Daniel Poffenberger who married Mary Ann Malone was also married to Barbara Miller. Mary Ann died after giving birth to James L. Poffenberger. He was married 1. Amelia Higgs b. 10/6/1835 Wash. Co. MD, married 1/15/1857 Lee Co., IL
1. Elias L. d. 1863
2. Ellen d. 1869
3. Susan b. 1860
4. James b. 1862
5. Mary b. 1867
6. Minnie 1868-1868
7. Sherman b. 1870
8. Charles b. 1872
9. Elmer b. 1874
10. Nora b. 1878

James and Amelia are in the census in 1880 - sometime between 1880 and 1885 Amelia died and he changed his name to George Washington Richardson and remarried
2. Louisa Banner b. 1868-1887 they had one child Dena Richardson. after she died he remarried

3. Sarah Amanda Libbee 1871-1928
1. Truman Elijah Richardson 1890-1961
2. Flossie E. Richardson 1892-?
3. Ruth M. 1894-?
4. Pearle G. 1897-1918
5. George W 1901-1977

George Washington Richardson aka James L. Poffenberger died 1901. He is my gggrandfather.

I am still uncertain that James' father Daniel is the son of Henry and Catherine Bogner. They have birthdates of all the kids but him in the Frederick County records. Perhaps they got them from tombstones, since they all are buried there and he isn't.

My problem is this. Mary Ann Malone and Barbara Miller lived on adjacent farms in Washington County, just north of the Antietam battlefield. Mary Ann is buried on her family farm. If Daniel is from the Henry/Cath Bog Poff family what was he doing in Washington County? Henry and Catherine Bogner Poffenberger family all lived and died in Frederick. Henry was a blacksmith, seems that the Frederick Poffs were blacksmiths and the Wash. co. Poffs were farmers. But Daniel was also a blacksmith.

Hi Jeannie, thanks for responding and providing your James Poffenberger family info.

I too have wondered which Daniel was the real son of Henry & Catherine (Bogner) Poffenberger. I have a full copy of Georgiana Randall’s “Poffenberger Family” given to me in 1991 by Barbara Powell who had made herself a microfiche copy and asked if I would like her paper copy. Many thanks to Barbara!

Georgiana Randall shows (pg. 38) the son of Henry (A381) & Catherine (Bogner) Poffenberger as the Daniel who married Sophia Palmer. But she also says this Daniel was the one who married 1st. Mary Ann Malone. She later (pg 131) shows the same Henry (C54) Poffenberger as married 1st Unknown and 2nd Annet Montgomery and having son, Daniel Poffenberger who married Barbara Miller. Georgiana has these families confused and I don’t blame her. I believe like you that our Daniel Poffenberger b. 1812 married 1st Mary Ann Malone and 2nd Barbara Miller. The other Daniel was born 1818 would have been only 16 years old in 1834 and not likely to have married that young.

Throw into this mixed is my Henrietta Poffenberger who lived with Daniel & Barbara (Miller) Poffenberger. Her husband, Jacob Fiser’s obituary (1894) states he married the daughter of the late Wm. Poffenbarger. Henrietta’s death cert. Feb. 21, 1924 says she was 90 year old and born in Hagerstown, Md, Feb 5, 1834 the dau. of William Puffinbarger, no mother’s name given. With this birthdate she would have been born before Daniel Poffenberger’s marriage to Mary Ann Malone, May 14, 1834. That is why I’m zeroing in on the William Poffenberger who married Mary Fink, Apr. 18, 1833. And why would Daniel & Barbara take Henrietta into their household unless she was closely related? Could this William be a brother to Daniel who died about 1835-1840 leaving a orphan? Family rumor has it that Henrietta was part Indian, and that she would get very angry if someone mentioned it. So who was her mother and was her father William ever married to her mother? Was her mother of mixed ancestry? Etc………….
Plus--- Henrietta’s husband, Jacob H. Fiser, was the son of Jacob Fiser and Maria (B524) Puffenberger both from Berkeley Co.VA. She was the daughter of John Puffenberger who married Oct. 24 1809 Phebe Roberts in Washington Co. MD.

Any help would be appreciated,

James L. Poffenbarger is my great great grandfather. I am looking for any insight into the sudden name change, my great grandfather Charles and my grandfather were estranged so any family stories or information died with Charles.
Thanks,

Have you found any more information about the name change. I'm curious about this too. Based on that, I am his great grandson. My grandfather was George Lee Richardson. His mother was Sarah Amanda Richardson (Libbee). George Lee was born in the same year that George W died.

Thanks

Mark
