Important Note

In this book, W.I. Utterback incorrectly places multiple descendants of Johannes Otterbach (b. 1659) under his brother, Hermann Otterbach (b. 1664 who married Elsbeth Heimbach), ^[1] in his determination to have Hermann as the single "fountain head" from whom all American Utterbacks descended (thru Hermann's sons John Phillip (b. 1692) and John (b. 1702)). ^[2]

Benjamin Clark Holtzclaw corrected these mistakes in his book Ancestry and Descendants of the Nassau-Siegen Immigrants to Virginia 1714-1750, ^[3] showing that these Utterbacks in Virginia came from a different son of Johannes, Johann Henrich Otterbach (b. 1698), and a grandson, also named Johann Henrich Otterbach (b. 1714). In this uncle-nephew team that were in the 1734 Little Fork, Virginia group, the uncle is known as Henry "the elder" and the nephew as Henry "the younger". ^[4]

This page has Holtzclaw's corrections and shows the differences in table format.
