My great grandfather Jacob LEOPOLD married a Sophia WAGNER on 16 Jan
1866 at Brady's Bend, Armstrong County, PA. Supposedly she was born in
1841 and died on 31 Jan 1877 in East Brady, Butler County, PA. There
were at least seven children from this marriage. After her death, my
great grandfather remarried to Marie Ellan BARNHART from Butler County
and then headed off to MN and homesteaded. I am descended from this
second marriage from which there were nine children. Marie Ellan BARNHART
is 5th Gen.-Casper Barnhart, descended from 2nd Gen.Jacob BARNHART's son
Peter BARNHART b. 1775.
I spent a day in Butler in the Butler County Library and with great help
from their friendly staff made phenomenal progress on my Barnhart line
and picked up some good clues on my great great grandmother Rachel
FORINGER Barnhart. But the only Wagner info that I have is Sophia
Wagner's info that I have included in this note. I got that information
from Jacob Leopold's Civil War pension records.
I am in contact (snail mail and tel.) with Howard Barnhart of La Habra,CA
and have copies of his Volume I and II. He is gathering material for
Volume III. Although I am not directly related to the Wagner's by blood,
I am also very interested in making a Wagner connection. They are family
as well and most of the children by the Leopold-Wagner marriage came to MN
and became part of the Leopold-Barnhart-(Wagner) household and clan.
I plan get back up to PA in the Spring. Any help before then would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Gary Leopold, gleopold@btg.com
