Hi, a book published by ABK Publications 3 Lakeview Drive, Hanover, NH 03755 "John Bixler, Pioneer, Immigrant, Farmer" written by Agnes Bixler Kurtz, (2nd edition,2000 ) should be of help for your ancestors going back from David.At the time of publication this family of Frederick had little details on descendances forward Ms.Bixler Simpson was helpful for that, as according to Agnes Kurtz she is correct about Frederick Jacob being son of David Bixler & Leah Baker. (Ropemaker's line- David was the son of Frederick Bixler (1787-1871) and Sarah Weibling (1796-1885) born in Maryland.) Some of this Frederick's children went to OHIO : David, listed above and Edward Bixler another brother John went to Indiana and perhaps others? by the way, David had a brother Henry, who married Elizabeth Baker who may be related to Leah?
This is not my line but I have seen the book and perhaps copies are available or may be in a genealogy library near you? or at familysearch.org?For the Early generations it would be helpful for you for those living in York Co., PA and Maryland.Good Luck,
Sarah Bixler Quinn
