AE Jacob
Jacob and his descendants are
described in the History of Lehigh County (HLC) as well as Lehigh and Carbon
Counties (LCC). The most extensive
information for Jacob and his descendants, however, is contained in private
genealogical papers of Russell S. Baver (BAV).
BAV shows Jacob was born 1/12/1751 and died 10/20/1811; his wife
Christina was born 9/2/1759 and died 5/10/1823. The DAR Patriots Index also shows these dates.
Gravestones
at the Jerusalem Church (JER), Stony Run, Berks county, PA, show that Jacob was
born 02/12/1751 and died 10/26/1811 (sic); his wife, Christina, was born 09/02/1759
and died 05/10/1823.
BAV notes
that Christina's maiden name might have been Hagenbuch "since members of
that family were sponsors at numerous baptisms". Indeed, Hagenbuch's were godparents at baptisms of Andreas (AEA),
Maria Magdalena (AED), Daniel (AEG), and Michael (AEH). Although Kris Kistler, a descendent of
Jacob, indicates that Christina's maiden name was Baer, there is no evidence of
this.
Kistler family papers at the
Historical Society of Berks county (HSBC), show that Jacob was confirmed by
Rev. Shoemacher in 1767. Given his
birth in 1751, this seems reasonable.
The children of Jacob and Christina
are as follows:
Michael AEH
Andreas AEA
Philip Jacob AEB
Jacob AEC
Maria Magdalena AED
Magdalena AEE
Catherine AEF
Daniel AEG
Solomon AEI
AEA Andreas
JER baptismal records show Andreas, born 9/5/1779, son of
Jacob and Christina, godparents Andreas and Margaretha Hagenbuch. There are no other references to Andreas,
and I assume he died in infancy.
AEB Philip Jacob
JER records show Philip Jacob, born
7/5/1781, son of Jacob and Christina (some records show "Abina"
rather than "Christina"), godparents Philip and Barbara Probst
(AG). JER gravestones show that Philip
was born 7/5/1781 and died 2/22/1850.
His wife, Maria (nee Fritz) was born 12/‑/1782 and died 5/‑/1856;
more specifically, BAV shows that Maria was born 12/7/1782 and died
3/19/1856. Her full name was apparently
Maria Magdalena ‑‑ Lehigh county (PA) orphan court records in 1850
refer to Maria Magdalena as the widow of Philip.
The 1850
Census records for Lehigh county, PA, show Magdalena, age 69, in the household
of David M. Kistler (AFIB); Magdalena is probably the widow of Jacob. Note that Caroline Kistler (AFIJ), sister of
David M. Kistler, is also shown in the same household in 1850. Caroline later married Benjamin Brobst, the
son of Lydia (AEBA) and, thus, the grandson of Magdalena.
So far as I have been
able to determine, Philip Jacob and Maria Magdalena had only one daughter,
Lydia.
AEBA Lydia
JER records show Lydia, born 11/24/1802, daughter of
Philip and Maria, godparents Jacob and Christina Kistler (AE). LDS records show her marriage to Jacob
Probst on 3/12/1822. BAV also shows
Lydia's marriage to "John" Probst (6/8/1799‑12/9/1836). BAV further shows Lydia's death on 1/24/1881
and burial at JER.
AEC Jacob
BAV shows Jacob's birth on 3/20/1783
and baptism on 4/18/1783 at Grimville, PA.
No other birth or death records are available.
Jacob married
Catherine. HOLL shows her maiden name
as Everitt (Everett). JER records show
the baptism of children of Jacob and Catherine; from the godparents named in
these baptisms, the family relationship may be assumed.
AECA Judith
JER records show Judith, born
4/1/1806, daughter of Jacob and Catherine, godparents Jacob and Christina
Kistler (AE). BAV reports Judith's
birth on 4/14/1806, but this is probably taken from cemetery records of the
Jacobs Church (JAC), Lynn township, Lehigh county, PA, which show Judith
Henrich (nee Kistler), born 4/14/1806, died 5/24/1879.
The records of Rev. Henry S. Fegley (who served various
churches in Lehigh county from 1874 to 1906) show that Judith married three
times ‑‑ to Jacob Stein, to Samuel Creitz, and to Joseph
Henry/Henrich.
