No problem. I also noticed you are on Facebook. I sent you a request there. I have some of Uncle Barney's branch of the family there.

Do you happen to have any other pictures of the family? I'd like to be able to add more photos as time goes by.

I am researching the Entzminger family.
I am trying to verify the parents of Joseph Entzminger b.1842 d. 3-15-1881 in Putnam, West Virinia. He was married to Abigail A Searls on 9-22-1865 in Gallia, Ohio.

I think his father was Issac Entzminger b 1814 and his mother was Mary Ann Bobo b.1817 They were married 3-23-1841, Langsville, Gallia, Ohio

I have information on Joseph and Abigails children.

Dear Dale, Thank you for your info. some of it I have and some I have not seen. Please e-mail me at home address katherinewolf@earthlink.net. I have been contacted by the Livingstons and another family who are also directly related to Jonathan Ensminger. I also have traced the family back to Alsace in 1603.If anyone would like to travel to visit family in Alsace let me know, I speak French.I also have been invited to a Ensminger reunion in Penn.

Re: hiram entsminger b. golden colorado 1879

densmingerbc — 2008-10-15 23:43:13Z

My database shows Hiram's parents are Morris Ensminger, b ca. 1853 & Sarah Elizabeth Seaton, b ca. 1856. I found a Morris Ensminger, age 27, b PA, on the U.S. Census in Golden, CO in 1880. Morris's wife on the 1880 census is shown by initials - S S or L L. The census transcribes her name as L L but the letters look like "S" to me - probably signifying the name Sarah Seaton. She is listed as age 23, b. IL, parents b. KY. I found a record of a marriage of Morris Ensminger and Sarah Elizabeth Seaton, in Arapahoe County, CO on Apr 4, 1880. This info was transcribed, so the year of marriage may be wrong. The census lists one child, Hiram, age 2, b. IL.

Morris' father John was b in IL to Jonathan Ensminger, b 1814, VA, and Jane Unknown, b 1824, PA. Morris' family is on U.S. censuses in Camp Point, Adams Co., IL in 1860 & 1870. I haven't found any of the family after the 1880 census. They may be listed under other names.

A Sarah E Seaton is listed with her family is on the U. S. censuses in 1860 & 1870 in Clayton, Adams Co., IL. She is shown b IL & parents were b KY, matching the 1880 census. Clayton is 6 miles east of Camp Point, so the odds are pretty good this is the right Sarah E Seaton.

I have Henry Edward as the 3rd of 11 children of David Henry Entsminger, b Jun 1855, d Feb 19, 1943, and Nancy Ann Hartless, b Sep 1857, d Dec 9, 1923.

David Henry is the 6th of 9 children of John Franklin Entsminger, b Jan 1833, and Mary Ann Moore, b Nov 1832.

John Franklin is the 2nd of 7 children of David Jr., b about 1801 and Sydney Moore, b about 1808.

David Jr is the 6th of 10 children of David Sr., b 1762, d Jul 1841, and Mary Clark, b 1770, d 1810.

I have 6 earlier generations in your line, which are also available through Dr. Raymond Martin Bell's book Ensminger of Alsace and Pennsylvania, 1994. The Bell Book includes your line from John Franklin (b 1830 per Bell Book - b 1833 per census data) back through Hans Meyer der Einssminger, b about 1575, your earliest Entsminger ancestor identified to date.

STRASBOURG — 2001-06-28 03:42:53Z

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.

Spelling of names

HazelL — 2001-08-04 12:38:25Z

The decendents with this name all came from Alsace in France the name is spelled many different ways - Ensminger, ensmings, Ensmingen, Einssminger, Einsminger, Entzminger, Ansminger, Hansminger, Eslminger, Elsminger and even Minger! The name of the town was Insming and according to Raymond M Bell who researched this family for 50 years, this is the only place in the world where the name came from. Happy hunting, Hazel Ensminger Lang

The spelling of Ensminger was more common in Alsace but John Henry Entsminger who m. Mary Barbara Grandstaff in PA and moved to what became Botetourt Co. VA added a "t"
so that it would be pronounced right. Most that spell the name with the t are connected to John Henry. I would be happy to check for any spelled with the t in my data base. Ginny in WY

RichardTucker71 — 2004-07-23 16:09:08Z

My g-g-g-g-grandfather was John Entsminger, brother of Joseph Ludwig Entsminger. John married Jane Rees in Botetourt County, VA in 1787 and died in Meigs County, Ohio in 1830. According to information I have seen, John and Joseph were sons of Henry Entsminger and Barbara Grandstaff or Crautzdorf , and that Henry died in Gallia County, Ohio in 1806. That would have made him 103 years old. Do you have any information that would either confirm or refute this information?
