We do not know much about the origin of the Stophel family. One researcher believes that they may be from Reinstein/Ravenstein, Holland. I have found no proof of this. Abe Stophel in the census is identified as being born in Virginia. There may be a connection with David Stophel who bought the property of Abraham Grubb (2) from the estate with Michael Grubb as executor.

Cemetary Records of Stophel Cemetery, Sullivan Co., TN

We still don't know who David Stophel Sr. is. He is old enough being born in 1807 to be the younger brother of Abe Stophel above.
