bullet Elizabeth "Lizzie" GRAYBILL(3975) (3976) was born on 31 Jul 1836 in Union Co., Pa..(3977) (3978)(3979) Melvin Lauver has her year of birth as 1826, which would have made her 5 years younger than her husband. If born in 1836, as the Census of 1870 indicates, she would have been about 5 years younger than Reuben. If she died in 1915, her death certificate should be available from the state of PA to help support the correct date of birth. If she had been born in 1826, she would have been 28 at the time of her marriage - late in life to start a family of 10 children credited to Elizabeth. Her tombstone also has the year of birth as 1836.

On 5 April 1999, an IGI file (1985574) was found on the LDS FHC Web Site that shows an Elizabeth Graybill born on 31 July 1836, but having parents named Jacob and Mariah Graybill.

On 30 April 1999, the death certificate arrived and shows year of birth as 1836 and year of death 1916. It also shows her parents as Jacob and Mary Graybill. She died on 14 Mar 1915 in Milroy, Armagh Township, Mifflin Co., PA. (3980)(3981) She was buried on 16 Mar 1916 in Lauver Mennonite Cemetery, Evendale, Juniata Co., Pa.. Gravesite seen by the compiler. She was also known as surname GRABILL. Public notations indicate a spelling of Graybill.. Grabill was a standard form of the name, however, there are 13 widely used forms and actually about 200 known ways of spelling this name, so a error by the census taker was possible as it was in later accounts. GRAYBILL


Grabill (Graybill, Grebiel, Kraybill, Krabill, Krebill, Krehbiel,
Krehenbuhl, Crayenbuhl and thirteen other minor
variants [actually there are 200 ways of spelling this
surname])

This name comes from a Swiss Mennonite family originating in
the Parish of Grosshochstetten in the canton of Bern, later
prominent in the Palatinate and America. In 1682, Peter Krebiehl
emigrated to the Palatinate settling on the Weierhof where the
family is still represented. See the article for the history of
the family in Europe and America carrying this form of the name.
When the first member of the family came to America is not
clear. An Eva Grabiel was married to a Christian Wenger in
Lancaster Co., PA, about 1728 [keep in mind that Lancaster Co.
was officially carved out of Chester County in 1729, out of which
Cumberland Co. was carved in 1750, then Bedford Co. in 1771,
Huntingdon Co., 1787 and finally Blair Co. in 1846, so Lancaster
Co. could have covered a large geographical area]. The first
known male immigrant was a John Krebiehl who arrived about the
mid-18th Century in Lancaster Co. His son, or grandson, John
Grebel moved to Juniata Co., became the first Mennonite minister
and bishop there and is the progenitor of a large number of
descendants who have consistently spelled the name Graybill.
Bishops Jacob (1816-92), William (1833-1902), and William W.
(1880- ) are among his descendants. His family who stayed in
Lancaster Co. have largely adopted the spelling Kraybill. That
part which moved to Virginia uses the spelling Grabill.
Families moving westward to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois betray
their provenance by the form of spelling. The Krabill family in
Stark Co., Ohio and Washington Co., Iowa, is of Amish background,
coming direct from Europe, not from Pennsylvania.
The family has no connection with Conrad Grebel, the founder
of the Anabaptist-Mennonite movement in Zurich, Switzerland,
Although the pronunciation is similar. Among the currently
serving Mennonite ministers of the family are Bishop J. Paul
Graybill of East Earl, PA, Bishop William W. Graybill of
Richfield, PA, preachers J. Silas Graybill of Doylestown, PA,
Russell Krabill of Goshen, Ind., and Martin K. Kraybill of
Elizabethtown, PA. Parents: Jacob GRAYBILL and Mary "Mariah" GRAYBILL.

bullet John GRAYBILL was born on 18 Aug 1735 in Manheim Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa.. (4055)(4056) (4057) (4058) The record on USGenWeb for Graybill Cemetery, Snyder Co., PA, has the date of birth as being 17 Aug 1736. 18 Aug. 1735 remains as the probable date of birth, but this date from author John Slabaugh will need to be confirmed.

Another unknown researcher who distributed a two-page "The Descendants of Urs Dörrendinger" claims 17 Aug 1735 as the date.

In the January 1992 issue of "Pa. Mennonite Heritage," the birth year is given as 1736. The birth year is now changed to reflect 1736 since two out of three sources seen have 1736.

One possibility to consider is an inaccurate calculation due to the calendar change in 1752.

Ancestry of Marty Graybill states 18 Aug. 1735. The other date of 18 Aug 1736 is being removed on 28 May 2007. He signed a will on 30 Aug 1803. (4059) He lived in Mifflin, now Juniata Co., but the will was probated in Northumberland Co.

(4060) Also known as the Crossroads Cemetery. He died on 18 Feb 1806 in Richfield, Mifflin Co., Pa..(4061) (4062) The area is now part of Juniata Co. Since he is buried in the Graybill Cemetery, Snyder Co., just north of the county line and Richfield in Juniata Co., it is assumed his home was close to the county line.

Both author John Slabaugh and the Graybill cemetery records agree on the date of death. He had an estate probated on 25 Feb 1806 in Northumberland Co., Pa.. (4063) He served in the military Revolutonary War.(4064) First settler in 1772, located across the Mahantango Creek in what is now Snyder Co. His sons took up land on the south side of the creek.
