Some names in my tree: Umbarger/Umberger, Smith, Felver, Legacy, Caleo, Long, Hamilton, Davis, Crabtree, Dalton,Andrew, Ammon, Griffin, Baker, Davis

Some names in my husbands tree: Knight, Warwick, Wood, Stanley, James, Cross, Lowry
________________________________________________________________
Dead end: my g-grandfather, Samuel Lee Umbarger/Umberger. Raised around Morrison Tn. Warren/Coffee Co. born 3-5-1863/64.
Possibly in Morrison, TN, died: 12-19-1937 in Harlan Co Ky.
Married Beatrice Louise Rose on 10-19-1892 in Dayton TN, Beatrice was born:10-17-1876 Isoline Tn., died: 1-1-1938 Verda Ky., she was the daughter of John W. & Martha (Piffin) Rose.

My father, grandmother, and other relatives have always said that Samuel was orphaned & raised by Barbary Umbarger. In the 1870 Coffee Co. TN Census, in Barbara Umbargo's household, there was a Martha 24, possibly her daughter, who married John Crouch, also listed: her daughter Rebecca 12 (illegitimate child of Jesse Dixon Hulett), alos listed: my g-grandfather Samuel Lee age 6. Some have listed our Samuel Lee Umbarger as a child of Jesse Dixon Hulett also, but I believe this to be incorrect. In Barbara's household there was one other Samuel, Samuel Rufus that lived only 1 year I believe they are confusing her Samuel, with our Samuel that she raised for relatives. Samuel’s death certificate states that his father's name was ‘John’, born in Germany, and mother ‘not named’, also born Germany. Some Umbergers did immigrate to this country during the 1800's from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, though the first Umbergers came to this country about 1733. I don't know if parents were actually born in Germany, but they did speak German, Samuel's Bible was written in German. One census states his parents were born in Germany and one states they were born in TN, and we know how faulty census records can be. I have often wondered about other variations of Umbarger, such as Ambergy etc. In German, the A was not always closed, looking like an 'H' or 'U'. ______________________________________________________________
