5. Anna Maria MUELLER, born Abt. 1736 in Edinbourg, Baden, Germany;
died 1829 in Freeburg, Stark Co., OH.

Notes for Christian LIVINGSTON:
The 1st reference we have to Christian LIVINGSTON m. Anna Spangler 19
Jul 1778, Hagerstown, Washington Co., MD. If he was either a son or a
bro. of Andrew LIVINGSTON, then he was probably b. this co., possibly in
Lancaster Co., PA 2 traditions, (1 related in the "History of Christian
Gnaegi"), claim that Christian was a German immigrant. He may have had a
former wife who d. MD. He warranted a tract of land located on the
Potomac River in Washington Co., MD. This 104 acre tract, called
"Storm," was sold to Michael Barkman 1 Apr 1793, by "Christian Levistone
& Ann his wife," who were then res.s, Bedford Co., PA. Christian's
stepson Christian Spangler & his wife Eve were also parties to the sale.
Christian probably remained in MD until 1788, when on 6 Dec he warranted
a 150 acre tract of land, Bedford Co., PA. (now Somerset Co.), which he
called "Distillery." It was situated in Quemahoning Twp., (now Somerset
Twp.) on Spruce Run, a branch of Stoney Creek. This acreage became the
site of the LIVINGSTON homestead. 3 dys later, Christian's eldest
stepson, John Spangler, warranted a 150 acre tract on Quemahoning Creek,
which he sold to his stepfather 5 Feb 1793. This tract was later
surveyed at 193 acres, & adjoined the lands of Christian Yoder & John
Vanderins. Christian LIVINGSTON took up 2 other tracts in Quemahoning,
100 acres warranted 15 March 1793, & 100 acres warranted 28 April 1794.
Both of these tracts, & the 1 he purchased from John Spangler, were
located in what is now Stoneycreek Twp. 1790 census of PA shows Christon
Leviston in Bedford Co., with 1 male 16 & up, 2 males under 16, & 4
females. Christian d. before 25 June 1800, when letters of
administration on his estate were granted to Anne Livingstone, widow, &
Jacob Yotter. On the same dy, a bond of $1200. was posted by Anne
Livingstone, Jacob Yotter, Andrew Wey, & Christian Spangler. The
inventory of Christian's estate, written in German, taken 27 June 1802,
& included some of the following items: 4 oxen, 10 cows, 1 bull, 7
calves, 2 mares, 1 filly, 1 foal, 18 pigs & 19 sheep; a wind mill; 2
plows & 1 harrow; a sled; a loom "and what belongs to it," 4 spinning
wheels, a steelyard, & a lantern; a shoemaker; misc. dishes, spoons,
plates, bowls, pots & crocks; 1 butterchurn; axes, augers, chisels,
planes, a hatchet, a mallet & a wedge; a grindstone & a whetstone; a
sheep shear; a bellows & fire tongs; 6 beds & 4 bedsteads; several
chests; misc. horse harness, collars, halters, bridles & chains; 2
saddles & 1 saddle bag; a watch; 2 psalters & 3 hymn books. Christian's
occupation as a distiller was apparent in his inventory; in addition to
the above items he also owned 1 still kettle, 11 casks, 1 barrel keg, 4
iron kettles, & 4 barrels of vinegar. His crops in the field included
wheat, grass & rye. Christian's estate was appraised at $658.33., &
realized an additional $106.71. at the venue sale. Christian was bur. in
a lone grave near Friedens, on a farm that was later owned by John Long.
A petition on Christian's estate was recorded 7 May 1805, Orphan's
Court, which named Christian's widow & all of his chldn.: "David
Levingston, eldest son; Ann Levingston, widow; Christian Royer &
Elizabeth his wife late Elizabeth Levingston, daughter; Jacob Knage &
Susanna his wife late Susanna Levingston, dau.; Catherine Levingston &
Mary Levingston, dau.; & Henry Levingston, Andrew Levingston & Ann
Levingston, minor chldn, by their guardian, Jacob Yoder. The petition
described Christian's landholdings, & asked that they be divided among
the heirs or sold at auction. Among those chosen by the petitioners to
examine the land were John & Christian Spangler, their stepbrothers. All
4 tracts of land were eventually awarded to David Levingston, & he paid
the other heirs their shares; the last payment being made in 1808. On 14
June 1806, David sold all 4 tracts to his brother-in-law, Christian
Royer. Christian Royer sold the entire parcel of land to John Wells in
1813, before removing to OH. Washington Co., Maryland, Deed Book H-8, p.

