THE STOEHR-STAIR FAMILY HOME PAGE
Researching the genealogy of the Stoehr, Stair family and associated families of France, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin, and beyond. It covers seven generations of the Stoehr-Stair family, beginning with Peter Stoehr, the grandfather of our immigrant ancestor, Johannes Stoehr, and his wife, Anna Margaretha Dock. Johannes and Anna Margaretha Stoehr emigrated from France aboard the ship "St. Andrew Galley," arriving at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 26 September 1737. It should also be mentioned that only those individuals having the Stoehr-Stair surname are covered in each generation. I would like to correspond with anyone working on, or connected to, this family.

STOEHR / STAIR FAMILY
OF
GERMANY, FRANCE, AND THE UNITED STATES
INTRODUCTION
Over the years, a considerable amount of genealogical research has been undertaken in an attempt to uncover the parentage of our immigrant ancestor, Johannes Stoehr, who is known to have been residing in the vicinity of Langensoultzbach in Bas-Rhin, France during the early 1700's. The Department of Bas Rhin is situated within the District of Alsace-Lorraine, France, and shares a common border with Germany. As a result of periodic conflict between France and Germany, much of the area that is now within Bas Rhin was governed at times by Germany, and at other times by France. However, because the Stoehr surname appears to be of German origin, and because no additional documents have been found in France to suggest that our Stoehr family had been residing there for a lengthy period of time, it was believed that our Johannes Stoehr, and possibly other family members, may have moved from Germany into the Langensoultzbach area during the latter part of the 1600's and early part of the 1700's.
In an attempt to substantiate this hypothesis, initial research in Germany paid special attention to the France-Germany border area, and in particular the German state of Rhineland-Pfalz (also referred to as the Palatinate). Almost immediately I came across a Stoehr family that was residing in the village of Rumbach in Rhineland-Pfalz, which appeared to be an excellent candidate to be the family of our Johannes Stoehr. The village of Rumbach is situated in the southern part of Rhineland-Pfalz in the vicinity of Landau, and is not far from Germany’s border with France. Langensoultzbach, on the other hand, is situated in the northern part of Bas-Rhin near the German border, and is not too far south of Rumbach.
Aside from our immigrant ancestor, Johannes Stoehr, there were also a Nicholas Stoehr and wife, Johanna Elizabetha Weinmueller (also written Mueller), residing at Langensoultzbach. During the period 1725-1736, this couple was listed in the parish baptismal records as being the parents of several children who were christened there. This Nicholas Stoehr is believed to be the Johannes Nicholas Stoehr who was christened at Rumbach in Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany on 6 December 1693. He had an older brother named Johannes who was born at Rumbach on 16 September 1687. In addition, the Langensoultzbach baptismal records also revealed the christenings of a Hans George Steer [sic] who was christened on 31 January 1694, and a Johann Peter Stohr [sic] who was christened on 3 November 1696, both listed as being sons of Hans Jacob and his wife, Elizabetha. This Hans Jacob is believed to be the Hans Jacob Stoehr who married Anna Elizabetha Minicus at Rumbach, Germany in about 1689/90. Hans Jacob Stoehr was the Uncle of the Johannes Stoehr who was born at Rumbach in 1687.
Although additional research of German records was carried out, no other Stoehr family even came close to matching the potential of being the family of our Johannes Stoehr, as did the Stoehr family found at Rumbach. Nor could I find any other Stoehr families in Germany, other than those found at Rumbach, where a connection to the village of Langensoultzbach could be substantiated. Even though it has not been possible to verify beyond "all" doubt that our Johannes Stoehr is descended from the Stoehr family that was associated with the Village of Rumbach, I feel so strongly that this is the case that I have decided to include the Rumbach information in the following genealogical write-up as being "our" Stoehr family.
It should also be pointed out that information pertaining to some of the descendants of Hans Peter Stoehr and Anna Barbara Stoehr, who remained in the Rumbach area of Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany, was abstracted from the Kindelberger-Rumbach web page by Andrea Kindelberger. Unfortunately, I could not re-verify much of this information because I did not have access to the necessary records.

