4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

 Elisabeth King/Konig was the daughter of Philip Jacob King/Konig and Catharine Ruth of York, York County, Pennsylvania.  The King family is described in the Kings of York County book.[1] 

The birth and baptism record of Elizabeth Konig in the Trinity Reformed Church (York, Penn.) records[3.4] says (translated from German to English):

Birth:  Mr 5 1796
Baptism:  My 2 1796
Child:  Elizabeth
Parents:  Jacob Konig & Catharine  

The Trinity Reformed Church (York, Penn.) record book notes the marriage of Elizabeth to Daniel Spangler:[2,7]

Mr 12 1815  Daniel Spengler - Elizabeth Koenig

After her marriage to Daniel Spangler on 12 March 1815 in York, the family moved to Winchester, Virginia. In 1829 they located in Sandy Creek township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.

Elizabeth's father, Philip Jacob King, died in 1829 in York, Pennsylvania, and in his 1826 will he directed his son George to pay Elizabeth a share of his estate:[5]

"...to be paid as follows, one thousand dollars part thereof to be paid to each of them immediately after my decease and to pay the Interest of one thousand dollars yearly to my daughter Elizabeth intermarried with Daniel Spangler during her natural life the first payment to be made in one year after my decease and at and immediately after her death the said sum of one thousand dollars, the principal, to be paid to her children sh-are and share alike..."

Daniel and Elizabeth (Koenig/King) Spangler had ten children, born between 1816 and 1841, as listed in the Spangler book,[2] and eight of them survived to adulthood and are listed in Daniel's probate records in 1851.

In the 1850 US census, the Daniel Spangler family resided in Sandy Creek township in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and was enumerated just after the Henry Carringer family.[6]  The household included:

*  Daniel Spangler, age 68, male, a farmer, real property worth $1500, born PA
*  Elizabeth Spangler, age 54, female, born PA
*  Rebecca Spangler, age 18, female, born PA, attended school
*  Loiza Spangler, age 12, female, born PA, attended school
*  Margaret Spangler, age 11, female, born PA, attended school
*  George Con (?), age 11, male, born PA, attended school
*  Matilda McKight, age 23, female, born VA
*  Elliott McKight, age 28, male, laborer, born PA

I have found no death record or burial record for Elizabeth.  The Spangler surname book[2] says:

"Elizabeth, his wife, was born March 5, 1796, died March 18, 1863, in Conneautville, Pa."
