The parents of Sarah Lefler who married Samuel Myers is Adam Lefler and Anna Maria (Mary) Dunckle/Dunkel. Her name was Salome and nickname was Sarah. She was born 11 Mar 1812 in Centre Co., PA just like the 1875 Kansas census shows. She was baptised 05 Jul 1812 at Nittany Valley Union Church Baptism records, Marion Twp., Centre County, Pennsylvania.

1810 census for Adam Lefler in Walker Twp. shows his father in law and 2 brother in laws a few lines below.

Melchior DUNKLE, Walker Twp., Oct. 2, 1823 - Nov. 12, 1825
child: John, Jacob, Henry, Barbara Smith, Mary Lefler, Elizabeth Emerick
EX: son, John, Francis Mc Ewen, Wm McEwen
Witnesses: Wm Kean, Lewis Mc Kean
Source: Wills of Centre, PA, 1800-1853, Pg. 186 Adam Lofler is listed with filing receipts to the estate of Melchoir in 1823.
He also is in attendance at a Vendue, held the 21 Nov 1823 regarding his father in law's estate.
The estate was not finalized until 1825.

They moved to Wayne Co. sometime after Mary's father, Melchior Dunckle died. 1826 tax list does not show them in Wayne so move was after those taxes.

1835 Adam bought land in Seneca county. In 1848 he sells this land to his three living sons.
