George Peter Deyerle

Biography

Early life in Sulzfeld

Peter Deyerle was born in Sulzfeld which is located in the Duchy of Baden in the Holy Roman Empire. Sulzfeld is now located in Baden-Württemberg in Germany. His father Adam Deuerle was a cooper at the local winery located at Castle Ravensburg_(Sulzfeld). He was one of the younger children of a second marriage and therefore had little chance to inherit anything. He left Sulzfeld and emigrated to the colonies as an indentured servant. He was not listed on the ships manifest since he was a minor at the time.

Growing up in Virginia

He was indentured for 7 years to Hans Jerg (George) Baumann (Bowman). He lived with the family at Harmony Hall ( Fort Bowman ) near Strasburg, Virginia and worked in Bowman's mills. Upon completing his indenture, he married George's daughter Regina Bowman.

Resettled to Salem

He moved his new family to Montgomery County, Virginia (now Roanoke County, Virginia ) near present day Salem, Virginia. He built a fortified homestead sometimes called Fort Deyerle.

Soldier and frontiersman

He was a member of the Virginia Militia, and fought with his Bowman brother-in-laws during the Revolutionary war. He fought under Daniel Boone in the Battle of Blue Licks and his name is recorded on the obelisk monument at the Blue Licks Battlefield State Park in Kentucky.