AECB Louisa
JER records show
Louisa, born 5/30/1812, daughter of Jacob and Catherine, godparents Philip and Maria
Kistler (AEB). BAV reports her marriage
to Elias Hartman (10/3/1810‑11/3/1893).
Finally, JAC cemetery records show Louisa Hartman, daughter of Jacob and
Catherine Kistler, born 5/30/1812, died 12/6/1890.
AECC Maria Barbara (Polly)
JER records show
Maria Barbara, born 1/31/1818, daughter of Jacob and Catherine, godparents
Christian Wannemacher and Christina Kistler (probably wife of AE). BAV reports her marriage to Joseph Sechler
and their subsequent move to Indiana.
AED Maria Magdalena
JER records show Maria Magdalena,
born 12/29/1784, daughter
of Jacob and Christina, godparents John Hagenbuch and Catherine
Steiger. I suspect that Maria Magdalena
died in infancy.
Maria
Magdalena is not mentioned in the LCC reference which states that Jacob and his
wife had eight children ‑‑ but names only seven, not accounting for
either Andreas or Maria Magdalena.
Also, while BAV reports that Maria Magdalena married John Jacob Baer
(born 5/20/1781), Baver also acknowledges that Kohler, another Kistler family
historian, shows that John Jacob Baer's wife was Magdalena (AEE) ‑‑
see below.
AEE Magdalena
JER records show Magdalena, born
12/17/1787, daughter of Jacob and Christina, godparents Philip and Elizabeth
Kistler (AC). Also refer to Maria
Magdalena (AED) above; I suspect that Maria Magdalena (AED) died in infancy and
that her sister, Magdalena (AEE), married John Jacob Baer as reported by some
Kistler family historians and by the LCC narrative.
AEF Catherine
Neither birth nor death records have
been located. BAV as well as the LCC
narrative report Catherine as a daughter of Jacob and Christina. Both indicate she married Jacob Bailey and
moved to Ohio. Also, note that in 1820
Jacob and Catherine "Beli" were godparents to a child of Michael
(AEH). Catherine was probably born
about 1790.
AEG Daniel
JER records show Daniel, born
4/26/1790, son of Jacob and Christina, godparents Henry Hagenbuch and Catherine
Probst. Baver reports that Daniel
married Catherine, moved to Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, and died on
10/2/1858. Other sources also report
Daniel's death in 1858.
However, Columbia
county Will Book 3, pages 202‑203, show that Daniel's will was dated
9/27/1856 and probated 10/21/1856. The
will mentions Daniel's wife Catherine, children Daniel, Jacob, Catherine,
Joseph, and others unnamed.
The 1850
Census records for Columbia county, PA, show Daniel, age 60; Catherine, age 59;
Joseph, age 35; Jacob B., age 25; Catherine, age 24; Sarah, age 23; Elizabeth,
age 22; and Christiana B., age 19.
AEGA Daniel
JER records show Daniel, born
4/17/1815, son of Daniel and Catherine, godparents Jacob and Catherine Kistler
(AEC). I have found no further
information on Daniel, but he was named in his father's will in 1856.
AEGB Christine
JER records show
Christine, born 2/23/1817, daughter of Daniel and Maria, godparents Philip and
Marie Kistler (AEB). I suspect that the
JER records are erroneous and the mother's name should be
"Catherine".
Daniel and
Catherine apparently had another daughter with a similar name; refer to AEGK,
Christiana, below. She was born about
1831.
AEGC Samuel
JER records show
Samuel, born 12/23/1818, son of Daniel and Catherine, godparents John and
Elizabeth Kistler (probably AFE). The 1860 Census records for
Hamburg, Berks county, PA, show Samuel, age 42; Elizabeth, age 37; Maria, age
19; Emanuel, age 18; James, age 16; and Jeremiah, age 10. Samuel died about 1864; acccording to
administrative files in Berks county, Elizabeth, his widow, was administrator
of the estate.
The 1870
Census records for Berks county show his widow, Elizabeth, age 44; Emanuel, age
22; Jeremiah, age 19; and John, age 12.
Note that John does not appear on the Census in 1860.
The 1880
Census records for Hamburg, Berks county, show Elizabeth, age 55, in the
household of her son Jeremiah.
In 1900,
Elizabeth, age 73 (born 8/1826) was living alone in Allentown, Lehigh county,
PA.
