Misc. Notes
--From Issac's (Jacob's son) health records in Indiana, it shows his
father's name to be "Issac". But from the Culp Family Book, they
show his name to be "Jacob" ... so far I don't know if one or the
other is his middle name ... I'm still searching for more
information.
--It seems, from the Culp Family Book, that all the Jacob GODSHALK
children's last names were spelled "GODSHALL" ... I don't know why
yet ... but their father's last name was shown as "GODSHALK". Some
of the children (male) may have kept the spelling of GODSHALL as
their family name. All I know is that Issac didn't and all of his
descendents kept the spelling as GODSHALK.
--The book, "History of the descendants of J. Conrad GEIL and his son
Jacob GEIL", show Jacob's name to be "JACOB" and he was married to
Elizabeth. The book also tells that they moved to Riverstick (near
Wadsworth), Medina County, Ohio on 6 April 1833.
--They moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio in 1832, in the CULP family
book.
--They were Mennonites.
