Anyone researching the family of Jacob B. Knisley, b. 1839? His wife was Mary J. Fronk, daughter of Henry and Barbara (Garman) Fronk. Marcia Fronk

Hello Marcia, Are you aware that there is a Knisley Genforum, Website URL is http://genforum.genealogy.com/knisely/ . I don't know if it will help at all because the time frame is later than your information, but there might be a tie-in to a Pastor Knisely who served at the Port Royal Lutheran Church in the late 19th C. or early 20th C. His name was John B. Knisley. He might have been a descendant of your Jacob Knisley. His descendants are now in the Glendale CA area and I believe they have done some work on their family's history. I can remember that one of the younger pastors is named Carl Knisley. Sometime after Pastor John B. Knisley moved from Port Royal he came to Northumberland Co. and served the Point Twp. church where I was a member. He had three sons, at least two of whom became Lutheran pastors. If you want to pursue this possible lead, a Website for archived church records of Lutherans is at http://www.elca.org/archives/index.html . Click on "Genealogy" in the gray line near the top of the page. Hope you find the Knisleys in their archives. Nelson R.