14. Johannes Stoehr.
Johannes Stoehr, the son of Johannes Stoehr and Catharina Margaretha Elizabetha Dithmar, was born on 16 September 1687 at Rumbach in the State of Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany. He was subsequently christened on 25 September 1687 in the Evangelisch Lutheran Church at Rumbach. Johannes, who was a nagler (nailsmith) by trade, left Germany as a young man and moved to the vicinity of Langensoultzbach in Bas-Rhin, France. He was later married to a woman named Anna Margaretha Dock (also written Docken). Although no record of their marriage has been found, it probably took place in France. According to the Heidelberg Moravian Church records, Anna Margaretha had been born during the month of May 1688, possibly in the Alsace region of France.
According to available parish records, Johannes and Anna Margaretha were residing in Langensoultzbach during the early 1700's, where all of their children were christened. In 1737, however, they left France and emigrated to the New World. Johannes and Anna Margaretha, along with their two sons, and most likely their three daughters, arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 26 September 1737 aboard the ship "St. Andrew Galley."
Sometime after their arrival, Johannes and Anna Margaretha settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where they appear to have resided for many years. Although Johannes is believed to have died in Lancaster County, the actual date of his passing has not been determined. It is known, however, that he preceded his wife in death. Anna Margaretha, on the other hand, died on 10 December 1753 in Berks County, Pennsylvania, the year after it had been formed from a portion of Lancaster County. She was subsequently buried in the Heidelberg Moravian Church Cemetery in Berks County.

43. Philipp Henrich Stoehr (Johann Philipp Stoehr).
NOTE: Although Philipp Henrich Stoehr is the name that was entered in the baptismal records of the Evangelisch Lutheran Church at Langensoultzbach, I believe this was an error on the part of the person making the entry. Even though it was common for siblings to have similar given names, baptismal names were invariably different. This individual was subsequently referred to as John Philipp Stoehr in the marriage records of the Rev. John Casper Stover, and is known to have used, and been identified by, the name Philipp throughout his life. As a consequence, I believe the baptismal entry should actually have read Johann Philipp Stoehr.
Philipp Stoehr (also written Stehr), the son of Johannes Stoehr and Anna Margaretha Dock, was born on 18 February 1716 at Langensoultzbach in the Province of Bas-Rhin, France. He was subsequently christened in the Evangelisch Lutheran Church at Langensoultzbach on 20 February 1716. As a young man, Philipp emigrated with his parents to America, eventually settling in that portion of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania that is now part of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.
On 27 April 1742, Philipp married at Warwick in Lancaster County to a woman named Anna Maria Holler, the daughter of Johann Nicolaus Holler (also written Huller) and his wife, Anna Maria. Anna, who had been born on 17 March 1724/25, probably at Ungstein in the State of Rhineland-Pfalz, Germany, emigrated to the New World with her family when only 12 years of age. Ironically, both Philipp and Anna came on the ship "St. Andrew Galley," which arrived at Philadelphia on 26 September 1737.
Philipp, who was a wagon maker by trade, died on 22 August 1781 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His will, which was written on 23 July 1781, was later admitted for probate before the Lancaster County Court on 27 September 1781. Anna, on the other hand, died in Lancaster County on 28 August 1804. She was subsequently buried in the Moravian Cemetery at Hebron in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (now part of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania). Philipp and Anna were married for 39 years and had 13 children.

44. Anna Elizabeth Stoehr.
Anna Elizabeth Stoehr, the daughter of Johannes Stoehr and Anna Margaretha Dock, was christened on 22 April 1717 in the Evangelisch Lutheran Church at Langensoultzbach in the Bas-Rhin region of France. Although it is believed that Anna Elizabeth emigrated with the rest of the family to Pennsylvania, no additional information has been found which pertains to this individual.
45. Maria Margaretha Stoehr.
Maria Margaretha Stoehr, the daughter of Johannes Stoehr and Anna Margaretha Dock, was christened on 6 July 1721 in the Evangelisch Lutheran Church at Langensoultzbach in the Bas-Rhin region of France. According to available records, on 13 March 1739, the Rev. John Casper Stoever married a woman named Margaretha Stoer [sic] to a man named Johann David Buehler in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The children named in Johann David Buehler’s will, which was written on 3 March 1770, and probated in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 2 March 1784, were: Henry, George, Mary, Anna, and Barbara.
Although this Margaretha Stoehr may very well be the Margaretha Stoer named in the marriage record, Johann David Buehler’s wife is generally given as Anna Margaretha Stoehr instead of Maria Margaretha Stoehr in various genealogies. Because I have not been able to sort through this confusion to my satisfaction, I have refrained from including any additional information on this family in this write-up.
46. Maria Dorothea Stoehr.

