Jacob Switzer was born January 4, 1788 in Pennsylvania and died November 2, 1859 in Columbiana County, Ohio. He was married to Catherine “Caty” Brinker on February 26, 1811 in Columbiana County (v1 p95).
Catherine Brinker was born June 18, 1787 in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania and died March 6, 1852 (ae 64y 8m 24d) in Columbiana County, Ohio. Her birth name was Anna Catherina and she was the daughter of Andrew and Barbara (Lederman/Leatherman) Brinker.
On March 10, 1853 – slightly more than a year after the death of Catherine – Jacob Switzer and Leathy Bricker were legally joined in marriage (v38 p168). Leathy died January 17, 1869 ae 79y 11m 25d (birth calculates to January 23, 1789).
All three - Jacob, Catherine, and Leathy - are buried in the English Lutheran Cemetery in Salem Township, Columbiana County, Ohio.
We already know, from the final account of his estate, that Jacob and Catherine (Brinker) Switzer had at least four daughters. Census records (discussed in the first post mentioned above) indicate that there may have been another daughter, and indeed another was found.
A daughter, Sarah, died May 1, 1842 ae 18y 8m 27d (birth calculates to August 4, 1823) Sarah is buried in the St. Jacob's Cemetery in Salem Township just two graves away from her grandparents Andrew and Barbara Brinker.
The four daughters were not explicitly named in the final account. However, their husbands were - Jacob Yarian, Jacob Manaweck, Peter Buchecker, and D. Deemer (identified as Daniel in other records of the estate).
Columbiana County records show the following marriages, with some very mangled spellings:
- Elizabeth Switzer to Jacob Yarian on April 2, 1835 (v3 p48)
- Barbara Switzer to Jacob Manaway on February 1, 1838 (v3 p173)
- Rebecca Switzer to Peter Buckuker on February 27, 1838 (v3 p181)
- Susan Switzer was married to Daniel Denut on March 5, 1845 (v3 p405)
There were some very creative spellings for these surnames in the census records! So much so that I'm not sure of the “correct” spelling for two of the surnames: Manaweck, Monaweak, Momweck, Minawick (indexed as Minarick), Monawick, Monaueck, and Manaway. Then there was Buchecker, Buckhecker, Buchaker, Buckuker, Buhecker, Buchater, Bucheder, Bubecker, Brickecker, and Boohecker. I'm not making these up, really.

Elizabeth Switzer was born September 24, 1815 in Columbiana County, Ohio and died July 8, 1894 in Portage County, Ohio. Her husband, Jacob Yarian, was born December 24, 1812 in Columbiana County and died March 26, 1895 in Elkhart County, Indiana at the home of their eldest child, Susanna Walker. Jacob was the son of Conrad and Eva (Rupert) Yarian. Elizabeth and Jacob Yarian are buried in Randolph Hillside Cemetery, Portage County, Ohio.
Jacob and Elizabeth Yarian lived in Unity Township, Columbiana County and were enumerated there in the 1820 and 1830 census records. They moved to Portage County, Ohio sometime before May 25, 1839 when their 3rd child was born there.
Census records from 1840 through 1880 show that Jacob and Elizabeth resided in Randolph Township, Portage County, Ohio where they lived for the remainder of their lives. Well, at least Elizabeth did. Jacob went to live with their daughter, Susanna Walker, in October 1894 and remained there until his death five months later.
Since Jacob and Elizabeth Yarian are my 3rd great grandparents, future posts (someday!) will provide additional information on them and their 11 children: Susanna Walker (1836-1925), Jonathan (1837-1918), Eli (1839-1895), Benjamin (1842-1911), David (1844-1929), Jacob Jr. (1846-1913), Daniel (1847-1849), Mary Catherine (1850-1911), Eva Ada (1852-1912), and Rebecca (1856-1941).
The four oldest children (Susanna, Jonathan, Eli, and Benjamin) all moved to Locke and Union Townships, near present-day Nappanee, in southern Elkhart County, Indiana. The other children who survived into adulthood remained in Ohio although in different areas. The four oldest sons (Jonathan, Eli, Benjamin, and David) all served during the Civil War. Eli Yarian and his wife, Lovina Berlin, are my 2nd great grandparents.

More research definitely needs to be done on these other three families as all I have thus far are their census records. I don't have death records or obituaries yet. I have not yet looked for any records on their children. Now that I'm back on the road traveling I don't have much internet time for research and I'm still working through the other stuff I found in Salt Lake City and in Ohio. I'll get back to these families again, sometime. I might even do some on-site research on the Monaweck (or whatever their name is) family when I return to Indiana. Someday.
Rather than attempt to create family groupings (i.e. determine who is a child and who isn't), I'm just going to present the information that I currently have on these families from the census records and Ohio Death Records. If anyone is related to these families or doing research on them, please contact me at kinexxions@gmail.com

Barbara Switzer was probably born in 1813 or 1814 (she was 36 in the 1850 census, 45 in 1860, and 58 in 1870) in Columbiana County, Ohio. Her husband, Jacob Manaweck, was probably born about 1815 (he was 35 in the 1850 census, 45 in 1860, and 57 in 1870) in Germany.
Since Barbara and Jacob were married in 1838, they should be in the census records in 1840. However, I haven't found them there yet.

Rebecca Switzer was born about 1820 in Columbiana County, Ohio. Her husband, Peter Buchecker was born about 1816 in Pennsylvania. From the one online tree that I found on this family, it stated that Peter died May 18, 1882 and is buried in North Benton Cemetery, Mahoning County, Ohio.
Since Rebecca and Peter were married in 1838, they should be in the census records in 1840. However, I haven't found them there yet.

Susan Switzer was born about 1826 in Columbiana County, Ohio. Her husband, Daniel Deemer, was born about 1822 in Pennsylvania.

Note: Lewis, the older Catharine, and Israel are not children of Daniel and Susan - they were not married until 1845. My guess would be that they are nephews and a niece of Daniel and may even be related to Susan. The Ohio death record for Isreal J. Deemer (1838-1924) gives his parents as Phillip Deemer and Cathern Sweitzer!

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
