Major Peter Helphistine, of Winchester, was a native of Germany, and a patriot
of the American Revolution. He was a major in the 8th Virginia Regiment,
commanded by Col. Muhlenberg. This corps was composed of young men of German
extraction, and frequently called the German regiment. In a campaign at the
south, he contracted a disease from exposure, returned, and died in Winchester,
and now lies buried in the Lutheran grave-yard.
