  General Notes:

I found this information on Ancestry.com

"Jackob Fillinger, to the best of our knowledge, was born in Hanover, Germany. In 1775 he lived in Penna., USA and in 1776 enlisted in the Revolutionary War under General Green and fought for four years in Va. and North Carolina. At the close of the war he moved with his family to Rockbridge County, Va and is supposed to have died there.

"Soon after his sons Henry and Jacob moved to Montgomery Co., VA near Blacksburg. From there Henry moved to Logan Co., Va (Now West Virginia), and was supposed to have taken his father's (Jacob Fillinger) family Bible (German) with him. When last heard of, through John Fillinger, his descendents were living just south of Chicago.

"His brother, Jacob Fillinger, married Elizabeth Songer and moved near Pearisburg, Va. They had 13 children. When their son John started west he also went to Logan Co., and took his father's family Bible (German) with him. We know nothing of his descendants".
