"Hanover Cemetery Inscriptions" published by The Johnstown Historical Society: Mary Stateler, wife of John, died November 6, 1850, age 85 years, 10 months, 6 days. John Stateler, died February 22, 1840, age 66. I wish to thank Irene Baker for the above information. Since Michael, George and Stephen are very unusual names for Statlers I think that Michael and John of Hanover Township, Licking County, Ohio are the sons of Stephen Stradler of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. The John Statler/Stateler who stayed in Monongalia County, (West) Virginia was probably the son of Jacob. All these men are most likely related some way. The following information on Michael Stateler comes from Victor Stateler and Betty Turner. Michael was born 1757 or 1762 and died 15 April 1842 in Summerford, Madison County, Ohio. Tradition says he was born in Germany, but he was more likely born in America of German parents. Tradition also has him serving in the military in Germany, but perhaps this was his father. His first wife (name unknown) died leaving him with two sons George Stateler assumed birth between 1780 and 1803 Joseph Stateler " " " " " Michael's second wife was Mary (Polly) Bold whom he married 15 December 1803. She was born approximately 6 April 1785 in Maryland or Virginia. and died 11 January 1874 in Summerford.

Salathial Bold Stateler was born 28 Sept. 1823 and married first Mary Jane Downey and second Marinza Elston. Chester Stateler born 1828 and died 10 Dec. 1833 It is probable that all of Michael and Mary Bold Stateler's children were born in Ohio since Michael was in Licking County in 1806 (tax records).
