The Rev. William A. Helffrich's 19th century records have been
translated into English and posted on the Web. They include

records are primarily German Reformed, although Ziegels Church
has had a Lutheran congregation share as a partner in ministry
for more than 250 years.

He purchased twelve hundred acres and created an estate that included stables, tennis courts, gardens and a nine-hole golf course. He named it "Weymouth" because it reminded him of Weymouth in England.

His grandsons, James and Jackson, were frequent visitors. Since they were very fond of fox hunting, they founded the Moore County Hounds in 1914. After World War I they divided the original home of their grandfather................