AEGCA Maria
Maria, age 19, appears in the 1860
Census records for Hamburg, Berks county, PA, as the daughter of Samuel and
Elizabeth.
AEGCB Emanuel
Emanuel, age 18, appears in the 1860
Census records for Hamburg, Berks county, PA, as the son of Samuel and
Elizabeth. In 1870, he appears in the
Census records for Hamburg, Berks county, PA, with his widowed mother; his age
is shown as 22.
BAV shows that Emanuel died
9/14/1897. Schuylkill county (PA)
probate records in 1897 refer to Emanuel B. Kistler (of Minnersville Borough)
and his widow Emma. The 1900 Census
records for Allentown, Lehigh county, PA, show Emma, age 45 (born (7/1854); her
son Henry, age 19 (born 4/1881); and her mother Susan Riegel, age 64 (born
12/1835).
AEGCC James
James, age 16, appears in the 1860
Census for Hamburg, Berks county, PA, as the son of Samuel and Elizabeth.
AEGCD Jeremiah
Jeremiah, age 10,
appears in the 1860 Census for Hamburg, Berks county, PA, as the son of Samuel
and Elizabeth. In the 1870 Census he
appears with his widowed mother; his age is shown as 19. The 1880 Census for Hamburg, Berks county,
shows Jeremiah, age 29; his wife Emeline, age 31, his daughter Elizabeth, age
3, and his mother, Elizabeth, age 55.
AEGCDA Elizabeth
Elizabeth, age 3,
appears in the 1880 Census records for Hamburg, Berks county, PA, with her
father; nothing else is known about her.
AEGCE John
John, age 12,
appears in the 1870 Census records for Hamburg, Berks county, PA, with his
widowed mother; nothing else is known.
AEGD Jacob
JER records show
Jacob, born 8/5/1822, son of Daniel and Catherine, godparents Jacob and
Magdalena Baer (AEE). Several sources
(family records at HSBC, Columbia county orphan court records, and LDS files)
show that Jacob married Hester Kistler (ACGC).
Family records at HSBC further show that Jacob had one son, Daniel
Philip.
Jacob's death on
5/31/1881 is recorded in Columbia county will book volume 5, page 46.
The 1850 Census
records for Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, show Jacob in his father's
household; his age is given (incorrectly) as 25. The 1860 Census for Catawissa shows Jacob, age 37; his wife
"H.", age 36; and his son "D.P.", age 3.
AEGDA Daniel Philip
Kistler family
records at HSBC show Daniel Philip as the son of Jacob and Hester Kistler and
further notes that he married Lydia Ann Krum.
He is shown as "D.P.", age 3, on the 1860 Census for
Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, in his father's household.
Columbia
county will book volume 13, page 551, shows that Daniel Philip died 1/26/1924.
The 1900
Census records for Columbia county, PA, show Daniel, age 42 (born 7/1857);
Lydia, age 44 (born 12/1855); and eight children born after 1880.
AEGDAA Charles
The 1900 Census
records for Columbia county, PA, show Charles, age 17 (born 12/1882), in his
father’s household.
AEGDAB Hester
The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, show Hester, age 16 (born 12/1883), in her father’s household.
AEGDAC Lillie
The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, show Lillie, age 14 (born 6/1885), in her father’s household.
AEGDAD John
The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, show John, age 13 (born 5/1887), in his father’s household.
Sue Chlebek, a descendant of John, shows his
name as John Gideon Kistler. He married
Hannah Priscilla Guyer. They had a
daughter, Julia Agnes Kistler, born 12/7/1908.
John and Hannah were divorced sometime before 1918. Supposedly John remarried and had additional
children.
AEGDADA Julia Agnes
Sue Chlebek, a
descendant, shows that Julia Agnes was born 12/7/1908. She was still living in 2001.
AEGDAE Alice
The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, show Alice, age 10 (born 6/1889), in her father’s household.
AEGDAF Sarah
The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, show Sarah, age 9 (born 6/1891), in her father’s household.
AEGDAG Mable
The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, show Mable, age 6 (born 7/1893), in her father’s household.
AEGDAH Robert
The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, show Robert, age 4 (born 4/1896), in his father’s household.
