You are the first one! I have a public tree on Ancestry called "Schlegel_Feitner". I have some circumstantial evidence my line may be descended from Jacob Feitner and Margaretta Hoffman. You should also be able to message me so we can exchange information.

Thank you!

Hi- I am not descended from Henry Feitner b.1752 Ebertsheim who came to Pennsylvania, however, I am descended from a line of Feitners from the same geographical area in the Rhine region who I know were stone masons. Rumor in my line was that they owned a quarry in Germany prior to coming to New York in 1848, but they definitely practiced as stone masons in the USA. There is another line of Feitners from NYC who were tied to George Washington - you can find some of that in Google books. Would love to collaborate on trying to link the lines in the old country.

Ancestors of Henry Feitner b.1752-3 Ebertsheim

FamilyGardener9 — 2011-02-14 19:17:43Z

Hi all- I am not a descendant of this Henry Feitner(aka Feightner m. Barbara Lukens), who was born in Ebertsheim, Germany and came to Pennsyvlania pre-Revolutionary War, but many of you out there are.

My Feitner (aka Feidner) line is from the same town, and had the same profession in Germany - stone masons. However, my ancestor, John Feitner, came to Brooklyn, New York after the 1848 revolutions in Germany. Wondering if anyone out there has information on any of Henry's parents, siblings, cousins, etc., and is willing to work together to connect some dots?

Thank you.

I believe that Elizabeth's 1/2 brother Michael married Joseph's sister Mariah. Michael & Mariah were my g-g-g-g-grandparents. They relocated to Henry County Ohio. I know little about Elizabeth & Jospeh other than the names of their children (4) with birth/death dates. If that would be helpful, I'll be glad to share it.

My ggggrandfather's, Solomon Blank (1807-1896), second marriage was to Elizabeth Weaver. Their daughter, Mary Ann, was married to Simon P. Feightner (b. around 1844). They had children: Elsie, Herman, John, Josephine and Thomas. Simon shows up with his family in 1850 and 1860 census and then with Mary Ann in 1900 and 1910 census for Hempfield Township, PA. Anyone know where he was between 1860 and 1900?

David..I am also of the Feightner line. My line is from Abraham, Solomon, Henry and then Leorian Henry. I would also hope there is someone out there that can tell me what happened to Henry, born 1840 in Ohio, married to one Susan Duffy, daughter of John Duffy and Catherine Manley. Irvin, Alminie, Anthony, Leorian, Bertha and Daisy were their children. The last place I trace him is to the 1880 census. After that he and Susan disappear. If anyone knows what happened to them I would appreciate an email at:
DeborahSofich@msn.com. Please place Henry's name in the subject.
Thanks!

I am from the Abraham Feightner line in Ohio. My grandmother was Lilly Fetzer, b. Smithville, Ohio , great grand daughter of Abraham Feightner.
I am interested in discovering more information on Abraham Feightner's father Henry's wife.
I have a vague recollection that she had the same surname as Henry's commanding officer in the Revolution, Capt. ???. That would make her his daughter or sister. Do you have any information on this?

Re: Meaning of FEIGHTNER

2003-07-20 02:43:57Z

Dear Vicki: There was a Mary Feitner, daughter of Joseph Feitner, son of Abraham Feitner, son of Henry Feitner(1752-1827). Henry came from Germany to America before the Rev War, and fought with the "Pennsylvania Line" during the war. Henry had 3 children; Abraham, John, and Elizabeth. The Abraham line went to Ohio area, and the John line stayed in PA. The Abraham line can be traced in the USCensus as "Feightner"-------it wasn't popular to be German so the name was "Anglicized". I'm from the "Fichtner Line" from Germany to Lancaster Area of PA, then to Vaughan Township, Ontario, Canada, then to Michigan----whose name was changed in Canada for the same reason as "Feitner". I have a family tree of Henry Feitner, no dates, just branches that I'd share with you, if you are interested. Happy Hunting

Re: Meaning of FEIGHTNER

vickilink — 2003-07-20 00:21:02Z

I am looking for any information on the feightner family that lived in Lockbourne,Ohio, franklin county. I am told they owned a large portion of the land that is now the town of Lockbourne. They lived there in the late 1930's to 1940's at least and moved then to California. The female of the couple I am looking for was named Molly Wheeler but I am unsure of Mr. Feightner's first name, if any of this is familiar,please let me know. Thanks

Re: Meaning of FEIGHTNER

2002-07-14 01:48:40Z

I doubt that there is any relationship between Feig and Feightner. There are 2 lines of Feightners----one Feitner---Henry Feitner came from Germany and fought with the Pennsylvania Line in the Revolutionary War, and about 1800, the descendents Anglecized the name to Feightner. The other Fichner, my line, came from Germany to Lancaster, PA, like the Feitners, then John Fichner of Lancaster, PA, emigrated to Vaughn Twp, York Co, Ontario, Canada, and like the Feitners, Anglicized the name to Feightner. "Fichner" means those who live by the spruce trees. I'm not sure what "Feitner" means. Good Luck ccf
