George,
There are too many Jacob Sticklers to keep straight!Patricia Purvis' aunt, Helen Horn, is the great-granddaughter of Jacob Stickler and Catherine George.Jacob's brother, Michael Stickler, is my GGGrandfather.
According to the 1850 Stark Co, Ohio census, page 15b, Jacob and Catherine report their ages as 36.However, Jacob died in 1854 and his tombstone in Hartville-Union Cemetery in Lake Twp, Stark Co, Ohio lists his age as 42.This is viewable on the web, as is the census page image.
Catherine apparently then moved to Whitley Co, Indiana (perhaps with Michael and his family) and subsequently married John Siling on 14 Jan 1862 in Whitley Co, Indiana.
Catherine's daughter Catherine, married John Horn (don't have the date), their son Frank married Ellen Seabourne (no date) and Helen is the daughter of Frank and Ellen.
Contrary to Helen Horn's version of the family history, the 1850 census lists both Jacob and Catherine as natives of Pennsylvania, and I am pretty sure the family lived in Lancaster Co.When the marriages of Jacob's siblings were reported in the Ohio Reporter (Canton, Ohio) the name was spelled STICHLER, as it was also spelled on the land patents of Jacob's father, George.Since the family was illiterate (at least in English) spelling was variable.
I have no documentation of when this line came to the US, but the origins were most likely Germany (which STICHLER would confirm)
The Whitley County Sticklers have had an annual reunion since 1921 and will have the 81st on Saturday 8 September 2 miles north of Pierceton, Indiana on SR 13.The basis of my genealogy is a family tree that was distributed at the 1933 reunion.Even that had errors as discovered in my further research.
I would be happy to trade info with Pat.
