[1684] "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) cites a source claiming Theophana is probably dau. of Leo Phokas, son of Sophia Phokas by her husband Constantin Skleros, brother of Marie, 1st wife of Basileus John Tsimices. Cf. chart and discussion at http://www.friesian.com/romania.htm#macedon. Her life and times are dramatically portrayed in "The Last Apocalypse: Europe at the Year 1000 A.D.," James Reston, Jr. (New York: Doubleday, 1998), Chapter 11. http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/womeninpower/Womeninpower03.htm offers: "983-91 Regent Dowager Empress Theophano of the Holy Roman Empire - A Byzantine Princess who at the age of seventeen was given to the young Saxon emperor Otto II. Though elegant and a delicate beauty, she was high-spirited and a superb politician who brought with her an intimate knowledge of the intricacies of court life. When her husband died, leaving her with a three year old son, she took the title "Imperator Augustus" and defended her son Otto IIIs title for seven years from those who challenged him. For seven years Theophano with tact and firmness administered the empire in her son's name. She was called by a contemporary 'a woman of discreet and firm character...with truly masculine strength.' Sometimes she used the male title 'imperator augustus', and lived (ca. 955-991)." Cf. http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands and "The Empress Theophano," Adelbert Davids, ed. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995). Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophanu,

See reference under son Daniel. Johannes Adam Piper/Pfeiffer emigrated from Germany to PA ca. 1760. His children: Adam (Jr.), Peter, John, Daniel, Catharine, Conrad, Elizabeth, Jacob, Fannie and Polly. Duane K. Yorke (dkyaz@hotmail.com) shared via e-mail 28 April 2000: "Looks like we're researching the same line. Looks like your Adam Piper is John Adam Piper [or Johan Adam Pfeiffer, if you prefer], born 1728 in Neustadt, Germany, and died 1788 [?] in Amberson Valley, Franklin Co., PA. Immigration: September 24, 1751, Philadelphia, PA. Occupation: farmer. Will: March 1788, will executed. He married CATHARINE ZOLLINGER Abt. 1752 in Churchtown, Lancaster Co., PA, daughter of NICHOLAS ZOLLINGER and BARBARA MILLER [but see notes for Catharine - AEM]. She was born Abt. 1734 in Lancaster Co., PA, and died Aft. 1800 in Amberson Valley, Franklin Co., PA. Got the above notes from a 'cousin' in a 732k txt file which I'm slowly inputting into a database... As you can see, it looks like your 'Catharine Mullinger' is CATHARINE ZOLLINGER. As for Adam Piper's family, some cousins connect him up with a Magnus Pfeiffer, in Germany, but others say MAYBE, but no proof yet..." [Kirchenbuch, 1657-1915 Katholische Kirche Ebnat (OA. Neresheim) lists a baptism at Ebnat Neresheim, Jagstkreis, Wuerttemberg of a Magnus Pfeiffer on 2 Sept 1706, son of Thomas and Maria.] Magnus Pfeiffer r. Neustadt and is purported to have these other children: Daniel Piper (d. in Augusta Co., GA) and Johann Jacob Piper (b. Obersetzen, Germany, d. in 1813)." Also see Harry E. Foreman, "Conococheague Headwaters of Amberson Valley" (1968), p. 108. Family genealogist Paul Boynton [13 Sandpiper Ct., Amherst, NY 14228] reports (unverified): "There are five towns in the present day Germany named Neustadt. Adam's birthplace is the one near Meslemberg Bay on the Baltic Sea, approx. 100 miles northeast of Hamburg and only a few miles east of the former 'cold war' line which divided East and West Germany. As a young man of 23, determined to seek his future in the new world of America, Adam Pfeiffer made the 1,000 mile trek from his Neustadt home to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and with 143 others with similar goals, booked passage on the ship "Neptune", John Mason, Captain, destination the Port of Philadelphia by way of Clowes, England. The ship arrived in Philadelphia September 21, 1751. Three days were required for Adam and all his fellow passengers to appear and swear allegiance to the "Queen's Colony" before a magistrate in her official court. For some unknown reason, the immigration officer in charge insisted that the spelling of the name Pfeiffer be change to Piper, the present spelling. Adam spent the first year in the city of Philadelphia (10th Piper Reunion, Shade Gap, PA). While in Philadelphia, he fell in love and married Catharine Zollinger, daughter of Nicholas and Barbara Miller Zollinger. The Zollinger family arrived in Lancaster County from Ireland in 1750. Nicholas Zollinger served as a member of the Cumberland County Militias in Strassburg, Pennsylvania circa 1760. Later, Adam settled near the village of Churchtown in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased 50 acres of land from