Person:David Braucht (2)

Moved from PA to Stark County, OH, then to Sec. 13 Hancock Co., OH 1834, across road from Thomas (Jr.) Reddin and wife Catherine (Braucht). See Jonas Braught line data for more details. See more detailed notes in my Jonas file on this entire family.

Note cautions on data reliability of other marriages for David and on data of two youngest children (mother would have been 41 and 45 yrs. old for Adeline and Jemina, etc.). Consider that these are not Bible names as are other children.  Also, I have lost documentation suggesting Teatsworth marriage and suspect it to be much later than shown here.

Bindnagle Records by Poorman spells the surname PRACHT, but these are certainly the same persons married to Mary Sprecher with children at same dates, etc. I choose to let some of the Pracht surname stay in these family records to alert readers of this spelling for the family history. Could this be a brother (or at least first cousin) to Adam Braught? Hancock Jeffersonian Newspaper dated Friday March 12, 1860 shows death record as follows: " Died Braught at his residence near Findlay, Mr. David Braught, born Dauphin Co, PA June 25, 1790, died March 10, 1869 aged 79 yrs. 8 months and 5 days." Report from Diedre Cox of data from Karen somebody that 1860 OH Hancock Co., Blanchard Twp. page 236 shows David Braught, 69, b. PA and Elizabeth, 40, b. PA. Is this our David Braucht and second wife Elizabeth Teatsworth? History of Hancock Co.; Warner Beers and Co. Chicago, 1886, pg. 386: "A large number of settlers came to the township in 1835-36 among whom were Alpheus Edwards, Joseph Horner, David Braucht, David M. Baldwin, William Smeltzer, Phineas Mapes, Stephen Smith, and James McClish...David Braucht and family were from Stark County, Ohio. He entered a large tract of land south of Blanchard. Both he and his wife died on the old Homestead and Mrs. L.C. Groves is the only one of their children now living in the county".
