General Notes: Husband - Jacob Daubenspeck


He came from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, about 1796, and settled in the northern part of Parker Township, Butler County. His wife died there and he removed to Clarion County, where he settled and married again. His original farm in Butler County was sold to his sons, George and Philip. [HBC 1883, 405]

In 1796, he moved to the western part of Pennsylvania and settled near Bruin. He brought with him his wife and five sons and three daughters, all grown to manhood and womanhood. He lost his wife and she was buried on the farm near Bruin. Then he sold his farm to his two youngest sons, George Daubenspeck and Philip Daubenspeck, who divided the homestead between them. The other brothers moved across the Allegheny river and settled, two, Lewis Daubenspeck and John Daubenspeck, on Redbank creek, and Henry Daubenspeck on Mahoning creek. The father, Jacob Daubenspeck, moved to Indiana County, Pennsylvania, remarried, and had one son, who died at the age of eighteen years. When the father died he was buried at Squirrel Hill, Clarion County, Pennsylvania.

He was born of German parents, and passed his youthful days in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he married his wife. Some time between the years 1796 and 1800, he emigrated westward and finally settled in the region that became Parker Township, Butler County. [HBC 1883, 444]

He left his home in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and migrated to what is now Butler County, then a part of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He had served from Luzerne County, during the Revolutionary war, as a Continental Ranger. He bought a farm in Parker township, Butler County, in 1796, which was later owned by Euphemia Daubenspeck. Later, with two of his sons, Louis and John, he settled at Red Bank Creek, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he died and is buried in Squirrel Hill churchyard.
