• Notes

  http://www.karensbranches.com/OurStaufferCousins/OurStaufferCousins.html From above: It is unfortunate that the A. J. Fretz material inaccurately states: “. . . Maria Stauffer, daughter of Rev. John and Elizabeth Stauffer . . .” And Fretz repeated his mistake elsewhere, when he reported that the wife of (Abraham's brother) Christian Overholt (1786-1868), Elizabeth Stauffer (1794-1887), was the daughter of Rev. John and Elizabeth Stauffer. Thomas Ridenour protested, writing, “I was surprised to learn that A. J. Fretz’s book lists Maria’s father as Rev. John Stauffer, for Abraham Stauffer’s will, dated January 22, 1819, lists among his heirs, ‘my daughter Maria.’ Also, I have in my library three sources which state she was the daughter of Rev. Abraham Stauffer: The Mennonites of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania (Scottdale Mennonite Church, 1942), by Edward Yoder; Over the Alleghenies (Scottdale Mennonite Church, 1965), edited by Gerald Studer; Along the Banks of Jacobs Creek: A Genealogy of a Mennonite Community (Mennonite Publishing House, 1990), by Winifred Paul.
