- Eaker, p. 133:
"22 Jan 1813 William Harman [Johannes Wilhelm/William Herrmann/Herman] willed to Mary Deal."
The entry for this family was based mainly on:
http://www.jim-herman.net/johanneswilhelmherman.htm
"Johannes Wilhelm Herrmann signed a will on 22 Jan 1813 in Lincoln/Catawba County, NC, six months before his death on 29 Jun 1813 in Lincoln/Catawba County, NC. This is the only written documentation about him in North Carolina, although there is reference to and about him in notes and documentation from others.
He was buried at Old St. Paul's Church Cemetery, Newton, NC. Inscription in the church records reads: 'Aged 77 years, William Herman, whose German name was Johannes Herrmann, was born in 1736 in Germany.' The tombstone inscription reads: 'Wm. Herman, b. 1736 d. 1813.'
. . .
Wilhelm/William and Catherine Herrmann/Herman and their children, William Jr., George, Peter, Michael, Catherine, and Mary became active and useful citizens of their Lyles Creek community near Newton and Cononver, NC. They were members and officers in the German Reformed churches of St. Paul's and St. John's near Newton and Conover."

"1. Johannes Wilhelm (William) HERMAN1,2 was born about 1736 in Germany.3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 He signed a will on 22 January 1813 in Lincoln County, North Carolina. He died on 29 June 1813 at the age of 77 in Lincoln (Catawba County), North Carolina.5,8,10,11 Johannes was buried in Old St. Paul's Church Cemetery, Newton, Catawba County, NC.11 Inscription reads: Aged 77 years John William Herman, whose German name was Johannes Wilhelm Herrmann, was born in 1736 in Germany. He married Catherine Motz (Motes) and to them was born a son, George. In mid-year 1766 William and his family boarded the ship Polly, Robert Porter, Master of ship, at Rotterdam to sail to the new land of America. Upon arriving in the American port of Philadelphia, William signed his name as Johann Wm. Herman and swore the Oath of Allegiance on 18 October 1766. It was written that William was "from Rotterdam, but last from Cowles. Later, William and his family settled in Berks County, near Reading, Pennsylvania. Here William owned land in Long Swamp, Ruscombe Manor and Heresford Townships (Series II Pa. Archives Vol. XVlII). The last tax listing for William Herman was in 1785, in which were listed 100 acres of land, three horses, two cows, and eight family members.
Miss Estelle Herman, a great, great granddaughter of William, pioneer, remembered hearing about two Herman brothers who came from Pennsylvania to North Carolina on horseback to look the country over. On their trip, when they camped for the night, they tied their horses so they could graze while they slept. North Carolina appealed to them so much that they decided to move their families here. Some Herman notes written by Polly Killian in 1876 said: "Came to North Carolina in 1779. Moved to North Carolina in 1786. Settled on Lyles creek and entered land which has been handed down from father to son till the present time. George Herman, second son of Wilhelm, came to North Carolina in 1781."
Wilhelm Herman died 29 June 1813 at the age of 77 years and was buried in the cemetery of St. Paul's Lutheran Church near Newton. His wife, Catherine, died in March 1811 at the age of 77 years and is also buried in the same cemetery.. Wilhelm (William) and Catharine Herman and their children, William Jr., George, Peter, Michael, Catharine, and Mary became active and useful citizens of their chosen communities. They were members of, and often officers in the German Reformed churches of St. Paul's and St, John's near Newton and Conover respectively.
