2. Family InteractionSome connections could be coincidence if taken alone, but not taken as a group: David (line 14) and Samuel (line 15) neighbors in 1830 census for Sandy Township, Stark Co., Ohio with Emanuel (line 18) close by. (Elder female living with Emanuel is probably mother Anna since she appears in tax list for that year.) Solomon married in Osnaburg Township, Stark Co., Ohio in 1817; resident there in 1820 census and 1826 tax list. Samuel purchased and sold land there in 1858 and is there in 1860 census. Samuel's sons William and Jacob and Solomon's sons Jeremiah and Joseph all ended up living in Richland County, Illinois. Samuel and Anna Jr (husband Adam Hardesty) were neighbors in Brown Tp., Carroll Co., Ohio (formerly part of Sandy Tp., Stark Co.,) in 1840 census. Anna (as Anne) living with Emanuel in Richland County, Ohio in 1850 census. In Vernon Township/Sharon Township Richland County/Crawford County, Ohio; Emanuel and Michael are together in 1838 tax list. Emanuel land purchases there 1832, 1844, 1857, 1857. In 1832 he bought three quarters of a quarter-section of land and sold one of the quarters to Michael. Christopher bought the fourth quarter in 1839. Emanuel and Michael are neighbors in 1850 census. Solomon's widow lived in neighboring Cranberry Tp. and their uncle Michael Jr lived in neighboring Sandusky Township. In Washington Township, Hancock County, Ohio: Christopher owned land there 1847-1854. Michael moved there in the 1850s and Emanuel in 1860s. Michael purchased land in Paulding County, Ohio in 1844 (Paulding Township) and Emanuel in 1847 (Harrison Township). Michael sold his land in 1852 to Anna Jr (as wife of Adam Hardesty). |
3. References to ParentsDavid is native of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Per "Old Landmarks of Stark County, Ohio," 1904 Danner. (David born about 1793) Christopher was born to Joseph and Nancy Kimmel of Pennsylvania according to his death record (Christopher born 1806) "Mother" is Anna. Conjectured per 1850 federal census for Richland County, Ohio, residing with Emanuel. Elida Kimmel Howenstine, daughter of Michael, compiled family information for the Howenstine family of Indiana/Ohio. Family members in reunions recall that her grandparents were Joseph Kimmel and Nancy Stoner, although her descendants do not have her documentation. So the father of the siblings above should have a wife Nancy (and/or Anna) and should be living in Westmoreland County at the time of David's birth (1790s). |
4. Potential Father - in Westmoreland County in 1790s With Wife/Wives Nancy or AnnaKimmel men in Westmoreland County in 1800: > Jacob of Hempfield Township, living there by 1772-died 1800, wife Margaretha, children already accounted for. > Andrew, son of Jacob, of Hempfield Township-wife Elizabeth, children already accounted for. > Michael Jr, son of Michael Sr, land next to brother Joseph Sr in Hempfield Township 1818 purchased by father in 1811. Also land in 1816 from father. Member of church in Mount Pleasant Township in 1826. Wife Susanna; children already accounted for. > Joseph Sr, son of Michael Sr, of S. Huntingdon Township (1800); land in E. Huntingdon Township 1801-1810; then land purchase of 1810 in Hempfield Township. Wife given as Nancy in 1815 land sale and Anna in 1820 land sale to son Joseph Jr. It hasn't been determined if Nancy is a first wife and Anna the second, or if Nancy and Anna are the same person. > George, brother of Michael Sr, purchased land in Donegal Township in 1805 and sold it in 1813, but remained a resident of Somerset County. Wife Juliana; children accounted for. Joseph Sr is the only Kimmel to fit the facts given. |
5. Unusual Names in Common

6. Follow-upTwo documents mention a child of Joseph Sr and Nancy. One is a land sale to son Joseph Jr. The other it the death record for Christopher. Joseph Sr's wife is given as Nancy in 1815 (land sale) , Anna in 1820 (land sale), Anna in 1830 (tax list) and Anne in 1850 (census). Nancy and Anna could be the same person, or two separate wives of Joseph Sr. Per Ron McPherson, it is in Howenstein family records that Joseph Sr's wife was Nancy Stoner, but it was common knowledge and not from a document. Two sons of Anthony Kimmel of Perry County, Pennsylvania named Samuel and Solomon were on the 1813 tax list for Perry (then Cumberland) County, but not in the 1817 tax list, with no known record since 1813. A brother John (Berlin Township) and sister Margaret (Canfield Township) lived in Mahoning County, Ohio. No known ties have been found between Samuel and Solomon and this family in Perry County, Pennsylvania and Mahoning County, Ohio, but I'd like to find out what happened to Anthony's sons just to rule them out absolutely as Samuel and Solomon of Stark County, Ohio. |
