daniel HILLENBURG

· Given Name: Daniel

· Surname: Hillenburg

· Sex: M

· Birth: September 10, 1752 in Rohrenfurth, Hesse-Kassel Germany

· Death: 1819 in Wythe County, Virginia

· Note:

Properly named Johann Daniel Hillenburg he changed the spelling of his name several times upon coming to America.

During the American Revolutionary War 1776 the British Army brought forth what was know as Hessian Soldiers. These soldiers were of German Descent, coming from the area of Hessen-Cassel, Germany. Thus the name Hessian derived. One such soldier was Johann Daniel Hilgenberg.

Daniel Hilgenberg as he was called was born September 10, 1752 at Rohrenfurth, Hessen-Cassel, Germany. Entering the Hessian Army at the age of 24, Daniel shipped to America to help the British during the American Revolutionary War. A grenadier in Rall's also known as Von Rall's Regiment Company 2, Daniel fought in New York and New Jersey. Captured by Washington's Troops at Trenton, Daniel became a POW one year before being exchanged. After the Battle of Savannah Daniel deserted at Zitterauer's Bridge near Purysburg, South Carolina on April 24, 1779. Other Hessians also left at this time and Daniel may have accompanied one to North Carolina. Some believe Daniel joined the American Forces, but I have found no proof of this thus far.

Daniel settled on Spraker Road near Crockett, Virginia, changed his name to Hildenberg and engaged in linen weaving. He married Barbara Shrader or Shrider in 1787 in Montgomery, Virginia. Daniel and Mary became the parents of nine daughters and four sons, all born in Wythe County, Virginia. Three of these daughters married sons of Jacob Deckert/Deckard of Wythe County, Virginia

In 1819 and right before his death, Daniel changed his name to Hillenberg.
Hillenburg, Hiltonberg, Hilenberg, Heltonberg, Hylenberg, Hylgenberg, and Hiltonberg are just some of the spelling variations used by descendants in the Hilgenberg line .
Upon his death Daniel was buried on his land. John Wampler was appointed guardian of Daniel's children and later married Mary Barbara Shrader Hilgenberg, Daniel's widow. John and Mary were married January 14, 1821. Daniel Hillenberg Jr. purchased Daniel Sr.'s farm from the heirs on October 25, 1834. It later was passed on to Daniel Jr's son Eli Hillenberg. Daniel Jr. son of Johann Daniel Hillenberg/Helgenberg and his sons were Virginia Confederate Soldiers. Daniel Jr.'s son Eli Hillenberg died in 1897 and was buried at Kings Grove Methodist Cemetery.

In the course of Dave's genealogy research, we have learned one of his ancestors was a Hessian mercenary recruited by the British to fight against the Continental Army in 1776. Clever Gen. Washington petitioned the Continental Congress to offer land in the colonies to any mercenary soldier who would defect (but not bear arms against the British). It took several attempts, but the plan was finally put into effect. Dave's great-great-grandfather, Daniel Helgenborg (nowHillenburg ) was granted 50 acres in Wythe County, Virginia. The original portion of the farmhouse was built in the 1780's and the land had been in theHillenburg/Kinzer family until just a few years ago, and other Hillenburg relatives have been lucky enough to see & photograph the interiors as well as the landscape. We had to settle for some great exterior photos ... wouldn't you love to relax in this lovely spot? http://www.dnl.fgrv.net/

JOHANN DANIEL HILGENBERG, HESSIAN SOLDIER AND WYTHE CO. CITIZEN

My 3Xgreat grandfather Johann Daniel Hilgenberg (called Daniel) was born September 10, 1752 at Rohrenfurth, Hessen-Cassel, Germany to Johann Christian and Anna Catherine (Sinninger) Hilgenberg. His birthplace still stands today.

