Engel Cassel - born about 1785, married Elizabeth Bier, son John Cassel born July 17, 1807 at Runscombmanor Township.
William Knorr - possibly born Germany abt. 1830, emigrated to Berks Co., wife was "Holland Dutch," son Jonathan Knorr was born January 10, 1851 in Berks County.
Any help appreciated.
Looking for ninth g-grandfather, DANIEL FALKNER. (b.ca. 1660) in either Germany or the border sector of Basel-Stadt in Switzerland. I have heard of "Falkners Swamp" in Berks County and wonder if it could have been his property at one time. He probably came to PA in the early 1680s, and his son, THOMAS FAULKNER was born 1686/87, married Mary Catherine Ferree in 1715, and died in 1752, in Bethlehem Twp. Would like to know exactly where he emigrated, the ship and date on which he arrived. Appreciate any help or lead.
I would also like to know more about the family of Henry Reichelderfer. He had a daughter, I believe, named Magdalena, who married Jacob Shumaker.
These families were all from Berks County, PA. Late 1700's/early 1800's. Members of these families remain in Berks County but a big number of these families moved west to Fairfield County, Ohio along the Zane Trail in the early 1800's.
My line moved and I would like some help with the Pennsylvania research.
Tobias' son Johannes (1736-1813) married Maria Magdalena Hagenbuch (1740-1805). Their children were Jacob, Barbara, John Jr. and Catharine who married Frederick J. Lutz.
Another son of Tobias was Jacob Stapleton (abt. 1748-1794). He married Maria Margaretha Reichelderfer. Their children were John (b. May 22, 1774 in Albany Twp., Berks Co., PA) Margaret (Twin to John who died shortly after childbirth) Susanna (b. Nov. 24, 1778), Maria Catharine (b. June 26, 1782, and Solomon, b. July 28, 1790 (all in Berks County, PA).
Maria Margaretha Reichelderfer was the daughter of Friederich Jacob Reichelderfer and Anna Christina Hagenbuch.
John Stapleton/Stebelton m. Mary Magdalena Schumacher in 1795 in Berks County, PA. On June 20, 1796 they had twins, David and Jacob. David Stebelton is my 3-G Grandfather. In 1797 John and possibly Magdalena traveled from Berks County to Fairfield County, OH on horseback with others who were moving west. Jacob Schumacher and Elizabeth Magdalena Reichelderfer (Magdalena's parents) also went to Fairfield/Pickaway County either in the same group or shortly thereafter.
Jacob Schumachers parents were John Geroge Schumacher and Anna Barbara Rittenhouse. Elizabeth Magdalena Reichelderfer's parents were John Heinrich Reichelderfer and Maria Catherina Liebengut/Liebegutgin/Liebenguth.
There is lots more on the PA Stapletons/Stebeltons. Try the Rootsweb Stapleton Board.
Which family are you from? If you have more specific questions, I will try to answer them if you contact me directly.

Sept 10, 1753 - "Jacob Sammit" arrives in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania on the Ship Beulah, captained by _____ Richey from Rotterdam, last from Cowes, England. Cowes is on the Isle of Wight which lies just two miles off the southeastern coast of England, across a narrow stretch of water called the Solent. The original notation is in German: "Sept. 10, 1753 Schiff Beulah, Capitain Richey, von Rotterdam uber Cowes."
April 27, 1755 - "Early Records of the First Reformed Church of Philadelphia; Volume 1; 1748-1780" Christian Sammet m. Maria Stahler, on April 27, 1755. It is important to know that Berks County was formed from Philadelphia County in 1752, just the year before Jacob arrived at Philadelphia. Point being this is the same locale that Christian Sammet married Maria Stahlern in 1755, I believe this to be a connection between the two individuals.
