Samuel was my great great great grandpa, father of my great great grandma, Mary Sophia Kiehl Romberger.
Samuel appears on the 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880 censuses as a shoemaker in Northumberland County. For several of the censuses he has a grandchild living in the household with himself and his wife, Esther. In 1870, it's Mary Romberger, and in 1880, it's Clara Romberger, both daughters of his daughter, Mary Sophia Kiehl Romberger, wife of Gilbert Romberger.
During his tenure as a shoemaker, Samuel must have seen the evolution from buckles to laces, and from shoes pairs that were alike, to shoes differentiated for the left and right foot, an innovation that re-emerged during the second half of the 1800's.
