UPDATE APRIL 10, 2000
Note: Recently I found in Virginia Bible Records by Jeannette Holland Austin, pub. 1987, additional entries to Israel's Bible Record as of the 1987 date. She notes that the bible record can be found at the University of Texas in Austin, TX. The additional entries here are from early Maryland (Baltimore Co.) and possible provide unexplored connections to Israel Standefer's family.
In addition to the above Standefer entries, these are also listed:
