Barbara Ashabranner [a.1755-b.1806]

>>> Barbara Ashabranner is the daughter of Urban Aschenbrenner and Anna Maria Balty. Born after 1755 probably in York Co., PA. Barbara married Jacob Brilhart, the son of Jacob Brilhart, and may have had as many as 7 children by him.

>>> Jacob and Barbara appeared to have about 7 children. Jacob, jr., was born sometime between 1774 and 1791. On 31 January 1806, Jacob, jr., married Catharine Lingerfelt in Lincoln Co., NC, and appeared to have moved to Jackson Co., Illinois soon afterwards. It is believed that he may have went to Pennsylvania and enlisted as an American soldier serving during the War of 1812. On 13 Apr 1816, he received a land warrent for 16,000 acres. It is unclear who the other children were at this time.

• This book lists a span of generations into the Brilhart family, but does not detail any of the marriages important to differentiating Jacob Brilhart from generation to generation. Further investigation is required to confirm this thought.

• This posting deserves further exploration, but at this time it supports the idea that the Jacob Brilhart who settled in Illinois is the son of the Jacob Brilhart who settled in North Carolina. More documentation is needed to confirm this thought.
