The Onstott Family
This information comes from my Great Uncle Leslie Breeding, who passed
away last year. Thank you so much Uncle Leslie.
It is believed that all the Onstotts in the country can trace their
families to George Onstott (Johann George Anstott). George was the
fouth of nine children born to the Johann Peter Anstade family in Bad
Deurkheim, Pfalz, Bavaria and was christened in 1718. George Onstott
arrived in this country on the ship Two Brothers from Rotterdam on 13
October, 1747. He likely married in Bavaria. George and his wife Ann
Mary had the following children: Henry, Anna Marie, Margaret, john,
George, Nicholas and Magdalena. George Onstott died in Frederick
County, Maryland in 1778. The Onstotts moved thru Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Tennessee and then Illinois. It is known that David
Onstott, grandson of George, and son of Nicholas, lived at Sangamon
County, Illinois. David’s uncle Henry Onstott also lived in Illinois;
probably other Onstotts lived there too. David and Peggy Smick
Onstott had the following children: Elmira, Eliza, David, and Lucy.
The David Onstott family moved to Taney County, Missouri before 1843
since their daughter Eliza Onstott married my great great great
grandfather James Coffee Turnbo in Taney County Missouri by that
year. Several branches of the family tell a story that is in general
agreement. To wit, Abraham Lincoln, long before he was in the public
eye, made a trip to the Ozarks on horseback and visited his former
neighbors, the Onstotts.
