Jacob and Magdalena (Hite) Chrisman

Born: c1701, near Worms, Rhineland-Palatine (Germany)
Died: between 8 Aug 1777 and 7 Oct 1777, Frederick Co., Virginia
Married: about 1728 to Magdalena Hite

Member of the first settlement west of the Blue Ridge mountains, led by Jost Hite in 1732. Settled in Opequon, six miles south of Winchester, Frederick Co., Virginia. Descendants may also be interested in the Hite Family Association.

Birth & Parentage of Jacob

To date, virtually nothing regarding Jacob's origins prior to 1732 has been proven. Many conflicting claims have been published, many of which are clearly erroneous. His parentage, date of birth, precise birthplace, date of immigration, etc., all remain unproven. However, there is good reason to believe that he may have been a son of the widow Elizabeth Christman who immigrated to the Hudson valley with two young children in 1710.

In 1709, several thousand German families fled their homeland for England. In 1710, several hundred of these families joined a work party sent to the New York Hudson valley. This group included Jacob Chrisman's future father-in-law, Jost Hite, along with many of the families who moved with Jost Hite to the Winchester, Virginia area in 1732, in the first settlement west of the blue ridge. Also enumerated in censuses of this group were two Christman families: the family of a Hans Christman, and of a widow Elizabeth Christman. We can conclude that Hans was not the father of the Jacob Chrisman who married Magdalena Hite (see Hans/John Chrisman, 1710 immigrant to NY), leaving Elizabeth as the remaining possibility. A census of the work party in 1710 showed Elizabeth to have two children born between 1700 and 1702, one of which may have been a young Jacob Chrisman.

If Jacob was indeed one of Elizabeth's children, he would have left German as a young lad, probably around seven or eight years of age, and arrived in New York under ten years of age. In all likelihood, he probably followed Jost Hite south to an area near Germantown and Philadelphia around 1720, marrying Jost Hite's daughter there around 1728, and moving in 1732 to Frederick Co., Virginia.

False and Unsubstantiated Claims

Numerous incorrect and unsubstantiated claims regarding the origins of Jacob Chrisman have been published and circulated. I will note some of these here. All have either been proven false, or are extremely unlikely. None have any basis in known records.

Several articles appearing near the end of the 19^th century made the claim that Jacob immigrated from Bavaria or Swabia around 1730. For all practical purposes, these claims have been disproven.

There is no evidence that Jacob immigrated with brothers named Isaac and Abraham.

It is extremely unlikely that Jacob was a brother of Daniel Chrisman, immigrant of 1730, of Christoph Christmann, immigrant from Zweibrucken in 1736, of Heinrich Craseman/Crossman, immigrant of 1737, or of any other immigrant arriving to the US after 1730.

Evidence strongly suggests Jacob was not the son of Hans Peter Christmann and Anna Gertraud. The baptism of this couple's son Jacob Christmann is recorded in Dalsheim, b. Oct 1705, bp. 12 Sep 1706. However, evidence indicates that this son Jacob died 29 Apr 1790, age 84 years and 6 months, in Stone Arabia, New York.

A great grandson of Jacob and Magdalena (Hite) Chrisman, William Wayne Crismon, apparently wrote in a bible that Jacob was the son of a Col. William Christman. There is no other known confirmation of this claim. Could this have been the widow Elizabeth Christman's husband?

Magdalena (Hite) Chrisman

Baptised: 13 Sept 1713, Kingston, Ulster Co., New York
Died: between 2 Apr 1771 and (?) 8 Aug 1777, presumably Frederick Co., Virginia.

Magdalena was the daughter of Hans Jost Hite (b. 5 Dec 1685 in Bonfield, Kraichgau, at the northern tip of Baden, d. 1761 Virginia) and Anna Maria Merkle (b. 16 Jan 1687 Bonfield, d. 1739 Virginia). In the spring of 1731, Jost Hite secured a grant of land and organized a group of 16 families to settle in the Shenandoah valley near present-day Winchester, Virginia. He is thus credited in U.S. history books as the first white to settle west of the blue ridge mountains. Origins of Jost Hite and his wife were identified in ["German Origins of Jost Hite, Virginia Pioneer", by Henry Z. Jones, Jr., Ralph Connor, and Klaus West, Edingburg, Va 1979].

Misc. records

Numerous land records involving Jacob Chrisman are found in Frederick Co., Virginia deed books. Some key records include:

1745: Naturalization in Williamsburg, Virginia. It is stated that he was a native of Worms.

2 Apr 1771: Jacob Chrisman and wife to William Goody. Last mention of Magdalena ("wife").

27 May 1772: A will of John Chrisman in Augusta Co., Virginia, identifies the sons of Jacob as Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and Isaac, and their mother as Mary.

8 Aug 1777, recorded 7 Oct 1777: Jacob Chrisman to sons George Christman and Henry Christman, grant of property, slaves, ready money and personal estate. Filed in the book of land grants, but appears to effectively be a will. That Magdalena is not mentioned, and does not give up any rights of dower, also serves to bound her date of death. An indenture was filed between George and Henry Christman on 8 Oct 1778.

Misc. trivia

As of the 1992, Jacob Chrisman's house, built in 1753 (per cornerstone, or 1751 by some sources) still stands and appeared from the outside to be in quite good shape for a house that age. It is found about midway between Stephens City and Middletown and is occupied as a private residence.

Chrisman's Spring was one of the places where early Methodist camp meetings were held. At one of these, Bishop Francis Asbury, "Prophet of the Long Road", stopped for a few hours on Aug 7, 1806, as he noted in his diary.

At Chrismans Spring, Stonewall Jackson made his campsite on the evening of March 23, 1862, following the battle of Kernstown.
