Jacob Seltzer Spang was the individual for whom the borough of Spangsville was named in 1840. The Spang home, built by his father, Frederick, in 1792, still stands in that area. (William Neislar)http://searches1.rootsweb.com/usgenweb/archives/pa/montgomery/history/local/mchb0051.txt
History: Local: Chapter XLVII: Borough of Norristown - Part II : Bean's 1884 History of Montgomery Co, PA
In 1837 the public-houses had increased to nine. The "Washington" was kept by Abraham Markley, the "Rising Sun" by Samuel Sharpless, the "Eagle" by Henry Kerr, the Norristown Hotel by Jacob Spang, and the "Pennsylvania Farmer" by Daniel Emery.
As indicative of the charges going on, we may mention that as public-houses the Washington House, the Rising Sun and Norristown Hotel have for some time ceased to exist. The "Eagle" is the present Rambo House, since greatly enlarged.

John Bernard Hersberger was named for his maternal grandfather, Johannes George Remsberg and his paternal grandfather, Bernard Hersperger, but most records show him as John B. Hersberger.
As the oldest son, John B. inherited his father Henry's property. However, it appears he also inherited several property problems that had to be settled with his aunts in Equity Court and possibly other debts. There are many records attempting to settle these issues of land in and around Jefferson that had come to his father through his grandfather Bernard Hersperger.
He married Sarah Ann Wiles on September 20, 1820 in the Lutheran Church in Middletown, Frederick County, Maryland. They had three sons. In 1929, John B., Sarah, and their youngest son George Washington Hersberger all died. Their oldest son, Henry Thomas, died about 1832. This left their son John William Hersberger as the only survivor from this family. The guardianship papers show two of his guardians were his uncles, Henry Hersperger and John Dare husband of Susan Hersperger. Most likely he was raised by Henry because John William named many of his children after his first cousins who were Henry's children. Both uncles lived in Jefferson. However, there is one unverified family story that has him placed with a cobbler that he ran away from. That story has him raised by a kindly farmer that found him.
The grave for John B., Sarah Ann, and their two sons are unknown. However, there are many unmarked graves in the Union Cemetery in Jefferson near his father and his brother. They are most likely buried there.

LEMUEL R. SPONG, one of the prominent citizens of East Pennsboro township,
Cumberland county, was born May 21, 1855, in that township, a son of Joseph
and Caroline (Marsh) Spong.
John Leonard Spong, the grandfather, was a native of Germany, and the
grandmother, whose maiden name was De Werter, was a native of Dauphin county.
Joseph Spong was born Feb. 2, 1823, and grew up a farmer boy, with few
educational opportunities. He continued to farm until 1861, when he moved to
West Fairview, and was employed in the nail mill until the works closed. In
politics he was a Democrat. In religious connection he was a Lutheran, and he
was a man universally respected. He married Caroline Marsh, who was born in
York county, from ancestry of the British Isles, and who still survives at
the age of seventy-seven years. Lemuel R. is the only surviving child, two
others dying in infancy, and Noah dying in 1882, aged twenty-five years. Mrs.
Spong is noted for her kind and gentle disposition and is beloved by all who
knew her. She is a devout member of the Lutheran Church.
Lemuel R. Spong was reared to manhood in his native place and at Fairview,
whither his father removed when he was six years of age. He attended the
Fairview schools until he was twelve years old, when he entered the nail
works at a wage of fifty cents a day, and continued to work there, through
all the departments, being promoted from the position of office boy to that
of overseer of the shipping department. In addition to acting as foreman of
this important department he served as agent for the Adams Express Co. and
the Northern Central Railroad at Fairview. In 1884 he was elected register of
wills for Cumberland county, entering upon his duties in January, 1885, and
served his full term, removing his family at that time to Carlisle. In
August, 1888, he became manager for the McCormick estate quarry interests,
and served as such until July, 1900, since which time he has been operating
the Walton quarry of the estate, at Lemoyne, for himself, and is also
interested in other quarries. Mr. Spong is also interested in the manufacture
of a patent fertilizer lime and is erecting an ex tensive plant for the same.
This plant is situated at Bonny Brook, below Carlisle, on the Gettysburg &
Harrisburg railroad. Mr. Spong is also the owner of large farming properties
and other real estate in Cumberland county, and is one of its most substantial
men. He is president of the Mechanicsburg Gas & Water Company.
On Oct. 24, 1875, in West Fairview, Mr. Spong married Miss Rosie Mann,
daughter of George and Mary Ann (Eslinger) Mann. She passed away April 12,
1904, a member of the Lutheran Church, which Mr. Spong also attends and to
which he is a liberal contributor. Politically, he is a Democrat and has been
active in the party since early manhood. Fraternally, he belongs to the Royal
Arcanum, Modern Woodmen and Heptasophs. | SPONG, Lemuel R. (I3891)

