I have just proven her parents to be Frederick and Margaret Daubenmire Defenbaugh. Margaret is the first cousin of Rose Ann's husband George.
Now, I have no information on her father Frederick other than their marriage record. They were married on the 2 March 1849 in Hocking County, Ohio. Margaret then married Daniel Amspaugh 27 Jan 1856 in Hocking County, Ohio before moving on to Darke County, Ohio.
If you have any information on Federick I'd love to hear from you.

Re: Defenbaughs in Indiana

reelsman — 2009-11-10 14:07:44Z

I believe George R. Defenbaugh married after the death of Magdalena "Lena" Frances Niebergall. He married Bertha Marlock on 23 Apr 1910 in Tippecanoe Co., Indiana.

Re: Defenbaughs in Indiana

reelsman — 2009-11-10 14:07:31Z

George R. Defenbaugh, son of William Defenbaugh and Elizabeth Hurdle, was born 6 Sep 1860 in Indiana. He married Magdalena "Lena" Frances Niebergall, daughter of Thielemann Niebergall and Margaret Gretchen Brichler (variants Brickler and Brigler), on 15 Nov 1896 in Lafayette, Tippecanoe, Indiana. Of this marriage, one daughter was born, Marguerite Elizabeth Defenbaugh, born 6 Sep 1897 of West Lafayette, Tippecanoe, Indiana, died 23 Oct 1986 in Los Angeles Co., California. Magdalena died 30 Nov 1908 in West Lafayette, Tippecanoe, Indiana.

Marguerite married Donald George Bryan Sr. I know there were multiple children of this marriage; I am aware of Donald George Bryan Jr., born 27 Jul 1917 in Indiana, died 27 May 1993 in San Bernardino Co., California.

Defenbaugh (Devenbaugh) - Braden, DeWitt Cty. Ill.

vjohnson528 — 2009-11-10 14:03:12Z

Oh boy, I cannot believe how many ways there are to spell this name. It's sooo confusing.. But I'm havin a lot of fun trying to figure it all out.

I'm looking for JOHN DEFENBAUGH of Ashland County, Ohio who married RUTH BRADEN in 1850 (he changed his name to DEVENBAUGH.) I have also found John's name spelled Deavenbaugh and Deffenbaugh.

They had 11 little Devenbaughs, 6 born in Ohio and 5 born in Illinois where they relocated in 1856. Children were Lozene (Ben), John, James, Rossie, Samuel, Ephraim, Belle, Rebecca, David, Daniel and Walter.

John died January 31, 1896 and Ruth died August 27, 1900, both in Creek Township, DeWitt County, Illinois and are both buried in Rose Cemetery there.

Lozene (Benjamin) is my great grandfather.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Streator Museum

2009-11-10 14:02:24Z

I posted to this board a week or so ago, but it did not go through. This is a second attempt.

There is a museum in Streator that has cemetery records, Streator and Woodland High School yearbooks, and Streator Directories. They also have many LaSalle County and Livingston County history books.

My Armstrong family is linked to the Defenbaugh's through marriage beginning with Nancy Ann Armstrong who married Daniel K. Defenbaugh in the 1800s. She was the daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Patten) of Ohio. Her brothers, George and Thomas, are both buried with their wives, in the Moon Point Cemetery just outside Streator. My line descends from George. My grandparents, parents, a baby cousin, aunt and two uncles are also buried in Moon Point. There are many Defenbaugh's there, too. My aunt, who is almost 80 now, lives in Rutland, and remembers a lot of the history of Streator and the Armstrong/Defenbaugh connection. She was born and raised along with my dad and aunt on the family farm just outside Streator, near Ancona, IL. My family owned that farm since 1852, selling it in January 2001. My dad amd his sibs were born on that farm. II have many pleasant memories of visiting on vacations and "playing" farmer.

The Streator museum, located at:

306 S. Vermillion St.
Streator, IL 61364
(815) 672-2443

is open Mon - Fri 9:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. Sundays 1p.m. - 4:00 p.m. It is lcoated in someone's private home. Admission is FREE

Re: Nancy Ann Armstrong and Daniel Defenbaugh

PCottrel — 2006-07-30 18:13:10Z

Nancy and Daniel K. Defenbaugh stayed in Ohio even though many family members moved to Illiniois around 1851. Their sons James and Martin, and his brother Joseph, and some of the daughters stayed near Laurelville. They are buried in Stumpf Cemetery just north of Adelphi/Laurelville in Pickaway County.
I know that at least one of her letters remains in the Defenbaugh museum near Streator. In it she commented that she was a better farmer than her husband. Because he was gone so much repairing mills, she had to do the farming herself.

