Jacob Showalter, son of Ulrich Showalter and Susanna Watterson, married Dorothy Snyder (Dorothea Schneider), dau. of Jacob Snyder and Dorothea Shambaugh.Dorothy was born in Montgomery County, PA, 14 Feb 1767.She died prior to 1821 in Frederick Co., VA.The children of Jacob and Dorothy Snyder are:

Andrew Showalter m. (1) Dorothy Snyder; (2) Polly McFarland; moved to Walnut Twp., Fairfield Co., OH (1830 and 1840 Census)
Jacob Showalter m. Catharine Huffman (not Coffman), dau. of George Huffman and Barbara Butt; moved to Rockingham Co., VA and in 1933 to Augusta Co., VA near Mt. Solon (my ancestor)
George Showalter m. Elizabeth Venable; moved in various places: Rockbridge Co., in 1832, back in Frederick Co., in Rockingham Co., by 1840; Bullitt Co., KY, ca. 1856; and finally Wetzel Co., WV ca. 1862.
Valentine Showalter m. Rachel Carson, dau. of John Carson; remained in Reliance, Frederick Co., (after 1836, Warren Co.) VA, Blacksmith
Polly Showalter m. George Myers

Catharine Showalter m. Thomas Carson, son of John Carson
Nimrod S. Showalter m. (1) Sally Huffman, dau. of George Huffman and Barbara Butt; (2) Sarah Snyder; (3) Mrs. Catherine Huffman; moved to Augusta Co., VA.
After Dorothy's death; Jacob remarried an Indian Maid (name unknown. The son by this marriage
Robert Showalter: b. Sept. 1823; moved to Sabina, Clinton Co., OH m. there to Sarah Glasgow
Jacob married a third time to Elizabeth Myers, dau. of Henry Myers.They had four children:
Joseph Showalter m. (1)Harriet Ann Orndorff; (2) Priscilla Mary Orndorff; (2) Ann Ritenour; moved to Delaware Co., OH by 1860 and to Adams Co., IN by 1867 when his first wife died.
Daniel Showalter m. Narcissa Jane Riley, dau. of John and Frances Riley
Eliza Showalter m. Joseph Messick
Dorothy Jand Showalter m. Moses Henry; resided in Cedar Grove, Warren Co., VA.
I never understood why the death date given for Ulrich Showalter is that of his wife, July 31, 1815.The last document I know of and have seen is the deed dated Dec. 13, 1816 and recorded in Jan. 1817 at the Fayette Co., Courthouse when Ulrich signed over his farm in Georges Twp., Fayette Co., PA.According to family tradition, he left the area and was not heard of again.No one knows his death date or where he died or was buried.
