[NI065589] The 1st reference we have to Christian Livingston m. Anna Spangler 19 Jul 1778, Hagerstown, Washington Co., MD. If he was either a son or a bro. of Andrew Livingston, then he was probably b. this co., possibly in Lancaster Co., PA 2 traditions, (1 related in the "History of Christian Gnaegi"), claim that Christian was a German immigrant. He may have had a former wife who d. MD. He warranted a tract of land located on the Potomac River in Washington Co., MD. This 104 acre tract, called "Storm," was sold to Michael Barkman 1 Apr 1793, by "Christian Levistone & Ann his wife," who were then res.s, Bedford Co., PA. Christian's stepson Christian Spangler & his wife Eve were also parties to the sale. Christian probably remained in MD until 1788, when on 6 Dec he warranted a 150 acre tract of land, Bedford Co., PA. (now Somerset Co.), which he called "Distillery." It was situated in Quemahoning Twp., (now Somerset Twp.) on Spruce Run, a branch of Stoney Creek. This acreage became the site of the Livingston homestead. 3 dys later, Christian's eldest stepson, John Spangler, warranted a 150 acre tract on Quemahoning Creek, which he sold to his stepfather 5 Feb 1793. This tract was later surveyed at 193 acres, & adjoined the lands of Christian Yoder & John Vanderins. Christian Livingston took up 2 other tracts in Quemahoning, 100 acres warranted 15 March 1793, & 100 acres warranted 28 April 1794. Both of these tracts, & the 1 he purchased from John Spangler, were located in what is now Stoneycreek Twp. 1790 census of PA shows Christon Leviston in Bedford Co., with 1 male 16 & up, 2 males under 16, & 4 females. Christian d. before 25 June 1800, when letters of administration on his estate were granted to Anne Livingstone, widow, & Jacob Yotter. On the same dy, a bond of $1200. was posted by Anne Livingstone, Jacob Yotter, Andrew Wey, & Christian Spangler. The inventory of Christian's estate, written in German, taken 27 June 1802, & included some of the following items: 4 oxen, 10 cows, 1 bull, 7 calves, 2 mares, 1 filly, 1 foal, 18 pigs & 19 sheep; a wind mill; 2 plows & 1 harrow; a sled; a loom "and what belongs to it," 4 spinning wheels, a steelyard, & a lantern; a shoemaker; misc. dishes, spoons, plates, bowls, pots & crocks; 1 butterchurn; axes, augers, chisels, planes, a hatchet, a mallet & a wedge; a grindstone & a whetstone; a sheep shear; a bellows & fire tongs; 6 beds & 4 bedsteads; several chests; misc. horse harness, collars, halters, bridles & chains; 2 saddles & 1 saddle bag; a watch; 2 psalters & 3 hymn books. Christian's occupation as a distiller was apparent in his inventory; in addition to the above items he also owned 1 still kettle, 11 casks, 1 barrel keg, 4 iron kettles, & 4 barrels of vinegar. His crops in the field included wheat, grass & rye. Christian's estate was appraised at $658.33., & realized an additional $106.71. at the venue sale. Christian was bur. in a lone grave near Friedens, on a farm that was later owned by John Long. A petition on Christian's estate was recorded 7 May 1805, Orphan's Court, which named Christian's widow & all of his chldn.: "David Levingston, eldest son; Ann Levingston, widow; Christian Royer & Elizabeth his wife late Elizabeth Levingston, daughter; Jacob Knage & Susanna his wife late Susanna Levingston, dau.; Catherine Levingston & Mary Levingston, dau.; & Henry Levingston, Andrew Levingston & Ann Levingston, minor chldn, by their guardian, Jacob Yoder. The petition described Christian's landholdings, & asked that they be divided among the heirs or sold at auction. Among those chosen by the petitioners to examine the land were John & Christian Spangler, their stepbrothers. All 4 tracts of land were eventually awarded to David Levingston, & he paid the other heirs their shares; the last payment being made in 1808. On 14 June 1806, David sold all 4 tracts to his brother-in-law, Christian Royer. Christian Royer sold the entire parcel of land to John Wells in 1813, before removing to OH. Washington Co., Maryland, Deed Book H-8, p. 276 Recorded 31 May 1793 at the request of Michael Barkman Indenture dated 1 Apr 1793 between Christian Spangler & Christian Levistone & Ann Levistone his wife all of Bedford Co., PA (now Somerset) & Michael Barkman, Washington Co., MD. Consideration: 250 pounds of current money of MD "all that entire tract of land called Storm lying on Potowmack River, Washington Co., MD, containing 104 ac.s Witnesses: Thos Beal of Saml., P Sullivan "Christian Spengler" & "Christian Levenstein" both signed in old German script; Ann Levistone (here erroneously called Christina) signed with an "X" 1 Apr 1793, Allegany Co. came the within named Christian Spangler & Christian Levistone & acknowleged the deed; also came Ann Levistone w/o Christian Levistone & Eve Spangler w/o Christian Spangler & released their right of dower in the said land.
