BLOSSER
�Genealogical History of the Blosser Family as Known in America,� by S. H. 
Blosser, Dayton, Virginia. Dated 1903. A Pamphlet (not a book).
 
As far back as I can trace by careful inquiry, it appears that the name Blosser 
was originally spelled Blaser from the German Blaser, came from Switzerland; 
place and province not known to me. It is handed down to me by tradition that 
Peter Blosser (whom I will call Peter the First) became a singer and jester to 
some great person or nobleman of that country, but in time of war he escaped and 
went to France, where he remained for a while, but war coming on in France he 
left that country and came to America, Aug. 27, 1739 on the ship �Snow Betsy�, 
last from Deal, 190 passengers, and settled in the state of Penna., at a creek 
called Codorus, near Little York in York Co., where it is supposed he married 
and had sons and daughters.  He was also an ordained minister in the Mennonite 
Church.  In the course of time his wife died, and his sons becoming somewhat 
unmanageable, he said he would get them a cross step-mother, so marrying for his 
second wife a Miss Knicely, who was sure enough a cross wife, on whose account 
he had to give up his ministry and her stepchildren scarcely being able to live 
with her left the parental roof as they became of age and went to Virginia, 
settled in Page County near Stonyman near the Blue Ridge.

KUNKEL/KONKLE

�Much of the following material is taken from Genealogy 
and History of the Descendants of William Konkel 
by Carroll G. Bryan, Detroit, Mich., 1966". .

Not much is known of the early Konkel ancestors, except that they came to this 
country from Germany. There the name is spelled Kunkel. The first Konkel for 
record is JOHN KUNCKLE born somewhere around 1765. The name spelled this way 
either by trying to Americanize the name or some official spelling it as he 
interpreted the pronunciation of this foreigner. John is known to have had 7 
children of which the 3rd was Samuel KUNKEL.

SAMUEL KUNKEL dropped the �C� from the family name. Not known for certain where 
he was born but married BARBARA LUTZ and they lived somewhere in Lancaster Co., 
Penna. where 8 children were born.

Samuel KUNKEL,  m (2) (Wife Unknown) and moved to Knox Co., Ohio, 
probably 1828, where an additional 6 children were born. Samuel KUNKEL is buried near 
the town of Ashland, Ohio.

WOODRUFF

NEHEMIAH WOODRUFF was born in Knox Co., Ohio, Nov. 3, 1833 and was one of a
