Biography by Frank Houck

David Enyeart (1787-1857) (Enyeart-53)

David P. Enyeart, the father of Isaac Vandevander Enyeart, was born 9 August 1787. ^[1] The son of William Enyeart^[2] and Catherine Shell, ^[3] his birthplace was near McConnellstown, ^[4] which at that time was in Hopewell Township (now in Walker Township), about 4 miles southwest of Huntingdon, PA. David remained in the home of his parents through 1810. ^[5] His birth in PA is confirmed by the 1880 US census entries for his seven children living in 1880.

Margaret Householder (1789-1857) (Householder-232)

The basis for Margaret's maiden name being Householder is the death certificate of her son, David, which states that his parents were David Enyart and Margarete Householder.^[6] She was born 12 December 1789, based on her death date and age at death on her gravestone.^[7] No birth record was found. The records giving her birth place as PA are the above cited death certificate and the 1850 and 1880 US censuses.^[8] Based on the following analyses I conclude that: (1) the father of Margaret should be considered unknown; (2) her father was probably John Householder, Sr., who served in the War of 1812, was born by about 1765, and was probably living in or near McConnellstown in 1812, but this cannot be proven; and (3) the only things certain about her father are that his surname was Householder or a variant and that he was probably living in PA in 1775-1789. Margaret's mother is unknown.

Search for Margaret Householder’s father

The candidates analyzed as Margaret’s father are:

(1) Michael Householder married to Martha Westbrook

This analysis begins with a biography of John W. Householder, Huntingdon County, PA. ^[9] This is the only account found naming parents of a Margaret Householder and includes the following: "John W. Householder, wagon manufacturer, Markleysburg, Pa., was born January 3, 1855, in the town where he now resides. He is a son of John and Catharine (Vandevander) Householder.... John Householder, the father of John W., was born in McConnellstown, Huntingdon County, on September 13, 1807.... He was the first wagon-maker in Markleysburg, and it was in this town that he spent the greater part of his life, and died in 1880.... He was married October 27, 1836, in Walker township, to Catharine, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Enyeart) Vandevander, born December 15, 1815.... [Their children] were: Martha (Mrs. G. W. Gorsuch), of Martinsburg, Blair county;.... His grandfather, Michael Householder, was born at Antietam, and removed to McConnellstown, where he engaged in farming and also in driving a stage to Philadelphia. He married Miss Martha Westbrook. They had six children: Margaret; Elizabeth; John; Levi; William; and Mary A." The sources of this information are not stated.

The death certificate^[10] of John Wesley H ouseholder (1855-1947) confirms his birth date, place and parents, except stating their birth places to be Markleysburg rather than McConnellstown. However, the death certificate of his sister, Nannie, states her parents were born in McConnellstown. ^[11] (This difference does not seem consequential, as Marklesburg is only 6.7 miles southwest of McConnelstown.) John Householder [the father] was born in McConnellstown 13 September 1807, according to the above biography. His birth place in PA and his birth date are consistent with the four censuses^[12] that include such information, the last of which, 1880, also confirms MD as the birth place of his father.

Confirmation of Michael Householder and Martha Westbrook as the parents of this John Householder or of any of the other five children named above was not possible. The only record or credible evidence of a Martha in the household of a Michael Householder is the 1850 census^[13] that lists his age as 76, her age as 69 and their birth places as PA. This birth place for Michael is not consistent with the above biography, and their ages, which are consistent with the 1807 birth date of son John, preclude them from being the parents of Margaret born in 1789. Errors in censuses do occur, but three errors in one census seem highly unlikely, and on this basis I conclude that this Michael Householder and Martha are not the parents of Margaret. This is confirmed in the 1860 census^[14] that includes a Michael Householder, age 88, living in the household of his daughter Margaret who was married to Daniel Kyper.^[15] No evidence of an older Michael and Martha Householder was found, but their existence cannot be disproved. Several Westbrooks were found in Virginia, including two Martha Westbrookes named as daughters in wills, but none that could have been Margaret’s mother.

(2) Michael Haushalter born in 1756 in MD

There was a Michael Haushalter, whom I considered as a possible father of Margaret. He was born in 1756 in Elizabeth Parish^[16] in what is now Washington County, MD. This is the area of Antietam. There were no Haushalters there in subsequent censuses, and he is assumed to be the Michael Householder in the 1790, 1800 and 1810 censuses, ^[17] whose household in all three censuses included a female of Margaret's age. He was not in the 1820 MD census, and no further information about him in MD was found. He could have been the Michael Householder in the 1820 census for PA/Bedford/Bethell. No death or further records or information about him or his household were identified. There were two females with given name Martha living in Elizabeth Parish in the 1776 census and of an age suitable to have been Margaret's mother, but there is no basis for proving or disproving this. However, this Michael could not have been the father of Margaret, because she was born in PA and he was living in MD in 1776, 1790, 1800 and 1810.

