I have been doing alot of searching for my husband's side of the family. His Gr.Gr.Gr.Gr.G'pa is Daniel / wife: Barbara Miller. I have no information re: their B-days or anything else. Just their names. Could you send me info on them. I do have quite a bit of info on 10 of the children; including some copies of marriage certificates, one death certificate and some cemetary script.

If you would like to trade information, I would love for you to let me know and we can make arrangements. Thank you.

Hello again Susanne . . I made copies for you at work of all of the Poffenbarger/ Barber lines. I also have spotty info on your family as well. To get started, I have a couple of questions.

1. I only have 10 children for Daniel and Barbara Miller. They are . . Nancy Catherine, Alice, Ellen E., Mary, Joe, George, John R., Daniel, Scot and William. Could you send me the other four and their info. (Or send it to me with all you have.)

2. I don't have anything beyond Daniel and Barbara . . have you been able to find anything?

3. Now . . how my husband is related to the Poff. / Barbers:

Daniel and Barbara Poffenbarger
Daughter: Nancy Catherin
Married Josiah Barber
***Daughter: Anna Lee Barber
Married John E. Funk
Son of John: Oscar Andrew Funk
Married Mary ann Zimmerman
Daughter: Elta Pauline Funk
Married Sidney A. M. Schultz
Son: Douglas Arthur Schultz
Married - ME!!! Judith Lee
***
This is where your line comes in. Anna Lee Barber's next younger brother was Wm. H.:

Son of Josiah-William Henry Barber
Wife-1: Ella Nora Palmer
Son of Wm. Henry - John Henry Barber
Wife: Ruth Mae Williams
Daughter of John/Ruth - Mildred Barber
Husband-2: Theodore Tuomi

who I believe is your father??? I think we have it connected.

I have a lot of stuff to send you if you could give me your address. Re: the pictures, we are going to be moving in the next week to a new house and sadly all the Poffenbarger and Barber pictures are packed. As soon as I get in to them, I'll let you know what they are and send you copies of what you don't have.

Thank you again for your help. Everyone is very excited about all of this.

I'll wait to hear re: your address and then send the pages off to you. They are hand written and I hope legible to you.

Julie,
I have much info on the Funks as I have been in touch with another cousin, Julie who is the daughter of John Edward Funk. I can't wait to recieve all of your info!
Daniel's parents are reported to be Henry Poffenberger and Catherine Bogner. Barbara's parents are believed to be John Miller and Ruth Dudley. I've hit dead ends in this area so far.
The other 4 children are Lillian, Henrietta, Elizabeth, and Henry.
I will send files and my address by email.

I, too, am related to Henry Poffenberger. From the information given to me by family it is believed that Henry was born on September 16, 1793, died or buried on March 31, 1843 (according to church records at Zion Lutheran in Middletown, MD); aged 49-6-13. Am not sure of the accuracy of the following. If your information is different, please let me know. He probably was married by 1813 to Catherine Bogner, daughter of Jacob; she was born August 18, 1793 and died January 18, 1857.

According to census records, they had the following children:
*JACOB, b. February 17, 1814 (my relative);
DANIEL, b. 1817/1818;
ELLEN(or Eleanora), b. March 26, 1818, buried Church Hill Cemetery, Frederick County, MD; married (Frederick County license) June 2, 1837, to Joseph Schildknecht;
HENRY, born April 29, 1820, died December 19, 1896;
ELIZABETH, born July 25, 1822, and died ?. Married (Frederick County license) March 29, 1847, to Jacon Weller. In 1850 census had son Hezekiah Weller, aged 3, and had also in her home Calvin Poffenberger, aged 10.;
GEORGE born October 8, 1824, and died January 31, 1895, buried Church Hill, Frederick County, MD;
MARTHA born 1826, married (Frederick County license) February 9, 1849 to Jacob Baer. Also called Martha Magdalene.

If you have additional information as well as any documents that verifies this information I would love to have a copy of it. I am in the process of trying to document and verify all information that has been given to me as I have found conflicting information on the internet from other branches of the Poffenberger family. I am originally from the Frederick County, Maryland area where my ancestors have lived for generations. On a recent trip home I was able to get to several cemeteries and take photos of some of the tombstones. Unfortunately, I did not have time to get to all the places I needed to go. That will be for a future trip. I am anxiously awaiting a reply.