Germany with her 3 sons after her hus., Abraham Spangler, was killed by
a kick from a horse. Abraham d. Germany, later she moved to Adams Co.,
then Somerset Co., then m. Christian Livingstone. She supposedly
immigrated 1776. The traditional account identifies Anna as "Mary"
rather than Anna, & it IS by this name that she is recorded on 1 PA
census. son Abraham Spangler was allegedly b. 1775; & an IGI entry
exists for the b. Abraham Spangler to an Abraham & MARY Spangler at
Graffenroda, Sachen, 6 Jan 1775. Anna LIVINGSTON, Christian's widow,
remained in Somerset Co. for some yrs after her hus. d. In the 1800

males 16-26, 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-16, 3 females 16-26, & 1
female over 45. Her son-in-law Christian Royer res. with her family at
this time. Anna is listed on the tax assessment lists of Somerset Co.
1802-1806. not listed on the 1810 census for Somerset, but may be the
woman over 45 living with her son Christian Spangler. Anna moved to OH
sometime before Mar 1813, when her youngest dau. Anne m. Stark Co. to
Jacob Bachman/Baughman. Anna settled near Freeburg with her dau. &

PA abt 1807/8. All of her chldn eventually moved to OH, except David.
Her Spangler chldn remained in PA she d. at Risely homestead fall 1828,
bur. family graveyard on the farm. Letters of administration on her
estate were granted to her son-in-law Jacob Baughman. Her estate papers
do not specifically name her LIVINGSTON chldn, but do include
powers-of-attorney from her 2 surviving Spangler sons in PA, John &
Abraham, & from some of the chldn of her deceased son Christian
Spangler. Her son Andrew LIVINGSTON & her sons-in-law Elias Risely &
Jacob Baughman made numerous purchases at her estate sale. Anna's
administrator, Jacob Baughman, did not live long enough to settle her
estate, & the LIVINGSTON heirs were finally paid out of his estate 1832
& 1833. Each of the following received the sum of $65.42 & 1/2: Elias
Risily (hus. of Catherine LIVINGSTON), A. Livingston (Andrew), John
Messimore (hus. of Mary LIVINGSTON), Henry Clippart (guardian of Jesse
Livingston, only surviving son of Henry LIVINGSTON), Anna Baughman (Anne
Livingston, w/o Jacob Baughman), David Livingston's heirs, & Susana

Barbara REED 1804.
iv. Henry LIVINGSTON, born 1790 in Quemahoning Twp., Bedford Co., PA;
died Abt. 1817 in Stark Co., OH.

Notes for Henry LIVINGSTON:
1802, Anna LIVINGSTON applied for a guardian for her 3 minor chldn under
the age 14; Henry was the 1 of those named. Jacob Yoder was appointed
for all of the chldn. On the 2nd Mon. Sep 1805, Henry LIVINGSTON came
into court & said he was above 14 yrs & requested John Spangler (his
half-brother) be appointed as his guardian. Henry had probably turned 15
shortly beforehand, & therefore b. late 1790. (He is probably not 1 of
the males accounted for in the Christian LIVINGSTON household in 1790;
besides the father, the household probably contained son David & stepson
Abraham Spangler). Henry apparently m. PA, as OH keeps very good m.
records, & none has been located for him. Henry d. before Apr 1831, when
his son, Jesse LIVINGSTON applied for a guardian. Since Henry had only 1
chld, he probably d. shortly after his son's b. 1816. Henry's bro. David
Livingston had a son Henry, b. 1817, possibly given that name in memory
of his bro. Henry's wife may be the Elizabeth Levenstein who married
Henry Rafesnider, Stark Co. 1837 as his 2nd wife. Henry Levingston's son
Jesse chose Henry Klippard, Osnaburg as his guardian, & 1850, Henry
Klippard's dau, Frances was living with Henry & Elizabeth (Levenstein)
Rafesnider.


v. Susanna LIVINGSTON, born 12 June 1782 in Washington Co., MD; died
10 March 1830 in North Twp., Harrison Co., OH; married Jacob GNAGEY, Sr.
1804; born 23 February 1780 in Somerset Co., PA; died 23 July 1871 in
Harrison Co., OH.

