Anyone can get a copy of this issue, the July/Summer 1998 (Vol. 4, no. 3) for $5 ppd. It's 58 pages. Subscribers for 1998 won't need to send in any extra money. Heck, it's been delayed so long... Also, we need to update the web site. I'd like to have a skeleton of the various family lines on the web site, and I'd also like to have the queries indexed for easier searching. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I have been "off line" for a few weeks. In the interim, I have discovered that I am descended from Harriet Konkel of Sussex Co, NJ. (I had been looking for my father in law's Kunkel roots previously!) Harriet was married to John W. Warner of Walpack, Sussex Co, NJ. John was born in 1822 (about March 8, 1822). He died on June 26, 1894. He is buried in a church yard in Springvalley, NJ. Harriet and John had three sons and a daughter. John N., Frank M., Marcus B., and Sarah C. (my great great grandmother). Does anyone have information on Harriet's parents or siblings. This is a new "discovery" for me. I have just started to research her line. -Stephen Emery Louisville, KY

My great grandfather, Frank Kunkel, was a blacksmith in Hyde Park, MA. He emmigrated to the USA from Germany and I believe came into the USA thru Maryland. His son, Walter Kunkel, was one of the chief engineers brought to Panama to build the Panama Canal in 1907-1912. A brother stayed behind in Panama and became a Canal Conductor. Walter came back to Hyde Park (Readville), MA and took over his father's blacksmith shop. The new company was called "Frank Kunkel @ Son, Inc." and was a steel forging company that made parts for the submarines and tanks during WW II. His son and my father, Charles A. Kunkel of Readville, MA and Canton, MA (May 29, 1913 - Sept. 9, 1992) took it over and it was sold in 1972 to Raytheon. Anyone who has additonal information, Please contact me at [email protected] Peter Kunkel (Germany) (1800s) Frank Kunkel (Germany & USA) (1800s) Walter & Emma (Caney) Kunkel Charles & Hazel Kunkel (May 29, 1913 - Sept. 9, 1992) David Kunkel (June 5, 1952-present)

Seeking info on Betty Ungood who m ? Kunkle. They were from Parryville, Carbon Co, PA. Looking for info on Betty, husband and any descendants. Bob Troup [email protected]

This is my first time posting to the Kunkle news list. I hope that this message will clear up a misunderstanding about the genealogy and children of Baltzer Kunkle and Elizabeth Trimmer earlier posted in re: B. Kunkle, Blacksmith, part 2. of this letter. There were two Baltzer Kunkles married to Elizabeth's residing in York Co., Pa. Both Baltzer Kunkles were born abt 1774, one being my ancestor Baltzer Kunkle son of Gottlieb Kunkle and wife Agnes. This Baltzer Kunkle was baptised at Christ Lutheran Church, York, York Co. PA. His birth was recorded as 9 April 1774, baptismal 22 May 1774. The other Baltzer Kunkle was born around 1774, probably in York County, PA., and died 17 Sept 1849, not 1841, age 75 years, in Cumberland Co., PA. He was the son of John Kunkle not Jacob Kunkle, who died in 1790 in York Co., PA., and wife Catherine. Baltzer Kunkle married Elizabeth Trimmer, born around 1776, York Co., PA., died 1 January 1850, age 73 years in Cumberland County, PA. The will of Elizabeth's father, Andrew Trimmer appears in Will Book D, page 195, written 6 March 1826, Probated 1 Nov 1832, Adams County, PA. The will of Andrew Trimmer mentions his wife Susanna, land (house & Lot) in the Town of Berlin, Adams Co., PA., and the following children: Samuel, Elizabeth wife of Baltzer Kunkle, Catharine wife of Jacob Atland, Sally wife of John Ferree and Anna wife of Joseph Ferree. The Trimmer family were originally from Amwell Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The children of Baltzer Kunkle and Elizabeth Trimmer were: 1) Samuel Gunkle, born 7 Feb 1799, died 21 Dec 1874, York Co, PA., married Elizabeth Spangler, born Aug 1798 York Co., PA., died 9 May 1874, York Co., PA. 2) Catherine Kunkle, born 31 July 1801, York Co., PA., married Spangler. 3) Sarah Kunkle, born 30 Aug 1803, York Co., PA. 4) Elizabeth Kunkle, born 1 Dec 1805, York County, PA., married James McClure. 5) John Kunkle, born 2 Nov 1808, York Co., PA. 6) Nancy Kunkle, born 2 Dec 1815, York Co., PA. married Samuel Hoover. The source for the children and their birth dates comes from the Kunkle Bible records, deeds for Cumberland and York Co., PA., and the will of Baltzer Kunkle. For a more complete article on this family see my quarterly, "From York To Gettysburg," Volume 1, Number 3, 15 Aug 1996, which includes a copy of the bible records, and other documentation for this family. Peter Kunkle born 1799 (my ancestor) was not the son of Baltzer Kunkle who died in 1849 in Cumberland Co., PA. Peter Kunkle was the son of Baltzer Kunkle and wife Elizabeth (probably Meyers.) This Baltzer Kunkle was still living by the year 1850 and appears in the household of Peter Kunkle during the 1850 census of Warrington Township, York Co., PA. Peter Kunkle was the owner of Kunkle's Mill in York Co. I have been working for over 24 years to clear up all of the inaccurate information regarding the families of both Baltzer Kunkle's. I hope that this information well help someone who is currently working on the Baltzer Kunkle line.