AEGE Catherine
JER records show Catherine, born
9/15/1824, daughter of Daniel and Catherine, godparents Michael and Magdalena
Kistler (AEH).
The 1850 Census records for
Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, show Catherine, age 24, in her father's
household. Also, Catherine is named in
her father's will in 1856.
AEGF Joseph
LDS records for
St. John's Lutheran Church, Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, show Joseph, born
1/27/1814, son of Daniel and Catharina.
The same source also shows his marriage to Catherine Weaver on
1/20/1859.
Joseph's parents
seem to have lived in Columbia county at the time of his birth, but then they
returned to the vicinity of Jerusalem Church (Lehigh/Berks area) where their
other children were born and baptized.
Later, his parents again moved to Columbia county.
The 1850 Census for Catawissa,
Columbia county, PA, shows Joseph, age 35, in his father's
household. In 1856, Joseph
was named in his father's will.
Joseph's death is recorded as 3/17/1885 in Columbia county will book 5,
page 418.
AEGG David
LDS records for the St. John's
Church, Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, show David, baptized 8/29/1830, son of
Daniel and Catherine. Nothing else is
known.
AEGH Maria Ann
LDS records for the St. John's
Church, Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, show Maria Ann, baptized 12/28/1835,
daughter of Daniel and Catherine. Nothing
else is known.
AEGI Sarah
The 1850 Census records for Columbia
county, PA, show Sarah, age 23, in her father's household. The 1900 Census records for Columbia county,
PA, also show Sarah, age 72 (born 5/1828).
AEGJ Elizabeth
The 1850 Census
records for Columbia county, PA, show Elizabeth, age 22, in her father's
household.
AEGK Christiana
The 1850 Census records for Columbia
county, PA, show Christiana, age 19, in her father's household. LDS records for St. John's Church,
Catawissa, Columbia county, PA, show her marriage on 9/15/1853 to David Hunt.
AEH Michael
Records of the
Rosenthal Church, Eckville, Albany township, Berks county, PA, show Michael,
born 4/11/1792 (sic), son of Jacob and Christina, godparents Michael and Eva
Hagenbuch.
Michael married twice and had a large
family. He is buried at Jerusalem
Church (JER) where actual gravestone show Michael, 4/10/1792‑8/30/1872;
Catharina nee Schmidt (first wife) no dates given; and Magdaline nee Brobst
(second wife) 9/11/1798‑ 2/18/1882.
Other records (on microfilm from the LDS Church) show Catharina nee
Schneider, 9/12/1792‑1/10/1813; despite the difference in name (Schmidt
vs. Schneider), I believe this is Michael's first wife. Note also that Fegley (FEG) shows the birth
date of Michael's second wife, Magdalena, as 7/11/1798.
The History of Lehigh County (HLC)
describes Michael's children as follows: Stephen, Perry, Sallie (married Reuben
Wannamaker then Stephen Snyder), Jacob, Joel, Polly (married Elias Sechler),
Mary (married Jonas Billig then Charles Faust), Hannah (died young), Daniel,
William, Michael, Rudolph, Angelina (married Peter Seip), Catherine (married
Daniel Brobst) and Reuben (died young).
Michael's children are referenced in various sources ‑‑
History of Susquehanna County (HSUP), Baver (BAV), Fegley (FEG), Lehigh County
Orphan Court records, etc. The
reference in HLC seems to be the most complete.
The 1850 Census records for Lynn
township, Lehigh county, PA, show Michael, age 47; Magdalena, age 44;
"Anjulina", age 15; and Catherine, age 13. Despite the discrepancy in ages, this is certainly the entry for
Michael, AEH.
Michael, age
68, and Magdalena, age 60, appear in the 1860 Census records for Lehigh county,
PA. The 1870 Census records for Lehigh
county, PA, show Michael, age 78, and Magdalena, age 71, and a granddaughter,
Elmira (AEHED). Finally, in the 1880
Census records for Lehigh county, PA, Magdalena, age 81, appears with another
granddaughter, Ellen (AEHDJ).
AEHA Stephan
JER records show Stephan, born
10/31/1814, son of Michael and "Maria", godparents Solomon Kistler
(AEI) and Elizabeth Schmidt. Stephan
was a very successful businessman and owned a number of leather tanneries.
