      <description>That's such a kind offer. I appreciate it very much. I hope that adding details might make the task easier for you. Here is all I know about my Mahala Ensminger.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Born about 1814 in Virginia (probably West Virginia), married John Bock 14 Oc 1845 in Marion County (West) Virginia, died after 1870 Census probably in Marion County WV.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a George Ensminger who shows up in the Harrison County (West)Virginia Census in 1830 (parts of Harrison later become Marion County). He has no daughters the right age to be Mahala, but he is the only Ensminger who lives anywhere near where she must have met her husband.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a Margaret Engminger, seventy years old (so born about 1790), living with Mahala and her husband in the 1860 Census for Marian County (West) Virginia.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is possible that these are her parents, but I have no way of knowing for certain at this point.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you again for your offer. Anything you find about Ensmingers who end up in WV would be extremely helpful.</description>

      <description>I  have been doing research on the Entsminger family and am related through Phillip Entsminger. He also had a son named Anthony and my gggrandfather was Jonathan. He also had a brother Jacob.I am going out to the Lancaster Cty. Historical society to copy first ships records on Peter Entsminger. I would be glad to also look up info. for you. I hope to also visit several churches which also have records. K.</description>

      <description>Thank you. This has been very helpful. This tells me that Jacob's Mahala is not my Mahala of West Virginia. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is another possibility that I've discovered, a George Ensminger who lived in Harrison County, later Marion County, (West) Virginia for the 1830 and 1840 Census. There is a young Michael Ensminger who lives nearby. Later, a young George Ensminger appears in that area. These are probably sons. Are you familiar with this family? Is it possible that George's wife may have been named Margaret? There is a Margaret Ensminger who is living with my Mahala in 1860 for the Census. </description>

      <description>I have extensive info on this line but I do not know the name of Jacob's wife.  All three daughters were born in Pennsylvana.  Mary moved to OH, married Nathan Riley and had 4 kids.  Catharine moved to Ohio, married James Smith, later moved to IL, and had 11 kids.  Mahala moved to OH, married Martin Wareham, and had 12 kids - the oldest went by Warehime, the others by Wareham.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jacob's father, Nicholas Jr, was a brother of my ancestor, John Ludwig.  Both were children of Nicholas born 1699.  If you want more info I have some that may help you.</description>

      <description>You need to find a copy of Dr. Martin Bell's book on "The Ensmingers of PA &amp;amp; Alsase"  I think I remember your connection.  My line added a t to help pronunciation in VA but they were also in Muddy Creek, Colaco, PA before Augusta Co. VA and then in Gallia/Meigs Co. OH.  Some of mine did wander into what became WVA from OH.  By 1900 most all of them had gone West.  Good Hunting.  Ginny in Cheyenne</description>

      <title>Jacob Ensminger b. 1766 Lancaster, PA</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.ensminger/136/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I am interested in finding out as much as I can about Jacob Ensminger b. 1766 in Cocalico, Lancaster, PA, and his family. I understand that his parents were probably John Nicholas Ensminger b. abt 1723 PA and Catherine Crow b. abt 1740 PA. His children may include:&lt;br&gt;Mary b. abt 1799&lt;br&gt;Catherine b. abt 1801&lt;br&gt;Mahala b. abt 1804 &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm wondering if anyone knows where these children were born? Who was his wife? Is it possible that the Mahala listed on the Family Search site as b. abt 1804 could be my gggGrandmother Mahala Ensminger who was born in (West) Virginia? I'd appreciate any information that would help.&lt;br&gt;Thanks.</description>

      <description>Eliza (Morgan) Lenhart Ensminger is my g-g-g grandmother, so I've been studying this census entry for some time. I've just arrived at the same conclusion you have--"Sophia" is a census-taker's error and this person is Eliza. I find no "Sophia" in the Muskingum Co., OH area who matches this person in previous censuses. </description>

