Families : Nida Family in America
Posted by Jack Nida on 2005/9/25 3:20:00 (5636 reads)

In 1748, Johann David von Nida was born on the Atlantic ocean as his parents made their way from Germany to America. It is believed that their early years were spent in Maryland or Pennsylvania but it is not known what happened to the parents of David Nida, as he was now called. David?s name is found as "Niday" on many documents. He worked as a chain carrier for a surveyor and was married to a German girl, Mary, about 1774. David owned considerable land in Hampshire and Berkeley Co., VA and was living in Berkeley Co. in 1780. Shortly after this time, he and his family moved to Botetourt Co., VA where he purchased more than 1000 acres of land.
