Re: Looking for Knachel Family Members
Hi Lisa,
The only info I have on Ester is that she married Abner R. T. Wentz on 25 May 1882 in Starke Co., Indiana and they may have lived in the Pulaski Co., Indiana area.
I show 8 children for them: Francis, Cyrus, Ernest, Effie, Devon, Vida, Leonard, and Loretta.
I beleive Her parents might have been George and Rebecca (Lower) Knachel, but I have been unable to establish any firm connection as of yet.
There are quite a few Knachel's scattered around Ohio and they are the ones I know most about as that is where my Grandfather was from. His family was from the Paulding Co., Ohio area and lived for a short time in Allen Co., Indiana.
Hope some of this helps you, Laurie

Hi Laurie
Thanks for replying to my message. You wouldn't know anything further on Abner Wentz at all would you? Like when and where he was born and who his parents were. Esther and Abner's children's spouses were (some of them) Francis married Anna Nairn Vida married David Bowman and Devon died Sep 3 1919 aged 16 in Pulaski.
I had no idea at all who Esther's parent's may have been so thankyou for that info. Is Esther in your tree at all? Thanks again, any extra info you may have would be quiet welcome. Lisa :-)

Re: Looking for Knachel Family Members
Hi Lisa,
I do not have any information on Abner at all. Esther is a cousin of mine, but just through which branch I do not know yet. As all the Knachel's are related, I pick up any stray ones I find, when I am researching my Grandfathers line. That is how I ran across the information I have on Esther and Abner. Sorry I cannot help any further than that.

Re: Looking for Knachel Family Members
Laurie, who is your Grandfather? My grandfather was Ray Knachel and Vida was my grandmother. My mom is Barbara Joyce and the only one on your list that is unaccounted for is Uncle Al. I am interested in Harlen and Lula Campbell. How much do you know about them?

Re: Looking for Knachel Family Members
Laurie i have Sarah Ester Knachel who married Abner wentz parents as George Knachel and Jayne Payne(2nd wife) Rebecca Lower was his 3rd wife. Georges first wife was Jane McNeal. Some of this info came from family members on my Thompson side living a few years ago. I believe i have obits on some of these. My relatives use to go visit these people in North Judson, Indiana. George is buried in North Judson Cemetery in Indiana.

Re: Looking for Knachel Family Members
Kathy,
Hi. Another relative. It's a small World. I have an Enoch Knachel in my records (Born 1855). He had two sisters Sarah Knachel (Born 1849) and Marilyn Knachel (Born 1854). There were Children of a John Knachel (not me) (Born 1826) who was a Brother to Emmanuel Knachel (Born 6/22/1830) who is my Great Great Great Grandfather. Assuming all this is right, then Enoch may be the same Enoch Knachel you noted.
Feel free to pass on more information or ask questions. John.
