I'm looking for information on Elizabeth Gumbert who married Henry Pence. They lived in PA and they had at least one child that I'm aware of: William H Pence, b.1815 and d.6/27/1858 who married Christina Hepler, b. 3/1/1819 and d.1/3/1880. There is a discrepency on her death date. Any information would be helpful. You can e-mail me at katies76@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Elizabeth Gumbert married Henry Pence March 13, 1782. They had 13 children I believe William H being one and Mary being another. Mary Pence married George Gumbert and they had 6 children one of them being Manoah Gumbert. Menoah married Emmaline Motter and had 7 children, one of them being Edwin Furman who married Mina Grace Reitz. Edwin and Mina had 2 children Ruth and Mervin. Mervin is my grandfather. I have mroe info. on the Gumbert side if I can be of help. It sounds like who you are looking for. I'm not sure if Elizabeth Gumbert is related to some of her son in law George Gumbert's family or not yet. I will let you know if I find anything else out.

Elizabeth's parents are David Gumbert (b. 12/1/1825) and Elizabeth Whited. I don't know any more about Elizabeth Whited. David's parents are William Gumbert (b. 08/1799) and Margaret Peck. I don't know any more about Margaret Peck. William's parents are Christian Gumbert (b. 1740) and Margareta Gress. Christian's dad is Johannes Gamber. See Gumbert message boards from Jeanne Samsel and Robert Gumbert. They are also part of this same lineage. Good luck, hope this helps!

Kerri, who is Eliazbeth's father? Could she be Johannes daughter? The earliest Elizabeth I can find is 2nd GGfather
Christian's daughters One was Maria Elizabeth who married
Henry Bens or Bems or it could have been Pence and they
couldn't read it. I have no dates when either girl was born or married. The other girl named Elizabeth married Michael Hollebach. The Bens or Bems Elizabeth is listed as having 3 kids,Margaretta born 9-19-1807 Westmorland County
Johannes Jacob born 3-16-1811 and Christian born Jan 1 1810
The child William H and Mary - the only Williams I have is
3rd GGfather who married Margaret Peck and they had a son
William born 5-14-1824 who married Caroline Brinker. He died
11-27-1888. Unless their parents came from Johanne & his wife of no name and no kids names only Christian being the oldest. its a good possibility because of the date

I have a David Gumbert as her father and Elizabeth Whited as her mother but cannot find anything else on these two people as of yet so I'm not sure where they come from or if they are definitely her parents 100%. This Elizabeth I have listed as married to Henry Pence and they have 13 kids, one of whom is Mary Pence who married George Gumbert. Maybe there was some cousin/2nd cousin marriages back then. I will check out some more and see if I can follow it back, forward and around some more in the next few days.

I also found a Johannes Gumbert b. about 1671 in Germany with parents listed as Georg Jakob Gumbert and Barbara Danziesen and wife is Verena Geiger. This is also the first time I've found any other info. relateing to him. Do you think it could be the same?

I just found most of this info. when I was searching around the past few days so haven't had time to verify yet. Have you used the Latter Day Saints geneology web site yet? They have been very helpful to me.

PS I'm glad to have found some more of my more immediate family!!

Hi Kerri,
I think you are on to something here with Johanne. I found a message on world family tree cd list that said Johanne was born in Koenigslutter, Gernany and that Gamber was a well known name in the region south of Palatinate near the French boarder in the early 1700's . The Johanne born 1671 doesn't match the birth of our Johanne. Ship record says he was 32 when he sailed and arrive in Phil, PA in 1732 so I don't think this is him but maybe a relative? No I havent check out the Latter Day Saints I'm kind of new to all of this and don't know where to look. I found your message by asking for gumbert in pa. It's nice to have found you since my family had no contact with Mervny or his family. Think I'll try calling Lois, I think she will be glad to hear from me.

Hi Kerry, I was talking to my older brother and he remembers
my Uncle Clyde and Aunt Viola having a son named Robert
and he became a minister. Do you know if this Robert that has been looking for information on the Gumbert's is him?
Do you have his e-mail address for him that I could have?
Manoah's kids in order of birth were: Murta-Ellin, Charles Wilson, Wesley Arthur, Lawson Norman, Edwin Furman and Franklin Clyde. I remember going to Charlie and Clyde's home when I was small. They lived in East McKeesport on a river bank. You had to climb steep steps to get to the front yard. Please contact him if you can. I'd like to talk to him.
Thanks alot. Jeanne

This is the one and the same! I met him the same way I met you adn now he and I e-mail eachother quite often. His family has set up a website that has a bunch of photos, etc. for the Gumberts and the McCauley's (Viola's family) and otehr families that are all linked to him somehow. If you look above at one of his messages you can get a lot on info. you might be looking for including the info. on Franklin Clyde and Viola Mc Cauley. I have that too and can get it to you in the next day or two. I just got back this morrning form out of town and am a bit train lagged!

Surnames: Pence Pentz Gumbert Lanker
Hello Kerri,

Do you know if Elizabeth and Henry had a daughter named Sarah, born in 1824 and died sometime between 1854 and 1856? My g-g-g-grandmother is Sarah Pentz (Pence) Lanker. The only information I have about her parents is that her father was Henry Pence and her mother was a Miss Gumbert.

Thank you!

Joseph
