Purpose

A variety of deeds and probate/wills show that Margaret _____ married (1) Daniel Sleppy'Slippy--see Daniel Schleppi (1755-abt.1799), who died before 22 August 17[9]9 (letters issued); married (2) after 1800 (she was Margaret Slippy in that year's census), Henry Kephart, who died between 19 May 1806 (date of will) and 7 July 1806 (will proved); and (3) shortly after 18 July 1809 (date of prenuptial) Ludwig Kimmerling (-bef.1819).

While Margaret's various married names have been memorialized, reliable sources are sought to confirm her last name at birth.

The probate files/wills are summarized on this page. Some deeds are also listed here, but most of that detail is found on Kimmerling Land Research.

Identity as Margaret Theobald, born 1766

The 1845 will and 1847 codicil of Margaret Kemmerling of Frankstown Township, both sworn 2 July 1847,[1][2] prove sufficiently that she is the woman buried there, Geeseytown Cemetery, whose gravestone reports her death 28 June 1847, aged "81 years and 6 months."[3] The will names her surviving children (below), known to have been Margaret's children by her marriage to either Daniel Sleppy/Slippy[4][5] or Henry Kephart,[6] thus the testatrix, Margaret Kemmerling, can hardly be anyone other than the woman who married (1) Daniel Slippy, (2) Henry Kephart, and (3) Ludwig Kimmerling.

  • Daniel Slippy of the State of Ohio
  • Abram Slippy
  • Peter Slippy
  • Isaac Slippy
  • Elizabeth Closson, formerly Slippy, widow of Alexander Clossen.
  • Catherine [otherwise Catherine Kephart], married to Henry Clapper

Her further identity as Margaret Elizabeth, born Northampton County, Pennsylvania, 30 December 1766, baptized Hecktown, 5 June 1767, daughter of John and Anna Christine Theobald[7] (aka Dewalt) is subject to a conflict found in John Theobald's 28 December 1810 will.[8] On that date, the woman who died in 1847 would have been Margaret Kemmerling, but John's will refers to this daughter Margaret as the wife of "Daniel Schlepy."

Mitigating that conflict, however, John Theobald's will reports his daughter Barbara was married to "Philip Christian," and one by that name was co-administrator on the estate of Margaret's first husband, Daniel Slippy.[9]

Despite that John Theobald's will memorialized only her first marriage, it is more likely that Margaret, the wife of Daniel Sleppy, Henry Kephart and Ludwig Kimmerling was John's daughter, than it is to assume there were two women then of Central Pennsylvania, both named Margaret, born about the same time, who married different men named Daniel Schlepy/Sleppy.

As with all genealogical findings, our work is subject to review and revision, based on improved discovery and enhanced analysis.

  • Church records, ala.
    • Baptismal Records. Church records have not been reviewed. But a few of such records are known as index only (database/IGI) records, none of which memorialized sponsor's names.
    • Marriage records, generally.
    • Death/burial records.
  • More complete administrator accounting, especially about Daniel Sleppy.
  • Justification for why so many family researchers report 5 March 1835 as the death of Margaret, the daughter of Johanne/John Theobald/Dewalt
  • Any census record known to be about Henry Kephart.
  • Historical records referring to John Theobald by the last name at birth "Dewalt."
  • Margaret 1820 census; Frankstown Township, Huntingdon County begins here.
  • Margaret in 1830 and 1840 census -- she is possibly counted in the Henry Clapper household at 1830, but doesn't seem to be there at 1840.
