My Stauffer lineage began with my g-g-g grandmother, Maria Stauffer Overholt (1791-1874), wife of Abraham Overholt (1784-1870) of West Overton, located in Western Pennsylvania. They were married in 1809, and were buried in the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Mount Pleasant, PA. I am interested in hearing from anybody who may have some information to share about this line. Many articles about the Overholt-Stauffer families and photos can be found on my GeoCities web site, and everyone is invited to see them: www.geocities.com/kroverholtcritchfield/ . I am happy to share whatever information I have on hand, much supported by published genealogical material (Winifred Paul's "Along the Banks of Jacobs Creek," Barbara Ford's "The Oberholtzer Book," and A. J. Fretz' "The Descendants of Martin Oberholtzer"). Bye, for now! Karen Rose Overholt Critchfield
