I have some info on Mathias Ringle. My father owns one of the percussion rifles that he built. " M RINGLE" is double stamped on the barrel. I've had 4 working reproductions made for my family members. I've seen one other rifle for sale online, and one other article from another owner. I live about 50 miles from where his gunsmith business was located(Blairsville, Pa).I haven't visited his gravesite yet, but its on my agenda.
I have a discrepency concerning his wife. I have his wife listed as Eliza Singley, 1811-1846. Is Anna a second wife? I only have one child listed, Wilson, 1840-1918. He married Emma Keagy, 1850-1924- she was from Harriburg, Pa. Mathias' father was Daniel, his father -Mathias( George Washington's wagonsmith at Valley Forge), and his father Andreas. I have dates for these if you need them.Oh, I just ran across a note that Wilson was your g-g-grandfather, and there was a tie to a Devring or Deviny. So was she Wilson's mother?I can look around the Yockey cemetary. I'll make a point to ride over there when motorcycle weather gets here.adrian