Both the HLC and
HSUP describe Stephan, his marriage to Esther Mosser and, later, Eliza
Grim. BAV shows that his first wife,
Esther, was born 5/24/1816 and died 4/8/1877.
Schadle, another family historian, shows that his second wife, Eliza
Grim, was born 7/11/1830 and died 3/4/1904; she is buried in Allentown,
PA. Stephan died 3/16/1880 and is
buried in Stroudsburg, PA.
The 1850 Census records for Mahoning
township, Carbon county, PA, show Stephen, age 35; Esther, age 33; Charles, age
12; Rufus, age 10; Wilson, age 6; Alfred, age 2; Mary Loch, age 19; and William
Kistler, age 20. Possibly, Mary Loch is
a servant; William (AEHH) is brother to Stephan.
The 1860 Census for Pocono township,
Monroe county, PA, shows Stephan, age 44; Esther, age 43; Charles, ages 21;
Rufus, age 19; Wilson, age 14; Mary, age 12; Milo, age 6; and Michael, age
2. Note that Alfred (age 2 in the 1850
Census) does not appear in this 1860 Census; Mary (age 12 in this 1860 Census)
does not appear in the earlier 1850 Census records.
AEHAA Charles
BAV and HLC are principle sources of
information. Charles was born 1/24/1839
and died 3/22/1880. He was schooled in
Stroudsburg, PA, lived in Tannersville, PA, retired in 1867, and moved to
Sciota, PA. He married Anna E. Woodling
(HLC states that she was a Kistler, but this suspect). Charles and Anna had seven children: Emma
Jane, Catherine, Caroline, Oscar, Mary, Andrew Milton, and an unnamed infant
(probably Hattie, see below).
The 1850 Census counts Charles twice ‑‑
once as a student, age 12, in Stroudsburg and again in the household of his
father in Carbon county, PA. At age 21,
he is shown in the 1860 Census in his father's household in Pocono township,
Monroe county, PA. His widow, Ann E. Kistler, age 60 (born
8/1839), is shown in the 1900 Census in Newton, Middlesex county, MA, together
with her daughter, Hattie, age 18 (born 4/1882).
AEHAAA Emma Jane
BAV shows that Emma Jane was born
4/12/1861 and died 9/29/1861.
AEHAAB Catherine
BAV shows simply "died
young".
AEHAAC Caroline
BAV states that Caroline died at age
5.
AEHAAD Oscar (Edwin)
BAV shows that
Oscar "died young".
AEHAAE Mary
BAV and HLC show Mary, daughter of
Charles, married Dr. John Lesh. Although BAV shows that they lived in New Jersey, HLC identifies
Dr. Lesh as a leather merchant in Boston, MA.
The 1900
Census records for Newton, MA, show Mary, age 32 (born 12/1867), as the
(second) wife of John H. Lesh, age 54 (born 5/1846).
BAV and HSUP
also show another Mary (AEHAI) as the wife of Dr. John Lesh. This is in error. Mary (AEHAI) is listed in her father's household in the 1860
Census records for Monroe county, PA, as age 12 (indicating a birth date of
1848). Refer also to the entry for Mary
(AEHAI).
AEHAAF Andrew Milton
BAV and HLC show
Andrew Milton as the son of Charles and Ann.
The most elaborate description of Andrew Milton, however, in contained
in "Burke ‑‑ The History of a North Carolina
County". Andrew Milton moved to
Burke county, NC about 1895 and was a prominent businessman. The North Carolina State Archive grave index
show that he was born 9/21/1871 and died 7/5/1931.
AEHAAG Hattie
Born 4/1882,
she appears in her mother’ household in the 1900 Census.
AEHAB Rufus
BAV and HSUP show
Rufus as a son of Stephen. Rufus, age
10, appears in his father's household in the 1850 Census records for Carbon
county, PA. In the 1860 Census records
for Monroe county, PA, Rufus, age 19, also appears in his father's
household.
Rufus married
Mary J. Edinger. The 1880 Census
records for Great Bend, Susquehanna county, PA, show Rufus, age 39; his wife
Mary, age 40; Emma, age 18; Elmer, age 13; Edmond, age 11; and Arthur, age 8. The 1900 Census records for Ramsey county,
Minnesota, show Rufus, age 59 (born 9/1840) and Mary, age 60 (born 3/1840).
