According to Briscoe Goodhart’s 1900 book “The German Settlement” it is impossible to give a correct list of the early settlers of “The German Settlement” (today’s Lovettsville, Virginia), but the following names are believed to represent all the German families, given in alphabetical order. [Briscoe Goodhart’s list was obviously not complete, so this page will be evolving as more names are added.]