the Penn heirs and launched his career in the new world doing what he did best-farming. It had been his ambition to join other German immigrants in Amberson Valley, however due to Indian uprisings, he spent several years near Lancaster. Finally, when the French and Indian war ended, and the danger from the Indian raids had passed, he succeeded in reaching Amberson Valley. Adam soon heard of the more fertile valleys of the mountainous chains to the West. In 1755 or 1756, he and Catharine sold their land and, with their young son (and Catharine again pregnant), packed their belongings and headed in that direction. They reached the old Tuscarora trail and, in Amberson Valley, four miles east of the village of Amberson, and established their permanent home with the purchase of 80 acres of this fruitful soil. Adam was prolific and considered to be a man of some means. The details of the property owned by him at the time of his death indicates the thriftiness of these "Pennsylvania Deutsch" ancestors, and by the various items listed, an insight into the tools and equipment of a pioneer Amberson Valley farm. Original will and inventory of estate are on file in the Probate Court Records, Chambersburg, Franklin County, PA. (Adam Piper NO. 103, Adam 129 or 127 1788). The small Piper cemetery in Amberson Valley was on the edge of Adam's farm. The spring-house nearby still exists, but is quite deteriorated. No other original buildings remain. There are 14 names on a large monument, 4 stones that are non-standing but legible, and 1 other stone partially broken. The Piper cemetery is located 3.5 miles north of Amberson, Franklin Co., PA - locally, there is an annual Piper reunion, held at Amberson, PA on the first Sunday of September.
THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF ADAM PFEIFFER--Written March 26, 1788 [probated 6 May 1788]: 'In the name of God, Amen. The twenty-first day of March in the year of our Lord, 1788, I Adam Pfeiffer of Fannet Township, Franklin County, being very sick in body, but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be given to God for the same, and calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, do make and ordain this my last will and testament, that is to say, principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul into the hands of God who gave it, and for my body I recommend it to the earth to be buried in a Christian like and decent manner at the direction of my executors, nothing doubting but at the general resurrection I shall receive the same again by the mighty power of God. And as touching such worldly estate wherewith it has pleased God to bless me in this life, I give, devise and dispose of the same in manner and form following, that is to say: In the first place, I give and bequeath to Catharine my beloved wife, my bed whereon I am now lying and bedstead also. I give to my beloved wife the full possession of the plantation wherein I live now, with all the benefits thereof and likewise also as long as she is a widow, shall she keep the benefits of all the bond belonging unto me for life, also a cow she shall have at first before the appraisement shall begin, also a pair of silver buckles. N.B. No interest is to go to my wife until the plantation is paid whereon I am now living. Also I bequeath to my well beloved son, Adam Pfeiffer, Jr five pounds lawful currency, and then join in equal shares with the remainder of my children. Likewise I do allow every one of my children to live with their mother until they are of age, except they go with their mother's consent. ADAM PFEIFFER (Seal) Witnesses: John Sherman, George DeLong, John Ward.'
- an Adam PIPER appears on the 1786 Tax Listing for Fannet Township, Franklin Co., PA - was not buried in the PIPER family burial plot, but in a grave a short distance south of the plot; the family plot was not selected until some years after the interment of Adam PIPER, Sr. More About JOHN/JOHANNES ADAM PFEIFFER/ PIPER, SR.: Immigration: September 24, 1751, Philadelphia, PA; Naturalization: 1777, Lancaster Co., PA; Occupation: farmer; Residence: Churchtown, Lancaster Co., PA; Residence (2): Amberson, Franklin Co., PA; Will: March 1788, will executed. The disposition of his real estate indicates that Adam owned 196 acres in Amberson Valley - it was purchased from the heirs by his son, Daniel, 17 Oct 1805 and valued at $1525."
Fannett Twp. was included in Cumberland County prior to 1784, first seen in the records of that county in 1761. Because of its long narrow shape, it is said to be named for Fannett, or Fanod Point, a promontory and lighthouse in County Donegal on the northern coast of Ireland. With Metal Twp. it formed the path which the Tuscaroras took in 1713 when they left their home in North Carolina, thus the area is called "Path Valley".
