Johann Georg's brother, Georg Henrich Lindemuth (George Henry Lindamood), was among the signers, 24 April 1752, for an abstract of land with John Painter, Ulrick Myers and 13 others who signed a petition to Thomas Lord Fairfax requesting a warrant to survey 400 acres of land upon which the "Dutch chappel" or Zion Church had been erected. The request was granted. The request was signed by George Anmon, Johann Banawitz (Pennywitt), Johann Bender (Painter), Nikolaus Cuntz, Christian Dellinger, Adolpj, Markus Eller, Carl Fischer, Frederick Fischer, Frederick Fischer Jr., Michael Hahnlein, Georg Lindemuth, Georg Maurer, Johannes Mavis, Ulrich Myer, and Martin Roller. The land, at that time in Augusta County, Virginia.

Johann Georg Lindemuth died when Johann was nine years old and Georg was twelve. The two boys inherited about 400 acres of land in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Georg Heinrich Lindemuth (Thunder George) remained in Shenandoah County, Virginia and married Mary Magdelene Blessing, daughter of Jacob Blessing. George stayed in Shenandoah after Johann went to Wythe County, Virginia . Years later, Georg and his family moved to Xenia, Greene County, Ohio. The trip was so difficult.
