Phillip Lutsinger - In "Monocacy and Catoctin", C. E.Schildknecht, editor, page 95,

 Philip Litsinger is mentioned as a head of families of Frederick County, Maryland, who, in March 1766, petitioned the Governor to call the Maryland Assembly for the purpose of issuing bills of credit (paper money). From this last item,

 Philip Litsinger is listed in the "Genealogical Index to Frederick County, Maryland", page 59.

 According to Frederick County, land records, on August 21, 1769, Philip Letzinger and his wife Sarah sold their land to Peter Yeader. Their land was called "Philips Chance" and was located in the area of Little Antietam, which was southwest of the town of Frederick. In Loudoun County, Virginia, heads of families paid a yearly tithe to the court.

 The name of Phillip appears as follows in "Loudoun County, Virginia Tithables 1758-1778," volume 2: pages 526 (Phillip Ledsinner), 543 (Fillep Ledsinger), 699 (Philip Letsinger) and 846 (Philip Lettsinger). On March 15, 1777, inLoudoun County, Virginia,

Philip Lutesinger made his will in which he mentioned his wife Sarah and children Michael, Philp and Rebecca. Philip's children, Philip and Becky, were mentioned in an Indenture of Lease made between George William

Fairfax and James Neilson in June 1787 ("Virginia County, Court

Records, Deed Abstracts of Loudoun County, Virginia,

1787-1788", page 40);

 Philip and Rebecca were identified as the

children of Nielsons wife by her former husband. We have no

further information on wife Sarah or children Michael and

Rebecca, except for Michael possibly being in Baltimore County,

Maryland in 1783, as mentioned above.

  In "Settlers of Maryland 1751-1765," page 250, in

Frederick County on April 9 1764, Philip Sitzsinger is named as owner of 31

acres of land called "Philip's Choice".  In the same source, page 170, also

in Frederick County on April 9 1765, Philip Litzsinger is named as owner of

31 acres of land called "Philip's Choice".  According to Frederick County

land records, on August 21, 1769, Philip Letzinger and his wife Sarah sold

their land to Peter Yeader.  Their land was called "Philips Chance" and was located in the area of Little Antietam, which was southwest of the town ofFrederick.  In Loudoun County, VA, heads of families paid a yearly tithe to the court.  The name of Phillip appears as follows in "Loudoun County Virginia Tithables 1758-1778," volume 2: pages 526 (Phillip Ledsinner), 543 (Fillep Ledsinger), 699 (Philip Letsinger) and 846 (Philip Lettsinger).  OnMarch 15, 1777, in Loudoun County, VA, Philip Lutesinger made his will in which he mentioned his wife Sarah and children Michael, Philp and Rebecca. Philip's children, Philip and Becky, were mentioned in an Indenture of Lease made between George William Fairfax and James Neilson in June 1787 ("Virginia County Court Records, Deed Abstracts of Loudoun County, Virginia,

1787-1788", page 40).  Philip and Rebecca were identified as the children of Nielson's wife by her former husband.  We have no further information on wife Sarah or children Michael and Rebecca, except for Michael possibly being in Baltimore County, MD in 1783, as mentioned above.

 Philip Letsinger - Philip, son of Phillip, was born about 1769, probably in

Frederick County, MD; this date is derived from his second wife's pension

records (which are in the National Archives) in which Philip's doctor states

that Philip was about 70 years of age when he died in 1839.  According to

marriage records of Bedford County, VA, on July 27, 1789, Philip obtained a bond to marry Ann Pettit; Lewis Pettit gave his approval so she was probably

his daughter.  Next, in October 1810 in Knox County, TN, marriage records,

Philip was listed as a bondsman.  On November 6, 1838, Philip obtained a

bond to marry Elizabeth Shinpock.  According to Elizabeth's pension records

(her pension was based on her first husband's (Henry Shinpock) service and

death during the War of 1812), her second husband Philip Letsinger died in

June 1839 and was buried at Hickory Creek Meeting House, Knox County, TN.

Based on census, marriage and probate records, Philip's children were:

Elizabeth Rebecca, John, Sarah, Mary Alice, Frances, Philip, Susan, Daniel

B., Lewis Pettit, Allen, and Jacob, all by his first wife Ann; there were no

known children by his second wife.

===============================

According to "Dictionary of American Family Names", by Patrick Hanks, page 427, the name Letsinger is "Americanized form of German Lutzinger, a habitational name from a place called Lutzingen near Donauworth in Bavaria."In the same source, page 448, the name Litzinger is "German; habitational name for someone from Lutzingen in southern Germany."

Germany:

 From Augsburg look up (direction N) for Donauworth.

 From Donauworth look left and down (direction SW) for Dillingen.

 On a road or line drawn between Donauworth and Dillingen, locate Hochstadt.

Notes for Johann Jacob Hochstattler:

This family came to America on the Ship Harle on September 1, 1736 at Philadelphia Harbor.  With this family there was a Mar Catharina Hochstattler 42 years of age.  Maria Eve was listed as being 28 years of age .  Also  a Michael Hochstattler arrived on the Ship Harle and was listed with the sick.  It is not clear if Michael belonged with our family, I believe that Michael, son of Jacob and Maria Eva was born on board the ship to America.

Book -"Pennsylvania German Pioneers" lists the Ship Harle - landed in Philadelphia on September 1, 1736, List A spelled Jacob Hochstettler, List B Jacob Hofstedler and List C Jacob Hoffstadler. List C shows that he made his mark (X), so he could not write and they would have had to go by the sound. That would account for the different spellings.
