| I am researching the following surnames as of 2/08/1998: KIEFER, BALL, CLAYPOOLE, KRIEG, SENEFF, VAN NISE, PULLIAM, KRAGENBUHL, KRETZER and many others. KIEFER: Earliest known ancestor was Anton KIEFER, b: Pfaffenweiler, Baden, Germany March 6, 1822. Emigrated to New Orleans on the VAUCLUSE on 25 April 1854, naturalized in Dubois County, Indiana in 1856. Moved to Washington, Indiana with his family in 1867. BALL: Ball family has been traced back to Edward Ball, b: abt. 1670 in England. This Ball line married into the Claypoole line from England that is descended from the Plantagenet line. Currently, we are looking for the maiden name of James Claypoole's wife (James was born May 1744 in Virginia and died abt. 1822 in Muskingum County, Ohio. His will names his wife as "Libbe") KRIEG: Earliest known ancestor Hans KRIEG, b: 6/25/1790, Bern, Switzerland. Married Anna Barbara KRAGENBUHL 9/13/1816 in Munsinga, Switzerland, 2nd marriage to Kathrina KRAGENBUHL in Berne, Switzerland. Son Felix D. KRIEG b: 4/19/1833 near Dover, Ohio. Married Kathrine KRETZER, 7/10/1865 in Tuscarawas, Ohio. Son George Martin KRIEG b: 7/11/1861, near Dover, Tuscarawas, Ohio, Married Carra Susanna SENEFF on 10/05/1885. Son: Floyd Martin KRIEG, Sr, b: 1887, d: 1958. Floyd married Amah Dot BALL, June 26, 1912, Indianapolis, Indiana. Anecdotal stories indicate that this branch of the KRIEG line is from Switzerland through Pennsylvania, to Indiana. If anyone is researching the above lines, I will be glad to share additional information! Additionally, all persons in the above lines are invited to contact. Also, much more information is on my web page. |
