I need someone who is going to the ACHS to do a quick look-up for me. I am looking for the burial location and birth date for a George Sponseller who died, testate, 8 November 1828, probably in or near Littlestown. Different records have different George Sponsellers died on this date. Birth date will help determine the correct George. Thanks, Vanessa [email protected] My genealogy page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~vstern/

Hi Vanessa and fellow listers: In a book entitled "Abstracts of Adams Co., PA Wills (1826-1850) by Randy J. Miller" - which can be purchased at the Adams Co.

Valentine GRISE), Catharine (md. Philip BAUM), Rachel (md.

Donna, I also have that book. The problem is that I think Mr. Schildknect confused two different George Sponsellers (who happened to be 1st cousins) in his book "Monocacy and Catoctin". If I can find the birth date of the George who died in 1828, that will clear it up. Thanks.