      <title>David b. 1788, Henry b. 1782, both living in WV</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.ensminger/135/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I'm trying to track down the line that my gggGrandmother, Mahala Ensminger b. abt 1814 (W)VA, comes through. I know that she married and lived in Marion County (originally part of Harrison County), West Virginia, with her husband John Bock and family. In the 1860 Census, there is a Margaret Ensminger (age 70, so b. abt 1790) living with them, who is probably Mahala's mother. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have found three Ensminger males who lived in (West) Virginia at the time that Mahala was born:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;David b. abt 1788 PA&lt;br&gt;Henry b. abt 1782 PA&lt;br&gt;George b. abt 1775 PA&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The last of these (George) showed no daughters in the Census Records the right age, but may still be related somehow since he's the only one who stays in Marion County. David and Henry each had three daughters in the right age range to be Mahala. Does anyone know anything about these families? Did any of them have a daughter named Mahala? Did any of them have a wife named Margaret who may have been visiting, or living with her daughter? Any information would be greatly appreciated.&lt;br&gt;Thanks.</description>

      <description>"Sophia" has me baffled, too. While I can't answer your question, I can tell you that George M. Lenhart and Jane Hamel had 4 daughters, orphaned between 1840-1850. Eliza M. Lenhart and Maxa A. Lenhart, the younger children,lived with their maternal grandmother Margaret Hamel. Sarah and Samarimus lived with their paternal grandmother Eliza and her 2nd husband Andrew Ensminger. Eliza and Andrew married 27 Feb. 1827. Unless the census taker was so confused that he recorded the name "Eliza" as "Sophia," Eliza died betw 1860-1870. Btw, the Maxa A. Lenhart named above was apparently named for her aunt, Maxa A. Lenhart who married James McLean. Of George's and Jane's 4 daughters, only Eliza married and had children. Neither of those children married.</description>

      <description>OMG!  I am SOOO sorry for your loss.  I believe we are cousins, but most certainly if we are not, I am still VERY proud of the service you son provided this country and the fact you stood by him while he did what he felt he needed to do.  My Ensminger ancestors are as follows:&lt;br&gt;My father, Gerald Kay Patton died last year - his folks were Albert Homer Patton &amp;amp; Alice Marticia Moore - "Homer"'s parents were David Henderson Patton &amp;amp; Martha Jane Ensminger; Martha's parents were George E. Ensminger and Catherine E. Firey and George E.'s father was George E. Ensminger and Margaret W. Albert.  I could go further here, but I feel guiltly ddoing  so.  I am SO sorry for your loss.  I will pray for all of your family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Melanie Patton Eskew&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

A few of the pictures were not found but they were of the armed services readying to go to Cuba in the Spanish-American War, I believe.&lt;br&gt;Sincerely,  Tommye Ensminger Price</description>

      <description>Sandra, I was delighted to know more about the Ensminger Brothers and where they disappeared to.  I can't find my research on them as my computer burned up and I lost quite a few records severa years ago.  I could find it again at the library but it's located quite a way from where I live so it would be difficult but I do remember that the building they had their studio in is still standing and since they are redoing the center of the city I'm sure it will be a building they will rehab.  They also had a boarding house with their name on it.  I think a hotel was built there later.  Thanks so much for the information, now I won't have to wonder so much about them.  I think some of their pictures are in a collage library in Tampa if I remember correctly.  Thanks so much, Hazel Ensminger Lang</description>

      <description>I am wondering if your David is descended from the John Ensminger who was in the Philadelphia area very early on.  His widow was listed in some records I have seen.  I have never been able to link them to the Ensmingers who went to Lancaster, Lebanon and the surrounding counties.  I am sure there is a connection, just haven't followed it up.  The fact that he may David was a cooper may fit as many of the Ensmingers were blacksmiths.</description>

      <description>Did you ever get information on the children of George Ensminger born Feb 6, 1813?  George is my great grandfather.  I have the names of his children and some of their descendants.  </description>

