General Notes: Husband - Frederick Benninghoff

---

He was born in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. He was a weaver by trade, which he followed in connection with farming. In 1827, he came to Venango County, and settled in Sugarcreek township where he remained one year, and then removed to Cherrytree township, and lived there until his death.

The Benninghoffs of Bradford, Pennsylvania, descend through four generations in the United States from an old and honored family of Germany, seated there for centuries. The American ancestor, whose Christian name is unknown, was born in Wittemburg, Germany, died in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, removing thence from Lehigh County, same state.

He was born in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania and between the years 1810 and 1812 he removed to Union County. About 1828 he removed to Clearfield county, and be-tween the years 1830 and 1832 removed to Ve-nango County, where he spent the remainder of his days. For several years prior to his death he resided with his son John. He was a member of the Lutheran church.

He died in 1858. [HVC 1879, 567]
