Barbara Pontious (m. John Spees)
Barbara Pontius was born in Ohio on May 13, 1813. She married John Spees in Ross County, Ohio, on September 9, 1832. The couple moved to Union, Ohio (Auglaize County) some prior to 1850.
Barbara Pontious' father is unknown, but he apparently lived in Ross County, Ohio by 1813 and was born prior to 1795.
**New Information** An article was printed in The Bridge Builder (a Pontius Family Association publication) in October 1997 that refers to Barbara Pontius Spees as a daughter of John Pontius of Ross County, Green Township, Ohio. The article was written by John W. and Jacqueline Pontious Riley. A scan of the article is attached here, in the hope that it will help descendents and genealogists contact other researchers in this lineage. You will need Adobe Acrobat to read the document.
