(3466) He resided on 22 Oct 1850 in Half Moon Township, Centre Co., Pa..(3467) Note Washington Black in the Census of 1850. Black was Mary's maiden name.

He was a Farmer in Warriors Mark, Huntingdon Co., PA.(3469) According to a newspaper obituary, he was an uncle to grocer Jerry HOUCK of 6th Ave. and 7th St., Altoona, and John HOUCK of Llyswen. This suggests the possibility that he had
at least two sisters who married Jerry and John HOUCK.

The Census of 1850 also shows a 3 year-old boy by the name of Washington BLACK. The relationship to the family is unknown as of July 1999. Wife Mary's maiden name was BLACK, so Washington could have been related to her or perhaps a son to one of George's daughters. Parents: John GENSIMER and Elizabeth ----.

He was married to Mary BLACK.(3470) (3471)(3472) Children were: Sussanna GENSIMORE, Annie GENSAMER, Samuel S. GENSAMER, George GENSIMORE, Catherine GENSIMER, Washington BLACK.

bullet Hannah GENSIMER was born about 1796 in Huntingdon Co., Pa.. (3479)(3480) (3481)(3482) She resided Home of John Gensemore on 8 Aug 1850 in Warriors Mark, Huntingdon Co., PA. (3483)(3484) As of July 1999, there does not appear to be any apparent marriages for Hannah. Her father John's 1833 will makes mention that Hannah was living with brother William. The 1830 census for Franklin Township lists two females age 30-40, but does not name them. The 1850 census shows H. Gensimor at about age 54 living with younger brother John and then at about age 77 living with younger brother William. These census reports could indicate a missing part of her life that included marriage, or a woman who never married nor had children. More research will be needed Parents: John GENSIMER and Elizabeth ----.


bullet John GENSIMER signed a will on 9 Mar 1833 in Birmingham, Huntingdon Co., Pa.. (3485)(3486) He had an estate probated on 8 Apr 1833 in Huntingdon, Huntingdon Co., PA.(3487) He died bet 9 Mar - 8 Apr 1833 in Franklin Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA.(3488) (3489)

bullet John GENSIMER was born between 1803 and 1804 in Huntingdon Co., Pa.. (3491)(3492) (3493)(3494) According to an e-mail from Chris Wilt, 18 Sept 1998, he viewed cemetery records from Birmingham Presbyterian Cemetery that places the birth of John in 1804, death in 1891. He resided on 8 Aug 1850 in Warriors Mark, Huntingdon Co., PA. (3495)(3496) Reference to John splitting land with brother William in Warriors Mark mentioned as early as 1833 in will of father John. He was buried in 1891 in Birmingham Presbyterian Cemetery, Hungtingdon Co., Pa..(3497) He died on 2 Jul 1891 in Eden Hill, Huntingdon Co., PA. (3498)(3499) He had an estate probated on 18 Jul 1891 in Huntingdon Co., Pa.. (3500) He signed a will bef. 1879 ? in Huntingdon Co., Pa.. (3501) Date of original will estimated to be not later than 1878. This is deduced from the newspaper obituary which stated that John's wife Elizabeth died 13 years prior to his own death. Elizabeth was mentioned in the will and therefore still alive. He resided until 2 Jul 1891 in Eden Hill, Huntingdon Co., PA.(3502) Parents: John GENSIMER and Elizabeth ----.

He was married to Elizabeth NELSON on 15 Nov 1831 in Huntingdon Co., Pa..(3503) (3504)(3505) Chris Wilt in an e-mail September 1998 stated that her surname was Harding. The newspaper record gives evidence that her surname was Nelson. Nelson is more probably as being correct. Children were: Caroline GENSIMER, Mary GENSIMER, George W. GENSIMER, William C. GENSIMER, Amey (Angeline) GENSIMER , Elizabeth "Lizzie" GENSIMER, Susan Jane GENSIMER.


bullet Kitty GENSIMER was born in Huntingdon Co., Pa.. (3506) According to a newspaper obituary of brother George, he was an uncle to grocer Jerry HOUCK of 6th Ave. and 7th St., Altoona, and John HOUCK of Llyswen. This suggests the possibility that he had at least two sisters, one who may have married a HOUCK. Kitty's surname of MATTERN is mentioned in her father's will. Therefore, consider Houck as a possible married surname for her sister Kitty, although remarriage is always a possibility.
Parents: John GENSIMER and Elizabeth ----.