Entering the Hessian Army at age 24, Daniel shipped to America to help the British during the Revolutionary War. A grenadier in Rall’s Regiment, Company 2, Daniel fought in New York and New Jersey. Captured by Washington’s troops at Trenton, Daniel was a POW one year before being exchanged.

After the Battle of Savannnah, Daniel deserted at Zitterauer’s Bridge, near Purysburgh, South Carolina on April 24, 1779. Other Hessians also left at this time and Daniel may have accompanied one to North Carolina. Some believe Daniel joined the American forces.

After the war, Daniel settled on Spraker Road near Crockett, Virginia, changed his name to Hildenberg and engaged in linen weaving. He married Mary Barbara Shrader, born in 1770, the daughter of John Shrader and sister to Philip, Peter, and Christian Shrader. Daniel and Barbara Hildenberg’s four sons and nine daughters were born in Wythe County, Virginia.

Daniel and Barbara’s daughters Christina, Sally, and Catherine married Michael, Jacob, Jr., and John Deckard, sons of Jacob Deckard, Sr. of Wythe County. A fourth Deckard brother, William, married Elizabeth Emeline, a niece of the three daughters and daughter of Anna (Kinser) and John Lewis Hildenberg. Sally, born 1798 near Crockett, Virginia, and Jacob Deckard, Jr., my great great grandparents, were married May 8, 1817 in Wytheville.

Before Daniel’s death in June 1819, his name changed to Hillenberg (some use Hillenburg). Daniel was buried on his land. John Wampler was appointed guardian of Daniel’s children and married Daniel’s widow, Barbara, October 25, 1821.

Daniel Hillenberg, Jr. (Sally’s brother) purchased Daniel, Sr.’s farm from the heirs on October 25, 1834. Daniel, Jr. and his sons were Virginia Confederate soldiers. The farm passed to Daniel, Jr.’s son Eli Hillenberg, who in 1897 was buried at King’s Grove Methodist Cemetery.

Hilgenberg to Hillenburg - interesting how names can change

My Hessian ancestor is Daniel Hillenburg (Heldenburg and many other spellings), today Hillenburg. Daniel ended up in Washington County, VA, the part which later became Wythe County. He married Barbara Shreder. He was Hilgenburg originally. Incidentally, the Hillenburg house is still standing in Wythe County, VA. Many descendants remained in Wythe County, but many also mighrated to Indiana.

HETRINA III, #7812/13
Hilgenberg/Helgenberg, Daniel, 1752/53, Roehrenfurt D3509 (that's the old postal code, now 34212 Melsungen-Roehrenfurt, about 20 km south of Kassel/Hessen) Kassel Regt. Rall, 2.Comp., captured in Trenton, N.J., Dec.26, 1776. (on Trenton POW list with note "taken to Lancaster"), listed as deserted in April 1779.

I have done the entire genealogy form the medieval period in Europe and know exactly what happened to the line. It appears to me that we are all descended from the same Hessian soldier who was captured at Trenton by Washington on Christmas Day when he crossed the Delaware. This soldier was given 50 acres in Virginia in exchange for not returning to the fight. He married a woman from Virginia and had a son who he gave the farm to. This son had more than one boy of one of the sons inherited the property and the other moved to Indiana. I haven’t looked at the records for 10 years but that is the gist of it. The property in Virginia is still owned by the descendants of the grandson’s wife. My dad has met them and they are aware of it originally being owned by the Hillenburg clan. My dad is descended from the son who stayed in Virginia. My dad had a brother who had two sons (one of whom is the creator of SpongeBob) and I am one of six kids. We are now spread all over the country and there are no longer any Hillenburgs in Virginia. My twin sister teaches at NIU and I noticed there is a Hillenburg as a student there. Anyway I hope I filled in some family history for you. My siblings are Mark (VT), David (MD), Lisa (MD), John (DE), and Kim (IL). My two cousins live in CA. The only boy in our line that can carry on the Hillenburg name is my cousin Stephen’s son. My two brothers that have children have daughters.
