pp. 1001-1002
"GEORGE W. BERINGER, farmer and oil producer, was born March 23, 1837, in Franklin, Pennsylvania. He is a son of George and Margaret (Davis) Beringer. George Beringer, Sr., was born in 1809 in Bedford county, and is a son of John and Jane (Leim) Beringer. In 1836 he came to Venango county, and was employed at the old Van Buren furnace. In 1840 he removed to Clinton township and engaged in farming. In 1850 he purchased the farm where he now resides, in Clinton township. He was the first road commissioner elected in Clinton township. He is the father of twelve children, six of whom are living: Elizabeth J., Mrs. James Shiner; George W. ; David, of Crawford county; Sarah, Mrs. David Hovis; Jesse, and Martha, Mrs. Jacob P____.
Our subject was educated in the common schools, and his early life was spent upon the farm. I n 1860 he engaged in the construction of derricks for the oil producers; later on he commenced operating for himself, and at the present time he has eleven producing wells, and also conducts a farm of four hundred acres. Politically Mr. Beringer and his father are life-long Democrats. Our subject was married in September, 1862, to Miss Nancy J., daughter of Andrew Shiner, of Sandy Creek township, and by this union they have nine children: Andrew C., born November 17, 1863; Margaret J., born March 21, 1865, the wife of William J. C. Bumgardner; Artlyssey, born February 26, 1867, wife of Francis Davis of Clinton township; George B., born November 21., 1868; John F., born December 12, 1872; Amelda M., born December 1, 1874; James W., born October 4, 1879; Grace S., born December 24, 1882, and Grover Cleveland, born August 17, 1884."
I would like to know more about the Beighlea/Bohlender connections with this family.
