    Peter Noffsinger’s son John as mentioned above first appeared as a non-ronroller in Maryland’s militia in 1776 when he was fined At that time in Pennsylvania all men between 18 and 53 were required to enroll in the State’s militia If we assume that Pennsylvania and Maryland’s laws were similar with respect to enrollment age, John would have been born prior to l758 Furthermore, it would seem that Peter had no other male children over 18 years
    The earliest public record of John in Virginia is a 1782 tax lists for Bedford County In 1785 John’s neighbors were Peter Snider, John Neeley, Jacob Gish and the Gebes John was a witness to a land sale in May, 1786 in Franklin County. rn April, 1787 he was living on aggdy (Maggerty) Creek near the Roan Oak (Roanoke) River on the county line with Botetourt Between 1785 and 1786 Franklin County was carved from Bedford county, Virgina
    In May, 1788 John Noftsinger of Franklin county apoointed his “trusty friend” Abraham Landis of Frederick county, MD to be his lawful attorney in the settlement of his wife Mary’s dowery Mary had been previously married to Abraham Hackman (Hoffman) who was deceased She had 177 acres of land in Frederick county. The maiden name of Mary was not given in this Frederick County record In October of the same year, for “consideration of live, good will and affection” Mary Spandgler signed a gift deed to John in Franklin county, Va Among the items she included were beds, cattle, horses, bonds, etc which suggested that the estate was a sizable one for the period Another record, dated 1797, recorded John’s purchase of a certain negro slave named Millie
    Children of John who married in Franklin county, Va were Mary (married Christly Peters in 1796), Hannah (married Benjamin Cauffman in 1798) and Nancy (married Daniel Gossett in l8O5) The Cauffman’s went to Muhlenberg County, KY about 1803.
    tn 1808 John’s daughter Elisabeth married Henry Rhoades III in Muhlenberg County,
    KY.• Just when John moved there is unknown. He was in Kentucky in 1810 as he and his
    wife were enumerated in the Kentucky census, as they were in 1820 and 1830. In 1812
    John Nofsinger was named as executor in Christian Gish’s will. John died about 1832/
    1833 as his will is record in the Muhlenberg County, KY will book in 1833.