      <title>Samuel Ensminger m. Frances Brandt, PA c. 1850</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.ensminger/109/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Looking for information on the couple above, specifically whether they had a daughter named Frances. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Samuel was born in 1811 and died 1896 in Topeka, KS, apparently having followed his son Joseph out there. He may have been born in Dauphin Co, PA, his parents (Michael and Elizabeth) were born in Lebanon Co, PA, and his mother died in Carlisle.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm investigating this family as tied to my step-father's grandfather, Carrol Strohm. Carrol was supposedly born in 1879 in Carlisle, but the only Carrol Strohm who turns up in a nationwide search of the 1880 census is in Topeka, with parents G.W. and Frances and uncle "Joe Euraninger," [says the typed transcription I've seen] attorney. Joseph Ensminger, attorney later shows up in the city directory, and Carrol's daughter says she remembers the name Ensminger. The coincidences are killing me, but I can't find any information on other children of Samuel. I feel like the census would solve my problem, but they seem to have warped his name, because I can't find him in electronic indices. Any help would be appreciated.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks,&lt;br&gt;Amelia&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Sophia Ensminger 1870 Muskingum Co., OH</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.ensminger/133/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Can anyone identify the Sophia Ensminger who was 80 years old, born in Delaware, living in Muskingum County Ohio in 1870? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also in the household were Sarah Lenhart, 37 born in Ohio, and Cemarimus Lenhart 28, born in Ohio. There are no relationships stated in this census, but the occupation for Sarah and Cemarimus is listed as "Helps Grandmother".&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Samarimas Lenhart died 23 Nov 1911 in Muskingum County. On the death certificate, Sarah Lenhart indicated that the parents of Samarimas were George M. Lenhart and Jane Hamel. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Jane Hammel was a daughter of Henry Hammel and Margaret. George Morgan Lenhart was a son of John Lenhart and Eliza Morgan.  After the death of John Lenhart in 1822, Eliza remarried, to Andrew Ensminger.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 1850 &amp;amp; 1860 census of Muskingum County, Newton Twp, shows Sarah C. Lenhart  and Samarimas Lenhart living in the household of Andrew Ensminger and Eliza. The 1850 census indicates Eliza was born in VA. In 1860, she her place of birth is listed as PA.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Did Andrew Ensminger remarry between 1860 - 1870 to someone named Sophia, or is this an error by the census taker, and Sophia is possibly the same person as Eliza Morgan?   &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for any help.</description>

      <title>Ensmingers in So. Illinois, 1840 - 1900</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.ensminger/131/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>looking for connectons between the Emanuel Ensminger family and Pennsylvania Ensminger.  Emmanuel's widow, Catherine, is in the 1840 census of Equality, Gallatin Co, Illinois.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Their children in 1860:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Benjamin Franklin Ensminger, age 45 in Crab Orchard twp, Williamson Co, Illinois, with wife ES age 29 and daughter FEJ age 2.   Same family in 1870, BF (looks like BT) age 56, wife Elizabeth age 39 and children Frances, age 12, Jane, age 8, Edward age 5 and Eliza age 3.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stephen D Ensminger, age 39,  1860 in Shawneetown, Gallatin Co, Illinois with wife Lucresia, age 22, living in home of Lucresia's father, Stirling Anders.  In 1870, they are living in Equality, Gallatin Co, (not very far away): Stephen, age 52, farmer, wife Elizabeth (?) age 37 and daughter Julie A, age 2.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mother Catherine Ensminger, age 65 in 1860, living in Marion, Williamson Co, Illinois, in the home of her son-in-law, IM (Isaac) Lewis, age 36, a druggist and dentist, his wife, Eliza V (Ensminger) age 36, their son Decatur, age 2.  Also Catherine's son (and Eliza's brother) John A, age 29, whose occupation is listed as constable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In 1870, John, age 42, is still in Marion, Illinois, but has moved out of his brother - in - law's house, is married to a Patsy and has daughters Fell? age 8 and Heannah age 1.  (I think this is Hannah, in 1900 there is a Hannah Simmons, b. Jan 1869 who is living in Marion with her nephew, Champ Ensminger, age 2)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think another child is Julie Ann, who married James R. Hudgins in 1848.  The Illinois marriage data base has her last name as "Ensmings" but there is not a family with that name, only "Ensminger".   Julie and James are in the 1860 and 1870 census of Eldorado, Saline Co, Illinois, which is only 7 miles away from Equality and right close to Williamson Co also.  Julie is widowed but still is living in Eldorado in the 1880 and 1900 census.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyone else looking at this branch of the family?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;thanks&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Martha</description>

      <description>Re:  Message from densmingerbc posted Sep 25, 2000, the referenced George Ensminger b Feb 6, 1813 in Hagerstown, MD is the son of Philip Ensminger b Mar 24, 1779, Hagerstown, MD and Elizabeth Stamm b Jun 6, 1794, Lovettsville, VA.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am not familiar with the name Elizabeth Hauer Ensminger.  Was Hauer a middle name?  I understand Elizabeth Stamm is the daughter of a Jacob Stamm b 1768 and an Elizabeth Unknown.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That Elizabeth Stamm Ensminger's 2nd husband, John Christian Beck had gone to Oregon and died shortly after arriving was news to me.  Thanks.</description>
