They had children Jacob, Elizabeth, Katharine, George, Clara, HENRY, Soloman and Joseph Carringer. Cornelius FEATHER was born ca 1777 in NJ (?), and died 1852 in Mercer Co PA. He married Sarah ____.

Their children were Harvey Edgar, Henry Austin and Effie E. Carringer. I have a fairly extensive database for the CARRINGER line if other researchers are interested in the family. I am in the process of adding the 1900-1930 census data to this database. If anyone has info on the origins of Cornelius Feather, or his wife's surname, I would appreciate knowing it.

Hi Randy, I am curious. Was this John Daniel SPANGLER descended from Johann Balthasar SPANGLER and Magdalena RITTER who apparently came to York Co., Pa in the mid 1830's? If so, we are very distant cousins. My SPANGLERs ended up in Armstrong Co., Pa. Jim Wise

Hi cousin Jim, Yep - one and the same. I think there were so many Spanglers after several generations that they had to move west (and north) to find land and make a living. My Spangler line from the immigrant is: 1) Johann Baltzer Spangler (1706-1765) m. 1732 Magdalena Ritter. 2) Rudolf Spangler (1738-1811) m. 1767 Dorothea Dinkel (1748-1835) 3) John Daniel Spangler (1781-1851) m. 1815 Elizabeth King (1796-1863). There is a Spangler web site that is pretty good, at http://www.spanglers.info/ Unfortunately, it looks like Fillmore Spangler Jr passed away in 2004, but his son has improved the web site tremendously.
