I have a Kough Bible, purchased from an online dealer, that lists the initials and birth dates for the Edmond Kough family. I believe Edmond may have been a brother to Washington (1832-1913) and Alexander Kough, sons of George Kough and Phoebe Chambers. I would like to exchange information with anyone with an interest in these families.
The family record lists Edmond born 19 December 1835, M. A. born 27 May 1836, J. W. born 8 Sept 1856, B. J. born 9 September 1858, J. (or I) B. born 19 October 1860, M. E. born 29 April 1863, S. A. born 30 October 1865, M. A. born 1867.
I believe this Bible belonged to this family listed on the 1870 CENSUS, CLEARFIELD CO., Beccaria Twp., : Edmund B. Kough, age 34, Jacob W. 14, Barbara 11, Oretta B. 10, Mary E. 7, Sarah A. 5, Martha A. 3 and a housekeeper, Harriett Smith 25 and her two sons, Andrew W. 8 and David 5.
Records in the Coalport, PA Library of the Crossroads Cemetery, Beccaria Township lists Mary Kough, wife of E. B., died 28 September 1869.
Also recorded in the Bible - " E. B. Kough married Caroline Grumian in Clay Twp. 2 March 1876. Witness J. Wagoner, Eli E. Shore, J.P."
The 1880 CENSUS, HUNTINGDON CO., Clay Twp., E.D. 203, page 349A lists E. B. Kough 45; wife Carrie Kough 38; stepsons, David Griman 14 and Wesley Griman 13; his daughter, Alice 11; their daughter, Ella 1 and son William 3 months.

The Kough family I am researching was in Huntingdon County, PA in the early 1800's and later in Clearfield, Cambria and Blair counties. I haven't found the Rosensteel name in connection with this family, but there were numerous Kough families in early Pennsylvania. When you find some first names, perhaps I can help. Good luck!

I have a George Kough (1790, born in Germany) that married Phoebe Chambers (1800, born in NJ), but no additional info them on. George's father is George also with mother Margaret, both immigrants from Germnay. George(1790) is 1 of 7 kids. I am from his brother Samuel. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated, sclark@consultant.com.

After reading Sidney's reply I looked through my files, and did indeed find John J. Rosensteel. My records show Rosanna Elizabeth “Lizzie” Kough (16 July 1832 – 23 March 1907) was the daughter of Joseph Kough and Mary (Miller) Kough. Elizabeth married John J. Rosensteel on 22 February 1878. Mr. Rosensteel had a merchantile business in Shirleysburg, PA. Their children were J. Albert, Harry, John, and a daughter. This information is in a Kough Family manuscript that I got from The Clearfield County Historical Society and doesn’t cite sources.
Joseph Kough, age 50, is listed in the PA 1860 census in Huntingdon Co., Shirley Twp.with his wife, Mary, age 45, and the following children: Andrew, 18; Margaret, 16; Sarah, 13; Nancy, 11; Elizabeth, 8; Charlotte, age 6.
Some of Joseph’s descendants moved to Bourbon Co., Kansas in the 1870’s.
As Sidney mentioned Joseph Kough was the son of the German immigrants George and Margaret Kough. The other sons were George, Samuel, David, Jacob, and Benjamin. George Kough was married to Phoebe Chambers, who was a sister of Sarah Chambers the wife of Samuel Kough. I'm tracing the descendants of Washington Kough, the son of George and Phoebe.
