The Larry Deal family of Washington State

The earliest Deal ancestor we have found is Jacob Deal/Diehl (1765-1842)who moved his family from Pennslyvania to Montgomery County, Ohio in 1806. There he worked as a carpenter and farmed land adjacent to Isaac Miller with his family: Elizabeth (Shipley, his wife); his sons John (married Susannah Miller), Abraham (married Elizabeth Berkshire), and Jacob (my line, married Barbara Overholser);and his daughters Nancy "Mary" (married Jacob Overholser, Jacob Kuns), Elizabeth (married John Hepner), and Rosannah (married Peter Heistand). I have not been able to find any information about the family in Pennslyvania, but some sources suggest he came from Bedford County. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
