Notes
a. Note:   Just prior to his marriage, according to the 1850 census of West Penn Twp., Jacob Confer lived in the household of a carpenter names Nathan Rex. Jacob, along with three Henninger brothers were there to learn the carpenter trade. Just a few houses away lived Caroline's family. This is probably how they met. Pat Shirock states that of all the spellings of the family, she and others believe the original name was spelled CONVER. There are several different spellings of the Cunfer name found on different census reports and church records. They are Confehr, Cunfer, Counter and Kunfer. 1791 In the assessment of 1791 the name of four male Confehrs are listed - Phillip, Peter, Michael Sr. and Michael Jr. 1794 In Ben Salem Church which began in 179Le the name Cunfer is recorded with George Cunfer an early member. 1790 In the 1790 census report the name is spelled Confehr. 1830 In 1850 an entry was found under George Counter. In 1840 a record is found for George Kunfer - East Penn Northampton County. Today the two most popular spellings are Cunfer and Confer.
