Paternal Burkhart Ancestry Stewart Cleveland Saylor’s ancestry includes the Revolutionary War veteran Jacob Burkhart. Jacob’s Revolutionary War pension application claim’s a family of 27 children with his only wife Elizabeth. Documentation of Jacob’s family is not complete. Many of his descendants shortened their last name to Burket or Burkett. The Glen Savage Ranch now surrounds the Burkhart homestead and cemetery. Maternal Rager Ancestry Rachel Jane (Paul) Saylor’s ancestry includes the Revolutionary War veteran Michael Rager, Per information provided by Luella F. Younkins, “Michael Rager was married four times. As wives died, he would marry again and have a family to each wife. It is generally believed that he fathered at least 27 children, 20 were sons.” Documentation of this Cambria County family is more complete than that of the Burkhart family. I believe a large family reunion is still held annually.
