5.6 "Joseph Ake married Margaret Garn." Helen Arkey gives Joseph's date of birth as 1797 in Huntingdon County and lists his wife as Margaret Rebecca Garn; she also gives his date of death as 4 October 1849. Joseph Ake did die before 1850 (his father's will), and is very likely listed on Archie Claar's cemetery record as the marker with the missing name:
Name of Deceased Parents Death Birth AgeThere is also a deed/agreement filed in Bedford County, filed after Joseph B. Ake's death by his heirs and administrators. The deed is dated 2 August 1853, Deed Book A/B pages 347 and 348. The deed gives his administrators as Caselton Ake and John H. Ake, likely his sons, who were living on their own by 1850 (John H. Ake did not sign the deed, see his 1850 census data below)."Ake (name on marker gone) 1849 10 4 1797 52"

His biography appears in Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska, Gage County, 1882:
"J. H. AKE, dealer in wood, coal, flour, feed and agricultural implements, Wymore, Neb., was born in Bedford County, Penn., in 1821, where he lived until 1855, when he moved to Muscatine, Iowa, where he engaged in buying grain and stock, and dealing in lumber. In 1868, bought the Young America Flouring Mill at that place, and ran it until 1869, when he moved to Syracuse, Otoe County, Neb., where he engaged in farming until 1882, when he moved to this place. Mr. A. has been twice married; in 1843 at Lowell, Mass., to Miss Charlotte White, and by this marriage has four children living--Permelia, John, Adolphus and Frank. Was married in 1860 to Miss Albina Rohn, at Catasauqua, Penn., and has six children--Preston, Luella, Albert, Austin, Clara and Nellie."I have not located John in the 1870 census. After he remarried, his household was located in the 1880 Federal Census of Russell Precinct, Otoe County, Nebraska, ED# 198, sheet 415B, enumerated on 8 June:

He he had to be born after 1860 and before 1880. There is only one Preston Ake indexed in the 1900 census.

5.6.1.7 Luella Ake, was born in about 1863 in Iowa.
5.6.1.8 Albert Ake, was born in about 1865 in Iowa. The 1900 census was recorded by Nellie A. Behen, I believe she made an error, which gave me fits for a couple of days (either that or Albert became a little flustered when she was asking him questions, he also stated that he was born in West Virginia and his parents were born in Ireland). She recorded Albert's birth year as 1839 and his age as 60. It should have read birth year 1860 and age 39--she juxtaposed the numbers somehow. He was enumerated on the same sheet as his brother (see the 1900 census data for Preston Ake above) in 1900, street address 912 Jefferson St. (Albert and Maggie both stated that they had been married for 8 years; Maggie stated that she had given birth to 2 children, one of whom was still living; Maggie also stated that she immigrated to the U.S. in the year 1889):

In the 1860 Federal Census the "Koontz" family was listed in St. Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, enumerated on the 1st of June--it appears that Susannah was busy raising twin girls (all family members were born in "Penna"):

5.6.6.1 Lucinda Koons, was born in about 1853 in Pennsylvania. In the 1880 census her last name is listed as Koons--the Nettlefield or Nettifield children were hers, confirmed by the 1900 census. Lucinda's last name in 1900 is difficult to make out. From the 1900 Federal Census of Fremont, 1st Ward, Sandusky County, Ohio, ED# 74, sheet 4A, recorded on the 2nd of June (Lucinda stated that she had been married for 26 years [her husband was not listed in the household] and she had given birth to two living children):#74 77 Gast, Lucinda Head Apr 1853 47 Penn Penn Penn [unreadable]"Loyd" Ake was a 2nd cousin, I believe he was a grandson of Susannah's brother Caselton Ake. Luckily the Sandusky Obituary Index provided some needed help with this family. The last name is indexed as "Netterfield", Lucinda's obituary appears in the index in 1928, she died at age 74 in Fremont, her name is also listed as Lucinda Koons (her maiden name--her husband may have been Sylvester Netterfield, his name also appears on her obituary listing). Her son Albert Netterfield is also listed in the index, he died in 1905 in San Francisco at age 28. I did locate Lucinda in the 1910 Federal Census of Fremont City, 1st Ward, Sandusky County, Ohio, ED# 608, sheet 5A, address listed as 515 Front Street (Lucinda stated that she had given birth to 2 children, one of whom was still living; Ada stated that she had been married for 3 years [Ada's husband was not listed in the household]):

Huffman, Ada Daughter 32 M Ohio Ohio Pennsylvania Finisher Shear FactoryJust to make matters more confusing--Ada apparently was widowed and changed her name back to Netterfield. She is listed as the head of household in the 1920 Federal Census of Fremont, 1st Ward, Sandusky, Ohio, ED# 71, sheet 16A:

Lou Mother 68 Wd Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Nickel Plater Shear FactoryI think that the occupations were reversed when they were recorded in 1920 and Ada was working in the 'Shear Factory'. Ada Netterfield is also listed in the Sandusky Obituary Index. She died on 27 November 1948 at age 69, Bert Netterfield's name is also listed on the record--relationship unknown.

5.6.7 Delilah Ake, was born in about 1831 in Pennsylvania, she signed her name as Delilah Wetsel (or Wetzel) in 1853. Delilah apparently settled in Cambria County, near her sister Lucinda (Ake) Pringle. She is mentioned in Lucinda's obituary in 1900. The 1870 Federal Census of Carrolltown, Cambria County, listed (all were born in "Penna"):

There were several other Pringle families listed, relationships unknown. Joseph W. Pringle, was the second child and eldest son of Martin and Elizabeth (Walters) Pringle, and was born in Summer Hill Township, Cambria County, Pennsylvania on 15 June 1828. There is a great biography of the Pringle family written in the "History of Cambria County, Volume III" , which also includes a biography of their son Caselton (it states that Lucinda and Joseph had a total of nine children, and lists their names and spouses etc.). The 1870 Federal Census of Croyle, Cambria County listed the Pringle's (all family members were born in "Penn"):
