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.
