On 11 Oct 1732, at age 28, Johan CASPAR WENDEROTH signed an oath of allegiance to the English King George II. He settled at Fredericksburg, Md. (formerly in Prince George Co., now in what is Frederick Co., Md. This is part of what was Orange County or "Old Augusta".

The original oath of allegiance document, signed by Johann WENDEROTH and forty-one other emigrants on 11 Oct 1732, is preserved in the Pennsylvania Archives at Harrisburg and the complete text is as follows: "We subscribers, natives and late inhabitants of the Palatinate upon the Rhine and places adjacent, having transported ourselves and families into the Province of Pennsylvania, a colony subject to the Crown of Great Britain, in hopes and expectations of finding a retreat and peaceable settlement therein -- Do solemnly promise and engage that we will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his present Majesty, King George the Second and his successors Kings of Great Britain, and will be faithful to the Proprietor of this Province, and that we will demean ourselves peaceably to all his Majesty's subjects, and strictly observe and conform to the Laws of England and of this Province to the utmost of our power and best of our understanding."

Prior to about 1735, the settlements on the Monocacy River (near the present site of Frederick) were the westernmost habitations in Maryland. Only ten miles east of the Blue Ridge foothills and directly in the path of westward movement, there were about a half-dozen families settled along the Monacacy by 1732. The settlement grew rapidly; the town of Frederick was laid out in 1745 and the new county of Frederick was created from Prince George County three years later in 1748. The first extant statement concerning the Reformed Congregation at Frederick is that of a minister who visited in 1747, baptizing twenty-six children and organizing support from forty-nine heads of families. In 1767 the Reformed Congregation wrote (in German) a church constitution signed by the members of the community, and among the eighty-nine heads of families is the name "WINTEROTT".
