Joseph lived in Knowlton Twp, NJ until at least 1830.  The Joseph Kishpaugh
family moved to Starkey, Yates, NY in 1832. He is found in the 1860 census
in Enfield, NY, and the 1870 census in Barton living with his son, Jonas.

Jonas [19.11, child iii] left behind one last bit of a paper trail to
tell the story of his life.  In the deed abstract for the property at 67
Kispaugh Road, once known as Lazy Acres, we find the Last Will and Testament
of Jonas Kishpaugh.  Dated 14 February 1891 and recorded in Deed Book 152,
page 122 on 18 February 1908:

Said will sets forth as follows:
After the payment of my funeral charges, the expenses of administering
my estate and my lawful debts, I give, devise and bequeath my property
as follows:
First: To my Wife Dorcas A. Kishpaugh all of My real Estate and My personal
property to have and to hold and to use as She May See fit her life time and
at her death a good Suitable Monument be Erected at her grave by My Executors
out of My Estate and her funeral Charges be paid out of the Same also Then
what may be left I will and bequeath to Libbie C. Smith my Niece the use
of it her natural life time at her death I then Will and Bequeath to Iva
M. And Alice E. Smith That may be left be Equally divided between the two
and in Case Either one Should die the other one to have the whole of what
may be left.  Likewise, I make, constitute and appoint Dorcas A. Kishpaugh
and Libbie C. Smith and John E. Smith to be executers of my last Will and
Testament, hereby revoking all former Wills by me made.

Note: Records in the office of the Surrogate of Tioga County, New York, show:
that Jonas Kishpaugh died on or about October 23, 1907; that his said will
was admitted to probate February 17, 1908, that on said last named date
letters testamentary were issued to Libbie C. Smith and John E. Smith,
two of the executors named in said will; and that Dorcas A. Kishpaugh,
the wife of said testator, died prior to the death of said testator.

Hence search has not been made against the said Dorcas A. Kishpaugh.

From mcanzler November 8, 2010:

I grew up on Kishpaugh Road, in the house that Jonas Kishpaugh, great
grandson of Johan Jost and Anna Elizabeth Girschbach, built in the early
1850's. This house is in the Town of Barton, Waverly, New York. My parents
owned the house from 1953 till their death. My youngest brother now owns
the house. I've done a little bit of research on the children of Joseph and
Catherine (Snook) Kishpaugh that settled in Tioga County, enough to be able
to follow your post and know Jonas descends from Johan Jost Kishpaugh. At
one point (around 1880) George Kishpaugh lived on a farm very near his
brother Jonas, but I have not yet figured out which farm that would have been.

The pictures [Misc->19.11ch-iii.jpg and Misc->19.11ch-iii-2.jpg] are of Jonas
Kishpaugh's house as it looked when my parents bought it. It was then known
as Lazy Acres, a name my mother loathed!

From "The Biographical and Genealogical Records of the Kishpaugh Family"
by Florence Marie Kishpaugh:

BEGIN

  Joseph left New Jersey ahead of Catherine for a new home in Yates Co.,
New York.  She later followed, with her seven children, in a covered wagon,
pulled by an Ox team.  She cooked meals along the way and stopped for the
nights, in the taverns by the wayside.  One morning, after packing her 'pots
and pans' and loading the older children into the wagon, well on the way
into her journey, she discovered she had left the baby asleep in the Inn.
This baby was Joseph.  She returned to find she had left him.

  Joseph and Catherine had seven more children in New York, making fourteen
in all.  Eleven of these children grew to maturity.
