KIGER: Burial: Nazereth Lutheran Church, Rural Hall, NC Notes for SARAH MISAMORE: There are a number of descendants of this family living in Stokes County today, as well as those who have moved to other parts of the country. Some members spell the name Petrie, and other ways. The founder of the family in Stokes County followed the path of both the German and Scotch Irish settlers of Western Pennsylvania who moved south along the "Great Wagon Road" seeking affordable land. The first member in America was Johan Jacob Petry (sometimes spelled Petri in old records), who arrived from Germany when he was 21. Jacob Petri settled in Pennsylvania, married Ana Eve Kuehlinthere and this couple reared a sizeable family before moving to North Carolina. Records indicate that he was a shoemaker, but land records, estate papers, will, etc. after he reached this area all show that farming was his primary occupation in this state. Land was the lure that encouraged both Jacob and his adult sons to move from Pennsylvania Jacob Petree included the fact that he served as a patriot during the American Revolution and furnished sundries and supplies to the militia More About SARAH MISAMORE: Burial: Marvin UMC Children of ABRAHAM KIGER and SARAH MISAMORE are: i.
