General Notes: Husband - Lewis Daubenspeck


Lewis Dovenspike, who probably came from Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, was the first settler in Monroe township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, locating on a tract of land where Churchville now is, in 1800, or quite probably before that time. He had no family, but followed hunting and trapping. In 1802 he sold his land and settled on the hill above New Bethlehem, where later other members of the family located. Among them was Henry Dovenspike, who in 1806 located on a tract of land belonging to the Holland Land Company and built a log house; the land he occupied was where the borough of New Bethlehem was later located. He died previous to 1831, as George Dovenspike (presumably a son of Henry) and John Milliron (an heir) laid out the town of New Bethlehem, and on March 1, 1831, recorded a deed conveying thirty acres more or less, where New Bethlehem now stands. John Dovenspike was also an early settler in that locality. [GPHAV, 882]

All the sons [of Jacob Daubenspeck] in Clarion and Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, allowed the neighbors to call them Doverspike, which name they retain at present.
