General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Stickel

---

There are several families with the surname Stickel, Stickle or Stickles in the United States. It seems that the New York family is of Palatine origin. The New Jersey family, according to tradition, is Dutch. It is possible that the Pennsylvania family and the New Jersey family are akin, but the fact that the early ancestors of the Fayette County Stickels were Quakers is against the theory of Dutch origin. On the whole, therefore, it seems that there are at least three distinct families, each specially connected with one of the states named. In each of these the surname is found under the form Stickle; in the present family, this form and the form Stickel are both being used, some members of the family using one and some the other of these spellings.

Of the early Fayette County, Pennsylvania, Stickels little can be related with definite certainty. It is stated that Washington County, Pennsylvania, was their place of abode before they came into Fayette County; also that the early Stickels were Quakers. They settled in Perry township, Fayette County, and there they bought from the Cook family a large tract of land, several hundred acres in extent, which became known as Stickel Hollow. This land was once owned by George Washington, about 1776, when he built a large mill at Perryopolis.
The name of the first member of this line to come into Fayette County is not known, but he had a son, Edward. [GPHFC, 680]