74. Anna Margaretha Stoehr.
Anna Margaretha Stoehr (also written Stehr, Stair, Stare, etc.), the daughter of Johann Henrich Stoehr and Maria Barbara (Frey) Bruecher, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 2 August 1740. She was later married in Pennsylvania to a man named Joseph Sturgis. (Note: This may be the marriage that took place at Reading in Berks County, Pennsylvania on 4 August 1766 between a Joseph Sturgis and Anna Margaret Staehrin). Joseph, who had been born at Philadelphia in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania on 16 March 1738, was the son of Joseph Sturgis and Jane Hatfield.
After their marriage, Joseph and Anna Margaretha resided in Lebanon Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (now within Lebanon County, Pennsylvania), where Joseph worked as a potter and linen weaver. Joseph later served in the Revolutionary War in a Regiment of Light Infantry from Lancaster County. In 1782, Joseph and Anna Margaretha moved to Lititz in Lancaster County. Although they later moved to York County, Pennsylvania in 1803, they returned to Lititz in about 1812 to take care of their son Samuel.
Joseph subsequently died at Lititz in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 9 June 1817, while Anna Margaretha died there on 1 March 1821. Both were buried in the Moravian Church Cemetery at Lititz. Although Joseph and Anna Margaretha are said to have had ten children, seven sons and three daughters, they appear to have actually had eleven children. Their first child, Elizabeth, died in infancy.

Although Anna Maria is believed to have died in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, the date of her death has not been determined. Peter, on the other hand, apparently died in 1813 in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. His will, which was written while he was residing in Londonderry Township in Dauphin County, was dated 27 November 1812. It was later probated, however, in Lebanon County on 23 April 1813.

In about 1771, Henry moved to the State of North Carolina, where he settled with the Moravian colony located in Surry County. Henry was later married in Surry County to a woman named Anna Dorothea Shutz on 1 June 1774.
After their marriage, Henry and Anna resided in that portion of Surry County that was later formed into Stokes County in 1789, but is now within Forsyth County, North Carolina. Although Henry is not believed to have served in the Revolutionary War, his name was found on a list of "able bodied men" from Bethabara, North Carolina which was dated 16 July 1778. Henry, who was a shoemaker by trade, died in 1812 at Bethabara in what was then Stokes County, North Carolina. His will, which had been written on 3 August 1812, was subsequently admitted for probate before the Stokes County Court during its September 1812 term. Anna, on the other hand, died at Bethabara in 1816.

This child died in infancy on 30 September 1751 in Lancaster County. She was subsequently buried in the Heidelberg Moravian Church Cemetery in what is now Berks County, Pennsylvania.
79. Johannes "John" Stoehr.
Johannes Stoehr (also written Stehr, Stair, Stare, etc.), the son of Johann Henrich Stoehr and Maria Barbara (Frey) Bruecher, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 10 March 1751. John was later married in Lancaster County to a woman named Anna Yordy. Anna was the daughter of Peter Yordy (also written Yorty) and his wife, Mary.
When John’s father died in 1782, he left John and his brother, Jacob, his plantation consisting of 267 acres. This property was situated in Lebanon Township in that portion of Lancaster County that was formed into Dauphin County, Pennsylvania in 1785. When this land was later divided, John’s share consisted of 128 and one half acres. John and Anna subsequently sold this property on 13 April 1790 to a Mr. George Reinel. In addition to the above property, Anna’s father, Peter Yordy, also left John and Anna 50 acres of land in his will dated 12 September 1786. No settlement of Peter Yordy’s estate was found in the records of Dauphin County, however.
Reference to John and Anna was last found in the Dauphin County land records under the date of April 1799 when they were found selling a 120 acre tract of land to Abraham Landis. Although this John Stoehr may be the John Stoehr who died in Newberry Township in York County, Pennsylvania in 1815, this remains to be verified.

80. Johann Jacob Stoehr.
Johann Jacob Stoehr (also written Stehr, Stair, Stare, etc.), the son of Johann Henrich Stoehr and Maria Barbara (Frey) Bruecher, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on 12 March 1753. He was later married in the Moravian Church in Bethel Township in Lancaster County (now within Lebanon County, Pennsylvania) to a woman named Maria Barbara Kohr on 24 June 1783. Maria Barbara, who had been born in Lancaster County on 24 July 1766, was the daughter of George Casper Kohr and his second wife, Catherine Neff.
Jacob and Maria Barbara eventually moved to York County, Pennsylvania, where they resided on a farm on Little Conewago Creek for the remainder of their lives. Maria Barbara subsequently died in York County from "a bilious fever" on 9 June 1821, while Jacob died there on 15 November 1840 from an accidental fall as he stepped out of his house. Although Jacob and Maria are believed to have had twelve children, the identities of only ten have been determined, and one other, an unnamed son, died shortly after birth. Jacob was buried in the Moravian Cemetery at York.

