Children: Born at Weiler, under Steinsberg, near Sinsheim on the Elsenz, Rhenish Palatinate, Now in Baden.

In Germany he was head of his guild at Weyler ì The craft guilds as well as others, appointed a master and subordinate officers, made ordinances, including provisions for religious observance, mutual help and burial, and enforced regulations against fraudulent workmanship. The art of linen weaving, with its inventions, combinations and embellishments, was then classed among the fine arts, and men of birth and education were accustomed to practice it. These guilds became of such importance, that their law grew to be that of the commune or town, and the heads of which were concerned in its government.
Caspar Spengler, as the head of his guild at Weyler, was therefore, from the very nature of his position, an official of weight,consideration and authority. Artisans were very much desired by William Penn, whose cardinal principle, so strongly emphasized  in the settlement of Pennsylvania, was that the learning of a trade was the fittest equipment for colonization. ì11
 


 


 

Sailed from Rotterdam on the William and Sarah in summer of 1727. Arrived Philadelphia in Sept of 1727.  Master William Hill. ìThe ship contained one hundred and nine male Palatines, above the age of 16 years, who with their familes numbered about four hundred persons... the male immigrants of the ship, above the age of sixteen, appeared at the Court House in Philadelphia, September  21st, 1727, before the board: Honorable Patrick Gordon, Esq., Lieut. Governor, James Logan, Richard Hill and William Fishbourn, Esqs., and repeated and subscribed the following
Declaration of Allegiance:
"We Subscribers, Natives and late Inhabitants of the Palatinate upon the Rhine & Places adjacent, having transported ourselves and Families into this Province Pensilvania, a Colony subject to the Crown of Great Britain, in hopes and Expectation of finding a Retreat & peaceable settlement therein, Do Solemnly promise & Engage, that We will be faithful & bear true Allegiance to his present MAJESTY KING GEORGE THE SECOND, and his Successors Kings of Great Britain, and will be faithfull to the Proprietor of this Province; And that we will demean ourselves peaceably to all His said Majesties Subjects, and strictly observe & conform to the laws of England and this Province, to the ulmost of our power and the best of our understanding."   8
 
 
 

Casper, ìwithin two years after his arrival plunged into the wilderness and became one of the very earliest permanent settlers west of the  Susquehanna, the first authorized settlement being made here in 1729. Lancaster counties, to go directly to their contemplated places of settlement west of the Susquehanna. They brought with them their iron-bound chests, one generally for each family, and in them were found homespuns and the most important household utensils. One or two covered wagons, sometimes their own, frequently the property of settlers in eastern counties of kindred nationality, were invoked to haul their wives, children and possessions to the locality selected for their future homes. In these wagons were stored household effects and some of the most essential but rude implements of husbandry, such as the wooden  plow, the scythe, the hoe and sickle. The strongest and sturdiest went ahead, and with axes cleared away in the uninhabited sections the impeding obstructions, such as fallen trees and hanging vines, and made passable the streams necessary to cross. The deep morasses and savannas traversed are now embraced among the most fertile and productive farms in this Commonwealth.
 

ìCaspar Spengler located with the "Permission of the State Proprietaries of the Province," and in virtue of the right of "Squatter Sovereignty" seven hundred and eleven acres of lime-stone land about one and a half miles east of that portion of the banks of the"Katores" on which York-Town was thirteen years later laid out. The plantation began at the northern range of hills and extended across what was later designated as the "Great Road leading from York-Town to Lancaster." It embraced the present magnificent Kohr, Schotzberger, Weidman, Matthews, and Keesey (lower portion) and several other farms. A deed for 385 acres thereof was executed by Thomas Penn to Caspar Spengler, October 30, 1736, the main consideration being settlement and improvements.Bernhard Spengler, a son of Caspar, December 1st, 1767, acquired the warrant and title to the northern section of 326 1/2 acres.The southern portion, bisected by the "Great Road," was conducted by Caspar in conjunction with his youngest son, Philip Caspar Spengler.

