I will need to look in my material, I do believe my ancestor George Stettler served in the same Berks Co Militia........in Rev war...........Caspar may have been the militia leader? ----- Original Message ----- From: Sandra Jones Hall To: STATLER-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 12:52 PM Subject: Re: [STATLER] Emmanuel Statler-Casper-Christopher I found Salisbury, Somerset County, PA on Map Quest south to the city of Somerset almost at the border with Maryland. Casper's family lived in the North East of Somerset County. In what is now Shade Township. They did spread out from there. There are several Emanuel Statlers or Stotlers early. Emanuel son of Casper. Shade Twp 1850 and 1860 census Emanuel son of Jacob and Nancy Sites Allegheny County 1850 Emanuel possibly brother of Casper and/or Jacob died about 1796 Franklin County PA. Found him: 1870 Census, Salisbury Statler, Emanuel 21 Shoemaker ", Susan 24 1880 Census, Salisbury Statler, Emanuel 31 Susan 35 Morris 9 Eugene 7 Clarence 2/12 I believe this Emanuel is not a decendent of Casper but of Samuel died Franklin County 1804. As for which families (Stephen's to Casper's etc.) connect, twenty years of research has not given me any connections, that is the main reason I am doing this DNA project.