Defenbaugh, Mason, Fayette Co., PA, ca 1800

jim5570 — 2004-09-21 16:24:54Z

The following probate was just shared on the Fayette Co., PA List (question follows after):

************************
> Diffenbaugh, Conrad, German Twp. dated 1-3-1812
> p. 522 prob. 2-1-1812
> wife Magdalen
> sons George, Conrad, Jacob, Daniel, Solomon, Anthony
> granddaughter Catherine Deffenbaugh, dau. of Conrad
> daughters Barbery, Magdalen, Catherine
> executors sons Jacob and Daniel -
> witnesses George Riffel, Peter Ellenberger, Anthony Difenbaugh
************************

When Philip Mason, of German Township, Fayette County, PA, wrote his will in 1791, he mentioned his three sons, John, Martin and George, and his daughter, listed as "Mary Mason". We know what happened to the three sons, but have never found any additional information about his daughter, Mary Mason. However, one of Philip Mason's neighbors was Conrad Diffenbaugh and we have wondered if Mary might have married one of his sons. Do any Diffenbaugh (of various spellings) genealogists know if any of Conrad's sons (as listed in his will, George, Conrad, Jacob, Daniel, Solomon, or Anthony) married a Mary Mason?

Re: Streator Museum

2002-07-05 22:23:10Z

Thanks for the info. I have some very old photo's that my mom had and I believe some of them also have Armstrongs in them. I think I saw that you live in Baltimore. I travel to DC 5 times a year as I am involved with the Children of the American Revolution. Maybe on one of those trips I can bring my photo's and we could meet somewhere and see how we might actually be related. I know it can't be a direct line on the Defenbaugh side, however I am also related to Armstrongs on the other side of my moms family the Sornbergers. Maybe there is a connection there also. It was nice to hear from you and I will let you know how my trip goes after my return.

Re: Streator Museum

2002-07-05 20:43:21Z

Hi Billie. Hope you have a great time in Streator. There are many Defenbaughs in the Moon Point Cemetery just outside Streator on a small unpaved road just over the RR tracks. My family is buried there, too. Anyone can direct you.

I am also related to the Defenbaughs. Defenbaughs and Armstrongs have a long history together. I have old photos of some of the Defenbaughs together with my grandparents on the Armstrong farm sometime around 1910-1915(?). The farm is just across from the Ancona Road, off Rte 23. All that's left is a small white house and an old cattle barn with attached shed.

Let me know how the trip turns out for you.

Defenbaughs and cemeteries in Streator

2002-05-23 12:37:45Z

There are many Defenbaughs buried in Moon Point Cemetery in Streator. Streator also has a historical society, that will have information on the family. I did not realize that there was a separate cemetery for the Defenbaughs. However, my 80-year-old aunt, who now lives in Rutland, but was born and raised on the family farm in Streator, was aware of it. Moon Point has a website, although I cannot locate the URL (still looking). The Defenbaughs have been connected to the Armstrongs through marriage since Nancy Ann married Daniel K Defenbaugh in the 1800s. If you are heading to Streator and think that you might like to talk with my aunt, let me know. I can always contact her and see if she is willing. She has a great memory and has helped me in filling in the pieces to my research on the Armstrong side.

FYI - My parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles, and baby cousin are all buried in Moon Point (Armstrongs, Covills, and Robert McPherson). If you go there, my parents graves are the first ones on the right inside the gate - Lt. Col George E. Armstrong. His ancestors, George and Thomas Armstrong, both brothers of Nancy Ann Armstrong Defenbaugh, are also buried there with their wives.

I last visited Moon Point in Nov. 2000 just before we sold the family farm. We tried to get to the historical society, but they were closed. Have to check the limited hours they are open, as it is housed in someone's private home.

Please keep me posted on any information you find. Thank you.

My father Paul Bradley and my uncle were raised in Streator. Several years ago, I attempted to research the Bradley line but could never get back further that Johnson Bradley. I couldn't find anything definite but suspected that Susan's father was named Abraham. I would also be interested in any information on Abel or Susan or their ancestors.

I am researching the Defenbaughs through the Bradley line. Susan Defenbaugh married Abel Johnson Bradley(went by the name of Johnson) around 1850 or so. Her father was supposed to have operated a mill around Ancona. Johnson was a charter member of the Long Point Masonic Lodge. My info says Susan was born in 1831 and died in 1912. I have what I believe to be a picture of her Headstone,in the Defenbaugh Cemetery in Reading, but it doesn't have any dates on it. That is all I have and I would be interested in finding out more on the Defenbaugh connection.
