The Stabler Family descendants from Johann George Stabler, a native of Leinfelden, Wuerttemberg, Germany, who came to America in 1821 and took up land near Job's Run, now Salladasburg, Mifflin Twonship, Lycoming County, PA. This was part of what was known as the 'Ellis Tract' in PA. On May 23, 1830 George bought 100 acres for $200.00, of land containing a stand of virgin timber. He cleared some of the land immediately to construct a small log shanty. During this time he carried the boards for his first cabin from a sawmill about 6 to 8 miles from his land. He was a blacksmith and farmer while also a repairman for the local farmers. This farm which he established has remained in the same family to this date. It is currently owned by Frederick Ulmer Stabler and his son Daniel. This farm is one of the oldest in Lycoming County to be held by a single family. George later built a second log house and barn near the southeast corner of the current pond. This second log house is where Abraham Stabler along with some of his brothers and sisters where born. This second log dwelling gave way to the current house which was built in 1854. It has since been enlarged from its original measurements of 24' X 30'.
Family records show that George Stabler married Sarah Elizabeth Waltz of Warrensville, PA. George and his family are recorded in the US Census of 1850 as living in Anthony Township, Lycoming County, PA. Their son Abraham married Margaret Ann Rhote (Von Roth). Abraham and his wife farmed the place for several years, then passed the farm on to their son Pierce Albert Stabler and his wife Mary Elizabeth (Lizzie) Ulmer, parents to the current owner Frederick. Fred and his wife Zella Lovell expanded the acreage in 1941 by acquiring 11.5 more acres to bring the total amount of land to approximately 112 acres. Frederick's son Daniel married Linell Reese from Cumberland County, PA. They have a son Kurtlan Daniel Stabler who will be the sixth generation of Stabler's to own the farm. This farm has the distinction of being the longest owned property by a single family in Lycoming Co.

They are all buried within a 12ft. area between David Stabler, son of Johann George Stabler and Emma Lavina Stabler, daughter of Abraham Stabler. There are no markers for the children as of today.

- [S544] Stammbaum Wäldchen of the settlers of Blooming Grove, original family tree, printed in German. Stammbaum Wäldchen means "Family Tree Little Woods," being several family trees within a single large registry. This document was recorded exactly as it was printed by Kevin L. Sholder in 1997, and then all but the names were translated into the English language by Mrs. Steiner of the Centerville High School German Department, Centerville, Ohio in 1998.
The document states at the beginning: "With approximately 20 family trees of families who largely live in Lycoming Co., Pa. and who still have living parents at the turn of the century, mostly from Mühringen and Eßlingen in Würtemberg, and who have moved here."
At the end is the following explanation or legend: "The letter and numbers of this family tree agree with each other. Branches and smaller branches always were counted from left to right. So one finds the members of their family according to their age. Wherever the family of both parents is given, the families are usually indicated twice, ex. a. 1., designates a family - father's side, while 1.2. indicates the mother's side. In the list of names the children and grandchildren of the father's side only are given, except when the sex of the father is not registered, then the mother's side is given. The letter s. stands for see the following letter a. or b. etc. indicates the family line from that s. person, and the number after that indicates the order then of the ages of the range of siblings, as one can see when one looks up the family tree according to the letters indicating the names and then the branch which is indicated with the designated number. The ever appearing K. = Kinder (children). The † behind a name indicates that the person has died, as well as an entire branch that has died out. The number following indicates the J jahr an unknown date M monat [month] W woche [week] or I Iag [day] of their age = indicated by capital letter. † indicates a person whose name was unknown."
At the very bottom of the document it states: "Upon request of friends, this has been set up and put into print." This document is 28 inches by 28 inches in size and contains 19 primary families, that make up approximately 500 individuals listed within. Based on known years of birth and death from other sources of persons within this tree, this document was printed circa 1860-1862.
The founding individuals and families arrived in Pennsylvania between 1804 and 1817. At the time that the Blooming Grove community produced this document many of the original settlers were still living resulting in the high quality of this source.
The document used for this record was handed down from Johann Michael Stäbler (family m. 2. in the document) to his son Abraham Stabler then to his son Pierce Albert Stabler it remained in the family home, 1453 Job's Run Road, Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania with his son Frederick U. Stabler, it was then passed to Fred's son Daniel Leroy in the year 2000 and then to his son Kurtlan Daniel Stabler, circa 2013, who built a new home in place of the original homestead still located at 1453 Job's Run Road, Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania where it remains a fixture within the home of Kurt and wife Lyndsay (Shader) Stabler.

Hereinafter cited as Stammbaum Wäldchen. - [S2] Family records from Abraham Stabler Family Bible, The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments, Translated out of the Original Tongues, with the Apocrypha, Concordance and Psalms and Revised New Testament (Philadelphia [Pennsylvania]: National Publishing Company, 1885); original owned in 2005 by Daniel Stabler, (Cogan Station, Pennsylvania). This Bible originally belonged to Abraham Stabler (1845-1923) being handed down on his death to his son Pierce Albert Stabler (1871-1941) and remained in the Stabler household until his death. At this time his son Frederick Ulmer Stabler (1907-2005) owned the Bible until the time of his death at which time it passed to his son Daniel Leroy Stabler.
