Jacob4 Orner (Felix3, felix2, Ulrich1), born 16 May 1790 in Menallen, York (now Butler, Adams), Pennsylvania and christened __?

On 23 June 1816, “Jacob Orner and Eva” were baptismal sponsors for Eva Katharina Bricker, daughter of Wilhelm and Becky Bricker(10). On 19 June 1825, “Jacob Arner and Maria” were baptismal sponsors for Andreas Greiner, son of Jacob and Catharina Greiner(6).

[Maria was married second 26 October 1834 in Richland County, Ohio (FHL film #388736) to Jacob Lane Yohe (his second marriage)(son of George Joh/Yohe and Nancy Ann Lane) who was born 08 March and christened 15 April 1798 in Berwick, York (now Adams), Pennsylvania (recorded at Abbotstown Reformed Church) and died December 1891 in Delaware County, Indiana. They had two known children: Alexander Yohey, born 03 January 1835 in Pennsylvania, died 08 July 1923 in Miami County, Ohio (Death Certificate #45338, Volume 4223), married 10 July 1856 in Miami County to Elizabeth J. Jones who was born about August 1839 in Ohio, and had seven children; and George Yohe, born 27 April 1837 and died 19 August 1839.]

Possible children with first wife, born in Menallen:

Possibly William Thomas/Thompson?5 Orner, born about 1815 in Pennsylvania;  married to ________? who apparently died before the 1860 census. [NOTES: William is presumably connected somehow to the two sons of Felix4 Orner, Jr who also moved to Ripley, Holmes, Ohio (since he was living adjacent to them in 1860), so it seems likely that he belongs to the Adams County family. But this family is not the only possible placement for him. William does not seem to be with any of the Orner families in the 1820 census, but he might be the extra male, age 10-15, with Felix4 Jr (“Phelix Orner”) in the 1830 census.] He was a farmer. 1860 Census: Wm Thom Orner, page 403, visit 1266/1290, Ripley, Holmes, Ohio.
