I think your on the right track here with Christina Minesinger… One of my ancestors, John Minesinger, was (I suspect) a son of Joseph and Christina and had a sister Elsie. John was from Beaver/Washington Cty, PA area and moved to Henry Cty, IN between 1845-1850. I’ve been trying to find a death record for his mother Christina, but no luck so far. I believe she died after 1850 because she’s on a census with (probably another) daughter or daugher-in-law ‘Catherine’. She’s at least 78 on that 1850 Hanover,Beaver,PA census (pg35).

I am interested in your research on the Minesinger family. My ggg grandmother was Rosanna Minesinger, married to Samuel Barnum in 1820. Historical records say that she was born in Smith’s Ferry, PA and died in New Geneva, Fayette Co, Pa in 1866. I have been trying to determine who her parents were. I can find no record of her in Beaver Co, Pa. I believe, based on a search of the tax records for the early 1800′s, that her parents were Joseph/Jacob and Christiana Minesinger. They were the only Minesingers on the tax records…..but there is no mention of her. I understand that they had 10 children.
Have you come across her name in any of your research?

Nice writing….

Thanks,

G. Wyne

I hope you find records to back up what they have. Have you contacted the tree owner to see if they have more information?
