Hello

I'm working on my Gingerich line. My paternal grandfather's grandfather
was

John S. Gingerich b 16 Oct 1819 Juniatta Co. PA
d. 17 Nov 1900 Pasadena, CA
m. 11 Feb 1845 to Elizabeth J. Wallis

He was a United Brethern preacher who went to Laurence Kansas about
1855. He also had connections in Fulton, Missouri (brothers and he
helped establish a church there).

I am looking for any information about him. and about his parents'

Father - John Gingerich b 12 May 1791 (poss. Lancaster Co.PA)
d 11 March 1850 Walker Twp.,
Juniata Co. PA
Married : Martha (MagdalenaJ) Cobb (Kopff)
b 24 Sept 1795 Lancaster Co ? PA
d 14 Oct 1865 Perry Co. PA Saville Twp.

Her parents were (Fairly sure about this)
Ludwig Kopff and Anna Maria May of Consetoga Twp.
Lancaster Co. PA
who were marrie 11 Dec. 1787 in the First Reformed
CHurch of Lancaster

Any information will be gratefully recieved. Thankyou

Barbara L. Rivas
