Our Family Chronicle begins with a young boy of 14 or 15 years old. One can only imagine his thoughts in 1741 when he stepped aboard his ship the Molly in Rotterdam, Holland. He was alone and bound for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I wonder if his father and brother were there to wish him well as he left. He had a monumental task set before him he was the first of his family to set off to the New World. When his ship left Deal, England, did he marvel at the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean? I would like to think that he did. His name was Johan Peter Bender when he arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on October 10, 1741, did he thank Captain Thomas Olive for bringing him safely to his new life. When he took the Oath of Allegiance on October 17, 1741, could he even imagine what he was starting? His name was changed to John Peter Painter he preferred Peter Painter maybe because it was easier for him to write. On January 15, 1748, in what is now Page County, Virginia My story would not be complete unless I thanked the following people. My Dad Charles Andrew Painter even though you are now in heaven I know that you are proud of what I have accomplished. I will always treasure the times that we worked on this together. My Uncle Melvin Holt, who I am convinced, could teach genealogy at the college level. Thank you for all your help, loving assistance and for always keeping me on track. To Aunt Arlena Painter our true family historian, Thank you for getting me interested in our family history and for all the love and support that you have given me throughout this journey. Without your help this would have never been possible. Thank you my wonderful family. Thanks for putting up with me as I did my research and for listening to me go on and on with each new discovery. Last but certainly not least thank you my Painter family both generations near and far. Without you this chronicle would not have been possible. It is my fondest wish A few years ago, more than I care to admit my Aunt and Cousin put together a Painter Family book entitled " Never Ending Trails of the Painter's". I never gave them enough credit for all their hard work. I thought that I had until I started to research our family where they began. Right now I think they both deserve a Medal of Honor! This journey has most definitely turned into a never-ending trail. There were times when I was convinced that our family were the first members of the Witness Protection Program. However I have learned to keep going step by step and trail by trail. I would rejoice whenever I found anything. Even if it was just a name that at least gave me enough to keep going. One day I was very frustrated I had been looking everywhere for James Hugh Painter and his wife Nancy Burkeholder. Then by chance or fate I am not sure which I happened upon the Will of John Peter Painter. In his will he listed 14 children!

Now comes the fun part, depending on how you look at this, ha. Trying to trace John Peter and Catherine Painter's 14 Children. I am going to list what I have I am hoping that it is right but if we never take a chance we may never know. There were as far as I can tell two main Painter families. Henry Painter who came to Botetourt County around 1796 and John Peter Painter who came around 1785. I have tried to the best of my ability to include only John Peter and Catherine Painter's children. However, both families lived very close together so I am sure there will be some errors. If you find one please let me know so that it can be changed. Also if you know more information Please contact me so that it can be added. I am sending this chronicle to as many familes as I can. Hopefully in a few years we will have an accurate record of their lives. 1.

That is about all I have for our early ancestors. The rest is pure guess work at this point. If you will notice: 1. John Peter Painter did not marry Catherina Frey she was of the Woodstock Painter family. 2. William did not marry Mary Prathor of Washington County, TN. he was of the Adam Painter family. I hope that this helps you in your research. Again please feel free to contact me with any questions or new information. Also if you wish, give this to any fellow Painter researchers. I look forward to hearing from you. Best Wishes, Vicky Painter Sullivan September 21, 2000
