Diehl also known as " Teal" and " Deal."
1761: Samuel Diehl is shown, under the name "Samuel Teal," as first taxable on the 1761 Tax List located in the Loudoun Co., VA, courthouse.
Samuel Diehl was believed to have served for the Colonies as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He served two terms of enlistment of ninemonths each.
1784 (or 1785): In 1784 (or 1785), Samuel Diehl and his family (9 children), mother in law, Mrs. Ritchey, and two brothers, Philip "Deal" and George "Deal", moved from Loudoun Co., Virginia to Bedford Co., PA and settled in Friends Cove (Colerain Twp.). Samuel died on his old farm near Ott's Mill in 1828 and is buried in the old grave yard on the Bowser farm, owned by William Beegle (as of 1976).
1785: Family legend moves Samuel and his family, his mother in law (Mrs. Ritchey), and Philip and George Diehl (not brothers ?) to Friends Cove, Bedford Co., PA, in 1784. However, his son, Daniel, was baptized13 April 1785 in the New Jerusalem Lutheran Church near Lovettsville,Loudoun Co., VA, so, although perhaps the homestead was purchased in 1784, the move was probably made in the summer of 1785. There is a " Samuel Deal" listed in the 1785 Colerain Twp. tax assessments, as well as a Philip and a George " Deal."
1785: Samuel "Deal" listed in the 1785 Colerain Twp tax assessments, as well as a Philip and a George Deal."
1788: A History of Fulton Co., IL, states that the family resided near Harrisburg before moving to Bedford
County. There is a record of Samuel Diehl and Margaret Diehl having received patents for land in Colerain Twp., Bedford Co., PA in 1788 {sothat date would seem to be the most accurate one {? William D. Roudabush questions
accuracy ?} for when they settled on the farm where they would remain. This farm was six miles from the south branch of the Juniata River (called Raystown Branch). In later days people used to build what theycalled arks, load them with produce, and float them down the river toColumbia. There they would sell boat and all.
1828: Samuel farmed all his life and died at home near Ott's Mill, Friends Cove, Bedford Co., PA in 1828. He is buried in the old graveyardon the Bowser Farm, but no stone marks his resting place.
19 Sep 1890: Family legend also has Samuel participating in the Revolutionary War. An address given at the Diehl Family Reunion, 19 September 1890, states that " he served two terms of enlistment of nine months each. Doubtless he had an honorable discharge among his papers, butit and the big family Bible, printed in German and fastened with brass clasps, have disappeared and no trace of them can be found."
From the genealogy written by E.H. Diehl: (1976) "Samuel Diehl, progenitor of one of the prominent branches of the numerous Diehl families in America, was born in 1740 and resided in Loudoun Co., Virginia where most of his children were born, quite a number of years. His wife was a Miss Ritchey [Margaretha Ritchey, daughter of Philip Ritchey]. Hedid service for the Colonies as a soldier in the Revolutionary War. In 1784 he and his family, his mother in law, Mrs. Ritchey and Philip Diehl and George Diehl came up into Bedford Co., PA and settled in Friends Cove. Samuel and Philip soon became owners of good sized farms. George operated a distillery several years. Eventually the latter two disappeared from the county, leaving no known record of their destiny or descendants. Samuel stuck to the soil, as have thousands of his industrious progeny in generations since. He died on his old home farm near Ott's Mill, in 1828, and is buried in the old grave yard on the Bowser Farm, now owned by William Beegle." (as of 1976).
1884, "History of Bedford, Somerset and Fulton Counties", P974.871HI:pp. 353- 355; P974.871HI: Colerain Twp. was organized as a township of Cumberland county, prior to the formation of Bedford county in 1771. Its original dimensions cannot now be ascertained, though there is evidence that they covered nearly one third of the present territory of the county. The nearness of Friend's Cove to Fort Bedford was favorable to early settlement, and the white man came early to this beautiful valley. During the trying times that ensued, the pioneers bore themselves with firmness and courage. The revolutionary period presented the darkest scenes in the early history of Bedford county, and the inhabitants of Friend's Cove were subjected, during that time, to the greatest dangers and hardships. The reader is referred to the general history for an account of the contests between the white men and the Indians. Friend's cove is a fertile and beautiful valley, encompassed by mountains on three sides. The soil is more than usual fertility, and theland, though somewhat stoney, is valuable to agriculturists. The first pioneers generally located at or very near the foot of the mountains, on what would now be considered the least valuable portions of the valley. The reason for this was, doubtless, the fear of frosts, which were very prevalent along the bottom lands and in all low places. JohnFriend, for whom the cove is named, secured a title to a tract of land lying at the southern end of the borough of Rainsburg, which was patented to him as "Friend's Retreat" in 1762....... cont}