Notes for Susanna LIVINGSTON:
Susanna & Jacob moved to what is now Harrison Co., OH abt 1806, settling
near Scio. An account of this family is given in Charles Hanna's: "OH
Valley Genealogies." Susanna's yr of b. given in the Elias Gnagey's
History as 1780, but this would clash with her sis Elizabeth; also, it
would make Susanna age 50 at the birth of her last child. Since her
birth order in her father's estate papers places her between Elizabeth &
Catherine, then she must have been b. 1782.

vi. Andrew LIVINGSTON, born Abt. 1793 in Quemahoning Twp., Bedford Co>Co., PA; died Abt. 1834; married (1) Christina MACKENTARFER 15 February
1814 in Stark Co., OH; born Abt. 1795; married (2) Sarah DEWEESE 09
March 1820; born Abt. 1795.

Notes for Andrew LIVINGSTON:
Andrew res. Stark Co., until abt 1816, when he removed to Wayne Twp.,
Wayne Co., OH. The will of Andrew's former father-in-law, George
Mackentarfer, proved 1817, was worded in such a way as to indicate that
Andrew & Christina had at least 2 chldn, 1 of which was male. 1820
census Wayne Twp., Wayne Co., OH shows Andrew with 1 male & 1 female
under 10. Since he had just m. Sarah Deweese, these must be chldn by his
former wife. 1827, a James McFadden was appointed guardian for a Sarah &
Charles LIVINGSTON in Wayne Co., this apparently being for the legacy
they were to receive from their maternal gfather. Numerous land
transactions are recorded for Andrew in both Stark & Wayne Co.s
(including 1 contracted with the above James McFadden), the last being a
purchase from George Bair in 1823. Andrew attended his mother's estate
sale Dec 1828 & purchased the following items: 1 spinning wheel, 2
pillows, 2 & 3/4 yards of flax linen, 1 & 1/2 yards of flax linen, 1
pair of mittens, knitting needles, yarn & flax, 3 handkerchiefs, thread,
2 bottles, 1 towel, 1 spoon & tin cup, 1 sugar box & 1 chest. The total
of his purchases came to $6.01. Andrew is not found 1830 census for OH,
but was living as late as 1833, when he was paid the balance owing him
from his mother's estate. I have been unable to determine what became of
him after that; a search of census indices for about a dozen western
states in 1850 has yielded no Andrew or Sarah Livingstons which match.


vii. Anne LIVINGSTON, born Abt. 1795 in Stonycreek Twp., Somerset Co.,
PA; died in Stark Co., OH; married Jacob Baughman, Sr. 04 March 1813 in
Stark Co., OH; born 24 January 1790 in Lehigh Co., PA.

Notes for Anne LIVINGSTON:
Anne & Jacob res. Nimishillan Twp., Stark Co., OH. 1820 census of his
family shows 1 male 26-45, 1 female 16-26, & 1 female under 10. 1830
census we find 1 male 30-40, 1 male 20-30, 2 males under 10 & 1 female
30-40. Anny Backman is enumerated in 1840 with 1 female 40-50, 1 male
10-15, & 1 male 5-10. Anne apparently d. before 1850. Neither she nor
any of her chldn appear on the 1850 census, but her 2 younger sons are
found in 1860. Jacob Baughman was the administrator of his
mother-in-law's estate, but did not long survive her, dying early in
1831, & the balance due Anna Livingston's heirs was pd out of his
estate. Jacob's personal estate amounted to $1525.83, a considerable sum
at that time.

viii. Mary LIVINGSTON, born 23 May 1786 in Washington Co., MD; died 07
February 1859 in West Twp., Columbiana Co., OH; married (1) John CAPP
1807 in Somerset Co., PA; born Abt. 1780; married (2) John MESSIMORE,
Jr. 12 November 1815 in Stark Co., OH; born 03 December 1791 in York
Co., PA; died 02 July 1874 in West Twp., Columbiana Co., OH.

