"47-HENRY FUNK JR. (of Henry #34) was born in Strasburg, Va. about 1753, married ELIZABETH MILLER, 12 July 1774 and died in Harrison County, Ind. 1 Nov. 1815. Elizabeth was born about 1752, and died 13 Sept. 1844. Children:
x (1) CATHERINE FUNK, b. 1775, m. George Kurtz, Hardin Co., KY
x (2) DANIEL FUNK, b. 1781, d. 1815. m. Rachel Denbo, Harrison Co.
x (3) JOHN FUNK, b. 1781 (twin), d. 1865. m. Rebecca Padget, Ind.
x (4) ELIZABETH FUNK, b. ? m. 1812, William Potter.
x (5) JOSEPH FUNK, b. ? d. ? m. Abigail Pearson, 1816.
x (6) ISAAC FUNK, b. ? m. Rachel Coates, 1816, Harrison Co. Ind.
x (7) PETER FUNK, b. ? m. Nancy Entace, 1814, Harrison Co. Ind.
x (8) HENRY FUNK JR. died 1818, unmarried.
Henry Funk served with Capt. Joseph Bowman's company of the George Rogers Clark expedition to the Northwest Territory in 1778-9 and later received land in Clark County, Ind. for his service. He never took up that land because he moved to Hardin County, Kentucky about 1790 and occupied land obtained by his father in Severns Valley near Elizabeth Town. In 1804 Henry and his family moved to Harrison County, Indiana and acquired land on the north side of Indian Creek, where it meets the Ohio River in Exeter, now Washington Township. His brother Jacob (#46) took land on the south side of the creek. Henry and his son Daniel died of malaria in 1815 and are buried on their homestead (Arville Funk, ibid.)."
According to the book, this Henry was the son of Henry FUNK (ca. 1726 - 1790). See my posting earlier today to this list titled "Henry FUNK (ca. 1726 - 1790) of Shenandoah Co., VA, and Frederick Co., MD". I am descended from John FUNK, brother to Henry FUNK (ca. 1726 - 1790).

The problem with Henry Funk was/is that there are so many of them. Unfortunately my Henry was married to another, Elizabeth Mueller from Woodstock, Va. Theeeerrrrrrrrrrrre is a lady in English, Indiana who is a decendant & researching Kemps. Sorry, but I lost her name. She was working for the Crawford Co. Historical Society I believe. Good hunting.

Frederick Co, Md. He married Catharina Traut around 1730-1740. Their
daughter was Anna Maria Funk that married Gabriel Kemp. Any
information on the Funk family in Md prior to 1770 would be helpful.