When John’s father, Philipp Stoehr, died in 1781, John inherited the family gristmill and adjacent lands in the town of Lebanon in Lancaster County. After Dauphin County was split off from Lancaster County in 1785, this property was situated in that county. During the month of June 1792, John sold this property to his brother-in-law, John Schnee. Several years later, John and Margaret moved into Franklin County, Pennsylvania, where they appear to have resided for the remainder of their lives.

At about the time of their marriage, or shortly thereafter, Henry and Mary appear to have moved into Franklin County, Pennsylvania, where they are found buying and selling land in Hamilton Township. In 1800, however, Henry and Mary moved to Virginia, eventually settling near Fincastle in Botetourt County. The earliest records which were found in Botetourt County that pertained to him were a number of property deeds which were recorded in 1803. According to the legal description of some of his property, Henry and Mary settled along Looney's Mill Creek, where Henry built and operated a paper mill. Over the years, most of Henry and Mary's offspring moved from Virginia to settle in Indiana and Wisconsin.
Henry and Mary apparently resided in Botetourt County, Virginia for the remainder of their lives. Mary subsequently died there on 28 January 1854, while Henry died there on 12 April 1858.

169. William Stoehr.
William Stoehr (also written Stair), the son of Johannes "John" Stoehr and Margaret Greenwalt, was born on 19 August 1800 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was later married in Pennsylvania to a woman named Sarah "Sally" Miller. Sally, who was also a native of Pennsylvania, had been born there on 26 December 1797.
In about 1826, William and Sally moved west into the State of Ohio. Although they appear to have spent some time in Richland County, Ohio after their arrival, they eventually settled in the vicinity of Swanton in Lucas County, Ohio. William died on 9 January 1848 in Lucas County, while Sally died there on 15 September 1850. Both were subsequently buried in the Swanton Cemetery which was situated across the county line in Fulton County. Although William had already passed away, he was mentioned in his brother, Philip's, will in 1855. Philip, who had remained in Pennsylvania, apparently had not been informed of his brother’s death before he wrote his will.

170. Jacob Stoehr.
Jacob Stoehr (also written Stair), the son of Johannes "John" Stoehr and Margaret Greenwalt, was born on 21 January 1802 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. He was later married in Pennsylvania to a woman named Susannah Poorman on 13 September 1825. Susannah, who had been born in Franklin County on 11 October 1807, was the daughter of Peter Poorman and Anna Maria Reichard.
After their marriage, Jacob and Susannah remained in Franklin County for about one year. In the Fall of 1826, however, they moved with her father, Peter Poorman, to Starke County, Ohio. Jacob and Susannah resided on a farm in Starke County until about 1839, at which time they moved to Montgomery Township in Richland County, Ohio. Montgomery Township was situated in that portion of Richland County that was formed into Ashland County, Ohio in 1846.
Jacob and Susannah later moved to Elkhart County, Indiana, however, where they purchased 120 acres of land from a man named Jacob Metzgar on 19 April 1851, and an additional 113 acres of land from a Mr. John Wheeler on 25 April 1853. This latter parcel was located in Baugo Township in Elkhart County, and it was on this farm that Jacob and Susannah resided for the remainder of their lives. Susannah died in Baugo Township on 19 April 1892, while Jacob died there on 15 August 1893. Both were subsequently buried in the Noffsinger Baptist Cemetery near Jamestown in Elkhart County.

Anna Stoehr (also written Stair), the daughter of Johannes "John" Stoehr and Margaret Greenwalt, was born on 9 April 1806 in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. She was later married to a man named Michael Grossman on 15 August 1826 at Chambersburg in Franklin County. Michael, who was also a native of Pennsylvania, had been born there on 21 January 1800. Anna subsequently died in Franklin County, Pennsylvania on 2 November 1868.
After Anna passed away, Michael remained in Pennsylvania, where he is found on the 1870 census residing in Montgomery County. In 1871, however, Michael moved west into Indiana, where he settled just south of Wolcottville in Noble County. Although Michael Grossman died in Noble County, Indiana on 17 April 1876, his will, which had been written on 7 February 1876, was later probated before the Lagrange County Court on 26 April 1876. Michael was subsequently buried in the Woodruff Cemetery in Lagrange County.

