Good Evening Vashenan Listmates, Further research has yield the 1830 census for Emanuel Brubaker and wife Elizabeth Rodeffer and their children in Shenandoah County and a few more details which may be of interest to those who are Hottel descendants. It is interesting how family stories are spun. In the John Hottell book on Page 378 is the following: "2194-c EMANUEL BRUBAKER, son of Abraham and Anna (Hottel) Brubaker, b. at Saumsville, Va., about 1786; m. Elizabeth Rodeffer, dau. of Samuel, from whom she received a legacy in 1833. Emanuel received 34 acres by his father by will being a part of a tract of 201 acres, which was formerly a grant to his grandfather, Charles Hottel, by Lord Thomas Fairfax, 8 June 1751. He was executor of his father's will. He resided in Saumsville, and was a chair maker by trade. On 13 March 1833, he and his wife sold to Daniel Saum what seems to have been their homeplace. They were buried on the farm of James H. Spiker. Their graves are marked with rocks bearing no inscriptions. There were no descendants. The name "Emanuel" has been handed down several generations in other families in honor of this man." We refute some of this information as we know for a fact that after Emanuel and Elizabeth (Rodeffer) Brubaker sold their homestead in 1833, they removed to Columbiana County, Ohio with their four children. I believe that they are probably buried in the old Reformed Cemetery in Columbiana County along with a lot of the other Valley people who left Virginia at the same time. ------------------- Here is the 1830 census record for Daniel Emanuel Brubaker which we believe proves that he and wife Elizabeth were living in Shenandoah County and that they did have children. I have not been able to find a marriage record for Daniel Emanuel Brubaker and wife Elizabeth Rodeffer as yet, but believe they probably married around 1808-09 era as I think their daughter Adaline was the oldest child. The minister might not have returned the records. CHILDREN OF DANIEL EMANUEL BRUBAKER AND ELIZABETH RODEFFER 1. Adaline Brubaker who married 27 September 1827 to William Abraham Bushong 2. Samuel Brubaker who married Lydia (Maiden name unknown) 3. Unidentified Female Brubaker 4. William Brubaker who seems to have married twice: M/1: Sarah, M/2: Mary ------------------- Adaline Brubaker and William Abraham Bushong were married in Shenandoah County 27 September 1827 so that is why she is not in the 1830 census with her parents. -------------------- 1830 Federal Census: Virginia Western District, Shenandoah County Page 50 MANUEL BRUBAKER {Daniel Emanuel Brubaker} 1 male under 5 years of age {Son William Brubaker} 1 male 15 and under 20 years of age {Son Samuel Brubaker} 1 male 40 and under 50 years of age {Head of household Daniel Emanuel Brubaker} 1 female 15 and under 20 years of age {Unidentified daughter} 1 female 40 and under 50 years of age {Wife Elizabeth} 1 female 70 and under 80 years of age {Mother of either Daniel Emanuel or Elizabeth} -------------------------- According to the Shenandoah County Deed records, Emanuel Brubaker and wife Elizabeth executed a Deed for their land in Shenandoah County 13 March 1833 to their brother-in-law Daniel Saum. We believe this is when they removed from Shenandoah County, Virginia with their children and went to Columbiana County, Ohio. If they are buried on their former property in Shenandoah County as the book states, then their bodies were brought back from Ohio for burial but why on the Spiker property? Makes no sense whatsoever. According to the Hottel book Emanuel Brubaker was born about 1786 which is the exact age of Daniel Emanuel Brubaker of the census records below and the name of his wife is Elizabeth. ----------------------------- 1840 Federal Census: Ohio Columbiana County EMANUEL BRUBAKER {Daniel Emanuel Brubaker} 1 male 10 thru 14 years of age {Son William Brubaker} 1 male 50 thru 59 years of age {Head of household Daniel Brubaker of the 1850 census} 1 female 50 thru 59 years of age {Wife Elizabeth Brubaker} 1 engaged in manufacturing and trade Same land SAMUEL BRUBAKER 1 Male 20 thru 29 years of age {Son Samuel Brubaker} 2 female 20 thru 29 years of age 1 engaged in manufacturing and trade --------------- 1850 Federal Census: Ohio Fairfield Township, Columbiana County Enumerated 7 October 1850 Page 83A & 83B Lines 42 & 1-8, HH 418/424 & 419/425 Daniel Brubaker 64/Male/Chairmaker/$300/VA {Father of Adaline Brubaker Bushong} Elizabeth Brubaker 64/Female/VA {Mother of Adaline Bushong} William Brubaker 23/Male/Shoemaker/VA {William of the Deed} Sara Brubaker 27/Female/PA {Probably William's 1st wife probably died before Deed was executed} Lemuel Brubaker 27/Male/Chairmaker/$800/VA {Samuel of the Deed} Lydia Brubaker 32/Female/PA {Samuel's wife and Lydia of the Deed} Susanah Brubaker 7/Female/AttendedSchool/OH Emanuel Brubaker 6/Male/AttendedSchool/OH Lorenzo Brubaker 2/Male/OH ----------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Bushong