(3520) She resided with sister Elizabeth in 1900 in Warriorsmark Twp., Huntingdon County, Pa..(3521) She died after 1900.(3522) (3523)(3524) Her father's will and the Census of 1860 and 1870 do show her name to be Susan Jane, but there may be one or more records that have Sarah Jane. Susan Jane is most likely correct. Parents: John GENSIMER and Elizabeth NELSON.

bullet Barbara (Elizabeth?) GINGRICH was born on 18 May 1847. (3587) This date might be invalid if Barbara and Elizabeth are not the same person. She died on 27 Jan 1870.(3588) This date might be invalid if Barbara and Elizabeth are not the same person. Melvin Lauver has Elizabeth GINGRICH as the wife of Henry A. Lauver; John Slabaugh has Barbara Gingrich as wife of Henry. Slabaugh's work tends to be more accurate.

She was married to Henry Acker LAUVER in 1866.(3589) Melvin Lauver has Elizabeth, not Barbara, Gingrich as the wife. Children were: Elizabeth G. LAUVER, Ella G. LAUVER.


bullet Christian GINGRICH was born on 26 Jun 1792 in Fontana, Lebanon Co., PA.

bullet Christian GINGRICH was born on 2 Mar 1823 in Washington Twp., Snyder Co., PA. (3594) He died 30 Apr 1825 ?. (3595) The date is questioned because "The Lauver Legacy...." on page 41 shows a date of death of 31 Apr 1825. Of course, there is no Apr. 31, so Apr. 30 is assumed, unless the month is wrong. Parents: Christian GINGRICH and Elizabeth LIGHT.


bullet Christian GINGRICH was born in 1755 in Lebanon Co., PA. (3596) Just east of the village of Fontana on the south side of the Horseshoe Pike, now Rt. 322.. He resided Gingrich farm and homestead in 1776 in Fontana, Lebanon Co., PA.(3597) Received 59 acres, including the homestead of his father's farm upon the elder's death in 1776, In 1785, he purchased 88 acres from his brother Michael. In 1797, Christian sold these to parcels to Christian Baughman. Gingrich then purchased 340 acres from John Baughman, about 3 miles west. Slabaugh states that the farm is located a mile southwest of Mt. Pleasant on the east side of Mt. Pleasant Rd., but the map only shows a Mt. Pleasant over in neighboring Lancaster County. A new home was built by Anna Gingrich west of the property after Christian's death. According to Slabaugh, the home still stands today, a short distance east of Brightbill Church. He was buried in Aug 1808 in Family burial plot, Gingrich farm.(3598) Anna stone is the oldest, but Christian's stone cannot be found. He died on 12 Aug 1808 in Lebanon Co., PA.(3599) Parents: Joseph GINGRICH and Anna HUBER.

He was married to Anna HOSTETTER on 28 May 1780 in Middletown, Lancaster, later Dauphin, Co., PA.(3600) Dauphin County was formed in 1785. Therefore, Lancaster Co. had jurisdiction at the time of this marriage. Children were: John GINGRICH , Barbara GINGRICH, Joseph GINGRICH, Elizabeth GINGRICH, Christian GINGRICH, Jacob GINGRICH, Peter GINGRICH, Anna (Nancy) GINGRICH, Mary GINGRICH, Magdalena GINGRICH, Henry GINGRICH.

She was married to Martin LIGHT .(3609)


bullet Henry GINGRICH was born on 30 Jun 1820 in Washington Twp., Snyder Co., PA. (3610) Twin brother of Barbara. He died on 15 Apr 1909.(3611) (3612) Exact date of death is in question because there is a possible misprint in "The Lauver Legacy..." which gives a date of death of 15 Apr 1809 along with a date of birth of
30 Jun 1820. One possibility is 1890, but clarification is needed from the author.

J. Richard Lauver's pedigree chart shows year of death as 1909. Changing year of death on 4 March 2006 from 1890 to 1909. In light of possible error and Slabaugh's misprint of 1809 death year (before he was born), that the 1909 date appears most likely. At least this would put Henry Gingrich within a time frame that a death certificate could be obtained from Pennsylvania which started keeping such records in 1906.

Parents: Christian GINGRICH and Elizabeth LIGHT.

He was married to Elizabeth GARMAN .(3613)

He was married to Jane LAUVER.(3614) (3615) Melvin Lauver has Henry GRAYBILL (30 Jun 1830 to 15 Apr 1909) as the husband. A request to the PA Bureau of Vital Statistics listing both surnames, Graybill and Gingrich should help clarify this.

He was married to Fianna LEYDER.(3616)
