Sarah Stebelton (12/8/1821 - 12/21/1893) married William Michael Reicheldefer (11/4/1819 - 12/21/1893) on August 28, 1837
in Allen County, OH.The birth and death dates are from Franklin A. Burkhardt's book "The Boucher Family" 1917. p. 301, and from St. Matthew's Cemetery in Allen County,OH where they are buried. William Reichelderfer is the son of John Christian Reichelderfer and Rebecca Bowsher (Boucher family).William Michael's Grandfather John Adam Reichelderfer was the brother of Ana Maria Reichelderfer who married Jacob Stapleton.
Regarding the spelling of the name.I have the birth/baptism record for twins David and Jacob with parents listed as John and Magdalena Stableton.On land deed in Pickaway County in 1819, David's name is spelled Stebelton.On an 1837 deed in Allen County, OH his name is spelled Stebleton. On his gravestone in St. Matthews Cemetery, his
name is spelled Stebelton. His children varied the spelling of the name between Stebelton, Stebleton and Stepleton even within their own lives.It was not until David's grandchildren, that the various children used only one spelling, usually Stepleton.