[NI065591] Christian & Elizabeth res. with Anna Levingston, Somerset Co., & later purchased Christian Levingston's property in its entirety. Abt 1812/1813, Christian & Elizabeth Royer moved to Tuscarawas Co., OH. The widowed Anna Livingston may have made the journey with them.
[NI065593] Elias & Catherine removed to Stark Co., OH after their m. Her mother later joined them in OH 1813 & res. with them until her d. 1828. Both Catherine & Elias are bur. Freeburg Ch. of the Breth. Cem.
[NI065594] Mary m. John Kopp PA. "John Capp" 1st appears on the Somerset Co., tax assessments 1806 Somerset Twp., with 60 acres, 1 horse, 2 cows & a cabin. He continues on the lists with the same property through 1810; 1811 list he has only his horse & 2 cows. A Peter Capp in the same Twp has what appears to be John's 60 acres & cabin in this yr; apparently John sold the acreage to Peter (probably his father or bro.). John is enumerated 1810 census for Somerset Twp. with 1 male 26-45, 4 males under 10, 1 female 26-45, & 1 female under 10. Since John & Mary m. 1807, she would have been his 2nd wife. 2 male chldn which appear on a later census, when Mary is the w/o John Messimore cannot be accounted for as Messimore chldn, & were possibly Mary's sons by John Kopp. Only 1 son of John Kopp & Mary is known. A Deed between David Levingston & his sib.s recorded 28 Apr 1814 contains the following reference: "this 2 May 1807 David Levenston has pd his sis. Mary Levenstonen pd in full the part of her portion of the ____? signed by Johannes Kopp." Although still referred to by her maiden name, she & John would have been already m. at this time. Another document of this type shows both of her m. sis.s, Elizabeth & Susanna referred to by their maiden names. John Kopp is not listed on the tax list after 1811. According to "Francis Shaw & Relatives," published 1921, Mary's former hus., whose name was not given therein, d. of wounds received War of 1812. The author of the above was living in the mid to late 1800s & was personally acquainted with many members of the Messimore family. 12 Nov 1815, Stark Co., OH, Mary Cope & John "Massimore" were m. by Michael Miller, A German Bapt. Minister. John Messimore b. 3 Dec 1791 York Co., Pa., s/o John & Catherine (Derwechter) Messimore. John was 5 yrs younger than his new wife. John & Mary settled in West Twp., Columbiana Co., near John's mother & sib.s. John was a prosperous farmer, who owned real estate which was valued at $1600 on 1850 census. According to "Francis Shaw & Relatives," the 1st home of the family was a log cabin; later they built a frame house. Both d. in the frame house; Mary in 1859 & John 2 Jul 1874. They are bur. Plains Ch. Cem. The family farm was left to John & Mary's unmarried dau.s, Anna & Lucinda. A 3rd unmarried dau., Mary, was listed on the 1860 census as "insane," & was later committed to an institution. In addition to their own chldn, John & Mary raised their gdau. Lydia Messimore, d/o their deceased son David.
[NI065595] 1802, Anna Livingston applied for a guardian for her 3 minor chldn under the age 14; Henry was the 1 of those named. Jacob Yoder was appointed for all of the chldn. On the 2nd Mon. Sep 1805, Henry Livingston came into court & said he was above 14 yrs & requested John Spangler (his half-brother) be appointed as his guardian. Henry had probably turned 15 shortly beforehand, & therefore b. late 1790. (He is probably not 1 of the males accounted for in the Christian Livingston household in 1790; besides the father, the household probably contained son David & stepson Abraham Spangler). Henry apparently m. PA, as OH keeps very good m. records, & none has been located for him. Henry d. before Apr 1831, when his son, Jesse Livingston applied for a guardian. Since Henry had only 1 chld, he probably d. shortly after his son's b. 1816. Henry's bro. David Livingston had a son Henry, b. 1817, possibly given that name in memory of his bro. Henry's wife may be the Elizabeth Levenstein who married Henry Rafesnider, Stark Co. 1837 as his 2nd wife. Henry Levingston's son Jesse chose Henry Klippard, Osnaburg as his guardian, & 1850, Henry Klippard's dau, Frances was living with Henry & Elizabeth (Levenstein) Rafesnider.