ìShortly after the above occupation and settlement, Caspar located a tract of land of seven hundred and nineteen acres, seven miles west of the Codorus Creek, "near the Little Conewago  Creek on the Conogocheague Road" (now the York and Gettysburg Turnpike,) on which he placed his sons, Jonas and Rudolph. A warrant for the same was issued October 16, 1738, to Caspar, who assigned his interest therein to his said two sons, and to whom patents were subsequently granted. The particulars attending this pre-emption will be found in subsequent pages. Caspar Spengler and his associate settlers were subjected to great inconveniences during the first decade of their settlement for want of suitable houses, mills and many family necessities.î12

Burial and Will Abstract:
 

ìCaspar Spengler died in the year 1760, aged 76 years, and was buried in the private family graveyard, about eighty feet square, on his plantation one and a half miles east of York adjoining the "Great Road to Lancaster." This burial ground was substantially enclosed, and had a fenced roadway thereto seventeen feet wide from the "Great Road" for mourning trains to pass over to   perform the last rites of sepulture. In it were also interred his wife Judith, his sons Bernhard, Philip Caspar and other members and descendants of the family, as well as the remains of a few immediate neighbors. Gravestones with the usual mortuary inscriptions marked this last resting place, so that subsequent generations could not err in locating their dust.
 Fifty years ago these memorial tablets were still standing. Today not a vestige remains. Upon the decay of the fenced enclosure,  the vandal farmers--tenants of the successors to the title of the land surrounding the graveyard--began to encroach upon it, reducing it finally to one half its original area; the fenced roadway greed appropriated, and the destruction was completed." 13
 
 


 

ìCaspar Spengler's will was duly probated in the Register's Office in York, April 28th, 1760. His wife Judith and all his children,except Mary, wife of Col. Michael Swoope, survived him. "13

Children:


ìWas born at Weyler, under Steinsberg, near Sinsheim, in the Rhenish Palatinate, (now in Baden), September 3, 1719, and died in York, Pa., in 1804. He was naturalized in Philadelphia, September 24, 1762. (See Rudolph). The christian name of his wife was Anna Margaretha. He resided on the plantation of 326 1/2 acres which his father Caspar acquired by occupation and improvement, in 1728, and which was later patented to him, Bernhard. This land is now owned by Daniel Kohr and sons, and others, (ed note, entry dated 1898) and is distant about one and a half miles Northeast of York. In prospecting this section the attention of Bernhard and his  father were arrested by the magnificent timber, the trees being as straight as arrows and of extraordinary height and circumference. Here Bernhard determined to settle, and immediately began the construction of the settler's log-house. What was one hundred and sixty-seven years ago an unbroken forest is now a veritable garden. ...Bernhard later in life, and prior to 1780 purchased the lot and house, No. 172, (65 feet), on the North side of West Philadelphia street, York, now owned by J. W. Buckingham, and Mrs. John Palmtag, (ed note, entry dated 1898) and in which he died in 1804, aged 85 years. ì28

ìA deed for 385 acres thereof was executed by Thomas Penn to Caspar Spengler, October 30, 1736, the main consideration being settlement and improvements.  Bernhard Spengler, a son of Caspar, December 1st, 1767, acquired the warrant and title to the northern section of 326 1/2 acres.The southern portion, bisected by the "Great Road," was conducted by Caspar in conjunction with his youngest son, Philip Caspar Spengler. ì13

Birth: 1 Mar 1721/22, Weyler, Heidelberg, Bayern Germany 5
Death: 1782, York Co, PA 5
Burial: Pigeon Hill Ch, Paradise Twn., PA 5
Father: Hans Kaspar**îCasperî SPENGLER
Mother: Judith** ZIEGLER
Spouse: Barbara 5
Children:

