Hi, Kathleen!Greetings!
I located some pertinent information about the family recorded in your Found Bible.Once again, the material in Barbara Ford's The Oberholtzer Book comes into the limelight as the source.
It appears your family is directly descended from MARCUS OBERHOLTZER of Rockingham County, Virginia.His line begins with the MV designation, and can be found on page 339.
MVMarcus Oberholtzer b c 1760 was first found on the 1787 tax list in Rockingham Co VA.it has been suggested that he had a 1st marriage with a son Martin b c 1782 - no further information.m 12/12/1789 Margaret Armentrout c 1772 Rockingham VA - c 1829, d/o John Heinrich Ermentraudt & Mary Magdalena Bauer[the references are listed]
If I'm reading correctly, the following represents the lineage of the family of HENRY ALVIN OVERHOLT and CLARA ANASTASIA SHARP (see pages 341-342).Barbara Ford gets the final word on this effort.Anyway, perhaps this information may help locate a living member of the family.
