Abstract
A history of the Stateler/Statler family of West Virginia, Ohio, and Illinois from Stephen Statler (ca. 1710-ca. 1784) to
Rebecca Margaret Stateler Dougan (1838-1911). The family's settlement patterns start with Stephen Statler disembarking in
Philadelphia from Germany in 1749. The family alternately settled along the frontier in Hardy Co. and Monongalia Co., WV;
Fayette Co. and Greene Co., PA; Licking Co., OH; and Marshall Co., IL. Their settlement in southwestern Pennsylvania and north
central West Virginia corresponded with the Revolutionary War in which Jacob Statler (1748-78), as a soldier, was killed by
Indians; and Jakes Run in Monongalia County is named to honor him. Although this collection is primarily a genealogy which
is the original intention of its compilers, there is much history of the Jakes Run and Pentress, originally Statlerstown,
portions of Monongalia County including maps and illustrations. Other head members of the family mentioned are John Statler,
Jacob Stateler, John Stateler, Stephen A. Stateler and David Stateler. Also mentioned are the related families of Brown/Braun
and Hannum.
