Note: The descendants of this son, of Jacob Sticher/Stitcher, kept the Stidger spelling and flourished in Ohio. A web search produced Stidgers in Texas and California. Felix G. (George?) Stidger, acted as a counterspy for Colonel Carrington's war on the Indiana "Copperheads". Another, General Henry A. Stidger, was involved with the Carrollton and Oneida Railroad, in Ohio. George Stidger had a daughter, Judith Ann, who married General James Allen, whose grave overlooks the Yuba River, in North San Juan, California. Allen, born in 1801, in Chambersburg, Pa., was a journalist in Ohio, who helped secure the nomination of William Henry Harrison, as President of the United States. Allen served in the Mexican War, in 1846, under Zachary Taylor. General George Stidger was on a tour of the East Coast with his wife, when he was taken ill. He was buried out of the home of his sister, Elizabeth Stitcher, and her husband, Leonard Frailey, in Maryland.
The Stidger family has been researched by Beverly Carrigan, of Georgetown, Texas, and Mary Lou Pavlick, of Summerville, South Carolina. Dennis Stark, of Ohio, researched Mary Riley/Rielly. Dennis' family did not name Stark County, Ohio.
