  • Name: George Handspiker
  • Birth: 13-MAY-1819 in: Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada
  • Death: 12-APR-1883 in: Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada
  • Father: Conrad Handspiker, Jr
  • Mother: Jane VanTassel

Notes: Some have listed David James as this man's son. However, that is pretty unlikely, given just the known dates. Maybe David Freeman Handspiker? Some major confusion on George. There are dates listed for him, showing him as both Conrad Sr and Conra d Jr's son. The one consistency was a death date of 12-Apr-1857, which claimed he was 64 (born about 1793) years old. I am under the impression that there was a George in both of the Conrad's families. The one born in 1793, son of Conrad Sr. an d the one born 1819, son of Conrad Jr. or William. The date of christening of the son of William is within three days of THIS George!

  • Mother:

Notes: Have nothing to ensure Bethial was THIS George's wife, except the only other George Handspiker of the time period was married to Catherine. Could be all the same George with two wives. Until so proven, will leave Bethial as THIS George's wife (a t least as a placeholder). Obituary reads as follows:

Digby Courier---Dec.27, 1895, Friday,----Mrs Bethial Handspiker, widow
of the late Geo. Handspiker died on Tues.at a well advanced age. She has
been in poor health for sometime. The funeral yesterday afternoon was
largely attended.
