Bob, I have a fair amount of Stemen data, much of it given to me by other researchers. While it is helpful to view -- a lot of it is not proven or very well documented. That goes for the little info I have on the Shellenberger surname. This data obviously is very early and won't immediately be related to Allen Cty - but maybe there will be something here that is helpful. It is all that I found in my data. Good luck!

Hi Dave, Thanks for your interest. I appreciate that. George Moyer was first in Licking County about 1804 and then Fairfield in Rush Creek Twp about 1820. He then moved to Shelby County while Margaret and a few of his other children went to Allen Co. I know that Margaret's brother Samuel, from which I am descended, was an early member at the Stemen church (Salem) in Allen County. You know, I thought he may have come from Rockingham but I can find no evidence of him there even though his family was closely associated with the Beerys of Fairfield Co. There are a few Moyer's in Rockingham at that time but none match up with the dates of George, his wife and family.
