The land in question is Donation Lot No. 929 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, which was initially granted to John Michael for his Revolutionary War service in 1806. Rudolph Spangler (1738-1811) of York County, Pennsylvania apparently bought the 200 acres from John Michael prior to 1811. The heirs of Rudolph Spangler were his widow Dorothea Spangler, and their children Jacob Spangler, Jesse Spangler, George Barnitz (husband of Catharine Spangler), Elizabeth Nes, Charles E. Fisher (husband of Helena Spangler), and Margaret Slagle (wife of Joseph Slagle).
Note that Daniel Spangler had to claim this land from the heirs within two years of this deed, and apparentrly did so.
Daniel Spangler (1781-1851) was born in York, Pennsylvania, the son of Rudolph and Maria Dorothea (Dinkel) Spangler. He married Elizabeth King (1796-1863) on 12 March 1815 in York. Daniel Spangler moved to Winchester, Virginia in about 1816, and then moved to this land in Mercer County in 1828.
Daniel and Elizabeth (King) Spangler are my 3rd great-grandparents, through their daughter Rebecca Spangler (1832-1901) who married David Jackson Carringer (1828-1902) in 1851 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. The Henry Carringer and Daniel Spangler families were relatively close neighbors in the 1830-1860 time frame.
