Funkhouser Ancestry
There is still a missing link in the Funkhouser line, and if found, the  generations are traced back to the 1300s in Switzerland. Daniel Bly elaborates 
on this: "I think if we can find John Funkhouser Sr.'s father, I could link him to the Fankhausers of the Emmenthal Valley  of Bern, Switzerland.  I have set up  a Funkhouser DNA project and have several Fankhausers from Switzerland who can trace their line back to the 1300s. The DNA evidence is that all the Funkhouser in America are definitely related to each other and to the ones in Switzerland.  The problem is that in the late 1600s so many Swiss from that area were moving to other parts of Switzerland or on down to the Rhine region of Germany, looking for work and then their children were the ones who went to America. John Funkhouser, was also an Anabaptist, at least here in Virginia, and like the Stauffers and Neuenschwanders and Crabills, all from that same area, some were fleeing from 1660s onward and then after 1700 some were being expelled.  It is hard to find records. I think some of them moved frequently and left very little trace.
Incidently- for at least three generations the Funkhousers actually signed their name as Fankhauser. I have a copy of our mutual ancestor, Abraham Funkhouser Jr's bible record where he recorded all his and Catherine's children between 1806 and 1826 and he still wrote the family name as Fankhauser.  It appears in the official English records as Funkhouser because that is pretty much how it was pronounced." 
Abraham Funkhouser, Sr., was an older brother of Christian, and son of John Funkhauser, Sr. Abraham married Magdalena Campbell, an orphan of a man named John Campbell, who was raised by Daniel Stover, 
prominent Mennonite in the Massanutten region. Abraham and Magdalena had 8 children to survive, but may have 
lost a few as children because of the age gaps in known children.  Abraham's father John Funkhauser, Sr., arrived in Philadelphia, on the "Mortonhouse" 23 Aug. 1728 and signed the manifest 
as Johannes Fankhauser.   He first appears in Virginia on a road petition by settlers in Frederick County 
(which then included what is now Shenandoah County) dated July 1737.   John took out warrant for 400 acres 
on Funk's Mill Run (now Tumbling Run) near present day Mt.Olive in 1749 and received patent, Jan. 1752. In 
1762, he received patent for another 294 acres adjoining the 400. John wrote a will in Feb. 1760 and it was 
probated 5 Mar. 1765.  He named his wife Barbara in the will and according to British law of the day gave 
his land to his oldest son, John, who was directed to give land or pay money to the other children when 
their mother died.  In 1776, John Jr. deeded 212 acres of the land to Christian Funkhouser and another 165 
to Abraham.  John lived on the original homesite and Abraham and Christian built their homes on their land 
downstream.   Christian and Barbara had 12 children, all surviving.  After Barbara died, Christian married 
Catherine Stover whose sister Barbara Stover is another ancestor of mine - both daughters of 
Jacob Stover (Stauffer) and Catherine Bowman Stover.