173. John Stair.
John Stair, the son of Johann Henrich Stoehr and Mary Magdalene Landis, was born in Pennsylvania in about 1794. He was later married in Botetourt County, Virginia to a woman named Elizabeth Harshbarger on 23 March 1815. Elizabeth, who was also a native of Virginia, was calculated to have been born there in 1794. She was the daughter of Christian Harshbarger and Barbara Ammen.
John and Elizabeth remained in Botetourt County for about thirteen years after their marriage. In about 1828/29, however, they moved to the State of Indiana, where they settled along the Wabash River in Tippecanoe County. On 27 March 1829, John purchased 80 acres of land in Washington Township from David Blackburn, and in 1831 he purchased an additional 316 acres of land from a Mr. Jessie Jackson. In 1841, however, John appears to have died during a trip back to Virginia, where he had gone on business.

176. Jacob Stair.
Jacob Stair, the son of Johann Henrich Stoehr and Mary Magdalene Landis, was born on 7 July 1800, probably in Botetourt County, Virginia. Jacob was apparently married twice during his life. He married his first wife, Elizabeth Flook, in Botetourt County on 4 January 1821. Elizabeth, who was also a native of Virginia, had been born there on 8 March 1800. She was the daughter of Peter Flook (also written Fluke).
Jacob and Elizabeth remained in Botetourt County for approximately seven years after their marriage. In 1828 they apparently moved to the State of Indiana, where Jacob is found purchasing land in Carroll County from a Mr. Hugh Manary on 2 January 1829. He later sold this property on 12 March 1831 to a man named Henry Robinson, and it is believed that he and Elizabeth may have returned to Virginia at this time. By 1837, however, Jacob and Elizabeth were residing in Green County, Wisconsin, as Elizabeth is known to have died there on 27 May 1837. She was subsequently buried in the West Clarno Pioneer Cemetery.
After Elizabeth passed away, Jacob appears to have returned to Botetourt County, Virginia again, where he married on 21 March 1838 for a second time to a woman named Mary Walker. Mary, who had been born in Virginia on 20 October 1819, was the daughter of Thomas and Sarah Walker. After their marriage, Jacob and Mary returned to Green County, Wisconsin, where Jacob died on 15 October 1863.
After Jacob passed away, Mary married for a second time to a man named O. H. P. Clarno at Monroe in Green County on 31 January 1878. Mary subsequently died in Green County on 27 March 1884. Both Jacob and Mary were buried in the West Clarno Pioneer Cemetery in Clarno Township.
The child listed below as (male) was abstracted from available pre-1850 census records. Although this child is believed to be one of Jacob and Elizabeth's sons, his identity has yet to be determined.

177. Philip Stair.
Philip Stair, the son of Johann Henrich Stoehr and Mary Magdalene Landis, was born in 1802 in Botetourt County, Virginia. He was later married in about 1824 in Virginia to a woman named Mariah Landis. Mariah, who was also a native of Virginia, was calculated to have been born there in 1804.
Philip remained in Botetourt County until about 1828/29 when he moved to Tippecanoe County in the State of Indiana. On 12 May 1830, Philip purchased a 10.43 acre tract of land situated near Sugar Creek in Washington Township from a Mr. John Fisher. During the following year, 1831, Philip built a sawmill on this land. Ironically, the first election to be held in Washington Township was held during the month of April 1832 at Philip’s sawmill. Philip died on 1 October 1834 in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. He was buried in the North Union Cemetery in Tippecanoe County.
Mariah subsequently married for a second time on 35 March 1839 in Tippecanoe County to a man named Jacob Bimm. Jacob, who was a native of Pennsylvania, was calculated to have been born there in 1814. Mariah had two additional children with Jacob Bimm, namely Edgar who was born in about 1841, and Parker who was born in about 1844. Both were born in Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

