Notes
*Many family tales and traditions were handed down by both L.J.Manbeck and Lillie Chambers Manbeck to their two younger daughters, Gladys Manbeck Hansen and Hilda Manbeck Vandervelde. Sophia's mother Elizabeth was the daughter of John George Pfrimmer, one of the founders of the United Brethren Church which later merged with the Methodist church to become the United Methodist Church. Many details of Sophia's family and ancestry are available from the archives of the United Brethren in Huntington, Indian.