(3) Michael Householder married to Mary Ann Dickey

There was another Michael Householder whom I analyzed and rejected as the father of Margaret. He was the father of John B. Householder who was born 23 June 1837 in Alexandria, Huntingdon County, PA, and died there 30 August 1909. John's parents were Michael Householder and Mary Ann Dickey, both born in Alexandria. ^[18] John B. Householder is probably the J Householder (born 1836-37) in the household of M (born 1812-13) and M (born 1815-16) Householder in the 1850 US census, ^[19] which included an E Dickey. He is also probably the John Householder, age 22 (born 1837-38), in the household of Michael (born 1812-13) and Mary (born 1815-16) Householder in the 1860 US census. ^[20] This Michael could not be the father of Margaret, as he was born some 24 years after her birth.

(4) Lieutenant John Householder, Sr., served in War of 1812 and born before about 1765

The issue of Margaret's father is further muddied by the presence during this time period of several John Householders in addition to those discussed above. Two of them were associated with David Enyeart during the War of 1812. David was a sergeant in a company of riflemen from McConnellstown commanded by Captain Isaac Vandevander in the War of 1812. ^[21] The company also included Lieutenant John Householder, Sr. and Private John Householder Jr. These relationships suggest the following two facts and an enticing hypothesis about Margaret's father.

Private John Householder, Jr., was born before 1796 based on his being at least 16 when he joined the above rifleman company; his father was Lt. John Householder, Sr., who was born before 1780 based on his being at least 16 when he fathered John, Jr.; and Lt. John Householder, Sr., is hypothesized to have also been the father of Margaret Householder who was born in 1789 and married David Enyeart. The 1850 census for Walker Township in which McConnellstown is located included a John Householder age 63 (corresponding to birth in 1786 or 87) born in PA, who was probably the above Private John Householder, Jr. His father would have been born by about 1765 and be old enough to be the father of Margaret born in 1789.

In the 1810 US Census for PA/Westmoreland/Salem, which is some 60 miles west of McConnellstown, there was a John Householder of this age but no way to associate him with the McConnellstown Householders. Given the proximity and relationships among John Householder, Sr., David Enyeart and Margaret Householder, my conclusion is that John Householder, Sr. was probably Margaret’s father, but proof is missing.

Family

David married Margaret Householder on 10 September 1812 in McConnellstown. ^[22] This source includes no evidence, and no record or other evidence of the marriage could be found. David is established as Isaac's father by a joint deed^[23] and Margaret as his mother by the above marriage information.

On 11 September 1812, the day after he was married, David left for Alexandria, PA, and the War of 1812. He was a sergeant (at 8 dollars a month) in a company of riflemen under the command of Captain Isaac Vandevander and Lieutenant John Householder, Sr. The Company marched from Alexandria and rendezvoused at Meadville where it was attached to the 2d Regiment of Riflemen, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel William Piper, and was mustered into the service of the United States under Brigadier General Adamson Tannehill on the 25th of September, marched to Buffalo and served until the 25th of November, 1812. By a statement of 5 September 1812 the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Simon Sydner, "expresses his high sense of the valor of those patriotic citizens who voluntarily flocked to the standard of their country on the northwestern frontiers of the state, to arrest the progress of an invading foe. ^[24] Captain Vandevander married Mary Enyeart, David's older sister. ^[25] Lieutenant Householder might have been the father of David's wife, Margaret Householder, as discussed above.

In 1820, after the new Township of Porter had been formed, David and Margaret continued living in Hopewell Township and had two sons and two daughters. ^[26] By 1840 they had moved to Porter Township and had six sons and two daughters. ^[27] In 1842-1845 David had jury duty in Porter Township. ^[28] No record has been found of land purchases by David Enyeart prior to 1850. Newspaper notices in 1847-1850^[29] announced the sale of the farm on which David was living in Woodcock Valley. The farm's description is impressive. David R. Porter, a former governor of Pennsylvania and for whom David's grandson David Rittenhouse Porter Enyeart was named, placed the advertisements. Woodcock Valley extends south from the Juniata River near Huntingdon past McConnellstown and then Marklesburg for about 19 miles to a gap at 986 feet elevation about 0.7 miles south of Cherrytown in Huntingdon County.

Residence of David Enyeart on 1 January 1850.

In 1850 David (in 1850 census as D. Ingard) and Margaret were still living in Porter Township with their sons David, William and Isaac and daughter Margaret. ^[30] Sometime after 1850 David moved to Cromwell Township and purchased a farm there. David died at his residence near Orbisonia 10 January 1857^[31] after a short illness at an age of 69 years, 5 months and 1 day. “The deceased was well known for his benevolence, hospitality, and honesty – no one was ever turned away hungry from his door. He was an honest man, ‘the noblest work of God’.” ^[32] He was buried in the Orbisonia, PA, Cemetery, his gravestone reading “died Jan 10, 1857, aged 69 yrs, 5 mo, 1 day.” ^[33] David died intestate, and his estate was probated 2 February 1857. ^[34]

Gravestone of David Enyeart

Margaret died 1 March 1857 at the age of 67 years, 2 months and 17 days and is buried in the Orbisonia cemetery. ^[35] Her will was dated 10 February 1857 and probated 9 March 1857^[36].

