Johannes Schimpf, 1730-1798 (9 May 1798-S2)
M1 Elizabeth Weikert, -1837 (28 Apr 1837-S2)
[I found the following in source #3 page 129 1/2: "On the 9th of May 1798, Joseph Staut & George Hitschner were elected in place of Johannes Schimpf and Jacob Fries, Junr who had passed away." This verifies that Johannes died before 9 May 1798]

Marriage date: "16 Oct 1755 at St Michael's and Zion Church, located at 5th Street and Appletree Lane, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania." (Source #2)

Source for family:
History of St Jospeh Co, Indiana, 1907, page 1089-1090
The following article is from the book: "A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana", by Timothy Edward Howard, 1907, page 1089-1090. Jacob Shimp was a native son of New Jersey, born on the 16th of June, 1812. His father died when he was a young man, and when eleven years of age he went with his widowed mother to Warren county, Ohio, there residing and continuing to care for her until her death. He came to Indiana in 1833, and his death occurred on the 19th of March, 1901, at which time the following memorial of his life appeared in one of the local papers: "Jacob Shimp, the last Jackson voter in St. Joseph county, died at 4:30 Tuesday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Cyrus B. Miller at the corner of Monroe and Franklin streets, his death being painless, having been unconscious about a day. His death was due to a general breaking down of the system, but his last illness lasted but two days. Mr. Shimp would have been eighty-nine years old June 16, and he had resided in this county sixty-eight years. He bore his years remarkably well and retained his faculties to a remarkable degree. The deceased was a Mason, and was buried under the auspices of the Terre Coupee Lodge, No. 204, of New Carlisle, the services being held at the New Carlisle Christian church. "The deceased had long been a familiar figure in this city and county, and was a citizen of most excellent repute and a Democrat of unwavering integrity. His death took the last Jackson voter from St. Joseph county. Few men were prouder of a deed that was the deceased in the fact that he had voted once for Old Hickory. Mr. Shimp was a Jacksonian. He was one of ten children born to Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Shimp, both of whom were natives of New Jersey. Andrew Shimp was born in New Jersey, February 18, 1767, and when quite a young man married Margaret Wendyell, who was boron November 12, 1771. Their children were: Susan, born August 1, 1782; Hannah, December 20, 1794; Anna, September 12, 1797; David, February 10, 1800; Elizabeth, April 8, 1802; Sarah, April 6, 1803; Samuel, October 18, 1805; Andrew, May 27, 1810; Jacob, June 16, 1811; and John, May 28, 1817." "Jacob, the ninth child, was born in Salem county, New Jersey, but removed with his parents to Ohio in 1825, settling in Warren county, one of the old Abolition and Republican strongholds of that state. He lived there until 1833, when he removed to St. Joseph county, where he has since resided. Jacob's grandfather and grandmother were natives of Germany. His father was a prosperous farmer until the era of depreciated continental money came upon him, causing him to lose the farm which he had worked hard to develop. In 1838 Jacob married Ann Druliner, who died in 1840. Two years later he took for his second wife Hannah Graham, of Warren county, Ohio, who died March 15, 1889. To them seven children were born, and all but two survive. The survivors are: Mrs. Lewis Kirby, Of Warren county, Ohio; Mrs. Cyrus B. Miller of this city; ex-Trustee John M. Shimp of Harris township; ex-County Recorder William D. Shimp of this city; and Mrs. Joseph Burden of Olive township." "The entire Shimp family, beginning with Andrew, the father of Jacob, have been Democrats to the backbone. The woman have been as loyal and enthusiastic as the men and would gladly have voted had the law allowed. Jacob Shimp cast his first vote for Andrew Jackson, in 1832, and had voted the straight Democratic ticket ever since until the last when he was too ill to go to the polls. He took great pride in his long record of unswerving allegiance to the Democratic party and in the fact that his sons tread in the same path. One of the latter, William D., has served as recorder of St. Joseph county and is a leading citizen of South Bend." Throughout the long period of his residence in St. Joseph county, Mr. Shimp was ever true to the trusts reposed in him. He commanded the respect of all by his upright life, and engraved his name indelibly on the pages of the county's history.

