General Notes: Husband - John Anspach


His father and the rest of the family, excepting John, were carried off by yellow fever in 1793. His father's estate passed into the hands of neglectful trustees, and John was left penniless at the age of nineteen. Possessed with a robust physical organization, too proud to complain, and with full confidence in his own resources, he removed to Loop, in Penn's valley, purchased a tract of unimproved land, and went to work with a determined and hopeful mind. Here he married and raised a large family. By industry he acquired a handsome property, but a destructive fire consumed his property, and business losses compelled him to send forth his numerous family to commence the struggle of life with no other fortune than good religious training, and such an education as the best schools of that time afforded.