In September 1858 the sale of this real estate was announced in an Auditor's Notice. ^[37] A Huntingdon County Orphans Court hearing on accounts of John Enyeart, Administrator of David Enyeart, late of Cromwell township dec'd^[38] decreed the real estate of David Enyeart to Isaac Enyeart, conditioned on his payment to each of the other heirs of their portion of the estate ($80.23 plus $26.54 for so much of David's debt that was a lean on the real estate). ^[39]

Auditor's Notice of September 1858 sale of estate of David Enyeart

David and Margaret had the following eight children, according to Margaret's will, which includes the names of their four sons and the married names of their four daughters (Catherine Kough, Mary Thompson, Margaret Miller, and a deceased daughter, whose two children, Margaret Juniata and William Buchanan, are also named in the will). Their birth and death years are given in a family tree^[40] and a Find A Grave Memorial^[41], but neither of these sources provides any proof or other evidence of the dates.

(1) Catherine Enyeart was born in 1813 and died in 1895. She married Jacob Kough, his given name based on the 1850 (initial "J"), 1860, 1870 and 1880 US censuses. ^[42] Her ages in these censuses give contradictory birth dates of August 1812 to Aug 1813, October 1813 to Oct 1814, July 1813 to July 1814, and June 1812 to June 1813. The 1870 census suggests they lived in the vicinity of the Shade Gap Post Office, which is about 5 miles south of Orbisonia. The 1880 census shows they lived in Dublin Township but not in the Shade Gap Borough itself. Catherine died 6 August 1895. ^[43] A family tree^[44] gives her birth on 14 April 1813, her marriage to Jacob Kough in January 1836, and her burial in the Orbisonia Cemetery, with no sources cited.

(2) Mary Enyeart (1814-1880) was born 17 November 1814 (apparently based on her age at her death), married Ephraim Thompson 23 March 1837, ^[45] died 17 July 1880 at age 65 years and 8 months, and was buried in the Mountain View Cemetery in Mill Creek, PA. ^[46] This information and the two cited sources are from the Katrina Wall Family Tree, owner katymae16. Mill Creek is a small borough about 5 miles east of Huntingdon. From at least 1870 until 1880 the family lived in Union Township, ^[47] probably south of the Juniata River, since Ephraim was a farmer, and there seems little if any farm land on the Mill Creek side of the river.

(3) William Enyeart (1817-1905) was born 1 February 1817^[48] in PA, ^[49] married Margaret Richardson by 1847, was living with his family in his father's home in Porter Township in August 1850, ^[50] moved to Van Buren Township, Pulaski County, IN, soon thereafter, ^[51] died there in Star City 10 March 1905 at age 88 years 1 month and 8 days, and was buried in Mull Cemetery. ^[52]

(4) John L. Enyeart (1819-1888) was born 24 March 1819 (based on age at death and death date inscribed on gravestone) in Hartslog Valley, Huntingdon County, PA, and married Susannah Grove^[53] about 1844 (based on birth of first known child). ^[54] Susannah died 21 September 1857 and is buried in the Gilboa Cemetery, about 1 mile northwest of Shirleysburg, Huntingdon County, PA. ^[55] About 1859 John married Mary Jane Lloyd. ^{[56] [57]} John died 4 June 1888 in Shirley Township^[58] and is buried in the Gilboa Cemetery. ^[59]

(5) Margaret Enyeart (1821-1902) was born 18 November 1821, based on the inscription on the gravestone of the couple, in PA^[60], married John Miller^[61] about 1853, based on 16-year age in 1860 of first known child, ^[62] died 17 March 1902, and is buried in the Salem Reformed Cemetery, Blair County, PA, Plot: Row 15, Lot 11. ^[63]

(6) Isaac V. Enyeart (WikiTree profile and biography of Isaac Enyeart (Enyeart-59).

(7) Elizabeth Enyeart (1827-1855) was born about 1826 in PA, based on her 24-year age in the 1850 census, the only record found with any indication of her birth; married William Buchanan, a merchant, by about 1853, based on the 6-year age in 1850 of the first known child; ^[64] and died in 1855, based on a sworn statement by her father, dated 22 December 1855, in which he renounced his appointment as Administrator of the estate of "his daughter Elizabeth Buchanan, deceased, of Brady Township." ^[65] Her parentage by David Enyeart and Margaret Householder is also confirmed by Margaret's will in which she names two grandchildren, William and Margaret Juniata Buchanan, both of whom were living with their uncle David Enyeart in 1860. ^[66] Elizabeth was born 16 January 1827 and died 28 November 1855 according to family trees, which provide no source or other evidence. ^[67]

(8) David Enyeart (1829-1907) was born in PA^[68] 16 July 1829, based on his death certificate;^[69] married Eliza Hoover 30 December 1852 in Porter Township, Huntingdon County;^[70]; died 22 December 1907 at age 78 years, 5 month and 6 days (from gravestone inscription in photo in Find A Grave memorial) in Monroe Township, IN; ^[71] and is buried in the Mull Cemetery, Monroe Township, Pulaski County, IN. ^[72]
