William Spunaugle - Descendants, Second Generation


William Spunaugle's eleven children who grew to adulthood had many children of their own.  We know of at least 75 grandchildren.  Here they are, with their parents, in the "second generation", with individual numbering continued from the first generation:
 

Generation No. 2

2.  CATHERINE2 SPONAUGLE (WILLIAM1, BALSOR) was born September 19, 1834 in Randolph or Pendleton County VA, and died October 23, 1868 in Elkhart, Indiana.  She married JEREMIAH SAMPSEL ANAWALT 1856 in Lewis County, VA, son of JACOB ANAWALT and ANNA SUTTER.  He was born October 29, 1835 in Berlin, Somerset, PA, and died October 29, 1915 in Okmulgee, OK.

Note:  Catherine's descendant, Ilene Hawkins, kindly furnished information on this family; much of it has been confirmed or supplemented by census records and from family Bible images from Marrion Newberry.  Catherine and her husband were living in Jackson County MO on the 1860 census, but for some reason they moved to Indiana during the Civil War.

Children of CATHERINE SPONAUGLE and JEREMIAH ANAWALT are:
12.  i. WILLIAM JACOB3 ANAWALT, b. July 31, 1857.

3.  MARIA2SPONAUGLE (WILLIAM1, BALSOR) was born June 06, 1837 in Randolph County, VA, and died May 30, 1925 in Clarinda, Page Co., Iowa.  She married DAVID E.

Note:  Information on the Vliet family comes from Census records and from the Abstracted Newspaper Indexes of Taylor and Page Counties (ANI) posted by Pat O'Dell, as well as from the written recollections of Ralph and Philip Spunaugle.

15. iii. JOHN VLIET, b. February 27, 1862, Macomb, McDonough, IL; d. November 15, 1930, Clarinda, Page Co., Iowa.

Note: Census records do not agree on whether Anna Vliet or John Vliet was born first.  The Census of 1880 says Anna is older than John, but 1870 says John is older than Anna.  There is some question about another possible daughter, named "Adie" born in the 1870's, not confirmed.
