Frederick Oberlin c1775
(1) Frederick Oberlin, son of John Adam and Mary Margaret (Ensminger) Oberlin was born about 1775 in Cocalico Twp., Lancaster County, PA.He was married to Maria (last name unknown) and with his parents he moved to Cumberland County, PA around 1800, and then to Stark County, Ohio in 1812.He died in Stark County, 1828.I’ve been through his probate files.
(2) Frederick Oberlin, son of John Adam and Margaret (Stober) Oberlin was born 13 Jan 1775, in Schaefferstown, Lancaster County, PA.He married Maria Schaeffer and lived his entire life in Schaefferstown.He’s buried there with his wife and parents.I’ve been to the cemetery.
There is considerable confusion between these two Fredericks.A.S. Brendle has documented much of Schaefferstown in his book, but little has been recorded of (1) Frederick, likely because he moved twice.
Does anyone have any information about (1) Frederick?I’m particularly interested in birth and marriage records.
