Looking for parents of Daniel and Mary Noffsinger (Notsinger,
Naufsinger) Spangler. After Daniel died in 1787 in Franklin County, VA
Mary moved in 1792 to the Pine Creek Area of Floyd County (which was
Montgomery County at that time) when her son Daniel, Jr. purchased the
Spangler Mill. Several sources
show that Daniel Spangler’s parents were Hans Jacob and Elizabeth
Stophell Spengler. I have not been able to validate this with original
documentation. I believe Daniel’s father name was Jacob. This is from
verbal family tradition. I never heard anyone mention Daniel’s mother
name. Hans Jacob Spengler’s will seems to disprove that he and Elizabeth

were Daniel’s parents. Hans Jacob’s will reads as follows:

February the 5th Anno Domini 1756 Jacob Spengler of Allsace Township and

County of Berks hath made his last Will and faith in the Presence of the

subscribing Wittness, as followeth--That his only son George Christopher

Spengler who helped ........ (portion missing)..... be it what
nomination it will ...... and Personal. Except only that the Heir shall
give unto his Mother Elisabeth Spengler for her suport during her Life
Yearly (in case she does not dwell with him) 14 Bushels of Wheat, 50
Pounds of Pork, 20 of Beef, 40 shillings in currancy and the .... of
cows but he shall keep said cows at his own charge.

The Things above said George Christian Spengler shall give unto his
Mother Elisabeth Spengler for her maintenance and further that my son
shall give one cow and calf unto my Deceased Daughter’s Child Elizabeth
Wise (?) by name and that wqhen she is married. which I myself signed by

my own hand before Witness.

1756 February 18. Then Christopher Wilman of Reading appeared by solomn
Oath did declare the above writing to be a faithful translation (by him
made according to his ability) of an original Writing in German
exhibited to me and by me delivered to him to translate purporting to be

the last will of Jacob Spengler.

I have have seen hand written notations on some old papers that Daniel
and John Spangler came to what is now Floyd Co., VA from York County,
PA. I suspect they were refering to Daniel and Mary's sons Daniel and
John but am not sure.

I have a document which was prepared for the 1916 Spangler reunion at
the Pine Creek Church which says Daniel and Mary came from Germany.
(Also have a good photo made at the reunion.)

Any information on Daniel, Sr. or Mary Noffsinger Spangler's parents and

descendants would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
