Extract from "History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches of Many of Its Pioneers and Prominent Men" by Boyd Crumrine, Philadelphia, L H Leverts & Co., 1882:
Charles Stoolfire was a farmer who lived and died in Donegal township. His home was a farm of one hundred and six acres of land, which he purchased of George Humbaugh, Aug. 18, 1804, a part of the tract "Freedom," patented to Mark Causland Jan. 15, 1798. The homestead of Charles Stoolfire is now owned by Mr. Ralston. He had a very large family of children, eleven of whom reached mature age. Joshua married Margaret Miller. Jacob, who married Isabella Rogers, and Margaret, the wife of Alexander Hunt, both live in Licking County, Ohio. Catharine married Jacob Grear, and went to Hancock County, Ohio. Lydia also married, and lives in Ohio. Sarah became the wife of James McKey, and removed to Illinois. George married Nancy Madden, and lives in this State. David went to Kansas, where he married, and Susan, who became Mrs. Joseph Ritchie, lives in Ohio. Nancy is Mrs. John Rush, and resides near West Middletown, in this county. Eliza died single. Mrs. Daniel Sheller, Mrs. Ruth Hayburn, and other residents in this vicinity are lineal descendants of Charles Stoolfire.

According to old Stoolfire family records, Charles was born in Germany and came to America in 1801 with a brother, originally settling in Butler Co., Pennsylvania. If so, he must have married right around the time he arrived as daughter Sarah was born in January 1802. Per census records, his wife Elizabeth was born in Pennsylvania, but possibly she may have been from Germany as well. Per these old family records, he was buried in the woods near his home, died in 1852 in his 78th year. Also buried in that cemetery was a Rachel Stoolfire, died July 29, 1827, age 39 years and 6 months, and Charles' daughter, Eliza, died September 30, 1843. All the stones are now said to be gone. Elizabeth Fronacker Stoolfire is buried in York Street Cemetery, Licking County, Ohio near Granville.

He married Elizabeth Betsy Froniker about 1801 in Hebron, Licking, Ohio.
