This King family is described in the Kings of York County book.[1]
The

- Birth: Mr 5 1796

Mr 12 1815 Daniel Spengler - Elizabeth KoenigThe Daniel Spangler family moved in about 1816 to Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. In 1829 they moved to Sandy Creek township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
Daniel and Elizabeth (Koenig/King) Spangler had ten children, born between 1816 and 1841, listed in the Spangler book,[2] and eight of them survived to adulthood and are listed in Daniel's probate records. The children were:
- Anna Katrina Spangler was born on 22 February 1816 in York, York County, Pennsylvania. She was christened on 12 July 1816 at Trinity Reformed Church in York, York County, Pennsylvania. She died in infancy after 12 July 1816 at the age of 0 in York, York County, Pennsylvania.

In the 1820 United States Census, the Daniel Spangler family resided in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia. The household included one male age 10-16 (perhaps a family member or laborer), one male age 26-45 (certainly Daniel), one female under age 10 (probably daughter Anna Maria), and one female age 16 to 26 ( certainly Elizabeth).
Elizabeth's
father, Philip Jacob King, died in 1829 in York, Pennsylvania, and in
his 1826 will he directed his son George to pay Philip’s
daughter 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 share and share alike..."
In
about 1829, Daniel and Elizabeth (King) Spangler bought Donation Lot
No. 929 in the 5th
District of Donation Lands which had 200 acres in Sandy Creek
township, Mercer County, Pennsylvaniaa.
In
the 1830 US Census, the Danl Spangler family resided in Sandy Creek
township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The
household included one male age 40-50 (certainly
Daniel),
two
females under age 5 (likely
daughter Dorothea Matilda
and an unknown person),
two females age 5-10 (likely
daughters
Sarah and
Elisabeth),
one
female age 10-15 (likely
daughter Anna Maria),
and one female age 30-40 (certainly
Elizabeth).
Daniel Spangler was listed on
the census enumeration just
before Martin Carringer and Henry Carringer.
In the 1840
United
States
Census, the Daniel Spangler family resided in Sandy Creek township,
Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The household included no males
(but
Daniel was listed as head of household),
two
females under age 5 (likely
daughters Louisa
and Rebecca),
one
female age 5-10 (likely
daughter Helen),
two
females age 10-15 (likely
daughters Sarah and Dorothea Matilda) ,
two
females age 15-20 (likely
daughter Elizabeth and one unknown person),
one
female age 20-30 (likely
daughter Anna Maria), and
one female age 40-50 (certainly
Elizabeth).
In
the 1850 United
States
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
Daniel Spangler died intestate on 19 July 1851 in Georgetown, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and was buried in Sheakleyville Cemetery in Sandy Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. An administration of his estate in Mercer County was ordered, and named all of the heirs-at-law, the widow and their eight living daughters. Benjamin Robinson and John Carringer were named as administrators, and inventoried the real and personal property. They found that the personal property would not cover the debts and administration costs, or provide for the maintenance of the widow and minor children, and the court ordered that the real property be sold.
After Daniel’s death in 1851, several of their children moved west, ending up in Iowa, Illinois, Colorado, and California.
Elizabeth
(King) Spangler died 18 March 1863 in Conneautville, Crawford County,
Pennsylvania, where her daughter Helen (Spangler) Brown resided. The
Spangler surname book[2] says:
"Elizabeth, his wife, was born March 5, 1796, died March 18, 1863, in Conneautville, Pa."
Elizabeth (King) Spangler is buried in Conneautville Cemetery in Conneautville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. The inscription on the gravestone is very corroded. I think that it says:
Elizabeth
wife
of
Daniel Spangler
died
March 18, 1863
aged
66
years