Part 2 of 2: B. Kunkle, Blacksmith... Balker Kunkle Junior is listed in the 1820 census record of Pennsylvania in Antrim Township, Franklin County. I found no other information on this person. Balthasar Kunckel was born in 1759 in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. His marriage to Catherine Kobel on April 29, 1783 was recorded by the Christ Lutheran Church, Stouchsburg, Marion Township, Berks County. Baltzer Kunkle was born on March 21, 1774 in Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania and died on September 11, 1841. His father was Jacob and his mother was Catherine. He married Elizabeth Trimmer who was born on January 9, 1776 in Hunterdon, New Jersey. They had 4 children: John (1798), Samuel (1799), Peter (1799), and Sarah (1800). A man named Balsir Kungle appears in the 1790 census records of Pennsylvania. He is listed under Hellam Township, York County, Pennsylvania with four free white males under sixteen years and six free white females in his household. Baltzer Kunkle is listed in the 1810 Pennsylvania Census in Manchester, York County. A man named Boltzer Kunkle is listed that same year in Hellam Township, York County. Finally, two men named Baltzer Kunkle are listed in the 1820 Pennsylvania census, one in East Manchester Township, York County, the other in Dover Township, York County. Barnabas ("Barney") Kunkel was born on February 10, 1818 in York, Pennsylvania and died on May 26, 1889. He is buried in Oregon Cemetery, Holt, Missouri. His father was Henry, his mother was Elizabeth Anna Miller. He married Catherine Secrist. Bastian Kunkle of Westmoreland County, is listed in the 1800 Census Index of Pennsylvania. In the 1810 census, a man named Sebastian Kunkle is listed in North Huntingdon, Westmoreland County. If this is the same man, it is unlikely that the candle stand was made by him unless he called himself by the name Bastian. Benjamin Kunkel was born around 1805 in Pennsylvania. His father was Peter and his mother was Maria Magdalena Rausch. I found no other information on this person. Another Benjamin Kunkle was born on March 12, 1806 in Perry County, PA and died on March 1, 1900 in Bayard, Iowa. His name was given in some records as Benjamin Franklin Kunkle. His father was Jacob and his mother was Elisabeth Snyder. He married Barbara Edmonds on October 30, 1831 in Union, Pennsylvania. Another Benjamin Kunkel was born on August 12, 1801 in Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania and died on September 22, 1888 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father was Christian and his mother was Anna Maria Elizabeth Welsaur. (His mother's surname has also been spelled "Welshofer.") He married Magdalena Gross on September 17, 1827. According to records in the Joseph Downs Collection of Manuscripts and Printed Ephemera, Benjamin Kunkle is mentioned in the dyeing book of Solomon Strous and account book of Jacob Strous, Lebanon, Middleton, and Dauphin Counties, Pennsylvania 1802-1836. This may refer to the abovementioned Benjamin Kunkle born in Harrisburg. Much of these manuscripts is written in German, but the books may prove to yield useful information under further study. Also pertinent to the Benjamin Kunkle of Harrisburg is an ledger in the Downs Collection kept by George Kunkel, the oldest son of Anna Hoyer and Christian Kunkel. George may have been the brother of Benjamin. He was a merchant and recorded his financial transactions in this ledger from 1810 to 1816. At this point in my research it is impossible to tell if any of these people might have made the candlestand. A trip to the historical societies of various counties in Pennsylvania would undoubtedly yield more information including the occupations of some of these men. I will continue to check the Kunkle website for any information that might turn up in response to my query and will add any information I collect to the file to help narrow the search for B. Kunkle. I guess the footnotes don't cut and paste -- let me know if you need them. Melinda

