APPLEBACH, ABRAM (or ABRAHAM) - 1860 AND 1870 CENSUS

APPLEBACH, ABRAM (or ABRAHAM) - 1860 AND 1870 CENSUS

Abram/Abraham APPLEBACH was born between 1848 and 1851 depending on the document you are looking at. His father was definitely Henry APPLEBACH.  His death certificate says his mother was Catherine STAHR, which is entirely possible.  However, I have also seen her name as Catherine CORNER.

His death certificate says he was born in  Feb. 1851 and he is not on the 1850 census. His mother appears to disappear from sight about the time of his birth.  His siblings appear in the 1860 census as living with other people.

In 1860, Abram was living with Samuel and Harriett MILTENBERGER in Monroe County, PA. He is listed as 10 years old and has been in school that year.

In 1870, Abram is listed as living in Northampton County, PA with Sam and Catherine SHIMER.  He is 22, and a farm laborer.

I do not have any information yet on how Abram APPLEBACH ended up in Lancaster County, PA by Dec. 1872 when he married Elizabeth LITTLE in Lancaster, PA. They would live the remainder of their lives in Lancaster County, PA.
