Birth: 23 Feb 1773 age 49y 4m 8d on tombstone

Note: __ ___ ____ Bio of Simon, David's son, and William's grandson, says "His father, G. F. Spangler, was of German descent, and was a soldier in the old colonial Indian wars. He was a noted marksman and wrester, and on one occasion he was captured by the savages, but escaped after being a prisoner for six months." However, G.F. doesn't match either David or William's name. Without a more specific date of the wars, either of them could be the soldier to whom the bio refers.

Military: 12 Feb 1799 Per KY State Historical Society Regester v.30 pg.11 (referred to, not looked up) David was made an Ensign on this date; Various papers/letters copied from vertical file at the Filson Club in Louisville (Jefferson Co) KY, My Evd # 1189.

Deed: 07 Aug 1799 Witness; Margaret (__________) (10081, 4G Grm); Jefferson Co., Kentucky; John & Margaret Abbott to David Spangler, 100 acres, being part of the land held in right of the dower of Margaret as widow and relict of William Spangler.
It appears that John & Margaret Abbott left their older children in Kentucky. Milly may have become acquainted with Peter Peckinpaugh through Henry Peckinpaugh, Peter's uncle, though only 4 years older, who was married to Catherine Spangler.
The book also says "How, or whether Catherine Spangler was related to William Spangler is not known. She was the daughter of George & Mary C Spangler, and married Henry 17 May 1804 in Jefferson Co KY." However, the Catherine who married Henry is the daughter of William & Margaret, not a George & Mary; Early Kentucky Settlers - The records of Jefferson County, Kentucky, Filson Club, Genealogical Publishing Co Inc: Baltimore MD, 1988, My Evd # 1192.

Previously, the names made things confusing because Elizabeth's mother was named Neal. However, subsequent research by Peggy Willmering of Spokane WA, showed that Elizabeth's mother was widow of a Durke, and married Thomas Nealle, explaining the confusion; Marriage Records of Jefferson Co KY 1781-1799 SLC 817859, My Evd # 1187.; Marriage Records Jefferson Co KY 1780-1854 Microfilm of original loose papers gathered by the Filson Club and having additional information added concerning the parties.