178. Peter Landis Stair.
Peter Landis Stair, the son of Johann Henrich Stoehr and Mary Magdalene Landis, was born in Botetourt County, Virginia on 15 February 1805. He was later married in Botetourt County to a woman named Mary "Polly" Beckner on 6 March 1826. Mary, who had been born on 14 April 1806 in Botetourt County, was the daughter of Jonathan Beckner and Susanna Sauers (also written Sowers).
In 1828, Peter purchased a small farm in 1828 from his father which was situated along Looney's Mill Creek. In about 1830, however, Peter appears to have moved to the State of Indiana. He apparently became sick in Indiana and eventually returned to his farm in Virginia, claiming Indiana was an unhealthy place to live. Peter and Mary subsequently remained in Botetourt County until 1855 when they, along with most of their children, moved to Green County, Wisconsin. They arrived in Green County on 30 June 1855, and shortly thereafter they purchased a farm near the town of Jefferson.
In 1865, Peter and Mary moved to another farm, however. This second farm was located about one mile north of Jefferson and was said to have been more improved. They remained on this farm until age and health prohibited them from operating it any longer. At that time they retired to the town of Juda in Green County. Peter died at Juda on 15 November 1878, while Mary passed away there four years later on 9 September 1882. Both were buried in the Union Church Cemetery in Green County, Wisconsin.
NOTE: In William Beckner's manuscript "The Beckners of Botetourt," he states that Mary Beckner married (1) David Harter and (2) Peter L. Stair (Stoehr). In reality, the Mary Beckner who was married to David Harter was the daughter of Jacob Beckner, son of Nicholas Beckner. She and David had been married on 6 August 1804 in Franklin County, Virginia and moved to Montgomery County, Ohio prior to 1819. Our Mary Beckner, the daughter of Jonathan Beckner, was only married once, and that was to Peter Landis Stair in 1826.

However, Jonathan was only two years of age when his father died in 1830, and Jonathan and several of his siblings appear to have subsequently been split up and placed with other families. Whether Jonathan may have confused his oldest sister, Rebecca, with being his mother, or someone mistakenly wrote the name of Zylpha’s mother, Rebecca, in the wrong place on their marriage record, or whatever else might explain this, I simply do not know. I do believe, however, that the marriage record is incorrect, and that Jonathan’s parents were most likely Johann Heinrich "Henry" Stoehr and his wife, Elizabeth Shouse).
In 1850, the Forsyth County, North Carolina census enumeration shows Jonathan as being a single man, working as a farmer, and living in the household of Mr. John Blum. Sometime after this census was taken, however, Jonathan moved to Virginia, where he is subsequently found in the Floyd County marriage records marrying Zylpha Hylton on 24 December 1855. Zylpha, who was calculated to have been born in 1835 in Virginia, was the daughter of Valentine Hylton and Rebecca Arter. According to later census enumerations for Floyd County, Virginia, Jonathan also worked as a brick mason and miller.
Zylpha is believed to have died in Floyd County, Virginia in 1883, while Jonathan died there during the following year on 22 April 1884. Both were subsequently buried in Willis Churches Cemetery in Burks Fork Township in Floyd County.

298. Charlotte "Lottie" Stair.
Charlotte Stair, the daughter of Jacob Stoehr and Susannah Poorman, was born in Richland County, Ohio on 19 December 1842. At the present time, it is not known for sure whether or not Charlotte was married two times or three times. On the 1870 and 1880 census enumerations for Elkhart County, Indiana there is a child named Carrie E. Stair living with Charlotte in the home of Charlotte’s parents, Jacob and Susannah Stair. This child is listed as being a grand daughter who was born in about 1868. Although I believe this child is Charlotte’s daughter, I do not know if she was born out of wedlock, or if she was from a first marriage.
What is known for sure, however, is that this child was born approximately five years prior to Charlotte’s marriage to a man named Rufus Huntsinger on 6 March 1873 in Elkhart County, Indiana. In the 1870 census of Baugo Township in Elkhart County, Charlotte was listed as being single and a teacher. In the 1880 census, however, Rufus and Charlotte apparently went their separate ways, as Charlotte was listed in this census as being divorced and a dressmaker.
On 25 November 1893, Charlotte married again, also in Elkhart County, to a man named William Moyer. William, who was a native of Pennsylvania, was calculated to have been born there in 1838. Charlotte died in Elkhart County on 12 November 1911. She was subsequently buried in the Noffsinger Cemetery in Baugo Township in Elkhart County. No issue have been found from either of Charlotte’s marriages to Rufus Huntsinger or William Moyer.

After their marriage, Obediah and Luticia settled on a farm in Baugo Township in Elkhart County, Indiana, where they appear to have resided for many years. Luticia died in Baugo Township on 23 April 1893, while Obediah died on 16 September 1916 at the home of his daughter, Minnie, at Elkhart. Both were subsequently buried in the Noffsinger Cemetery in Baugo Township.
