Person:George Arnsberger (1)

It appears from later records that this individual used his middle name in his daily living. His father seems to have done the same thing with his name, most often going by Henry.

Census records of Henry Arnsberger 1800 1810 1820 Henry Ernstberger lived in Cumberland Co., Pennslyvania as early as 1775 where he is found on the tax list owning 130 acres, 2 cows and 1 horse. Also listed is Christian Fox, probably Henry's step-father. Henry left a will naming all of his children. At this time his wife's name is unknown. It is possible he married in York County which was where Christian Fox and Magdalena Ernstberger lived after about 1765. Henry has been found on the tax lists for the years 1775, 1776, 1778, 1779, 1780, 1781, 1782, 1783, and 1798. He died in 1806 and left minor children. The 1809 tax list shows Jacob Arnstberger, Henry Arnsberger and heirs of Henry Arnsberger. The 1810 tax list for E. Pennsboro Twp., Cumberland Co shows Jacob Arnstberger, Heirs of Henry Arnsberger, Henry Arnsberger and widow Hansberger(not sure if this is right famiy). In the land records for Cumberland Co., Christian Ansberger was grantor to Jacob Ansberger(grantee) 2 Dec., 1812 in E. Pennsboro Twp. Cumberland Co. It appears several of Henry's children went to New York, namely Christopher, John and Frederick. Frederick is found in Ontario Co., Genesed Twp in the 1820 index. Ontario and Seneca are right next to each other. Jacob, Daniel and Henry stayed in Cumberland Co., Pa. Numerous baptism records have been found for children of these three men. That leaves only Peter unaccounted for. At this time, very little is known about his daughters. Sources: 1. John R. Miller Collection Cumberland County records, film #1465915 2.
