Pfost is a different name entirely. The Powers name was Anglicized on the south branch from its original Germanic name which was Bowers. Their baptisms are recorded in the Swatara region of eastern Penna, and Martin and Valentine's parents were John Michael and Anna Catherina Bauer. Their sons John Valentine were baptized Sept. 17, 1739 and Dec. 27, 1841 respectively. They were not Brethren until after 1749, and went to the South Branch sometime in the 1750s. Valentine married first Susannah (Lancisco) Hause, a widow, and after her death he married Mary Coberly, a widow of Dr. James Stell Coberly. Valentine Powers wrote his will in 1819 and it was probated Aug. 12, 1823. He had a son Valentine Powers and there was also a third generation Valentine Powers. There were also several Stump families in the South Branch area. Did you get my message of yesterday? If not, I will resend it. Emmert Bittinger -----Original Message----- From: Diana M. Nelson [mailto:rsdmn@aurora.uaf.edu] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 8:00 AM To: BRETHREN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BRE] Could Valentine Powers/Pfost be a Pfautz? Dear Merle and List, Why I put that on the list about Valentine Power/Powers is because HE could be the link to the PA to VA connection of my Stump and Neff lines to Hardy Co. VA(WV). Martin and Valentine are both in the original land holders around Hardy(Grant Co.)-South Branch of Potomac, VA(WV). Also was the Michael Stump married to Catherine Neff and Leonard Neff married to Magdalene Feg. Valentine Pfost's death is recorded in the Old Mill Creek(Lutheran & Reformed) Church of 10/27/1800 as is the baptisms of my Sarah Neff and her brother Absalom Neff(George Neff's children) at Petersburg, Grant Co., WV on 1798. I see that Valentine Powers/Pfost line married into the Leonard Hyre, Hinkles & Crites in VA and they were also connected to the Brethren. I also have a Hinkle connection- Jesse Hinkle Wilson born 1807 in Hardy Co. but don't know where he fits in yet. But now I know he is 1/2 German, and his mother could have been Brethren from PA. There are Stumps who were baptized by Elder Michael Pfautz at Conestoga congregation. Hannes Stump and his wife, Elizabeth plus Margaret Stump in 1748. Does anyone else claim these Stumps or think they connect? I am still trying to divide the Johann George Stumpff line and the Johan Julian Stumpf line. I am wondering if there is a connected to each other back in Germany because of the Casper & Johan George names in both lines. Therefore it might help if both lines work together. I see other similarities of some of the lines going up into Canada, some staying in PA and others going to VA. "John Julian Stump, 1741, File # 211, Will Book F, pg. 236." STUMP, Johann Julian. Philadelphia County. Yeoman. March 12, 1741. August 17, 1741. F.236. Wife: Maria. Children: Jacob, George, Johann, Mary, wife of William Hoite, and Catharine, wife of John Keim. Exec: George and Jacob Stump. Wit: James Robbinson, Jacob Kroe (his mark), Robert Jones. "George Stump: 1774, File 2, Book Q, pg. 3" STUMP, Geo. Phila. Co. Yeoman. 17 Oct 1773. 19 April 1774. Q:3. Father: John Julian Stump. Daughter: Elizabeth, wife of Jacob Hegne, sole legatee, devisee and exec. It looks like Johan George Stump of the Julian line only had a daughter Elizabeth who married Jacob Hegne. Their line went to Canada. Then I see a Jacob Stump and Elizabeth Becker from the Julian Stump line, who were their children? Once we get the 3 sons pinpointed the other Stumps must be from other lines? Right? I have another question on the Johannes Stump who was the son of Julian Stump. I read he was at Ephrata. Did he have any children or a wife? If not then the Johannes Stump up by Bernville with also a Dunkard connection could be from the Johann Georg Stumpff line because he had a wife and children. Just thinking out loud. DEVLIN - PFOST - POST Trying to find the name of a spouse for Isaac PFOST/POST Sr. (born ? Feb.1, 1791 Hardy Co. Va) son of Valentine PFOST/POST & Barbara DEVLIN. Any information would be so greatly appreciated. Thank-you, Rose, E-mail: Rose@sydcom.net >From this query I see Valentine was married to Barbara DEVLIN does this connect with anyone in PA?
