Notes for Elizabeth Stoner

Research Notes:

There appears to be more than one Elizabeth Stoner Moyer in Indiana at about the same time. We welcome evidence about which was the wife of Christian W Moyer.

An Elizabeth Moyer was listed as the daughter of Joseph Stoner in the Noble County, Indiana probate: Stoner Joseph, died 3-6-1883. Fd: 6-18-1883. Sp: Julia Ann. Ch: Elias S, Henry, William, Susan, Harriet Stoner, Elizabeth Moyer, Anna Brown, Mary Arenz. A Joseph Stoner is listed as a landowner in Green Twp in Noble County, Indiana [1]. Joseph Stoner can be followed in the census back to 1850 in Warwick Twp, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

However, the family graveyard for David & Barbara Stoner and granddaughter Catharine Moyer at Brubaker Cem. (Find-A-Grave, including grave marker photographs) suggests that Elizabeth was the daughter of David and Barbara Bechtel Stoner. This is very likely our Elizabeth Stoner, since Christian and Elizabeth Moyer lived in Ashland County, Ohio in 1850.
