I tried to take photos of Neckarmühlbach a few years ago, but, although it's a lovely area, there wasn't much to take pictures of. An old barn had been turned into a business [restaurant?] with a wild west theme and some houses exist. I just Goggled Neckarmühlbach and found some photos of the local castle. Another reseacher sent me the Neckarmühlbach connection. I think the original name was Daubenberger. I have photos of the Dovenbarger headstone in Washington Co.,OH. You can find it at ,http://ohiogravestones.org/view.php?id=17714>;

Re: Dovenbarger ancestors

timrjlepird1 — 2007-02-27 01:02:42Z

Sounds like a real possibility! Do you have additional info on them and/or photos? Thanks!

Re: Dovenbarger ancestors

BPerkins307 — 2007-02-26 04:15:04Z

Johann Dovenbarger might have been the son of Valentin, the husband of Maria Margaretha Hofmann and the father of Jacob who married 1) Maria Magadalena Burmann and 2)Sarah Mitchell. My connection is Sarah's 2nd husband, Robert Berry. What do you think?

Re: Dovenbarger ancestors

timrjlepird1 — 2007-02-26 03:19:49Z

Valentin Daubenberger and Johann Jacob Daubenberger arrived in Philadelphia aboard the ship St. Andrew from Rotterdam, Holland and Cowes, England in 1751. They had originally emigrated from Germany.(I'm assuming they were brothers perhaps) Johann Jacob's line is where I am from and what I'm most interested in researching. Thanks!

Re: Dovenbarger ancestors

BPerkins307 — 2007-02-26 02:07:43Z

I don't have these people in my line that I know of. Judging from the other post here, your Dovenbargers are from another bunch. The oldest one I have is Valentine b. abt 1709 in probably in Neckarmühlbach, Kreis Mosbach, Baden. This info comes from another researcher. Does your family connect to Neckarmühlbach? Brenda

Re: Dovenbarger ancestors

timrjlepird1 — 2007-02-26 00:35:58Z

I am also related to Daniel Dovenbarger. He and his wife Catharine (Heflebower) Dovenbarger had a son, Charles Hesikiah, who married Ada Shultz. Charles and Ada had a daughter, Nora, who married Harry Huntington. Nora and Harry had a daughter Helen, who was my grandmother. I'm new to family history research, but I believe that means Daniel Dovenbarger was my gggg grandfather. Do you have any photos of the Dovenbarger families? Please email me at timrjlepird@yahoo.com

Re: Dovenbarger ancestors

timrjlepird1 — 2007-02-26 00:11:16Z

I have some information on John Dovenbarger who married Mary Eakles. His son Daniel had a son Charles who had a daughter Nora who is my great grandmother. Please email me at timrjlepird@yahoo.com if you still need some information on John and Mary. I'm interested in photos of Dovenbarger families. RaeJean Lepird

I'm looking for information on my ancestor John DOVENBARGER who married a "Polly" Eakle. I believe they were from either Maryland or West Virgina, possibly Virginia. Does any one know anything? Please respond to momagain1@msn.com
Thank you!

Re: Dovenbarger ancestors

Jambare — 2004-11-04 16:00:56Z

The John DOVENBARGER I have was a son of John DOVENBARGER and Mary(Polly) EAKLE. The father was born in 1788 and the son born in 1820. I'm not sure yours is the same John DOVENBARGER. My information came from letter to my grandmother from her cousin who took the names and dates from a DOVENBARGER family bible. The listings are:
Jacob DOVENBARGER July 19 1814
Henry DOVENBARGER Jan 8 1816
Sally DOVENBARGER Mar 10, 1818
John DOVENBARGER May 15 1820
Christian DOVENBARGER Mar 12 1822
Will DOVENBARGER Sept 25 1824
Daniel DOVENBARGER Feb 3 1826 (my ggggrandfather)
Matlethea DOVENBARGER Feb 1829
Matilda DOVENBARGER Jan 10 1831
Mary Elizabeth DOVENBARGER Oct 19 1834
Susan A. DOVENBARGER May 26 1838
I'm guessing that these are all birhdates of children born to John and Mary(EAKLE) DOVENBARGER. Do any of these names look familiar? Michelle
