Hi Cousin,
It sure is fun to make connections and know that we have another cousin to share with! It is amazing to me how many people we are all related to!
There is a lot of information on this family at the www.germanna.org site. They are adding things all of the time and also have reunions in July at the Germanna location in VA. We have wanted to go to one of the reunions but haven't made it yet.
Below are a couple of quotes from the Germanna Record #12, written in 1970.

"The German name was probably Oehler, which is the way it is usually spelled in the Hebron Church records and the way it was spelled by Henry Aylor, No.2 below, in various documents. Several other spellings occur in the records, but the name has for a long time usually been spelled Aylor. The Aylor family is treated briefly in Germanna Record No.6 (pp. 51-2) and they and the Tanners are the only descendants of Henry Snyder, the 1717 Germanna colonist, and his wife Dorothy (Germanna Record No.6, p. 40). Henry Snyder, in his will dated Nov. 30, 1742, probated in Orange Co., Va. Mar. 26, 1747, left all his property to his wife Dorothea, to his daughter Anna Magdalena Aler, widow, and to her children Henry Aler and Elizabeth Tanner. The records do not show the first name of Anna Magdalena's husband, though he was probably a John Pieter Oehler who landed at Philadelphia on the ship "Thistle" June 19, 1730. Whether this identification is correct or not, in any case the Aylors do not seem to have been among the 1717 Germanna colonists, but came over later with their two children to join Anna Magdalena's parents in Orange Co. This is confirmed by the fact that Anna Magdalena's son, Heniy Aylor, was naturalized April 19, 1745 (Giuseppi "Naturalization of Foreign Protestants in the American and West Indian Colonies," p. 9) , showing that he was born in Germany. He must have been at least 21 in this year, so born about 1724. The tradition in the Aylor family is that they lived some time near Essen Germany, where they were iron workers; but Henry Aylor's naturalization shows that he was a native of Wuertemberg. The article on the Aylors in Germanna Record N0. 6 is, then, in error, in stating that Henry Aylor was born in this country. written by Sarah Aylor Lewis"

"First Generation
1. ______Aylor (perhaps John Peter above) was born approximately 1695-1700 in Germany and died prior to 1742, probably in Virginia. He married, probably prior to 1717, Anna Magdalena Snyder, daughter of the 1717 colonists Henry and Dorothy Snyder, and after his death she became the second wife of the 1717 Germanna colonist, John Harnsberger, who mentions in his will his wife's children, Elizabeth Tanner and Henry Aylor (Germanna Record No.6, pp. 27-28). Issue:
2. Henry Aylor, b. approximately 1723-4.
3. Elizabeth Aylor, b. probably ca. 1720-22, as she was married to Christopher Tanner prior to the date of her grandfather Snyder's will in 1742 (for her descendants see the Tannpr Familv).
Second Generation
2. Henry Aylor (John Peter?) was born in Wuertemberg, Germany ca. 1723-24 and died in 1806, the date of probate of his will being Aug. 28, 1806, in Madison Co., Va. (Madison Co. W. B. 2, p. 87). His wife, Anna Margaret, whom he married ca. 1744-5, seems to have been the daughter of the 1717 Germanna colonists, Jacob and Susannah Crigler (for the Criglers, see "The Crigler Genealogy"; also, Germanna Record No.6, pp. 23-25). Henry Aylor's first deed was in Orange Co., Va. in 1747 (D. B. 1, p. 43). He and his wife were active in Hebron Lutheran Church and were communicants in 1775. His name was spelled Heinrich Oehler in the Hebron records, and as Heinrich Ehler in one of his real estate transactions."
