Notes about Jacob Fretz (Overholt) Oberholtzer


Ancestor of Ruth Marconi who messaged me 2.2023

Henry Derstine Hunsberger was a Deacon in the Mennonite Church here in South Cayuga. He was born March 14, 1811, died Nov. 6, 1890. He married Barbara FRETZ GAYMAN. She was born Dec 10, 1812, died Nov 27, 1859 They had 10 children. I have been to the South Cayuga cemetery to visit the grave of my great grandparents and some of the children are also there. I have recently met a couple of the cousins (a few times removed), but I don't know how many of the family are still in the area. I had planned on going to the Hunsberger reunion this year, and visiting the grave of Bishop Henry, but had to change the plans at the last minute. Have you ever gone to the reunion?
I am making plans to go to the reunion next year.

We are related. My ancestor is Abraham Hunsberger 1725 - 1783. He is your ancestor too. My ancestors did not leave Bucks County/Montgomery County Pennsylvania until the 1950's. I notice there is a Hunsberger Reunion in Sellersville, Bucks County in August. I have nerver gone, Is that the reunion you are referring to? I live in Anchorage, Alaska and fly back for 2 Reunion the first week of August in Bucks County. Do you attend a Mennonite Church? Have you always known of your Mennonite Roots?