AEHABA Emma Augusta
HSUP identifies Emma Augusta as a
daughter of Rufus. She appears in the
1880 Census records for Susquehanna county, PA, in her father's household. In the 1900 Census for Ramsey county,
Minnesota, she and her husband, John Hopkins, appear in her brother's
household; refer to Arthur S. (AEHABD).
In 1900, Emma's age is shown as 38 (born 5/1862), and her husband as age
41 (born 10/1858).
AEHABB Elmer E.
The 1880 Census records for
Susquehanna county, PA, show Elmer, age 13, in his father's household. Elmer probably died before 1900; in the 1900
Census, his mother's entry indicates that only three of her five children were
living ‑‑ and Emma Augusta, Edward, and Arthur can be accounted
for.
AEHABC Edward U.
The 1880 Census records for
Susquehanna county, PA, show "Edmond", age 11, in his father's
household. In the 1900 Census records,
Edward appears with his brother, Arthur (AEHABD), in Ramsey county, Minnesota;
his age is given as 31 (born 6/1868), and his marital status is shown as
divorced.
AEHABD Arthur S.
The 1880 Census records for
Susquehanna county, PA, show Arthur, age 8, in his father's household. The 1900 Census for Ramsey county,
Minnesota, shows Arthur, age 28 (born 10/1871), and his family: wife Ellen, age
21 (born 8/1878); father Rufus, age 59 (born 9/1840); mother Mary, age 60 (born
3/1840); sister Emma Hopkins, age 38 (born 5/1862); brother‑in‑law
John Hopkins, age 41 (born 10/1858), and brother Edward, age 31 (born 6/1868).
AEHABE Alice May
HSUP suggests
that Alice May was born about 1865; she must have died before 1900 since her
mother's entry on the 1900 Census shows that only three of her five children
were living ‑‑ and these can be accounted for.
AEHAC Elmira
BAV and HSUP show that Elmira was born about 1840 and
died young. She does not appear in the
1850 Census records.
AEHAD Angelina
BAV and HSUP show that Angelina was
born about 1840 and died young. She
does not appear in the 1850 Census records.
BAV shows her burial at Weissport, PA.
AEHAE Wilson
Wilson appears in his father's
household in the 1850 Census records for Carbon county, PA, and in the 1860
Census records for Pocono township, Monroe county, PA. In the 1880 Census for Stroudsburg, Monroe
county, PA, Wilson, age 35, is shown with Henrietta, age 32, Minnie, age 12,
and Sedwick, age 5.
The 1900
Census records for Clinton county, PA, show Wilson, age 54 (born 10/1845);
Henrietta, age 52 (born 3/1848); and Sedwick, age 24 (born 9/1875). BAV shows Henrietta's maiden name as
Stauffer.
AEHAEA Sedwick
Sedwick appears
in his father's household in the 1880 Census records for Monroe county, PA, and
the 1900 Census records for Clinton county, PA. BAV indicates he died 4/‑/1952; his wife, Bertha Kaul, died
9/‑/1952.
AEHAEB Gertrude/Minnie
Minnie, age 12, appears in the 1880
Census records for Monroe county, PA, in her father's household. BAV and HSUP do not reference Minnie but
refer to "Gertrude" as the daughter of Wilson and Henrietta. I suspect that Gertrude and Minnie are the
same.

BAV and HSUP
refer to Milo. He appears in his

6/18/1858 and died 2/9/1917; he lived in Morgantown, NC, with his wife Edna May
Barthold, born 3/29/1869, died 7/8/1957.
BAV and HSUP also indicate Michael had lived in Great Bend, PA,
(apparently before moving to NC). HSUP
further indicates that Michael married Massena M. Seibert (who probably was
Michael's first wife).
Phyllis Touchstone
(pktouch@home.com), a descendant, shows that Michael first wife was Massena M.
Seibert who died childless. Michael
then married Etna (not Edna) Mae Barthold and they had five children (only
three survived infancy). These three
were Michael William Kistler, Ruth Barthold Kistler, and Wilson Stephen
Kistler.

her entry.
The 1860
Census records for Monroe County, PA, show our subject, Mary (AEHAI), age 12,

Mary is absent from the 1850 Census records.
Mary (AEHAI) may have married and may have moved to New Jersey. I can find no trace of this, however.
