[Engle, Robert, Ticona/DE] I would like to add to the momentum of the ENGLE-discussion too. I'm researching my ENGLE family at the earliest point known so far - David Engle born in Lancaster, Fairfield county, Ohio in 1832.(Aug 11) - He married Anna Guernsey, b1836 in NY, m1856abt > Father - maybe William Engle - I believe a cooper, or barrelmaker > Brother - Eden > Sisters - Harriet & Henrietta > > Sons - Wilber Dwight (WD), b1870 and Ralph, b1879 > > Daughters - Eva, b1866 and Idella(Ida), b1867 > > >WD's son was Earl A. Engle. WD moved his family to Colorado. It is possible David's family came into Lancaster from Pennsylvania, probably the Lancaster area there too, but I'm not certain. This was on Zane's Trace, the settler route into Ohio from Pennsylvania, and it makes sense as many German speaking settlers passed through that route. There is also strong ENGLE link to the River Bretheren, a religious immigrant group from the Palatinate in Germany, and from Switzerland, (also now associated with the Methodist church) which settled in the Lancaster, Pa area. So I'm presuming there is a link to these Engle's who came in from Pennsylvania, but I haven't found it yet. David Engle was a Methodist minister on an itinerant route in Ohio and later in Michigan. If any of you can trace back beyond the early 1800s to the major ENGLE branches, I'd be interested. Thanks Engle@Ticona.de (Frankfurt, Germany)
