    From:Barbara Rivas: Gingerich Family Genealogist: eMail. I have a lot of information on the Gingerich's in Missouri. *John S. went to Lawrence, Kansas as a circuit preacher. He was under the elder, S. Snyder, who was killed in Quantrill's raid on Lawrence. John S. also helped establish a church in Fulton, Callaway Co., MO., where most of his kinfolks settled. John S. had 4 children.
    There is a man living in Richfield, PA. who is a descendent of William Gingerich (brother to my John S.). William seems to be the only one who stayed home in Juniata Co. This gentleman has a family bible. It is not the original Gingerich bible, but one that William or someone made. His name is Noah L. Zimmerman, R#1 Box 602 Richfield, PA 17086-9709.
    I have a whole slew of wills and papers from Mifflintown.. I was there several summers ago and just copied everything that had to do with Gingerich. I also got a Will from Lewistown on an Elizabeth Gingerich who died in 1825 (more or less). On the inventory and sale papers of my John Gingerich's estate, the name is spelled about 5 different ways be the brothers themselves. I did find his gravestone though (pretty sure- the dates match perfectly) and his wife. His was in Mexico and her's across in Perry Co., Saville Twp.

    ciiisiii note: We Recently determined that John b. 1791 is the brother to my Elizabeth b. 1797. Thanks,Barbara for sending me copies of my GGG Grandmother's Will !