I have been able to find quite a bit of info about the Stackhouses online. It has been very helpful in connecting families. I have tried to verify all info through Census records and other govt records. If something hasn't been verified I will state so.
I can only find Archer on the 1850 census. I found online that his name was Archibald (Archer) Stackhouse. I have searched for Archibald Stackhouse, Archer Stackhouse and just Stackhouse as a last name on Census records and can't find anything other than the 1850 Census. If someone has info or finds info on Archer I would love to know about it. I found online that he died in 1858 which explains why I cant find him on later censuses with his family.
I have found Charlotte on the 1850 and 1860 Census. I cannot find her on any census records past 1860. She may have died between 1860 and 1870 but I don't know for sure.
I can only find Caleb on the 1860 and 1870 censuses. I can only find Mary S on the 1860 census.

1850 Census:
Archer Stackhouse, 36, Blacksmith, New Jersey (birthplace)
Charlotte Stackhouse, 33, --, New Jersey
Samuel or Daniel Stackhouse, 2, -- New Jersey
Josiah McWilliams, 20, Blacksmith, 350 (value of real estate), New Jersey
Interesting Fact: The census does not list any real estate for Archer or Charlotte so they must have rented. Josiah is shown as owning real estate. ??
More research needed:Samuel is not shown on any later censuses with the family. However, if Archer died in 1858, Samuel may have been working somewhere by the 1860 census. He would have been 12 in 1860. I have found several Samuel Stackhouses on census records but need to do more research before I can say what happened to Samuel.

1860 Census:
Charlotte Stackhouse, 44 years, 1816 (birthdate), New Jersey (birthplace)
Caleb Stackhouse, 10 years, 1850, New Jersey
William F Stackhouse, 7 years, 1853, New Jersey
James S Stackhouse, 4 years, 1856, New Jersey
Mary S Stackhouse, 1 year, 1859, New Jersey
More research needed: I found several of the children on future censuses.

1870 Census:
Isaac Harris, 67 years, farmer
Sarah Harris, 50 years, keeping house
Caleb Stackhouse, 20 years, laborer
James S Stackhouse, 14 years, farm hand
Elizabeth Miller, 20 years, at home

More research needed:
I found information online about Archer and Charlotte. I have not verified any of the information but need to. Archibald was born 8/10/1814 and died 4/1858. He was a blacksmith in Harmersville, Salem, NJ. He married Charlotte Harris.
Archibald's parents were Caleb Stackhouse and Mary Sayre.
Their children were:
Abbott, Joseph, Rachel, Archibald, Elizabeth and Mary.
I was able to find Caleb, Mary and Abbott on the 1850 census.
The website that I found this info on is focusing on the Sayre line.
I have also found info/book on the sayres on usgenweb. Click here to see the book.

Samuel Kline Shimp - 1870

UPDATED 9/14/11

Samuel Kline Shimp, Aug 23, 1870 - Nov 24, 1939
M1 Mary (Mollie) Newkirk, Dec 20, 1871 - Feb 28, 1905
M2 Sarah Ashton Shimp, Jan 6, 1886 - Nov 25, 1919
[interesting note: Sarah's maiden name was Shimp but it is thought that she was not of close relation. Eventually I hope to find where her line crosses Samuel Kline's.
UPDATE: I have traced Sarah's line back to where it meets Samuel's. Sarah's line goes back to Philip II (born 1735) who was the brother of Johannes! I believe Johannes and Philip were close as they lived in the same area and were godparents for each others children and grandchildren. I will post all that I have found on Sarah's family soon.]

Richard's parents are Charles Moncrief and Harriet.

I am trying to find out what Rose's maiden name was. Family search has it listed as Rosa Barberi. I have found a
Rosa May Barber in the 1880 census in Pennsylvania but I dont believe it is her because it shows that her parents were born in Penn and Rose Moncrief parents were born in Italy.
