Hi:
In 1850, Jacob B. Funk, born about 1811, was a farmer in Clay Township, Kosciusko
County with real estate worth $1,800. He was 39 years old. He and Catherine were married
in Ohio in about 1840. With George Gall, he was joint administrator of the estate of his
wife's father in Stark County, Ohio. Date of birth calculated from his tombstone was
04 December, 1809.
There were three children in the Funck household in 1850: Sylvanus, James, and
Delila. There were two other Funk households in Clay Township in 1850, living side by
side. The first was headed by Jacob Funck the elder, a 65 year old farmer born in
Maryland. The second was headed by George Funk, a 25 year old farmer born in Ohio. The
elder Jacob was widowed, with seven children still at home.
An individual International Genealogical Index Record on Family Search identified a
Jacob B. Funk born 02 Aug 1811 in Stark County Ohio as the son of Jacob Funk, senior.
Jacob Funck Senior was also living in Kosciusko County in 1960.
The FamilySearch record identified the wife of Jacob senior as Mary Bowers. On
Gencircles.Com, I found record of a man who may have been Jacob Funk Senior, born 08 May
1785 in Lancaster County PA [not Maryland]. His father was also Jacob Funk, and his mother
was Elizabeth Musser.
I have lots of information about descendants of Jacob and Catherine Funk. They had
seven children.
