Name Prefix: Rev.
Rev. Jacob Lischy's Private Pastoral Records for Lischy's Reformed Church in York County, Pennsylvania, 1773 -1901 record the baptism of Henry Stambach who was born 14 September 1785 (this date is within 3 days of the birthdate calculated according to Rev. Henry Stambaugh's cemetery marker). His parents are identified as Philip and Margaret Stambach; the probablity that this is Henry, son of Philip and Barbara, but with some recording error, appears great. The baptismal sponsors were Jacob and Anna Hauser.

There is an entry for Henry Stambaugh in Manallen Twp., 1810 Adams County, Pennsylvania Census witht he following family:

1 male 16 - 25
3 males under 10
1 female 16-25
1 female under 10


There is an entry for Henry Stombaugh in the 1820 Columbiana County, Ohio Census for Centre Twp. with the following family:

1 male 26 - 45
2 males 10 - 16
5 males under 10
1 female 26 - 45
1 female 10 - 16
2 females under 10
1 person engaged in agriculture


Reference is made to Henry in the Columbiana County Cemetery Inscriptions, Volume 14, as submitted by Carol Willsey Bell. The record originally appeared in the Ohio Patriot published in New Lisbon by William D. Lepper Saturday, 12 September 1829:


DIED Sunday morning last at the residence of John Watson in
this town, the Rev. John Waggner late of Rockbridge Co., VA,
at the advanced age of 75 years. The deceased had left home on foot, a distrance of several hundred miles, in search of two of
his sons, of whom no tidings were had until whitin a few days
of his demise and too late for information to reach them of his
situation. It may be a gratification to his relations and friends
to learn, though he died among strangers, that every care & attention was paid to him by Mr. Watson & family and the
family of Martin Helman, that humanity cound suggest. His remains were interred on Monday in the German Cemetery at which the Rev. Henry Stambaugh officiated in a feeling and impressive manner.


In the 1850 Portage County, Ohio Census, Henry and his second wife, Hannah, reside in Randolph Township where Henry is a cooper. His Real Estate value is $1,600.00.

In the 1860 Portage County, Ohi Census, Henry and Hannah continue to reside in Randolph Twp. Henry's Real Estate value is $600.00 and his Personal Estate value is $2,000.00.

In the biographical sketch of A.W. Stambaugh in History of Stark County with an outline sketch of Ohio edited by William Henry Perrin, his grandfather is identified as Rev. Henry Stambaugh. This source does not mention Henry and Catharina's children Jacob or Hannah but does mention a son "Josiah", a daughter, "Emma", and a second daughter bearing the name "Catharine" that are not mentioned in any other document or resource that I have yet found.

That same source explains that Henry married Catharine "...and with his family of children emigrated to Ohio, crossing the river at Pittsburg in a ferryboat. He came to New Lisbon, Ohio, where he rented land twelve years, but finally made his way to the county [Stark], and settled first in Nimishillen Tp., when it was all a wilderness; remaining here seven years, when, he removed to Canton and remained seven years, and finally located in Portage Co., where he died in 1866. He was a minister of the Albright faith, as were also John and Jacob, his brothers, but later in life joined the United Brethren Church. (page 968)."

According to that same county history, Henry's "...ancestor was Philip, a native of Alsace on the Rhine. He and several brothers came to York Co., Pa., and settled there previous to the war of the Revolution. The children of Philip were --- Jacob, Henry, John, Catharine, Mary and Elizabeth. Philip was remarkably fond of hunting and the chase, and upon his arrival in Pennsylvania, purchased several hundred acres of land at South Mountain, in Adams Co., Pa. (967)."
