PLEASE ONLY EMAIL AT MY johnbair@optonline.net ADDRESS..I (john bair) RARELY READ THE POSTED MESSAGES. PLEASE BE KIND ENOUGH TO REPLY TO johnbair@optonline.net. My Nancy Ann Shimp married my John Bair in PA. I'm confident via bible record that Nancy Ann Shimps mom was Mary Ann Schimp who later married a Mundorff. But her first husband was a John Schimp. Please my kind experts...is this John Schimp a great grand child of Johann Jacob Schimpf who married Christina Mayer? If it is or isn't would you PLEASE tell me my lineage? Also, the DAR list 4 of Johann Jacob Schimps sons as DAR patriots(I requested a patriot look-up at www.dar.org) There is a Jacob Schimp who is a private during the Amer Revolution who matches closely to Johann Jacob Schimpf. ARE THEY THE SAME JACOB SCHIMPF? Also, in Charles James Shimps books he says Johann Jacob Schimpf fought in the militia under Capt. Boggs.. Most importantly though would you be nice enough to tell me my lineage from Nancy Ann Schimp/John Schimp and beyond? THANK YOU! Sincerely, JOHN D. BAIR
