Karen --

Sorry I took so long to reply. I am afraid I am no help to you. My great greatgrandfather, Levi H. Knabb (born in Berks County, PA 3/23/1828, died in Gordon, PA 5/12/1905) married Susan Bright (born 1831 in Reading, PA, died 1893 in Gordon, PA). They had 4 children: Edward A. who died at age 2, Wilmot born about 1857, Hartman W. (8/22/1851-12/22/1891), and my greatgrandmother Mary E. (1854-7/2/1915). Good luck!

I do not know the parents or siblings of Levi H. Knabb. I have one possibility which I cannot yet verify. My grandfather's middle name was Hartman and I was always told this was a family name. One of Levi's sons was named Hartman. My theory is that Levi's middle name was Hartman. Spiess Cemetery records (Berks County) show a lady name Salome Knabb, nee Hartman (born 11/17/1783, died 3/22/1847) who had 6 children between 1806 and 1823, none of whom survived to adulthood. He husband is listed as Johann, perhaps the Johannes (born 1/26/1779, died 8/29/1844) in the same Cemetery. If you have an further information, please let me know. Thanks!

I was thinking the same thing. I will send what I have on this family (acquired from church records some time ago -- anything promising should be double checked) to your email address. I have it that Salome did have children who survived. Worth looking into! I reccommend looking up Estate Records at the Registry of Wills. I see that Johannes' estate was settled in 1844, apparently no will, administrated by a Sarah Knabb and others. There may be useful names among the papers. Just knowing who Sarah was would be useful. I'd appreciate learning what you discover.
