Jacob in Codorus, Jno in Paradise, Peter in W. Manchester and Peter in Dover. According to the Adams County newspaper Republican Compiler When John and Elizabeth were married by Rev. Mr. Ruthrauff she was from Straban Township. The only Menges in Straban in 1836 is Jacob Menges.I believe he is the Jacob that died 8 Feb 1837 in Menallen Twp probably in the home of one of his sons. This Jacob was 59 when he died making him born ca 1778 or about 20 when he married if He is Elizabeth's father. Peter of West Manchester also seems to have adults of Jacob and Elizabeth's age in his home in the 1800 census if... Fyi Leimbach is Leinbach, Linebach and Linebaugh at various times in York.FYI Ancestry.com has a family tree that says Elizabeth is the daughter of Jacob and Christina.
