Message Board Post:
Hello all,
I am looking for information on a Jacob Presler. He was born around 1816 in Ohio
(according to census records). At some point he moved to Huntington Co., Indiana, because
in 1841 he married Christine Waggoner. The first time I see him in census records is in
the 1850 census for District 52 (page 99 listed as Jacob Prester). He is listed in the
census records afterwards in Lancaster Twp., Huntington Co., Indiana.
What I am looking for is any information that might lead me to where in Ohio he was born
and ultimately who his parents are. I am also very interested in who Christine
Waggoner's parents are. I've seen burials for their children that did young, but
I've not been able to find where they were buried.
My line is such:
Winfield Scott Pressler b. 1894 in Huntington
Joseph C. Pressler b. 1857
Jacob Presler b. 1816
I am located in Colorado, not too far from the cemetery where another Pressler man born
there in Huntington Co., IN. His name is James K.P. Pressler. He was the son of Samuel
Presler, who I believe MAY be the brother or cousin of my Jacob Presler.
I hope that someone can help me or give me some advice to get past my brick wall I have
with Jacob Presler.
Thanks much everyone and have a great day!
