Title: D. Ginger
Post by: NSBrown on July 16, 2008, 07:56:58 PM

Can someone please refer me to a source of information on D. Ginger? He was an original gunmaker working in West Virginia (I believe).

I have Daniel Ginger listed in Preble County, Ohio (southwestern Ohio on the Indiana border) having been born April 16, 1799 in Carlisle, Pa.  He was married in Rockbridge, Va. in 1831 to Kezia Ochiltree and had 5 children. He moved to Preble County, Ohio in 1832. His wife died in 1872 and he died on February 6, 1883 of accidental burns.

Hope this helps you some.
