KINGERY Families

Switzerland or Germany to Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Indiana

KINGERY's were Church of the Brethren

My third great-grandparents Hannah KINGERY 1801-1858 Virginia to Greene County, Ohio to Miami County and Wabash County, Indiana and Jacob FALLIS before 1800-1824. Jacob is most likely buried in the FALLIS Pioneer Cemetery in Greene County, Ohio on the family farm with his age 27 not 17 as the tombstone states. Hannah remarried to Ginnethon KELLEY

Hannah's parents were Martin KINGERY 1774-1865 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to Franklin County, Virginia to Greene County, Ohio to Union County, Indiana and Mary "Polly" WEBB 1780-1818 Franklin County, Virginia to Greene County, Ohio. Martin remarried to Mary HILDEBRAND. His tombstone says he was around 91 years old making him one of my oldest ancestors.

Martin's parents were Jacob KINGERY about 1751-1811 Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to Franklin and Union County, Indiana and Franky unknown about 1755.

It is possible Jacob's parents were Jost KINGERY of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania from the 1776 will of Yost GINGERIC, deed hightlights of his son Christian's 1796 deed, and son Michael's 1785 deed. Our Jacob had son's Christian and Michael, but no Jost.

Jacob's parents could also have been Peter KINGERY abt 1733-1786 of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. There are several versions of who his wife was and who his parents were. I am still trying to straighten things out. Merle RUMMEL points out in his Virginia Four Mile Colony that Jacob is mentioned in his father Peter's 1786 will. There are several Jacob KINGERY's and ours did not have a son Peter, so I need to find this will for further verification.

GINGERICH is thought to be the family name in Switzerland. There appear to be many GINGERICH and KINGERY families in Pennsylvania.

An unresolved KINGERY riddle is who is Mary E. daughter of John and Eliza J. KINGERY buried in the FALLIS Pioneer Cemetery? Everyone in this family burial ground is related. John KINGERY apparently was born in Maryland a son of a Christian KINGERY born in Hesse D Germany. Strange, but this Mary KINGERY died in 1850 is also listed as buried in the fifth row in the Alley Chapel Cemetery. I visited the Alley Chapel cemetery in 2005, but could not find her tombstone.

Colby KINGERY is working on making those KINGERY connections. His posting indicates he has the family tree figured out back to Johanes Heinrich KINGERY 1690-1766 of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

I never met Cheska Wheatley, but I found her KINGERY and WEBB family web pages years ago that were a big help with these families. I subscribed to the Quaker Roots List for a number of years where she was the moderator. I never felt I had time to email her and now it is too late. She passed away November 30, 2003.