Notes for Mary LIVINGSTON:
Mary m. John Kopp PA. "John Capp" 1st appears on the Somerset Co., tax
assessments 1806 Somerset Twp., with 60 acres, 1 horse, 2 cows & a
cabin. He continues on the lists with the same property through 1810;
1811 list he has only his horse & 2 cows. A Peter Capp in the same Twp
has what appears to be John's 60 acres & cabin in this yr; apparently
John sold the acreage to Peter (probably his father or bro.). John is
enumerated 1810 census for Somerset Twp. with 1 male 26-45, 4 males
under 10, 1 female 26-45, & 1 female under 10. Since John & Mary m.
1807, she would have been his 2nd wife. 2 male chldn which appear on a
later census, when Mary is the w/o John Messimore cannot be accounted
for as Messimore chldn, & were possibly Mary's sons by John Kopp. Only 1
son of John Kopp & Mary is known. A Deed between David Levingston & his
sib.s recorded 28 Apr 1814 contains the following reference: "this 2 May
1807 David Levenston has pd his sis. Mary Levenstonen pd in full the
part of her portion of the ____? signed by Johannes Kopp." Although
still referred to by her maiden name, she & John would have been already
m. at this time. Another document of this type shows both of her m.
sis.s, Elizabeth & Susanna referred to by their maiden names. John Kopp
is not listed on the tax list after 1811. According to "Francis Shaw &
Relatives," published 1921, Mary's former hus., whose name was not given
therein, d. of wounds received War of 1812. The author of the above was
living in the mid to late 1800s & was personally acquainted with many
members of the Messimore family. 12 Nov 1815, Stark Co., OH, Mary Cope &
John "Massimore" were m. by Michael Miller, A German Bapt. Minister.
John Messimore b. 3 Dec 1791 York Co., Pa., s/o John & Catherine
(Derwechter) Messimore. John was 5 yrs younger than his new wife. John &
Mary settled in West Twp., Columbiana Co., near John's mother & sib.s.
John was a prosperous farmer, who owned real estate which was valued at
$1600 on 1850 census. According to "Francis Shaw & Relatives," the 1st
home of the family was a log cabin; later they built a frame house. Both
d. in the frame house; Mary in 1859 & John 2 Jul 1874. They are bur.
Plains Ch. Cem. The family farm was left to John & Mary's unmarried
dau.s, Anna & Lucinda. A 3rd unmarried dau., Mary, was listed on the
1860 census as "insane," & was later committed to an institution. In
addition to their own chldn, John & Mary raised their gdau. Lydia
Messimore, d/o their deceased son David.

(Ukwn) REED.
7. Regina (Ukwn) REED, born 29 December 1756; died 09 April 1846 in
Conemaugh Twp., Somerset Co., PA.

Notes for Jacob REED, Sr.:
In the name of God, Amen, I Jacob REED of Conemaugh Twp, Somerset Co, am
sick & weak of body, but God be thanked of still of good knowledge &
intellect. 1st, I give my body over to the earth & my soul I command
into the hand of Almighty God. In the 1st place, I decree & authorize
that my wife Regina shall have of my worldly goods with which God has
blessed me in this world, namely 1 cow, my pipe-oven & a bed & bedstead.
2 things, a small table & a small chest should my Executor keep back of
the sale money for my wife Regina. My remaining movable goods should be
sold & the debts should be paid from it. If anything is left over when
all is paid, the remaining money should be divided into 4 parts; 1 part
for my wife Regina, 1 part for my son Jacob, 1 part for my dau. Barbara
& 1 part for my dau. Susanna. For her chldn, should my executor take her
part & buy of it household goods, & my dau. Susanna should have it lent
until her eldest chld comes of age. In the wk following my death my
movable goods should be sold at public sale & my stationary goods, the
land, should be sold at public sale. If it comes up to a $100 but not
sell at public sale, thus should my my Executor lend it. An acre
thereafter should he sell & my wife Regina should have the rent of it to
her use. When the land is sold, the money should be lent, & my wife
Regina should have the interest from it as long as she remains my widow
or bears my name. As soon as she remarries or dies, then should that
money be divided among my heirs in equal parts to my dau. Barbara &
Jacob & my dau. Susanna. Her part should be set aside until her chldn
come of age, & that 3rd part my Executor should take any buy from it her
clothing & household goods as she needs. The Executor must clear my land
& that which I have sold to Michael Miller, & must give 1/3 out of my
3rd to Michael Miller, according to the agreement that I Jacob REED, &
Michael Miller have with 1 another. It should be paid out of the money
owing to Michael Miller. If it is not sufficient, he should take it from
the other money until he can pay it. I appoint & decree my neighbor
Jacob Kauffman, waggoner, as the Executor of my remaining estate. This
is my last will & testament. So I have signed myself by indicating with
my own hand & seal.