î Rudolph was born March 1, 1721, at Weyler, under Steinsberg, on the Elsenz, in the Rhenish Palatinate, now in Baden, and came with his father and mother and brothers Jonas and Bernhard and sister Anna Maria, to America in 1727. He was naturalized  September 24, 1762. His brother Jonas and he, prior to 1738, were located by their father on 719 acres of land near the Little  Conewago Creek, on the "Conococheague Road," afterwards in Paradise township, (now Jackson), seven miles West of York, subsequently known as the Spangler Valley. Every acre of this tract forty years ago was occupied and owned by Spanglers. (ed note: entry dated 1898)ì29 The Warrant for that land is here given in Link.
ìOn an accurate survey made of the same in 1765 in pursuance of a second warrant issued by the Surveyor General in 1763, this tract measured seven hundred and nineteen acres and allowance, of which 363 acres and 154 perches, western portion, were patented to Rudolph Spengler, in trust for the wife and children of Jonas, then deceased. A copy of the original warrant of October 16th, 1738, issued by Thomas Penn, and on file in the interior department at Harrisburg, will be found under the title of Rudolph Spengler, (Son of Caspar). ì19î Thomas Penn, and Richard Penn, through John Penn, true and Absolute Proprietors and Governors in Chief of the Province of Pennsylvania, dated the 14th day of October, 1767, the 7th year of the Reign of King George the Third over Great Britain, etc., and the 50th year of the said Proprietors' Government.í .....The deed is endorsed, "Patent Rudolph Spengler, Spenglesberg, York county." This 356 tract was bounded by lands of Jacob  Wiest, John Myers, Philip Crist, John Appleman, and the said heirs of Jonas Spengler, deceased. The consideration for this patent to Rudolph was the payment of 50 pounds, 8 shillings lawful money of Pennsylvania, and the yearly Quit Rent of one half  penny sterling for every acre thereof, if the same thereof is coin current according as the exchange shall be between said Province and the City of London. ì30 ìThis entire tract was then a dense forest, and as late as 1769 only 15 acres of the tract was in grain. His widow was then assessed 3 horses, 2 cows and 2 sheep. The large springs upon it were favorite places for the wigwams of the Indians, and around one of which, as late as thirty years ago, arrow heads and tomahawks were annually ploughed up in great abundance. ì19 ìThe grant was in "free and common socage by fealty in lieu of all other services, and included all the Mines, Minerals, Quarries, Marshes, Savannahs, Swamps, Cripples, Woods, Underwoods, Trees, Timbers, Ways, Waters, Watercourses, Liberties, Profits, Commodities, Advantages, Hereditaments, and Appurtenances, whatsoever thereto belonging. Three full and clear fifths parts of  all the Royal Mines, free from all deductions and reprisals, for digging and refining the same and also one fifth part of the ore of  all other mines delivered at the Pitts Mouth only excepted and hereby reserved." 22
ìIn 1769 Rudolph was assessed 15 acres of grain, 3 horses, 3 cows and 2 sheep. He, by articles of agreement dated April 12, 1781,  sold the 356 acres of land to Henry Spengler and Bernhard Spengler, his sons, for 480 pounds, reserving fifty acres thereof for    his own use during his life. After Rudolph's death, his widow, Barbara, and his children executed deeds dated March 13, 1787, to said Henry and Bernhard for said land; the land conveyed to Henry being bounded by lands of Philip Crist, and contained 180 acres, and allowance of six per cent. of roads, etc., and the consideration paid being 225 pounds sterling. Upon the death of Henry, two of his sons, John and Rudolph, acquired the title to the same by purchase. On April 15, 1833, John and Rudolph by deed made a division of this land, the portion taken by Rudolph measuring 101 acres and 61 perches. This tract in Jackson township, (formerly Paradise) was purchased by David Myers in 1857, from the administrators of Rudolph Spengler, deceased; and is now owned by Jonas Myers, heir of David Myers, deceased (ed. Note: Text written 1898) The large spring on this tract was, during the Indian occupation, the camping ground of the red man. Tomahawks by the score and arrow-heads by the hundred were found around it  forty years ago, upon the forests being felled and the soil turned up by the plough. ì31ìRudolph Spengler died about 1782 and his remains were interred in the Pigeon Hill churchyard. Letters of administration on his personal estate were granted November 9, 1784, to Philip Jacob and his wife Barbara (late the widow of the said Rudolph Spengler,) and George Kann, one of his sons-in-law. The administration account was stated by the distinguished Revolutionary Soldier, Congressman and Lawyer, Col. Thomas Hartley,1 and filed in the Register's office of York county, Pa., November 27, 1789.î 32

Historical Context
ìA few years after Caspar's occupation of his first plantation the notorious Col. Thomas Cressap & others, under authority from the Governor of Maryland, & in virtue of an alleged patent to the latter from the King of Great Britain, assumed the right to oust by force the German settlers west of the Susquehanna with the purpose of occupying these fertile lands themselves. For years an armed conflict was waged. The invaders were finally ejected & peace restored. In an indictment found against these encroachers mention is made of the lands in the "quiet and possession" of Caspar Spengler. A detailed account of this famous Maryland  intrusion & war will be found under the title of Henry Spengler. ì13