SPANG, ROBERT W., p 734
Surnames: SPANG, YOUNG, VAN HORN, HOLTMAN, HENDEL, FILBERT
Robert W. Spang, a veteran of the Civil war, who was one of the first to respond to his country's call in 1861, is a native of Reading, born Sept. 15, 1845, son of Daniel and Mary (Young) Spang.
Daniel Spang was a son of George, who resided in Amity township, Berks county. There were five children, George, William, John, Daniel and Catherine. Daniel in his earlier years was a manufacturer of mill stones in Reading, later ran a chair factory, and finally engaged in the china and toy business, being located at No.627 Penn street. He was very successful financially, and was a prominent man in Reading. He married Mary, daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth Young. Her father was a pioneer of Reading, and was well known there, a cabinet maker by trade. His father bought property at No.627-629 Penn street, where most of the family reside, from the Penns, and the old house is one of the landmarks of the city. Daniel Spang died when only forty-eight years of age, but his wife lived to be seventy-eight. Their children were as follows: Elizabeth, widow of H. D. Van Horn, a wholesale shoe dealer in Philadelphia, who now makes her home in the old family place on Penn street; Mary, deceased; H. W., engaged in the electrical business in New York City; Robert W.; Emma, Mrs. Holtman; Daniel, Jr., who died March 18, 1907; Sallie, also at the old home; and Isaac, formerly cashier of the Reading National Bank, who married Miss Emma Hendel. Daniel Spang was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, a Republican in politics, and a man highly esteemed by all who knew him.
Robert W. Spang was sent to the public schools, but he was of an active, adventurous temperament, and when only fourteen years of age ran away from home and enlisted in Company B, 93d Pa. V. I., being mustered in at Camp Coleman, Lebanon county. When the war broke out in 1861, he was one of the first to enlist, and saw much active service as a private in the Army of the Potomac, participating in the battles of Yorktown, the Wilderness, Antietam and Spottsylvania. In time he was given a furlough and returned to his home once more. His mother refused to let him rejoin the army, as he was still so young, and he never received a formal discharge until during Grover Cleveland's administration.
On settling down again in Reading Mr. Spang went into the Philadelphia and Reading shops, and learned the trade of a machinist, remaining in the employ of that road for eighteen years. The next eighteen were spent in the electrical business, in company with his brother, and during seven of those years he was in New York City. The last seven years he has been employed by the Carpenter Steel Company, at Reading.
Mr. Spang married Miss Cordelia Filbert, whose great-uncle was the first mayor of Reading. They have one son, Charles R., a plumber by occupation. Mr. Spang is a Lutheran in his religious faith, but his wife and son are of the Reformed faith. He is a man well known in Reading and has many friends. One of his greatest pleasures is to recall from his present pleasant vantage ground, stories of the many hardships which he endured in the days of the war.
(Source - Montgomery, Morton "Historical and Biographical History of Berks County", 1909. as taken from the Berks County Web-Gen Project)
According to the military records posted on Berks County WebGen pages, Robert W. Spang enlisted November 9, 1861; and deserted November 21, 1863.

In Relief of Robert W. Spang - US Senate - Feb 8, 1887
Mr. Cameron, from the Committee on Military Affairs, submitted the following:
REPORT
The Committee on Military Affairs, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 9446) for the relief of Robert W. Spang, having had the same under consideration, beg leave to submit the following report:
Robert W. Spang, when just turned fifteen years of age, enlisted in Company B, Ninety-third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, September, 1861, as a private, contrary to the wishes of his widowed mother. He was with the Army of the Potomac at the battle of Williamsburg, Va., Fair Oaks, Va., in the seven days' retreat, and Malvern Hill. Returning to Washington, met his regiment and went to South Mountain, Maryland, participating in Couch's long march, reaching Antietam two days after the fight. Was then sent to Fredericksburg, on the Rappahannock, and was in Burnside's retreat, and went into camp, Falmouth, Va. He there received a furlough dated April 20, 1863, for good record, for ten days, expiring May 8, 1863. He overstaid his time, and upon being arrested for desertion, upon Habeas Corpus, at the suggestion of his mother, heard before Hon. Warren J. Woodward, president judge of court of common pleas of Berks County, Pennsylvania, was on June 8, 1863, discharged according to law from the military service of the United States. His military record and character are good. He was a mere boy when he enter the service against the will of his parent, and under the circumstances we report the bill, with the recommendation that it do pass. | SPANG, Robert William (I95)

"The Givens had farms in Madison, Hamilton and Henry Counties. They moved to the family farm in Middletown, Henry County, Indiana, in 1918. It had 40 acres on both sides of the road. This would remain the family home until 1970 when the farm was sold after Elmer and Pearl died.
The home that the family moved into was only a few years old at the time and consisted of four bedrooms, a parlor, a living room, dining room and kitchen, with front and back porches and a cellar. It was not modern and thus did not have running water and electricity until many years later.
The farm was located 2-1/2 miles southeast of Middletown, Indiana and one-half mile south of the Miller Cemetery where Elmer and Pearl Givens are buried.
The three oldest children (Willis, Fern, Audrey) attended the one room Painter School, 1 mile north of the farm until 1920 when the school closed and then the children went to school in Middletown. The family were members of the Middletown Methodist Church and of the Republican Party" (Arthur Givens -unsigned Genealogy, credited to Arthur by his cousin, Stuart Givens.)

"The Spang Family of Boston" indicates that Peter suddenly left Prussia for South Africa after shooting his commanding officer.
*****
Went to Cape Town, South Africa in 1870 (Age 16) after shooting to death his commanding officer. family only received two letters from him
the following is from Franz Spang in South Africa
Peter Franz boarded a ship in 1870, with Laage, working as a sailor/ seaman. We
do not know who was his employer and why he did this. It could maybe have been
to avoid prosecution for the murder. They were in in Cape Town at Tafelbergbay
in 1870/71 and decided to stay in South Africa. In 1872 Peter Franz moved to
Middelburg in the Old Tranvaal Republic,that became the Province Transvaal, that
is now known as Mpumalanga ( this means the place where the sun rises)
Peter Franz was married to Gertuida Elizabeth Bosman and on the 24th of December
1881 a son was born. Frans Pieter Spang. This is my Father's Grandfather. My
uncle has a Certificate of Christening that was witnessed by a FJ Spang and a FL
Spang. This was in all possibly his brother? Your Grandfather?
We do not know who they were and there is no record of them ever staying in
South Africa. There were in all 14 children born, but 12 of them didn?t make it
past 2.
