Hello, Bill in Oregon, Regarding Entsinger ... Under the name Ensminger (and Entsinger is a known variation, although there seems to have be a separate family named Entsinger), I find both a Susanna Ensminger, born about 1762 and married to "unknown Miller", and a sister Catherine, born about 1768, who married one Henry Platt, 1791, Rockbridge County, VA. They are daughters of Hans Philip Ensminger and Catherine Margaret Kessinger; Phillip Ensminger died in Monroe County, WV, 1807. Looks close enough to be a possible match. I can't help with the Miller problem at this point, my Millers being of NJ vintage in the late 1700's. But if you are searching Entsinger/Ensminger, I may be able to help.

Bill, Have you ever seen the history of The Ensmingers or Alsace and Pennylvania by Raymond Bell? I found the book in the Rockbridge County Library and I found it to be interesting. I am trying to establish if I am a descendent of Henry Plott (Platt) and Catherine Entsminger or Henry Plott and Phoebe Miller (Susannah's daughter). Please let me know if you are interested in any of my information.
