Was my great great grandpa Big Jake or Little Jake? Does anyone know for sure? I would like to keep it straight, My grandpa was Jesse Lay Troxel or Troxell {However they felt like spelling it I guess} My birth Certificate says I am a Troxel, My dad and my brothers says they are a Troxell, I think my Grandpa Jesse says his is Troxel but I am not sure. I think his dad may have been Peter Troxel or Troxell. But I am a Troxel, Troxell or whatever it doesn't matter I am now a Sheffstall on my marriage License, but I could be a Shefstall, Shafstall, Shaffstall, Schoffstall, Schaffstall, Or some other way that it is spelled. Don't you think that it is amazing how names can get screwed up so badly until we don't know which way it is suppose to be???? Maybe someday we will know what name to use. HUH? Thank you for letting me post that. Yours sincerely, Kentucky Mae Troxel, Sheffstall