[NI065596] Andrew res. Stark Co., until abt 1816, when he removed to Wayne Twp., Wayne Co., OH. The will of Andrew's former father-in-law, George Mackentarfer, proved 1817, was worded in such a way as to indicate that Andrew & Christina had at least 2 chldn, 1 of which was male. 1820 census Wayne Twp., Wayne Co., OH shows Andrew with 1 male & 1 female under 10. Since he had just m. Sarah Deweese, these must be chldn by his former wife. 1827, a James McFadden was appointed guardian for a Sarah & Charles Livingston in Wayne Co., this apparently being for the legacy they were to receive from their maternal gfather. Numerous land transactions are recorded for Andrew in both Stark & Wayne Co.s (including 1 contracted with the above James McFadden), the last being a purchase from George Bair in 1823. Andrew attended his mother's estate sale Dec 1828 & purchased the following items: 1 spinning wheel, 2 pillows, 2 & 3/4 yards of flax linen, 1 & 1/2 yards of flax linen, 1 pair of mittens, knitting needles, yarn & flax, 3 handkerchiefs, thread, 2 bottles, 1 towel, 1 spoon & tin cup, 1 sugar box & 1 chest. The total of his purchases came to $6.01. Andrew is not found 1830 census for OH, but was living as late as 1833, when he was paid the balance owing him from his mother's estate. I have been unable to determine what became of him after that; a search of census indices for about a dozen western states in 1850 has yielded no Andrew or Sarah Livingstons which match.
[NI065597] Anne & Jacob res. Nimishillan Twp., Stark Co., OH. 1820 census of his family shows 1 male 26-45, 1 female 16-26, & 1 female under 10. 1830 census we find 1 male 30-40, 1 male 20-30, 2 males under 10 & 1 female 30-40. Anny Backman is enumerated in 1840 with 1 female 40-50, 1 male 10-15, & 1 male 5-10. Anne apparently d. before 1850. Neither she nor any of her chldn appear on the 1850 census, but her 2 younger sons are found in 1860. Jacob Baughman was the administrator of his mother-in-law's estate, but did not long survive her, dying early in 1831, & the balance due Anna Livingston's heirs was pd out of his estate. Jacob's personal estate amounted to $1525.83, a considerable sum at that time.
[NI065598] David 1st appears as a single freeman in Somerset Twp. 1800. 1803, he purchased 11 1/2 acres of land in Stoneycreek Twp. from Frederick Helm for $118. He sold this same tract to his half-bro. John Spangler 9 yrs later for $300. 1822, David purchased about 200 acres of land from Valentine Mishler, situated in Conemaugh Twp. David res. on this land until his death, & his widow continued to farm it until it was sold to their son Samuel in 1846. David's father-in-law, Jacob Reed, d. 1815, & the widowed Regina Reed made her home with David & Barbara. She d. 9 Apr 1846, age 89, & is bur. in the Livingston Farm Cem. David d. intestate 1826. His administrator was Joseph Yoder. David's personal estate was appraised at $436.39 & included some of the following items: 1 Bible, 2 Testaments, 1 hymn book, 8 other books, a windmill, 2 beds, 1 feather bed, 1 stool, a stove with an 18 foot pipe, a clock in a case, a wagon, 1 plow, 1 shovel plow, 1 sled, 1 man's saddle, several sets of harness, several halters & bridles, 5 cows, 2 milch cows, 1 grey mare, 1 grey "nag" (worth $7.00), 1 roan filly, 3 oxen, 6 sheep, 8 pigs, 11 acres of wheat seed, 6 acres of corn seed at $2.75 per acre, 1 acre of corn, 8 acres of oats at $1.50 per acre, 13 plates, 14 pewter plates, 4 meat plates, various pots of clay, iron & stone, 1 coffee mill, 1 flour box, 1 kneading trough, 1 stone chest, 3 casks, 1 wash tub, 1 watering can, several stands & baskets, 1 sausage chopper, a sausage casing, candle molds, 1 salt barrel, 1 cooking pan, 1 frying pan, 1 butter churn, 1 coffeepot, 1 kraut cutter, several beehives, 1 wheelbarrow, 2 hand saws, 4 axes, 1 hatchet, 3 hammers, 2 wedges, 4 planes, 1 smoothing plane, 1 rabbet plane, several augers & chisels, a miter box, a set of cooper's tool, a joiner's bench & a chopping bench, some spruce & walnut boards, 2 spinning wheels, 1 husking machine, 1 swingling mill, 1 flax break, 2 groping hoes, 1 pitchfork, 1 dung fork, 1 shovel, 2 hoes, 2 scythes, 3 sickles, 1 compass, 1 12 gallon kettle, 1 10 gallon kettle, 1 15 gallon kettle, 1 8 gallon kettle, 1 10 gallon cask, & "18 gallons of whiskey found by accountant at the vendue." Judging from the contents of his inventory, David was probably a cooper & a carpenter in addition to being a farmer. David's land (200 acres in Conemaugh) remained in the possession of the widow until all of the chldn were of age; it was then purchased by his son Samuel 6 Apr 1846, with the widow's dower being set aside for her. She d. the same mo. Both David & his wife are bur. the Livingston farm cem. on this acreage, along with his mother-in-law, sis-in- law Magdalena Reed, & his sons John, Samuel, & Tobias & their wives.
