I did not know who his wife was.>> In the Tacy book it lists Samuel as having been born in 1705 in Westphalia, Germany. It would also be hard for Samuel to be born in 1746, when we have record of a grandson, Valentine Stalnaker, chr. 13 Feb 1757 in York County, PA son of Jacob and Maria Elizabeth Truby Stalnaker. This christening record may be found in the Pastorial Record of Jacob Lischy. Samuel's wife is listed in the Tacy book as Sarah Williams. Many of the Frederick County, Maryland families passed through and lived in what is now Adams and York Counties, Pennsylvania before coming to Maryland. Many of these Frederick County families then proceded west into what is now West Virginia. Some went on to Kentucky and other points west and south. On the route to West Virginia which took them some through Fort Bedford, PA you can still find remenants of these families today. Thanks! Don
