Yes, the t was used by John Henry Entsminger abt. 1725-1806 in Virginia and some of his sons continued to use this spelling of Ensminger.At times Entzminger or Insminger was used. This was the clue I needed to find the derivation of the name, a village in Lorraine,now Moselle, France.Until 1648 it was part of the WestReich of the German Empire.
