Bedford County, Pennsylvania Orphan Court Records (1772-1824), pages 32-33, show a petition to partition Jacob Oyler's land. It lists his children and in case of daughters who they married. They were: Frederick, eldest son; Jacob; Felty (Valentine); Conrad; Mary, intermarried with Benjamin Waddle (Weddle); Jonas; Peter; Laurence; John; Catherine, intermarried with John Link (Ling); Margaret, intermarried with George Coffman; Barbara, intermarried with George Herbaugh; and Motelena, intermarried with Garas Wolf. Names in ( ) my comments, not in court record.
I am descended first through Catherine who married John Ling; their daughter Elizabeth married Jacob Stineman and lived in Cambria County their entire married years. I have a copy of Elizabeth's birth and baptism (German fraktur) that confirms her parentage. The second connection I have not been able to prove to my satisfaction but I believe I am also descended through the son Peter Oyler, through his daughter Catherine who married Henry Sell. Their daughter Margaret Barbara Sell married Elias Stineman, and shortly thereafter her mother, a widow for some years, married Elias's father. Jacob Stineman, the father, would have therefore been married to first cousins - Elizabeth was the daughter of Catherine - and the second wife Mrs. Catherine Sell was the daughter of Peter - both Peter and Catherine children of Jacob Eiler/Oyler/Oiler who died in Bedford County in 1796.
Does anyone have a listing of Peter Eiler/Oyler's (b. bet. 1755-1765) children? I have put together a tentative list. Can anyone add to it or correct it? Peter and Catherine (Fisher)Oiler's children: Catherine, md. Henry Sell; Jacob; John; Peter; Frederick; Elizabeth; Maria. There are at least four more daughters and another son according to early census records.