An interesting article concerning the maker of a candlestand. Can anyone help? Date: Thu, 06 Aug 1998 08:56:32 -0400 From: Melinda Talbot <[email protected]> Reply-To: [email protected] Organization: University of Delaware X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01C-UDEL (Win95; I) To: Janet Reinhold <[email protected]> Subject: Re: B. Kunkle artifact Thanks for keeping in touch. I hadn't written because I was hoping that I would hear from others I had contacted, but no luck so far. I did not find as much as I had hoped, but here is what I submitted to the curator: The maker of an iron candlestand (64.1534) marked his work "B. KUNKLE." The name probably meant something to neighbors and patrons when the object was made between 1750 and 1825. Today, the identity of the maker is a mystery. Many men named B. Kunkle, or variations of that name, appear in records from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, however I came across no evidence that any were working as blacksmiths during that period. I found no references to any Kunkles in the books about iron I perused in the Winterthur library, so I turned to genealogy. I began my search by exploring the resources available on the World Wide Web. These databases yielded little information on my subject, but I am glad to have become familiar with them and what they offer. Some of them, including GenServ (www.genserv.com), a genealogical server system, and www.ancestry.com require membership fees, but probably have larger and more useful databases than other searchable databases that are free. GenServ allowed me a one-time free search that was forwarded to my Email address. Sites that were most useful for genealogical searches included WWW Genealogical Index (www.gendex.com/gendex/), which indexes hundreds of WWW databases containing genealogical data for over two million individuals; Roots Surname List (www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/ searches), which contains 189,507 surnames; and USGenWeb Project (www.usgenweb.com/) which is organized by county. There is a website (www.flash.net/~conkle/INDEX.htm) maintained by Janet Reinhold that is dedicated to helping genealogists who are researching their Kunkle (and variations of the name) ancestors. I contacted Reinhold, and she has volunteered to post my query on a listserv that sends messages to Kunkle descendants. In addition, she is interested in featuring the object in "The Spindle," a family genealogical publication. World Wide Web searches led me to thirteen people who had posted their Email addresses on the Internet and invited queries. I received eight responses. None knew of a B. Kunkle who worked with iron. One woman, Elizabeth Brake, wrote that she is related to Kunkles who were glassmakers who came from Florsbach, Germany in the mid-eighteenth century and settled in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. John Decker suggested that I contact the "family historian" James E. Kunkle of Edgewater, Colorado. I wrote to him on April 27, 1998. If I receive any information from him, I will add it to the object file. By far the most helpful source I used was the Family History Center in Wilmington, Delaware. Two databases available only through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are the Ancestral File and International Genealogical Index. These contain a vast amount of information culled from a wide variety of sources. No doubt a visit the main Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah would yield an even greater amount of useful information. Rosetta Maxine Bennett, Irene Kunkle Hannum, James Erwin Kunkle, Manly Mallett, and Sara Kunkle Shoop have all written histories of the Kunkle family. These are available through the library in Salt Lake City. All of the B. Kunkles I found who lived during the period were from Pennsylvania. There is even a Kunkletown, Pennsylvania north of Allentown. None of the people I found were from that location. It would not be surprising, however, if the candlestand were from Pennsylvania because H. F. duPont acquired many objects in that region. What follows is a list of possible identities of the candlestand's maker. [to be continued]

Are any of you Kunkleman's searching Carter and Butler Co., Missouri? I have info on Ida Hunter Kunleman's father...James Hunter. [Ida Hunter married Zeno Kunkleman] We have a letter stating James real mother was Louisa Elleanor Hunter and not Caroline Hunter Bradshaw. Also the letter states James had a half brother, Samuel Barton Meek. Louisa Elleanor Hunter married Richard Meek in Vandalia Illinois in 1868. James had been given to Hunter family members to raise.

I just joined the list. Do any of you have info on Zeno Kunkleman b Oct 15, 1892 d 1970..who married Ida Hunter in Carter Co., Mo? Would love to hear from you. Thanks Reba
